We may update, expand or reduce the content on the site at any time, without prior notice.

2. Non-professional information

All material on this site is based on angling experience and personal opinion. It is intended for inspiration and general information only.

Nothing on the site should be treated as professional advice (legal, safety, medical or otherwise). You remain responsible for your own decisions on the bank and in everyday life.

CarpTide Club does not directly sell tackle, bait, tickets or guiding services. If we mention venues, brands or third-party services, this is for illustration only.

Any arrangements you make with third parties (such as booking fishing, buying equipment or travelling to a venue) are solely between you and those third parties, under their own terms.
