Sealevel does not require an account or registration to access or view any free content or Services.

Basic and free registration may be required to participate in specific Services, including but not limited to, placing an order, submitting a review or comment, registering for a warranty, or subscribing to a newsletter. For these basic Services, you will be asked to register and set up an account. You agree to provide valid and accurate information during registration, and you agree not to provide any information that is false or misleading. You also agree to update your registration or notify us if any of your information changes. You and, if you are an entity, each of your authorized users will be asked to create a strong password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password(s), for all activity that occurs under your account and, if you are an entity, all activity of your authorized users. You and your authorized users agree not to share your password(s) with anyone.

If you discover that someone has used your account or created an account for you without your permission, report it to us immediately at marketing@sealevel.com.

You agree not to impersonate anyone or post content that is offensive or infringes on anyone’s rights. If we determine that your information is inaccurate, fraudulent, or otherwise incorrect, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement with you, remove your content and/or cancel your account, at our sole discretion.

2. Subscription Fees and Payments

a. Fees and Billing. Sealevel Subscription (“Subscription”) Services are provided for a fee, which is presented at the time you purchase a Subscription to the Service. We may add new features or services to the Subscription for additional fees and charges. Your total price will include the price of the Subscription plus any applicable credit card fees, and any sales, use, goods and services (“GST”), value added tax (“VAT”), or other similar tax, under applicable law and based on the tax rate in effect at the time you purchase the Subscription. We will charge tax when required to do so under the tax rules applicable to the Subscription.

b. Subscription Terms. When you purchase a Subscription to use the Service, the following terms will apply:

  • ONGOING MEMBERSHIP AND AUTOMATIC RENEWAL. Your Subscription to use the Service, which may start with a free trial, is for a term of one (1) year beginning on January 1st and ending on December 31st each year.  Your subscription will automatically renew for ongoing additional one (1) year periods following the period of your initial subscription unless and until you cancel your subscription or we terminate it.  For new subscriptions that begin after January 1st the first year’s fees will be prorated equal to the percentage of the calendar year remaining until December 31st.  You must have internet access and provide Sealevel with a current, valid, accepted method of payment to use the Service. If you do not cancel your Subscription, your payment account will be automatically charged up to seven (7) days prior to the beginning of the next renewal period. If payment is declined for any reason, we will send an email to the email address we have on file at the time of registration alerting you of such payment failure. We may try to renew your Subscription again with the payment information we have on file between the initial decline payment and the date your Subscription expires. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing, if your payment is not successfully settled.
  • FREE TRIALS. Your Subscription may include a free trial. The free trial period of your membership lasts for one month, or as otherwise specified during sign-up. Free trials are for new and certain former customers only. Sealevel reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine your free trial eligibility. If your subscription begins with a free trial, your annual subscription will automatically begin at, unless you cancel prior to, the end of the free trial period.
  • HOW TO CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. To cancel your subscription to the Service, contact your sales representative a minimum of thirty (30) days prior to the renewal of your subscription. If you cancel your subscription, you will not receive a refund for any fees charged prior to your cancellation and the service will not automatically renew the following year.
  • PRICE CHANGES. We reserve the right to adjust pricing for the Subscription or any components thereof in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Any price changes to your Subscription will take effect thirty (30) days following email notice to the account on file and will apply to your next renewal Subscription period following such date. If you do not agree to such price changes, you may terminate your Subscription. We encourage you to keep the email address you provide to us current, and to promptly notify us of any changes to your email address, so that you may receive any notices we send to you regarding pricing for the Subscription and other Service-related notices.
