    SUBJECT TO WHICH ALL WORK IS UNDERTAKEN AND FACILITIES, GOODS AND SERVICES
    ARE PROVIDED

    1. DEFINITIONS
    (a) Owner means the customer described on the front of this Agreement;
    (b) Company means Arctic Shipyard Ltd whose name is printed on the front of this
    agreement;
    (c) Goods means all goods, parts or other things to be sold by the Company to the Owner

    (d) Work means any work to be done by the Company whether by way of repairs, servicing,
    fitting or otherwise.

    2. QUOTATIONS
    2.1 Subject to express agreement in writing to the contrary between the Company and the
    Owner, all quotations given by the Company are a considered approximation of the likely
    cost involved and are subject to the cost of labour and materials remaining at the same level
    as those prevailing at the time of the quotation. Such quotations are best estimates and are
    made honestly and in good faith based on the Company’s knowledge and experience. They
    are not guarantees and the Owner acknowledges that boat repair work cannot always be
    accurately estimated in advance; that once Work begins, unforeseen conditions or problems
    frequently arise; and that other factors can affect estimated and actual costs and
    completion dates. The Owner accepts these realities and agrees any estimates furnished are
    to be used as guidelines only and are not binding on the Company.
    2.2 All quotations are valid for 7 days from their dispatch by the Company to the Owner. The
    Company reserves the right to increase or decrease the quotation by the amount by which
    the actual cost of labour, materials and overheads has increased or decreased by reason of
    variation of the aforesaid levels since the date of the quotation. However, the quotation
    shall not be adjusted to meet increased costs which would not have occurred but for the
    Company’s failure to proceed with the Work with reasonable despatch.

    between the Company and the Owner as summarised and referred to above. All additions,

    charged to the Owner. If, in the course of executing any work, the Company find any defect
    in the vessel and/ or its gear that in the Company’s opinion should be rectified without
    delay, and before the Owner’s consent can be obtained, the Company reserve the right to
    carry out such necessary repair at its discretion and to charge same to the Owner. Notice of
    any such rectification will be forwarded to the Owner forthwith.
    2.4 Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Company and the Owner, if It appears
    during progress of any Work that the estimate will be exceeded by a significant amount the
    Company will not continue the Work without further express permission from the Owner.

    8. INVOICING AND PAYMENT TERMS

    8.1 The Owner agrees to pay the Company (without deduction or offset) for all labour and
    materials provided in connection with the ordered Work as follows. As noted above a
    deposit may be requested upon the signing of this Agreement. Thereafter, at the
    commencement of the Work, including when ordering materials, the Company will generally
    invoice progress payments at periodic intervals until the Work is completed. The amounts
    and frequency of progress payments will be agreed in writing between the Company and
    the Owner before commencement of the Work and will form part of this Agreement. The
    Company reserves the right to amend the amounts and frequency of progress payments to
    reflect changes in the costs necessarily for the Work, subject to discussion and agreement
    with the Owner.

    Interest at the rate of 8% per annum over National Westminster Bank plc base rate from

    due on receipt of the invoice by the Owner.

    the Company by the Owner in respect of berthing, storage, repairs, or any other services
    provided to the Vessel. The Company shall be entitled to retain possession of the Vessel
    until all outstanding fees and charges are paid in full. The Company will provide the Owner
    with 15 days’ written notice of its intention to exercise its lien and, if the debt remains
    unpaid, the Company may, after the expiry of the notice period, sell the Vessel in a
    commercially reasonable manner to recover the outstanding sums. The Company will
    provide the owner with a written valuation prior to sale. The Owner shall be liable for all
    costs associated with the lien, including storage, insurance, and sale expenses.
    8.9 Acceptance by the Company of goods (including vessels and/or their engines, gear and
    equipment) for repair or other treatment or for mooring or storage is subject to the
    provisions of the Torts (Interference with Good) Act 1977 (“the Act”), which confers on the

    Company is responsible. Subject to that exception, all vessels and gear are repaired, worked
    on, moved, stored or otherwise managed and kept at the sole risk of the Owner. The Owner
    should therefore ensure that their vessels and/or property are adequately insured against

    their crew whilst on or about the Company’s premises.

    other term, or any duty at common law, or under the express terms of this Agreement: for
    any indirect, special or consequential loss or damage (whether for loss of profit or
    otherwise), costs, expenses or other claims for compensation whatsoever which arise out of
    or in connection with the supply of the Goods or the provision of Works, or their use or re
    sale by the Owner.
    10.5 This clause applies only where the Company supply goods to a person who buys in the
    course of a business (“a business customer”). No article supplied by the Company to a
    business customer shalt carry any warranty or condition of sale, express or implied as to

    clear that he is relying on the Company’s skill and judgement.
    10.6 No proprietary article ordered from the Company by name, type and/or size by a
    business customer shall carry any such warranty or condition of sale, save so far as the
    Company can pass on a manufacturer’s warranty. In no event does the Company accept
    November 2025
    liability to a business customer for consequential damage beyond replacement of any faulty
    or unsuitable article supplied.
    10.7 In the interest of safety and expedience, the Company reserves the right to move any
    vessel and/or gear at its discretion.

    by, or resulted from, the Company’s negligence or deliberate act or that of those for whom
    the Company is responsible.
    10.9 (a) Subject to paragraph (b) of this Condition no work shall be done to the vessel whilst
    on the Company’s premises or moorings without the Company’s prior written consent other

    regular crew, or members of his family not causing any nuisance or annoyance to any other
    person residing in the vicinity. (b)Prior written consent for work to be carried out on the
    Company’s premises will not without good cause be withheld where:
    (i) the work to be carried out is work for which the Company, or the Company’s
    concessionaires or those who normally employ a specialist sub-contractor or
    (ii) the whole of the work is being carried out under warranty by the manufacturer and/or
    supplier of the vessel or any part of the Vessel’s equipment to which the warranty relates.
    10.10 In all cases where a contract of hire or licence to occupy any moorings, berth, storage,
    space, property or facilities may be lawfully terminated by notice, the same shall be deemed
    to be lawfully served if served personally or sent by registered post or recorded delivery
    service to the last known address in the UK of the Hirer or Licensee.

    afloat as near the end of the seasonal period as in the Company’s opinion tide, weather
    conditions and available facilities permit and in such sequence as to avoid moving other
    vessels for this purpose and also so as to make the most economical use of the facilities at
    the Company’s disposal. At the Owner’s request the Company will, if possible, launch the
    vessel at any suitable tide and weather conditions, but the cost of moving other vessels for
