Details of the period and charges applicable to the Berth licence will be as per the invoice given to each licensee at the time that the license is granted.

3  Liability, Indemnity And Insurance

3.1 The Company shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused by any event or circumstance beyond its reasonable control (such as extreme weather conditions, the actions of third parties not employed by it or any defect in any part of a customer’s or third party’s property).  This extends to loss or damage to Vessels, gear, equipment or other goods left with it for work or storage, and harm to persons entering the Premises or the Harbour and/or using any facilities or equipment.

3.2 The Company shall take reasonable and proportionate steps having regard to the nature and scale of its business to maintain security at the Premises, and to maintain the facilities and equipment at the Premises and in the Harbour in reasonably good working order. But in the absence of any causative negligence or other breach of duty on the part of the Company, Vessels, gear, equipment and other property are left with the Company at the Owner’s own risk and Owners should ensure that their own personal and property insurance adequately covers such risks.

3.3 The distance between moorings is so calculated as to provide clear swinging room for the vessels authorised to occupy them under normal circumstances. There may, however, be conditions of wind and tide in which adjacent vessels may make contact with one another or adjacent supporter buoys and mooring equipment. In accepting a mooring or mooring site, a vessel’s owner must accept this possibility and agrees to indemnify Mylor Yacht Harbour Ltd against claims for damage so caused.

3.4 The Company shall not be under any duty to salvage or preserve an Owner’s Vessel or other property from the consequences of any defect in the Vessel or property concerned unless it shall have been expressly engaged to do so by the Owner on commercial terms. Similarly the Company shall not be under any duty to salvage or preserve an Owner’s Vessel or other property from the consequences of an accident for which the Company is not responsible. However the Company reserves 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 it does so it shall be entitled to charge the Owner concerned on a normal commercial charging basis and where appropriate, to claim a salvage reward.

3.5 Owners may themselves be liable for any loss or damage caused by them, their crew, guests, family members or their Vessels and they shall be obliged to maintain adequate insurance including third party liability cover for not less than £3,000,000, and, where appropriate, Employers’ Liability cover to at least the statutory minimum. The Owner shall be obliged to produce evidence to the Company of such insurance within 7 days of being requested to do so.

3.6 The Owner shall and shall procure that crew, guests and family members observe the Company’s Regulations, a copy of which is published on the Company’s website (www.mylor.com). In the event that the Owner or their agents behave in a manner deemed by the Company as unacceptable, the Company retains the right to terminate the licence in accordance with the clauses set out in section 8.

4  Address Details and Changes to Details

4.1 The Owner must supply the Company with their current postal address, phone number and email address and subsequently notify the Company of any changes to these or to the name or LOA of the Vessel.

4.2 All our customer data is held & processed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulations.   Please see our statement & privacy notice at www.mylor.com/privacy-notice  Contact Mylor Reception on 01326 372121 or email enquiries@mylor.com for more details.

5  Berth Allocation

5.1 The physical layout of every Harbour and Premises and the varying needs and obligations of the Company and its customers requires that the Company retains absolute control of Berth allocation within the Harbour and Premises. Accordingly the Owner shall not be entitled to the exclusive use of any particular Berth but shall use such Berth as is from time to time allocated to them by the Company.

6  Personal Nature of the Licence

6.1 This licence is personal to the Owner and relates to the Vessel described in the licence particulars. It may not be transferred or assigned to a new Owner or to a different Vessel, either temporarily or permanently, without the express written consent of the Company.  Attention is also drawn to clause 4 of the Company’s Regulations regarding commercial use.

6.2 Within 7 days of any agreement for the sale, transfer or mortgage of a Vessel subject to this licence the Owner shall notify the Company in writing of the name, address, email and telephone numbers of the Purchaser, Transferee or Mortgagee, as the case may be. Until we receive such notification, the named Owner will be considered as responsible for all charges in connection with the vessel and will remain bound by the terms of this agreement and the marina regulations.

7  Use of Berth by the Company When Vacant.

7.1 The company may have the use of the Berth when it is left vacant by the Owner.

8 Termination

8.1 The Company shall have the right (without prejudice to any other rights in respect of breaches of the terms of this Licence by the Owner) to terminate this licence in the following manner in the event of any breach by the Owner of this Licence;

8.1.1 Having regard to the nature and seriousness of the breach and the risk it poses for the financial or other security of the Company and/or of the Company’s customers and if the breach is capable of remedy, the Company may serve notice on the Owner specifying the breach and requiring them to remedy the breach within a reasonable time specified by the Company. Where the breach is serious or poses an immediate risk or threat to the health, safety or welfare of any other person or property the time specified for remedy may be immediate or extremely short. If the Owner fails to affect the remedy within that time, or if the breach is not capable of remedy, the Company may serve notice on the Owner requiring them to remove the Vessel from the Harbour or Premises immediately.

8.1.2 If the Owner fails to remove the Vessel on termination of this licence (whether under this Condition or otherwise), the Company shall be entitled:

8.1.2.1 To charge the Owner at the Company’s 24 hour rate for overnight visitors for each day between termination of this licence and the actual date of removal of the Vessel from the Harbour and Premises and/or

8.1.2.2 at the Owner’s risk (save in respect of loss or damage caused by the Company’s negligence or other breach of duty during such removal) to remove the Vessel from the Harbour and Premises and thereupon secure it elsewhere and charge the Owner with all costs reasonably arising out of such removal including alternative berthing fees.

8.1.3 Any notice of termination under this Licence shall, in the case of the Owner, be served personally on the Owner, sent by recorded delivery service to the Owner‘s last known address or sent by email to the address held on the Owner’s account. In the case of the Company shall be served at its principal place of business or registered office.

9  Rights of Sale and of Detention

9.1 Where the Company accepts a Vessel, gear, equipment or other goods for repair, refit, maintenance, berthing or storage the Company does so subject to the provisions of the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977. This Act confers a Right of Sale on the Company in circumstances where a customer fails to collect or accept redelivery of the goods (which includes a Vessel and/or any other property). Such sale will not take place until the Company has given notice to the customer in accordance with the Act. For the purpose of the Act it is recorded that:

9.1.1 Goods for repair or other treatment are accepted by the Company on the basis that the customer is the owner of the goods or the owner’s authorised agent and that they will take delivery or arrange collection when the repair or treatment has been carried out.

9.1.2 The Company’s obligation as custodian of goods accepted for storage ends on its notice to the customer of termination of that obligation.

9.1.3 The place for delivery and collection of goods shall be at the Company’s Premises unless agreed otherwise.

Advice regarding the Torts Act may be obtained from the Citizens Advice Bureau, Law Centre or any firm of Solicitors

9.2 Maritime Law entitles the Company in certain other circumstances to bring action against a Vessel to recover debt or damages. Such action may involve the arrest of the Vessel through the Courts and its eventual sale by the Court. Sale of a Vessel may also occur through the ordinary enforcement of a judgment debt against the Owner of a Vessel or other property.

9.3 The Company reserves a general right (“a general lien”) to detain and hold onto the Owner’s Vessel or other property pending payment by the Owner of any sums due to the Company. If the Licence is terminated or expires while the Company is exercising this right of detention it shall be entitled to charge the Owner at the Company’s 24 hour rate for overnight visitors for each day between termination or expiry of this licence and the actual date of payment (or provision of security) by the Owner and removal of the Vessel from the Harbour and Premises. The Owner shall at any time be entitled to remove the Vessel or other property upon providing proper security, for example a letter of guarantee from a Bank or a cash deposit, sufficient to cover the debt with interest and, where the debt is contested, a reasonable provision for the Company’s prospective legal costs.

10 Termination By Owner

10.1 This Licence may be terminated on 16 weeks’ written notice by the Owner to the Company.  In this event, the Company will be entitled to recalculate the charge for the Berth using the shorter term rate that would have been applicable to the actual period of the licence from 1st April to the date of expiry of the Notice of Termination instead of the annual rate, the amount so calculated not to exceed the annual charge originally contracted for berthing.  If this recalculation results in a balance payable to the Company then the Owner shall be required to pay that balance before removing the Vessel from the Harbour or Premises.  If there is a balance in favour of the Owner the Company shall pay it to the Owner upon the departure of the Vessel from the Harbour or Premises.

Accordingly the Owner shall not be entitled to the exclusive use of any particular Berth but shall use such Berth as is from time to time allocated to them by the Company.

6  Personal Nature of the Licence

6.1 This licence is personal to the Owner and relates to the Vessel described in the licence particulars. It may not be transferred or assigned to a new Owner or to a different Vessel, either temporarily or permanently, without the express written consent of the Company.  Attention is also drawn to clause 4 of the Company’s Regulations regarding commercial use.

6.2 Within 7 days of any agreement for the sale, transfer or mortgage of a Vessel subject to this licence the Owner shall notify the Company in writing of the name, address, email and telephone numbers of the Purchaser, Transferee or Mortgagee, as the case may be. Until we receive such notification, the named Owner will be considered as responsible for all charges in connection with the vessel and will remain bound by the terms of this agreement and the marina regulations.

7  Use of Berth by the Company When Vacant.

7.1 The company may have the use of the Berth when it is left vacant by the Owner.

8 Termination

8.1 The Company shall have the right (without prejudice to any other rights in respect of breaches of the terms of this Licence by the Owner) to terminate this licence in the following manner in the event of any breach by the Owner of this Licence;

8.1.1 Having regard to the nature and seriousness of the breach and the risk it poses for the financial or other security of the Company and/or of the Company’s customers and if the breach is capable of remedy, the Company may serve notice on the Owner specifying the breach and requiring them to remedy the breach within a reasonable time specified by the Company. Where the breach is serious or poses an immediate risk or threat to the health, safety or welfare of any other person or property the time specified for remedy may be immediate or extremely short. If the Owner fails to affect the remedy within that time, or if the breach is not capable of remedy, the Company may serve notice on the Owner requiring them to remove the Vessel from the Harbour or Premises immediately.

8.1.2 If the Owner fails to remove the Vessel on termination of this licence (whether under this Condition or otherwise), the Company shall be entitled:

8.1.2.1 To charge the Owner at the Company’s 24 hour rate for overnight visitors for each day between termination of this licence and the actual date of removal of the Vessel from the Harbour and Premises and/or

8.1.2.2 at the Owner’s risk (save in respect of loss or damage caused by the Company’s negligence or other breach of duty during such removal) to remove the Vessel from the Harbour and Premises and thereupon secure it elsewhere and charge the Owner with all costs reasonably arising out of such removal including alternative berthing fees.

8.1.3 Any notice of termination under this Licence shall, in the case of the Owner, be served personally on the Owner, sent by recorded delivery service to the Owner‘s last known address or sent by email to the address held on the Owner’s account. In the case of the Company shall be served at its principal place of business or registered office.

9  Rights of Sale and of Detention

9.1 Where the Company accepts a Vessel, gear, equipment or other goods for repair, refit, maintenance, berthing or storage the Company does so subject to the provisions of the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977. This Act confers a Right of Sale on the Company in circumstances where a customer fails to collect or accept redelivery of the goods (which includes a Vessel and/or any other property). Such sale will not take place until the Company has given notice to the customer in accordance with the Act. For the purpose of the Act it is recorded that:

9.1.1 Goods for repair or other treatment are accepted by the Company on the basis that the customer is the owner of the goods or the owner’s authorised agent and that they will take delivery or arrange collection when the repair or treatment has been carried out.

9.1.2 The Company’s obligation as custodian of goods accepted for storage ends on its notice to the customer of termination of that obligation.

9.1.3 The place for delivery and collection of goods shall be at the Company’s Premises unless agreed otherwise.

Advice regarding the Torts Act may be obtained from the Citizens Advice Bureau, Law Centre or any firm of Solicitors

9.2 Maritime Law entitles the Company in certain other circumstances to bring action against a Vessel to recover debt or damages. Such action may involve the arrest of the Vessel through the Courts and its eventual sale by the Court. Sale of a Vessel may also occur through the ordinary enforcement of a judgment debt against the Owner of a Vessel or other property.

9.3 The Company reserves a general right (“a general lien”) to detain and hold onto the Owner’s Vessel or other property pending payment by the Owner of any sums due to the Company. If the Licence is terminated or expires while the Company is exercising this right of detention it shall be entitled to charge the Owner at the Company’s 24 hour rate for overnight visitors for each day between termination or expiry of this licence and the actual date of payment (or provision of security) by the Owner and removal of the Vessel from the Harbour and Premises. The Owner shall at any time be entitled to remove the Vessel or other property upon providing proper security, for example a letter of guarantee from a Bank or a cash deposit, sufficient to cover the debt with interest and, where the debt is contested, a reasonable provision for the Company’s prospective legal costs.

10 Termination By Owner

10.1 This Licence may be terminated on 16 weeks’ written notice by the Owner to the Company.  In this event, the Company will be entitled to recalculate the charge for the Berth using the shorter term rate that would have been applicable to the actual period of the licence from 1st April to the date of expiry of the Notice of Termination instead of the annual rate, the amount so calculated not to exceed the annual charge originally contracted for berthing.  If this recalculation results in a balance payable to the Company then the Owner shall be required to pay that balance before removing the Vessel from the Harbour or Premises.  If there is a balance in favour of the Owner the Company shall pay it to the Owner upon the departure of the Vessel from the Harbour or Premises.

3. PRICES AND ESTIMATES
3.1 The price for the Work shall be the price set out in the Order, or if no price is quoted for the Work, the price will be determined based upon the labour and materials expended and services provided in accordance with the Company’s usual tariff at the time when the Work was performed, as duly invoiced to the Customer (the “Price”).
3.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Price will not include expenses incurred for pilotage, salvage, tugs, harbour dues and similar charges which shall be invoiced separately to the Customer.
3.3 The Company will exercise reasonable skill and judgment when giving an estimate or indication of Price.

The Company reserves its right to (a) increase the rates under its usual tariff (provided that such increase does not take place more than once in any twelve (12) months) and/or (b) subject to Clause 3.4, increase the Price for the Work.
3.4 The Company will inform the Customer of any proposed increase in the estimated Price, together with the reasons for such increase, and will proceed with the Work after having obtained the Customer’s approval (such approval not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld). 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 the Price.

4.1 Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties in writing, payment for all Work provided shall be due immediately upon receipt of the Company’s invoice. Payment shall be deemed to have been made when received by the Company in cash or cleared funds at the Company’s nominated bank account. Time for payment is of the essence.
4.2 If the Customer fails to make any payment due to the Company by the due date for payment, the Company has the right to charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of four percent (4%) above Bank of England base rate from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment.
4.3 If non-payment of an invoice results in the need for debt recovery action, the Company reserves the right to charge the Customer reasonable costs to cover such action in addition to interest and the overdue amount owed.
4.4 The Customer shall pay all amounts due under these Terms of Business in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding except as required or permitted by law. The Company may, without limiting its other rights or remedies, set off any amount owing to it by the Customer against any amount payable by the Company to the Customer.
4.5 To the extent permitted by law, the Customer hereby grants to the Company a lien and a continuing security interest, and, where applicable, a maritime lien, over the Vessel as security for payment of the Price until full payment of the Price by the Customer, or until the Customer has given security to the Company in a form acceptable to the Company (for example a letter of guarantee from a bank reasonably acceptable to the Company or lodgement of a cash deposit with a professional third party agent reasonably acceptable to the Company). The security provided shall be sufficient to cover the debt with interest and, where the debt is contested, a reasonable provision for the Company’s prospective legal costs and expenses.
4.6 The Company shall be entitled to charge the Customer for storage and the provision of any ongoing services at the Company’s normal daily rates until full payment (or provision of security) by the Customer and removal of the Vessel from the Company’s premises. The Customer shall be entitled to remove the Vessel upon providing proper security.

5. DELAYS
5.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, time estimates given for completion of the Work are given in good faith and without guarantee.
5.2 The Company shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance or completion of the Work, or for any such loss or damage resulting therefrom, unless the Company has expressly guaranteed completion by a specific date in writing, or the delay arises from its wilful acts or omissions or negligence.

6. THE VESSEL’S MOVEMENTS
6.1 The Company shall have the right to order such movements of the Vessel and such tests or trials it deems necessary in order to perform and determine the due completion of the Work and/or for reasons of safety, security or good management of the Company’s business and premises.
6.2 The costs of such movements, trials and/or tests including the cost of any bunkers and/or consumables shall be borne by the Customer.

7. TITLE AND RISK

8.1 The Company guarantees that, for a period of twelve (12) months from completion of the Work (the “Warranty Period”), the Work will be free of defects in workmanship and materials (when supplied by the Company) and in conformity with the agreed specification. The Customer shall give notice in writing (as per Clause 15) to the Company of any defects in material or workmanship (“Defective Work”) which may become apparent and shall provide the Company with sufficient evidence so as to establish the nature and extent of the Defective Work. This guarantee applies only to the Customer: a person who is not a Party to these Terms of Business shall not have any rights to enforce these Terms of Business.
8.2 The geographical area within which this guarantee will be honoured is restricted to the United Kingdom.
8.3 On notification by the Customer of the Defective Work, the Company will be given a reasonable opportunity to inspect the Defective Work and if it is the Company’s responsibility, the Company shall repair or re-perform, in whole or in part, at its discretion, the Defective Work.

8.4 The Customer shall, immediately after the discovery of any Defective Work, take all appropriate steps to mitigate any loss or damage and to prevent any Defective Work becoming more serious.
8.5 The Company shall not be liable for any Defective Work if the defect arose as a result of: (a) the Customer’s failure to follow the Company’s oral or written instructions; (b) the Company following any drawing, design or specifications supplied by the Customer; (c) fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence or abnormal working conditions; (d) materials supplied by the Customer and/or (e) changes made to ensure compliance with applicable statutory or regulatory standards.
8.6 Any remedial work which is put in hand by the Customer directly without first notifying the Company and allowing the Company a reasonable opportunity to inspect the Defective Work shall invalidate the guarantee provided under this Clause 8.

Mylor Yacht Harbour General Data Protection Statement and Privacy Policy

Mylor Yacht Harbour General Data Protection and Privacy Policy

Mylor Yacht Harbour Ltd. and Mylor Yacht Harbour (Holding Co.) Ltd. are the companies which provide goods and services to customers from the premises at Mylor Yacht Harbour, Falmouth, Cornwall, TR11 5UF. Both companies use the same customer database and data is held and processed in the following ways:

1.  Newsletter Subscribers
We hold and process the email addresses of customers or interested individuals who voluntarily subscribe to our Mylor Yacht Harbour and Harbourside Holidays Newsletters through our website. Customers or individuals who subscribe to either of these have requested to receive our newsletters by email and the information is not used for anything other than this purpose. Customers have the option to unsubscribe from this service at any time.

For the sending of newsletters, Mylor Yacht Harbour uses a bona fide third party email delivery service (currently Mail Chimp) and customer’s data is held and processed by them solely for email delivery purposes. They have assured us that: ‘Mail Chimp never sells subscriber lists, and neither we nor our third parties have a direct relationship with your subscribers or advertise our services to your subscribers’.

Data held for this purpose is processed under the lawful basis of Consent as set out in the General Data Protection Regulations.

2. Customers who use our Products and Services
We hold and process customer data in order to supply goods and services, fulfil contracts that customers have requested or because we have been asked to provide information such as a quote or estimate. We will also hold customer data because they have requested their details to be added to a list of customers awaiting the provision of services.

Customer’s personal data held and processed includes: names, addresses, emails, phone numbers and bank details (for Direct Debit by Premium Credit). Credit card information given by customers over the phone will be used to take payment as part of a contract but the card information is not held by Mylor Yacht Harbour once the transaction has taken place.

Other details held and processed may include customer’s boat name, type, make, LOA, draft, beam, service records and/or other associated equipment details.

This data is used to identify customer property and its location, fulfil contracts, supply services, create job cards, contracts or estimates, monitor & report on work processes, discuss issues and manage accounts. As a result, we are unable to provide any goods or services without holding and processing such relevant customer data.

As part of fulfilling a service or contract, certain customer information (as appropriate) may be passed to:

  • Couriers or companies where goods are ordered and sent directly to customers.
  • Credit service providers when this is requested as part of a berthing contract.
  • Manufacturers where warranties are registered on behalf of a customer or where warranty claims have been made.
  • Companies to whom we sub contract specialist work (this is usually boat name only).

Data is also held of contractors, retailers, service providers and manufacturers that supply Mylor Yacht Harbour with goods or services for the purposes of payment of invoices relating to purchases.

Customer Data held for this purpose is processed under the lawful basis of Contract as set out in the General Data Protection Regulations.

3. When Required by Law
Data will be processed where we are required to do so by legal obligation under common law or statute. Customer declarations are required by HMRC to be made for the use of marine diesel fuel when purchased and information collected in this way is held for inspection by them as required. Where holding & processing customer data is necessary for other legal requirements, the appropriate source for the obligation in question will be identified.
Data held for this purposes is processed under the lawful basis of Legal Obligation as set out in the General Data Protection Regulations.

4. Communication with Customers
Customer data (as described in section 2) will be held and processed in order to communicate with our customers or to provide information that we that we believe may be of interest or benefit to them. This may include relevant marine or other information, newsletters, promotions and special offers. Please note that such information or offers will directly come from and relate solely to Mylor Yacht Harbour and never from a third party. Where this data is processed for email distribution, customer’s email addresses may be uploaded to a bona fide third party email distribution service (currently Mail Chimp) and customer’s data is held and processed by them solely for email delivery purposes.

We may also contact customers from time to time to seek information and feedback relating to our performance in order to assist us in improving services.

Customer Data used for this purpose is processed under the lawful basis of Legitimate Interests as set out in the General Data Protection Regulations.

Whenever data is processed for Legitimate Interest purposes such as these, we believe that this is reasonable, proportionate, would not be wholly unexpected and would have a minimal privacy impact. However, we will always keep customer’s personal data rights in high regard, take account of these rights and offer an opt out at any time.

Data may also be passed to third parties in the event of a legal dispute or for debt recovery purposes where there is a legitimate business reason for us to do so.

CCTV images are taken of the site which may include images of customers, site users and car registration numbers. This data is held in the Legitimate Interests of site security and crime prevention but may be shared with our insurance company in support of a claim or under Legal Obligation with appropriate Law Enforcement Agencies.

5. Further Information

  • Someone who holds a berthing licence, service agreement, lease or is currently in receipt of services, &
  • Someone who we have done business with previously and we realistically expect to do business with them again in the future. This could be annually or longer in the case of visiting boats or services customers.
