Terms of Service

1. Agreement to these Terms

By accessing or using CruisedIn, creating an account, subscribing to alerts or newsletters, saving jobs, using recruiter tools or otherwise using a feature that references these Terms, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree, do not use the affected Service. Additional terms may apply to a specific paid recruiter product, business contract or feature and will form part of the agreement for that product.

2. Operator and parties

CruisedIn is operated by JP Aureon LLC, Shams Business Center, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. References to “CruisedIn,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean JP Aureon LLC unless the context clearly states otherwise.

References to “candidate,” “you,” or “user” include people browsing jobs, creating candidate accounts, subscribing to alerts or using career information. “Recruiter,” “employer,” “company,” or “business user” includes organizations or professionals using recruiter-facing features.

“Company Parties” means JP Aureon LLC and, where applicable, its directors, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates and service providers acting in connection with CruisedIn.

3. Eligibility and adult users

CruisedIn is intended for users aged 18 or older. By creating an account or using recruiter-facing features, you represent that you are legally able to enter into these Terms and that information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge.

Some jobs may impose additional age, nationality, visa, medical, certification, language, seagoing-service, background-check or licensing requirements set by the hiring party or law. CruisedIn does not waive or alter those requirements.

4. What CruisedIn provides

CruisedIn is a specialist cruise-career discovery platform. Depending on the current release, the Service may include:

• job listings sourced from cruise lines, recruiters, crewing companies, operators, concessionaires and other recruitment sources;
• company and recruiter profiles;
• filters, search, categories and career pages;
• source and freshness information designed to help users understand where a vacancy came from;
• saved jobs, candidate accounts, preference settings and job alerts;
• career guides and educational content;
• optional recruiter-facing profiles, candidate-discovery tools or hiring products;
• newsletter and other career communications.

We may add, change, restrict or discontinue features as described in Section 20.

5. CruisedIn is not an employer, recruitment agency or hiring representative

CruisedIn is an independent information and discovery service. Unless JP Aureon LLC expressly enters into a separate written agreement for a specific service, displaying a job or company does not mean:

• JP Aureon LLC employs the candidate;
• JP Aureon LLC acts as the hiring company’s recruitment, crewing, manning, placement or labour agent;
• the listed company has appointed CruisedIn to make hiring decisions;
• CruisedIn has authority to issue offers, contracts, visas, letters of employment or joining instructions;
• CruisedIn guarantees the authenticity, availability, suitability or outcome of a vacancy;
• an employer, recruiter or company endorses CruisedIn merely because public information about it appears on the Service.

Hiring decisions, interviews, references, background checks, medical examinations, immigration steps, certifications, salary negotiations, employment contracts and joining arrangements are controlled by the relevant employer, recruiter or other third party.

6. Job listings, freshness and source information

We aim to identify trustworthy recruitment sources, show source information and remove or stop displaying roles that our systems identify as closed or unavailable. However, vacancy data can change without notice and third-party sources can be inaccurate, delayed, duplicated, incomplete or changed after we last checked them.

Dates such as “first seen,” “last seen,” “added today,” or “source checked” describe CruisedIn’s observation of a source or listing and are not a guarantee that the employer created, updated or will continue accepting applications on that exact date.

Titles, locations, departments, employment types and other fields may be normalized, categorized, shortened or formatted by CruisedIn to improve browsing. Users should read the original source before relying on any material detail.

7. Applications and external career sites

Most CruisedIn job pages direct candidates to an external company, recruiter, crewing or hiring website to apply. Your application is then governed by that third party’s terms, privacy policy, technical systems and recruitment process.

CruisedIn is not responsible for an external site’s availability, form errors, account requirements, applicant-tracking system, rejection or acceptance decisions, document requests, security practices or response times.

A link labeled “Apply,” “Apply on official site,” “View original listing” or similar is a navigation aid. It is not an offer of employment, invitation to interview or representation that the third party will accept an application from you.

8. Recruitment scams, fees and candidate safety

CruisedIn does not charge candidates a fee merely to browse a public CruisedIn job or follow a standard external application link.

Recruitment fraud exists in the maritime and hospitality sectors. Candidates should independently verify the domain, company, recruiter and communication channel before providing documents or making payments.

Do not assume that a payment request is legitimate because a related company name or vacancy appears on CruisedIn. Some lawful third-party processes may involve costs such as government visa fees, medical examinations, training, travel or document processing, but CruisedIn does not verify or guarantee every fee requested by an external party.

Never send passwords, banking credentials or payment-card details to a person claiming to represent CruisedIn. If someone falsely claims CruisedIn or JP Aureon LLC is collecting a recruitment fee or issuing a job offer, contact us at hello@cruisedin.com.

9. Candidate accounts and profiles

If you create a CruisedIn candidate account, you are responsible for maintaining accurate account information and safeguarding your login credentials. You must not create an account using another person’s identity without authorization.

Career-preference information is used to personalize the Service. If CruisedIn later offers recruiter-visible candidate profiles, CV features or talent pools, separate visibility choices may apply. Creating a basic CruisedIn account does not itself authorize an employer to act on your behalf or create an employment relationship.

10. Saved jobs, alerts and application tracking

Saved jobs, alerts, recommendations and application-tracking features are organizational aids. They do not confirm that a vacancy remains open, that an application was successfully submitted to a third party, or that the employer has viewed or accepted it.

Job alerts are based on available data and your selected criteria. We do not guarantee that every matching role will trigger an alert, that alerts will arrive immediately, or that a role will still be open when you read the message.

11. Recruiter and company tools

Recruiter-facing products may require business verification and may be subject to additional commercial terms. A “verified” badge or similar indicator means CruisedIn completed the checks defined for that feature; it is not a guarantee of solvency, regulatory licensing, employment practices, job quality or future conduct.

Business users must have authority to represent the company or recruitment organization they claim to represent and must not post fraudulent, misleading, discriminatory, unlawful or non-existent opportunities.

We may remove, suspend or refuse recruiter access where verification fails or where we reasonably suspect fraud, impersonation, abuse, unlawful conduct or material risk to candidates.

12. Candidate responsibilities

You are responsible for:

• checking that a role is suitable for you before applying;
• confirming eligibility, visa, medical, certification, training, background-check and documentation requirements with the hiring organization;
• providing truthful application information to third parties;
• reviewing salary, rotation, leave, travel, accommodation, insurance, tax, repatriation, probation and contract terms before accepting employment;
• independently verifying suspicious communications or payment requests;
• obtaining professional advice where appropriate.

13. Prohibited use

You may not:

• use CruisedIn for fraud, impersonation, phishing, recruitment scams or unlawful discrimination;
• scrape, harvest, bulk-download or systematically extract CruisedIn listings, profiles, candidate data or databases except where expressly permitted in writing or by law;
• bypass security, access controls, rate limits, robots rules or technical restrictions;
• introduce malware, interfere with availability or attempt unauthorized access;
• use CruisedIn candidate data to create unauthorized marketing lists, surveillance products or competing databases;
• misrepresent affiliation with JP Aureon LLC, CruisedIn, a cruise line or recruiter;
• copy or republish substantial portions of the Service in a way that infringes rights or substitutes for CruisedIn.

14. No immigration, legal, medical, credential or professional advice

CruisedIn career guides, filters, job metadata and educational content are general information only. They are not legal, immigration, tax, medical, maritime-safety, licensing, credential-validation or professional advice.

Visa, work-permit, flag-state, seafarer medical, STCW, training, certification, criminal-record, vaccination, tax-residency and travel requirements can depend on the vessel, flag, itinerary, nationality, role, employer and jurisdiction. Confirm requirements with the relevant employer, authority or qualified professional.

15. Third-party employers, recruiters and services

External employers, recruiters, crewing companies, applicant-tracking systems, training providers, medical providers, government portals and other linked services are independent third parties unless expressly stated otherwise.

JP Aureon LLC does not control their websites, contracts, employment practices, data handling, communications, fees, decisions or service quality merely because CruisedIn links to or identifies them.

Third-party terms and privacy policies apply to your dealings with those organizations.

16. Communications and notifications

CruisedIn may send service messages needed to operate your account, alerts, security or settings. Optional newsletters or promotional messages are subject to applicable consent and unsubscribe requirements.

You are responsible for keeping your contact details current. Delivery can be affected by spam filters, email providers, mobile platforms, network conditions or other systems outside our control.

17. Paid recruiter features

CruisedIn may offer paid recruiter profiles, featured visibility, job-posting tools, subscriptions or other business services. Pricing, billing, renewal, cancellation, taxes, service levels and any additional terms shown at purchase form part of the relevant business agreement.

Payment for recruiter visibility does not buy a hiring outcome, candidate response, candidate quality guarantee or editorial endorsement unless a specific written agreement expressly says otherwise.

18. Intellectual property and database rights

Except for third-party materials, CruisedIn and its software, design, original text, taxonomy, source-verification framework, selection/arrangement, databases, branding and other materials are owned by or licensed to JP Aureon LLC and protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Service for its intended career-discovery or authorized business purpose.

19. Third-party trademarks, logos and source content

Company names, logos, job descriptions, trademarks and recruitment materials may belong to the relevant cruise line, recruiter, operator, concessionaire or other rights holder. Their display on CruisedIn is for identification, job discovery, source attribution or authorized business use.

Unless expressly stated, displaying third-party branding does not imply sponsorship, endorsement, ownership, partnership or agency between that third party and JP Aureon LLC.

If you are a rights holder and believe content is inaccurate or improperly used, contact hello@cruisedin.com with enough information for us to review the issue.

20. Changes to the Service

We may add, modify, suspend, limit or discontinue features for product, legal, security, cost, source-availability, anti-abuse or business reasons. We do not promise that a specific listing source, filter, feature, recruiter account or external integration will always remain available.

21. Suspension and termination

We may restrict, suspend or terminate access where we reasonably believe it is necessary because of fraud, impersonation, misuse, unlawful activity, security risk, abusive automated access, material breach of these Terms, infringement, non-payment of business fees or legal/regulatory requirements.

Where appropriate and legally required, we may provide notice or an opportunity to resolve the issue. We may act immediately where delay would create material risk.

22. Account deletion

You may delete your CruisedIn candidate account from your signed-in profile or request deletion as described in the Privacy Policy. Deleting a CruisedIn account does not delete an application, CV or personal data you separately submitted to an external employer or recruiter; you must contact that third party regarding its records.

23. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CRUISEDIN IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”

JP Aureon LLC and its directors, officers, employees, contractors and affiliates do not warrant that:

• every vacancy is open, accurate, complete, authentic or suitable for you;
• a source link will always work or remain unchanged;
• a company or recruiter will respond, interview, hire or continue employing you;
• salary, benefits, location, vessel, rotation, contract term or joining date will match information seen on CruisedIn;
• a recruiter, employer or third party will act lawfully, fairly or securely;
• using CruisedIn will result in employment, career advancement or any particular outcome;
• the Service will always be secure, uninterrupted or error-free.

Nothing in these Terms excludes any warranty or consumer guarantee that applicable law makes mandatory.

24. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, JP Aureon LLC and the other Company Parties will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential losses, or for loss of profits, employment opportunity, salary, business, reputation, goodwill or data arising from or relating to CruisedIn, third-party recruitment activity or external sites.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the aggregate liability of the Company Parties for all claims arising from or relating to CruisedIn during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim will not exceed the greater of:

1. AED 500; or
2. the amount you actually paid to JP Aureon LLC for CruisedIn services during that 12-month period.

The limitations do not apply where liability cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including fraud, wilful misconduct or other liability that mandatory law preserves.

25. Your responsibility and indemnity

You are responsible for loss caused by your unlawful conduct, infringement, fraud, impersonation, misuse of the Service or material breach of these Terms.

If you use CruisedIn in a business or professional capacity, you agree, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to defend, indemnify and hold harmless JP Aureon LLC and the Company Parties from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, penalties and reasonable legal costs arising from your unlawful content, fraudulent recruitment activity, infringement, misuse or material breach.

For consumer users, any indemnity applies only to the extent permitted by mandatory consumer law and reasonably attributable to your unlawful or wrongful conduct.

26. Disputes involving employers, recruiters or third parties

JP Aureon LLC is not a party to ordinary employment, recruitment or contractual disputes between candidates and employers, recruiters, crewing companies, medical providers, training providers or other third parties unless JP Aureon LLC expressly entered the relevant transaction.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release the Company Parties from claims arising solely from the independent acts or omissions of those third parties, except to the extent JP Aureon LLC itself is legally responsible for the relevant harm.

27. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms and your relationship with JP Aureon LLC are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, except where mandatory law in your place of residence applies notwithstanding this choice.

Before formal proceedings, you and JP Aureon LLC agree to make a reasonable good-faith effort to resolve the issue by contacting hello@cruisedin.com. This does not prevent urgent relief or the exercise of a statutory right within a required deadline.

Subject to mandatory consumer-jurisdiction rules, courts with competent jurisdiction in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates will have jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms or the Service.

28. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in CruisedIn, law, security, business operations or third-party requirements. The current Terms will be published at cruisedin.com/terms with the version and effective date.

Where applicable law requires renewed acceptance or additional notice for a material change, we will provide it before the change applies to affected account features.

29. General legal terms

29.1 Entire agreement

These Terms, the Privacy Policy and any additional written terms presented for a specific CruisedIn product form the agreement between you and JP Aureon LLC concerning that Service.

29.2 Severability

If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions remain effective.

29.3 No waiver

A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of that provision or any later breach.

29.4 Assignment

You may not assign these Terms or your CruisedIn account without our consent. JP Aureon LLC may assign the Service or these Terms in connection with a restructuring, financing, merger, sale of assets or transfer of the business, subject to applicable law.

29.5 Force majeure

To the extent permitted by law, JP Aureon LLC is not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control, including internet/cloud outages, cyber incidents despite reasonable safeguards, natural disasters, war, government action, sanctions, labour disruption or third-party platform failure.

29.6 No partnership, agency or employment relationship

These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, fiduciary relationship, employment relationship or agency relationship between you and JP Aureon LLC. They also do not create an agency relationship between JP Aureon LLC and a listed employer or recruiter merely because information or a link is displayed on CruisedIn.

29.7 Headings

Headings are for convenience and do not limit the meaning of these Terms.
