Term and Conditions
Please read these Terms and Conditions (“Terms,” “Terms and Conditions”) carefully before using the cruisea.com website and CruiSea Application – the mobile application “Service” operated by CruiSea Incorporation. As used in this Agreement, “we,” “us,” “our,” and “CruiSea” means CruiSea Organization.
Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use our app or website. When referred to as the site or application in these Terms – it includes the mobile application, the mobile site, and its related services operated by CruiSea Inc.
GENERAL TERMS

You should make sure, therefore, that you read them carefully before using the app or website. You’re not allowed to copy or modify the app or website, any part of it, or our trademarks in any way. You’re not allowed to attempt to extract the source code of the app, and you also shouldn’t try to translate the app into other languages or make derivative versions. The app itself, website, and all the trademarks, copyright, database rights, and other intellectual property rights related to it, still belong to CruiSea.
CruiSea is committed to ensuring that the app is as useful and efficient as possible. For that reason, we reserve the right to make changes to the app or to charge for its services, at any time and for any identifiable cause. We will never charge you for the app or its services without making it very clear to you precisely what you’re paying for.
The CruiSea app and website process personal data that you have provided to us to ensure our Service. It’s your responsibility to keep your phone and access to the app secure. We, therefore, recommend that you do not root your device, which is the process of removing software restrictions and limitations imposed by the official operating system of your device. It could make your device vulnerable to malware/viruses/malicious programs, compromise your device’s security features, and it could mean that the CruiSea app won’t work correctly.
You should be aware that there are certain things that CruiSea will not take responsibility for. Specific functions of the app will require the app to have an active internet connection. The connection can be Wi-Fi or provided by your mobile network provider, but CruiSea cannot take responsibility for the app not working at full functionality if you don’t have access to Wi-Fi and you don’t have any of your data allowance left.
With respect to CruiSea’s responsibility for your use of the app, when you’re using the app, it’s important to bear in mind that although we endeavor to ensure that it is updated and always correct, we do rely on third parties to provide information to us so that we can make it available to you.
At some point, we may wish to update the app. The app availability on Android and iOS – the requirements for both systems may change, and you’ll need to download the updates if you want to keep using the app. CruiSea does not promise that it will always update the app so that it is relevant to you and works with the iOS/Android version that you have installed on your device. However, you promise always to accept updates to the application when offered to you

PURCHASES
In-App Purchases. From time to time, CruiSea may offer products and services for purchase (“in app purchases”) through iTunes, Google Play, or other application platforms authorized by CruiSea (each, a “Software Store”). If you choose to make an in-app purchase, you will be prompted to enter details for your account with your Software Store (“your IAP Account”), and your IAP Account will be charged for the in-app purchase in accordance with the terms disclosed to you at the time of purchase as well as the general terms for in-app purchases that apply to your IAP Account. Some Software Stores may charge you a sales tax, depending on where you live. If you purchase an auto-recurring periodic subscription through an in-app purchase, your IAP Account will continue to be billed for the subscription until you cancel. After your initial subscription commitment period and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically continue for an additional equivalent period at the price you agreed to when subscribing. If you do not wish your subscription to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your subscription, you will need to log in to your IAP account and follow instructions to cancel your subscription, even if you have otherwise deleted your account with us or if you have deleted the CruiSea application from your device. Deleting your account on CruiSea or deleting the CruiSea application from your device does not cancel your subscription; CruiSea will retain all funds charged to your IAP Account until you cancel your subscription through your IAP Account.
Additional Likes and Other Virtual Items.
From time to time, you may be able to purchase, with “real world” money, a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use “virtual items,” including but not limited to Super Likes (collectively, “Virtual Items”). You are only allowed to purchase Virtual Items from our authorized partners or us through the Service and not in any other way. Virtual Items represent a limited license right governed by this Agreement. Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law, Virtual Items obtained by you are licensed to you, and you acknowledge that no title or ownership in or to Virtual Items is being transferred or assigned to you. This Agreement should not be construed as a sale of any rights in Virtual Items. Any Virtual Item balance shown in your account does not constitute a real-world balance or reflect any stored value but instead constitutes a measurement of the extent of your license. Virtual Items do not incur fees for non-use. However, the license granted to you in Virtual Items will terminate in accordance with the terms of this Agreement when CruiSea ceases providing the Service, or your account is otherwise closed or terminated. CruiSea, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to charge fees for the right to access or use Virtual Items and/ or may distribute Virtual Items with or without charge. CruiSea may manage, regulate, control, modify or eliminate Virtual Items at any time. CruiSea shall have no liability to you or any third party if CruiSea exercises any such rights. The transfer of Virtual Items is prohibited, and you shall not sell, redeem or otherwise transfer Virtual Items to any person or entity. Virtual Items may only be redeemed through the Service. ALL PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS OF VIRTUAL ITEMS MADE THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE. The provision of Virtual Items for use in the Service is a service provided by CruiSea that commences immediately upon the acceptance of your purchase of such Virtual Items. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CRUISEA IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY REASON AND THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MONEY OR OTHER COMPENSATION FOR UNUSED VIRTUAL ITEMS WHEN AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH CLOSURE WAS VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY

REFUNDS.
Generally, all charges for purchases are non-refundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods. We may make an exception if a refund for a subscription offering is requested within fourteen days of the transaction date or if the laws applicable in your jurisdiction provide for refunds.
You may cancel your subscription, without penalty or obligation, at any time prior to midnight of the third business day following the date you subscribed. If you die before the end of your subscription period, your estate shall be entitled to a refund of that portion of any payment you had made for your subscription, which is allocable to the period after your death. If you become disabled (such that you are unable to use the services of CruiSea) before the end of your subscription period, you shall be entitled to a refund of that portion of any payment you had made for your subscription which is allocable to the period after your disability.
Purchases of Virtual Items are FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE.

- If you subscribed using your Apple ID, refunds are handled by Apple, not CruiSea. To request a refund, go to iTunes, click on your Apple ID, select “Purchase history,” find the transaction, and hit “Report Problem.” You can also submit a request at https://getsupport.apple.com.

TRANSMISSION OF PERSONAL DATA TO THIRD PARTIES
CruiSea does/will not sell, trade, or rent your Personal Data to third parties without your prior consent. However, parties can provide your Personal Data to third parties when this is essential for ensuring the Service to you or for carrying out your instructions, such as for making payments using payment providers for Paid Services.
Parties may provide “aggregated anonymous data” about the usage of the Service to third parties for such purposes as well, as it deems to be appropriate. “Aggregated anonymous data” is data that cannot be traced back to you and which therefore does not count as Personal Data. For instance, parties may use aggregated anonymous data to understand better how users use the Service.
If CruiSea (or any parts of it) is transferred to a third party, or CruiSea merges with a third party or undergoes a reorganization, your Personal Data may also be disclosed and/or transferred to that third party. This third party will have the right to continue to use Personal Data and other information that you provided to CruiSea.
Parties may disclose your Personal Data where it believes, in good faith, that it is necessary to comply with a court order, ongoing judicial proceeding, criminal or civil subpoena, or other legal process or request by law enforcement authorities in the country of territory or to exercise its constitutional rights or defend itself against legal claims.
THIRD-PARTY LINKS
The Service may contain advertisements and promotions offered by third parties and links to other websites or resources. CruiSea is not responsible for the availability (or lack of availability) of such external websites or resources. If you choose to interact with the third parties made available through our Service, such party’s terms will govern their relationship with you. CruiSea is not responsible or liable for such third parties’ terms or actions.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
CruiSea and/or its licensors reserve all rights not expressly granted to the user in these Terms & Conditions. The user acknowledges and agrees that – except as explicitly outlined in these Terms & Conditions – CruiSea and its licensors retain all rights, title, and interest, including the Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the Service and the Application as well as to any modifications, adaptations or translations thereof. The user acknowledges and agrees that it does not acquire any rights therein, express, or implied, except for the rights expressly granted under these Terms & Conditions. The Service is licensed, not sold.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
We, therefore, underwrite in no pledge or represent or warrant that your use of our service will be uninterrupted, timely, assured, secure or error-free.
You agree that from time to time, we may remove the service for indefinite periods of time or cancel the service at any time, without notice to you.
You expressly agree that your use of, or inability to use, the APP OR WEBSITE is at your volition and sole risk. The service delivered to you are (except as expressly stated by us) provided ‘as is’ and ‘as available for your use, without any representation, warranties, or conditions of any kind, either express or implied, including all implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, durability, title, and non-infringement.
In no case shall CruiSea, our directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, interns, suppliers, manufacturers, service providers, or licensors be responsible or liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages of any kind, including, without limitation lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs, or any similar damages, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, arising from your use of the APP AND website, or for any other claim related in any way to your use of the service, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of the APP AND WEBSITE or any content uploaded, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the APP, even if advised of their possibility. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
RETROACTIVE AND PROSPECTIVE ARBITRATION, CLASS-ACTION WAIVER, AND JURY WAIVER.
Except where prohibited by applicable law:
The exclusive means of resolving any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof), or the Service, regardless of the date of accrual and including past, pending, and future claims shall be BINDING ARBITRATION administered by the American Arbitration Association under the Consumer Arbitration Rules. The one exception to the exclusivity of arbitration is that you have the right to bring an individual claim against CruiSea in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction in the county in which you reside or in Dallas County, Texas. Such arbitration shall be conducted by written submissions only unless either you or CruiSea elect to invoke the right to an oral hearing before the arbitrator. But whether you choose arbitration or small-claims court, you agree that you will not under any circumstances commence, maintain, or participate in any class action, class arbitration, or other representative action or proceeding against CruiSea.
By accepting this Agreement, you agree to the Arbitration Agreement in this section (subject to existing users limited one-time-right to opt-out within thirty (30) days, discussed below). In doing so, BOTH YOU AND CRUISEA GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend any claims between you and CruiSea (except for matters that may be properly taken to a small claims court and are within such court’s jurisdiction).
If you assert a Claim against CruiSea outside of small claims court, your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY, and the arbitrator shall determine all claims and all issues regarding the arbitrability of the dispute.
Arbitration is a process of private dispute resolution that does not involve the civil courts, a civil judge, or a jury. Instead, the parties’ dispute is decided by a private arbitrator selected by the parties under the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration does not limit or affect the legal claims you as an individual may bring against CruiSea. Agreeing to arbitration will only affect where those claims may be brought and how they will be resolved.
Arbitration is generally considered to be a more rapid dispute resolution process than the judicial system, but that is not always the case. The arbitrator will typically determine whether you or CruiSea will be required to pay or split the cost of any arbitration with CruiSea, based on the circumstances presented.
Existing Users Limited One-Time Right to Opt-Out of the Retroactive Application of the Arbitration Agreement
NOTE: This opt-out section does not apply to new users or existing users who make a purchase after May 11, 2022, or any claims or disputes arising after May 11, 2022
