SailorSkills Terms of Service

1. Acceptance and Electronic Signature

By clicking "Authorize & Save Card" or paying any invoice, you agree to these Terms of Service. Under the federal E-SIGN Act and California UETA, your typed name and click-through are equivalent to a handwritten signature.

2. Service Description

SailorSkills (Brian Cline, sole proprietor) provides marine services including hull cleaning, diving inspection, anode replacement, item recovery, and propeller service. Services are performed in San Francisco Bay Area marinas only.

3. Pricing & Estimates

Estimates shown at order time are based on boat length, service frequency, and standard conditions. Your actual charge may exceed the estimate when:

• Heavy or severe marine growth is found (+50% to +100%)
• Zinc anodes need replacement (per-anode pricing)
• Unusual conditions require extra time

We document and photograph any condition-based surcharge.

4. Authorization for One-Time Charges

You authorize SailorSkills to charge the card you provide for the service you order, in the amount documented in your service report.

5. Authorization for Recurring (Saved-Card) Charges

If you authorize automatic charging at order time or invoice payment, you authorize SailorSkills to charge your saved card for each scheduled service at the price documented in that service's report. You will receive an email notification before each scheduled service window. You can cancel automatic charging any time by emailing diving@briancline.co; cancellation takes effect immediately for any service not yet performed.

6. Cancellation Policy

You may cancel any scheduled service at no charge by replying to the scheduling notification email at least 24 hours before the service window. Cancellation of a recurring authorization does not affect charges for services already performed.

7. Refunds

If service was not performed as described, contact diving@briancline.co within 14 days. We will redo the service or refund the charge. Refunds typically post within 5-10 business days.

8. Dispute Resolution

You agree to contact diving@briancline.co before initiating a credit-card chargeback or legal action. Disputes are governed by California law and venue is Alameda County.

9. Liability

Our liability is limited to the amount paid for the service in question. SailorSkills carries marine-services liability insurance; certificates available on request.

10. Photo and Video Use

We capture photos and video of services for your service log. We will not use them for marketing without separate written permission.

11. Force Majeure

If weather, marina access, or other conditions outside our control prevent service, we will reschedule at no charge.

12. Data Retention

Service records, photos, consent artifacts, and charge records are retained for at least 7 years for tax and dispute-defense purposes.
