The legal frame

Terms of Use, Numbered So They Can Be Cited

Twenty three numbered clauses. The short version is that this is a publication, nothing on it is for sale, and the one thing that transacts belongs to somebody else and is disclosed wherever it appears.

Acceptance and scope

  1. 1. Using this site means accepting these terms as they stand on the day you use it. If you do not accept them, the remedy is not to use the site, which costs nothing because the site charges nothing.
  2. 2. The site is published by Public Deck Register LLC, an Ohio limited liability company, at 3100 East 45th Street, Cleveland, OH 44127. Telephone +1 (216) 875-3062. These terms are between you and that company.
  3. 3. These terms are dated August 7, 2026. A material change gets a dated line at the foot of this page.

What this site is

  1. 4. The Public Deck is a publication. It consists of writing about a working shipping channel and the machinery around it, plus photographs illustrating the kinds of structure described.
  2. 5. Nothing on this site is for sale. There is no product, no service, no subscription, no membership, no ticket, no tour, no guide, no accommodation and no transport offered by us, at any price, at any time.
  3. 6. Payment. No page on this site takes a payment, holds a payment, processes a card or asks for card details. There is no checkout, no basket and no invoice, because there is nothing to buy. The clause exists so the question is answered rather than left silent.
  4. 7. Refunds and returns. There is nothing to refund and nothing to return, for the reason in clause 5. Where money has changed hands with an outside booking service, that service's own refund terms govern it and we are not a party to them.
  5. 8. Shipping and delivery. Nothing is shipped, delivered or dispatched from here. No physical goods exist. Again, stated rather than left silent.

The flight search

  1. 9. Three pages carry a flight search: the front page, the flight search page and getting there. It is operated by an outside booking service and not by us.
  2. 10. Pressing its button hands one query string to that service. Everything after that point is between you and them, under their terms and their privacy handling.
  3. 11. No contract for travel is formed with us, ever. We take no reservation, hold no money, issue no ticket, see no card number and hold no record of any booking. We cannot change, cancel, refund or query one.
  4. 12. Where the search leads to a booking with that service, a commission on it can be paid to this publication. The same fact is printed under every form on the site, on the disclaimer and on about.
  5. 13. That commission does not change what you pay and does not give this publication any role in the transaction.

Using the writing

  1. 14. Copyright in the text, the plates, the design and the code belongs to Public Deck Register LLC. Read it, print a copy for your own use, quote it with a credit and a link. Republishing a page, or the site, is not permitted.
  2. 15. Do not use anything from this site to train a model, populate another site, or generate a derivative publication.
  3. 16. Do not attempt to interfere with the site, its forms or its hosting, and do not use the letter form to send anything unlawful, automated or commercial.

Accuracy and reliance

  1. 17. Everything here was accurate as far as one person could establish it when written. Infrastructure changes and this site will lag behind it.
  2. 18. Nothing here is safety, legal, engineering or navigational advice. Descriptions of places are descriptions, not assurances, and where you stand and what you do there is your own judgement.
  3. 19. No opening time, arrival, working pattern or proportion on this site is a commitment by anybody, and none of it is under our control.
  4. 20. No structure, dock, terminal, park or building is named by its own name anywhere here, and no vessel or company is named. There is no relationship, permission, sponsorship or affiliation with any dock operator, vessel owner, mill, carrier, railroad, terminal, agency or public body.

Liability, notices and law

  1. 21. To the extent the law allows, this publication is not liable for anything arising from reading it or from acting on it, including anything that happens at a place it describes. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you have paid us, which is nothing.
  2. 22. Notices to us: [email protected] for anything editorial, [email protected] for records and privacy, and the postal address in clause 2 for anything formal. Copyright complaints go to [email protected] with enough detail to identify the material.
  3. 23. These terms are governed by the law of the State of Ohio and of the United States, and the courts of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, have jurisdiction. If one clause fails, the rest stand.
