Terms and Conditions

DISCLAIMER

This report is prepared solely for the named Client and represents our professional opinion based on a visual, non-destructive inspection conducted on the specified date(s). The inspection was carried out diligently, in good faith, and without prejudice, limited to areas that were visible and accessible at the time.

Findings and observations reflect the vessel’s condition only as observed on the day of inspection. This report does not serve as a warranty or guarantee against hidden defects, latent conditions, or future faults. It does not assess fitness for purpose, merchantability, or suitability for any specific use.

No checks were performed for manufacturer recalls or compliance notices; Clients are advised to undertake their own independent verification. Components were not dismantled unless expressly stated.

This report is intended exclusively for the Client named herein. No other party may rely on its contents without the express written consent of OceanPro Boat Inspections WA. No liability is accepted for unauthorised use or reliance by third parties.

OceanPro Boat Inspections WA, including Director David Nunn, accepts no responsibility for any errors, omissions or misjudgements made in the preparation of this report. The inspection and report are governed by our standard terms and conditions.

GENERAL TERMS / LIABILITY & LIMITATIONS

The Client acknowledges that while OceanPro Boat Inspections WA employs recognised industry practices for fault detection, not all defects may be identified during a visual inspection.

OceanPro Boat Inspections WA is not liable for any loss, damage, delay, or consequential expense (including financial loss or loss of opportunity) arising from the services provided, except where such loss is proven to result from wilful misconduct or gross negligence. In any case, liability is capped at AUD $2,000 per claim or related series of claims.

Any claim must be notified in writing within 30 days of the Client becoming aware (or reasonably expected to become aware) of the issue. Liability does not extend beyond 1 month from the date of service.

All protections, exclusions and limitations apply equally to OceanPro Boat Inspections WA’s employees, agents and subcontractors as if they were party to this agreement.

The Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless OceanPro Boat Inspections WA, its employees, contractors and agents against any claims, proceedings or liabilities arising from this service, including damage to property, personal injury or legal costs, except where caused by proven negligence.

The Client assumes full responsibility for the vessel or trailer at all times, including transport to and from the inspection location, while onsite, during slipping or launching, or any handling required for the inspection.

This report does not establish ownership or confirm the absence of any encumbrance, financial interest or lien.

This report does not assess vessel stability, intended performance, or compliance with design specifications. No assurances or warranties are given on these matters. This report does not constitute a seaworthy certificate, nor does it certify the vessel for any specific use, registration or regulatory compliance.

Internal inspection of manifolds and risers on inboard engines is not included, as these components are not accessible without engine disassembly. Buyers are strongly advised to engage a qualified mechanic to dismantle and confirm their condition, or to replace these components immediately after purchase if supporting documentation is not available.

Transom internal condition cannot be verified beyond standard non-destructive measures. This includes any inspection beyond visual checks and percussion (tap) testing.

Moisture meter readings are valid only if the vessel has remained dry and out of the water for at least four consecutive days. Testing is performed using a Tramex Skipper 5 in accordance with its user manual. Timber or plywood structures sheathed in fibreglass, including transoms, are excluded.

Compression testing is conducted only where spark plugs are freely accessible without specialised tools or disassembly. Where electronic or comparative compression testing is used, results are indicative only and should be verified by further mechanical assessment. Detailed spark plug analysis is not included and should be carried out by experienced specialists.

Engine oil analysis is not performed unless arranged separately and should be conducted by a licensed marine mechanic for meaningful insight.

Electrical systems are tested only for basic power presence. No detailed assessment is made of individual wiring condition, 240V circuits, resistance or load capacity, and no dismantling is performed.

Trailers with excessive ball weight may limit the scope of evaluation; any such limitations will be noted in the report.

By engaging our services, the Client authorises OceanPro Boat Inspections WA to perform reasonable, non-invasive testing and visual access measures, unless otherwise instructed in writing.

Travel fees may apply depending on vessel location and logistics.

Inspections may be rescheduled at OceanPro’s discretion if conditions are unsafe or impractical due to weather (e.g. heavy rain, extreme heat) or other health and safety considerations.

Full details of what is included or excluded from inspections are available at www.oceanproinspections.com.

These terms are governed by the laws of Western Australia. Any disputes shall be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Western Australia.

These terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties, overriding any prior discussions or understandings.

Both parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of all information shared during this engagement, except as required by law or with prior written consent.
