DRAFT — not legal advice. Review by a qualified lawyer before publishing.
Version: 1.0 · Effective from: 10 November 2026
These terms are between you and Alessandro Voltan, a private individual, Alameda Mazarredo 43, 48009 Bilbao, Spain ("we"). Uretara is a free, personal, non-commercial project. By using the Uretara app you accept them. If you don't, please don't use the app. Contact: hello@uretara.com.
1. What Uretara is, and what it isn't
Uretara reads surf forecasts: it turns weather and wave model data into a plain-language call for a beach and a skill level. It is a forecast reading, not a safety service. It doesn't know about rips on the day, sandbanks that moved, closed beaches, warnings, pollution, or how you feel today. Please read the safety notice in the app (Settings › Safety) or at https://uretara.com/support; it is part of these terms.
Where a reading is marked "Computed, not checked by a local", it comes from the shape of the coastline and default assumptions, and nobody who knows that place has checked it.
2. Your licence
We give you a personal, free, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app on Apple devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use, under these terms and the App Store's rules.
Please don't copy, resell or redistribute the app or its content (spot briefings, illustrations, the Olatu character), scrape our servers, or try to break or overload them.
3. It's free, and it may change
The app is free. We can change, pause or stop it, or any feature, at any time. We'll try to give notice in the app if we can. We don't promise that a spot, region, camera or feature will stay available.
4. Forecasts and information: no guarantee
Forecasts are predictions and are often wrong. Wind and swell come from weather models (via Open-Meteo) and can miss local effects. Tide figures come from a global model and may be less accurate in estuaries, bays and big-tide coasts. Spot briefings are written by people and can be out of date. Computed readings may be wrong about which way a coast faces or which swells reach it.
The app and its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without any promise that they're accurate, complete, up to date or fit for a particular purpose, as far as the law allows. If you're a consumer, you keep all the rights that consumer law gives you and that can't be excluded.
5. Your safety is your decision
You decide whether to go in the water. Before you do, look at the sea, check the flags and official warnings, and ask a lifeguard. If unsure, don't paddle out. No call in Uretara (including "Worth it" or "Go") means it's safe for you.
6. Our liability
As far as the law allows:
- We aren't liable for losses caused by relying on a forecast, a call, a briefing or a computed reading, by third-party content, or by the app being unavailable.
- We aren't liable for indirect losses or loss of data, profit or opportunity.
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our act or omission, for fraud, for intentional harm or gross negligence, or for anything else the law doesn't allow us to limit or exclude.
7. Third-party content and services
Uretara shows or links to content we don't own or control: forecast data from Open-Meteo; maps and satellite imagery from Apple Maps (with their own attribution); coastline data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), used for computed readings where shown; buoy readings and official marine bulletins from public services. That content belongs to its owners, may stop working at any time, and is covered by their own terms. This version shows no live cameras. We aren't responsible for third-party websites you open from the app.
Attributions and licences: in the app, Settings › Credits.
8. Contributions
Spot briefings are written by us, or come from local surfers through the spot-suggestion form (section 8a) and are then credited "Checked by" the name they gave.
8a. Spot suggestions
You can suggest corrections to a spot, or a new spot, on our web form (/help). If you do:
- You confirm that your answers come from your own knowledge of the spot, not copied from another guide or website.
- You license your answers under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence (CC BY 4.0), credited as you chose: the name you gave, or "a local surfer".
- We may edit, combine or decline answers. Nothing is published before we have reviewed it.
- Please don't include personal data about other people.
- You can ask us to remove your credit at hello@uretara.com.
How we handle what you send is in the privacy policy, section 3a.
9. Privacy
How we handle data is explained in the privacy policy (https://uretara.com/privacy). In short: no accounts, no analytics, no tracking.
10. Apple
These terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple isn't responsible for the app or its content, and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it. Your licence to use the app comes from Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, which applies alongside these terms; if the two conflict, Apple's agreement prevails for the licence. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We'll change the date at the top and, for important changes, tell you in the app before they apply. If you keep using the app after that, the new terms apply. If you don't agree, stop using the app and delete it.
12. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by Spanish law. If you're a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you can bring a claim in the courts there. Otherwise, the courts of Bilbao (Spain) are competent, without prejudice to your rights as a consumer.
If any part of these terms is invalid, the rest still applies.
