Cancellation & Refunds Policy

 

From the date that the IRC Certificate is issued and for the remainder of the calendar year, there will be no cancellation other than following a review of a boat’s rating in accordance with the IRC Class Rules.  If that situation arises any refund will be at the sole discretion of Seahorse Rating Limited.

 

When an application and payment has been lodged and the IRC Certificate has not been processed, a refund less an administration charge of £5.00 may apply.  The owner must contact Seahorse Rating Limited by telephone (01590 677030) or e-mail: info@rorcrating.com   as soon as possible to cancel the process.

 

Certificates will normally be valid upon payment of the appropriate fee from the date of issue and for the remainder of the current calendar year, however:

 

- If incorrect information has been provided to Seahorse Rating Limited and the IRC Certificate has been processed, there will be an Amendment Fee applied to correct the rated data.

 

- In circumstances where Seahorse Rating Limited has issued an IRC Certificate with erroneous information of its own making, a corrected IRC Certificate will be issued at no further cost to the owner.

 

Goods and Services

 

A full list of services can be found in the IRC Yearbook available in hardcopy or electronically on the website.  

 

Delivery Policy

 

Delivery will normally be from five to 20 working days unless Seahorse Rating Limited cannot complete the IRC certificate for any reason.  Owners will be notified if further boat data is required.

 

If the Expedited Fee has been paid (2 x Fee) the certificate will normally be issued in five working days. 

 

Certificates are sent by first class Royal Mail. We cannot guarantee postal delivery.  An e-mail or fax service is available upon request.
