These terms are an agreement between you and Kuka Lab ("we", "us") covering your use of the Marine Drill Assistant mobile application and this website (together, "the app"). By downloading, subscribing to or using the app you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the app.
Safety notice — read this first. The app is an English-language training aid. Its briefings, checklists and vocabulary are educational content. They are not a substitute for your ship's approved Muster List, Safety Management System, company procedures, equipment manuals, or SOLAS, MARPOL, the ISPS Code, the IMDG Code or any other statutory requirement, and they do not replace the lawful orders of the Master. In an emergency, follow your ship's official procedures. Where anything in the app differs from your ship's documents, your ship's documents govern. Using the app does not certify competence and does not satisfy any mandatory training, drill or record-keeping obligation.
1. Licence
We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the app on devices you own or control, for your own professional or personal use, for as long as these terms are in force. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
2. What you may not do
- Copy, republish, sell, sublicense, rent or distribute the app or its content.
- Extract the drill texts, vocabulary or checklists to build a competing product, a course, or a dataset for training machine-learning models.
- Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the app, except where that restriction is prohibited by law.
- Circumvent the subscription mechanism or use the app in a way that breaks any applicable law or your employer's rules.
Reproducing individual passages for your own crew's briefing on board is fine. Publishing the content, in whole or in substantial part, is not.
3. Subscriptions
Free trial
The app is free to use for 14 days from first launch. When the trial ends, the paid features are locked until a subscription is active.
Price and renewal
The subscription costs €10 per year, or the equivalent shown by your store in your local currency and tax regime. It renews automatically for further one-year periods at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your store account is charged on renewal.
Managing and cancelling
Purchases are made through, and billed by, the Apple App Store or Google Play. Manage or cancel a subscription in your store account settings — not by deleting the app, which does not cancel anything. Cancelling stops future renewals; access continues until the end of the period you have already paid for.
Refunds
Refunds are handled by the store that took your payment, under its own policy, and we are not able to issue them ourselves. Where consumer law in your country grants you a statutory right of withdrawal or refund, that right is unaffected by this clause.
Price changes
We may change the price for future renewal periods. Where the store requires it, you will be notified in advance and given the opportunity to cancel before the new price takes effect.
4. Your content
Crew lists you import, checklist state and reports you generate are yours. They are stored on your device, we do not receive them, and we claim no rights over them. You are responsible for having a lawful basis to process any personal data of your colleagues that a crew list contains, and for what you do with a report once you export and share it. See the Privacy Policy.
5. Accuracy of content
The drill content is written to reflect widely published good practice and the general requirements of the principal maritime conventions. Regulations change, flag and company requirements differ, and every ship is different. We do not warrant that the content is complete, current or correct for your vessel, your trade or your jurisdiction, and it is your responsibility to verify anything you intend to rely on against your ship's own documents.
6. Third-party services and links
The app uses RevenueCat to verify subscription status, the App Store and Google Play for payment, and your operating system's speech engine for briefing audio. It also links to IMCA's published safety flashes. These services and websites are operated by others under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or availability.
7. Availability
The app's content works offline by design. We may still update, change or discontinue features, and we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of this website or of the subscription verification service. If we discontinue the app entirely, we will not renew subscriptions beyond the periods already paid for.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or non-infringement.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, nor for any loss of profit, revenue, data, goodwill, or for any loss, injury, damage or liability arising out of decisions or actions taken in reliance on the app's content, including during any drill or real emergency. Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the app is limited to the amount you paid us for it in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.
10. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify us against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these terms or from your handling of personal data that you import into the app.
11. Termination
You may stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate this licence if you materially breach these terms. On termination, the licence in section 1 ends; sections 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 and 12 survive.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Ukraine, and the courts of Ukraine have non-exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident in the EEA or the UK, you keep the benefit of any mandatory protections of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings there.
13. Apple-specific terms
Where you obtained the app from the Apple App Store: this agreement is between you and us only, not with Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim relating to the app, including product liability, regulatory non-compliance and consumer protection claims, and for the investigation and defence of any third-party claim that the app infringes intellectual property rights. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement and may enforce it against you.
14. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top of the page shows when they last changed. Material changes will be noted in the app's release notes. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the updated terms.
