By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
These Terms include a mandatory Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver (see Section 17). If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

2.1 Marketplace & Advertising Platform. 1000Yachts is a technology platform that provides listing, search, and advertising tools for boats and related services. We are not a party to any transaction between buyers and sellers and do not broker, sell, purchase, finance, insure, survey, repair, transport, or guarantee vessels.
2.2 No Fiduciary Duties. We do not act as your broker, agent, or fiduciary. Any negotiations, contracts, payments, inspections, surveys, sea trials, title transfer, taxes, registrations, and compliance obligations are solely between the buyer and the seller (and their respective professional advisors).
