Viti Pulse Disclaimer
Â
Last updated: September 2026
Â
1. General information
Viti Pulse is a vineyard decision-support platform operated by Viti Pulse Pty Ltd, trading as Viti Pulse ("Viti Pulse", "we", "us" or "our").
The platform provides vineyard-related information, calculations, forecasts and analytical tools to assist users in making informed vineyard management decisions.
Information provided through Viti Pulse is for general informational and decision-support purposes only. It does not constitute a guarantee of vineyard outcomes or a substitute for independent professional judgement.
Â
2. Weather information and forecasts
Weather observations and forecasts are obtained from external data providers and may be incomplete, delayed, estimated or inaccurate.
Actual weather conditions at a vineyard may differ from the information displayed in Viti Pulse because of local topography, canopy conditions, sensor placement and other microclimatic factors.
We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or availability of weather data or forecasts.
Â
3. Disease-risk assessments
Viti Pulse provides disease-risk assessments and forecasting tools for vineyard diseases, which may include powdery mildew, downy mildew and Botrytis.
These assessments are model-based estimates. They may use weather information, calculated variables, phenological information and other available inputs.
Disease development is affected by numerous factors, including inoculum levels, vineyard history, canopy structure, cultivar susceptibility, local weather and actual vineyard conditions.
A low or absent modelled risk does not establish that a vineyard is free from disease or that an infection cannot occur. A high modelled risk does not establish that infection has occurred.
Users should inspect their vineyards, consider local conditions and seek appropriate professional advice where necessary.
Â
4. GDD, BEDD and phenology calculations
Growing Degree Days (GDD), Biological Effective Degree Days (BEDD), phenology predictions and related calculations are estimates based on the selected model, temperature data, variety parameters and other inputs.
Actual vine development may differ from predicted development because of site conditions, cultivar characteristics, management practices and other environmental factors.
Users should verify predicted growth stages against actual observations in the vineyard.
Â
5. AI Adviser
Viti Pulse may provide AI-generated interpretations, explanations and recommendations based on available vineyard information.
AI-generated outputs can be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated or unsuitable for particular circumstances. They should be independently assessed before being relied upon.
The AI Adviser does not replace a qualified viticulturist, agronomist, plant pathologist or other appropriately qualified professional.
Users should not rely solely on AI-generated information when making decisions that could materially affect crop health, worker safety, regulatory compliance or financial outcomes.
Â
6. Chemical applications and regulatory compliance
Viti Pulse does not replace pesticide labels, statutory requirements, permits, withholding periods, maximum residue limits or other applicable chemical-use requirements.
Users are responsible for determining whether any proposed treatment is appropriate and lawful for their vineyard, crop, location and circumstances.
Always follow applicable product labels, permits, safety directions and regulatory requirements.
Â
7. Irrigation and vineyard management
Any irrigation, soil-water, nutrition or vineyard-management information supplied by Viti Pulse is intended to support decision-making, not to prescribe a guaranteed course of action.
Users should consider actual soil moisture, soil characteristics, vine condition, water quality, irrigation-system performance and other relevant factors before acting.
Â
8. Third-party services
Viti Pulse may rely on external weather services, hosting providers, payment processors and other third-party services. Their availability, data and functionality may change independently of Viti Pulse.
Â
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Viti Pulse excludes liability for loss arising from reliance on information, calculations, forecasts or AI-generated outputs where that exclusion is legally effective.
Nothing in this disclaimer excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable legislation.
