6. Data Protection

6.1             Your data will form part of your candidate record. By entering into this contract with us, you are allowing us to hold and                          process your personal data. We will process your personal data in accordance with our Learner Data Management                               Agreement, mentioned in document named ‘Privacy Policy’. This document will be sent alongside these Terms and                                 Conditions and can also be found on the Onboard Maritime website. 

6.2            In compliance with GDPR, we inform you that video recordings of Zoom/web link calls for Chief Mates Unlimited or Master                     Mariner Unlimited courses will include participant faces and will be shared exclusively with other candidates enrolled in                         the same course co-hort. These recordings will be distributed via web links only to those registered on the course’s final                         day. Once these recordings are in the hands of the enrolled participants, we do not take responsibility for further                                     distribution or sharing, but candidates should refer to section 5 of the Terms and Conditions. 

6.3           For OOW Unlimited and EOOW Unlimited tutorials, recorded Zoom/web link calls will be stored online for a maximum period                  of 3 months. After this timeframe, they will be permanently removed from our LMS and app.  

7. General

7.1             Each clause within these Terms and Conditions operates separately.

7.2            These are the terms of the contract between you and us. No other person should have any right to enforce any of the                             terms.

7.3            Access to the learning materials is for 12 months from the date of purchase and your account will be closed the day after                     you notify us of passing your exam if before the 12 months of access.

7.4            Further Chief Mates/Master Mariner Unlimited 4-week group session details:

                 Once a candidate has confirmed their attendance on a course, any subsequent changes can only be made at our                                 discretion and that: 

                 • Places on later classes will only be permitted if spaces are available at that time and those classes are not fully booked.
                 • The schedule of class topics change with each class. Therefore, it is unlikely that all classes missed will be subsequently                         covered in the next class.
                 • Obtaining a MCA Oral examination date is the candidate’s responsibility and it is advised that this is obtained before                             confirming a course date.

8. Changes to the Facilities and these Terms and Conditions

We reserve the right to change the Website, its Content or these Terms and Conditions at any time. You will be bound by any changes to the Terms and Conditions from the first time you use the Website following the changes. If We are required to make any changes to these Terms and Conditions by law, these changes will apply automatically to any orders currently pending in addition to any orders placed by you in the future.

It is important you read all of the above before proceeding.
