By using ClimateObservatory.org, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

2. What we provide

We publish charts, maps, and explanatory pages based largely on third-party open or official datasets (e.g. NASA, NOAA, ECAD). We aim for accuracy and clear sourcing, but we do not guarantee completeness, timeliness, or fitness for any particular purpose. Data and methodology can change at upstream providers without notice.

3. Not professional advice

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Attempt to disrupt, overload, or break the site or its infrastructure.
  • Use automated scraping in a way that degrades service for others (reasonable indexing by search engines is expected).
  • Misrepresent the site, its data, or its operators.

5. Intellectual property

The site’s design, text we author, and compiled presentations may be protected by copyright. Underlying datasets remain subject to their respective licensors’ terms. Respect those licenses when redistributing data.

6. Third-party services

We may embed maps, scripts, or ads from third parties (including Google AdSense). Their use is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

The site is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ClimateObservatory.org and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or data, arising from your use of the site.
