Terms of Service

1. Who these terms are between. This software is published by Kepwell LLC. Installing, opening or using it means you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the software.

2. What you are granted. A licence key grants one named person a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the paid edition. The key is personal to the person it was issued to. You may install it on as many of your own devices as you need. You may not share, resell, sublicense or publish a key, and you may not modify the software to bypass licensing.

3. The free edition. The free edition may be used indefinitely, with the feature limits described in the Guide. Those limits may change in future versions; a version you already hold will keep working as it is.

4. What the software does and does not do. It gathers publicly published headlines and applies a rules-based score to help you decide what to read first. It does not verify anything. Coverage is incomplete, headlines may be wrong, out of date or misattributed, and a score is a sorting aid rather than an assessment of any company, vessel or event. Nothing it produces is professional, legal, financial, insurance or technical advice, and nothing in it constitutes a statement about the status of any vessel, certificate, class or approval. Verify anything you intend to act on.

5. Your responsibilities. You are responsible for what you put into the software and what you do with what comes out — including whether your use of it complies with your own employer's policies, your confidentiality obligations, and the data-protection law that applies to you. You are responsible for keeping your own backups.

6. Third-party content and services. Headlines, links and article text belong to the publishers who produced them, and your use of their material is subject to their terms. To reach news sources from a browser the software may pass requests through public relay services; see the Privacy Policy. Kepwell LLC does not control, endorse or take responsibility for third-party content or services.

7. No warranty. The software is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. Kepwell LLC does not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any particular source will remain available.

8. Limitation of liability. To the fullest extent the law allows, Kepwell LLC is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, nor for lost profits, lost business, lost opportunity or lost or corrupted data, arising from your use of or inability to use the software. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid for the software in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

9. Ending the licence. You may stop using the software at any time. Kepwell LLC may end a licence if these terms are breached — for instance if a key is shared or resold. Your data stays on your device either way, and remains exportable.

10. Changes. These terms may change for future versions. The version shipped with the copy you hold is the one that applies to that copy.

11. Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, and the courts there have exclusive jurisdiction, except where the law of your own country gives you rights that cannot be overridden by agreement.
