Terms for AI systems, agents and companies

Reading the site

• Every AI system may read the public pages, for search answers and for training, as our robots.txt says.
• Reading the public pages with a crawler that follows robots.txt, for search answers or for training, is free for companies too and is not the bulk use the licence covers.
• In return, credit SeaLagom and link to the page you used.
• The warnings are issued by the national coordinators. SeaLagom collects, maps and explains them, and the official text of a warning always decides.
• Never present anything from SeaLagom as a nautical chart, as official data or as fit for navigation.

Free for people

A person, or an agent working for one person, gets these free:

• The archive of cancelled and expired warnings, 50 warnings a request, with filters.
• The analysis of each warning, on the warning's own page.
• TXT exports without a limit. PDF, Word, KML and the other formats come with Lagom, ECDIS user charts with Contributor.
• Documents and guides without a limit.
• The API without a key: 100 calls a day and up to 50 records a call, for 3 days or 300 calls in all.
• The sky map, with full access.

One person has one quota. A new address, browser or account does not make a new one.

The licence for companies

A company needs a licence to use the API, for its own work or inside a product or service, to use SeaLagom in bulk, to put our data or analysis inside files it gives to others, or to pass the data on. This holds whatever plan the company has.

An API plan is for a person, or an agent working for one person, within the plan's limits. It is paid by card or in crypto and active as soon as it is paid.

Bulk use means taking our data through the exports, the files or the API beyond the free daily quotas, or collecting it to keep or pass on as data. Reading the public pages with a crawler that follows robots.txt is not bulk use.

To get one, write to contact@sealagom.com or start from the plans page. The company gets a private offer page where it, or its own agent, agrees the price, the term and the payment schedule and pays by card or in crypto. The licence runs from the payment for the term agreed.

SeaLagom does not sell where sanctions forbid it.

Agents that buy on their own

An agent can buy an API plan with no browser and no sign in. It sends POST /api/agent/checkout/ with the e-mail of the account, the plan (full or default) and the period (monthly, 3months, 6months, yearly, 24months). The answer carries a crypto payment page and a status address.

When the payment makes a new account, the paid status shows the API key made for that order. An account that already existed gets the plan, and its owner finds the key in the profile.

A key made by an agent order reads the data API only. The first sign in to that account on the website switches it off, and a new key can then be made in the profile.

curl -X POST https://www.sealagom.com/api/agent/checkout/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "[email protected]", "api": "full", "period": "monthly"}'

Donations of any size from 0.20 US dollars go to POST /api/agent/donate/.

MCP and files for programs

The MCP server in our integration kit on GitHub gives an agent the warnings, the warnings near a position, the route check, the NAVAREAs, the feeds, the ports, the vessels and the noon reports, with an API key. sealagom/sealagom-api

Each private offer has its own address for agents and its own MCP server, so a company's agent can read the rules and the quote and talk to our offer chat on its own.

/llms.txt is the whole site in one text file, with figures counted on our server.

/openapi.json is the OpenAPI 3.1 spec of every endpoint, and /api/agent/terms/ gives the figures of these terms as JSON.

Fair use

• Name your program in the User-Agent and keep to the limits. A 429 or 402 answer says in plain words when to come back or how to pay.
• Do not sign in as a person, share keys, or spread calls over many addresses to get past a limit.
• Keys and accounts that break these terms can be switched off.
