 3. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES


You may use Our Services only in accordance with these Terms and only for lawful purposes. As a General User, you are responsible for:

  • making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to Our Services; and

  • ensuring that all persons who access Our Services through your Internet connection are aware of these Terms and comply with them.

It is a condition of your use of Our Services that all the information you provide on or through Our Services is correct, current, and complete. You agree that all information you provide to or through Our Services, including but not limited to through the use of any interactive and communication features, is governed by these Terms, and you affirmatively consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy

 

3.1 - Your Account; Subscription Services

 

3.1.1 - Your Account

To access some of Our Services and certain features we offer, you may be asked to create an account by providing certain registration details or other information. If you create, or are provided with, a user name, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. We reserve the right to disable any user name, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, (collectively, the “Login Credentials”), at any time and in our sole discretion, if we believe you have violated any provision of these Terms. We also reserve the right to disable any Login Credentials at any time and in our sole discretion, for any or no reason. 

 

You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to Our Services using your Login Credentials. Without limiting the previous sentence, Marinas may allow, at their sole discretion, their employees, agents, independent contractors, or any other party who must use Marina Login Credentials to access the Marina’s account for implementation, technical difficulty, general maintenance, or any other service approved by the Marina and TWG. 

 

You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your user name or password, or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you log out from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information. 

 

TWG, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to take any and all necessary actions under the Laws of the State of Massachusetts, Federal Law, or any other rule or regulation should it determine that you, your employees, agents, independent contractors, or any other party improperly uses your Login Credentials, regardless of whether the improper use resulted in commercial gain for you or the violator (“Unauthorized Access”). In the event of such Unauthorized Access, TWG reserves the right to suspend your access and use of Our Services immediately. 

 

3.1.2 - Marina Subscription Services

 

If you are a Marina, you may be able to upgrade your account from the free version of Our Services to a paid subscription, which offers access to additional features on some of Our Services (“Marina Upgraded Accounts”). Marina Upgraded Accounts will be subject to additional terms and conditions, such as our SaaS Services Agreement (“SaaS Agreement”), which will be made available to you at the time of upgrade, and the Authorization for ACH Debit Payment and Storage of Account Information (“Stripe Payments ACH Authorization”), which is incorporated into these Terms by this reference. As a Marina, in the event you wish to downgrade your Marina Upgraded Account to a different paid subscription level or revert back to the free version, or you wish to delete your account altogether, you may request an account downgrade or deletion by contacting us at mayday@dockwa.com. Whether or not you upgrade or you downgrade your Marina Upgraded Account, your paid subscription or use of the free version may be subject to the Stripe Payments ACH Authorization, which is incorporated into these Terms by this reference.  

 

3.1.3 - Boater Subscription Services

 

If you are a Boater, you may upgrade your account from the free version of Our Services to a paid subscription, which offers access to additional features for some of Our Services, including premium functionality and access to exclusive deals and discounts. (Such paid, premium boater services are referred to herein as the “Dockwa+ Membership”). TWG may choose in its sole discretion to add or remove Dockwa+ Membership benefits from time to time.

 

Once your Dockwa+ Membership is confirmed, deals and discounts applicable to your reservation(s) will be automatically applied at the time of your reservation through Our Services.

 

Dockwa+ Membership is an annual subscription that will automatically renew each year after your initial subscription date unless you elect to downgrade or delete your account by making the applicable selection in your account settings at any time prior to the next subscription renewal date. The membership fee for Dockwa+ Membership is stated on the page through which you submit your reservation through Our Services. We may offer different Dockwa+ Membership terms from time to time and the fees for such membership may vary annually.

 

UNLESS YOU MAKE A SELECTION IN YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS BEFORE THE NEXT SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL DATE TO CANCEL OR TO NOT AUTO RENEW YOUR DOCKWA+ MEMBERSHIP, YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR DOCKWA+ MEMBERSHIP WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONTINUE AND YOU AUTHORIZE US (WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU, UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW) TO COLLECT THE THEN-APPLICABLE DOCKWA+ MEMBERSHIP FEE AND ANY APPLICABLE TAXES, USING ANY ELIGIBLE PAYMENT METHOD WE HAVE ON RECORD FOR YOU.

 

Your Dockwa+ Membership fee is non-refundable except as expressly set forth in these Terms. Any applicable taxes will apply on your Dockwa+ Membership fee at the time payment is processed and will be based on the zip code you provide to us at the time of purchase. If you sign up for a Dockwa+ Membership, then the billing terms described below will apply to your membership.

 

If the payment method we have on file for you is declined for payment of your Dockwa+ Membership fee, you must provide to us a new eligible payment method promptly or we may cancel your Dockwa+ Membership. If you provide us with a new eligible payment method and are successfully charged, your new Dockwa+ Membership period will be based on the original renewal date and not the date of the successful charge.

 

We reserve the right to accept or refuse your offer to purchase a Dockwa+ Membership in our sole discretion. You may not transfer or assign your Dockwa+ Membership or any Dockwa+ Membership benefits to any other party.

 

You may opt out of receiving marketing e-mails from us when you set up your Dockwa account or at any time by updating your account settings. Unless you opt out of receiving marketing e-mails form us, we may send you marketing e-mails related to your Dockwa+ Membership. We may send you communications related to your account, the Terms, or other non-marketing matters regardless of any settings or preferences related to the account that you set up through Our Services.

 

You acknowledge that purchasing a Dockwa+ Membership does not guarantee that you will receive any deals and that there may be situations where a marina does not honor a deal offered through a Dockwa+ Membership or a deal sells out, expires, or is removed before you can accept it.

 

3.2 - Privacy

 

Our collection and use of your personal information, including any payment information, in connection with Our Services is provided in our Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”), available at http://ahoy.dockwa.com/privacy.

 

3.3 - Payments & Transactions

 

3.3.1 - Boater Charges & Payment Methods

 

As a Boater, you understand that use of Our Services may result in your making payments for the services you receive from Marinas (“Charges”). After you have received Marina services through your use of Our Services, TWG will facilitate payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the Marina, as such Marina’s limited payment collection agent. All Charges are due and payable immediately as of the date(s) and method(s) stated in the reservation confirmation. You may pay the Charges with credit card payments (including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover). TWG will use the preferred payment method designated in your Boater account and will send you a receipt by e-mail. Payment of the Charges in such a manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Marina and will satisfy your payment obligation to the Marina, and the Marina agrees that it will have no further recourse against you for such payment amount. 

 

TWG partners with companies (such as Stripe) for payment processing. When you make a reservation, you're also agreeing to the payment processor's terms of service (e.g., Stripe terms of service (currently viewable at https://stripe.com/us/legal/)). TWG may replace its payment processor at any time without notifying you. If your primary payment method is determined to be expired, invalid, or otherwise unable to be charged, you agree that TWG may, as the Marina’s limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in your Boater account, if available. TWG may notify you if any of your payment methods are insufficient or need to be updated if payment fails at the time the payment is due. It is your sole responsibility to update and fully pay all balances due for services you receive through Our Services, and you acknowledge that TWG takes no part in and bears no responsibility or liability for any portion of the transaction between you and the Marina other than facilitating your payment. 

 

Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise stated under the “Reservations & Cancellation Policies” section of these Terms or by TWG. You retain the right to request lower charges from a Marina for services received by you from such Marina at the time you receive the services. 

 

Marinas reserve the right to modify charges should such Marina determine that there is a discrepancy between the information you provided to make your reservation and the actual characteristics of your particular boat or vessel. For example, a discrepancy between your boat’s total length and the actual length as determined by the Marina could result in an increased charge to use the services of the Marina. TWG will respond accordingly to any request from a Marina to modify the Charges for a particular service. 

 

To the maximum extent permitted by law, TWG reserves the right to establish, remove, or revise Charges for any or all aspects of Our Services at any time in TWG’s sole discretion. TWG will use reasonable efforts to inform you of Charges that may apply. You will be responsible for the Charges incurred under your Boater account regardless of your actual awareness of such Charges or their amounts. TWG may, from time to time, provide users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in alternate Charges for the same or similar Services. You agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of Our Services or Charges applied to you. You may elect to cancel your request for services from a Marina at any time prior to your use of such services, in which case you may still be charged a fee as described further under the “Reservation & Cancellation Policies” section of these Terms.

 

3.3.2 - Boater Gratuities to Marinas

 

TWG’s payment facilitation is structured to fully compensate the Marina for services provided. TWG does not designate any portion of your payment as a tip or gratuity to the Marina or Marina employees. Any representation by TWG, on Our Services or in TWG’s marketing materials to the effect that tipping is “voluntary,” “not required,” or “included” in the payments you make for Marina services is not intended to suggest that TWG provides any additional amounts, beyond those described in these Terms, to the Marina or Marina employees. 

 

You understand and agree that, while you are free to provide additional payment as gratuity directly to any Marina or Marina employee who provides you services obtained through Our Services, you are under no obligation to do so. All gratuities are voluntary. After you have received services obtained through Our Services, you will have the opportunity to leave feedback about your Marina. In the event you feel unwelcome pressure to provide a gratuity, you may factor that into the feedback you give. For additional information on how we use and process your payment method information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

 

3.3.3 - Marina Service Fees & Responsibilities

 

By using Our Services as a Marina, you are appointing TWG as your payment agent in connection with transactions carried out through Our Services. Marinas agree that payments from a Boater to TWG as your payment agent satisfy such Boater’s payment obligation to you and you have no further recourse against such Boater for such payment amount. Marinas agree to all payment terms and fees described in the Terms, in the Stripe Payments ACH Authorization as referenced here, and in your SaaS Agreement (if applicable). In particular, Marinas agree to pay TWG's applicable service fee for all reservations processed through Our Services. This is inclusive of all credit card transaction and ACH transaction fees.

 

Payment processing services for Marinas on TWG are provided by Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”) and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement (currently viewable at https://stripe.com/us/connect-account/legal), which includes the Stripe terms of service (currently viewable at https://stripe.com/us/legal/) (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). 

 

By using or continuing to operate as a Marina on Our Services, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement in addition to these Terms, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As with these Terms, the Stripe Services Agreement is subject to change at any time, so we encourage you to review the Stripe Services Agreement regularly. As a condition of TWG enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide TWG accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize TWG to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe. For additional information on how we use and process your payment information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

 

Marinas shall follow all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations concerning their business, as required in the jurisdiction where they are physically located or where they directly or indirectly conduct business. TWG takes no part in and bears no responsibility or liability for any portion of the transaction between you and the Boater other than facilitating payment.

 

As a Marina, you are solely responsible for properly reporting taxable income made in connection with any reservations initiated through Our Services. You agree that we will have no liability relating to your failure to report any taxable income made in connection with any reservations initiated through the TWG applications or to pay taxes on that income. You further agree to indemnify us against liability to any third party, including the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxation authority, arising out of your failure to report any taxable income made in connection with any reservations initiated through the TWG applications or to pay taxes on that income.

 

3.4 - Reservation & Cancellation Policies

 

TWG understands that your circumstances may change as a Boater or Marina between the time of booking through Our Services and the use of a confirmed reservation. Marinas are each required to have a cancellation policy specific to their facility and the Boaters who make reservations with them through Our Services. Marina cancellation policies are displayed and can be referenced under the cancellation policy section of Marina listings on Our Services. The posted policies supersede any other cancellation policies and will be used to determine any refund eligibility upon cancellation of a confirmed reservation. In the event that a Boater is eligible for a refund we will work with commercially reasonable efforts to process the refund within seventy-two (72) hours of the cancellation. In some extenuating circumstances refunds may take longer.

 

Marinas are required to honor all reservations made by Boaters through Our Services or any other reservation that originates as a result of Our Services. Further, TWG, in its sole discretion, may discontinue providing certain Marinas with access to or use of Our Services should TWG determine, in its sole discretion, that such Marinas have failed to honor any reservations. TWG does acknowledge that situations may arise where canceling or editing a reservation may be necessary by Marinas. Those situations include severe weather, infrastructure damage, flooding or debris, 'Acts of God, etc.

 

TWG is not liable for any costs incurred due to changes to any reservation made by Boaters or Marinas.
