Acceptance of these terms

By accessing WaveHelm, you agree to these Terms of Service and to comply with applicable laws. If you do not agree, please do not use the site or download our materials.

Educational purpose

WaveHelm publishes general boating guides, buying tips, maintenance information, and watercraft advice for educational purposes. Content is not a substitute for a licensed captain, marine surveyor, mechanic, attorney, insurer, or other qualified professional.

Using our guides

You may view and download WaveHelm materials for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, republish, sell, license, scrape, or distribute our guides, illustrations, checklists, or branding without written permission.

Accounts and contact details

If you provide contact information, you agree that it is accurate and that you have authority to provide it. You are responsible for keeping your correspondence truthful and for not using forms to send unlawful, abusive, or misleading material.

Boat and water safety

Boating conditions, regulations, equipment, and manufacturer instructions vary by vessel and waterway. Confirm current requirements with the relevant authority and inspect your boat before departure; never rely on a website alone for an urgent safety decision.

Third-party links

Our guides may reference manufacturers, marinas, government agencies, retailers, or other websites. Those links are provided for convenience, and WaveHelm does not control or endorse every third-party service, claim, price, policy, or availability.

Intellectual property

WaveHelm and its original content, design, logos, text, graphics, and compilations belong to WaveHelm or its licensors. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership or grants a broader license than the limited personal-use permission stated above.

Disclaimers

The site and its content are provided on an “as available” basis. We work to keep information accurate and current, but we do not warrant that every guide is complete, error-free, uninterrupted, or suitable for your specific vessel, budget, location, or circumstances.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, WaveHelm is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary losses arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content. You remain responsible for decisions involving purchase, operation, maintenance, transport, storage, and safety.

Changes, governing law, and contact

We may update these terms by posting a revised version with a new date. These terms are governed by the laws applicable in Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Questions may be sent to hello@wavehelm.com or WaveHelm, 742 Harborview Drive, Miami, FL 33132.
