- We / Us: Myelin Labs
2. Applicability
By using the Service, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with these terms, do not use the Service.
3. Description of the Service
VisScanner is an informational web application that combines data from public sources (Rijkswaterstaat, KNMI/Open-Meteo, GBIF, PDOK, and others) with machine learning models to provide fishing information and predictions for Dutch waterways.
4. Account
Certain features require an account. You can sign in via Google or Microsoft. You are responsible for the security of your account. Each person may create a maximum of one account.
5. Subscriptions and payment
The Service offers three tiers:
- Free — no charge, limited access

Paid subscriptions are processed via Stripe. Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel through your account settings. Upon cancellation, you retain access until the end of the current billing period.
We reserve the right to change prices and features per tier. You will be notified in advance of any price increases.
6. Acceptable use
You may not use the Service to:
- Systematically scrape or harvest data
- Disrupt or overload the operation of the Service
- Circumvent security measures
- Resell the Service for commercial purposes without our permission
- Engage in activities that violate applicable laws and regulations
We may restrict or terminate your access if you violate these terms.
7. Data sources and accuracy
The Service uses data from external public sources and generates predictions using machine learning models. We strive for accuracy but cannot guarantee that all information is complete, up-to-date, or error-free.
The Service provides informational content and is not a substitute for professional fishing advice. Predictions and recommendations are estimates based on available data. Always comply with applicable fishing laws and regulations.
Fishing rights and permits
The Service displays fishing locations, species, and predictions, but does not provide information about fishing rights or permits. The fact that a location appears on the map does not mean you are permitted to fish there. As an angler, you are solely responsible for verifying in advance whether you are allowed to fish at a particular water with your permit (VISpas, written permission, or other licence). Always check Visplanner.nl or contact the local angling association. We are not liable for fines, damages, or other consequences resulting from fishing without a valid permit or at waters where fishing is not permitted.
Fishing regulations and protected species
The Service displays information about protected species, closed seasons (catch & release obligations), lure bans, and minimum sizes. This information is based on the Dutch Uitvoeringsregeling visserij and other public sources, but may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate. Legislation may change and additional local or regional rules may apply.
As an angler, you are solely responsible for verifying the current regulations before fishing. Always consult official sources such as wetten.overheid.nl or Sportvisserij Nederland. We are not liable for fines, damages, or other consequences resulting from acting on regulatory information displayed on the Service.
8. Intellectual property
All intellectual property rights in the Service (software, design, models, text) belong to Myelin Labs or the relevant licensors. The underlying data sources (Rijkswaterstaat, GBIF, etc.) are subject to their own licences.
Fish species images on the Service are owned by Myelin Labs or sourced from Wikimedia Commons under the applicable licence (such as CC BY-SA). Images owned by Myelin Labs may not be copied, reused, distributed, or otherwise used without prior written permission. Images sourced from Wikimedia Commons are subject to their original licence terms.
You may use the Service for personal, non-commercial use.
9. Liability
The Service is provided "as is". To the extent permitted by law:
- We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
- We are not liable for decisions you make based on information from the Service
- Our total liability is limited to the amount you have paid us in the preceding 12 months
This limitation does not apply to damage resulting from intent or gross negligence.
10. Availability
We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted operation. The Service may be temporarily unavailable for maintenance or due to circumstances beyond our control.
11. Termination
You may delete your account at any time by contacting us. We may suspend or delete your account if you violate these terms. After termination, your data will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
12. Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top indicates the last change. For material changes, we will notify you via the website. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
13. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by Dutch law. Disputes shall be submitted to the competent court in the Netherlands.
