DockIQ Terms of Use and Privacy Policy

I. DockIQ Terms of Use

Welcome to DockIQ (referenced here as "DockIQ," "we," "us," and "our"). We’re happy you’re here and learning more about our business and our terms of use (the "Terms"). We help you keep an eye on your dock and watercraft, and keep you, your family and friends, and your property safe. 

Our Service is offered to you conditioned upon your acceptance without modification of the Service Agreement, these Terms, and the terms of our Privacy Policy (collectively, the "Agreement"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by, and to use this Service, in accordance with the Agreement. Please read the Agreement carefully. If you do not accept all of these Terms, please do not use our Service. You may not amend this Agreement. Be sure to return to this page periodically to review the most current version of the Agreement. We reserve the right at any time, at our sole discretion, to change or otherwise modify the Agreement without prior notice, and your continued access to or use of this website or our Service signifies your acceptance of the updated or modified Agreement.

Description of Service

DockIQ helps our customers ("Customer,” “End-User," or "you"), through our hardware, mobile applications, and associated services, to monitor docks, watercraft, water conditions, and related marine data to protect themselves and their property, and to get better use out of their docks and watercraft.  Among other things, the Service helps monitor water levels (which may indicate the need to move the dock), tracks the location of the dock and watercraft in the case of unmooring or theft, detects movement on the dock and watercraft, and (if enabled) monitors the water around the dock for unsafe levels of electricity.  The Service also offers alerts, based on the User’s settings, to alert the Customer of certain conditions so the Customer can address the issue (for example, move the dock or alert authorities of a theft in progress).  

In the end, however, DockIQ is only an information provider which provides the Customer with an additional layer of protection. It is up to you to take action based on the information provided. For example, if DockIQ detects the presence of unsafe levels of electricity in the water or water levels that require moving a dock, it is up to you to take appropriate action to remedy the situation. DockIQ cannot act for you; it can alert you that action is needed.  For this reason, you agree that DockIQ will not be liable for any damages suffered by you or your invitees due to your failure to take remedial action in response to an alert.   

Moreover, DockIQ’s ability to provide you information is dependent on some things outside of its control.  For example, alerts can only be delivered if all the necessary telecommunication services are working and your mobile device settings are properly enabled. For this reason, you agree that DockIQ will not be liable for any damages suffered by you, or your invitees due to failures beyond DockIQ’s control. 

Even the best technology cannot take the place of common sense. When using DockIQ, do not ignore apparent dangers or fail to use common sense.  DockIQ cannot guaranty the safety of anyone or anything, but it can assist you in making good decisions by providing the best information available.

If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and this Agreement shall continue in effect.

II. DockIQ Privacy Policy

Thank you for using DockIQ. We understand that choosing and working with software and service partners involves a great deal of trust on your part and we respect your privacy. We take this trust very seriously and make it our highest priority to ensure the security and confidentiality of the personal information you provide to us. Please read the following policy to learn about our privacy practices.

DockIQ encourages you to review the privacy policy statements of websites you choose to link to from DockIQ so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. DockIQ is not responsible for the privacy policy statements or other content on websites outside of the Service.

What Personal Information We Collect

In general, you can browse our site without revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself. At various times, you may decide to provide us with personally identifiable information. This information may include, but is not limited to, your name, your home, billing, or other physical address, your email address, and your phone number, and certain information about your dock and watercraft.  If you engage the DockIQ Service, we collect billing and credit card information (although we use a third-party payment processor, as described below). This information is used to complete transactions with us.

We may also collect non-personally identifiable information. This information may include, but is not limited to, your IP address, your Internet Service Provider, browser type, operating system, access times, referring website addresses, and clickstream data. This information is used for the operation of the site, to maintain the quality of the site, and to provide general statistics. We may gather additional personal or non-personal information in the future.

How We Collect Your Personal Information

In addition to collecting personal information that you provide to DockIQ, we may collect data through cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and other monitoring technologies that enable us to track the actions of users of our site and help personalize your experience with our site.

Pixel tags or web beacons are tracking devices on websites or emails that can monitor the behavior of users visiting a website or users that are recipients of an email. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize DockIQ pages, or register with DockIQ, a cookie helps us to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the Site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the DockIQ features that you customized.

You can accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. You can also delete cookies from your hard drive once you leave a website. If you choose to decline or delete cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the features of the site or websites you visit.

How Your Personal Information is Used

DockIQ collects and uses your personal information to operate its site and deliver the services you have requested. DockIQ may also use your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from DockIQ and its affiliates. DockIQ may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

DockIQ may post customer stories or testimonials on the site, which may contain personally identifiable information. If you wish to request the removal of your customer story or testimonial, you can contact us directly to do so.

DockIQ does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties.

DockIQ may share data with trusted partners to help facilitate or perform certain services on our behalf, including order fulfillment, shipping, payment processing, web hosting, web analytics, marketing, customer support, or to send you email or postal mail. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to DockIQ, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

DockIQ may keep track of the pages our users visit within DockIQ, to determine how users are using the site and improve the experience and operation of the site.

DockIQ will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on DockIQ; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of DockIQ; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of DockIQ, or the public.

Security of Your Personal Information

DockIQ secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

Your Choices Regarding Collection and Use of Your Information

As discussed above, you can choose not to provide us with any information, although it may be needed to use our products and services.

The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Please note that if you refuse to accept cookies from our website, you may not be able to access portions of our site.
