Safe sailing: Buying a boat legally
- The offer to purchase, often referred to as a promise to purchase, is essential in the process of buying a boat. Our personalized document formalizes the agreement between the buyer, who undertakes to buy, and the seller, who undertakes to sell the boat under predefined conditions.
- Legal commitment:
- Creates a contractual obligation between the parties.
- Ensures compliance with agreed terms, providing greater legal certainty.
- Consequences of non-compliance:
- For the seller: If the seller refuses to respect the offer to purchase, the buyer can ask a court to force the sale in accordance with the original conditions.
- For the buyer : If the buyer abandons his commitment, the seller can claim damages to compensate for any loss or inconvenience caused.
