Terms

Terms of Use

Effective date: March 1, 2026

These Terms describe the rules for using Shorewise and explain the limits of the service as a boating safety support product.

Shorewise is intended to support better decisions on the water, but it is not a substitute for official guidance, maritime authorities, navigation instruments, or operator judgment.

1. Operator

Shorewise is operated by Adis Hadžić.

If you have questions about these Terms, you can contact: adis7hadzic@gmail.com.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Shorewise, including the Shorewise website and mobile app, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not use Shorewise.

3. What Shorewise Is

Shorewise is a boating safety guidance product designed to support awareness of shoreline proximity, speed-related alerts, map use, and offline county pack access.

Shorewise is intended as a support tool and not as a substitute for seamanship, official instructions, maritime authorities, navigation instruments, local regulations, weather judgment, or safe operation of a vessel.

4. No Legal or Navigation Guarantee

Shorewise does not provide legal advice and does not guarantee compliance with any law, regulation, or maritime rule.

You remain solely responsible for navigation decisions, vessel handling, speed, lookout, route planning, compliance with official rules, and safety on the water.

Alerts, maps, location estimates, downloaded pack data, and other outputs may be incomplete, delayed, unavailable, or inaccurate in some circumstances.

5. Eligibility and Use by Minors

Shorewise may be used by minors, but use of the app remains subject to these Terms.

If you allow a minor to use Shorewise, you are responsible for supervising that use and for their use of the service where applicable.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse Shorewise, interfere with its operation, attempt to gain unauthorized access to related systems, reverse engineer protected components except where allowed by law, or use Shorewise in a way that could harm other users or the service.

You also agree not to rely on Shorewise as your only source of navigation or safety information.

7. Permissions and Device Requirements

Some Shorewise features depend on device permissions and hardware capabilities, including location services, local storage, map functionality, connectivity, and audio or vibration playback.

If required permissions are denied or if your device does not support certain capabilities, some features may not function properly.

8. Offline Packs and Availability

Shorewise may allow you to download optional county or coastline data for offline use.

Offline content may change over time and may require updates, re-downloads, or removal. Availability of packs, regions, or features may change at any time.

9. Purchases and Billing

Shorewise may offer paid features, subscriptions, passes, or other purchases now or in the future.

If purchases are offered through the Apple App Store or Google Play, billing, renewal, cancellation, refunds, and related platform purchase terms are handled by the relevant platform provider under that provider's rules.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, pricing, feature access, and product availability may change.

10. Intellectual Property

Shorewise and its branding, design, software, and related materials are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

These Terms do not transfer ownership of Shorewise or its underlying materials to you. You receive only a limited right to use Shorewise as made available to you.

11. Third-Party Services

Shorewise may rely on third-party infrastructure or providers for maps, downloads, app distribution, payments, hosting, or related functionality.

Those third-party services may have their own terms, policies, and operational limits, and Shorewise is not responsible for third-party services beyond Shorewise's own control.

12. Disclaimers

Shorewise is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis to the extent permitted by applicable law.

To the extent permitted by law, Shorewise makes no warranty that the service will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, accurate, complete, or fit for a particular purpose.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Adis Hadžić will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, loss of profits, loss of business, or navigation-related outcomes arising from or related to use of Shorewise.

To the extent permitted by law, Shorewise's liability is limited because the service is an informational support tool and not a guaranteed navigation, legal, or safety system.

14. Suspension, Changes, and Termination

Shorewise may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue features, packs, pricing, design, or availability at any time.

Access to Shorewise may also be limited or stopped if necessary for maintenance, security, legal reasons, or service changes.

15. Privacy

Your use of Shorewise is also subject to the Shorewise Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy explains how Shorewise handles personal data and should be read together with these Terms.

16. Governing Framework

These Terms are intended to be interpreted in a manner consistent with applicable law, including relevant law in Croatia and, where applicable, European Union law.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions should continue in effect to the extent permitted by law.

17. Changes to These Terms

Shorewise may update these Terms from time to time.

When these Terms change, the updated version will be posted with a revised effective date.
