Membership for the NE/USA does not extend into the next year. The full range of the NE/USA membership is currently from May 1 to November 1 of the same calendar year and you can sign-up anytime in between. (NOTE:The NE/USA membership fee will not allow members access to the Florida areas. Florida will have its own separate membership fee).

Membership for all Florida areas will be on a continuing (6) month or yearly basis and can and will extend into the next calendar year in many and most cases. We may still make amendment's to this schedule as we have not yet begun to service the Florida areas yet. (NOTE: The membership fee for Florida will be separate from the NE fee and will not allow Florida members into the NE/USA member sections).

As a member you are entitled to enter the members area to view and download current and archived charts. You are also entitled to use the use the "Oceanview" chart viewing program for no additional cost.

Refund Policy…

Due to the unique nature of our product the membership fee is non refundable. Oceantemp™ Satellite Imaging will not give refunds for bad weather conditions that result in charts that are unusable due to cloud cover. Our experience has shown that clouds can prevent us from getting useable satellite data for days and even weeks at a time! We have no control over the weather. In rare cases a refund may be granted however the decision rests exclusively with Oceantemp™. If you have a problem, call us or e-mail us and we will do our best to resolve the issue. We will not leave you stranded.

In the event that a refund is granted then it will be made by check only and sent via US Mail. (Exception,,, if a customer accidentally double charges him or herself while attempting to purchase a membership online, we will Immediately electronically credit their account).

The Product…

The charts displayed on the samples are identical in scale and size to the actual real-time products. The actual real-time products however may have more or less clouds depending on the weather. Oceantemp™ will make every effort to post all area charts at least once per day throughout the season. We double check all data and afterwards manually inspect each chart and provide enhancement if necessary. We will do our best to ensure that the charts are as accurate and useful as possible and to get you what you need at a price that is affordable.

Problems beyond our control...

Oceantemp™ depends on several highly technical sources for data content and data delivery including the NOAA satellites themselves. Oceantemp™ however can accept no liability for satellite malfunctions, delays or unavailability of such data for any reason beyond Oceantemp's control.
