Document background
The Boat Purchase And Sale Agreement is a crucial legal document used in New Zealand for transactions involving marine vessels of all types. It is designed to comply with New Zealand maritime law, including the Maritime Transport Act 1994, Ship Registration Act 1992, and relevant consumer protection legislation. This agreement should be used whenever a boat or marine vessel is being sold, whether for commercial or recreational purposes. It includes comprehensive details about the vessel, purchase terms, warranties, and conditions of sale, while ensuring all necessary maritime authority requirements are met. The document is particularly important as it provides legal protection for both parties and creates a clear record of the transaction terms, including vessel condition, included equipment, and any specific warranties or conditions. It is commonly used by private sellers, commercial operators, brokers, and marine dealers throughout New Zealand.
