1. About this Website

This Website is an informational site presenting the services of Refúgio Botânico (natural swimming pools, ornamental ponds, and aquatic planting projects). It is not an online shop — no purchases or payments are processed through the Website itself.

2. Prices and information shown

Prices, ranges, and timelines shown on the Website (e.g. price-per-m² indications, construction timelines) are approximate and provided for general guidance only. Final terms for any project are set out in a quote and/or written agreement agreed individually with the client.

3. Contractual relationship for projects

Any pool, pond, or planting project is governed exclusively by the individual written contract signed between Refúgio Botânico and the client, which sets out guarantees, payment terms, and execution conditions. These Website Terms and Conditions do not replace or override that contract.

You agree not to use the Website in any way that could damage, disable, or impair it, or interfere with any other party’s use of the Website.

6. Links to third-party websites

The Website may contain links to third-party websites (e.g. social media). I am not responsible for the content or privacy practices of external sites.

7. Limitation of liability

I make reasonable efforts to keep the Website’s information accurate and up to date, but do not guarantee it is free of errors or omissions, and accept no liability for decisions made solely on the basis of Website content without direct confirmation from me.
