VIDA GreenSwitch - Digital Compliance Certificate Disclaimer

Effective Date: March 2026

VIDA GreenSwitch provides a digital compliance monitoring and reporting platform designed to assist vessel operators in managing environmental and operational compliance requirements.

Digital compliance certificates issued through the platform are generated based on data recorded within the system and compliance rules configured within the VIDA GreenSwitch regulatory engine.

Nature of Digital Certificates

Certificates issued through VIDA GreenSwitch serve as digital documentation confirming that recorded operational data meets configured compliance criteria within the system at the time of evaluation.

These certificates are designed to support:

  • operational compliance documentation
  • audit preparation
  • internal compliance management
  • verification of recorded compliance activities

Digital certificates do not replace statutory certificates issued by flag states, classification societies, or regulatory authorities.

No Substitute for Regulatory Certification

VIDA GreenSwitch certificates are not statutory maritime certificates and should not be interpreted as replacing:

  • Flag State certificates
  • Class society certificates
  • Port State Control approvals
  • Government regulatory authorizations

All vessels remain responsible for maintaining required statutory certifications from the appropriate maritime authorities.

Reliance on User-Provided Data

Digital certificates generated by VIDA GreenSwitch rely on operational data entered into the system by authorized users.

The accuracy of compliance evaluations depends on:

  • completeness of vessel data
  • correctness of operational logs
  • supporting evidence uploaded by users

VIDA GreenSwitch does not independently verify vessel operations unless external verification services are explicitly integrated.

Platform Role

VIDA GreenSwitch functions as a digital compliance support and monitoring system designed to assist maritime operators in managing regulatory obligations.

The platform provides tools for:

  • compliance tracking
  • audit readiness
  • operational documentation
  • digital evidence management

Responsibility for regulatory compliance remains with the vessel operator and shipowner.

Limitation of Liability

SeaFleet Backbone and the VIDA GreenSwitch platform shall not be liable for regulatory penalties, inspection outcomes, or operational decisions resulting from the use of system-generated compliance documentation.

Users are responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable maritime regulations.

Updates to the Disclaimer

This disclaimer may be updated periodically to reflect regulatory or platform changes.

Continued use of VIDA GreenSwitch constitutes acceptance of the updated disclaimer.
