Terms of Service

Introduction

Welcome to Uistin (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our website at uistin.com and all associated lure, fly, and tackle calculators, guides, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of them, please don’t use the Service.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using Uistin, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. We may update these Terms from time to time; continued use after a change means you accept the current version.

Educational Estimates, Not a Guarantee

Everything on Uistin is offered for general education and information about lures, flies, bait, and tackle. Our calculators apply widely used angling conventions and simple formulas to the values you enter, and they return practical starting points — a lure weight, a jig-head size, a hook range, a colour, a retrieve speed, a bait quantity. They are not promises of a catch. Fishing outcomes depend on forage, water conditions, pressure, skill, and plain luck, none of which a calculator can know. Treat every result as a suggestion to refine on the water, not a rule.

Description of Service

Uistin provides free, practical tools and educational resources, including:

• Lure Weight Selector
• Jig Head Weight Calculator
• Fly-Tying Hook Size Guide
• Lure Color Selector and Retrieve Speed Advisor
• Bait Quantity Planner
• Educational articles, guides, and a reference museum

All tools are provided free of charge. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.

Your Responsibilities

Appropriate Use

When you use our tools and site, you agree to:

• Use the tools in good faith for your own fishing and tackle-craft planning
• Enter accurate information when using the calculators
• Not attempt to disrupt or compromise how the site works
• Not use automated systems to access the tools excessively
• Respect intellectual property rights
• Not use the tools for any unlawful or unauthorised purpose

Fish Legally and Safely

You are responsible for fishing within the law and for your own safety on the water. Nothing on Uistin replaces your local fishing regulations, licence requirements, size and bag limits, bait restrictions, or common-sense safety practice. Check the rules for your water and species with the relevant fisheries authority before you fish, and always put safety first.

Tool Accuracy and Disclaimers

Calculation Accuracy

Our calculators are for informational and educational purposes only. While we aim for sensible, well-reasoned figures, we can’t guarantee that every result fits your exact situation. Results are estimates based on standard angling conventions and the values you enter; real conditions vary.

No Guarantee of Results

Uistin makes no warranties, express or implied, and disclaims all other warranties including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
