Terms and Conditions
Effective Date: April 21, 2026
Please read these Terms and Conditions ("Terms") carefully before using the Fishcom mobile application (the "App") operated by Southeast Holdings, LLC ("us", "we", or "our"). Your access to and use of the App is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms.
1. Description of Service
Fishcom is a productivity tool designed for the commercial fishing industry, providing catch logging, vessel coordination, digital bookkeeping, and supplemental weather data. Fishcom is not a navigation tool and must not be used as a primary source for maritime safety, navigation, or official weather monitoring.
2. Eligibility and Accounts

Account Creation: You must provide accurate information, including your legal name and vessel name.
-
Security: You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.
3. Data Ownership and Intellectual Property
-
User Data: You retain ownership of your catch locations (GPS), catch logs, and uploaded documents. You grant us a limited license to host and back up this data to provide the service.
-
Proprietary Rights: The App’s code, branding, and "Fishcom" trademarks are the exclusive property of Southeast Holdings, LLC.
-
Trade Secrets: We acknowledge that catch coordinates are commercially sensitive. We will not disclose your specific coordinates to third parties except through the sharing features you explicitly activate.
4. User Conduct and Compliance

Sharing Features: Sharing your location or vessel capacity with other users is entirely at your own discretion and risk.
-
Anti-Collusion: You shall not use Fishcom messaging or data sharing for price-fixing or anti-competitive behavior.

5. Subscriptions and Billing
-
Multi-Platform Access: We offer subscriptions via In-App Purchase (Apple/Google) and via our website. Features are identical regardless of the purchase platform.

Informational Purpose Only: The App may provide weather, sea state, and forecasting data sourced from third-party providers. This data is provided for general informational purposes only and may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate.
-
No Reliance for Safety: You acknowledge that weather conditions at sea are volatile. You must never rely on the App as your primary or sole source for making "go/no-go" safety decisions. * Primary Sources: Users are strictly directed to monitor official maritime weather broadcasts (e.g., NOAA Weather Radio, VHF-FM) and use professional seamanship to evaluate environmental risks.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Southeast Holdings, LLC shall not be liable for:
-
Any maritime accidents, personal injury, or loss of life.

Your use of and access to the App.

Your breach of these Terms.

Any disputes between you and another user (e.g., vessel-to-tender coordination disputes).
