These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Mariner Vault, our website, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By downloading, accessing, or using Mariner Vault, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

3. About Mariner Vault

Mariner Vault is a professional credential management application designed to help mariners organize licenses, endorsements, medical certificates, documents, and other supported professional records.

Mariner Vault is intended solely as an organizational and record-management tool. It is not an official recordkeeping system of the United States Coast Guard, the Transportation Security Administration, any employer, classification society, government agency, or other credentialing authority.

Nothing in the Service constitutes legal, regulatory, medical, employment, or professional advice.

You remain solely responsible for maintaining valid credentials and complying with all applicable laws, regulations, employer requirements, and licensing requirements.

Any information displayed, generated, scanned, or extracted by Mariner Vault is provided for convenience only. You are responsible for independently verifying information against your original documents and applicable official requirements.

4. Reminders and Notifications

Mariner Vault may provide reminders, expiration tracking, notifications, or similar organizational features.

These features are provided as a convenience only and are not guaranteed to be delivered, timely, complete, or accurate. You remain solely responsible for monitoring credential expiration dates and maintaining compliance with all applicable requirements.

5. License to Use the Service

Subject to these Terms, Billiot Software grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use Mariner Vault on devices that you own or control for your personal or professional use.

This license does not transfer ownership of Mariner Vault or any Billiot Software intellectual property to you.

6. Restrictions

You may not, except where expressly permitted by applicable law:

• Copy, reproduce, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or commercially exploit Mariner Vault except as expressly authorized by Billiot Software.

7. Subscriptions and Billing

Certain features of Mariner Vault may require a paid subscription. Subscription plans, billing periods, prices, and any applicable introductory offers are disclosed at the time of purchase and may vary by platform, country, or applicable promotion.

Subscriptions are processed through the applicable app store, including the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and are subject to the billing policies and terms of that platform.

Unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase, subscriptions automatically renew at the then-current price for successive periods of the same length until canceled by you. Your payment method is charged by the applicable app store shortly before each renewal period begins.

You may manage or cancel your subscription through the applicable app-store account settings. Deleting the application does not cancel your subscription.

Billiot Software does not directly process subscription payments and does not control refunds issued by Apple, Google, or other applicable app-store providers.

Refund requests are subject to the applicable platform's refund policies and procedures.

Subscription features may become unavailable when a subscription expires, is canceled, or otherwise becomes inactive. Information stored locally within Mariner Vault may remain on your device subject to the functionality of the application.

8. User Content

You retain ownership of the credentials, documents, photographs, notes, professional records, and other information you choose to store within Mariner Vault ("User Content").

Mariner Vault stores User Content locally on your device. Billiot Software does not receive, access, or store your User Content.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights and permissions to store, reproduce, scan, export, or otherwise use User Content within the Service.

If a future version of Mariner Vault introduces an optional feature that transmits User Content to Billiot Software or a service provider acting on our behalf, that feature will be disclosed before use and will be governed by the applicable Privacy Policy and Terms.

9. Exported Content

Any documents, packets, reports, or other materials you generate and choose to export, share, or transmit from Mariner Vault are sent at your sole discretion and control.

Billiot Software does not control how exported materials are subsequently used, stored, transmitted, or shared by you or any third party to whom you provide them.

10. Data Storage and Backups

Mariner Vault currently stores your information locally on your device.

You are solely responsible for maintaining independent backups of credentials, documents, and other information that is important to you.

Billiot Software cannot recover locally stored information on your behalf if your device is lost, damaged, reset, replaced, or otherwise becomes inaccessible.

Future versions of the Service may offer optional cloud synchronization or backup features. Any such functionality will be subject to applicable disclosures, these Terms, and the Privacy Policy in effect when the feature is offered.

11. Privacy

Your use of Mariner Vault is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, protect, and otherwise process information.

By using the Service, you acknowledge the Privacy Policy and agree to its applicable terms.
