Last updated: November 17, 2025
These Platform Terms (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Navalapp platform — including our websites, applications, courses, memberships, community features, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). “Navalapp,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Blueheading Oy.
By creating an account, clicking “I agree,” or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
In short:
- You must be 18+ to hold an account and are responsible for it.
- Use the platform lawfully and follow our Acceptable Use Policy.
- Students receive a personal, non-commercial license to access purchased content.
- Creators are subject to a separate Instructor Agreement; see Section Instructors.
- We may update features; we’ll act reasonably and give notice when required.
- Refunds and billing follow Section Fees, Billing & Refunds; cancel before renewal to avoid new charges.
- We limit liability as permitted by law; Finnish law and Helsinki courts apply.
Accounts & Eligibility
Account. You must create an account with a valid email. One account per email. Keep your credentials confidential and notify us immediately of any unauthorized use. You are responsible for activity under your account except where caused by our breach of these Terms.
Age. You must be at least 18 to create an account. If you are under 18, you may only use the Services with the involvement and consent of a parent or guardian who holds the account.
One user per account. Do not share or transfer your account. We may close or reclaim usernames that are inactive or infringe rights.
Payment method. For paid offerings you must provide a valid payment method.
Closing your account. You may close your account at any time from your settings or by contacting us.
Instructors
If you create, upload, or submit instructional content such as courses, lectures, articles, or training materials on the Navalapp platform, you are considered an “Instructor.” In addition to these Platform Terms, the Instructor Agreement applies to your activities as an Instructor. The Instructor Agreement sets out our respective rights and obligations regarding intellectual property, compensation, quality standards, and confidentiality.
Navalapp may also enter into separate written agreements with individual Instructors for specific collaborations or projects. In the event of any inconsistency between these Platform Terms, the Instructor Agreement, and such a separate written agreement, the latter will prevail for the matters it expressly covers.
Changes to the Services
We may improve, add, modify, or remove features or functionality of the Services at any time in order to maintain or enhance performance, security, reliability, or user experience; to comply with law or regulatory requirements; to reflect changes in our offerings or business priorities; to address third-party dependencies; or to test and introduce new functionality. When reasonably possible and if a change materially affects your use of the Services, we will provide advance notice. If we discontinue material functionality you use, we will provide at least 30 days’ prior notice when reasonably possible (not required where doing so would create security or legal risk, would be unduly burdensome, or is prohibited by law).
Membership features. Features included in a membership plan may change from time to time, including additions, removals, or modifications of features, benefits, or access rights.
Privacy & Security
Privacy. Your personal information is handled as described in our Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy.
Security. We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information and the platform. You acknowledge that transmitting data over the internet involves risks outside our control.
Content handling. We access and process Member Content only to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Services, comply with law, or address support requests, in line with these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
Security issues. You may confidentially report security vulnerabilities to security@navalapp.com.
Your Responsibilities
Lawful use. You will use the Services in compliance with law and our Acceptable Use Policy.
Your Content & rights. You must have the rights necessary to upload or use Member Content and are responsible for it (including obtaining permissions for third-party materials). Don’t post content that infringes others’ rights or violates law.
Instructors & creators. If you submit courses or articles, you represent that you have the qualifications to provide them; you’ll maintain professional quality; and you’ll not circumvent the Services (e.g., framing or unauthorized distribution). You may not solicit or store students’ personal data outside the platform. You’ll use student data only to provide services within Navalapp and in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.
Academic integrity. You agree to participate in courses, assessments, assignments, projects, and evaluations honestly and in good faith. You will not engage in cheating, plagiarism, impersonation, unauthorized collaboration, use of prohibited materials or tools during assessments, or any conduct intended to obtain unearned credit or advantage. You will not share, publish, or distribute exam questions, assignment solutions, assessment materials, or any content intended for evaluation. Navalapp may restrict, revoke, or deny certificates, course credit, assessment outcomes, or platform access at any time if we determine that academic integrity has been violated. Instructors may report suspected misconduct, and Navalapp may investigate and take appropriate action consistent with these Terms and applicable program rules.
Backups. You are responsible for retaining copies of your own content. We provide reasonable safeguards but do not guarantee content preservation.
Fees, Billing & Refunds
Billing. Fees for memberships, courses, or other paid features are shown at checkout and are billed in advance of access (monthly or annually, where offered). You authorize us to charge your payment method for renewals and any applicable taxes.
Price changes. We may change prices prospectively with at least 30 days’ notice for renewing terms.
Taxes. Fees are exclusive of VAT and similar taxes, which may be charged where applicable.
Refunds. Unless stated otherwise at purchase: (i) payments are non-refundable; (ii) cancel before your renewal date to avoid future charges; (iii) course purchases are non-refundable once streaming or downloads begin. Nothing in these Terms affects any mandatory statutory rights you may have under applicable consumer-protection law (for example, withdrawal rights for certain distance contracts). Where such rights apply, we will comply with them.
Free Plans, Trials & Betas
We may offer free plans, trials, previews, or beta features (“No-Charge Products”). These are provided “as is,” may be changed or discontinued at any time, and may have limited or no support. No service level commitments apply to No-Charge Products. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all liability arising out of or relating to any No-Charge Products. Where such disclaimer is not permitted, our total aggregate liability for all No-Charge Products will not exceed €1 in total, regardless of the number of users or claims.
Suspension & Termination
Suspension. We may suspend access immediately if: (a) your use risks security, platform integrity, or legal exposure; (b) you materially breach these Terms or fail to pay; or (c) we are required by law. Fees may continue to accrue during suspension except to the extent the suspension is solely due to our error or breach of these Terms.
Termination by you. You may terminate by closing your account. This does not affect amounts already due.
Termination by us. We may terminate on 30 days’ notice for convenience, or immediately for cause (including but not limited to non-payment, persistent or material breach, unlawful activity, loss of a critical third-party license, or compliance with a legal requirement). After termination, your rights end and certain sections continue as stated below.
Inactivity and Account Closure
To maintain an active and focused community, Navalapp may close and delete accounts that have been inactive (no logins to the Services) for more than twelve (12) consecutive months. Where required by law, we will provide reasonable advance notice before closing an inactive account. Unsubscribing from marketing or newsletter communications alone does not close your account and will not, by itself, trigger deletion of your account.
You may also request account closure at any time in accordance with these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
Once an account (and associated data) has been deleted, it cannot be recovered.
Intellectual Property & Licenses
Your Content
You retain ownership of Member Content. You grant Navalapp a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, process, display, and otherwise use Member Content solely to operate, maintain, secure, support, market (where permitted), and improve the Services. Where we use Member Content for marketing or educational promotion under course or program terms, we will remove or anonymize personal information unless you have agreed to be identified.
Submitted Content from Instructors/Creators
For courses or articles you submit, you grant Navalapp the rights to offer, host, market (as permitted), deliver, and make the content available to members, including to add captions or accessibility adjustments. We may sublicense these rights to distribution partners solely to provide the Services. You may remove your content prospectively; existing licenses granted to enrolled users continue, and limited archival/marketing rights may survive as described in applicable program terms.
Service IP
The Services, underlying software, and all Navalapp marks and content are owned by Navalapp or its licensors. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Services for personal, non-commercial, educational use. No other rights are granted.
Content Access License
Your Membership Level (subscription, purchase, or renewal) determines the scope, features, and price of your access to the Services. By enrolling in a course or subscribing to a plan, and upon payment of all required fees, Navalapp grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable license to access and view the relevant content through our Services for your personal, non-commercial, educational use, subject to these Terms and any conditions stated at purchase.
Unless we expressly enable a download feature for specific items, you may not download, copy, record, redistribute, transmit, sell, rent, lend, modify, adapt, edit, create derivative works of, sublicense, or publicly display course content.
Course availability. We may update or discontinue courses (e.g., because content is outdated, instructors become unavailable, or for legal/technical/economic reasons). Where reasonably possible, we will provide notice (e.g., up to six months for material discontinuations) so that you can complete the course and obtain any applicable certificate of completion. After the discontinuation date, access to the affected course and its materials will end. Course discontinuation does not entitle you to a refund unless required by applicable law or stated otherwise at purchase.
Navalapp may restrict or revoke access if required by law or policy (for example, upon a copyright complaint) or if we reasonably believe the Services are being misused (e.g., account sharing, bulk downloads, or infringement) consistent with these Terms and our Acceptable Use Policy. “Lifetime access,” where offered, applies to course content itself, not to ancillary features (such as instructor assistance or Q&A), which may be modified or withdrawn at any time.
Instructor availability. Instructor interaction (such as Q&A, feedback, or mentoring) may vary over time and is not guaranteed. Instructor participation may be modified, reduced, or discontinued at any time, even where previously offered.
Certificates & Accreditation
Navalapp may issue certificates of completion for certain eligible courses, programs, or learning paths. These certificates acknowledge participation and completion within the Navalapp platform.
Navalapp is not an accredited institution, and our certificates do not confer academic credit or formal qualification. Recognition of certificates by employers, educational institutions, or professional organizations is at their discretion.
Restrictions
You will not: (a) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Services; (b) reverse engineer except where permitted by law; (c) bypass usage limits or fees; (d) resell or sublicense the Services; (e) remove proprietary notices; (f) use the Services to build a competing product; or (g) publicly disclose performance tests; or (h) assist others to do so. Use of Navalapp marks requires our prior written consent.
Suggestions
If you provide feedback or suggestions, we may use them without restriction or obligation to you.
Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability
Disclaimers. The Services (including No-Charge Products) are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage. We do not warrant uninterrupted, secure, or error-free operation.
No professional advice. Content on the Services is provided for general educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute professional, engineering, safety, classification, or regulatory advice, certification, or a substitute for independent technical judgment. Navalapp does not guarantee that any content, models, calculations, examples, or methodologies are suitable for any particular real-world application. You are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy, applicability, and compliance of any information or materials for your specific projects and for consulting qualified professionals where appropriate. Navalapp disclaims all liability arising from the use or misuse of any such content.
Course models and technical examples. Any models, files, calculations, spreadsheets, datasets, or other technical examples provided through the Services are intended solely as illustrative learning materials. They have not been reviewed, tested, or approved for real-world engineering, safety, stability, aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, performance, regulatory, structural, or construction purposes. If you nevertheless choose to apply any such materials in real-world projects, you acknowledge that you do so entirely at your own discretion and risk. You remain solely responsible for all verification, validation, compliance checks, and professional assessments required for safe and lawful use. Navalapp, its instructors, affiliates, and licensors disclaim all liability for any direct or indirect loss, damage, or consequences arising from such use.
Limitation. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Navalapp and its affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or loss of profits, revenues, goodwill, data, or business interruption. Our aggregate liability for claims arising out of or relating to the Services will not exceed the amount you paid to Navalapp for the Service giving rise to the claim during the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
Indemnification. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Navalapp and its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) Member Content you upload or provide; (b) your violation of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy; or (c) your infringement or misappropriation of any third-party rights.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. We will post updates here and, where required, provide notice (e.g., email, in-product message). Changes take effect when posted or, where notice is required, as stated in the notice. If you continue using the Services after the effective date, you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Services and close your account.
Miscellaneous
Governing law & venue. These Terms are governed by Finnish law. Courts in Helsinki, Finland, have exclusive jurisdiction.
Order of precedence. If there is a conflict between these Platform Terms and any other Navalapp terms or policies that apply to the Services (including the Acceptable Use Policy, Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy, and any applicable Instructor Agreement or separate written agreement), the order of precedence will be:
(1) any separate written agreement for the matters it expressly covers;
(2) the Instructor Agreement for your activities as an Instructor; and
(3) these Platform Terms and incorporated policies.
To the extent a document higher in this order of precedence does not address a particular matter, the next document in the hierarchy will govern that matter.
Electronic communications. We may communicate with you electronically (email, in-product notices, or posting on our site). Such communications satisfy legal writing requirements unless mandatory law requires another form.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign to an affiliate, in a reorganization, or as part of a merger or asset transfer.
No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.
Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delays or failures due to events beyond reasonable control.
Independent contractors. The parties are independent contractors.
Severability; no waiver. If a provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Failure to enforce is not a waiver.
Entire agreement. These Terms incorporate referenced policies (e.g., Privacy, Cookies, Acceptable Use, Instructor Agreement where applicable) and form the entire agreement for the Services, superseding prior understandings on this subject.
Publicity (B2B only). We may identify your organization as a Navalapp customer; you can opt out by emailing privacy@navalapp.com.
Export & sanctions compliance. You agree to comply with all applicable export, re-export, and sanctions laws and regulations of Finland, the European Union, the United States, and other relevant jurisdictions. You may not access or use the Services in, or for the benefit of, any country or person subject to trade sanctions or other restrictions. If you become subject to such restrictions, you must notify Navalapp without undue delay. Navalapp may suspend or terminate access to the Services where required by applicable law or government order.
