  • Price Adjustments – Seavium may revise subscription rates after the initial term with 30 days’ notice.

8 bis. Co-Brokerage Framework

When a company registers on Seavium using a verified professional domain, and its registration is validated by both professional email and telephone verification, the entire company (including all associated users under that domain) acknowledges and accepts Seavium’s standard co-brokerage framework, defined as follows:

  • Unless otherwise agreed in writing for a specific project, all brokerage operations conducted via or facilitated by Seavium are based on a 50 / 50 commission split between Seavium and the external Broker involved.

  • The commission shall not exceed 2.5 % of the net (ex-VAT) operation amount, unless a written amendment or explicit Commission Agreement has been mutually signed or confirmed by email for that specific operation.

  • This co-brokerage principle is deemed accepted by the registering company upon creation of an account using its verified corporate domain.

  • Any deviation from the above must be expressly approved in writing by Seavium prior to the commencement of the operation.

9. Communication & Marketing

By registering with a professional email address, Users consent to receive communications regarding Seavium’s products, services, and events.
Seavium may publicly refer to a User’s company as a platform client if at least one employee is registered, unless the company opts out via sales@seavium.com.

10. Liability, Warranty & Indemnification

  • User Due Diligence – Users are responsible for verifying vessel certifications, insurance, and contract terms directly with Owners.

  • Limitation of Liability – Seavium shall not be liable for financial losses, data errors, downtime, cyberattacks, force majeure events, or vessel performance issues. Indirect, special, or consequential damages are excluded.

  • Indemnification – Users agree to defend, indemnify and hold Seavium harmless from any third-party claims arising from their use of the platform or disputes between Owners and Charterers.

  • No Warranty – Seavium is provided “as is” without any express or implied warranty of fitness, availability or reliability.

11. Intellectual Property

All platform content —including text, design, software code, and databases— is the exclusive property of Seavium.
Any unauthorized extraction or reproduction of non-public data is strictly forbidden and may result in legal action.

12. Suspension & Termination

Seavium may suspend or terminate User access immediately in case of false information, illegal use, platform circumvention, or non-payment.
Users may close their account at any time but remain liable for all fees until the end of their subscription period.
Upon termination, User data will be deleted (subject to legal retention requirements).

13. Confidentiality

Confidential information exchanged through Seavium (commercial details, contacts, conditions, etc.) may not be disclosed or used for other purposes without written consent.
Both parties commit to maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive information shared during their collaboration.

14. Dispute Resolution & Jurisdiction

The parties shall first attempt to resolve any dispute amicably.
Failing that, disputes shall be governed by French law and submitted exclusively to the competent courts of Marseille, France.
For international matters, the parties may elect to use arbitration under a recognized arbitral institution and rules agreed upon in writing.

15. Force Majeure

Seavium is not liable for any service interruptions caused by events beyond its reasonable control (e.g., natural disasters, cyberattacks, governmental actions, or network failures).

16. Amendments

Seavium may amend these Terms at any time. Users will be informed by email, and continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

17. Final Provisions

  • Data Accuracy – Users are fully responsible for the accuracy and legality of the data they submit.

  • Platform Bypass Prohibition – Completing a charter outside Seavium after using it to source a vessel constitutes a breach and may lead to penalties.
