Disclaimers

Not professional advice: Surf conditions and reports are for informational purposes only. Always use your own judgment when deciding whether to surf. Ocean conditions can be dangerous.

No guarantees: We don't guarantee the accuracy of buoy data, user reports, or any information on the Service. Conditions change rapidly and reports may not reflect current conditions.

User-submitted content: Reports from other users reflect their personal observations and opinions. We don't verify user reports.

Service availability: We don't guarantee the Service will be available at all times. We may modify or discontinue the Service at any time.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Locls Club and its operators shall not be liable for any injuries, damages, or losses resulting from your use of the Service or reliance on information provided through the Service.

Surfing is inherently dangerous. You assume all risks associated with surfing and ocean activities.

Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
