⚓ Pushboat Log · Jackstaff Digital

Terms of Use

Effective August 9, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Jackstaff Digital ("we," "us") covering your use of the Pushboat Log mobile application and the pushboatlog.com website (together, the "Service"). By installing or using Pushboat Log, you agree to these Terms.

1. What Pushboat Log is — and what it isn't

Pushboat Log is a record-keeping tool for professional mariners: it helps you log sea time, transfers, assessments, miles, and locks, and format that information the way U.S. Coast Guard guidance describes.

Important: Pushboat Log does not provide legal, credentialing, or licensing advice, and nothing in the app is a determination of your qualifications. The National Maritime Center (NMC) and the U.S. Coast Guard make all credentialing decisions, and their evaluators exercise discretion. We do not guarantee that any document generated by the app will be accepted by the NMC, your employer, or anyone else. Verify requirements with the NMC (1-888-427-5662) before relying on any calculation or document.

2. Your records are your responsibility

You are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of everything you enter into the app. Documents submitted to the U.S. Coast Guard are subject to federal law, including 18 U.S.C. § 1001 (false statements). Keep your own backups — the app stores data only on your device, and we cannot recover it for you.

3. The signature feature

The signature capture feature exists so that the actual person attesting to a record (a captain, tankerman, or designated examiner) can sign it in your presence, at the time of the event. You agree to use it only that way. Creating, reproducing, or applying a signature that was not personally drawn by the named signer for that specific record is prohibited, may constitute fraud or forgery under state and federal law, and is grounds for termination of your license to use the Service. Signature images are stored on your device and are your responsibility to safeguard.

4. Purchases

Parts of the Service are free; other features ("Pro") require a paid subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. All purchases are processed by Apple's App Store or Google Play under their terms; billing, renewal, cancellation, and refunds are handled through your store account according to that store's policies. Subscription prices may change with notice; a change never affects a lifetime purchase already made. Pro features unlock functionality on your device — they do not create an account with us.

5. License and intellectual property

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Pushboat Log on devices you own or control, for your own professional record-keeping. The app, its design, and its content (excluding your records, which are yours) are owned by Jackstaff Digital and protected by intellectual-property law. You may not copy, modify, resell, or redistribute the app or extract its content for a competing product.

6. Acceptable use

7. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT CALCULATIONS, PROJECTIONS, OR GENERATED DOCUMENTS ARE ERROR-FREE OR WILL BE ACCEPTED BY ANY AUTHORITY OR EMPLOYER.

8. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, JACKSTAFF DIGITAL WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST WAGES, LOST CREDENTIALS, DELAYED APPLICATIONS, OR LOST DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE.

9. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time by deleting the app. We may suspend or terminate your license if you materially violate these Terms (for example, misuse of the signature feature). Sections 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 10 survive termination.

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in that state.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms; the current version will always be posted at this address with its effective date. Continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
