Terms of Service

Last updated May 2026

wxtxt delivers marine weather forecast SMS messages sourced from Environment and Climate Change Canada. By using the service you agree to these terms.

No guarantee of delivery

SMS delivery depends on your carrier and cellular coverage. We cannot guarantee that messages will reach you at all, or that they will reach you in time to be useful. Do not rely on wxtxt as your sole source of safety information on the water.

No guarantee of accuracy

Forecasts are sourced as-is from Environment and Climate Change Canada and are not verified or modified by us. We make no representations about their accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any purpose. Marine conditions can change rapidly and without warning.

Not a safety service

wxtxt is a convenience service. It is not a substitute for proper passage planning, monitoring VHF weather channels, or exercising your own judgement on the water. Always check current conditions from multiple sources before heading out.

Service availability

We do our best to keep the service running but do not guarantee uptime or uninterrupted delivery. The service may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time.

Your responsibility

By enabling your feed, you acknowledge that you understand and accept these limitations. You are responsible for your own safety and the safety of those aboard your vessel.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
