Terms of Service

1. The Service

SeaLog is a digital dive logbook: it records dives you enter or import, stores marine life sightings, certifications, insurance details, photos and related content, syncs them to your account, and offers optional social features. The Service is provided for personal, non-commercial use.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. You are responsible for your account: for the accuracy of what you store in it, for keeping access to your Apple or Google sign-in secure, and for everything that happens under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.

3. SeaLog is not a dive safety device

Scuba diving, freediving and snorkeling are inherently dangerous activities that can result in serious injury or death. SeaLog is a logbook, not a dive computer, dive planner, decompression tool or safety instrument of any kind.

• Nothing in the Service, including depth profiles, gas data, surface-interval or no-fly information, dive-site data, statistics or any other output, may be relied upon to plan or conduct a dive, to make decompression, ascent, gas or flying-after-diving decisions, or for any safety purpose whatsoever.
• Always use a certified dive computer or dive tables, proper training, professional supervision where appropriate, and your certification agency's standards. Data imported or displayed by SeaLog may be incomplete, delayed, corrupted or wrong.
• Dive-site information, conditions, visibility and marine life data are community and third-party sourced, provided for general interest only, and may be inaccurate or out of date.
• You assume all risks arising from your diving activities. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any injury, death, loss or damage connected to diving decisions made with or around the Service.

4. Subscriptions and purchases

Parts of the Service require a paid subscription. Payment is processed by Apple through your App Store account; prices are shown before purchase and may vary by country. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and are managed and cancelled in your App Store settings. Refunds are handled by Apple under Apple's policies; we do not process payments and cannot issue refunds directly. We may change subscription pricing or what the free tier includes; changes apply from your next renewal and never retroactively remove data you created.

5. Your content

You keep ownership of everything you put into SeaLog: dives, notes, photos, videos, certifications and profile content (“Your Content”). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, reproduce, display and transmit Your Content solely to operate, back up, improve and provide the Service, including showing it to people you choose to share it with. This license ends when the content or your account is deleted, except for residual backup copies that expire on their own schedule.

You are solely responsible for Your Content: that you have the rights to upload it, that it is lawful, and that it does not infringe anyone's privacy, intellectual property or other rights. We have no obligation to store, back up or return Your Content, and we strongly recommend using the built-in export (UDDF, CSV, PDF) regularly: your export is your backup.

6. Social features and public sharing

SeaLog includes optional social features: public profiles, shared dives and photos, buddy tags, likes, and public web pages on sealog.life. Your logbook is private by default; if you make your profile or content public, it becomes visible to anyone, may be indexed by search engines, and may be copied by third parties before you make it private again. You share at your own risk and are solely responsible for what you publish, including photos of other people and buddy tags: obtain their consent first.

We do not pre-screen user content and have no obligation to monitor it, but we may remove any content or restrict any account at our sole discretion, with or without notice, if we believe these terms or the law are violated. Content posted by other users is theirs, not ours: we are not responsible for it and do not endorse it.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Service unlawfully, or upload content that is illegal, infringing, deceptive, harassing, hateful or sexually explicit;
• impersonate any person, misrepresent dive experience or certifications, or falsify logbook records presented to third parties;
• probe, scan, or exploit any vulnerability of the Service, bypass authentication or rate limits, or access data of other users;
• scrape, harvest, bulk-download or resell any part of the Service or its databases (including dive-site and species data);
• reverse engineer, decompile or create derivative works of the app except where the law expressly permits it;
• interfere with the operation of the Service, or use it to develop a competing dataset or service.

We may investigate violations and suspend or terminate accounts involved in them.

8. Privacy and security

How we handle personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms. We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the Service. No system is perfectly secure: to the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for unauthorized access, interception, alteration or loss of data resulting from events beyond our reasonable control, including attacks by third parties, and you acknowledge that you provide data to any online service at your own risk. This does not limit our obligations under applicable data protection law.

9. Third-party services and links

The Service interoperates with third parties we do not control: Apple (sign-in, purchases, Health, Wallet), Google, dive computer manufacturers and their export formats, and links to external sites including retailers such as Amazon (some links may be affiliate links). We are not responsible for third-party products, services, prices, availability or content, and a link is not an endorsement. Your use of third-party services is governed by their terms.

10. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, brand, species catalog curation, dive-site database compilation and all content we created, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by law. These terms grant you a personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app on Apple devices you own or control, and no other rights.

11. Availability, changes and support

We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free or available in any location, that defects will be corrected, or that any feature will be maintained. We may add, change, limit or remove features (including storage limits and what the free tier includes), or suspend or discontinue the Service in whole or in part at any time. Where the law requires it, we will give reasonable notice of material changes so you can export Your Content. We provide support on a reasonable-efforts basis only, with no guaranteed response time.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement and uninterrupted availability. No advice or information obtained from us or the Service creates any warranty.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law: (a) we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data or dive records, however caused and under any theory of liability; (b) our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and 50 euro. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded by law, including for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or your statutory consumer rights: those rights remain unaffected.

14. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend and hold us harmless from claims, damages and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising from Your Content, your use of the Service in breach of these terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

15. Termination

You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time via our account deletion page. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you materially breach these terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service; where reasonably possible we will give you the chance to export Your Content first. Sections that by their nature survive termination (including 3, 5, and 12 through 17) do so.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms; the date at the top reflects the latest version. For material changes we will give notice in the app or on this site. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept them; if you do not, stop using the Service and delete your account.

17. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland, and disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the Irish courts, except that if you are a consumer in the EU or elsewhere you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws, and access to the courts, of your country of residence.

18. App Store terms

The app is distributed through the Apple App Store. Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support and is not responsible for the app, for any claims relating to it, or for third-party intellectual property claims. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you. You represent that you are not located in an embargoed country and are not on any restricted-parties list. Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies to the extent these terms do not cover a topic.
