Please read them carefully before using our services. If you have any questions or are not sure you have understood something, please contact us.
Since our terms and conditions are very extensive, we have created a table of contents for you:

This text shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Germany. It shall be executed in both the German and the English language. In the event of any inconsistency between the German and the English version the German version shall prevail.
Scope, services, user group
Our general terms and conditions apply to all services offered by Windfinder (services, products, etc.). They primarily deal with the use of data that we provide to users. This data can be accessed via free services such as the website www.windfinder.com and the Windfinder App, as well as via paid services such as the ad-free Windfinder Pro App. A claim for authorization for our services does not exist.
Our general terms and conditions apply exclusively and in the version valid at the time of the use of our services; we do not recognize conflicting or deviating terms and conditions of the user of our services, unless we have expressly agreed to their validity in writing. Our General Terms and Conditions shall apply even if we perform the service without reservation in the knowledge of contradictory or deviating terms and conditions of the user.
Our services are aimed equally at consumers and contractors, but only at end users (see point 1.5). For the purposes of these terms and conditions, a consumer is any natural person who concludes the contract for a purpose to which neither their commercial nor their independent professional activity can be attributed (§ 13 BGB) and an contractor is a natural or legal person or a legal non-incorporated company for whom the conclusion of the contract is the exercise of its commercial or independent professional activity (§ 14 [1] BGB).
Our terms and conditions apply to both consumers and contractors, unless differentiated in the respective clause. .
Language, offers, prices, payment, offsetting, changes
The contracts with the user are made exclusively in German, regardless of whether the user uses our German or other language services.
The essential characteristics of the services offered by us as well as the period of validity of fixed-term offers can be found in the individual product descriptions within our offers.
The presentation of our services is not a binding offer on our part.
The prices quoted by us are final prices including taxes and shipping (if required) within the Federal Republic of Germany. The user is not entitled to repayment of amounts paid due to non-use of the ordered services.
Payment methods accepted by us are listed as part of the order process of the respective service.
If, for example, charges cannot be collected for lack of coverage of the account details provided by the user, the user must bear the resulting damage.
The user is only entitled to set-off rights if his counterclaims have been legally established, are undisputed or are acknowledged by us. If the user is an contractor, he is only entitled to exercise a right of retention if his counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.
In the case of continuing obligations, price changes become effective with a notice period of six weeks after notification by us. In the event of price changes to the detriment of the user, the customer is entitled to an extraordinary right of termination within 30 days of becoming aware of the change with effect as of the entry of the price change.
Any rights of withdrawal are listed in the specific parts of these terms and conditions.
We point out in general that, on the part of the offerers of Internet services, portable radio services, etc. via which the user accesses our services, further conditions of use or general terms apply, and charges can accrue for this.

We are not liable for any damage resulting from any decisions or actions by the user based on an interpretation of the information we provide.

In the case of infringements of property rights, we may – without prejudice to any claims for damages of the user – at our own discretion and at our own expense, regarding the service concerned,
a) make changes with the user, for example by means of updates, which, while safeguarding their interests, ensure that an infringement of property rights no longer exists or
b) acquire the necessary usage rights for the user.
If the user is a consumer, we are liable in the event of a defect according to the statutory provisions, insofar as the following produce no restrictions. The consumer must report obvious defects to us in writing within two weeks of the occurrence of the defect. If the notification is not received within the aforementioned period, the warranty rights expire. This does not apply if we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the condition of the item.

This period does not apply as far as claims for damages due to defects are concerned. For claims for damages due to a defect, section 2.7 applies.

In this respect, we are liable for every degree of fault.
Insofar as liability for damages that are not based on injury to the life, body and health of the user is not excluded for slight negligence, such claims become time-barred within one year beginning with the creation of the claim or in case of claims for damages due to a defect from the use of the service or from the delivery of the item.
In the case of slight negligence, the liability shall be limited in sum to the amount of the foreseeable damage which typically has to be expected; however, this liability is limited to EUR 20,000 per claim and a total of EUR 35,000 from the contractual relationship.
We are not liable for the loss of data and/or programs insofar as the damage is due to the fact that the user has failed to perform backups and thereby ensure that lost data can be restored at a reasonable cost.
