Copyright

The text, photographs, layout and code belong to Westmar Surveys or are used with permission. Quote a passage with attribution and a link. Reproducing the pages, the photographs or the site as a whole for commercial use needs written permission first.

Links to other sites

Sites linked from here — WhatsApp, Google, class societies, manufacturers — are run by others, under their own terms and privacy policies, and what happens on them is outside Westmar's control.

Accuracy and liability

These pages describe services in general terms. They are not technical advice about a particular vessel: advice about a boat comes from a survey or an inspection, in writing, with the vessel named in it.

Fees, availability and scope shown here are indicative, and are confirmed in writing before work begins.

Data protection

What this site collects, and what happens to it, is set out in the privacy and cookies policy.

Applicable law

This notice is governed by Spanish law, and any dispute arising from use of the site goes before the courts competent under it. Nothing here removes a right you hold as a consumer under Spanish or European law.
