- You are responsible for valid fishing licenses, regulations and quotas in your jurisdiction
- The core app is free. BiteWave PRO is a paid subscription — see section 5 for price, renewal and cancellation
- Provided “as is”, without warranty
1. Service nature
BiteWave is an AI-driven fishing assistant giving day-specific suggestions for the best
fishing moment, location, and lure. The service combines real-time data (weather, water temperature,
depth contours, satellite imagery) with peer-reviewed fish biology research.
The service does not guarantee catches. Fishing success depends on many factors including
skill, equipment, conditions, fish density, and luck.
2. Liability limitation
Trolling routes and fishing spots are data-driven suggestions — do not blindly follow the line. The
map may have outdated bathymetry data, you may run aground on a sandbar, or weather may have changed.
BiteWave's operator is not liable for damages caused by:
- Boat/equipment damage following routes (grounding, propeller damage)
- Injuries (cuts, weather, hypothermia)
- Catches not made or lost catches
- Service interruptions, data inaccuracies
3. Boating + water safety
- Always carry life jackets
- Check the weather forecast and wind direction yourself
- Trust the map only as an aid — your eyes (sandbars, rocks, vegetation) are primary
- Don't fish alone in difficult conditions, inform someone of your plans
- The app's trolling routes are based on lake depth data, but local conditions can change
4. User obligations
- Get a valid fishing license — local laws apply (state/provincial, country-specific)
- Comply with minimum sizes, closed seasons, and quotas
- Spawn-season warnings are advisory — ultimate responsibility is yours
- Don't release fish weakened by handling — handle in water, <30s air exposure
5. BiteWave PRO — price, subscription and cancellation
The core features of the app are free. BiteWave PRO is a paid
subscription that unlocks the extended features.
- Price: €39.99 per year or €5.99 per month, VAT included.
- Renewal: the subscription renews automatically at the end
of each billing period until you cancel. The same payment method is charged.
- Cancellation: cancel any time via the customer portal link in your
purchase receipt email. Cancelling stops future charges; access continues to the end
of the period you already paid for.
- Right of withdrawal: consumers in the EU generally have a
14-day right of withdrawal for distance contracts. Withdrawal notices
and refund requests go to the payment provider (below).
- Licence: your purchase gives you a licence key that you activate on the
PRO page. The key is personal and
must not be shared.
Seller: payments are handled by Lemon Squeezy, acting as
merchant of record — meaning they are your contracting party and the seller of
record for tax purposes. Lemon Squeezy's own store and refund terms apply to the purchase,
and refunds are processed through them. For questions about the service itself, contact
juhohietanen84@gmail.com.
6. Intellectual property
The BiteWave service is the operator's intellectual property. Personal use is permitted.
Commercial use, copying or scraping requires written permission.
External data: weather data comes from Open-Meteo (CC-BY 4.0), depth contours from
Finland's National Land Survey (open data), Cloudflare Workers AI for the LLM coach.
7. Changes
We reserve the right to update these terms. Major changes will be notified in the app.
Continuing to use the service means accepting the updated terms.
8. Applicable law
Finnish law applies to the service. Disputes are settled in the District Court of Lahti.
For US/EU consumers their local consumer protection laws apply.
