Nautical Compass (the "Service") is operated by Apex Vision Holdings LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Nautical Compass uses SMS text messaging to communicate with users who have explicitly opted in to receive operational messages related to their account, workforce participation, and customer care. By checking the optional SMS consent box during intake or in your communication preferences, you consent to receive recurring SMS messages from Nautical Compass related to your account, workforce opportunities, availability requests, job and dispatch opportunities, booking confirmations, call-time information, schedule changes, reminders, replacement requests, cancellation notices, coordinator communications, onboarding notices, and other requested operational workforce communications.
Consent is not a condition of purchase, account creation, or service access. You are not required to provide a mobile phone number or consent to SMS messaging in order to create an account, submit an intake, or use the Service. You may use NC without opting in to SMS.
These operational messages are customer-care and transactional in nature, not marketing. You will not receive promotional marketing SMS unless you separately opt in to marketing content.
Message frequency varies. The number of messages you receive depends on your activity, assignments, and the types of communications you request. You may receive several messages around a dispatch, booking, or opportunity and fewer at other times. Participation in SMS messaging is subject to carrier and device availability.
Message and data rates may apply. You are responsible for any message and data charges imposed by your mobile carrier for receiving SMS messages.
You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any message we send. Opting out applies to the applicable messaging program. For assistance, reply HELP. After opting out, you may still receive non-SMS communications (such as email or in-app notifications) where applicable, and you may re-subscribe by contacting us or adjusting your communication preferences in the Service.
You agree to provide accurate information, to use the Service lawfully, and not to misuse, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service. You are responsible for your account activity.
The Service and its content are owned by or licensed to Apex Vision Holdings LLC. You may not copy, modify, or distribute Service content without our permission.
For participating music uses agreed with the applicable rights holders, ninety percent (90%) of Music Revenue is allocated to the participating artists and other entitled rights holders, and ten percent (10%) is retained by Nautical Compass OS (NCOS).
“Music Revenue” means amounts actually collected by NCOS specifically for music access, music licensing, or music add-on services, excluding taxes collected for remittance, refunded amounts, and reversed or charged-back payments. Virtual rent, storefront fees, and advertising charges are separate and are not included. Bundled charges must identify the music portion separately.
NCOS pays payment-processing fees from its own ten percent (10%) share; those fees do not reduce the ninety percent (90%) rights-holder allocation. Where multiple works or rights holders participate, the ninety percent allocation is a shared pool distributed under the applicable agreed ownership splits and allocation method, not ninety percent payable separately to every participant.
A participating music agreement must identify the authorized uses, recipients, allocation method, reporting period, and payment schedule. This clause does not itself grant permission to use music, authorize brand endorsement, amend an existing signed agreement, or represent that automated royalty payments are currently operating. Podcast sponsorship and other non-music advertising require separate terms.
Nautical Compass provides legal information, tools, and resources through features such as JurisEngine, but Nautical Compass and Apex Vision Holdings LLC are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice or attorney-client representation. Communications through the Service do not create an attorney-client relationship. You should consult a licensed attorney for legal advice regarding your specific situation.
The NC Grant Engine provides grant and funding opportunity matching, eligibility analysis, and AI-assisted drafting tools. NC does not guarantee eligibility, funding, or awards. Grant opportunity data is sourced from public databases and may not be current, complete, or accurate. Eligibility depends on the funder and verified facts. AI-assisted match explanations, eligibility analyses, and drafting suggestions are advisory and may require human review before submission. You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of any application you submit. Subscription quotas (AI-assisted actions, active workspaces, and document storage) are enforced server-side and reset per billing period.
The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apex Vision Holdings LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service or SMS messaging.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date above when we do. Continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
