Effective: 12 October 2026.
These terms apply to the Ubuntu Weather app on iPhone/iPad and Android, and to the website at ubuntuweather.co.za (together, the "service"). By using the service you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.
Ubuntu Weather shows weather forecasts, warnings, lightning, tides, solar estimates, activity scores, moon phases and related information for South Africa and elsewhere. Most of this data comes from third parties (see our Privacy Policy), and forecasts are predictions, not guarantees.
Not for safety-critical decisions. Information in the app may be late, incomplete or wrong, and alerts may be delayed or not delivered (for example if your phone is offline or notifications are off). Don't rely on the app alone where life, health or property is at stake — always follow official warnings from the South African Weather Service and instructions from emergency services. Activity scores (such as the Braai Gauge™ or Pool Day) are light-hearted guides, not advice.
You may use the service for personal, non-commercial purposes. Please don't misuse it — for example by trying to disrupt or overload our servers, scraping or reselling our data feeds, reverse-engineering the app beyond what the law allows, or sending abusive or unlawful content through Suggestions.
If you send us suggestions, feedback or screenshots, you agree we may use them to improve the service without owing you anything. Don't include other people's personal information or anything confidential.
The app, its design and the Ubuntu Weather and Braai Gauge™ names belong to us. Third-party data, imagery and icons remain the property of their owners and are used under their licences (credited in the app and its licence notices).
Free users see ads served by Google AdMob. We are not responsible for the content of third-party ads or the sites they link to.
The service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent permitted by law, including the Consumer Protection Act, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the service or from reliance on its information. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under South African law that cannot be excluded.
On iPhone/iPad, Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. On Android, the Google Play Terms of Service apply to your use of Google Play. Apple and Google are not responsible for the app or its support.
We may update these terms; the "Effective" date above shows the latest version, and continuing to use the service means you accept the changes. We may suspend or end the service, or a user's access to it, if needed — paid subscriptions are then handled under section 2 and the store's policies.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa.
