Indemnity and Insurance

1. All craft and equipment are stored, launched or moored at the owner’s risk and must be insured against third-party risks.  See section 4 below.
2. Derwent Water Marina will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by events or 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 or 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.
3. We shall not be under any duty to salvage or preserve a customer’s vessel or 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 other 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.
4. Customers may themselves be liable for any loss or damage caused by them, their crew or their vessels and while their vessels 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 cover for not less than £2,000,000.  Customers shall be obliged to produce evidence of such insurance within 7 days of a request to do so.
