there is no damage, resulting to the charter company, or less than asserted.
Furthermore, in case of miscarriage of a substituted charter, the charterer
is at liberty to substantiate to the charter company that it has saved
expenditures and has therefore at least a partial obligation of repayment.
Obligations of the charter company
1. The agreed yacht will be delivered to the charterer in a clean, sailable,
sea-worthy condition, and with full tanks.

made under this charter party. If the charter period is two or more weeks,
the minimum time before which the charterer can withdraw is increased

1. The charter company shall only be liable towards the charterer and
his crew for loss or damage arising from intent or gross negligence on
the part of the charter company, as well as for damages to life and health
or personal injuries, resulting from negligent breach of duty by the charter
company or from intentional or negligent breach of duty by a legal representative
or assistant of the charter company.
2. The charter company shall not be liable for loss or damage caused by
inaccuracies, amendments, mistakes and defects in the ancillary nautical
equipment provided, e.g. marine charts, handbooks, compass, radio direction
finding equipment etc.
3. Claims by the charterer due to the inability of the yacht for use resulting
from damage or total loss caused by the charterer or a third party during
the charter shall be excluded.
Agency’s liability
The agency is only liable as an intermediary for intentional or grossly
negligent dereliction of duty in the performance of its services as an
intermediary.
Charterer’s liability
1. The charterer shall indemnify the charter company against all civil
and criminal consequences of third party claims arising from actions and
failures to act on the part of the charterer including all legal costs
in the country of delivery and abroad. The charterer accepts the yacht
on his own responsibility.
2. If the charterer leaves the yacht at any place other than the agreed
location for any reason whatsoever, the charterer shall bear the costs
for the return of the yacht by water or by land. If the return of the
yacht extends beyond the time period of the charter, the yacht shall be
deemed to be returned by the client at the time of its arrival in the
agreed harbour.
3. Late return of the yacht and non-usability of the yacht caused by the
charterer shall be grounds for claims for compensation by the charter
company.
4. Attention is drawn to the fact that conclusion of hull insurance by
the charter company does not mean that the charterer is not liable for
loss or damage not covered by such insurance, or for loss or damage for
which the insurance expressly reserved the right of recourse to the charterer.
This applies particularly to damage caused by gross negligence, intent
or failure to observe the conditions of the charter party, and for any
consequential loss or damage.
5. The conditions of the insurance, which we will gladly provide on request,
are an integral part of this contract. The deductible excess for each
loss is to be borne by the charterer and may differ from the deposit paid.
The deposit will be repaid without delay on the return of the yacht and
equipment in good condition. Loss and damage will be off-set against the
deposit. Loss and damage not covered by the deposit or the insurance shall
be paid without delay by the charterer.
Conclusion of an extended “Skipper’s liability insurance”
(which covers crew’s liability amongst themselves and recovery of
losses to the chartered yacht in the event of substantiated gross negligence)
and a consequential loss insurance is strongly recommended. The charter
company and broker will be pleased to send all necessary documentation.
Miscellaneous/subsidiary agreements/ information / separability
clause
1. The charter period may only be extended with the agreement of the charter
company. If there should be obvious errors in the invoicing of the charter
price and the extras, the charter company and the charterer have the right

price list. This does not affect the legality of this contract.
2. All care is taken in the preparation of information, but information
is given without guarantee.
3. The invalidity of individual provisions shall not affect the validity
of the remaining provisions of the charter party. The parties agree to
replace invalid provisions by valid provisions most closely approaching
the invalid provisions.

be subject to the law applicable to the registered office of the agency;
the place of jurisdiction shall be the registered office of the broker.
