Terms & Conditions

The content of this website is provided for general information about our services. It does not constitute technical, legal, class or flag-state advice, and no client relationship arises from reading it or from sending an enquiry.

Text, imagery and layout on this site remain the property of Nautivera Maritime and may not be reproduced without written permission.

Submitting the contact form is an invitation to discuss work; it does not create a binding agreement. Quotations are valid for 30 days unless stated otherwise, and work starts only after a written scope, rate and timeline have been confirmed by both parties.

We provide remote support: operational coordination, documentation preparation and review, research, reporting and administrative assistance. We are not a class society, flag administration, surveyor, crewing agency or insurer, and we do not issue statutory certification.

Deliverables are prepared on the basis of the information and documents supplied by the client. The client remains responsible for verifying accuracy against the vessel's own records and for all operational and commercial decisions.

The client agrees to supply accurate, complete and lawfully obtained information, to respond to reasonable requests for clarification, and to hold any licences or permissions required for the work to be carried out.

Fees are agreed in advance as an hourly rate, a fixed project fee or a monthly retainer, exclusive of VAT where applicable. Invoices are payable within 14 days of the invoice date unless another term is agreed in writing. Statutory interest and reasonable collection costs may be charged on overdue amounts.

All vessel, commercial and crew information shared with us is treated as confidential and used only for the agreed work. A non-disclosure agreement can be signed before any documents are exchanged. This obligation continues after the engagement ends.

Personal data submitted through this website is handled as described in our Privacy & Data Protection notice, in line with the GDPR. Where we process personal data on behalf of a client, a data processing agreement is put in place.

We perform our work with the care expected of a professional maritime consultancy. Our total liability for any engagement is limited to the fees paid for the work that gave rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profit, hire, charter opportunity or delay costs.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for intent or deliberate recklessness.

Either party may end an engagement with 14 days' written notice. Work completed and costs committed up to the termination date remain payable.

These terms are governed by Dutch law. Disputes are submitted to the competent court in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

We may update these terms to reflect changes in our services or legal requirements. The version published on this page at the time an engagement is agreed applies to that engagement.
