Terms of Service
Last Updated: February 2026
1. Introduction and Acceptance
Welcome to Sailtrax. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Sailtrax mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Service") operated by Nikolas Molinari ("we," "us," or "our").
By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service.
2. Description of Service
Sailtrax is a sailing companion application that provides:
- Live Data Access: Real-time sailing telemetry (speed, position, wind, depth, etc.) from yacht onboard instruments
- Voyage History: Access to historical track data and voyage recordings
- Family Sharing: The ability for family and friends to follow your voyage remotely
The Service is designed as a recreational and informational tool. It is not intended to replace proper navigation equipment, charts, or seamanship practices.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years of age to use the Service. By using Sailtrax, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.
If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
4. User Accounts
4.1 Account Creation
To access certain features, you must create an account using Google Sign-In, Sign in with Apple, or another authentication method we provide. You agree to:
- Provide accurate and complete information
- Maintain the security of your account credentials
- Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to your account
4.2 Account Responsibility
You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account credentials.
5. Service Tiers
5.1 Free Tier
The free tier provides:
- Access to live sailing data during your charter
- Basic statistics and real-time tracking
Free tier access is available at no cost.
5.2 Premium Tier
The premium tier provides:
- Full access to your complete voyage history

Premium access is available as a one-time in-app purchase per voyage/charter week.
5.3 Data Storage Duration
When we refer to "permanent" or "forever" storage of voyage data, this means:
Lifetime of the Service – We will retain your voyage data for as long as Sailtrax continues to operate. If we discontinue the Service, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you in advance and provide an opportunity to export your data.
No Guarantee of Preservation – While we implement industry-standard backup practices, we do not guarantee that data will never be lost. Technical failures, unforeseen circumstances, or force majeure events may result in data loss.
Best Efforts Basis – Data storage is provided on a "best efforts" basis. We are not liable for any loss of voyage history data, regardless of the cause.
We recommend that you maintain your own records of any voyage data that is important to you. Do not rely solely on our Service for long-term preservation of critical data.
