Terms of service

Updated October 14, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Pablo Miranda, who runs Hindcast (hindcastweather.com). By using the site you accept them. The privacy policy explains what is kept about you. Questions: support@pablin.me.

1. The service

Hindcast shows weather forecasts blended from several models, how much those models agree, and how accurate past forecasts were. Forecasts are estimates and can be wrong. Don’t rely on Hindcast where safety, life or property is at stake: for warnings, follow your national weather service and local authorities. Features and data sources change over time.

2. Accounts

• The free plan needs no account. An account is needed only for Hindcast Pro.
• You must be 13 or older to create an account. If you are under 18, you need a parent’s or guardian’s permission to buy Pro.
• An account is for one person. Use an email address you can read: it is how you sign in.
• You are responsible for what happens in your account; tell us if you think someone else has used it.

3. Hindcast Pro 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. Paddle’s buyer terms also apply to your purchase.
• Pro is sold as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a single lifetime purchase. Prices are on the Pro page, and checkout shows them in your currency with any sales tax or VAT for your country.
• Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from your account and keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
• “Lifetime” means for as long as Hindcast runs the Pro service.
• Features that are free today stay free. If a price changes later, it doesn’t affect a period or purchase already paid for.

4. Refunds

• 30 days: if Hindcast Pro isn’t for you, ask for a full refund of any payment within 30 days of it, by writing to support@pablin.me or through Paddle, which sends your receipt. Pro ends on that account once the payment is refunded.
• After 30 days, payments are not refunded. You can cancel a subscription at any time and keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
• Nothing here limits your rights under the law where you live. Consumers in the European Union, the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland have a statutory 14-day right to withdraw from a purchase of digital content; the 30 days above include it.

The refund policy also has its own page.

5. Using Hindcast fairly

Use the site for your own information. Don’t:

• scrape or download forecasts or scores in bulk with automated tools, or resell them;
• share an account’s Pro access with others, or get around what Pro unlocks;
• interfere with the site’s working or security, or with anyone else’s use of it.

6. Data and what belongs to whom

Forecast and observation data come from third parties under their own licenses (see Sources). The site, its software, scores and design are Hindcast’s. Data you export from your account is yours to use.

7. Availability

We work to keep Hindcast running and correct, but it is provided as it is, and it may sometimes be unavailable, change or have mistakes. Write to us about any you find.

8. Ending

You can stop using Hindcast and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, after telling you why where we reasonably can. If we ever close Hindcast, we will tell everyone with Pro by email at least 30 days before.

9. Liability

To the extent the law allows, Hindcast is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including losses from decisions made on a forecast, and its total liability to you is limited to what you paid in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law, or your statutory rights as a consumer.

10. Changes to these terms

If these terms change, the new version appears here with its date. If a change matters to people with Pro, we email them at least 30 days before it applies.
