1. About these terms
These terms of use govern access to and use of oceanhire.co and its services (the “Platform”), operated by OceanHire SARL (“OceanHire”, “we”). By creating an account or using the Platform, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the Platform.
2. The service
OceanHire connects candidates for cruise ship and maritime jobs with employers. Candidates can create a profile, upload a CV and documents and apply to vacancies. Employers can publish vacancies, search anonymised candidate profiles and request introductions. OceanHire is not a party to the employment contract between a candidate and an employer, and does not guarantee that a candidate will be hired or that a vacancy will be filled.
3. Your account
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- The information you provide must be true, complete and kept up to date.
- One account per person or company. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for all activity on your account.
- You can close your account at any time from your profile or by writing to contact@oceanhire.co.
4. Rules for everyone
When using the Platform you must not:
- publish false, misleading or fraudulent information, documents or job offers;
- ask a candidate for money, directly or indirectly, in exchange for a job, an interview, a visa, training or a placement;
- use the Platform to discriminate, harass or exploit anyone;
- copy, extract or resell candidate data, or collect data by automated means (scraping, bots);
- impersonate another person or company, including OceanHire;
- try to break the security of the Platform or disrupt it.
5. Candidates
Using OceanHire is free for candidates. Our commitments to you, and yours to us, are set out in the candidate charter and no-fees policy.
6. Employers
Employers must also accept the employer terms, which set the rules for publishing vacancies and using candidate data.
7. Job offers
Vacancies are published under the responsibility of the employer. We review offers in good faith and may refuse or remove any offer, but we cannot verify every detail. Before accepting a job, always read your employment agreement carefully. If something looks wrong, contact us.
8. Fees
OceanHire never charges candidates. Services for employers are invoiced only under a separate written agreement or quote.
9. Content you upload
You keep ownership of your CV, documents and other content. You allow OceanHire to store, display and share them only as needed to run the service, in line with our privacy policy – for example, to show your anonymised profile to employers and to send your full profile to an employer when you apply or accept an introduction.
10. Suspension
We may suspend or close an account, or remove content, if these terms are breached, if we suspect fraud or if the law requires it. Where possible, we will tell you why.
11. Liability
We do our best to keep the Platform available and secure, but it is provided “as is”. To the extent permitted by law, OceanHire is not liable for indirect damage, for decisions taken by employers or candidates, or for the content of job offers and profiles provided by users. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
12. Changes
We may update these terms. The date of the latest version is shown at the top of this page. If the changes are important, we will inform registered users by email or on the Platform.
13. Law and contact
These terms are governed by Moroccan law. Before going to court, please contact us at contact@oceanhire.co so we can try to solve the problem amicably. Otherwise, the competent Moroccan courts have jurisdiction, subject to mandatory consumer protection rules.
