Terms of Use

What using Surftotal means

Reading Surftotal means you accept that these pages are one source among several for planning time on the water, and that you will use them under the terms below. Questions can go to contact@surftotal.it.

General information, not safety instruction

Surfing, paddling, kiting and other water sports carry real risk, including rip currents, shore breaks, cold water, rocks, boat traffic and changing weather. Articles on Surftotal are general information and personal opinion. They are not lifeguard advice, coaching or a substitute for local knowledge. Check current forecasts, flags and local notices, follow lifeguards, know your own limits and consider qualified instruction before trying a new activity. Travel details such as prices, opening times and access rules change, so confirm them before you set out.

Ownership of content

Articles, layout and original photographs on Surftotal are the operator’s own or are used with permission. Quoting a short passage with credit to Surftotal and sharing links to a guide are both fine. Lifting complete articles for another site, a printed guide or a commercial product needs written consent first.

Acceptable use

Do not probe the site for weaknesses, hammer it with scripted requests, plant harmful code or use its pages to distribute spam. Any unlawful use is off limits. The operator may block access when that is needed to keep Surftotal working for other readers.

Your messages

When you send a correction, question or idea, you confirm that you may share it. You allow us to read it and use the suggestion to improve Surftotal, with no duty to reply or publish.

Ads, affiliate links and linked sites

Surftotal may show advertising and include affiliate links, which can earn the operator a small commission at no extra cost to you. A commission does not change the verdict of a gear guide or a destination write-up. Readers may be pointed to surf shops, board and wetsuit makers, rental and lesson providers, forecast services or accommodation and ferry sites. These are outside Surftotal’s control, and we cannot vouch for their products, prices, bookings or content.

Warranties and liability

Surftotal is provided as it is and as available. As far as the law allows, the operator does not promise that it is accurate, complete or uninterrupted, and is not liable for loss, injury or damage arising from using the site or acting on an article. Statutory rights that cannot legally be waived stay intact, as does any liability the law does not let us exclude.

Changes and severability

The site and these terms may be edited at any time, and an edited version applies from the moment it appears here. If a court strikes out one of these clauses, the rest of the terms keep working as written.
