Fulmaire

Part 1 — Safety notice

*Shown at sign-up and accepted explicitly. Kept short because a long one does

not get read.*

Paddling is dangerous. Fulmaire does not make it safer.

Fulmaire is a record of where you have been. It is not a navigation aid, not a

weather service, not a safety device, and not a source of advice about where to

paddle or whether conditions are suitable.

We will never tell you where to go. Fulmaire celebrates water you have

already paddled. It does not suggest unpaddled water, it does not show you gaps

to fill, and it does not recommend routes. Water nobody has recorded is

sometimes unrecorded for good reason. This is a permanent commitment, not a

current limitation.

Nothing here creates a deadline. No streaks, no expiring claims, no

countdown, and no score that rises with wind, swell, distance offshore,

darkness or paddling alone. If you ever find a feature that rewards going out

in worse conditions, that is a bug — tell us.

Every decision to launch is yours. Check the forecast and the tide, tell

someone where you are going, carry the means to call for help, and paddle

within your training and experience.

The maps are approximate. Positions come from your own device and

boundaries from generalised national datasets. Coastlines are simplified.

Nothing here is accurate enough to navigate by.

Part 2 — Terms of use

*Version 2026-10-16.*

1. Who we are. Fulmaire is operated by Razorbill Technology Limited,

Kildee, Dunmanway, Co. Cork, P47 NH01, contactable at support@fulmaire.com.

2. What the service is. You give Fulmaire GPS files from paddles you have

already done: one at a time, as a whole history export from Garmin or Strava,

or delivered automatically by a service you connect. Fulmaire works out which

water you covered, which places you passed and which islands you went round,

gives you awards for them, and shows some of that to other paddlers. It is a

record of where you have been, nothing more.

3. Your account. You sign in with an account you already have with

another provider, currently Google. During the trial you also need an invite

code. Your account has a private token; anyone with it can act as you, so keep

it to yourself. One account per person, and you must be 16 or over. Your handle

is a public name: do not impersonate anyone, and do not use a name you have no

right to.

4. Your files are yours. You keep all rights in the tracks you upload. You

grant us a non-exclusive licence to store them, to process them, to derive

claims and awards from them, and to show the derived results to other paddlers

as described in the privacy notice. The licence exists only to run the service

and ends when you delete your account.

We keep the original of every file you give us, unchanged. That is what lets

us recalculate everyone's record fairly when a rule changes (section 7).

Sightings. You can record what you saw on a paddle: wildlife, a cave,

arch or other feature, an invasive plant, litter or pollution, a hazard. Other

paddlers never see your sightings. Unless you switch off "Share my sightings"

on My map, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual

licence to use the details of each sighting (what it was, where, roughly when,

how many, its size and tidal access, and what you wrote about it) without your

name or account: to give them to wildlife, environmental and heritage

recording groups, and to publish them, in any form and in any medium,

including in publications that we or Razorbill Technology Limited produce,

which may be sold. We do not share a sighting near the places you habitually launch from,

or until some hours after your paddle. Switching sharing off stops it from

then on; details already given to a group or published cannot be recalled,

and because they carry nothing that identifies you, they stay where they are

when you delete your account. Please do not name people in what you write.

5. What other paddlers see. Other signed-in paddlers see the water you

hold, shown as map cells under your handle, and the places where you were

first. The leaderboard shows your handle with how much water you hold, how

many awards you have and how far you have paddled. Other paddlers do not see

your route, your email address or your files. Water near the places you habitually launch from is hidden, and

nothing appears until some hours after a paddle; the privacy notice gives the

details. Paddles from a provider whose terms allow its data to be shown only to

you, such as Strava, stay on your own map and never appear to anyone else.

6. It is a game, and holdings change. Water you hold can be taken over by

another paddler who records it after you, and you can take it from them. A

holding is a record of who paddled where and when, not a right to anything,

and it has no money value.

7. Honest records, and fair rules. The record is only worth something if

it is true. Do not upload files you did not record yourself, files recorded by

a vehicle or a boat under power, or files edited to show something that did

not happen. We may decline to count a track, remove a claim or close an account

for this.

We check automatically where we can, and those checks make mistakes in both

directions. We would rather keep a doubtful paddle and flag it than throw away

a real one. If we get one wrong, tell us and we will look again.

The rules that decide claims, awards and ownership will be improved over time.

When one changes, we recalculate everyone's record from the original files

under the new rule, in the order the paddles actually happened. Your holdings

and awards may change as a result, up or down. We will not change a rule to

favour any particular paddler, and we will never add a rule that rewards

paddling in worse conditions (see the safety notice).

8. Accuracy. Positions come from your device. Place names, boundaries and

coastlines come from national open datasets and are simplified. Awards depend

on all of it. We make no guarantee that any of it is correct, and you should

not rely on it for anything that matters.

9. Connected services. If you connect another service to send us your

paddles, or sign in with one, that service's own terms apply to your account

with them, and some of them limit what we may show to others (section 5). If a

service stops working with us, paddles already recorded stay on your record.

10. Price. Fulmaire is free during the trial. We may introduce paid

features or plans later. If we do, we will tell you the price and what it

covers before you are asked to pay, nothing will be charged without your

agreement, and nothing you recorded while it was free will be taken away

because you choose not to pay.

Advertising. The free version of Fulmaire shows advertising, chosen and

served by Google, not by us. An ad is not a recommendation of the product,

place, trip or service in it. Premium has no ads.

11. How the service changes. Fulmaire is new and will change. We may add

features (new awards, new ways to sign in, new connected services, apps for

phones, features for clubs), and we may change or withdraw features. It is a

small service on a modest budget, so it may sometimes be unavailable. Whatever

changes, your data stays recoverable and you can always have a copy of it.

12. Liability.

We do not exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury caused by our

negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not permit us to

exclude. Any clause here that would have that effect does not apply.

Subject to that: we are not liable for decisions you make about when, where or

whether to paddle. Those decisions are yours, and the safety notice above sets

out what this service does and does not do.

If you are a consumer, nothing here affects your statutory rights.

13. Clubs, groups and instructors. Using Fulmaire with a club or group,

including any club features we add later, does not make the club responsible

for its members' paddling, and it does not make us responsible either. If you

are coaching or leading a group, your own qualifications, insurance and

judgement govern that, not anything shown here.

A club trip is an outing one member organises for a club, and any paddlers they let

join. The organiser chooses where and when and writes the plan; Fulmaire does

not choose, check or approve any of it, and does not check anyone's ability

or the conditions. Organising a trip does not make Fulmaire, or the club, the

leader of the trip. Joining one is not an agreement to go: each paddler

decides for themselves whether to go, and whether to launch on the day.

A trip's chat is for those going. Do not post anything unlawful or abusive,

or anything about another person they would not agree to. Anyone going can

report a message to us. We read each report and either leave the message or

take it down; if we take down something you wrote, you see that it was

removed and why, and you can reply to support@fulmaire.com if you think we

got it wrong.

14. Ending it. You can leave whenever you like. Download a copy of

everything we hold, or delete your account, from inside the app at any time,

or email support@fulmaire.com and we will do it for you. Deleting removes your files, tracks and claims, and

the map is recalculated as if you had never paddled, so water you held goes

back to whoever held it before. We may suspend or close an account for a

serious or repeated breach of section 3 or 7, and we will tell you why and let

you take a copy of your data first, unless the law prevents us.

15. Changes to these terms. These terms will change as Fulmaire does. For

a material change, one that affects your rights, what we do with your data or

what you pay, we will tell you before it takes effect and ask you to accept

the new version; if you do not, you can delete your account and take your data

with you. Other changes, such as clearer wording or describing a new optional

feature, take effect when we publish them here with a new version date. Each

acceptance is recorded with the version and the date.

16. Law. Irish law. Irish courts. If you are a consumer elsewhere in the

EU, you keep the protections of your own country's law and may bring

proceedings there.
