Terms of use
Terms for using BiteForecast
BiteForecast is a practical information tool for planning around Scottish midge conditions. These terms are meant to be readable: use the site responsibly, understand what it is for, and do not treat it as a guaranteed field forecast or professional advice.
Last updated: 17 April 2026
What the site is
BiteForecast provides planning guides, location pattern summaries, and a weather-backed calculator intended to help with trip timing and kit decisions.
It is an informational utility, not a promise that real-world conditions will match the site output.
No guarantee of conditions
Weather, terrain, shelter, humidity, time of day, and local variation can change quickly. Even when live data is available, BiteForecast should be treated as guidance rather than a guarantee.
You remain responsible for your own travel, safety, comfort, health decisions, and equipment choices.
Acceptable use
You may use BiteForecast for personal trip planning, research, and general information. Do not misuse the site, interfere with its operation, scrape it abusively, or use it in a way that creates security or availability problems.
Do not represent BiteForecast outputs as guaranteed official forecasts or attribute statements to the site that it does not make.
Third-party services and links
BiteForecast depends on third-party services such as hosting, weather data, advertising systems, and affiliate partners. Those services may change, fail, or behave differently from what BiteForecast expects.
Links to retailers, ad networks, or external resources are provided for convenience. BiteForecast is not responsible for the content, availability, pricing, or conduct of those third-party services.
Affiliate and advertising disclosures
BiteForecast may show advertising and may use affiliate links. That means the site operator may receive revenue if you view ads or buy through a qualifying referral link.
That commercial relationship does not turn product mentions into safety guarantees, expert certification, or a promise that a given item is right for your situation.
Changes and availability
BiteForecast may change pages, methods, routes, recommendations, legal pages, or available features without notice. Parts of the site may also be unavailable temporarily for maintenance, data-source issues, or infrastructure problems.
