Terms of Service

1. Private beta

Stingray is offered as a private beta, free of charge. Features may change or be withdrawn, availability is not guaranteed, and access may be granted, limited, or revoked at our discretion. No service levels are promised during the beta.

2. Accounts

You must provide accurate information, keep your credentials confidential, and be at least 18 years old. Stingray is a professional tool intended for business use. You are responsible for activity under your account.

3. Your data stays yours

You retain all rights to the data you upload and the work you produce — recordings, reconstructions, notes, exports. We claim no licence beyond what is technically necessary to store and display it back to you (see the Privacy Policy, §2). You are responsible for having the right to upload and analyse the data you bring.

4. Analytical aid — not expert advice

Stingray decodes, reconstructs, and visualises the data you supply, using documented methods. Its outputs — tracks, closest-point-of-approach figures, reconstructions, exports — are analytical aids, not legal, nautical, or expert conclusions. In particular:

• Outputs are only as good as the source data. Stingray deliberately reproduces source recordings faithfully, including their faults (sensor errors, coarse positions, wrong headings) rather than silently correcting them.
• Verifying outputs, and the professional judgement built on them, is your responsibility. We accept no liability for conclusions, reports, or decisions based on the service's output.

5. Acceptable use

• Do not upload data you have no right to process, or unlawful content.
• Do not probe, disrupt, or circumvent the service's security or usage limits (including the AI-assisted decoding caps).
• Do not resell or provide the service to third parties without our agreement.

6. Intellectual property

The service, its software, design, and documentation are ours or our licensors'. These terms grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service during the beta — nothing more.

7. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided “as is” during the beta, without warranties, and our aggregate liability arising from its use is limited to the amount you paid for it (currently: nothing). Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Italian law, including for wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

8. Termination

You can stop using the service and request account deletion at any time (see the Privacy Policy, §8). We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these terms. On termination, stored project data is deleted.

9. Law and venue

These terms are governed by the law of Italy. For consumers, mandatory protections of your country of residence remain unaffected. If any clause is found invalid, the rest stands. Changes to these terms follow the same notice rule as the Privacy Policy.
