Our shared responsibilities

Website & Membership Terms of Use

These terms explain how you may access and use wartimemaritime.org, take part in our membership programmes, and contribute news, vessels, or archival material. They apply to every visitor, member, and director.

1. Who we are

The Wartime Maritime Memorial Association C.I.C (company number 16863284) is a Community Interest Company limited by guarantee. Our registered address is The Wartime Maritime Memorial Association C.I.C, The Innovation Centre, Brunswick Street, Nelson, Lancashire, BB9 0PQ, United Kingdom. References to “the Association”, “we”, “us”, or “our” mean this C.I.C.

2. Acceptable use

  • Use the site and member dashboards for lawful purposes that align with our community-benefit objects.
  • Keep login credentials secure. Directors may not share board dashboards with anyone else.
  • Respect copyright, privacy, and safeguarding obligations when uploading stories, photos, or documents.

3. Content you provide

By submitting membership forms, grant applications, or news stories you confirm that:

  • Information is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
  • You have permission to share any images or videos you upload.
  • You allow us to store, edit for clarity, and publish approved material with an attribution credit.

4. News & messaging moderation

Anyone can submit a news story. Every submission is reviewed by a director before publication to ensure it is factual, respectful, and relevant to wartime maritime heritage. Messages sent through the contact form are logged securely and may be shared internally with the board or curators best placed to respond.

5. Liability

We aim to keep the website accurate and available, but it is provided “as is”. We are not responsible for any loss arising from reliance on website content or downtime. Nothing in these terms limits liability where it cannot be limited by law.
