Terms of Use
Effective
By using Captain's License Prep you agree to these terms. They are written to be short and honest, because this is a free informational site with no accounts and nothing to sign up for.
What this site is
Captain's License Prep is an independent educational resource about the U.S. Coast Guard captain's license, published by Urban Algorithm LLC. The guides, the sea-time calculator, the processing tracker, and the state charter map are provided free of charge for general information and study planning.
Not affiliated, not official, not advice
We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or administered by the U.S. Coast Guard, the National Maritime Center, the Transportation Security Administration, any state agency, or any course provider. Nothing here is legal advice or an official determination. The sea-time calculator estimates creditable sea service from the public rules so you can plan; the National Maritime Center makes the final determination on every application, and eligibility, fees, permit status, and processing times can change without notice. Always confirm your situation against the official source before you rely on it.
No warranty
We work to keep every figure accurate and dated to its source, but we provide the site "as is," without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any decision made, cost incurred, or outcome experienced based on information or tool results from this site. The tools are aids to planning, not a guarantee of any credential.
Affiliate links
Some outbound links may be affiliate links, and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We disclose these where they appear and only point to resources we believe are genuinely useful. A recommendation is our editorial opinion, not a promise of any result.
Acceptable use
Use the site for your own lawful, personal study. Do not scrape, republish, or resell the content or data as your own. The original tools, compilations, and copy are the property of Urban Algorithm LLC.
