c. Service and System Limitations. The Service is dependent upon the connectivity between the PortzApp server and your Internet-enabled Device. You acknowledge and agree that the Service is a digital platform designed to facilitate communication, coordination, and information exchange between vessel owners, agents, port service providers, and other maritime stakeholders. The Service does not operate or control any vessels, port facilities, marine equipment, or third-party services and relies on information submitted by users and external systems.
Accordingly, you understand and agree to the following limitations:
i. Data Accuracy & Timeliness.
The Service may rely on information provided by vessel agents, port authorities, terminal operators, and third-party systems. PortzApp does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or real-time nature of any such data, including vessel schedules, berthing times, service availability, port restrictions, or operational updates.
ii. Dependence on Third-Party Systems.
Certain features of the Service may rely on integration with external sources such as port community systems, maritime databases, communication networks, or third-party service providers. PortzApp is not responsible for interruptions, delays, failures, or inaccuracies caused by these third parties.
iii. Connectivity and Network Limitations.
The Service requires stable Internet connectivity. Performance may be impacted by weak connectivity, network congestion, device issues, or service outages provided by carriers or Internet service providers.

If you decide to set a password, please be advised that the password is not provided to PortzApp or any third party and you will need to know the current password to change or remove the password. If you decide to set a password, you promise to be fully responsible for the protection of your password and you accept all risks associated with creating or storing your password. Anyone who has access to your password may be able to access the Service and the PortzApp application. If you forget the password, the only way to reset the password is to visit before login: portzapp.com/forgot-password or visit after login: portzapp.com/settings/password, which can reset the password at a potential cost to you. Remembering or keeping track of any password created for the Service is your responsibility, and PortzApp is not responsible for the cost to recover the password. Should you decide not to recover the password and be unable to use the Service, the PortzApp will operate normally despite a lack of access to the Service.
