Disclaimer
Information published on MarineServicesUK is provided for general information and guidance only. It is intended to help UK boat owners understand marine services, likely costs and the factors worth considering before contacting a professional provider.
No professional advice
MarineServicesUK does not provide marine engineering, mechanical, electrical, surveying, legal, financial, insurance or other professional advice.
Information on this website should not be treated as a substitute for inspection, diagnosis or advice from a suitably experienced professional who has assessed the particular vessel, engine, equipment or circumstances.
Marine safety
Boats, engines, lifting operations, electrical systems, fuel systems, road transport and maintenance work can involve significant safety risks.
Do not rely solely on general website guidance where safety or vessel integrity may be affected.
Appropriate work should be carried out or assessed by suitably competent people where professional knowledge, specialist equipment or certification is required.
Prices and cost estimates
Any prices, cost ranges or examples published on MarineServicesUK are provided as general planning guidance only.
Actual prices may vary according to vessel size, engine type, location, labour requirements, parts, access, transport distance, lifting arrangements, service-provider pricing and other circumstances.
Published examples do not constitute quotations or guarantees of the amount that a particular provider will charge.
Always obtain a current quotation and confirm exactly what is included before authorising work or incurring expenditure.
Accuracy of information
We aim to provide useful and reasonably accurate information, but marine products, prices, regulations, businesses and industry practices can change.
MarineServicesUK does not guarantee that all information on the website is complete, error-free, current or suitable for every situation.
Where information appears important to a purchasing, maintenance, safety or transport decision, it should be independently verified before action is taken.
Marine businesses and service providers
MarineServicesUK may mention, list, link to or provide information about independent marine businesses and service providers.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, inclusion on MarineServicesUK does not mean that we certify, guarantee or endorse a provider's:
- Qualifications or technical competence
- Insurance cover
- Pricing
- Availability
- Quality of workmanship
- Suitability for a particular vessel or job
Users should make their own checks before entering into an agreement with a marine business.
Paid listings and advertising
MarineServicesUK may offer paid listings, featured positions, advertising or other promotional opportunities to marine businesses.
Payment for enhanced visibility does not constitute a guarantee or endorsement of the advertiser, and users remain responsible for deciding whether a business is suitable for their requirements.
Third-party services and contracts
MarineServicesUK does not normally provide the marine services described in its guides and is not normally a party to contracts entered into between users and independent service providers.
Any quotation, booking, payment, repair agreement, storage arrangement or transport contract entered into directly with another business is between the user and that business.
The relevant provider is responsible for its own services, pricing, representations, contractual terms and performance.
External links
MarineServicesUK may contain links to external websites operated by businesses, manufacturers, organisations or other third parties.
External links are provided for convenience or additional information. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their accuracy, availability, content, security or privacy practices.
User responsibility
You are responsible for deciding whether information published on MarineServicesUK is appropriate for your circumstances.
Before making a significant decision concerning a boat, engine, storage arrangement or transport movement, consider obtaining appropriate professional advice and more than one quotation where useful.
Limitation of liability
Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so.
Subject to applicable law, MarineServicesUK and its operator accept no responsibility for loss arising solely from reliance on general information published on the website or from the acts, omissions, pricing or performance of independent third-party service providers.
MarineServicesUK is not responsible for indirect or consequential loss resulting from decisions made without appropriate professional assessment of the particular vessel or circumstances.
Website availability
We do not guarantee that MarineServicesUK will always be available, uninterrupted or free from technical errors.
Content may be changed, updated or removed when necessary.
