Terms of Service

Draft — not yet reviewed. Written to match how the platform actually works, but not checked by anyone qualified, and a contact email is not yet set up. Must not be relied on until that's done.

These terms govern your use of Boatbase, operated by BREEZEAL PTY LTD (ABN 39 675 617 302). By using the site you agree to them.

What Boatbase is

A classified advertising platform. We publish listings; we do not buy, sell, own, inspect, store, transport or broker any boat. Every transaction is directly between a buyer and a seller, and we are not a party to it.

We are not a licensed motor or marine dealer, not a credit provider, and not an escrow or payment service. No money passes through the platform.

Listing a boat

You may list a boat only if you own it or are authorised to sell it.

Everything in your listing must be accurate — including year, engine hours, trailer weights and whether a trailer is included. Photos must be of the actual boat you are selling.

Every listing is reviewed before it goes live. We may reject, edit or remove any listing, at any time, without being obliged to explain why — though we will usually tell you. Editing a live listing returns it to the review queue.

Listing is currently free and we take no commission on sale. If paid options are introduced, they will not apply retrospectively to listings posted before then.

What you must not do

  • List a boat you do not have the right to sell
  • Misrepresent a boat's condition, history or specifications
  • Use photos that are not of the boat being sold
  • Ask buyers to pay deposits before inspection, or to transact through shipping agents, escrow services, gift cards or cryptocurrency
  • Use the platform to harass, spam or defraud anyone
  • Scrape, copy or republish listings or platform data

We may suspend or remove an account for any of the above, without notice where the conduct is serious.

Buying a boat

Reviewing listings is not verification. We check for plausibility and scam signals — we do not inspect boats, verify ownership, confirm engine hours, or check whether money is owed on a vessel.

Before you pay for anything, run your own PPSR search and consider a marine surveyor. Those are the checks that protect you. The platform does not perform them and does not claim to.

Tow compatibility and repayment figures

The tow compatibility indicator compares numbers you entered against numbers a seller entered. It is a convenience, not legal advice or an engineering assessment, and it cannot know how a boat will be loaded. Check the compliance plates on your vehicle and the trailer before towing.

Weekly repayment figures shown on listings are arithmetic illustrations at stated assumptions. They are not quotes, not offers of credit, and no lender stands behind them. See finance.

Your content

You keep ownership of the text and photos you upload. You grant us a licence to display, reproduce and adapt them for the purpose of operating and promoting the platform. You confirm you have the right to grant that.

Liability

The platform is provided as-is. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from a transaction between users, from inaccurate listing information, from reliance on the tow indicator or repayment figures, or from the platform being unavailable.

Nothing in these terms excludes rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms. Questions: [support email — not yet set up].

These terms are governed by the laws of Australia.
