1. Website Use
NOT FOR NAVIGATION PURPOSES: Content on the Website is provided for general information only and must not be used for navigation.
The UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) requires that mariners carry up-to-date official charts, tide tables, lists of lights, weather forecast reception equipment, and prepare proper passage plans. Nothing on this Website meets those requirements.
Charts displayed are not to navigation standards, tide tables are approximate, waypoints may be unsuitable, and harbour information may be outdated or inaccurate.
The prudent mariner must use official publications and, if in doubt, stand off in safe deep water.
Note: “Buy and Keep” products sold separately may be used for navigation, as explicitly stated at the point of sale.
2. Disclaimer of Liability
The Website is provided “as is” and at your own risk.
While the Providers strive for accuracy, no warranties (express or implied) are given regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the content.
You must always rely on official, up-to-date charts and data before making any navigational decisions.
The Providers accept no responsibility for:
- Any inaccuracies or omissions (except fraudulent misrepresentation).
- Any loss, damage, cost, or expense incurred through use of, or inability to use, the Website.
- Technical problems, including viruses or connectivity issues, outside of the Providers’ control.
You are responsible for ensuring your own computer security.
