Terms of Service
The agreement between you and IRPCS Ltd when you use our apps and website.
1. Acceptance
By downloading, installing, or using IRPCS, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
2. Your account
You're responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials secure and for activity under your account. You must be at least 13 years old to create an account, or the minimum age required by your jurisdiction, whichever is greater.
3. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract our content for redistribution
- Use the service to break the law or infringe someone else's rights
- Resell or sublicense access to the service
- Use automated tools to scrape, copy, or overload the service
- Share account access with others or use multiple accounts to evade limits
4. Content & licence
The IRPCS app, lessons, illustrations, and code are owned by IRPCS Ltd or licensed to us. The text of the COLREGS is published by the International Maritime Organization and is reproduced for educational reference.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the service for your own learning. All other rights are reserved.
5. Subscriptions & purchases
Paid features are billed through Apple, Google, or Stripe at the price displayed at purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the renewal date. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your platform settings (Apple ID, Google Play, or your account page).
Refunds are governed by the policy of the platform where you purchased (Apple, Google, or Stripe). Where local law requires, statutory cooling-off rights apply — contact us at hello@irpcs.app.
6. Educational disclaimer — important
IRPCS is an educational tool, not a substitute for formal training, qualified instruction, or the published COLREGS document. While we work hard to keep content accurate and up to date, you remain responsible for your decisions on the water. The Master of every vessel retains ultimate responsibility for the safety of the vessel, crew, and other water users under the IRPCS themselves.
Always consult the official IMO publication, your flag state's maritime authority, and a qualified instructor when preparing for any maritime examination or operating a vessel.
7. Warranties
We provide the service "as is" and "as available". To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that all content is free from inaccuracy.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, IRPCS Ltd will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, or goodwill arising from or related to the service. Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising under these Terms is limited to the greater of: (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) £100.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
9. Termination
You can stop using the service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or use the service in a way that risks harm to other users or to us. Sections 4, 7, 8, and 10 survive termination.
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, except where local consumer law gives you the right to bring a claim in your country of residence.
