Terms

Who you are dealing with

This page is operated by the operator of this site, trading as PiratesEye, a sole trader at a postal address available on request (operating as a sole trader). Card payments are processed by Stripe; I never see or store your card details.

Signing on is free

The Stowaway rank costs nothing and always will. It needs an email address, gives you a member number and a place on the manifest, and asks for no card. You can stay there indefinitely. Nothing below applies to you unless you choose to pay.

What you are paying for

Voluntary support for an independent creator. You are not buying a physical product, and nothing is shipped to you. One-off payments are exactly that. Monthly and yearly support renews automatically until you cancel.

Where a tier lists extras — early access, a monthly letter, a vote on what happens next — I intend to deliver them and I will tell you plainly if I cannot. They are a thank-you, not a contract for services, and the work itself may change: the machines, the country and the format are all subject to whatever breaks next.

Prices and currency

All amounts are charged in US dollars. Other currencies shown on the page are approximate conversions for guidance only — your bank decides the final amount and may add its own conversion fee.

Cancelling

Cancel any time from the billing page linked in the footer. You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. No notice period, no email to me required, no retention questionnaire.

Your member number

The number on your plate is yours permanently and is never reassigned to anyone else, even if you stop paying or unsubscribe. It carries no monetary value and cannot be transferred or sold. If you sign on free and pay later using the same email address, you keep your original number rather than being issued a second.

The manifest

Members appear on the public manifest by default, showing a first name, a surname initial, a nearest town, a member number and a rank. There is a checkbox at signup to stay off it, and you can ask to be removed at any time. See the privacy page for the detail.

Things I do not promise

• That any particular video, build or trip will happen.
• That the page will be available without interruption.
• That a perk will survive forever in its current form.

Age

You must be 18 or older, and using your own payment method, to pay through this page.

Law

These terms are governed by the law of Estonia. Nothing here removes consumer rights you have by law where you live.

Changes

If these terms change materially, active supporters are told before the next payment is taken.
