These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Trovia Technologies Inc. (“Trovia”, “we”, “us”, “our”), a British Columbia corporation, and govern your access to and use of My Boat Notes, including the My Boat Notes mobile applications, the website, and the features and services made available through them (collectively, the “Service”).

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and store personal information, and forms part of these Terms. Section 4 below and Section 3 of the Privacy Policy describe how we use your content to improve the Service. Please read both.

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher, to use the Service. The Service is not directed to children.

You must provide accurate account information and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at hello@myboatnotes.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

We do not verify vessel ownership. Nothing in the Service confirms that you own or are entitled to operate any vessel you record.

If you use the Service on behalf of a business — a charter operator, marina, brokerage, or fleet owner — you represent that you have authority to bind that business to these Terms, and “you” means both you and that business.

We offer a free tier with limited features and usage. Access to the free tier is provided in exchange for, among other things, the rights you grant us in Section 4 to use your content to improve the accuracy of the Service and to produce aggregate insights. Those rights cannot be disabled on the free tier. We explain them and ask you to agree before you start using the Service, separately from your acceptance of these Terms.

We may change, limit, suspend, or discontinue the free tier, or any part of it, at any time.

Paid subscriptions are billed at the price and interval shown at the point of purchase.

Price changes. We may change subscription prices. Changes take effect at your next renewal, and we will give you notice with an opportunity to cancel first.

We may apply fair-use limits on storage, uploads, and AI requests on any tier, and will describe current limits in the app.

The Service is provided without any service level, uptime guarantee, or support commitment, and we may modify, limit, or withdraw features at any time.

You agree not to:

We may, but are not obliged to, monitor, review, screen, or remove content submitted to the Service, and you consent to that monitoring. We may disclose information where we reasonably believe it necessary to comply with law, enforce these Terms, or protect the Service, our users, or third parties.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section.

You retain all ownership of the vessel information, records, documents, photographs, notes, and other material you submit (“Your Content”). Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership to us.

You grant Trovia a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable licence to host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, index, analyze, and otherwise process Your Content in order to:

Free tier: you cannot disable the uses in clauses 2 and 3. Agreeing to them is a condition of free access, and we explain them and ask you to agree before you start using the Service.

Paid tiers: you may stop Your Content contributing to the uses in clauses 2 and 3 at any time in Settings → Privacy → Help Improve My Boat Notes, effective going forward.

See the Privacy Policy for details.

You represent that you have all rights necessary to submit Your Content and to grant this licence, including in respect of third-party materials and of any other person's information you upload — crew, guests, purchasers, or service providers.

You are responsible for keeping your own copies of Your Content. We are not obliged to store or return it.

If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us an unrestricted, perpetual right to use it without obligation or compensation to you.

We handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Canadian and US privacy law. By using the Service you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in the Privacy Policy, including its use to operate the Service, to measure accuracy, and to produce aggregate insights.

The Service may collect location information from your device and from your vessel records. You can control location permissions through your device settings, and some features may not work if you turn them off.

Your content is stored in Canada. AI processing may occur outside Canada, including in the United States, and may be subject to the laws of the country where it occurs. See Section 7 of the Privacy Policy.

If you upload information about another person, you confirm that you have the authority to do so and have given that person any notice required by law.

We do not show third-party advertising in the Service, do not use your personal information for advertising, and do not track you across other companies' apps or websites. We do not accept payment to influence the maintenance guidance, diagnostics, or recommendations the Service generates, and we have no affiliate, referral, or commission arrangements with parts suppliers or service providers. If that changes, we will disclose it clearly in the app before it takes effect.

We respect intellectual property rights and expect our users to do the same. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright or other rights, contact us at hello@myboatnotes.com with a description of the work, the location of the content, and your contact information. We may remove or disable access to content we believe to be infringing, and we may suspend or terminate accounts of users who repeatedly infringe.

The Service uses AI models to generate maintenance guidance, diagnostics, summaries, and recommendations based on your inputs and on general marine knowledge.

My Boat Notes is not a navigational aid and does not provide weather, tide, charting, or emergency information. In an emergency, contact the Coast Guard or other emergency services.

You are solely responsible for the operation, maintenance, seaworthiness, and safety of your vessel. In particular:

We do not warrant the accuracy of AI output, and we are not liable for decisions made or actions taken in reliance on it.

The Service, including the software, models, user interface, and the My Boat Notes and Trovia trademarks, is owned by us and our licensors and protected by intellectual property law. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service in accordance with these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

The Service relies on third-party providers, including Amazon Web Services for hosting and AI model processing, Anthropic PBC for the underlying foundation models, and analytics providers. It may also link to or interoperate with third-party content, parts suppliers, or services. We are not responsible for third-party services or content, and your use of them is governed by their own terms.

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. Cancelling a paid subscription takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, if we reasonably believe your use poses a risk to us, our users, or third parties, or if we discontinue the Service. If we terminate without cause, we will refund any prepaid fees for the unused portion of your term.

We have no obligation to retain Your Content after termination and may delete it, subject to our retention and backup schedule and to any legal hold.

Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16 survive termination.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any statutory warranties or conditions that cannot be excluded are limited in duration and remedy to the minimum permitted by law. We are not responsible for ensuring that Your Content is compatible with the Service, or for unauthorized third-party access to it.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation.

You will indemnify and hold harmless Trovia and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claim, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of Your Content, your breach of these Terms, your violation of law or third-party rights, or your reliance on AI output. We will notify you of any such claim and may, at your expense, assume the defence and control of it. You will not settle any claim without our prior written consent.

We may update these Terms. We will post the updated version, revise the effective date, and keep the previous version available.

For material changes we will give notice in the app or by email at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use after that date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, you may delete your account before the changes take effect, at no cost or penalty.

Where a change materially expands how we use Your Content under Section 4, we will ask for your consent rather than rely on continued use.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The courts of British Columbia have exclusive jurisdiction, and you and we consent to venue in Vancouver, British Columbia. Nothing in this section deprives a consumer of the protection of mandatory law in their place of residence.

You agree to bring any claim relating to these Terms or the Service within one year after it arises.

Before filing a claim, please contact us at hello@myboatnotes.com so we can try to resolve the matter informally.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Neither party is liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control.

We may give you notices through the Service, by email to the address on your account, or by posting them on our website, and you consent to receiving notices and other records electronically.

You are responsible for complying with export control and sanctions laws, and you confirm that you are not located in, or ordinarily resident in, a country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

It is the express wish of the parties that these Terms and all related documents be drawn up in English.

These terms apply to the iOS version of the Service and, where they conflict with the rest of these Terms, control as to Apple:
