Frequently Asked Questions
What is SeaLex membership?
SeaLex membership is an annual plan that gives seafarers continuous access to a maritime lawyer for legal guidance and support throughout the year. Members can easily request legal help, receive assistance, and track their cases directly through the platform.
How much does the membership cost?
The annual membership fee is $249,99, paid once per year. The membership cannot be cancelled mid-term but includes several benefits that grow over time.
What do I get with my membership?
Your membership gives you:
- Access to the Maritime Lawyer
- Legal Support from the first day — you can ask questions anytime without extra charge.
- Access to a Personal Legal Dashboard, where you can open new cases and upload documents.
- SeaLex Membership Points which you can use to reduce costs of legal services + you can earn them
- Exclusive Benefits for loyal customers…
What are SeaLex Points and how do they work?
Each member receives 250 points (worth $250). Points can be used to pay for any additional legal services — for example, drafting a claim, negotiating with a company, or court representation.
Points do not expire and accumulate over time as long as your membership is active.
How can I earn additional SeaLex Points?
You can earn more points by:
- Referring new members — for every 5 new members who join through your referral, you receive 50 extra points.
- Anniversary bonuses — extra points are added before each annual renewal.
- Engagement rewards — more you complain more reward you get.
Are legal services included in the membership?
Membership covers all consultations and continuous legal guidance provided through the SeaLex platform.
Specific legal actions – such as drafting claims, negotiations, or legal representation – are performed by independent maritime lawyers who are not employees of SeaLex and are charged separately under their own professional terms.
SeaLex Membership Points may be used to reduce the cost of these additional services.
How does the free trial work?
New users may advantage of a 7-day free trial with full access to the SeaLex platform.
During the trial, you can:
- Ask legal questions and receive professional legal support;
Explore your legal dashboard; - See how points and membership work.
- After 7 days, you can upgrade to a full annual membership to continue receiving legal support.
What happens if I stop or pause my membership?
SeaLex membership is billed annually and remains active for the full 12-month period, even if you decide to cancel midway. You can continue using all membership benefits and legal services until your yearly term expires.
After your annual membership ends, you have 30 days to renew it. If you don’t renew within that period, your account becomes inactive – you’ll lose access to the platform, your SeaLex Points will be permanently deleted, and all other membership benefits will expire.
To keep your points and uninterrupted access to legal support, make sure to renew your membership each year before the 30-day grace period ends.
Is my information confidential?
Absolutely! All data, documents, and communications on the SeaLex platform are encrypted and handled with strict confidentiality, in full compliance with GDPR and applicable professional standards.
