Terms of Service
1. General
BayPilot provides route planning, weather preview and map tools. By using the Service you accept these Terms.
BayPilot features may change, become temporarily unavailable, be improved, limited, or removed without prior notice where necessary for maintenance, security, or service development.
2. Safety disclaimer
BayPilot is an auxiliary tool. Outputs (routes, ETA, weather) may be incomplete or incorrect. You are fully responsible for navigation and safety decisions.
BayPilot is an auxiliary tool for route planning, weather, and boating information. BayPilot does not replace official nautical charts, pilot books, navigational notices, weather forecasts, safety equipment, common sense, or the captain’s judgment.
Routes, recommendations, forecasts, POIs, and other data may be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, or unavailable. The user bears full responsibility for navigation decisions and voyage safety.
BayPilot is a simple route planner and an auxiliary tool for preliminary voyage planning. It is not a navigation system intended for professional or operational vessel guidance and must not be used as the sole source of data for navigation, obstacle avoidance, fairway guidance, bridge clearance assessment, depth, vessel traffic, or safety decisions.
3. Account and trial
- Trial access may be time-limited.
- Registration may require email verification and CAPTCHA.
- BayPilot is currently free to use unless clearly stated otherwise for a specific feature or offer.
- Using the free version of BayPilot does not mean that all features will remain continuously available; features may be developed, limited, withdrawn, or conditionally offered.
Free access to BayPilot does not change the nature of the Service as a simple auxiliary tool for route planning and viewing information, rather than a navigation system intended for vessel guidance.
4. Prohibited use
- Abusing the API, automated scraping, bulk data extraction, or bypassing limits.
- Security violations, attempts to access other users’ accounts, or disrupting the Service.
4a. Liability and third-party data
BayPilot relies in part on external data and services, including map, weather, geolocation, and other technical data. Such data may be incomplete, delayed, inaccurate, or temporarily unavailable.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, BayPilot is not liable for damages resulting from the use of the Service as a substitute for proper navigation, official navigational publications, current notices, observation of surroundings, safety equipment, or the captain’s decisions.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
4b. User-added POIs
Users may add their own POIs, including anchorages, marinas, buoys, and other voyage-related places. Such information should be added in good faith, in line with the best available knowledge, and in a way that does not mislead others.
Adding false, spammy, offensive, or misleading content is prohibited. BayPilot may remove, hide, or limit the visibility of such content.
POIs and other user-added information are provided for informational purposes only. BayPilot does not guarantee their accuracy, completeness, or timeliness and is not responsible for reliance on them.
4c. Availability and no warranty
BayPilot is provided as is and as available. We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation of the Service, continuous availability of all features, absence of errors, or that the Service will fully meet the user’s expectations.
Data, outputs, calculations, forecasts, map layers, route suggestions, and other information presented in BayPilot may be incomplete, approximate, delayed, or incorrect, especially where they come from external providers or computational models.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, BayPilot makes no express or implied warranties regarding fitness for a particular purpose, data accuracy, feature availability, or the results of using the Service.
