Membership

NABO is formed to provide effective representation for owners of vessels on Britain’s inland waterways on any subject or matter which is relevant to the owners of such vessels. This is undertaken by the sharing of common general knowledge and opinion of Members.

Advice

NABO does not provide formal or legal advice. Information is provided for general consideration only, and does not in any way constitute legal or professional advice. NABO and NABO officers do not accept liability for any direct or consequential loss arising from any action or inaction taken by anyone as a result of reading anything contained in NABO publications or statements made by NABO officers. Members in dispute with navigation authorities, mooring operators and the like are advised to seek legal or professional advice specific to their needs.

Meetings

NABO officers will attend (or arrange for members to attend) and report on consultation meetings of the CRT, EA and other navigation authorities, to the extent that volunteer resources are available. The principal method of communication of the Association is via its magazine NABO News and other electronic means. NABO will send these communications to the contact details (address and or email addresses) provided by members, or publish them on websites. It is members’ responsibility to tell NABO of any changes to their contact details, and NABO will accept no responsibility for, and will take no action to search for, members who do not inform the Association of any changes.

NABO News

Members may receive NABO News currently six times annually. This is normally by post, but members may elect to download in electronic format file from the website. It will be deemed to have been delivered if displayed on the web site, or if requested, posted to the last known address provided by the member.

Membership Renewal

NABO will send a renewal notice of annual membership subscription before the due date to the last known email address provided by the member. If the member does not respond within 3 months, the membership will be suspended. Exceptionally, for legacy members only, postal mail will be used.

Subscription Payments

Subscriptions are for a calendar year from the application or renewal date. NABO’s preferred payment methods are direct bank transfer or bank standing order. Members are responsible for ensuring that the correct payment is made to the NABO account quoting the relevant membership number.

If a member choses to resign within a year, there will be no refund of any part of the subscription.

If a member pays the wrong amount for membership, NABO will promptly write, email or phone the member to attempt to correct the situation. If the member fails to respond and/or the contact details are incorrect, NABO may at its sole discretion:

Suspend membership and stop delivery of NABO News.

Accept all and any recurring payments as donations to the Association.

Deduct direct costs before making refunds.

Donations

Donations are an important part of our income are always welcome.

Payments received that are unidentified will be considered as donations.

Payments from Members or ex Members for whom NABO has no valid contact details will be considered as donations. NABO bankers are unable to trace the payments back to the source account to enable NABO to contact the person.

If overpayments or automated payments occur, the liability for NABO to refund will be limited to the value for the last single payment made less any charges incurred by NABO. No refund will be made for lack of past service including enjoyment of the Association or supply of NABO News.
