The conditions that support responsible, secure and transparent use of the RMSA public website.

Last reviewed: 8 August 2026

01About these terms

These Terms & Conditions govern access to and use of the public Regional Maritime Security Architecture (RMSA) website. By using this website, you agree to use it responsibly and in accordance with these terms and applicable law.

The RMSA website is an institutional information gateway. RMIFC, RCOC and the Members Portal are separate digital services and may apply their own terms when you visit them.

02Permitted use

You may access, read, reference and share public information from this website for lawful, non-commercial, educational, research or institutional purposes, subject to any rights notices shown with particular material.

  • Do not attempt to disrupt, damage or gain unauthorised access to the website or its supporting systems.
  • Do not use the website to distribute malicious code, misleading content or unlawful material.
  • Do not misrepresent an affiliation with RMSA or imply official endorsement without authorisation.
  • Do not reproduce protected names, marks or content in a way that causes confusion about its source.

03Information and operational reliance

Content is provided for general institutional and public-information purposes. It is not operational direction, legal advice, navigational guidance or a substitute for instructions issued by competent national or regional authorities.

RMSA seeks to keep published information accurate and current, but does not guarantee that every item is complete, error-free or continuously available. Users should verify time-sensitive or operational information through the appropriate official channel.

04Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, website design, text, graphics and RMSA identity materials are protected by applicable intellectual-property rules. Third-party logos, photographs and publications remain the property of their respective owners and are used with permission or under applicable terms.

Reasonable quotation and linking are welcome when RMSA is clearly identified as the source. Material may not be altered or presented out of context in a way that could damage institutional integrity.

05External websites

This website links to RMIFC, RCOC, the Members Portal, sponsors and other external organisations. These links are provided for convenience and cooperation. RMSA does not control external websites and is not responsible for their content, security, availability or privacy practices.

06Availability and liability

RMSA may update, suspend or withdraw website content when needed for maintenance, security or institutional reasons. To the extent permitted by applicable law, RMSA is not liable for loss arising solely from reliance on public website content, temporary unavailability or use of an external link.

07Changes and contact

These terms may be revised to reflect changes in the website, applicable requirements or RMSA operations. The review date above indicates the latest published version.

Questions about these terms may be directed to the RMSA Secretariat through the organisation’s official communication channels.
