 If the Charterer doesn't want to act as the skipper of the boat, before commencement of the charter term, the Charterer must notify the name of such skipper. This nominated skipper will be co-responsible towards the Owner.  All consequences emerging from allowing unauthorized persons to operate the boat are exclusively born by the Charterer.

 The Charterer hereby agrees to handle and treat the boat and its inventory and equipment with due care. The Charterer must check daily the water and oil level in the boat's engine. Damages caused by insufficient oil or water are not insured and the Charterer will be fully responsible for those. In case of major break-downs and/or damages and in case of accidents involving other seagoing boats, such cases must be reported to the authorized Port captain authority. In such cases a protocol must be drafted on the case (signed by both parties) for the insurance company. At the same time the Owner must be notified about such event. If the Charterer doesn't act in compliance with this duty and instruction, the Charterer will be charged for all damages.

13. Engine failure and severe damages

Should any damage be caused by the usual wear and tear of the materials during the Bayliner charter period, the Charterer has the right and obligation to arrange for the repair of such damages up to a total amount of 150,00 Euro, which cost will be reimbursed after the boat is returned to base. Should the damage be repaired by the Owner within 24 hours, the Charterer will have no right to demand any reimbursement.

 If the damage cannot be easily repaired on course and therefore an early return to the charter base is required, because such damage must be remedied before the start of the new charter period, the costs for lost days of charter will be refunded to the Charterer only if the damage in question was caused by the Owner. If such damage was not caused by the Owner, the Charterer is not entitled to any refund and will have to carry all additional costs relating to finding another suitable boat for the Charterer.

 In case of major and severe damages and engine failures, in case of loss of boat and/or damage and injury to persons, the Charterer must inform the Owner promptly and also obtain a protocol on the event issued by third parties (port captain, medical physician, appointed expert).

Damages that are not reported to the Owner and damages for which the Charterer is not able to produce an officially verified protocol will be considered as damages caused by Charterer and therefore the Charterer will be charged in full for such damages.

14. Disputes

In case of dispute that cannot be resolved in a friendly manner between the parties, the parties hereby agree upon the authorized court in Ljubljana.

Disclaimer

THE OWNER takes no liability for safety to persons or damage to equipment while operating the boat.
