Brokerage terms

1. Sale instruction. The owner appoints Ash Marine as the owner’s broker/agent to advertise and arrange a sale of the boat on the terms in this agreement. The owner remains the seller of the boat. Ash Marine must identify the owner as seller to a prospective buyer before the buyer enters into a sale contract, unless a different arrangement is agreed in writing and reviewed for legal compliance.

2. Commission and sale proceeds. If a sale is completed to a buyer introduced or secured through Ash Marine during this instruction, the commission is 8% of the final sale price, subject to a minimum commission of £500, plus VAT at the applicable rate. Commission is payable on completion of the sale and may be deducted from the sale proceeds before the balance is paid to the owner.

The owner authorises Ash Marine to receive the buyer’s cleared funds as the owner’s agent, deduct the commission and other sums properly due under this agreement, and pay the remaining balance to the owner. Ash Marine will provide an itemised completion statement. Payment will be made to the bank account nominated by the owner once funds have cleared and any agreed deductions have been accounted for. Bank details will be arranged separately before payment.

Ash Marine will refer any offer below the agreed asking price to the owner for approval. Ash Marine may not agree a lower price without the owner’s recorded consent.

3. Storage charges. The first six weeks of storage are free, beginning on the agreed storage start date recorded in this agreement. From the start of week seven, storage is charged weekly: up to and including 5 metres, £13.50 plus VAT; over 5 metres, £17.50 plus VAT. VAT is additional at the applicable rate.

Storage charges continue until the boat and any included property are collected or otherwise removed, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Ash Marine will give the owner reasonable notice of charges becoming payable and of any change required to storage arrangements.

4. Insurance and care of property. The owner is responsible for arranging and maintaining suitable insurance for the boat, engine, trailer, equipment and personal property while at Ash Marine or otherwise handled under this instruction. The owner must check with their insurer that cover remains valid while the property is stored with a broker and during any viewings, movement, launching or trial, as applicable.

The owner’s insurance responsibility does not exclude or limit any duty or liability Ash Marine has under applicable law, including liability that cannot legally be excluded. Ash Marine will take reasonable care of the property while it is in Ash Marine’s possession or control.

5. Repairs and other work. Ash Marine will describe any proposed chargeable work and obtain the owner’s approval before carrying it out. Approval may be recorded through this form, email or another written method. Emergency work reasonably necessary to protect the boat or prevent immediate further damage should be discussed with the owner where practicable.

The owner authorises Ash Marine to deduct the documented cost of work approved by the owner to rectify issues with the boat, engine or trailer from the sale proceeds before paying the remaining balance to the owner. Ash Marine will provide an itemised invoice or work statement. Any work not approved by the owner will not be deducted under this clause unless the owner later agrees in writing or the amount is otherwise legally recoverable.

6. After-sale claims and expenses. The owner is responsible for after-sale costs and liabilities only to the extent that they are legally the owner’s responsibility as seller, including any claim that arises from the owner’s breach of this agreement, inaccurate or incomplete information supplied by the owner, or a condition or defect for which the owner is legally responsible. The owner must promptly tell Ash Marine about any relevant claim and reasonably assist with responding to it.

Ash Marine may deduct from sale proceeds an after-sale amount only where the owner has agreed the specific amount in writing or the amount is established as legally payable by the owner. Ash Marine will provide an itemised explanation and supporting evidence. Ash Marine must not deduct a disputed amount merely because a claim has been made. This clause does not transfer to the owner any liability caused by Ash Marine’s own breach of contract, negligence or other act or omission, and does not restrict any rights a buyer has under applicable law.

7. Owner’s information and authority. The owner must provide accurate information about ownership, condition, history, equipment, engine, trailer and any known faults or repairs. The owner authorises Ash Marine to use the information and images supplied to advertise the boat and answer prospective buyers’ questions. The owner must notify Ash Marine promptly if information changes.

8. Online agreement. By entering your full name and ticking the agreement box, you intend to sign and agree to this brokerage instruction and its terms. Ash Marine will retain a record of the version accepted, the date and time of acceptance and the completed form, and will send you a copy by email.

9. Cancellation rights for online signing. If you are contracting with Ash Marine as a consumer and enter into this agreement online, you generally have 14 days from the day after the agreement is made to cancel the brokerage service contract. You may cancel by sending a clear statement to Ash Marine LLP, C13 Dart Business Park, Topsham, Exeter EX3 0QH, or by email to ashmarine@msn.com. No reason is required.

If you ask Ash Marine to begin providing brokerage services during that 14-day period, and later cancel, you may have to pay a proportionate amount for services supplied up to cancellation, where the law permits. Your statutory cancellation rights are not removed by this agreement. If the service is fully performed during the cancellation period, the right to cancel ends only where the statutory conditions have been met, including your express request and acknowledgement.

You may use this cancellation wording, but do not have to: “I give notice that I cancel my brokerage service contract for [boat make/model], agreed on [date]. Owner name: [name]. Address: [address]. Date: [date].” Include your signature if sending the notice on paper.

Confirm and sign

I confirm that suitable insurance is in place and that I have checked that storage, viewings, movement, launching and trials, as applicable, are covered.
I confirm that the information supplied is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge, and authorise Ash Marine to photograph, advertise and show the boat to prospective buyers.
Full name to sign this agreement *
By entering my full name and ticking this box, I confirm that I have read and agree to this brokerage agreement, including the commission, storage, insurance, authorised work and after-sale expense terms.

These choices are optional. If you leave them unticked, Ash Marine will wait until your cancellation period has ended before starting the service.

I expressly request Ash Marine to begin brokerage services before my 14-day cancellation period ends.
I understand that if I cancel after requesting an early start, a proportionate charge for services already supplied may be payable as explained above and permitted by law.
