Terms and conditions
1 LIABILITY
1.1 We shall not be liable for any loss of damage caused by events of circumstances beyond our reasonable control (such as severe weather conditions, the actions of third parties not employed by us or any defect in a customer’s or third party’s property); this extends to loss of damage to vessels, gear, equipment or other property left with us for work or storage, and harm to persons entering our premises or using any of our facilities or equipment.
1.2 We shall take reasonable and proportionate steps having regard to the nature and scale of our business to maintain security at our premises, and to maintain our facilities and equipment in reasonably good working order; but in the absence of any negligence or other breach of duty by us vessels and other property are left with us at the customer’s own risk and customers should ensure that their own personal and property insurance adequately covers such risks.
1.3 We shall not be under any duty to salvage or preserve a customer’s vessel of other property from the consequences of any defect in the vessel or property concerned unless we have been expressly engaged to do so by the customer on commercial terms. Similarly we shall not be under any duty to salvage or preserve a customer’s vessel or other property from the consequences of an accident which has not been caused by our negligence or some breach of duty on our part. However we reserve the right to do so in any appropriate circumstances, particularly where a risk is posed to the safety of people, property or the environment. Where we do so we shall be entitled to charge the customer concerned on a normal commercial basis.
1.4 Customers may themselves be liable for any loss or damage caused by them, their crew or their vessel and while their vessel or other property is on our premises or is being worked on by us they shall be obliged to maintain adequate insurance, including third party liability insurance cover for not less than £2,000,000.00, and, where appropriate, Employers’ Liability cover in respect of any employee. Customers shall be obliged to produce evidence of such insurance to us within 7 days of a request to do so.
2 PRICES AND ESTIMATES
2.1 In the absence of express agreement to the contrary our price for work shall be based on labour and materials expended and services provided.
2.2 We will exercise reasonable skill and judgement when we give an estimate or indication of price. However such estimates are always subject to the accuracy of information provided by the customer and are usually based only n a superficial examination and will not include the cost of any emergency work which may be necessary to the vessel, gear or equipment nor the cost of any extensions to the work comprised in the estimate.
2.3 We will inform the customer promptly of any proposed increase in estimated prices and the reason for it and will only proceed with the work or supply with the approval of the customer. The customer shall remain responsible for the cost of labour and materials already supplied or remaining to be supplied which are not affected by the proposed increase in price.
3 DELAYS
3.1 Any time given for completion of our work is given in good faith but is not guaranteed. We shall not be responsible for any delay in completion of the work or for the consequences of any such delay unless it arises from our wilful acts or omissions or from our negligence.
4 VESSEL MOVEMENTS
4.1 We reserve the right to move any vessel, gear, equipment or other property at any time for reasons of safety, security or good management of our business and premises.
5 PAYMENT
5.1 Payments for parts are due upon quotation prior to ordering, upon commencement of labour the prepayment transfers to works carried out and the title of the parts remain with Bottom Line until full final payment has been received by us, see 6.1.
5.2 Unless otherwise agreed between us payment for all work, goods and services shall be due immediately on invoice date. Payment shall be deemed to have been made when we receive cash or cleared funds at our bank.
5.3 We have the right to charge interest on any sum outstanding for more than 30 days (except in the case of a reasonable and proportionate retention by the customer of any amount genuinely in dispute between us and the customer) on the outstanding balance of 4% above Bank of England base rate which may be calculated daily up to date of actual payment, In the case of business customers this rate will be substituted with the current rate applicable under late payment legislation.
5.4 We reserve the general right (“a general lien”) to detain and hold on to a customer’s vessel or other property pending payment by the customer of all sums due to us. We shall be entitled to charge the customer for storage and the provision of any ongoing services at our normal daily rates until payment (or provision of security) by the customer and removal of the vessel or property from our premises. The customer shall be entitled to remove the vessel or other property upon providing proper security, for example a letter of guarantee from a Bank reasonably acceptable to us or lodgement of a cash deposit with a professional third party agent, sufficient to cover the debt with interest and, where the debt is contested, a reasonable provision for our prospective legal costs. This right does not affect the customer’s entitlement to withhold a proportionate part of the price in respect of alleged defects but where that amount is in dispute between us the customer shall be required to provide security for the full amount pending resolution of dispute.
5.5 For visiting vessels (Vessels not registered on the Isle of Man), a security deposit equal to the estimated service costs plus 15% will be required before engineers travel to the vessel. Any funds left on account after the service is complete will be returned to the customers bank account. Payment types accepted for service work on visiting vessels are as follows: Bank transfer, Payment by Visa or Mastercard (made in person only).
5.6 Our customers’ attention is drawn also to the note at clause 10.2 of these terms of business regarding other rights which exist at law.

Online guidance can be obtained at http://www.gov.im/oft/consumers/
7.2 A customer who is a consumer has certain minimum statutory rights regarding the return of defective goods and claims for losses. These rights are not affected by these terms.
7.3 In addition to the statutory rights provided by English law we guarantee our work for a period of 12 months from completion against all defects which are due to poor workmanship or defective materials supplied by us. This guarantee applies only to the customer to whom the work or materials were supplied. We shall be liable under this guarantee only for defects which appear during this 12 month period and which are promptly notified to us in writing at our trading address or registered office set out on our letterhead. The geographical are within which this guarantee will be honoured is restricted to the Isle of Man.
7.4 On notification of such defects, we will investigate the cause and if they are our responsibility under the terms of this guarantee we will promptly remedy them or, at our option, employ other contractors to do so. Any remedial work which is put in hand by the customer directly without first notifying us and allowing us a reasonable opportunity to inspect and agree such work and its cost will invalidate this guarantee in respect of those defects.
7.5 Where we supply goods or services to a partnership or a company or to a customer who is acting in the course of a business or a commercial operation (a “Business Customer”) then:
7.5.1 No article supplied by us to a Business Customer shall carry an express or implied term as to its quality or its fitness for any particular purpose unless prior to the supply the Business Customer has sufficiently explained the purpose for which it is required and made it clear that he is relying on our skill and judgement.

We shall not be responsible to the customers or third parties for the consequence of any person’s failure to respect any part of this condition but we shall be entitled to demand the immediate cessation of any work which in our view breaks these requirements.
9.2 While we or our subcontractors are working on a customers’ vessel or equipment the customer shall not have access to it except by prior arrangement. We will agree reasonable access when it is safe to do so and when it will not interrupt or interfere with our works schedule.

This act confers a right of sale on us in circumstances where customer fails to collect or accept re-delivery of the goods (which includes a vessel and any other property). A sale will not take place until we have given notice to the customer in accordance with the act. For the purpose of the act it is recorded that:
10.1.1 Goods for repair or other treatment are accepted by us on the basis that the customer is the owner of the goods or the owner’s authorised agent and that he will take delivery or arrange collection when repair or treatment has been carried out:

Such an action may involve the arrest of the vessel through the courts and its eventual sale by the court.

Sale of a vessel or other property may also occur through the enforcement of court order or judgement.
