The fine print
Terms
Updated 10 October 2026
Short and honest, like the forecast: what you can expect from Velvind, and what Velvind expects from you.
A forecast is a forecast
Velvind turns weather-model data (Open-Meteo) into a reading of your ride. It is a judgment aid, not a guarantee: models miss, mountains make their own weather, and conditions change faster than any forecast. You decide whether and how to ride, and you ride at your own risk.
The service
Velvind is provided as-is, run by one person. It may change, pause, or gain and lose features without notice. If something breaks, it will be fixed as fast as one pair of hands allows.
Your routes stay yours
You keep all rights to the routes and plans you bring in. Sharing a route or group ride creates a link that makes that ride visible to anyone holding it — sharing is your call, and you can delete the ride to end it.
Connected services
Maps come from Mapbox, forecasts from Open-Meteo, and the next two hours of rain near you from MET Norway; their availability is theirs to control.
Strava
Strava import is optional and one-way, and your use of Strava is governed by Strava's own terms. Velvind is not affiliated with or endorsed by Strava, and Strava is not responsible for Velvind. Strava makes no warranty about its services or about the Strava data shown in Velvind, and accepts no liability for them or for anything that happens through Velvind.
Fair use
Don't scrape the service, hammer the forecast endpoints, probe other riders' data, or use Velvind for anything unlawful. Accounts doing so can be removed.
