ScubaOSThese Terms govern your use of the ScubaOS applications (iOS, Android and desktop), the website at scubaos.app, and the optional account and social features (together, the “Service”). The Service is provided by [Operator legal name, address] (“we”, “us”). By using the Service you agree to these Terms.
1. Who can use ScubaOS
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or share content. If you are under 18, you confirm that you have your parent or guardian's permission. We do not knowingly allow children under 13 to create accounts; if we learn that we hold data from a child under 13, we will delete it.
2. The dive-planning disclaimer — read this
ScubaOS is a planning and logging aid only. It is not a dive computer, not a substitute for proper training, certification, supervision, or a working, certified dive computer, and not life-safety equipment.
- Decompression and gas calculations are estimates produced by a model. No model guarantees a dive is safe.
- Always dive within your training and experience, follow your agency's procedures, and rely on your certified dive computer and your own judgement in the water.
- You dive entirely at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any injury, death, loss or damage arising from reliance on plans, logs or any output of the Service.
3. Your account
You are responsible for your account and for keeping your credentials secure. You may delete your account at any time from within the app; doing so permanently removes the account and the content you have shared on our servers (your on-device dive log remains on your device). We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy.
4. Your content
Dives, photos, comments and other material you create are yours. When you share them through the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to host, store and display that content solely to operate the social features for the people you've chosen to share with. You are responsible for the content you post and confirm you have the right to share it. Anything you post must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy and Child Safety Standards.
5. Moderation
You can report content and block other users in the app. We may review, remove or restrict content and suspend users where content breaches these Terms or the law. We are required to act on, and may report, certain illegal content (see our Child Safety Standards).
6. Fees
ScubaOS is free at the core. Any paid features will be described clearly before you buy them, and are handled by the Apple App Store or Google Play under their terms.
7. Intellectual property
The ScubaOS name, logo, app and website are ours or our licensors'. These Terms don't grant you any rights in them beyond using the Service as intended. ScubaOS uses open-source components under their respective licences.
8. Availability & changes
We may change, suspend or withdraw features, and we may update these Terms. If we make material changes we'll take reasonable steps to let you know. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept them.
9. Liability
Beyond the dive-planning disclaimer in section 2, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is”. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited (including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud).
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and disputes are subject to the courts of England and Wales, unless mandatory law in your country of residence says otherwise.
