Third Party Standards Of Conduct

Cruise Line expects that all companies retained by Cruise Line or those with which Cruise Line does business (the “Third Party”) conduct themselves in a professional and ethical manner. Any Third Party with whom Cruise Line does business should not conduct business that is unethical in any way, nor should they influence other persons to act unethically. As a Third Party, you must comply with these Standards of Conduct (the “Standards”) and require your affiliates and any third parties you engage in connection the Agreement to meet these Standards.

Compliance with Laws

Third Party will at all times conduct business and fulfill its obligations under any agreement in an ethical manner in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations including, but not limited to, trade sanctions, customs laws, export control laws, anti-corruption laws, government contract statutes and regulations, data protection laws, environmental laws, public health and safety laws, intellectual property laws, labor laws, and laws against slavery, human trafficking, forced labor and child labor.

Labor, Employment and Modern Slavery

Third Party will comply with, and cause parties in Third Party’s supply chain to comply with applicable laws, regulations and standards related to labor and employment standards and human trafficking, including, without limitation, the UK Modern Slavery Act and all applicable local laws in the countries in which Third Party conducts business (the “Labor Laws”).

In the performance of any agreement, Third Party will not use, and will cause parties in Third Party’s supply chain not to use, forced labor, whether in the form of prison, indentured, slave, bonded, trafficked or any other form of compulsory labor. Third Party will only employ people who (a) meet the local legal minimum age for employment, (b) meet the age for completing compulsory education in the country of manufacture, or (c) are at least 18 years old, whichever is higher. Third Party will treat all workers with respect and provide work environments that are free of physical, sexual, psychological and verbal harassment and abuse, retribution for grievances, and corporal punishment.

Third Party will not subject any person to any discrimination in employment, including in hiring, salary, benefits, advancement, discipline, termination or retirement on the basis of race, religion, gender, marital status, capacity to bear children, age, disability, sexual orientation, nationality, political opinion, social or ethnic origin, or other status of the individual unrelated to the ability to perform the job.

Anti-Bribery

Third Party will at all times conduct business ethically and will avoid all forms of corruption, including extortion, bribery, embezzlement, theft, fraud, anti-competitive practices, or other abuse of power to gain an advantage. Third Party represents and warrants that: (a) it is now in compliance with, and will continue to comply with, all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to all applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations; and (b) it will not offer, solicit or give any payments, loans, gifts, money or anything of value, directly or indirectly, (i) to or for the use or benefit of any official or employee of any government, or the agency or instrumentalities of any government (including but not limited to employees of any state-owned enterprises or organizations), (ii) to any political party or official or candidate thereof, (iii) to any other person if Third Party knows or has reason to suspect that any part of such payment, loan, gift, money or anything of value will be directly or indirectly given or paid to any such governmental official or political party or candidate or official thereof, or (iv) to any other person or entity, the payment of which would violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), the United Kingdom Bribery Act (“Bribery Act”) or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption laws of other jurisdictions (“Applicable Anti-Corruption Laws”).

Data Protection and Privacy

Third Party agrees at all times to comply with applicable data protection laws in connection with its obligations to the Cruise Line and its performance under any agreement with the Cruise Line. If Third Party collects, processes or controls personal data on behalf of the Cruise Line, it must comply with the Cruise Line’s data protection standards, including any applicable data protection addendum or agreement.
