Terms of Use

Last updated: [date]

1. Who we are

Ride Like The Wind (“RLTW”, “we”, “us”) operates ridelikethewind.net, a tool that shows wind conditions along cycling routes. By using this site, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

2. What the service does

RLTW lets you enter a route (by pasting a Google Maps link, uploading a GPX file, or plotting your own) and returns wind, elevation, and estimated-speed information for that route, along with tools to download or share a GPX file and track wind conditions live.

3. Accounts

Some features require a free account. You're responsible for keeping your login details secure and for any activity that happens under your account. Let us know if you think your account's been compromised.

4. Accuracy of information

We pull wind and weather data from third-party sources and do our best to keep it accurate and current, but we can't guarantee it's error-free, and conditions can change quickly. RLTW is a planning aid, not a substitute for your own judgement, checking the weather yourself, or riding safely for the conditions you actually encounter. You're responsible for your own safety and route decisions when cycling.

5. Acceptable use

• Don't use the site to break the law or infringe anyone else's rights.
• Don't try to disrupt, overload, or reverse-engineer the service.
• Don't scrape or bulk-extract data from the site without permission.

6. Payments and subscriptions

Where paid features exist now or in future, pricing will be shown clearly before you pay, and billing terms (renewal, cancellation, refunds) will be set out at checkout. You can cancel a subscription at any time; cancellation stops future billing but doesn't automatically refund the current period unless stated otherwise.

7. Intellectual property

The RLTW name, logo, and site content are owned by us or our licensors. You're welcome to use the tool for your own personal cycling planning; you don't get any rights to reuse our branding or copy the site itself.

8. Changes to the service or these terms

We may update features, pricing, or these terms from time to time. We'll make a reasonable effort to flag significant changes; continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

9. Liability

To the extent permitted by law, RLTW is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, and we're not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of the site, including decisions made based on wind or route data provided.

10. Contact

11. Your Soul

By using this website, you agree I get to take possession of your immortal soul.

12. Riding at your own risk

Cycling and walking on roads and trails carry real risks. Whether you ride a route, how you ride it and the conditions you ride it in are entirely your decision and your responsibility.

• RLTW is a planning aid only. Routes, wind, weather, elevation and road warnings come from automated third-party data and forecasts, and may be wrong, out of date or unsuitable for you.
• Always check a route yourself, follow the Highway Code and local rules, and ride within your ability and for the conditions you actually meet.
• Don't look at or use your phone while riding.

So far as the law allows, we are not responsible for any injury, death, loss or damage that happens while you ride, walk or travel any route, whether it comes from road or trail conditions, traffic or other road users, weather, your equipment, your own decisions, or information on the site being inaccurate. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our own negligence, or anything else the law does not allow us to limit or exclude.
