No warranty
Data is provided “as is”, may be delayed, and is sometimes shown as a clearly labelled sample or modeled estimate where a live reading isn't available. We make no warranty as to its accuracy, completeness or fitness for any particular purpose, and accept no liability for decisions made based on it.
