2. About the service
The Site is an independent editorial publication offering general information about buying used yachts and sailing boats in France. We are not a yacht broker, dealer, surveyor or marketplace. We do not list, sell or inspect boats, and we do not act on behalf of buyers or sellers. Any transaction you enter into with a third party is solely between you and that party.
3. No professional advice
Content on the Site is provided for general information only and does not constitute legal, tax, financial, insurance or technical marine advice. Regulations, prices and market conditions change. Before buying a boat you should obtain an independent survey and seek qualified professional advice appropriate to your situation.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss arising from decisions made in reliance on the Site's content, including the purchase, use or sale of any vessel. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for gross negligence, wilful misconduct or your statutory rights as a consumer.
8. Termination
We may suspend or restrict access to all or part of the Site at any time, without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these terms or if required for maintenance, security or legal reasons. Sections relating to intellectual property, limitation of liability and governing law survive termination.

These terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer residing in another country, you also benefit from any mandatory protections of the law of your country of residence.
10. Disputes
If you have a complaint, please contact us first at [email protected] so we can try to resolve it amicably. Consumers resident in France may also refer a dispute to a consumer mediator free of charge. Failing an amicable resolution, disputes shall be submitted to the competent courts of Marseille, without prejudice to any mandatory rules granting consumers the right to bring proceedings in their place of residence.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Changes take effect when published on this page. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the revised terms.
