User Terms of Service
EFFECTIVE DATE: 1 January, 2024
​
Aquator Marine Private Limited (“Aquator” “we,” “our”) offers a variety of yacht management, productivity, collaboration, and organizational tools available online, including via a mobile application (collectively, the “Service”), and website www.aquatormarine.com (the “Website”). If you have any questions about these User Terms of Service (the “Terms”), please email us at info@aquatormarine.com. Aquator Marine has three different types of users:
​
-
We call users of the Websites “Site Visitors.”
​
-
We call users who use the free version of the Aquator Marine service “Free Users.” While Free Users can access and use the Service, they have access to a more limited set of Service features and functionality than Subscribers.
​
-
We call users who use the Service as part of a paid Aquator Marine subscription plan (regardless of the subscription tier) “Subscribers.” The Service features and functionalities available to Subscribers are determined by the subscription tier and the specific terms agreed to between Aquator Marine and the organization (e.g., your employer or another entity or person, called the “Customer”) that entered into a separate agreement that governs delivery, access, and use of the Service (the “Customer Agreement”).​
​
-
We refer to these three types of users collectively as “Users” or “you” for purposes of these Terms. Regardless of what type of User you are, these Terms create a legal agreement directly between you and Aquator Marine and explain the rules governing the use of the Service and Websites. By accessing or using the Service and Websites, you acknowledge and agree that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not access or use the Service and Websites. We may, from time to time, modify these Terms. Please check this page periodically for updates. We will comply with applicable local legal obligations to provide you with notice of changes to these Terms. Your continued use of the Service and Websites after any such update constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
​
1. Eligibility and scope
​
1.1 General. To use the Service and Websites you must be, and represent and warrant that you are, at least 13 years of age and competent to agree to these Terms.

​

You agree to provide us with accurate, complete, and current registration information about yourself. It is your responsibility to ensure that your password remains confidential and secure. By registering, you agree that you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your user name and password. We may assume that any communications we receive under your account have been made by you. If you are a billing owner, an administrator, or if you have confirmed in writing that you have the authority to make decisions on behalf of a Customer (“Account Administrator”), you represent and warrant that you are authorized to make decisions on behalf of the Customer and agree that Aquator is entitled to rely on your instructions.
​
2.2 Unauthorized Account Use. You are responsible for notifying us at info@aquatormarine.com if you become aware of any unauthorized use of or access to your account.

You will be liable for losses, damages, liability, expenses, and attorneys’ fees incurred by Aquator or a third party due to someone else using your account. In the event that the Account Administrator or Customer loses access to an account or otherwise requests information about an account, Aquator reserves the right to request from the Account Administrator or Customer any verification it deems necessary before restoring access to or providing information about such account in its sole discretion.

Aquator Marine offers a variety of yacht management, productivity, collaboration, and organizational tools available online, including via a mobile application (collectively, the “Service”), and websites, including but limited to www.aquatormarine.com. As you use the Service and interact with the Websites, Aquator collects and processes information from and about you in order to provide you with access to the Service, enhance your experience while using the Service, and interact with you. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) describes how Aquator collects, uses, and discloses information collected through the Service and Websites, and what choices you have with respect to such information. The first section below explains which privacy terms are applicable to you depending on what type of user you are.
​​
References to “Aquator” throughout the Policy mean the Aquator entity that acts as the data controller or data processor of your information, as explained in more detail below. If you do not agree with this Policy, do not access or use the Service, Websites, or any other part of Aquator’s business.
​
I. What Type of User am I and Which Privacy Terms Are Applicable to Me?
Aquator has three different types of users depending on the Aquator products used. Please see the bullets below to determine which type of user you are, and then click the internal link to visit the privacy terms applicable to you. It is possible that you may use Aquator in different ways. If so, please review all applicable privacy terms.
​
-
Subscribers. We call users who use the Service as part of any tier of a paid Aquator subscription plan “Subscribers.” The Service features and functionalities available to Subscribers are determined by the specific terms agreed to between Aquator and the organization (e.g., your employer or another entity or person, called the “Customer”) that entered into a separate agreement that governs delivery, access, and use of the Service (for purpose of this Policy, the “Customer Agreement”). The Customer controls its instance of the Service and is the data controller of the information collected through the Service about Subscribers, and Aquator is a data processor of such information.
-
Free Users. We call users who use a non-paid version of the Service “Free Users.” While Free Users can access and use the Service, they have access to a more limited set of Service features and functionality than Subscribers. Aquator is the data controller of the information collected through the Service about Free Users.
-

​
II. Privacy Terms for Subscribers
​
A. Overview
​
Section II of this Policy applies only to Subscribers. If you are a Subscriber, the “Customer Agreement” governs the collection and processing of information collected from you through the Customer’s instance of the Service (e.g. a Customer’s organization or Account, but for purposes of this Policy referred to as the “Account”), including all associated messages, attachments, files, tasks, projects and project names, team names, channels, conversations, and other content submitted through the Service (“Account Content”). In the event of a conflict between this Privacy Policy and the Customer Agreement, the Customer Agreement governs. Because the Customer controls the Account used by Subscribers, if you have any questions about the Customer’s specific Account settings and privacy practices, please contact the Customer whose Account you use. If you are a Subscriber located in the European Union, please note that the Customer is the data controller with respect to the processing of your Account Content pursuant to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). When processing Account Content of EU data subjects governed by the Customer Agreement, Aquator is the data processor, meaning that we collect and process such information solely on behalf of the Customer.
​
B. Collection and Use of Subscriber Information

This section explains the information we collect from Subscribers. We do not require Subscribers to provide us with information. However, certain information, such as account log-in data, is required to provide you with access to the Service, and other information may be collected automatically as you use the Service.
​
-
Account Content. Account Content is collected, used, and shared by Aquator in accordance with the Customer’s instructions, including any applicable terms in the Customer Agreement, or as required by applicable law. The Customer, and not Aquator, determines its own, internal policies regarding storage, access, modification, deletion, sharing, and retention of Account Content which may apply to your use of the Service. For example, a Customer may provide or remove access to the Service, enable or disable third party integrations, manage permissions, retention and export settings, transfer or assign teams, or share projects. Please check with the Customer about the policies and settings that they have instituted with respect the Account Content that you provide when using the Service.

You will then have the ability to provide optional profile information, such as a photograph or basic demographic data. With your permission, we may also upload calendar information stored on your mobile device to your account. If you submit payment information in connection with your use of the Service, we utilize a third party credit card payment processing company to collect payment information, including your credit card number, billing address, and phone number. In such circumstances, the third party service provider, and not Aquator, stores your payment information on our behalf.

If you initiate these connections, you also understand that we will share information about you that is required to enable your use of the third-party integration through the Service.

​
F. Website Analytics and Advertising
​
1. Website Analytics
​
We may use third-party web analytics services on our Websites to collect and analyze usage information through cookies and similar tools; engage in auditing, research, or reporting; and provide certain features to you. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
​
2. Online Advertising
​
The Websites may integrate third-party advertising technologies that allow for the delivery of relevant content and advertising on the Websites, as well as on other websites you visit. The ads may be based on various factors such as the content of the page you are visiting, information you enter such as your age and gender, your searches, demographic data, and other information we collect from you. These ads may be based on your current activity or your activity over time and across other websites and online services and may be tailored to your interests.
​
Third parties, whose products or services are accessible or advertised via the Websites, may also place cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device to collect information about you as discussed above. We also allow other third parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google Analytics, DoubleClick and others) to serve tailored ads to you on our Websites and other websites and to access their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access the Websites. We sometimes provide Site Visitor information (such as email addresses) to service providers, who may “match” this information in de-identified form to cookies (or mobile ad identifiers) and other proprietary IDs, in order to provide you with more relevant ads when you visit other websites.
​
We neither have access to, nor does this Policy govern, the use of cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed on your device you use to access the Websites by such non-affiliated third parties. If you are interested in more information about tailored browser advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored advertising, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link, the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link, or Your Online Choices to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, visit the Google Ads Settings page. We do not control these opt-out links or whether any particular company chooses to participate in these opt-out programs. We are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms.
​
Please note that if you exercise the opt-out choices above, you will still see advertising when you use the Websites, but it will not be tailored to you based on your online behavior over time.
Notice Concerning Do Not Track Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our Websites for third party purposes, and that is why we provide the variety of opt-out mechanisms listed above. However, we do not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals. To learn more about Do Not Track, you can do so here.

​
We reserve the right to amend this Policy at any time to reflect changes in the law, our data collection and use practices, the features of our Service or Websites, or advances in technology. We will make the revised Policy accessible through the Service and Websites, so you should review the Policy periodically.

​
Aquator takes technical and organizational measures to protect your information against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, and no means of electronic or physical storage, is absolutely secure, and thus we cannot ensure or warrant the security of that information.
​
D. Marketing Practices and Choices
​
If you receive email from us, we may use certain analytics tools, such as clear GIFs, to capture data such as when you open our message or click on any links or banners our email contains. This data allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns. You may instruct us not to use your contact information to contact you by email, postal mail, or phone regarding products, services, promotions and special events that might appeal to your interests by contacting us at the “Aquator Contact Info” section below. In commercial email messages, you can also opt out by following the instructions located at the bottom of such emails.

The parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute directly through consultation with each other before initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. If, after good faith negotiations the parties are unable to resolve the dispute, the parties agree that any and all disputes arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement, including without limitation its existence, validity or termination, shall be resolved according to Singapore law and exclusively by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator with the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (JAMS) and pursuant to the then existing arbitration rules at JAMS.

The place of the arbitration will be Singapore unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties. The arbitration will be conducted in English. The arbitrator shall provide detailed written findings of fact and conclusions of law in support of any award. Judgment upon any such award may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth herein is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the portions of Section 11.3 mandating arbitration shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes. Customer may opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions by sending written notice to Aquator Marine. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date of this Agreement between Customer and Aquator Marine. If Customer opts out of arbitration, Aquator Marine also will not be bound to arbitrate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief as set forth in Section 5.3 (“Equitable Relief”) above and to stop unauthorized use of the Service or infringement of Intellectual Property Rights.

Commitment to GDPR Compliance
EFFECTIVE DATE: 1 January, 2024
​
The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) is a European law establishing protections for the personal data of EU residents that came into force on May 25, 2018. Under the GDPR, organizations that collect, maintain, use, or otherwise process EU residents’ personal data (regardless of the organization’s location) must implement certain privacy and security safeguards for that data. Aquator has established a comprehensive GDPR compliance program and is committed to partnering with its customers and vendors on GDPR compliance efforts. Some significant steps Aquator has taken to align its practices with the GDPR include:
​
-
Revisions to our policies and contracts with our partners, vendors, and users
-
Enhancements to our security practices and procedures
-
Closely reviewing and mapping the data we collect, use, and share
-
Creating more robust internal privacy and security documentation
-
Training employees on GDPR requirements and privacy/security best practices generally
​
-
Carefully evaluating and building a data subject rights’ policy and response process Below, we provide additional details about the core areas of Aquator’s GDPR compliance program and how customers can use Aquator to support their own GDPR compliance initiatives.
​
Data Processing Agreements
Under the GDPR, “data controllers” (i.e. entities that determine the purposes and means of processing data) are required to enter into agreements with other entities that process data on their behalf (called “data processors”). Aquator offers its customers who are controllers of EU personal data the option to enter into a robust data processing agreement under which Aquator commits to process and safeguard personal data in accordance with GDPR requirements. This includes Aquator’s commitment to process personal data consistent with the instructions of the data controller.
​
International Data Transfers
​
As with prior EU data protection laws, the GDPR requires organizations to use a recognized legal mechanism to transfer data from the EU to other countries that do not have a similar data protection framework.
​
Data Access, Management, and Portability Tools
The GDPR gives individual data subjects in certain circumstances the rights to, among other things, access, delete, and make corrections to their data. Aquator is committed to facilitating data subject requests consistent with the GDPR.
​
Privacy Documentation
​
At its core, the GDPR is focused on transparency, fairness, and accountability. Accordingly, the law requires organizations to maintain documentation about their privacy practices and their decisions about how they handle individuals’ personal data. Aquator shares the GDPR’s commitment to these principles, and has included within its ongoing GDPR compliance program documentation about its data collection and processing activities, and the various policies and guidelines it follows pursuant to the GDPR.
​
Data Security
The GDPR requires organizations to use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of personal data. Security continues to be a priority for Aquator.
Ongoing Compliance and Communication
​
The GDPR’s requirements are comprehensive, but the law and regulatory guidance will evolve. As data protection authorities in Europe interpret the GDPR’s requirements and issue guidance, we will continue to follow these developments closely and evaluate our program for any changes or enhancements as needed. We value communication with our customers. If you have any questions about our GDPR compliance efforts, or if you are a data controller customer with questions about how we can help support your own GDPR compliance efforts, please contact us at info@aquatormarine.com.
