Terms of Use

Effective 2026-11-11 · Questions: support@meteofrontier.ca

Plain-language draft, not yet reviewed by a lawyer.

Aviation weather disclaimer: read this first

• MeteoFrontier is guidance only. It is not an official weather product. It is not produced, reviewed or endorsed by NAV CANADA, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), Transport Canada or any other authority, and it is not an issued TAF, GFA, SIGMET, AIRMET or forecast of record.
• Much of it is experimental and automated. Forecasts, TAF drafts, GFA-style charts, alerts, decoded text, satellite and fog products are generated by computer models, statistics and machine learning (AI), often with no human checking them. They can be wrong, late, incomplete or missing, sometimes badly, and without warning. Observations shown here are copies and can be delayed, out of date or decoded wrongly.
• The pilot in command is responsible. Before and during every flight, get your weather from official sources: METARs, TAFs, GFAs, SIGMETs, AIRMETs, PIREPs and NOTAMs through NAV CANADA (for example the Aviation Weather Web Site, CFPS or a flight information centre), and follow the Canadian Aviation Regulations. Never use MeteoFrontier as your only or main source, or to decide whether a flight is legal or safe.
• No reliance for operations. Dispatchers, operators and forecasters must use the official products and their own approved procedures. TAFbuilder output is a draft for a qualified forecaster to check, not a TAF.

1. Agreeing to these terms

These terms apply to the website meteofrontier.ca, its member accounts and the Frontier Android app (together, "MeteoFrontier"). By using MeteoFrontier you agree to them and to the aviation weather disclaimer above. If you don't agree, don't use it. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information.

2. The service

MeteoFrontier is a small, independent Canadian service run from Alberta. We may add, change, limit or remove features at any time, including turning features on or off for some users, and the service may be unavailable for maintenance, outages or data-source problems. Free features have no guaranteed availability.

3. Accounts and security

• You must be at least 13 to create an account, and give a real email address you control.
• One person per account. Don't share your account or sign-in details, and don't let others use your session. Each person who wants access needs their own account.
• Keep your password secret and unique. We strongly recommend two-step sign-in or a passkey. Only mark devices as trusted if they are yours.
• You are responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us right away at support@meteofrontier.ca if you think someone else has used it.
• We may require extra verification, end sessions or lock an account to protect it or the service.

4. Acceptable use

You may use MeteoFrontier for your own flying, work and learning. You must not:

• Scrape or bulk-download beyond fair, personal use: no automated harvesting of pages, images, map frames or data files, no mirroring the site, and no reselling or republishing our data. Light, polite automated access for personal use is fine; ask us first for anything more.
• Overload, probe or attack the service, get around rate limits or access controls, or test its security without our written permission (security reports to support@meteofrontier.ca are welcome).
• Use another person's account, or create accounts to get around a suspension.
• Present MeteoFrontier output as an official forecast, or as coming from NAV CANADA or ECCC.
• Use the service to break the law, send spam or malware, or harm others.

5. Chat and forum conduct

When chat or the forum is open to you:

• Be respectful. No harassment, threats, hate, personal attacks, sexual content, or sharing other people's personal information.
• No spam, advertising or self-promotion without permission, and no impersonation.
• Only post what you have the right to share. Don't post copyrighted material, confidential operator information or security-sensitive information.
• Weather discussion is not a briefing. Don't give or ask for go / no-go decisions as if they were official.
• Follow the forum's own rules and moderators' instructions. Moderators may edit, hide or remove posts, issue warnings, mute or ban users, and we may keep moderation records.

6. Your content

You keep ownership of what you post or upload. You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, display, copy and process it to run MeteoFrontier (for example to show your forum post to other members). You are responsible for your content and confirm you have the right to post it. We may remove content that breaks these terms or the law.

7. TAFbuilder and paid plans

TAFbuilder is currently available only to MeteoFrontier administrators. We plan to offer it, and possibly other tools, as a paid product later. Weather data and our other tools are intended to stay free.

Before we charge for anything, we will publish the price, billing period, renewal, cancellation and refund terms, and update these terms. Payments will be processed by Stripe. Nothing is charged until you subscribe yourself. Paid plans do not change the aviation weather disclaimer: TAFbuilder output is always a draft for a qualified person to check.

8. Our content and data sources

MeteoFrontier's design, code, text, forecasts and graphics belong to us or our licensors. Much of the underlying data comes from public sources such as ECCC, NAV CANADA, NOAA and other national weather services and open-data providers, each under its own terms; some sources limit use to non-commercial purposes. Those terms apply to that data, and we don't grant rights we don't have. Don't remove notices or disclaimers from anything you share.

9. The Frontier app

The Android app is in testing. Test builds may have bugs, may stop working and should be removed before installing a final release. You may use the app only with your own account. Notifications can be delayed or lost, so never rely on an app alert for flight safety.

10. No warranty

MeteoFrontier is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no promises or warranties, express or implied, about its accuracy, timeliness, completeness, reliability, availability or fitness for any purpose, including aviation.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows:

• We are not liable for any loss, damage, injury, death, aircraft damage, fines, enforcement action or costs arising from your use of, or reliance on, MeteoFrontier or its forecasts, observations, alerts or other information, or from its being unavailable, late or wrong.
• We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill.
• Our total liability for any claim relating to MeteoFrontier is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or CAD $50.

Some laws don't allow certain limits, so some of these may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

12. Indemnity

If you break these terms or the law, or misuse MeteoFrontier, and that leads to a claim against us, you agree to cover our reasonable losses and costs from that claim.

13. Suspension and termination

You can stop using MeteoFrontier and delete your account at any time from your account page. We may suspend or close an account, remove content, or block access, with or without notice, if you break these terms, if it's needed to protect the service or other users, if the law requires it, or if we stop offering a feature or the service. Sections that by their nature should continue (including the disclaimer, your content licence for content that remains, no warranty, limitation of liability, indemnity and governing law) continue after termination.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. You agree that the courts of Alberta have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, unless the consumer protection law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim locally. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a term is not a waiver of it.

15. Changes and contact

We may update these terms. We will change the effective date at the top and, for significant changes, post a notice on the site or email account holders before they take effect. Continuing to use MeteoFrontier after a change means you accept it.
