1. OUR SERVICES.

Ship2Mates is where boating enthusiasts connect with marine businesses and services  in their local community, that matter most to them.

This EEA+ Member Agreement (the “Terms”) governs your rights and responsibilities related to Ship2Mates’s services including all of Ship2Mates’s websites, domains, apps, products, services, features, and marketing campaigns (the “Services”) if you have your ordinary place of residence or establishment in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom (together, “EEA+”). These Terms do not apply to Agencies or non-Member Customers, and the Services do not include, Public Services Pages or our non-Member advertising services. When you register to use our Services, you become a “Member.” If you have chosen not to register for our Services, you may still be able to access certain aspects of or made available by our Services as a “Visitor.” By accessing or using our Services, whether as a Member or Visitor, you acknowledge and agree that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms as a legally binding contract with Ship2Mates (even if you are using the Services on behalf of a company), so please take a moment to read these legally binding Terms.

If you are accepting these Terms and using the Services on behalf of a company, partnership, organization, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorised to do so and that you have the authority to bind such entity to these Terms, in which case the words “you” and “your” as used in these Terms shall refer to such entity. The collection, use and sharing of your personal information is described in our Privacy Policy and our Advertising and Cookie Policy. Your use of certain Services, including Business Services (as defined in our Business Services Terms), may be subject to additional terms, policies, and guidelines (“Supplemental Terms”) and such Supplemental Terms will either be listed in these Terms or will be presented to you on the Services. If these Terms are inconsistent with the Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms shall control with respect to such Service.

Throughout these Terms, we use “Ship2Mates”, “we”, “us” and “our” to refer to the companies offering our Services to you as set out in Schedule 1 to these Terms.

10. Community Guidelines. At Ship2Mates, we believe that neighbourly behaviour is the foundation of healthy communities. These Terms include by reference our Community Guidelines on appropriate use of Ship2Mates. All of our Community Guidelines apply to Content submitted on Ship2Mates, including submissions in Groups and Private Messages. We may limit the distribution of or remove Content that we determine violates the Community Guidelines. We reserve the right to proactively moderate Content, although we expressly disclaim any obligation to do so, and we can remove Content, suspend, delete, or deactivate your Account, limit Account privileges, or otherwise refuse service to you, if you violate our Community Guidelines, these Terms, or our other policies, or if you infringe intellectual property, or otherwise engage in behaviour that we think may harm Ship2Mates or a Ship2Mates neighbourhood.

For clarity, any attempt to engage in any of the behaviours listed in this section is also prohibited.
12. Disputes Between Members; Waiver of Claims Against Ship2Mates. In the real world and online, neighbours sometimes disagree. If you have a dispute with another Member, we hope that you will be able to work it out amicably. However, if you can’t, please understand that Ship2Mates is not responsible for the actions of our Members. Each of our Members is solely responsible for their own actions and behaviour, whether they are using Ship2Mates or chatting with a neighbour over the back fence. Accordingly, you agree that Ship2Mates has no responsibility for the conduct of Members or other third parties.
13. Community Moderation. Some Members are provided with additional account features to use to support their neighbourhood, including moderation tools. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY THESE MEMBERS WHILE USING THESE ACCOUNT FEATURES. We reserve the right to overturn any action taken by these Members if we, in our sole discretion, believe that such action is not in the interest of Ship2Mates. We reserve the right to revoke or limit a Member’s access to these tools at any time, with or without notice, for any reason or no reason, including for a breach of these Terms or any relevant policies or guidelines. To learn more about moderation, click here. If you are given access to these additional account features, including moderation tools, then:

• You agree that you are taking all actions related to community moderation on a volunteer basis and are not an employee or contractor of Ship2Mates;
• You may not represent that you are authorised to act on behalf of Ship2Mates;
• You may not enter into any agreement with a third party on behalf of Ship2Mates;
• You may not perform moderation actions in return for any form of compensation, consideration, gift, or favor from third parties; and
• If you have access to any non-public information through these account features, then you will use such information only in connection with your role as a volunteer.

1. MEMBER TRANSACTIONS.
2. Products and Services Offered by Members. You, and not Ship2Mates, are responsible for your own decisions and actions on the Services. Ship2Mates does not own or sell any of the products or services listed by Members on the Services (such as in “For Sale & Free”), so any actual contract formed is between the Member making an offer and the Member seeking to purchase or otherwise acquire those goods or services. Ship2Mates does not process payments related to any transaction between Members contracted on or through the Services.
3. Engaging Other Members. Ship2Mates does not interview, run background checks on, monitor, supervise, direct or control Members. In addition, the use of Ship2Mates to find a service, via search, Business Pages, or any similar feature, does not make us an employer, placement agency, representative, or agent of or for you or any other Member or service provider, and you acknowledge and agree that no such relationship is intended or created by these Terms or your use of the Services. If you and another Member decide to work together, the two of you, and not Ship2Mates, are solely responsible for complying with any applicable laws, such as tax and employment laws. Members are not independent contractors, employees, joint venturers, franchisees, or service providers to or for Ship2Mates.
4. Prohibited Transactions. Except through Ship2Mates’s Services and in accordance with Ship2Mates’s Guidelines, you may not use the Services to solicit, advertise for, or contact in any form, Members for any employment or other commercial purpose not related to the Services. You may not use the Services to collect the contact information or other personal information of Members, by electronic means or otherwise, without the Member’s explicit consent or our prior written consent.
5. Ship2Mates Only Provides a Venue. Ship2Mates is not a party to interactions, transactions or disputes between Members, and while we may, in our discretion, help facilitate the resolution of disputes we have no control over and do not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, safety, or legality of any goods or services listed by Members on the Services; (ii) the truth or accuracy of Member Content or listings; (iii) the ability of Members to sell or pay for goods or services; (iv) that Members who choose to contract with one another will actually complete the transaction, or (v) the integrity, responsibility, or actions of any Members. Ship2Mates reserves the right to remove any Member’s listing on the Services for any reason or no reason, at any time, with or without notice. When interacting with other Members you should exercise caution and common sense to protect your personal safety and property, just as you would when interacting with other persons whom you don’t know. NEITHER SHIP2MATES NOR OUR AFFILIATES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USER OF THE SERVICES. SHIP2MATES AND OUR AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, INJURY OR DAMAGE ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

7. Notifications. By default, you will receive notifications from Ship2Mates related to your use of and interactions with the Services within the Services, to the email address to which your Account is linked, and/or on your device or browser. You may also opt in to other kinds of notifications,such as marketing notifications. You can change your preferences about receiving messages from Ship2Mates and customise your default notifications in your preference settings here. You can use these preference settings to unsubscribe to specific notifications types by email or text message.
8. Invitations. You can use our Services to send individuals who are not Members invitations, such as by post mail, email, or text message, to register for the Services (“Invitations”). You acknowledge that these Invitations, which we may help to facilitate through our Services, are sent by you and not by Ship2Mates, and Invitations sent by post mail are sent by Ship2Mates on your behalf. Such Invitations may identify you as the person inviting the user and may include details about your neighbourhood. For example, you may invite your neighbours to Ship2Mates by requesting to have us send to them an Invitation, which may include your name and the fact that you are a resident of the neighbourhood. You acknowledge that certain third-party fees, such as those from your mobile carrier or Internet service provider, may apply to the use and operation of your device in connection with your sending an Invitation and that you are solely responsible for any such third-party fees.
9. Text Messages. Ship2Mates provides a text message service that provides Members with notifications relevant to their neighbourhood, Account, or other Services, such as urgent alerts. By giving Ship2Mates your phone number, you are consenting to receiving such text notifications, even if your mobile phone number is registered on any state or federal Do Not Call list, or international equivalent. You may update your preferences at any time, and you must do so if you change your phone number to prevent Ship2Mates from sending messages intended for you to someone else. Ship2Mates does not charge for our text notifications, but your carrier may charge you for such messages. Text notifications may not be delivered if your phone is not in range of a transmission site, or if sufficient network capacity is not available at a particular time. Further, factors beyond the control of the user’s wireless carrier or wireless internet provider may interfere with message delivery, including equipment, terrain, proximity to buildings, foliage, and weather. You acknowledge that notifications may not be timely received and that neither Ship2Mates nor your wireless carrier guarantees that text notifications will be delivered. These notifications are not intended to replace any primary phone service, such as a traditional landline or mobile phone that may be used to contact emergency services. You acknowledge and agree that Ship2Mates is not liable, and you shall not seek to hold Ship2Mates liable, for any damages related to your use of the text notification service. 
10. PROMOTIONS.

Any sweepstakes, contests, raffles, games or similar (collectively, “Promotions”) made available through and as part of the Services may have additional terms and conditions. If you participate in any Promotions, please carefully review any Promotion-specific rules as well as our Privacy Policy. If and to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms or the Privacy Policy, the applicable Promotion rules will govern.

1. THIRD-PARTY SITES AND SERVICES.

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites, advertisers, services, special offers, or other events or activities that are not owned or controlled by Ship2Mates. We don’t endorse or assume any responsibility for any such third-party websites, information, materials, products, or services. If you access any third-party website, advertisement, service, or other Content from Ship2Mates, you do so at your own risk. Ship2Mates may not warn you that you are leaving the Services and are subject to the terms and conditions of another website or domain, which is not under the control of Ship2Mates.
