Terms of Use

Welcome to the Seareviews website, mobile properties and/or the products and services offered by Seareviews located at www.seareviews.com (collectively “Services” or “Service”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Services are all owned and controlled by Seareviews.

The Services are provided by SeaReviews B.V. registered at De Nieuwe Erven 3, 13355, 5431NV Cuijk under registration number 97740993 (“Seareviews”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

By creating a Seareviews account, you agree to be bound by the terms, conditions and notices set forth below (collectively, this “Agreement”). This Agreement does not apply to if you merely browse the websites or use the Services without creating a Seareviews account. Please read this Agreement carefully, as it contains information concerning your legal rights and limitations on these rights, as well as a section regarding applicable law and jurisdiction of disputes. If you are a consumer in the EU or UK you have a legal right to withdraw from this Agreement within 14 days of the Agreement being made. You can do this, or terminate this Agreement at any other time, by closing your account. Access your account whilst you are logged in, click on “Settings” and then push the “Delete Account” button.

If you are a consumer in the EU or UK you will have certain statutory consumer rights. If you are a consumer living elsewhere, you may also have consumer rights under the laws of your territory. Nothing in this Agreement affects your statutory consumer rights.

Any information, text, links, graphics, logos, advertisements, comments, opinions, postings, salaries, messages, files, works of authorship, photos, audio, video, data, code or other materials or arrangements of materials that you can view on, access or otherwise interact with through the Services shall be referred to as “Content”.

The term “you” or “User” refers to the individual, which has created a Seareviews account and uses the Services and/or contributes Content to them (including Management Users). The Content that you contribute, submit, transmit and/or post to or through the Services shall be referred to variously as “your Content”, “Content of yours” and/or “Content you submit.”

Eligibility to Use the Services

To access or use the Services, you must be at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. The Services are for your personal use. You may not use the Services if we’ve terminated your account or banned you.

User accounts

In order to access certain features of the Services, you must create an account. When you set up an account to access the Services you may include personal data. You agree that the personal data and any other information you include in your account is accurate. You shall keep it accurate and up-to-date at all times.

You are responsible for safeguarding your account, and you accept responsibility for all activities that occur via your account. Seareviews excludes itself from any liability for third-party actions made via your account. You agree to notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account or access to your password.

You may delete your account at any time by accessing your account whilst you are logged in and selecting the “Settings” tab followed by pressing the “Delete Account” button. This means that your account information will be permanently deleted. Your reviews will remain in the system, but are no longer associated with your account.

Workplace verification

By default, all reviews are published with an “unverified” label.

To enhance authenticity of the reviews and responses within the Interactive Areas on our Services, we provide a verification process that is optional for all Users.

• For regular crew members: We request you to upload the relevant page from your discharge book to verify whether you work(ed) at the workplace that you have reviewed. If we, at our sole discretion, decide additional verification is required, we will ask for a copy of your employment contract. If the verification is declared successful, your reviews to the relevant Workplace Profile will display a green “verified” verified and will count towards the workplace’s overall rating.
• For ship management: To verify whether you are part of the workplace’s management listed on our Services, we request you to email us at info@seareviews.com from the same email address you signed up to our Services. Ensure that your email includes an official signature including your role and yacht details. We may also request additional information in order to verify your position onboard (such as the relevant page from your discharge book and your employment contract). If your verification is declared successful, you are marked as an authorized User that is part of the workplace’s management listed on our Services (“Management Users”).

Seareviews reserve the right to: (i) request additional information in order to verify your position onboard; and (ii) at our sole discretion, decide whether the verification is successful.

All documents submitted as part of the verification process or any other official procedure must be valid, genuine, accurate, and unaltered. Submitting forged, falsified, or otherwise fraudulent documents is strictly prohibited. Violations of this Agreement (including this section) may result in the rejection of the verification process and a temporary suspension from submitting Content to our Services; further violations will result in a permanent suspension of the Services.

The verification process must be completed by the individual to whom it pertains. No third party may carry out the verification on behalf of another person, regardless of their relationship or authorization. Any attempt to circumvent this requirement may result in the rejection of the verification request or additional scrutiny.

Please see the FAQs to understand how to verify.

Use of the Services

As a condition of your use of the Services, you agree that all information supplied by you via the Services to Seareviews is true, accurate, current and complete.

You shall not share your login credentials (the combination of your email address and password) with anyone, nor shall you allow anyone to access your account and share Content on the Services from your account.

If you are a consumer resident in the EU or the UK, we may deny you access to the Services if you violate this Agreement. If you are not a consumer resident in the EU or the UK, we retain the right at our sole discretion to deny you access to the Services, at any time and for any reason, including, but not limited to, for violation of this Agreement.

By using the Services that facilitate the sharing of Content, you understand that you are solely responsible for any information that you share with the Seareviews. You may access the Services solely as intended through the provided functionality of the Services and as permitted under this Agreement.

To Management Users only, we may offer the ability to get additional features (such as to respond to User reviews placed on the Workplace Profile). We are not responsible for actions taken by Management Users. Management Users are not, and may not represent that they are, authorised to act on behalf of Seareviews. We reserve the right to revoke or limit the additional features for Management Users at any time and for any reason or no reason, including for breaching this Agreement.

The Services contain Content provided by us and our Users. We and our Users own and retain all proprietary and intellectual property rights in the Content we each provide and Seareviews owns and retains all rights in the Services. If you’re an authorised User, we hereby grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license under the rights licensable by us to use the Services and use Content from our Services solely for your personal use in connection with the Services.

Except as provided in this clause, you agree not to: (i) rent, lease, loan, or sell access to the Services; and (ii) copying, transmission, reproduction, replication, posting or redistribution of (a) Content or any portion thereof and/or (b) the Services more generally is strictly prohibited without the prior written permission of Seareviews.

Content anonymity and identity of our Users

Your account information is not visible for other Users and the public. This means that if you share Content on our Services, your reviews are never publicly linked to your account.

However, you acknowledge that Seareviews cannot guarantee your anonymity as this is dependent on the information you share in your Content (e.g. job title, time onboard, specific trips you worked on). This may allow someone to identify you or narrow down your identity to a small group of people.

Your Content on our Services

By providing your Content to or through our Services, you grant Seareviews a worldwide nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, transferable, irrevocable and fully sublicensable right to (a) host, use, reproduce, copy, modify, run, adapt, translate, transmit, distribute, publish, perform, create derivative works from and publicly display and perform such Content of yours throughout the world in any and all media, now known or hereafter devised; (b) make your Content available to the rest of the world and to let others do the same; (c) to provide, promote, and improve the Services and to make your Content shared on the Services available to other companies, organisations or individuals for the syndication, broadcast, distribution, promotion or publication of such Content of yours on other media and services, subject to our Privacy Notice and this Agreement; and (d) use the name and/or trademark that you submit in connection with your Content. You acknowledge that Seareviews may choose to provide attribution of your Content at our reasonable discretion.

• To the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby expressly agree not to assert your moral rights (including rights of attribution or integrity) in a way that would interfere with Seareviews’ use of your Content under this license.
• No compensation will be paid with respect to the Content that you submit through the Services.
• You should only submit Content to the Services that you are comfortable sharing with others under this Agreement.

You acknowledge and agree that your Content is non-confidential and non-proprietary. You agree that you own or have the necessary licences, rights (including copyright and other proprietary rights), consents and permissions to publish and otherwise use (and for Seareviews to publish and otherwise use) your Content as authorised under this Agreement. You further grant Seareviews the right to pursue at law any person or entity that violates your or Seareviews’ rights in your Content by a breach of this Agreement.

The Services may contain review services and other forums in which you may post your Content, including but not limited to Workplace Profiles (“Interactive Areas”). If Seareviews provides such Interactive Areas on the Services, you are solely responsible for your use of such Interactive Areas and use them at your own risk. Seareviews does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to any of your Content you provide to the Services or in any Interactive Area.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seareviews take no responsibility and assume no liability for any Content posted, stored, transmitted or uploaded to the Services by you (in the case of your Content) or any third party (in the case of any and all Content more generally), or for any loss or damage thereto, nor is Seareviews liable for any mistakes, defamation, slander, libel, omissions, falsehoods, obscenity, pornography or profanity you may encounter. As a provider of interactive services, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Seareviews is not liable for any statements, representations or any other Content provided by its Users (including you as to your Content) in the websites or any other forum. Although Seareviews has no obligation to screen, edit or monitor any of the Content posted to or distributed through any Interactive Area, Seareviews reserves the right, and has reasonable discretion to remove, screen, translate or edit without notice any Content posted or stored on the Services at any time and for any reason, or to have such actions performed by third parties on their behalf. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you are solely responsible for creating backup copies of and replacing any Content you post or otherwise submit to us or store on the Services at your sole cost and expense.
