Similarly we shall not be under any duty to salvage or preserve your Vessel or other property from the consequences of an accident for which we are not responsible. However, the Trust 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 and in the interests of good estate management immediate action is considered necessary.

This restriction shall not apply to minor running repairs or minor maintenance of a routine nature by the Owner, his regular crew, or members of his family, provided always that any such minor running repairs or minor maintenance of a routine nature does not cause any nuisance or annoyance to any other users of the Marina or Premises or any person residing in the vicinity.

If the Agreement is terminated for any reason or expires while we are exercising this right of detention, the general lien will survive any such termination or expiry and we shall be entitled to charge you at the Trust’s daily rate for each day between termination or expiry of this Agreement and the actual date of payment or provision of security satisfactory to us by you and removal of the Vessel from the Marina and/or Premises. You may at any time at the Trust’s discretion be entitled to remove the Vessel or other property upon providing satisfactory 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 Trust’s prospective legal costs.

11.2 Where we accept a Vessel, gear, equipment or other goods for berthing, repair, refit, maintenance or storage we do so subject to the provisions of the Caernarfon Harbour Acts 1793 to 2012 the Harbours Docks and Piers Clauses Act 1847, and any other statute or regulation which confers on the Trust or harbour master a right to seize, arrest, distrain or sell the Vessel and/or any of its contents or other property (“the Acts”). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that any notice is served under the Acts, the general lien defined in clause 11.1 above shall remain in full force and effect until the debt with interest and, where the debt is contested, a reasonable provision for the Trust’s prospective legal costs has been received by the Trust.

12.4 In the event of termination under clause 12.3, the Trust shall refund the Owner the Fee relating to the unexpired portion of rental period. This will be calculated by dividing the total cost by 12 and calculating the remaining unexpired portion to whole calendar months.

13.5 The Trust will not agree to Termination of the Agreement if the circumstances for terminating the Agreement could be reasonably foreseen and that the circumstance for terminating the agreement was not beyond the control of the applicant.
