Terms of Use

Last Updated: June 28, 2026

Welcome to the Turnagain Arm Bore Tide Safety Initiative (the "Initiative"). By accessing or using this website, its learning modules, and the Safe Surfer Test (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our Services.

1. Educational Purpose Only

All information, modules, videos, graphics, maps, and assessments provided on this website are for general educational and informational purposes only. The environment of Turnagain Arm is exceptionally volatile, and no online resource can replace real-world experience, professional guided instruction, or local expert mentorship.

2. Accuracy and Availability of Information

While we strive to compile accurate, up-to-date resources and links to official NOAA tide tables and predictions, tide times, heights, mudflat conditions, and channels shift constantly. We make no representations or warranties regarding the absolute correctness, completeness, or reliability of any information displayed. Users must verify all environmental conditions independently.

3. User Conduct

You agree to use our Services solely for personal, non-commercial education. You must not attempt to disrupt, exploit, or bypass any mechanisms of this website, including modifying the locally stored quiz parameters, falsifying certificates, or interfering with user access.

4. Intellectual Property

The content, layout, design, text, and videos featured on this platform are owned by the Initiative or its content licensors, protected by copyright and intellectual property laws. You may view and print the Safe Surfer Certificate for personal validation, but you may not republish, sell, or commercially exploit any course materials without express written consent.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. The Initiative disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to suitability for a particular safety purpose, merchantability, or non-infringement.

6. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall the Initiative, its founders, contributors, partners, or developers be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages—including but not limited to personal injury, drowning, property loss, or death—arising from your use of or reliance on the Services, or from your participation in activities described herein.

7. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time. Continued use of this website after any modifications indicates your acceptance of the updated terms.

If you have any questions regarding these Terms of Use, please consult with local safety coordinators.
