INSTRUCTIONS AND TERMS FOR ACCOMMODATION ON THE VESSEL
These Instructions and terms for accommodation on the Vessel, together with Booking Contract (if applicable), Invoice and Boarding Pass will be referred to as Contract, Charter Company will be known as CC, the chartering party will be known as Charterer and the yacht as the Vessel. This Contract is valid under the following conditions:
1) The Charterer will hire a Vessel equipped in accordance to the laws and rules of berth location of the vessel and CC yacht charter standards. If applicable in specific destination, the equipment list is an integral part of this Contract and it will be signed by the involved parties on the occasion of taking over and returning of the yacht (check list).
2) The Charterer will pay the agreed charter price and extras.
3) The Vessel can be exclusively used for personal purposes, such as cruising and similar and therefore must not be used for CC other commercial or similar purposes.
4) FULL COVER INSURANCE / SECURITY DEPOSIT / INSURANCE
If applicable in country of Vessel’s berth location, full cover insurance may be applied. In order to make check-in/out faster and to avoid security deposits the Vessel is fully insured against third party damage, loss or damage of inventory and equipment, loss or damage caused by maritime accidents, natural disasters, lightning strike, foundering, capsizing, grounding, fire, explosion, burglary, theft, collision with CC solid or floating object, malicious act of third party and earthquakes. Full insurance does not cover willful misuse, gross negligence, cost of repair of clogged toilette or refueling the tank.
Unless Full cover insurance is applied, the Charterer lays under commitment to provide a security deposit at the time of embarkation on the Vessel by pre-authorization of credit card (or in cash, if applicable for specific destination). The deposit shall be terminated in its entirety upon the return of the vessel, unless an existence of a damage or a defect on the vessel or the equipment is found during the handover of the vessel, and unless there are no claims by CC, filed or announced claims by the third persons, that are connected to the usage of the vessel. In case of loss of or damage on the equipment, particular parts of the vessel or the vessel itself, or existence of other reasons as stated in this Contract, CC shall retain/charge the amount (a part or the whole deposit), which corresponds to the indemnification or value of repair, acquisition and/or purchasing the equipment or particular part of the vessel. In case the caused damage has the consequence that the vessel cannot be furtherly chartered, CC has the right to retain the amount corresponding to the loss of profit. Security deposit can be made solely by pre-authorization of credit card or in cash. The actual amount of security deposit for the type of vessel chartered is stated in the Price List.
The Vessel is insured against third party damage, fire, lightning, explosion, theft or robbery or damage caused by natural disasters, marine and collision risks, and against CC loss or damage except equipment expressed in this Contract. Unless the damage was caused wittingly (willful misuse) or with gross negligence, the financial liability of the Charterer for loss or damage caused by him or a crewmember is limited with the security deposit. The Vessel is insured with the minimal deductible that should correspond to the security deposit amount. Regardless of insurance, the Charterer is also obliged to pay indemnity for all caused damages up to the height of the security deposit. Damages covered by insurance which are not immediately reported to CC and/or insurance company, will not be acknowledged as per the insurance policy. In this case the Charterer is personally responsible for total damages as a result of not reporting or late reporting of damages. Damage to the underwater part of the Vessel must be followed by Vessel inspection executed out of the water, at the expense of the Charterer, if he is to be held responsible for this damage.
5) CANCELLATION
If the Charterer who has made a reservation, makes a cancellation more than 120 days prior to embarkation – cancellation fee of 500 EUR applies. If cancellation occurs 119 to 60 days before embarkation, NY has the right for the retention of 50% of the charter fee. If cancellation occurs 59 days or less before embarkation, CC has the right for the retention of 100% of the charter fee. If the cancellation is due to objective reasons (death in family, heavy injury etc.), paid price will not be paid back but CC will give the Vessel at the Charterer's disposal in another free period of time or within the next sailing season, but in this case CC has the right to charge Charterer with administration and other objective costs. In any other case, CC is not obliged to return the Charterer amount paid in accordance to this Contract.
6) FAILURE TO DELIVER
CC is obliged to make available the contracted, similar or better Vessel, at agreed time and place, and to deliver it to the Charterer. If CC is late in performing this obligation, CC will lay under commitment to pay back an appropriate proportional amount of the charter price for every 24 hours being overdue, and additionally, if reason for CC being overdue can be imputed to CC responsibility, CC should also pay 5% indemnity of weekly charter price for every day being overdue, but not more than 15% of the total charter price. By delivering the Vessel within 4 hours of overdue, CC is not considered to be overdue.
If CC cannot supply the Vessel or an appropriate replacement (meaning a type similar in dimensions, gear and equipment) and the delay exceeds ¼ of the total charter time or a maximum of three (3) days, the Charterer has the right to withdraw from the Contract. In this case payments already made will be refunded to him. No further claims may be raised.
If it is an established fact before the start of the charter that neither Vessel nor replacement will be available on the agreed date, CC shall be obliged to inform the Charterer as soon as the former knows the facts. In this case both parties may withdraw from the Contract before the assumed start of the charter. Payments made by the Charterer will be refunded as above. No further claims may be raised.
If check-in time is delayed by CC for reasons he is responsible for, the Charterer will get a pro rata refund from CC,
- provided either the check-in procedure had originally been agreed to take place in the second part of the day including an overnight stay on the Vessel
- or if a replacement and/or actual check-in has not occurred until noon the next day the latest
- or if the check-in of the Vessel had originally been agreed to take place during the first part of the day but in reality was delayed for more than 12 hours
In case of cancellation of this Contract by CC, he will be due to pay back the total amount paid by the Charterer, and if the Contract has been cancelled three or less days before taking over the Vessel, CC will lay under commitment to pay the Charterer the fine in the amount of 10% of the one week charter price.
However, regardless of possible reasons and height of possible damage, the responsibility of CC towards the Charterer is limited to the amount of the paid charter price.
If, because of some reasons that may be considered as the responsibility of CC, it comes to a breakdown or an engine trouble on the Vessel that would detain or considerably hinder the Vessel’s use, the Charterer may cancel this Contract. In that case, CC is obliged to take over the Vessel in the nearest safe port, reimburse the Charterer an appropriate part of the charter price enlarged by 10%, and bear the transportation expenses of the Charterer and his crew to the port of planned disembarkation.
In case that there is a technical issue during the charter period that detains the Charterer in using the Vessel, CC will solve it within 24 hours from the moment when the complaint was made. Solving the complaint within this period releases CC from CC and all claims arising from the fact that the technical issue happened (i.e. the Charterer is entitled to have a refund of an appropriate proportional amount of the charter price only for the time exceeding 24 hour period from the moment of complaint).

The Charterer undertakes to be in possession of valid navigation licenses (and, if applicable in the country of berth location of the Vessel, a VHF certificate) or he is obliged to leave the navigation of the Vessel to a crewmember that has the relevant permit or license. The Charterer guarantees CC his own nautical knowledge and competence in that area, both his own and the qualification of his crew, as well as his ability to operate the Vessel safely without regard of weather conditions or any other circumstances, taking over full responsibility for rational exploitation of the Vessel and her equipment.
If CC comes to conclusion that the skipper or at least one member of his crew do not possess appropriate and necessary knowledge and nautical competence, CC may make a breach of this Contract any time without being obliged to reimburse any paid amount or, in accordance with the established competence, he may determine the limits of sailing for the duration of this Contract. CC has been authorized for making such limitations if weather conditions or some other serious reasons should force CC to do so. For the reason of establishing the nautical competence of the Charterer and his crew, CC may organize a shorter common navigation with the Charterer. If required by the safety reasons, CC is allowed to require the Charterer and the crew to return the Vessel to the base or instruct them to moor on a specific location.
If the skipper or at least one member of his crew do not possess appropriate and necessary knowledge and nautical competence, the Charterer may use the Vessel as an "apartment accommodation".

In case of any other unexpected incident, some greater damage or failure, navigational offence or accident the Charterer is obliged to report it, both to authorized government bodies and the CC, in the quickest and the most appropriate way and to follow their instructions which are in accordance with operations of a good navigator.

The Charterer is obliged to observe all navigation rules and orders made by authorized government bodies, pay attention to the Vessel’s, crew’s, passengers’ safety and maintain the Vessel and her equipment, report CC on approximate navigation direction (itinerary) and on possible changes referred to the sailing direction and to return the Vessel to CC in the same condition in which the Charterer had received her (Vessel has to be properly clean, the equipment has to be arranged, the fuel tank has to be full etc.).

If the Charterer will not return the Vessel in agreed time and to agreed place, he will lay under commitment to pay indemnity for every started day of being overdue in a double amount of the daily charter fee. If he does not report CC about expectations of becoming overdue prior to end of agreed time of Vessel return, indemnity will be enlarged by further 30%.
CC is also not responsible for postponements or changes of Charterer’s plans caused by bad weather conditions or some other similar reasons. In case that extremely bad weather conditions will hinder the return of the Vessel in a foreseen term, CC agrees that instead of the indemnity foreseen, Charterer should pay regular charter price enlarged by 50% amount of the daily charter fee, for every started day of being due with return of the Vessel.
Clogged toilet at the Vessel handover will be charged according to Operator’s price list. Fueling the Vessel’s fuel tank to the maximum will be charged with the price of missing fuel enlarged by 100 EUR of penalty.
