Welcome to Lakeview Marine Policies

Lakeview Marine – Water Test Policy

Lakeview Marine takes every reasonable precaution and applies professional care when handling, servicing, and operating all boats and personal watercraft entrusted to us.

As part of certain service procedures, a water test may be required to verify performance and ensure the proper completion of repairs.

By authorizing Lakeview Marine to conduct a water test, the owner acknowledges and accepts the following:

1. Reasonable Care Standard – Our staff will exercise care and diligence during the handling, launching, operation, and retrieval of the vessel, consistent with industry standards.
2. Assumption of Risk – Despite our best efforts, water testing involves inherent risks, including but not limited to: mechanical failure, environmental hazards, weather conditions, and unforeseen complications. By consenting to water testing, the owner accepts these risks.
3. No Liability for Unforeseen Incidents – Lakeview Marine is not responsible for damages, losses, or failures occurring during or after a water test, except in cases of gross negligence.
4. Owner Responsibility – Any pre-existing issues, hidden defects, or owner-declined repairs that contribute to damage or failure during a water test remain the sole responsibility of the vessel owner.
5. Acknowledgment of Consent – By signing a service agreement or releasing the vessel for testing, the owner acknowledges full understanding of this policy and agrees to hold Lakeview Marine harmless from claims arising from water test activities.

The Customer understands, and acknowledges that if the boat/engine was manufactured before 2001, which is Lakeview Marine’s service cutoff year.

1. No LVM Service Warranty Coverage – Any repairs or services performed on this unit are not covered under Lakeview Marine’s service warranty, regardless of outcome.

2. Risk of Additional Failures – Due to the age of this equipment, unforeseen issues may arise during or after service. Lakeview Marine will not be held responsible for any additional failures, damages, or complications beyond the scope of the specific repair requested.

3. Parts Availability – Replacement parts for older units may be discontinued or unavailable. If parts cannot be sourced, Lakeview Marine reserves the right to decline or suspend repairs.

4. Limited Liability – Lakeview Marine is not liable for any incidental or consequential damages that may occur as a result of servicing an older unit, including but not limited to mechanical failure, cosmetic damage, or performance issues.

5. Owner Responsibility  By authorizing service, I accept full responsibility for all risks associated with attempting to repair equipment manufactured before 2001 and agree to pay the billable labour hours and parts incurred.

Once a boat or personal watercraft has been serviced and released from Lakeview Marine’s premises, the following terms apply:

1. Transfer of Responsibility
   Upon pickup, full responsibility for the care, transport, storage, and operation of the vessel transfers to the owner. Lakeview Marine is not liable for any damages, failures, or incidents that occur once the vessel leaves our property.
   
   
2. Inspection Prior to Release
   Customers are provided the opportunity to inspect their boat and review the completed service before leaving the premises. Acceptance of the vessel confirms satisfaction with the requested work performed.
   
   
3. No Warranty on Unrelated Failures
   Mechanical equipment is subject to age, wear, and unforeseen issues. Lakeview Marine’s warranty applies only to the specific service performed. Any subsequent or unrelated failures after release are the sole responsibility of the owner.
   
   
4. Transport & Launch Liability
   Lakeview Marine assumes no responsibility for accidents, damage, or operational issues that occur during trailering, launching, or handling of the boat after it has left our property.
   
   
5. Declined Repairs & Recommendations
   If Lakeview Marine has advised of additional repairs, safety concerns, or risks which the owner declines, any resulting issues remain the sole responsibility of the owner.
