Terms of Service

Last updated: September 2026

1. Acceptance of terms

By creating a SeaPath account or using the SeaPath service, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, you may not use SeaPath.

SeaPath is operated by SEAPATH LIMITED, a company registered in the United Kingdom. References to "we", "us" and "our" in these terms mean SEAPATH LIMITED.

2. Description of service

SeaPath is a career management platform for seafarers. It provides tools to track sea service, monitor progress toward maritime qualifications, manage certificates, study for exams, and generate supporting documents.

SeaPath is a personal organisational tool. It is not an official record-keeping authority, an MCA-approved system, or a substitute for official examination, assessment, or verification by maritime authorities, employers, or Masters.

3. Important limitations — sea service records

SeaPath uses AIS data and your own entries to build a supporting picture of your sea service. This is not official verification. All sea service records produced by SeaPath:

  • Rely on AIS data that may be incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate
  • Must be reviewed and verified by your Master, employer, or the relevant authority before being used for any official purpose
  • Do not replace signed sea service testimonials required by the MCA or other authorities
  • Do not constitute proof of qualification, eligibility, or compliance

Always confirm your qualifying sea service with the MCA, your employer, and the examining body before making any application.

4. Account responsibilities

You are responsible for:

  • Keeping your account credentials secure
  • The accuracy of information you enter into SeaPath
  • Using the service in accordance with these terms and applicable law

You must not use SeaPath to create false or misleading records, misrepresent sea service, or submit inaccurate information to any authority.

5. Subscriptions and payments

SeaPath offers a free tier and paid subscription plans (Plus and Pro). Current prices are displayed in the app and on the SeaPath website.

Web subscriptions are processed by Stripe. iOS subscriptions are processed through the Apple App Store. Billing, refunds, and cancellation are subject to Stripe's and Apple's terms respectively.

Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled before the renewal date. You can cancel at any time via your account settings or through the App Store.

6. Intellectual property

SeaPath and its content, including the software, design, study questions, and compiled data, are owned by SEAPATH LIMITED and protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights. You may not copy, reproduce, or distribute any part of the service without written permission.

Your own sea service data, certificates, and personal records remain yours. SeaPath does not claim ownership of data you upload or enter.

7. Third-party data sources

SeaPath uses Kpler for AIS vessel data. This data is provided "as is" and SeaPath makes no guarantees about its completeness, accuracy, or suitability for any particular purpose. Kpler's data is subject to their own terms and licensing.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SEAPATH LIMITED shall not be liable for:

  • Any inaccuracy in sea service records, Career Pathway calculations, or certificate tracking
  • Any failure to qualify for, obtain, or maintain any maritime certification
  • Loss of data, service interruptions, or unavailability of features
  • Any decision made on the basis of SeaPath's records or calculations

SeaPath is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

9. Termination

You may delete your account at any time. SeaPath reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, are used for fraudulent purposes, or are otherwise abused.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We'll notify you of material changes via email or in-app notice. Continued use of SeaPath after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
