Terms of Use
This is the agreement between you and Harun Yazgan for using Our Sea. It is written to be read. By using the app you agree to it.
1. The service
Our Sea is an app for two people to keep a private shared record of the places they have been and the things they plan. Each account may belong to one pair at a time. Pairing happens by one person generating an invite code and the other redeeming it within 72 hours.
2. Your account
You must be at least 13 years old, or 16 where local law requires it, and able to enter into this agreement. Keep your password to yourself; you are responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us at support@harunyazgan.com if you think someone else has got into it.
One person, one account. Do not create an account for somebody else, or hand your own to someone the other member of your pair did not agree to.
3. Your content stays yours
Everything you write, photograph and plan in Our Sea belongs to you. We claim no ownership of it. You give us only the permission the app cannot work without: to store your content, and to show it to you and to the partner you paired with. That permission ends when the content is deleted.
You are responsible for having the right to upload what you upload — particularly photographs of other people.
4. What content the pair shares
Islands, notes, wishes and photos belong to the pair, not to whichever of you typed them. Read this before you rely on it: your partner can see, edit and delete anything in your shared sea, including things you added. That is what a shared space means, and Our Sea does not offer a private corner inside one. If you leave the pair or delete your account, the shared content stays with the pair; you do not take it with you, and the remaining member does not lose it.
5. Subscriptions
Our Sea is free to use with limits on how many memories, plans, wishes and photos a pair can keep. A subscription lifts those limits for both members of the pair.
- Subscriptions are sold and billed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play), through the store account you bought with. The price, the term and any introductory offer are shown before you buy.
- They renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before that period ends.
- Manage or cancel a subscription on iPhone in Settings › [your name] › Subscriptions, or on Android in the Play Store app › your profile › Payments & subscriptions › Subscriptions. Deleting the app does not cancel it.
- Refunds are for Apple or Google to give, under the App Store's or Google Play's terms, and we cannot issue them.
- Prices may change; any change applies to periods after we have told you.
If a subscription lapses, nothing you already made is deleted. You keep everything, and you are simply unable to add beyond the free limits until you subscribe again or remove some.
6. Fair use
Do not use Our Sea to store anything unlawful, or anything you have no right to store. Do not attempt to reach another pair's data, probe or overload the service, take it apart, or automate access to it. Do not use it to harass anybody, including the person you are paired with.
7. Reporting unlawful content and copyright
What a pair keeps is visible only to the two people in it, but it still has to be lawful. If you believe something stored in Our Sea infringes your copyright or another right of yours — for example a photograph of you, or a work you own, uploaded without permission — or is otherwise unlawful, write to support@harunyazgan.com with:
- who you are and how to reach you;
- the work or right concerned, and why you hold it;
- what the content is and how you came across it (the email address of the account involved, the island's name or a screenshot helps us find it);
- for a copyright notice, a statement that the use is not authorised by you or by law.
We read every notice. Where a notice shows that content infringes a right or is unlawful, we remove it — under Turkish law, within the period that applies to us (for copyright, Additional Article 4 of Law No. 5846; for other unlawful content, Law No. 5651) — and tell the account holder what was removed and why, unless the law or the notice gives a reason not to. We also act on orders from courts and competent authorities. Someone whose content was removed may reply to the same address.
8. If things go wrong
We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or that puts other people's data at risk. Where it is reasonable to do so we will say why first. You may stop using Our Sea at any time and delete your account from inside the app.
9. Availability, and what we do not promise
We try to keep Our Sea running and your data safe, and the app keeps a copy on your own phone so that it works without a connection. But the service is provided "as is": we do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we cannot promise that data will never be lost. Keep your own copies of anything you could not bear to lose — Settings › Export exists for exactly this.
10. Limits on liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Harun Yazgan is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for lost data or lost profits, arising from your use of Our Sea. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing here removes rights you have as a consumer that cannot be removed by agreement.
11. Changes
We may change these terms. When we do we will update the date at the top and, for significant changes, tell you in the app. Continuing to use Our Sea after a change means you accept it; if you do not, you can delete your account.
12. Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, and its courts have jurisdiction — except where the law of the country you live in gives you the right to bring a claim locally, which this does not take away.
13. Apple
This agreement is between you and Harun Yazgan, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for Our Sea or for supporting it. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these terms and may enforce them against you. If Our Sea fails to conform to an applicable warranty you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price; to the extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation.
14. Getting in touch
