We are not:

Final decisions regarding registration approval remain solely with the relevant maritime authority.

When placing an order (“Purchase”), you may be required to provide payment details and identification information.

You represent and warrant that:

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order if incorrect, incomplete or misleading information is provided.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment must be completed before submission to the relevant authority.

  • Providing complete and accurate information;
  • Supplying valid and authentic documentation;
  • Responding timely to requests for additional information;
  • Complying with applicable maritime and regulatory requirements.

BlueWater Registration Services BV is not responsible for delays or rejections resulting from inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information provided by the client.

4. No Guarantee of Timeline or Outcome

While we perform our services professionally and diligently, we do not guarantee:

  • Processing timelines set by maritime authorities;
  • Future regulatory stability;
  • Acceptance by banks, insurers or third parties.

All registration decisions remain at the discretion of the relevant authority.

5. Money Back Guarantee

BlueWater Registration Services BV offers a full refund guarantee in the event that the relevant maritime authority formally confirms that a properly submitted yacht registration application cannot be approved.

In such case, the client is entitled to a refund of the full amount paid for the specific order.

This guarantee applies only where:

  • The application has been properly submitted to the relevant authority;
  • The rejection is formally issued by that authority;
  • The rejection is not caused by incorrect, incomplete or misleading information provided by the client.

This guarantee does not apply if:

  • The client voluntarily cancels the order after payment;
  • The client fails to provide required documentation;
  • The client provides inaccurate or misleading information;
  • The client chooses not to comply with additional lawful requirements imposed by the authority.

The refund under this clause is strictly limited to the total amount paid for the specific order. No additional compensation, damages or financial liability shall arise beyond the refund of the paid amount.

6. Limitation of Liability

6.1 Maximum Liability

By accepting these Terms, the client explicitly agrees that BlueWater Registration Services BV shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, never be financially liable for any amount exceeding the total invoiced amount paid by the client for the specific order to which the claim relates.

This limitation of liability forms an essential part of the agreement between the parties. Without this limitation, BlueWater Registration Services BV would not enter into the agreement.

6.2 Scope of Application

This limitation applies to all forms of liability, including but not limited to:
