Please read these terms carefully before using ScubaDiverLink
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the ScubaDiverLink platform, operated by 2274638 Ontario Inc. ("ScubaDiverLink", "we", "us", "our"), a corporation incorporated under the laws of Ontario, Canada. By creating an account or using our platform, you agree to these Terms.
ScubaDiverLink is a marketplace that connects scuba divers with dive charter operators, dive shops, and dive guides. We are not a dive operator, shop, or guide ourselves — we provide the technology platform that enables these transactions. All diving activities booked through ScubaDiverLink are provided by independent third-party operators who are solely responsible for the safety, quality, and legality of their services.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at support@scubadiverlink.com if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
Diver accounts are free. Divers may browse listings, make bookings, leave verified reviews, upload certifications, and use all diver-facing platform features. By booking a trip, you agree to the operator's cancellation and refund policy disclosed at the time of booking.
Business accounts require a paid subscription (Standard or Premium). Operators and shops are responsible for accurately representing their services, maintaining required licenses and insurance, and complying with all applicable local laws and safety standards. ScubaDiverLink reserves the right to verify business legitimacy and suspend accounts that misrepresent their services.
Guide accounts may be free or paid (Premium). Guides are independent contractors and are not employees of ScubaDiverLink. Guides are responsible for maintaining their own certifications, insurance, and legal compliance.
All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. ScubaDiverLink charges an 8% platform fee on confirmed bookings, deducted before payout to operators. Operators receive payouts via Stripe Connect according to the Stripe payout schedule.
Refunds are subject to the individual operator's cancellation policy. In the event of a harbour closure or force majeure event recorded on the platform, ScubaDiverLink will facilitate refund processing in accordance with the platform's refund policy.
ScubaDiverLink is not responsible for disputes between divers and operators. We may, at our discretion, mediate disputes but are not obligated to do so.
Scuba diving is an inherently risky activity. Prior to participating in any dive trip booked through our platform, you may be required to sign a liability waiver provided by the operator. Electronic signatures captured through our platform are legally binding. ScubaDiverLink, its affiliates, officers, and employees are not liable for any injury, death, loss, or damage arising from dive activities booked through the platform.
You represent that you are medically fit to dive and hold a valid certification appropriate for the activities booked. ScubaDiverLink does not verify diver fitness for specific activities beyond certification level.
Reviews submitted through ScubaDiverLink must be honest and based on actual experience. Fake, defamatory, or incentivized reviews are prohibited. ScubaDiverLink reserves the right to remove reviews that violate these Terms. By submitting content (reviews, photos, messages), you grant ScubaDiverLink a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, display, and distribute that content in connection with platform operations.
Business subscriptions are billed monthly or annually in advance. You may cancel your subscription at any time — cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period with no partial refunds. ScubaDiverLink reserves the right to modify pricing with 30 days' notice.
The ScubaDiverLink platform, including its software, design, trademarks, and content, is owned by 2274638 Ontario Inc. and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works without our express written permission.
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SCUBADIVERLINK DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. SCUBADIVERLINK'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO SCUBADIVERLINK IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) CAD $100.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ScubaDiverLink, its affiliates, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising from your use of the platform, violation of these Terms, or infringement of any third-party rights.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Any disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Ontario, Canada, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide at least 14 days' notice of material changes. Continued use of the platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
