Disclosure of Personal Information
The following describes some of the ways that your personal information may be disclosed in the normal scope of business:
- Forums . Any information that you place or submit to be placed within your Captain profile or within any other forum on the boatstobuy will be disclosed to the public.
- Advertisers . We may aggregate personal information and disclose such information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties for their marketing and promotional purposes. We do not disclose your information in a personally identifiable manner to such third party advertisers without your consent .
- External Service Providers. There may be a number of separate services offered by third parties on boatstobuy that we refer to as external service providers and that may be complementary to your use of boatstobuy. We will only provide your personal information to an external service provider with your consent. To prevent the disclosure of your personal information to an external service provider, you can decline such consent or simply not use their services.
Please note that if you choose to use the services of, or disclose information to, an external service provider, then the external service provider’s use of your information is governed by the external service provider’s privacy policy. You should evaluate the practices of external services providers before deciding to use their services.
- Internal Service Providers . We may use third parties that we refer to as internal service providers to facilitate or outsource one or more aspects of our business, product and service operations (e.g., technology, Forums, analytical tools, advertising campaign management) and therefore we may provide some of your personal information directly to these internal service providers. We implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of your personal information by internal service providers, unless you have provided permission for additional uses.
Please note that if you provide additional information to an internal service provider directly, then the internal service provider’s use of your personal information is governed by the internal service provider’s privacy policy. You should evaluate the practices of internal services providers before deciding to provide information directly to an internal service provider.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right (and you authorize us) to share or disclose your personal information when we determine, in our sole discretion, that the disclosure of your personal information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against you if:
- you are or may be violating this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Use;
- you are interfering with another's rights or property, including, without limitation, our rights or property;
- you are violating any applicable law, rule or regulation;
- necessary or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation; and/or
- requested by authorities in the event of any act of terrorism or instance of local, regional or national emergency.
Personal information and other details collected from you may also be transferred to a third party as a result of a sale, acquisition, merger, reorganization, other transfer or bankruptcy (a "Transfer") involving us and/or our affiliates. We specifically reserve the right to transfer personal information collected from boatstobuy, and any of its databases, together with any personal information contained therein, to a third party in connection with a Transfer, and nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to interfere with our ability to transfer all or part of our business and/or assets (including boatstobuy) to an affiliate or independent third party at any time, for any purpose, without any limitation whatsoever.
Please note that, although we use security measures to keep your personal information anonymous, no security measure is perfect or impenetrable. In addition, due to the existing environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personal information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose personal information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Therefore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary within this Privacy Policy, the Terms of Use or boatstobuy, you use boatstobuy at your own risk and we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private.

You shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and our officers, directors, shareholders, employees, independent contractors, agents, representatives and affiliates from and against all claims and expenses, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, arising out of, or attributable to: (i) any breach or violation of this Agreement by you; (ii) your failure to provide accurate, complete and current personal information requested or required by us; (iii) your access or use of boatstobuy; (iv) access or use of boatstobuy under any password that may be issued to you; and/or (v) your transmissions, submissions or postings (i.e., your own User Generated Content).
Amendments of this Agreement
We reserve the right to update, amend and/or change this Agreement at any time in our sole discretion and without notice. Updates to this Agreement will be posted here. You are encouraged to revisit this Agreement from time to time in order to review any changes that have been made. Our last update was September 12, 2007. Your continued access and use of boatstobuy following the posting of any such changes shall automatically be deemed your acceptance of all changes.
Our Remedies
You acknowledge that we may be irreparably damaged if this Agreement is not specifically enforced, and damages at law would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement by you, we shall be entitled, in addition to all rights and remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post an injunction bond, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section, you agree that any action or proceeding with regard to such injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach shall be brought in the courts in Connecticut. You consent to the jurisdiction of such court and waive any objection to the laying of the venue of any such action or proceeding in such court. You agree that service of any court paper may be effected on such party by mail or in such other manner as may be provided under applicable laws, rules of procedure or local rules.
Governing Law; Arbitration
You agree that: (i) boatstobuy shall be deemed solely based in the State of Connecticut; and (ii) boatstobuy shall be deemed a passive website that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than the State of Connecticut. This Agreement is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard for principles of conflicts of laws. Any civil action, claim, dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, except for an injunctive action regarding a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement by you as provided above, shall be referred to final and binding arbitration, before a single arbitrator, under the commercial arbitration rules of the state of Connecticut.
THEREFORE, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS AND YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTIONS. By using boatstobuy you consent to these restrictions.
You and we shall select the arbitrator, and if you and we are unable to reach agreement on selection of the arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the notice of arbitration is served, then the American Arbitration Association shall select the arbitrator. Arbitration shall not commence until the party requesting it has deposited One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) with the arbitrator for the arbitrator's fees and costs. The party requesting arbitration shall advance such sums as are required from time to time by the arbitrator to pay the arbitrator's fees and costs until the prevailing party is determined or the parties have agreed in writing to an alternate allocation of fees and costs.
Should a Dispute arise and should the arbitration provisions herein become inapplicable or unenforceable, or in any instance of any lawsuit between you and us, jurisdiction over and venue of any suit shall be exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Connecticut.
Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final, binding and conclusive upon you and us and your and our respective administrators, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns, and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, in no event shall either you or we be entitled to punitive damages and both you and we hereby waive your and our respective rights to any punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, damages for any loss of profit, revenue or business.
Miscellaneous
If any portion of this Agreement is deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, this Agreement as a whole shall not be deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable, but only that portion of this Agreement that is unlawful, void or unenforceable shall be stricken from this Agreement.
The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of this Agreement, and shall not limit or otherwise affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in this Agreement, as may be amended by us from time to time, shall survive your acceptance of this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement.
This Agreement and our Privacy Policy represent the entire understanding and agreement between you and us regarding the subject matter of the same, and supersede all other previous agreements, understandings and/or representations regarding the same.
