Terms & Conditions

For Everyone Using Our Website

Introduction

We are an online service provider and through our website we offer information in relation to a number of products and services used in the yachting industry. Some of these products and services are offered at third party websites which are linked to via our website. Where this is the case you will be bound by the third party’s terms and conditions.

In these Terms and Conditions, “we”, “our” and “us” means Yachtowner.co or any associated company, and “you” and “your” means any person who uses our website. If you are unsure about any aspect of these Terms & Conditions, or have any questions regarding our relationship with you, please contact us.

About our online services

We provide an independent online informational resource about yachting. We aim to provide you with the information you need to make informed choices in yachting, included those on which product or service best suits your needs.

If you would like to request a product or service directly from us or from a supplier presented on our website, we will ask you a number of questions. We will use your answers to produce a list of quotations based on the answers you give and provide the information you need to help decide which is the right product or service for you. This will enable you to make your own choice about how to proceed. We don’t offer advice or make recommendations.

How are we paid?

You will not be charged for using our website. Instead, when you use our website to buy a product or service from us, you pay us for that product or service. If you use our website to buy a product or service from a third party, that third party might pay a commission to us.

What are your responsibilities?

Purchase obligations

We will provide you with quotations for goods or services based on the information you have provided to us. Where we ask questions to help source quotations, you are responsible for:

Answering all questions honestly, completely and to the best of your knowledge, and for ensuring that any assumptions made are correct.

Failure to do so may lead to your quotation being invalid or an increase in cost.

In order to accept a quotation provided by us you will need to accept it in writing, where after we will introduce you to the right person directly at the service provider.
Before purchasing products or services it is extremely important that all the information the supplier holds on you is accurate. You should therefore ensure that all information you provide to us is complete and accurate. Neither we nor anyone else will check this information for you. Again, failure to do this may lead to your quotation being invalid or an increase in the cost of that product or service.
It is important that you read the supplier-company’s terms and conditions to check that you understand and agree with them. The supplier-company’s terms and conditions are not the same as ours and they will be the terms you agree to when you accept a quotation.
It is important that you read all documents issued to you and ensure that you are aware of the terms that apply. Failure to comply with the supplier-company’s terms and conditions could increase costs, invalidate services or similar.
You should also check that all your details on documents are correct, including any assumptions that may have been made on your behalf by the supplier. If the information supplied by you is not correct, it is your responsibility to notify the supplier-company. Failure to inform the supplier of any errors or missing information could increase costs, invalidate services or similar.
