Effective Date: August 31, 2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Asbestos Ships website (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms, along with our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, both incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
This Site is intended for veterans, family members, caregivers, and others seeking information related to toxic exposure on ships. By using the Site, you confirm you are at least 18, or are using it with a parent, guardian, or caregiver involved. If you are acting on behalf of a veteran, you confirm you have their authority to submit information and request referrals.
You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes consistent with connecting veterans to medical, legal, and VA resources. You agree not to:
We may investigate violations and take appropriate action, including removing content, suspending access, or involving law enforcement.
Connecting veterans with third-party medical providers, attorneys, and VA offices is central to our mission. These referrals are free and provided as a convenience.
Site content, including text, graphics, logos, and design, is owned by Asbestos Ships or its licensors and protected under applicable law. You may view and share content for personal, non-commercial use. You may not modify, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from it, or use the Asbestos Ships name or logo, without our written permission.
Nothing on this Site constitutes medical or legal advice or creates a provider-patient or attorney-client relationship with Asbestos Ships or any partner. Site content is informational only and does not substitute for consultation with a qualified physician, the VA, or a licensed attorney.
The Site may link to third-party sites, including VA resources and partner organizations. Asbestos Ships does not control or endorse these sites and is not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices. Visiting a linked site is at your own risk.
THE SITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. ASBESTOS SHIPS, ITS AFFILIATES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, TRUSTEES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS (THE "PARTIES") DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY OF ITS CONTENT. FULL TERMS ARE SET OUT IN OUR DISCLAIMER, INCORPORATED HEREIN.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NONE OF THE PARTIES IS LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR ANY REFERRAL MADE THROUGH IT. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIABILITY LIMITATIONS, IN WHICH CASE LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Asbestos Ships, its affiliates, trustees, directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, or expenses, including attorney's fees, arising from your use of the Site, violation of these Terms, or interactions with a referred third party.
Your use of the Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what personal information we collect, how we use and share it, and your rights under applicable privacy law.
Disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Site will be resolved by binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator, as described in our Disclaimer. Except for punitive damages, any remedy available from a court is available from the arbitrator, and the decision is final. All parties consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Utah, or any federal court in Utah, for actions to compel or enforce arbitration or seek provisional relief.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, without notice, for conduct that violates these Terms or harms other users or Asbestos Ships. Sections that by nature should survive termination, including Intellectual Property, Disclaimer, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Dispute Resolution, will survive.
We may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version with a new effective date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the revised Terms.
If any provision is held invalid, it will be construed under applicable law to reflect the original intent as closely as possible, and the remainder stays in effect. No waiver is effective unless in writing. You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our consent. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, form the entire agreement between you and Asbestos Ships.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to its conflict of law rules.
