Information Completeness & Liability

Burtman.net and its contributors fully disclaim all responsibility and liability for any and all results of copying or attempting anything found on this website.

It is always your responsibility to protect yourself and others from harm, and to prevent damage to property.

All guides and descriptions are to be considered incomplete and indicative only of how something may be done. No attempt is made to provide guaranteed, accurate, proper, correct or perfect guidance, advice or instructions for any tool, device, conversion, repair, workaround or other process.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a blog, designed to share the self-guided journey of one man, using, in many cases, old tools and potentially outdated methods. While many of the guides and articles provide steps for carrying out certain tasks, you are compelled to check everything with a reputable, professional source, before attempting to replicate any such steps.

By acting on any content from this website, you accept full personal liability for all results of your actions and waive any perceived or actual right to hold liable anyone connected with Burtman.net for the same. Furthermore, you agree and accept that any safety notice or important step that may be missing or incorrect, from any guide or article on this site, shall be considered irrelevant, as you will endeavor to seek the necessary guidance from an experienced professional, prior to attempting to follow such a guide or article, and thereby, shall become informed of the missing or incorrect information, before it becomes important or relevant, mitigating any risk that such an error or omission may have otherwise carried.

In short, read and enjoy, but everything is on you, if you take action.

As a non-commercial website, Burtman.net may not be required to abide by UCC rules, maritime law, commercial codes, policy, statutes, by-laws, legislation, rules, mandates, guidance, procedures, or any other form of commercial obligation. This site is operated as a private member's organization, not for profit, and runs under its own jurisdiction and rules. We have no obligation to comply with requests, demands, summonses, warrants, or noticies, howsoever issued, and we do not give our private members' information to anyone, for any reason, unless we feel that doing so will genuinely aid in the investigation of a crime (having a victim and complainant, measurable loss or injury, and reasonable articulable suspicion of a given, identifiable individual). In such cases, we will decide what information to provide, and under what conditions.

Without limitation. Without prejudice.

Seriously.

Advertising

Burtman does not receive any form of compensation for product or manufacturer recommendation, and does not use tracking links when presenting products or manufacturers for any reason. There is no incentive for the recommendation of one product over another, besides the honest belief that it may be materially superior or more appropriate in some way.

If you would like to advertise a product or service on this website, you've got to first join the site and make your intention clear, on the signup form. Burtman.net does not endorse products that have not been tested personally or recommended by a trusted source (not the manufacturer or their agents), and, as a rule, declines advertising requests for unrelated products and large companies. If a product or service is not considered to be beneficial to the van-life community, there is no way this website will advertise it.

Accounts

This approach means that there is not a single spam comment anywhere on the site, so you can be assured of a pleasant and useful visit. Burtman and the moderators reserve the right to deny or delete user accounts that violate our house rules, without notice or reason. If an account is deleted, comments and articles created by that account may remain on the website, if they are considered useful to the community.

For full information about accounts and data processing, please see the "Why Sign Up?" post, and the Privacy Policy, respectively.

If you like this website and its content, please consider joining, and tell a friend about it. This helps me to keep going with the work I do and to keep sharing the fun, learning and humor. You can also donate, if you find my work enjoyable, useful, or both, by clicking on the coffee cup icon at the bottom of any page, or visiting the Burtman 'Buy Me A Coffee' Page. All support is received with immense gratitude.

¹ Where such a difference of opinion carries technical implications, it is wise to consult additional resources, before carrying out any task. If you find incorrect or incomplete information in any guest author's guidance, please leave a comment on that article, so it can be rectified by the author, or by one of our editors.
