The Site uses and may reference third-party services, including Stripe for payment processing, Twilio for email delivery, Google Analytics and Umami for analytics, and Starlink Maritime hardware and service from SpaceX. These third parties are not affiliated with Helm, and their products and services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

Informal resolution first.

Before filing any formal dispute, you agree to contact us at hello@helmmarinetech.com and try in good faith to resolve the issue informally for at least 30 days.

Binding arbitration.

If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, you and Helm agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies.

Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, or another mutually agreed arbitration provider. The arbitration will be held in Fairfield County, Connecticut, or conducted by telephone or video at the arbitrator's discretion. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

No class actions.

You and Helm agree that any dispute will be brought in each party's individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims of more than one person or preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

Opt-out.

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by sending written notice to hello@helmmarinetech.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and including your name and contact information. If you opt out, Section 11 (Governing Law and Venue) will govern any dispute.

These Terms and any dispute arising from or related to them or the Site are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Subject to Section 10, you and Helm agree that the exclusive venue for any court proceeding permitted under these Terms will be the state or federal courts located in Fairfield County, Connecticut, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction there.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Effective Date" above. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, please stop using the Site.

We may suspend or end your access to the Site at any time, for any reason, without notice. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and governing law) will continue to apply.

• Entire agreement.These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any service agreement you sign with us, are the entire agreement between you and Helm regarding the Site.
• Severability.If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
• No waiver.Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
• Assignment.You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms at our discretion.
• Headings.Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect the meaning of these Terms.
