Terms & Conditions
Effective Date: August 2003
1. Introduction
These Terms & Conditions govern your access to and use of the Omega Marine Depot website, together with all enquiries, quotations, purchases, services, and commercial transactions conducted with our company. By accessing our website, requesting information, placing an order, or engaging our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions.
Omega Marine Depot is an international supplier of marine engines, outboard motors, personal watercraft, propulsion systems, marine parts, accessories, and related marine equipment. These Terms & Conditions are intended to establish a transparent framework that defines the rights, responsibilities, and expectations of both our customers and our company throughout the purchasing process.
2. Website Use
The information published on this website is provided to assist customers in learning about our products, services, and business operations. While every effort is made to ensure that product descriptions, specifications, images, and technical information are accurate, website content is provided for general information and may be updated, corrected, or modified without prior notice as products evolve or manufacturer information changes.
Users agree to access and use this website responsibly and only for lawful purposes. Any activity that interferes with the operation, security, or integrity of the website, or that attempts to gain unauthorised access to systems or information, is strictly prohibited. Unauthorised reproduction, distribution, or commercial use of website content, images, trademarks, or other intellectual property without written permission is also prohibited.
3. Quotations, Orders & Acceptance
All quotations issued by Omega Marine Depot are prepared using the information available at the time of enquiry and are subject to product availability, supplier confirmation, and final order acceptance. A quotation does not constitute a binding agreement until the order has been formally accepted and payment has been received and verified in accordance with the agreed purchasing terms.
Customers are responsible for reviewing quotations, product specifications, quantities, pricing, shipping details, and billing information before confirming an order. Once an order has been accepted and processing has commenced, any requested amendments may be subject to product availability, supplier approval, and the current stage of order preparation. Our objective is to maintain accuracy throughout every transaction while ensuring customers receive the products requested in accordance with the agreed order details.
4. Product Information & Specifications
Omega Marine Depot strives to ensure that all product information published on this website, including descriptions, specifications, technical data, images, dimensions, model references, and performance information, is presented as accurately as possible. Product details are obtained from manufacturers, authorised distributors, and trusted industry sources; however, specifications may change without notice as manufacturers update or improve their products.
Customers are encouraged to confirm that the selected product is suitable for their intended application before completing a purchase. Where clarification is required, our sales and technical teams are available to assist with product information and compatibility guidance. While every reasonable effort is made to maintain accuracy, minor variations in product specifications, appearance, packaging, or documentation may occur and shall not be considered a defect or misrepresentation where the supplied product remains consistent with the manufacturer’s current production standards.
5. Pricing & Currency
All prices displayed or quoted by Omega Marine Depot are subject to confirmation at the time of enquiry and may change without prior notice due to manufacturer pricing updates, supplier adjustments, exchange rate fluctuations, freight costs, taxation, or other commercial factors beyond our control. A confirmed quotation remains valid only for the period stated within the quotation unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Unless specifically stated, quoted prices relate only to the products identified within the quotation and do not automatically include shipping, insurance, customs duties, import taxes, local handling charges, installation, commissioning, registration fees, or any other costs that may apply within the destination country. Customers are responsible for reviewing all pricing details before confirming an order and should contact our team if clarification is required regarding any aspect of the quotation.
6. Payment Terms
Payment for products supplied by Omega Marine Depot must be completed using the payment methods approved by our company before order processing begins, unless alternative commercial payment arrangements have been agreed in writing. Upon confirmation of product availability and acceptance of the quotation, a Pro Forma Invoice is issued containing the relevant payment instructions, banking information, and order details for customer review.
Orders enter procurement, inspection, preparation, and shipping only after payment has been received, verified, and matched to the corresponding order. Customers are responsible for ensuring that payment information is accurate and that any applicable banking fees or transfer charges are settled in accordance with the payment instructions provided. Where payment verification requires additional information, our team may request supporting documentation to protect both parties and maintain the security and integrity of every commercial transaction.
7. Order Processing
Following successful payment confirmation, every order progresses through a structured fulfilment process that may include procurement, supplier confirmation, product allocation, inspection, documentation, packaging, and shipment preparation. Processing times may vary depending on product availability, manufacturer lead times, order complexity, and destination requirements.
Customers will be kept informed of significant milestones throughout the order process, including payment confirmation, shipment preparation, dispatch, and tracking information where applicable. While every effort is made to process orders efficiently, certain circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including manufacturer production schedules, international logistics, customs procedures, or regulatory requirements, may influence processing or delivery timelines. Our commitment is to maintain clear communication and provide timely updates whenever such circumstances arise.
8. Shipping & Delivery
Omega Marine Depot coordinates domestic and international deliveries through established logistics providers, freight forwarders, and transportation partners experienced in handling marine equipment. Shipping arrangements are planned according to the nature of the products ordered, destination requirements, applicable export procedures, and the selected method of transportation. While we work diligently to facilitate timely deliveries, transit times remain estimates and may be influenced by factors beyond our reasonable control, including customs inspections, port operations, carrier schedules, weather conditions, or regulatory requirements.
Once an order has been dispatched, customers receive the relevant shipment information and, where applicable, tracking details to monitor the progress of their delivery. Responsibility for customs clearance, import duties, taxes, licensing requirements, and other destination-specific obligations remains with the customer unless otherwise agreed in writing. We remain available throughout the shipping process to provide reasonable assistance and communication until the shipment reaches its intended destination.
9. Inspection & Product Verification
Every product supplied by Omega Marine Depot undergoes an inspection and verification process before dispatch to confirm that it corresponds with the confirmed order specifications and is prepared for shipment. Depending on the product category, this process may include verification of model identification, visual condition, included accessories, documentation, packaging, and shipment readiness. These procedures form part of our operational standards and are intended to promote consistency and accuracy throughout order fulfilment.
Customers are encouraged to inspect all products promptly upon delivery. If any concern regarding the condition of a shipment or the accuracy of the supplied products is identified, notification should be provided as soon as reasonably possible together with any supporting information that may assist our review. Prompt communication allows us to investigate the matter efficiently and determine the appropriate course of action in accordance with our applicable policies.
10. Warranty
Brand-new products supplied by Omega Marine Depot are covered by the applicable manufacturer’s standard warranty, subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations established by the respective manufacturer. Certain products may also qualify for optional extended warranty programmes where these are offered by the manufacturer. Warranty coverage varies according to product type, manufacturer, and intended application, and customers are encouraged to review the applicable warranty documentation before installation or use.
Warranty obligations generally apply to manufacturing defects arising during normal operation when products have been installed, operated, serviced, and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s published guidelines. Warranty coverage does not extend to damage resulting from misuse, improper installation, unauthorised modifications, accidents, neglect, normal wear, or other circumstances excluded by the manufacturer’s warranty terms. Omega Marine Depot will provide reasonable assistance in facilitating warranty enquiries and directing customers through the appropriate warranty process where applicable.
