LEGAL / USE

Terms of service

Effective date: 1 January 2026. These terms govern access to the informational website operated by Northstar Maritime Learning Ltd.

Acceptable use

Use the site lawfully and respectfully. Do not attempt to disrupt its operation, probe systems without authorisation, scrape personal information, introduce malicious code, impersonate another person or use content to support unsafe maritime activity. You remain responsible for checking current official information before making decisions on the water.

Educational content disclaimer

Articles are general educational information. They are not vessel-specific instruction, legal advice, navigational direction, emergency procedure, medical advice, professional certification or regulatory approval. Maritime conditions, course availability, local requirements and equipment guidance may change. Use qualified instructors, current weather information, vessel procedures and applicable local requirements.

Accuracy and availability

We aim to keep content clear, but no statement is guaranteed complete, current or suitable for a particular activity. Links and externally hosted images may change. The website may be modified, suspended or withdrawn without notice. A contact form confirmation does not mean a message was sent or that a course, appointment or service exists.

Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, the site structure, written copy, visual design and code are owned or controlled by Northstar Maritime Learning Ltd or used with permission. You may view the site for personal and internal informational use. Do not reproduce, resell, rebrand or distribute substantial portions without written permission. Third-party names, services and links remain subject to their owners’ rights.

Third-party websites

External websites are provided for convenience. We do not control their content, security, availability or terms. Review their policies before using them. A link is not an endorsement, accreditation statement or guarantee.

Liability and termination

To the extent permitted by law, Northstar Maritime Learning Ltd is not liable for indirect loss, reliance on educational content, operational decisions, service interruption or third-party material. Nothing excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded. We may restrict access where these terms are breached.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law applicable in England and Wales, subject to mandatory consumer protections in your place of residence. Parties should first contact us in writing to seek an informal resolution. Nothing prevents a person from using a court or statutory dispute route available by law.
