Terms of Service

Last updated: 11 November 2026

Draft. Have these terms checked by a lawyer, fill in the bracketed details, then remove this box before publishing.

1. Who we are

Weathry (“Weathry”, “we”, “us”) is a weather forecast service and a trading name of Steven Weiss, a sole trader in South Africa.

Address: 1 Vondrust Mews, Katzenellenbogen Rd, Noordhoek, 7979, South Africa
Email: info@weathry.com
Website: https://weathry.com

These terms apply to your use of the Weathry API, the Weathry MCP server and this website (together, the “Service”). By using the Service, or by buying tokens or a subscription, you agree to them. If you use the Service for an organisation, you confirm you may accept these terms for it.

2. The Service

Weathry provides weather forecasts for locations you save, through a REST API and an MCP server for AI assistants. Forecasts are produced from the global GFS weather model and are estimates of future conditions. They can be wrong.

Do not rely on the Service alone where an inaccurate forecast could cause injury, loss of life or serious damage, for example for aviation, marine navigation or emergency decisions.

3. Your account and API key

Your API key identifies you. Keep it secret: you are responsible for all use of the Service with your key, including tokens used.
Tell us straight away at info@weathry.com if you think your key has been exposed, so we can replace it.
Give us accurate contact details and keep them up to date.

4. Tokens, prices and payment

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns.

The Service is prepaid. One token pays for one forecast request. Managing locations does not use tokens, and requests that fail because of a server error on our side do not use a token.
Pay as you go: tokens are bought in top-ups of USD 5 or more and are valid for 12 months from purchase.
Subscriptions are paid monthly in advance on the 1st of each month (UTC). The first month is charged pro rata for the days left in that month, including the day you subscribe. Subscription tokens, and top-ups bought on a subscription, are valid until the end of the calendar month (UTC).
Prices are in US dollars and exclude tax. Paddle adds any sales tax or VAT that applies in your country.
When your tokens run out, forecast requests are refused until you buy more. We do not charge for overuse, except as described for renewals in section 5.
We may change prices with at least 30 days’ notice by email. Changes do not affect tokens you have already bought.

5. Subscriptions, renewals and cancelling

Subscriptions renew automatically each month until cancelled. You can cancel at any time in your billing portal or by emailing us. Cancelling stops future renewals; your plan ends with the month you have paid for, and tokens already bought stay valid until they expire.
Plan changes take effect on the 1st of the next month.
If a renewal payment is still being processed, you may keep using the Service for up to 3 days into the new month, up to 25% of your plan’s monthly tokens. Those tokens are taken from the renewed month, or from your next purchase if the renewal fails.

6. Refunds

Unused tokens can be refunded within 7 days of purchase. See our Refund Policy. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the Consumer Protection Act or the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, where they apply.

7. Acceptable use

You may use forecasts from the Service in your own products and services. You must not:

share your API key publicly, or let others use it outside your organisation;
try to get around token checks, or access other customers’ data;
overload, probe or disrupt the Service, or reverse-engineer it;
resell access to the API itself, or redistribute bulk forecast data as a competing weather data service, without our written agreement;
use the Service for anything unlawful.

We may suspend or end access that breaks these terms or puts the Service or other customers at risk. Where reasonable we will warn you first.

8. Availability and changes

We aim to keep the Service available and accurate but do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free or available at any particular time. We may change or improve the Service; if a change removes something you rely on, we will tell you in advance where we reasonably can.

9. No liability

The Service and its forecasts are provided “as is” and “as available”, without any warranty, express or implied, including about accuracy, completeness, availability or fitness for a particular purpose. You use forecasts at your own risk.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Weathry and Steven Weiss accept no liability of any kind, whether in contract, delict or otherwise, for any loss, damage, cost or claim arising from or connected with the Service or its forecasts, including direct, indirect or consequential loss, and loss of profit, revenue, data, bookings or business.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for gross negligence or fraud, or rights you have under the Consumer Protection Act where it applies. Where liability cannot be excluded but can be limited, it is limited to the amount you paid us in the 3 months before the event that caused the claim.

10. Your data

We handle personal information as described in our Privacy Policy. Locations you save remain yours, and we use them only to provide the Service.

11. Ending

You can stop using the Service at any time. We may end the Service for you on 30 days’ notice, or straight away for a serious breach of these terms. If we end it for reasons other than your breach, we will refund unused tokens you have paid for.

12. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms, our Privacy Policy and our Refund Policy from time to time, for example because of changes to the Service, our prices, the law, or how we run our business. The current versions are always on this website with the date they were last updated, and they replace earlier versions.

Changes take effect when we post them. If a change materially reduces your rights or adds to your costs, we will email you at least 14 days before it takes effect.

By using the Service after a change takes effect, you accept the changed terms. If you don’t accept a change, stop using the Service and email us within 14 days of the change taking effect: we will cancel your subscription and refund tokens you haven’t used.

13. Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa, and the High Court of South Africa, Western Cape Division, Cape Town, has jurisdiction.
