DPS
Safety Information, Customer Responsibility, and Disclaimer
The dynamic positioning system (DPS) provided by Dockmate is designed to help captains in keeping vessel position and heading. While the system is designed to enhance operation, safety and efficiency, it is important to recognize that the ultimate responsibility for the safe operation of the vessel and its compliance with all applicable maritime legislation, rules and regulations, remains with the operator/user of the DPS and the vessel. By using the DPS, the operator/user acknowledges and agrees to the following: Operator Responsibility: The operator of the vessel is solely responsible for its safe navigation, operation, and maneuvering, regardless of the use or help provided by the dynamic positioning system.

Situational Awareness:
The DPS is a tool to aid navigation and should not replace the need for the operator to always keep vigilant situational awareness at all times. System Limitations: The DPS may have limitations and may not function optimally under all conditions, including but not limited to GPS signal strength, adverse weather, rough seas, restricted navigational environments and other external variables. It is the responsibility of the operator to recognize these limitations and act accordingly.

Manual Override:
The operator should be prepared to manually override the DPS if necessary, particularly in emergency situations, if operation of the DPS would be limited or unsafe under the circumstances, or if the system would malfunction for any reason under the circumstances.

Compliance with maritime regulations:
It is the responsibility of the operator to always adhere to all applicable maritime legislation, rules, and regulations and safety procedures. While this system provides additional assistance, it does not excuse the operator from the obligation to comply with all applicable maritime legislation, rules and regulations.

Calibration:
Calibration of the DPS is essential to ensure its proper functioning. The operator should follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

Software updates:
Software updates may be necessary to ensure optimal performance. It is the operator’s responsibility to have these updates performed according to Dockmate’s instructions.

Assumption of Risk:
The use of the DPS involves inherent risks, and the operator assumes full responsibility for any consequences arising from its use. Therefore, Dockmate accepts no liability for any injury, damage, or loss resulting from the use of the DPS.

Disclaimer

By using the DPS provided by Dockmate, the user acknowledges that they have read and understood this disclaimer and agrees to accept all associated risks and responsibilities. Dockmate shall not be liable for any damages or liabilities arising from the use of the DPS, to the fullest extent permitted by law; consequently, there is no exoneration of liability for an intentional mistake by Dockmate. In any case Dockmate’s liability shall be
capped, it cannot be held liable for more than what is covered by its insurance policy.
