Terms of Use

Last updated: 4 August 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and MARANOX TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED (Irish company registration no. 816921, "Maranox", "we", "us") governing your use of the Maranox and Maranox Wheelhouse applications and related services (together, the "App"). By downloading, installing, or using the App you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Not for navigation; accuracy

• Seabed, depth, sediment, map, AIS, weather, tide, and fishing-rule information in the App is provided for general reference and planning only, may be incomplete, out of date, or inaccurate, and must be independently verified against official sources before any decision affecting safety.
• Depth and seabed data (including INFOMAR survey data) describe past surveys and do not reflect real-time conditions; actual depths, hazards, and the seabed may differ.
• AIS and live data are shared, best-effort, and may be delayed, incomplete, or unavailable; they are advisory only and not a collision- avoidance system.
• Fishing-rules and compliance overlays are an aid only and do not constitute legal advice; you remain responsible for compliance with all applicable laws and licence conditions.

2. Licence

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your own lawful recreational or commercial use, subject to these Terms and the rules of the app store you obtained it from. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

3. Mobile Free, Pro subscriptions & billing

• Mobile Free. Maranox Mobile includes a permanently usable Free capability set without a purchase or account. Free is not a trial. Local-only marks, tracks and logbook records may be erased if the App is removed or the device is lost.
• Optional Pro subscriptions. Mobile Pro adds eligible premium data, offline packs and cloud services through an auto-renewing subscription (for example €6.99/month or €29.99/year). Maranox Wheelhouse is offered on separately-priced plans. Current local prices are shown before purchase and may vary by region and over time.
• Desktop software and optional Cloud. Desktop is a €500 one-time purchase for ongoing use of the purchased version on one activated computer. Optional cloud backup, sync and supported sharing cost €49 per year. Ending the cloud plan does not remove access to the purchased software or locally saved records. Technician installation is quoted separately; lifetime feature upgrades and unlimited support are not included. Desktop remains in testing, with access arranged directly.
• Introductory offers. An introductory offer appears only when the store confirms eligibility; it is not part of Mobile Free and is not guaranteed. Where offered (for example 14 days for Mobile Pro or six months for eligible new Wheelhouse subscribers), the offer converts automatically to a paid subscription at the price shown unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
• Store subscription auto-renewal. Store-billed subscriptions automatically renew for the same period at the then-current price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your store account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
• Payment & management. Payment is taken by, and subscriptions are managed and cancelled through, the app store you purchased from (Apple App Store or Google Play) in your account settings — not by Maranox directly. Desktop licences may be sold directly via our payment provider, in which case those purchase terms also apply.
• Refunds. Refunds are handled under the policies of the app store or payment provider you purchased through. We may, at our discretion, assist with refund queries via the contact below.

4. Your content & account

Fishing marks, tracks, logs, and settings you create ("Your Content") remain yours. You grant us a limited licence to store, process, and sync Your Content solely to provide the App's features. Mobile Free records may remain only on the device; entitled Pro/Wheelhouse cloud sync is optional. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for activity under your account. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle data.

5. Acceptable use

• Do not reverse-engineer, decompile, resell, or redistribute the App or its data except as permitted by law or the data licences below.
• Do not use the App to break the law, infringe others' rights, submit false data to the shared AIS/network features, or interfere with the service or other users.
• Do not rely on the App where failure could lead to death, personal injury, or environmental or property damage.

6. Data sources & intellectual property

The App, its software, brand, and design are owned by Maranox and protected by law. The App incorporates third-party open data under their own licences, including INFOMAR / Geological Survey Ireland & Marine Institute (CC BY 4.0), OpenStreetMap (ODbL), EMODnet, and others as credited in the App. Those data sources are provided "as is" by their providers and are not warranted by Maranox.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

The App and all data are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, availability, or non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or suitable for navigation or any safety-critical use. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under Irish or EU consumer law.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Maranox will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss, or for any loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, the App or its data for navigation or any other purpose, including loss of life, personal injury, vessel damage, or losses resulting from inaccurate or unavailable data. Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or anything that cannot be limited by law.

9. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time and cancel any subscription through your store account. We may suspend or end your access if you breach these Terms or where required by law. Sections that by their nature should survive (including 1, 6, 7, 8) survive termination.

10. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time; the "Last updated" date shows the current version. Material changes will be notified in the App or by email where appropriate. Continued use after changes means you accept them.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ireland, and the courts of Ireland have jurisdiction, without affecting any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have in your country of residence.
