Terms of Use & End User License Agreement

Application: Sailor's Companion (the “App”) · Provider: Johannes Püller · Effective date: 28 June 2026

These Terms of Use and End User License Agreement (the “Terms”) govern your use of the App. By downloading or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

Important safety notice — please read. Sailor's Companion is an electronic logbook and a support tool. It is not a certified navigation device and must not be used as a primary means of navigation. The map shown is a general map with OpenSeaMap seamarks — it is not an official nautical chart and may be incomplete, outdated or inaccurate. Always navigate using official, up-to-date nautical charts and approved equipment, and use your own seamanship and judgement. You use the App at your own risk.

1. Not a substitute for a legal logbook

Using the App does not exempt you from any obligation to keep a logbook required by law. The App is intended to support the day-to-day task of logging on board. Its features and automatically recorded entries do not necessarily meet the requirements of a legally prescribed logbook, and may not be admissible as such. You are responsible for meeting any legal record-keeping duties that apply to you.

2. Data accuracy & “data honesty”

The App aims to display only values it can actually determine, and to mark estimated, cached or unavailable data accordingly (e.g. weather may be cached/offline; positions depend on your device’s GPS). Nonetheless, sensor, GPS, weather and map data may be inaccurate, delayed or unavailable. The App makes no warranty as to the topicality, correctness or completeness of any information provided.

3. Licence

The Provider grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms and to Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (standard EULA), available at apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula. Where these Terms conflict with the Apple standard EULA, these Terms prevail to the extent permitted; otherwise the Apple standard EULA applies. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, distribute or create derivative works of the App except as permitted by mandatory law.

4. Purchases & subscriptions

The App may offer paid features and/or auto-renewing subscriptions. Purchases are processed by Apple via the App Store and are subject to Apple’s terms. Prices, billing and renewal terms are shown at the point of purchase. Auto-renewing subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; you can manage and cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings. Statutory withdrawal rights for consumers under EU/Austrian law remain unaffected.

5. Maps & third-party content

Map data is provided by third parties (e.g. OpenStreetMap, OpenSeaMap and Apple). Such data is provided under the respective providers’ licences and may be subject to restrictions; in particular, the static map images contained in PDF exports may not be published in violation of those providers’ terms. Attribution to the respective providers is shown in the App and in exported materials.

6. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. Mandatory statutory warranty rights of consumers under Austrian/EU law remain unaffected.

7. Limitation of liability

The Provider is liable without limitation for damages resulting from intent or gross negligence, and for injury to life, body or health, and under the Austrian Product Liability Act where applicable. For slight negligence, the Provider is liable only for the breach of essential contractual obligations and limited to foreseeable, typical damage. Any further liability is excluded. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited or excluded under mandatory law (in particular the Austrian Consumer Protection Act, KSchG).

8. Your responsibilities

You agree to use the App lawfully, not to misuse the feedback/support channel, and to maintain appropriate safety equipment and navigation practices independent of the App.

9. Changes & availability

The Provider may change, supplement, or discontinue parts or all of the App, and may update these Terms where there is a valid reason (e.g. changes in functionality or law); continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance, subject to mandatory consumer law. The App’s availability is not guaranteed.

10. Termination

This licence ends automatically if you breach these Terms. You may end it at any time by deleting the App.

11. Governing law & jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by Austrian law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the country of your habitual residence remain unaffected. For consumers, the statutory places of jurisdiction apply.

12. Apple as third-party beneficiary

You acknowledge that these Terms are concluded between you and the Provider, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Maintenance and support, and any product warranty to the extent not effectively disclaimed, are the Provider’s responsibility, not Apple’s.

7. Legal Compliance

You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

9. Third Party Terms of Agreement

You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App (for example, your wireless data service agreement, and the licence terms of third-party map/data providers such as OpenStreetMap, OpenSeaMap and Apple).

10. Third Party Beneficiary

You acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of this EULA, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this EULA, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this EULA against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
