Welcome to RightYacht. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the RightYacht platform, website, and services (collectively, the “Platform”). By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform.

“You” refers to any individual or entity accessing the Platform, whether as a charter guest, yacht owner, broker, insurer, yacht manager, or other visitor.

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your account information updated. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe are being used fraudulently.

4. RightYacht Ratings and Certifications

4.1 Independent Assessment

RightYacht ratings and certifications represent our independent professional assessment of yacht quality, safety, and condition at the time of evaluation. Ratings are produced using our proprietary methodology and scoring criteria, which we may update from time to time.

4.2 No Guarantee

Ratings and certifications are provided for informational purposes and are not a guarantee of safety, seaworthiness, condition, or fitness for any particular purpose. A RightYacht rating does not replace the need for your own due diligence, professional marine surveys, or compliance with applicable maritime regulations.

4.3 Point-in-Time Assessment

Yacht conditions can change after a rating is issued due to maintenance, modifications, wear, incidents, or other factors. Ratings reflect the state of the vessel at the time of assessment and may not reflect its current condition.

4.4 Use of Ratings

Certified yachts and their representatives may display their RightYacht rating in accordance with our brand guidelines. Misrepresentation, alteration, or fabrication of RightYacht ratings is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action. Uncertified parties may not use RightYacht ratings, logos, or certification marks without prior written authorisation.

5. Yacht Listing Information

Yacht specifications, images, and data displayed on our Platform are compiled from multiple industry sources and provided for informational purposes. While we endeavour to ensure accuracy, we do not warrant that all listing information is complete, current, or error-free. Users should independently verify critical specifications before making charter or purchase decisions.

6. Captain Spyros AI Assistant

Our AI-powered assistant, Captain Spyros, provides charter planning guidance and yacht recommendations. Responses generated by Captain Spyros are for informational and entertainment purposes and should not be relied upon as professional maritime, legal, or financial advice. RightYacht is not liable for decisions made based on AI-generated recommendations.

Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification.

17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Hellenic Republic (Greece), without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Platform shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Athens, Greece.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.
