Terms of Use

1. What TugJobz is

TugJobz is a listing service that lets tug and barge owners/operators show their vessels and lets clients find them and post towing jobs. TugJobz is not a party to any charter, towage contract or agreement between members, does not inspect vessels, and does not verify listings beyond its account approval review.

2. What TugJobz does, and doesn't do

TugJobz connects people who need tug and barge services with the owners and operators who provide them. That's all it does.

• Operators can't see each other's information. Only approved clients can search vessels, view the map or see an owner's contact details. Operators can't see other operators' tugs, barges, specifications, spec sheets, availability or contact details. TugJobz staff see listings only to run the site (approving accounts, support and removing problem listings), and never pass one operator's information to another.
• TugJobz doesn't do your selling. It doesn't quote, bid, set prices or negotiate for anyone. Search results are sorted by what the client chooses, or by vessel name, with no paid or favoured placement. Operators keep their own customers and relationships. TugJobz is one more place for clients to find you, not a replacement for your sales work.
• TugJobz doesn't run vessels and doesn't compete with its members.
• Do your own due diligence. TugJobz doesn't inspect vessels or crews, check certificates or insurance, or vouch for any member. Before agreeing to any work, check the vessel, its paperwork and the other party yourself.
• Make your own deal. Price, schedule, contract terms, insurance and payment are agreed directly between client and operator. TugJobz isn't a party to that agreement and isn't a broker or agent for either side.

3. Accounts

You must give accurate information and keep your login secure. Each account has one role. TugJobz may approve, reject, suspend or remove accounts and listings at its discretion.

4. Listings and jobs

You are responsible for the accuracy of vessel specifications, certificates, availability and job details you post, and for holding all licenses, certificates of inspection and insurance required for the work you offer or request.

5. Contact between members

Contact details are shared only so members can arrange work. Don't use them for unrelated marketing or share them outside your company.

6. No warranty; limitation of liability

The service is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, TugJobz is not liable for losses arising from dealings between members or from reliance on listings.
