• Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials
• All activity that occurs under your account
• Promptly notifying your marina administrator of any unauthorized access or security breach

Accounts are personal and non-transferable. You may not share your account with others or create accounts on behalf of third parties without authorization. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or are inactive for an extended period.

Invoices are generated by marina administrators and are visible in your member account. Payment terms, late fees, and accepted payment methods are set by each individual marina and may vary. Yacht Club Mate is not responsible for payment processing disputes between members and their club.

All fees are non-refundable except as expressly stated in your marina's written policy or as required by applicable law.

Transactional messages related to your account and billing may continue even after opting out of promotional communications.

We do not sell or share your mobile phone number or email address with third parties for their own marketing purposes. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
