1. Agreement to These Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Ship Crew Agency website and the information, inquiry forms, and content made available through it (the "Site"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
Engagement of our crew manning and recruitment services is governed by a separate written manning or service agreement. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a signed service agreement, the service agreement prevails for the services it covers.
2. About Our Services
Ship Crew Agency is a maritime crew manning and recruitment agency. The Site provides general information about our services, crew categories, compliance practices, and a means to submit crew inquiries. Content on the Site is provided for general information only and does not constitute a binding offer, a guarantee of crew availability, or professional, legal, or compliance advice.
3. Eligibility and Acceptable Use
You may use the Site only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:
- Use the Site in any way that breaches applicable laws or regulations.
- Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information, including in crew inquiry forms.
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site, its servers, or connected systems.
- Introduce malicious code, or interfere with the proper operation or security of the Site.
- Use automated means to scrape, harvest, or collect data from the Site without our consent.
4. Crew Inquiries and Submissions
When you submit a crew inquiry or other information, you confirm that the information is accurate and that you are authorised to provide it. Submitting an inquiry does not create a contract for services or any obligation on us to supply crew. Any engagement will be confirmed only through a separate written agreement and proposal.
Personal data submitted through the Site is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
5. Intellectual Property
The Site and all of its content — including text, graphics, logos, the Ship Crew Agency name and marks, layout, and design — are owned by or licensed to the Company and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may view and print Site content for your own internal, non-commercial reference. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from the Site without our prior written permission.
6. Third-Party Links
The Site may contain links to third-party websites or resources. These are provided for convenience only. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site, and inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement. Accessing third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that any information on it is complete or current.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Site. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
9. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses arising out of your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.
10. Governing Law and Changes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Company is established, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, and the courts of that jurisdiction shall have jurisdiction over any dispute, subject to any mandatory consumer protections.
We may revise these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date indicates the latest revision, and continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. Questions about these Terms can be sent to info@shipcrewagency.com.
