Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Vobbl mobile application ("Vobbl", "the App", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use Vobbl. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may only use the App with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
2. Your Account
- You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account (authenticated via Google or Apple Sign-In).
- You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
- You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date.
3. User-Generated Content
"Content" means catch logs, photos, notes, trip data, comments, and anything else you submit to the App.
- You retain ownership of your Content.
- By submitting Content, you grant Vobbl a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, reproduce, and display that Content solely to operate and improve the App (e.g. showing your catches on your map, syncing across your devices, awarding badges).
- You are solely responsible for your Content. Do not upload content that is illegal, infringing, harassing, or that discloses another person's private information without consent.
- We may remove Content that violates these Terms.
4. Fishing Regulations — Your Responsibility
Vobbl is a logging and planning tool. It is your responsibility to know and comply with all applicable fishing regulations, including but not limited to license requirements, bag limits, size limits, closed seasons, protected species restrictions, and gear restrictions in your jurisdiction.
Any in-app information about regulations, species, limits, or closed seasons is provided for general reference only, may be incomplete or out of date, and is not a substitute for checking official state, provincial, or federal fishing regulations before you fish. See also the Fishing & Safety Disclaimer.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the App for any unlawful purpose
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other accounts or our systems
- Interfere with or disrupt the App's operation (e.g. reverse-engineering anti-abuse mechanisms, scraping other users' data)
- Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation
6. Third-Party Services
The App uses third-party services (Supabase, Google/Apple Sign-In, Mapbox, and weather providers) to function. Your use of those integrated services is also subject to those providers' own terms, and we are not responsible for their availability or accuracy.
7. Disclaimers
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT WEATHER, SOLUNAR, MAP, OR SPECIES DATA IS ACCURATE OR CURRENT, OR THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.
8. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VOBBL AND ITS OPERATOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP — INCLUDING ANY RELIANCE ON REGULATORY, WEATHER, OR LOCATION INFORMATION, OR ANY INCIDENT OCCURRING WHILE FISHING OR TRAVELING TO/FROM A FISHING LOCATION. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US, IF ANY, IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
9. Termination
You may stop using the App and request account deletion at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
10. Changes to the App or Terms
We may modify or discontinue features of the App, and may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
11. Governing Law
(Placeholder — specify the state/province and country whose law governs these Terms once your business entity/jurisdiction is finalized.)
