Website and referral service

Terms of Use

These terms govern your use of Seychelles Marine Survey and explain the distinction between our introduction service and the independent professional services supplied by a surveyor.

Last updated: 24 July 2026

1. About these terms

These Terms of Use apply to seychellesmarinesurvey.com and the Seychelles Marine Survey information and referral service. By using the website or submitting an enquiry, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

2. Operator

Seychelles Marine Survey is operated by TB Boat Services Ltd, Office Q1-2-095, Gold Park, SAIF Zone, P.O. Box 7751, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.

Contact: contact@marinesurveyinternational.com.

3. Nature of the service

Seychelles Marine Survey provides information and may introduce a client to one or more independent marine surveyors or survey businesses. We do not perform the survey and do not become the surveyor, classification society, flag administration, insurer, lender, broker or contracting professional.

An introduction is not a recommendation, warranty or guarantee of competence, availability, price, independence, regulatory authority or report acceptance. You remain responsible for selecting, appointing and instructing the surveyor.

4. Independent surveyor appointment

Before appointing a surveyor, you should confirm:

  • the exact client, purpose, scope and limitations of the survey;
  • the surveyor's experience with the vessel type, material and size;
  • professional qualifications, memberships and insurance;
  • fees, expenses, travel, haul-out and sea-trial arrangements;
  • report format, timing and permitted reliance;
  • conflicts of interest and independence; and
  • any appointment or acceptance required by a flag, registry, classification society, insurer, lender or other organization.

Professional membership is not automatically equivalent to flag or statutory approval. Acceptance must be verified for the particular vessel and assignment.

5. Contract with the surveyor

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, the professional survey contract is directly between you and the selected surveyor. The surveyor is responsible for their proposal, terms of engagement, inspection, report, advice, professional duties, fees and insurance.

TB Boat Services Ltd is not a party to that professional contract and does not control the surveyor's methods or conclusions.

6. Your responsibilities

You agree to:

  • provide accurate and complete enquiry information;
  • have authority to provide vessel and contact information;
  • notify the surveyor of known defects, deadlines and intended report use;
  • arrange lawful vessel access, permissions and attendance;
  • agree responsibility for lift, wash, sea-trial, skipper and specialist costs;
  • review the surveyor's terms before appointment; and
  • use the website and communications lawfully.

7. Information on the website

Website content is general information and is not legal, insurance, financial, registration, classification or technical survey advice. Requirements and professional availability can change. You should obtain confirmation from the relevant surveyor, insurer, lender, registry, flag administration or other accepting body.

We aim to keep information useful and accurate but do not promise that all content is complete, current or suitable for a particular vessel.

8. Quotations, fees and availability

Any survey quotation, availability statement or proposed scope comes from the relevant independent provider unless we expressly state otherwise. Travel, haul-out, sea trial, laboratory work and specialist attendance may be separate costs.

The current website does not take payment. Any future referral or administrative fee will be disclosed separately before it becomes payable.

9. Prohibited use

You must not:

  • use the service for an unlawful, fraudulent or misleading purpose;
  • submit malicious code, automate abusive requests or interfere with security;
  • misrepresent your identity or authority;
  • scrape, republish or commercially exploit the website without permission;
  • infringe intellectual-property, privacy or other rights; or
  • use contact information for unsolicited marketing.

10. Intellectual property

The website's original content, branding, layout, graphics and software are owned by or licensed to TB Boat Services Ltd and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may view and print reasonable extracts for your personal or internal business use. No other right is granted.

11. Third-party links and communications

Links to surveyors, WhatsApp, email, registries or other third-party services are provided for convenience. Those services have their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for third-party websites or communication platforms.

12. Website availability

We may change, suspend or withdraw part of the website for operational, security or legal reasons. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability.

13. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including mandatory consumer rights or liability for fraud.

To the extent permitted by law, TB Boat Services Ltd is not responsible for an independent surveyor's acts, omissions, availability, quotation, inspection, report, advice or professional services. We are also not responsible for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of the website or reliance on general website information.

Any liability will be assessed under applicable law and in light of the nature of the information or referral service actually supplied.

14. Privacy and cookies

Our Privacy Policy explains how personal data is handled. Our Cookie Policy explains the technologies used by the website.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms when the service or legal requirements change. The version published when you use the website applies to that use. A separate written agreement may apply to a specific paid service.

16. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the federal laws of the United Arab Emirates as applied in the Emirate of Sharjah. Subject to any mandatory consumer right to bring a claim elsewhere, the courts of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, will have jurisdiction over disputes relating to these terms or the website.

Before commencing formal proceedings, please contact us so the parties can attempt to resolve the matter promptly and in good faith.

17. General

If part of these terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms will continue to apply. A delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver of that right. We may assign these terms as part of a genuine transfer or reorganization of the service.
