These terms govern your use of seawanderer.org. By accessing or using the site you accept them in full. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

We may revise these terms from time to time. The date above shows when they were last changed, and continued use of the site after a revision means you accept the updated terms.

You are welcome to read our content, share links to it, and quote short extracts with clear attribution and a link back to the original article. No permission is needed for that.

You may not:

• Republish whole articles or substantial parts of them without written permission
• Systematically harvest, scrape or copy content from this site, including for the purpose of training machine learning models, without written permission
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site, its servers or any connected system
• Introduce malicious code, or use the site in any way that disrupts it or degrades it for other readers
• Use the site for any unlawful purpose

Some parts of the site require an account. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity that takes place under your account.

Tell us immediately if you believe your account has been accessed without your authorisation.

We may suspend or terminate an account that is used in breach of these terms.

Certain content is available only to subscribers. The price, billing period and renewal arrangements applicable to a subscription are set out at the point of purchase, and those terms form part of the agreement between us.

You may cancel a subscription from your account at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

Consumers resident in the EEA have a statutory right of withdrawal in respect of distance contracts. Where digital content is supplied immediately with your express consent, that right may not apply. The applicable terms are presented to you before you complete a purchase.

We give reasonable advance notice before any change to the price of an existing subscription.

We report carefully and correct errors of fact when we become aware of them. However, this is a news publication, and news is provisional by nature. We make no warranty that the content of this site is complete, current or free from error.

Nothing published on SeaWanderer constitutes professional, legal, technical, financial or commercial advice. Decisions concerning vessels, contracts, regulatory compliance, safety or investment must be based on qualified professional judgement and not on a news article.

Opinions expressed in articles and commentary are those of their authors.

All editorial content published on SeaWanderer — including text, headlines, layout, graphics and original photography — is protected by copyright and remains the property of the publisher or its licensors.

Third-party material, including company photographs, press imagery and syndicated content, remains the property of its respective owners and is used with permission or under applicable exceptions to copyright.

The SeaWanderer name, logo and visual identity are protected marks and may not be used without written permission.

If you send us material — a story tip, a photograph, a comment or any other content — you confirm that you have the right to do so and that the material does not infringe the rights of any third party.

By submitting material you grant us a non-exclusive right to publish, reproduce and distribute it in connection with the site, without payment unless separately agreed.

We are not obliged to publish anything submitted to us, and may edit or remove submitted material at our discretion.

This site carries advertising, and some content is sponsored. Sponsored material is always identified as such and is never presented as independent editorial coverage.

Advertisers have no influence over our editorial decisions. The presence of an advertisement is not an endorsement of the advertiser or its products.

We link to external websites where they are relevant to our reporting. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, their accuracy or their privacy practices. A link does not imply endorsement.

We aim to keep the site available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The site may be unavailable during maintenance, or for reasons beyond our control. We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the site without notice.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, this site — including loss of profit, loss of business, or business interruption.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

Personal data is handled as described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms. Questions can be sent through our contact page.

These terms are governed by Norwegian law, and disputes arising from them fall under the jurisdiction of the Norwegian courts.

If you are a consumer, you retain the benefit of any mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights.
