Terms of Service

Effective date: June 13, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Magellan Yacht Systems software application (the "App") and the services made available at magellanworks.com (collectively, the "Service"), operated by Robert Risher ("we", "us", or "our").

By installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Subscriptions and Billing

The Service is sold on a subscription basis through Stripe, our payment processor. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges at the billing frequency you select (monthly or annual) until you cancel.

2. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and your active subscription, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on up to 2 Macs simultaneously, for use by you and/or your authorized crew in operating the vessels for which the subscription is purchased.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

4. Demo Mode

The App includes a free demo mode that uses sample data only and does not sync to our servers. Demo mode is provided "as is" for evaluation purposes only. Data entered in demo mode is not preserved between sessions and cannot be migrated to a paid subscription.

5. Your Data

You retain all rights to data you enter into the Service ("Your Data"). We store Your Data on third-party cloud infrastructure (Supabase) on your behalf solely to provide the Service. We do not sell Your Data, share it with advertisers, or use it to train AI models. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

You can export Your Data from the App at any time. Upon cancellation, Your Data remains available for export for 90 days, after which it may be deleted.

6. Availability and Maintenance

We aim for high availability but make no guarantees. The Service may be unavailable due to maintenance, third-party outages (e.g., Stripe, Supabase, Apple), or other factors. The App works offline for most functions with a 7-day grace period before license re-validation is required.

7. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, uninterrupted, or meet your specific requirements.

Maritime Safety: The Service is a record-keeping and planning tool and is not a substitute for proper seamanship, official charts, licensed routing, or compliance with applicable maritime law. You remain solely responsible for the safe operation of your vessel(s).

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from or related to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, data loss, or business interruption.

9. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time by canceling your subscription. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, fail to pay, or for other reasons with reasonable notice.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms occasionally. Material changes will be announced via email and on this page. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. Any disputes shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
