Core principles
How we expect the site to be used
You agree to use Tideview Dispatch for lawful, respectful, and non-disruptive purposes. That means no attempts to interfere with access, copy content in bulk, or misrepresent our reporting as your own. Simple enough, right?
Our articles, photographs, headlines, layouts, and branding are protected. Personal reading is fine, but republication, scraping, or commercial redistribution needs written permission. Want to quote a short passage? Contact us first and we’ll guide you through it.
We work hard to verify facts before publication, especially on maritime matters where timing and precision matter. If something looks off, let us know. Our newsroom reviews credible correction requests and updates stories when the record needs it.
If a digital edition, newsletter, or member area requires registration, you’re responsible for keeping your details accurate and your login secure. Shared access, unauthorised distribution, and account abuse can lead to suspension. That protects the newsroom and honest subscribers alike.
We may link to external sources, but we don’t control those sites or their policies. Use them at your own discretion. Our responsibility is limited to the extent permitted by law, and our pages may evolve as editorial needs change.

Reader responsibilities

- Protect your own account details.
- Use contact channels for permission requests.
Why it matters
Maritime reporting often moves quickly, and those time-sensitive updates only work when readers, sources, and editors follow the same ground rules. Clear terms keep that relationship steady.
Review cadence
We revisit these terms when our services, technology, or editorial workflows change. If the page looks different from your last visit, that’s usually why.

Four small signals around one clear focus
One central rule
Respect the newsroom, respect the content, and ask before reusing material at scale. That’s the heart of it. Everything else flows from there.
