Terms

Reading a page does not create a contract or a promise that a description matches the reader’s vessel or vehicle. The reader is responsible for the decision on the water.

Articles are original writing by the Editorial Team. A reader may link to a page and quote a short passage with credit and a link. Copying a whole article, or republishing the guides as their own, is not allowed. A Creative Commons credit on a picture is not a licence to lift the article around it.

A link to another site is so the reader can check a source or an opt-out page. The publication does not control that site.

An advertisement, when shown, is from the advertising vendor, not a sentence by the editorial team. Policy pages do not carry ads.

If terms change, the new text is published at this URL.

Questions go to [email protected]. That address is not a distress channel.

Readers do not register. There is no public profile and no comment thread. There is no reader list.

The reader may not break the site or probe it for other people’s information.
