5.3 Fishing, Boating, and Data-Accuracy Restrictions

The general acceptable-use rules in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 apply to all of our applications. In addition:

Boating safety (all apps). You are responsible for your own safety on the water, including monitoring weather independently, carrying required safety equipment, following USCG and state regulations, and using appropriate charts and electronics for navigation.
Catch data accuracy (all apps). Catch logs and program entries you record in our applications are your own records. Our applications do not validate them against state or federal regulations. You are responsible for complying with applicable size limits, bag limits, seasons, and licensing requirements in the waters where you fish, and for the truthfulness of any entries you submit to a partner program.
Not for navigation (Inshore). Inshore displays tide, weather, and location data sourced from NOAA and other public providers. This data is for informational and recreational use only. It is not navigational data, not a substitute for official charts (NOAA ENC, paper charts) or marine weather forecasts (NWS marine warnings, USCG broadcasts), and must not be relied on for vessel navigation, safety-of-life decisions, or emergency response.

6. User Content

6.1 Content Ownership and License

You retain ownership of all content you submit to our Services ("User Content"), including:

Photos, videos, and other media
Text, comments, and posts
Data entries and records
Profile information

By submitting User Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable license to:

Use, display, reproduce, and distribute your content within our Services
Modify and adapt your content for technical and operational purposes
Use anonymized and aggregated data for research, analytics, and service improvement
Share content in accordance with your privacy settings and applicable laws

In plain terms: this license exists so the Services can function at all - storing your content on our servers, syncing it across your devices, processing photos you upload (for example, compression and previews), and displaying your content back to you. It does not transfer ownership of your content to us, and we do not sell it. Where an app includes features that share your content beyond your own account (for example, submitting an entry to a partner program), that sharing happens only through the features you choose to use. For Inshore specifically, Section 6.4 describes how narrowly this license is used.

6.2 Content Standards and Responsibility

You represent and warrant that your User Content:

Is accurate and truthful to the best of your knowledge
Does not violate any laws, regulations, or third-party rights
Does not infringe on intellectual property rights
Does not contain harmful, malicious, or inappropriate material
Complies with our community guidelines and standards

6.3 Content Moderation

We reserve the right to:

Review, monitor, and moderate User Content
Remove content that violates these Terms or our policies
Suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly violate our standards
Cooperate with law enforcement regarding illegal content or activities

6.4 Catch and Location Data (Inshore)

Inshore is local-first by design. Catches, logs, spots, and photos you record are stored on your device and synced to our backend so they survive device loss and replicate across your devices. We do not publish your data, share your spots with other users, or sell your catch records. The license you grant us in Section 6.1 is the minimum needed to operate the sync, display your data back to you, and process the optional NOAA enrichment described in Section 9.4.

7. Privacy and Data Use

7.1 Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. Please review our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect your information. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

7.2 Data Usage Rights

By using our Services, you understand and agree that:

We may use anonymized, aggregated data for research and service improvement
Data may be shared with partners and clients in non-personally identifiable forms
Technical data may be used to enhance functionality and user experience
Certain features may require data sharing with third-party service providers

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information, but cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials.

9.1 Third-Party Integrations

Our Services may integrate with or link to third-party services, websites, or applications. These include categories of service providers such as cloud hosting, crash and error monitoring, app-framework telemetry, subscription management, payment processing, and email delivery. We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or terms of service. Our Privacy Policy lists the categories of service providers we engage and the data each category receives.

9.2 Co-Distributed Applications

Some of our Services may be developed or operated in partnership with other organizations. These co-distributed applications may have additional terms and policies that apply to their use. Where a co-distributed application is operated on behalf of a partner organization that runs an entry-based program (for example, the Release Over 20 program), the partner's program rules govern the program itself, including eligibility, entry requirements, and any awards, and by submitting an entry you authorize us to share it with that partner. These Terms continue to govern your use of the application itself.

9.3 Third-Party Content

Our Services may include content from third parties. We do not endorse or take responsibility for third-party content, and your use of such content is at your own risk.

9.4 NOAA and Public Data Sources

Tide, water, and weather data displayed in our Services is sourced from third-party public agencies including NOAA. This data is provided "as is." We do not warrant its accuracy or timeliness and are not responsible for outages or errors in upstream feeds.

Subscription Services. Some features of our Services (for example, certain "Pro" features within Inshore) require a paid subscription. Subscriptions are offered as monthly or annual plans at prices disclosed in the app at the point of purchase.

Free Trial. Where offered, the free trial period begins when you start your trial and ends after the disclosed number of days. You will not be charged during the trial. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your subscription will begin and your default payment method with Apple App Store or Google Play will be charged at the price disclosed at signup.

Auto-Renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current price for the same plan length, unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Renewals are billed by Apple App Store or Google Play.

Cancellation. You may cancel a subscription at any time through your Apple ID subscription settings (iOS) or Google Play subscription settings (Android). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain access to subscription features until then.

Refunds. Refund requests are handled by Apple App Store or Google Play under their respective policies. Technical Angler does not directly issue refunds for in-app purchases. We may assist by directing you to the platform's refund process or contacting the platform on your behalf in exceptional cases.

Price Changes. We may change subscription prices for future billing periods. We will notify you in advance through the app, by email, or via the App Store or Google Play's standard change-notice mechanism, and you will have the opportunity to cancel before the new price applies.

Promotional Pricing. Promotional or early-access pricing, if offered, will be disclosed in the app at the time of purchase and may renew at then-current standard pricing as disclosed at signup.

Restore Purchases. If you reinstall the app or sign in on a new device, tap "Restore Purchases" on the paywall or in Settings to re-link your existing subscription. Restoration uses the Apple or Google account that originally purchased the subscription.

16.1 App Store and Google Play End-User License Terms

App Store (iOS). If you obtained our app through the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Technical Angler, LLC, not between you and Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or for any claims related to it (including product liability, legal compliance, or intellectual property infringement). Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you. In the event of any failure of the app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any); Apple has no other warranty obligation. Maintenance, support, and the addressing of claims related to the app are Technical Angler's responsibility, not Apple's.

Google Play (Android). If you obtained our app through Google Play, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. Google is not a party to these Terms.

16.2 California Users

Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California users of the Services are entitled to the following notice:

The provider of the Services is Technical Angler, LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company. You may contact us with questions or complaints at legal@technicalangler.com. Subscription fees, where applicable, are disclosed in the app at the point of purchase, as described in Section 12.

17. Dispute Resolution

17.1 Informal Resolution and Notice of Dispute

Before filing any legal claim or initiating arbitration, you agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. You must first send a written notice of dispute to legal@technicalangler.com describing the nature and basis of the claim and the specific relief sought. Technical Angler will have sixty (60) days from receipt of the notice to attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith. Compliance with this informal resolution process is a condition precedent to initiating arbitration or any other legal proceeding.

17.2 Binding Arbitration

For disputes that cannot be resolved through the informal process described in Section 17.1, you and Technical Angler agree to resolve all claims through binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except for:

Claims that qualify for small claims court in your county of residence or in Charleston County, South Carolina
Intellectual property disputes
Requests for injunctive or equitable relief

Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator under the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Hearings will take place in Charleston, South Carolina, or in your county of residence, as determined under those rules.

17.3 Class Action Waiver

You and Technical Angler agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

17.4 Jury Trial Waiver

To the extent any claim proceeds in court rather than arbitration, you and Technical Angler each waive any right to a trial by jury.

17.5 Right to Opt Out of Arbitration

You may opt out of the arbitration agreement in Section 17.2 and the class action waiver in Section 17.3 by sending written notice to Technical Angler, LLC at legal@technicalangler.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, the email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other terms of this agreement.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms for specific Services, constitute the entire agreement between you and Technical Angler, LLC.

18.3 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations to any party at any time.

18.4 Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision.

18.5 Force Majeure

We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
