These terms cover your use of overlandersquad.com. Overlander Squad is an independent site published by SMEFT. By reading the site or using our tools you agree to what follows. If you don’t, please don’t use the site.
General information, not professional advice
Our articles explain gear, vehicles, power systems and trip planning in general terms. They are not a substitute for a qualified mechanic, auto electrician, medical professional or local authority. Off-road driving, vehicle recovery, wiring, fuel storage, heaters and cooking in or near a vehicle all carry real risk. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your equipment, check local laws and land rules, and get hands-on training where it matters.
The first aid content on this site is for planning a kit only. It is not medical advice. Take a proper first aid course before a remote trip.
Accuracy, prices and specs
We link our sources and check figures before publishing, but manufacturers change specs, prices and availability all the time. A number that was right on the day we wrote it may not be right today. Confirm details with the seller or maker before you buy. If you spot a mistake, tell us and we’ll fix it.
Calculators and tools
The 12V power calculator and other tools on the site give rough estimates based on the numbers you enter. Real consumption depends on temperature, wiring, battery age and how you actually use your gear. Treat the results as a starting point for sizing, not a final design, and leave a safety margin.
Advertising and links
The site may show ads served by Google and its partners. An ad appearing next to an article does not mean we recommend that product or company. Brands do not pay us to appear in our articles. If that ever changes, or if we use affiliate links, we will say so clearly in the article itself.
We link to other websites for sources and further reading. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content or how they handle your data.
Content and photos
The text, graphics and tools on this site belong to Overlander Squad unless noted otherwise. You are welcome to quote a short passage with a link back to the original article. Please don’t republish whole articles or images without asking first. Photos from Unsplash and other sources are credited at the end of each article and remain the property of their photographers.
Comments
Keep comments on topic and civil. We remove spam, personal attacks, illegal content and promotional links without notice. You are responsible for what you post.
Limitation of liability
The site is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, Overlander Squad and SMEFT are not liable for any loss, damage or injury that results from using the site, acting on its content or relying on its tools. You make your own decisions about your vehicle, your gear and your trip.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms from time to time; the date at the top shows the latest version. How we handle personal data is explained in our Privacy Policy. Questions about these terms can go to overlandersquad@smeft.com or through the contact page.
