i. How a Project Contract Is Formed
Website descriptions, quotations, brochures, configurators, renderings and discussions are invitations to enquire and are not binding offers. A yacht-building contract arises only when both parties sign the Yacht Building Agreement and the Builder receives any required initial payment. If project documents conflict, the following order applies unless the signed Agreement states otherwise: (1) signed Change Orders; (2) the Yacht Building Agreement; (3) the Specification and approved drawings; (4) these Terms; and (5) other expressly incorporated documents. The signed project documents prevail over general website content.
3. Design, Changes and Construction
The Builder shall design and construct the Yacht substantially in accordance with the Specification, approved drawings, applicable mandatory law and any classification or flag-state requirements expressly identified in the Agreement. Minor substitutions or deviations may be made where reasonably necessary because an item is unavailable, obsolete or unsuitable, provided that the replacement is of equivalent or better quality and does not materially reduce the Yacht’s intended performance, appearance or value. Any material change requires a Change Order stating the scope, price adjustment and effect on the Delivery Date. The Builder is not required to begin varied work until the Client has approved the Change Order and paid any requested deposit. Client-requested changes after design approval may include redesign, procurement, cancellation, storage and rework costs.
4. Price, Payment and Client Responsibilities
The Client shall pay the Contract Price in the currency and instalments stated in the payment schedule. Unless expressly stated otherwise, prices exclude VAT, import duties, registration charges, delivery costs, owner-supplied-item costs and taxes imposed outside the United Kingdom. Each milestone invoice is due within the period stated in the Agreement. The Client may raise a genuine, particularised dispute before the due date but shall pay the undisputed balance on time. Overdue sums bear interest at the rate allowed by applicable law or, for business Clients, the rate stated in the Agreement. The Builder may suspend work on reasonable written notice while a material payment default continues, with resulting reasonable cost and schedule consequences added to the Agreement. Consumer Clients retain all mandatory statutory remedies and protections.
i. Client Responsibilities
The Client shall provide accurate information, decisions, approvals and access reasonably required for the project by the stated deadlines; nominate an authorised representative; ensure funding is available; and obtain any owner-specific registration, import, operational or tax advice. Owner-supplied items must be delivered on time, fit for purpose, compliant with applicable requirements and accompanied by necessary documentation. The Client is responsible for delay and reasonable additional cost caused by late decisions, inaccurate information or unsuitable owner-supplied items, except to the extent caused by the Builder.
ii. Construction, Subcontractors and Quality
The Builder shall use appropriately skilled personnel and exercise reasonable skill and care. It may appoint reputable designers, naval architects, surveyors, suppliers and subcontractors while remaining responsible for performance of its contractual obligations. Natural variations in timber, leather, stone and other luxury materials, and immaterial differences in colour, grain or finish, are not defects. The Client and its surveyor may make reasonable pre-arranged visits, subject to safety, confidentiality and non-interference requirements.
5. Inspection, Trials, Delivery and Title
The Builder shall carry out dock tests and sea trials reasonably appropriate to verify conformity with the Agreement. The Client may attend on reasonable notice at its own risk and cost, subject to the master’s authority and applicable safety rules. The Builder shall notify the Client of material non-conformities identified during testing and remedy them before delivery or agree a written rectification plan. Performance figures are subject to the expressly stated tolerances and test conditions, including load, weather, sea state, fuel, equipment cleanliness and measurement method.
i. Delivery and Acceptance
When the Yacht is substantially complete and ready for delivery, the Builder shall issue a written notice of completion. The Client shall inspect promptly and may identify material departures from the Agreement in a written punch list. Minor items that do not materially prevent safe and lawful use shall not postpone delivery and shall be completed within a reasonable period. Acceptance occurs when the Client signs the delivery protocol, takes possession, uses the Yacht other than for agreed trials, or unreasonably fails to complete acceptance within the stated period. Delivery is conditional upon payment of all sums then due and completion of agreed registration, insurance and compliance formalities. If the Client fails to take delivery, the Builder may arrange secure storage, maintenance and insurance at the Client’s reasonable cost and risk, subject to applicable law.
ii. Title, Risk and Security
Title and risk shall pass at the point specified in the Yacht Building Agreement. Unless the Agreement expressly provides otherwise, risk remains with the Builder until delivery and title passes only when the Builder has received the Contract Price and all other sums due in cleared funds. Before title passes, the Client shall not create or permit any mortgage, lien or other security interest over the Yacht or identified project materials. Any agreed transfer of title in work in progress is subject to the Builder’s possessory and contractual rights and does not transfer operational control or risk unless expressly stated.
6. Warranty and After-Sales Support
The Builder warrants that, at delivery, the Yacht will materially conform to the Agreement and that its workmanship will be free from material defects for the warranty period stated in the Agreement. The Client shall notify the Builder promptly in writing, provide reasonable evidence and access, and take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. The Builder may inspect and, at its option, repair or replace defective work, or provide another remedy required by law. Manufacturer warranties shall be passed through where permitted. The warranty does not cover fair wear and tear, accident, misuse, racing, overloading, unauthorised alteration or repair, inadequate maintenance, corrosion or fouling caused by neglect, consumables, or defects in owner-supplied items. These exclusions do not apply where the loss was caused by the Builder or where applicable law provides otherwise.
7. Delay, Suspension and Termination
The Delivery Date shall be extended to the extent delay is caused by an approved Change Order, Client default, late Client decision, owner-supplied item, authority or classification requirement not attributable to the Builder, or a Force Majeure Event. A Force Majeure Event means an event beyond the affected party’s reasonable control that actually prevents, hinders or delays performance, including natural disaster, war, terrorism, civil disorder, epidemic, government restriction, sanctions, embargo, labour disruption not limited to the affected party’s workforce, or critical supply interruption that could not reasonably have been avoided. The affected party shall give prompt written notice describing the event, anticipated impact and mitigation measures, use reasonable endeavours to overcome its effects, and provide updates. Force majeure does not excuse payment already due. If the event continues beyond the long-stop period stated in the Agreement, either party may terminate on written notice, with financial consequences determined under the termination provisions.
i. Suspension and Termination
Either party may terminate for a material breach that is not remedied within a reasonable cure period after written notice, or on the other party’s insolvency where termination is lawful. The Builder may suspend or terminate for persistent non-payment or serious Client interference with safe construction after giving appropriate notice. The Client may terminate for prolonged culpable delay exceeding any agreed long-stop date or for an irremediable material failure to conform. On termination, the parties shall prepare an account of the value of work properly completed, committed third-party costs, amounts paid, reasonable demobilisation and storage costs, and any damages or refunds due, subject to applicable law. Any contractual cancellation right for convenience, including the treatment of deposits and work in progress, must be expressly stated in the Yacht Building Agreement. Nothing limits a consumer’s mandatory cancellation or statutory termination rights.
8. Liability and Insurance
Nothing in the Agreement excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, breach of title obligations, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Subject to those exceptions and to any consumer rights, neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss. For business Clients only, the Builder’s aggregate liability arising from the Agreement shall not exceed the cap expressly stated in the Yacht Building Agreement, except for liabilities identified above. Any exclusions, caps, liquidated damages or agreed delay payments shall be construed in accordance with applicable law and shall not reduce remedies that a consumer is legally entitled to receive.
i. Insurance
The Builder shall maintain insurance appropriate for its construction activities and the allocation of risk under the Agreement. The Client shall arrange hull, machinery, protection and indemnity, crew, transit and other operational cover effective no later than the point at which risk passes. Each party shall provide reasonable evidence of required insurance on request. Insurance does not relieve either party of its contractual obligations.
9. Intellectual Property, Confidentiality and Website Content
All website text, images, renderings, logos, design concepts, downloadable materials and other content are owned by or licensed to the Builder and are protected by intellectual-property laws. You may view and print reasonable extracts for your own non-commercial evaluation of our services, but you may not reproduce, modify, distribute, scrape, publish or commercially exploit them without written consent. Pre-existing designs, methods, software, know-how, branding and standard details remain the property of their owner. Subject to full payment, a Client receives the project-specific licence stated in the Yacht Building Agreement. Website imagery may include concepts, optional equipment or computer-generated representations; specifications and availability may change, and only the signed project documents are contractually binding. Each party shall keep non-public project information confidential, subject to lawful disclosure and agreed professional use.
10. Compliance and Data Protection
Each party shall comply with applicable anti-bribery, anti-money-laundering, sanctions, export-control, tax and data-protection laws. The Client shall provide reasonable know-your-client, source-of-funds, beneficial-ownership and intended-use information for a project. Personal data submitted through this website or during a project will be processed as described in the Builder’s Privacy Notice. Use of cookies and similar technologies is explained in the Cookie Notice, with consent requested where required by law. Separate Privacy and Cookie Notices should be made readily accessible from every website page.
11. Governing Law and General Provisions
The Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising from it are governed by the law of England and Wales. The parties shall first refer any dispute to senior representatives for good-faith negotiation and may agree to mediation. Unless the Yacht Building Agreement provides for a specified maritime arbitration procedure, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction for business Clients. A consumer may bring proceedings in any court available under mandatory consumer law, and nothing in this clause deprives a consumer of mandatory protections in the country of habitual residence.
i. General
We may update these website Terms from time to time. The version displayed on the website applies from its stated update date; changes will not retrospectively alter a signed Yacht Building Agreement. Formal project notices must be given using the methods and addresses stated in that Agreement and should not be sent solely through social media or informal messaging. No failure or delay in enforcing a right is a waiver. If any provision is invalid or unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed without affecting the remainder. No person other than the parties has rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 unless a signed Agreement expressly states otherwise.
