Terms and Conditions PDF

Attention! These Terms and Conditions cannot be governed by the legal system of the Slovak Republic because they are always accompanied by a Charter Party, which is governed by the respective national legal system of a given Charter Operator. Our Terms and Conditions introduce the client to the Terms and Conditions of a given Charter Operator and are only applicable if they do not contradict the terms and conditions of the given charter operator. These terms and conditions of the charter operator always take precedence.

Contractual terms of the Charter Party (hereinafter referred to as “Terms and Conditions”)

1. Introductory provisions

1.1. These Terms and Conditions apply to all services and charters arranged by Bookingthesea.com.

1.2. These Terms and Conditions form an integral part of a Charter Party or other contract concluded between a hirer (Charterer) and a Charter Operator represented by Bookingthesea.com as an intermediary where the main subject matter of the contract is the provision of a charter for use by the Charterer (hereinafter referred to as “Charter Party”). A vessel means a marine yacht intended for seafaring.

2. CONTRACTUAL PARTIES OF THE CHARTER PARTY

2.1. The contractual parties of the Charter Party are:

  • a) the Charter Operator directly providing the charter, represented by Bookingthesea.com as their intermediary for this purpose (hereinafter referred to as “CHO”);
  • b) client, who can be a natural person or a legal entity (hereinafter referred to as “Charterer”).

2.2. The contractual relationship between the CHO and the Charterer in terms of the charter is governed by a written Charter Party or a confirmed reservation, terms and conditions of the CHO and these Terms and Conditions to the extent not governed by the terms and conditions of the CHO. For avoidance of doubt, it is stated that the terms and conditions of the CHO take precedence over these Terms and Conditions.

3. SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CHARTER PARTY

The subject matter of the Charter Party is a charter of CHO’s vessel by the Charterer, which is arranged by Bookingthesea.com. These Terms and Conditions further regulate the rights and responsibilities of the contractual parties of the Charter Party to the extent not governed by the terms and conditions of the CHO.

4. ESTABLISHMENT OF CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP

4.1. A contractual relationship between the Charterer and the CHO with the subject matter under Article 3 of these Terms and Conditions is established upon the conclusion of a Charter Party, i.e. at the moment of the confirmation of a Charterer's order (reservation) by the CHO or Bookingthesea.com or by signing a contract. After a contract is concluded at a distance based on receipt of the Charterer’s order, Bookingthesea.com shall send a confirmation of reservation or a written contract on behalf of Bookingthesea.com to the e-mail address of the Charterer. A written order via e-mail is also considered as a proper order placed by the Charterer. The content of the Charter Party is determined by the confirmation of the reservation or by a written Charter Party and the present Terms and Conditions.

4.2. The contractual relationship is established between the Charterer and the CHO. Bookingthesea.com as an intermediary of the CHO acts on behalf of the CHO and Bookingthesea.com and respects the rights and responsibilities of the CHO. The rights and responsibilities as a result of the Charter Party which are related to this charter are thus only established between the CHO and the Charterer.

4.3. By confirming the reservation of the charter and paying the corresponding instalment, the Charterer confirms that they have read and accepted the full Terms and Conditions.

4.4. Upon receiving the payment for the charter, the CHO undertakes to provide the charter service to the Charterer in the contractual extent and quality according to agreed specifications.

4.5. The Charterer is entitled to receive the ordered service after the reservation of the charter is confirmed; if the Charterer does not pay the full amount of the charter by a deadline agreed in the Charter Party, the CHO is entitled to withdraw from the contractual relationship without written notice.

5. PRICE AND PAYMENT CONDITIONS

5.1. The price for the charter includes a charter of a vessel and its equipment. All fuel, port fees, and other expenses related to the operation of the vessel (such as customs duties, transit log) and other optional services which can be ordered by the Charterer are paid by the Charterer.

5.2. The CHO is entitled to request a payment of the price for the charter before providing it, specifically by dates indicated in the Charter Party. Any payment according to the contractual terms of the Charter Party is deemed to be paid at the moment when the outstanding amount is credited to the account of Bookingthesea.com.

5.3. The CHO is entitled to request the payment of the 1st instalment amounting to 50% of the price for the charter, if not otherwise stated in the Charter Party, always in accordance with an instalment plan specified in the Charter Party. The Charterer does not have the right to split the payment in more instalments. This always has to be approved by an authorised representative of the CHO. If the Charterer is obliged to pay a mandatory surcharge to the price for the charter at the location of the charter, the amount shall be specified in the Charter Party under the section “Mandatory surcharge”. This surcharge is due before the start of the charter and can only be paid in local currency, in cash or by card.

  • i) the Charterer undertakes to take on board of the marine yacht only as many people as admissible for the yacht according to the Charter Party and only those who are included in the crewlist.
  • k) the Charterer also undertakes to use the vessel only for pleasure or sport within valid sailing and customs legislation, excluding any trade, commercial fishing, sublease, commercial transport of passengers or cargo, competitions, and similar activities. Any exceptions must be approved in advance and in the form of a written consent by the CHO. The vessel is intended for navigation in internal sea or in the open sea. Entering territorial waters of other countries than the country of departure is allowed only with written consent of the CHO. If this regulation is violated, the Charterer alone is accountable to marine and customs authorities, criminal and all other legal institutions, particularly in case of a seizure of the vessel, which is valid for all cases including unintentional fault. The Charterer is liable for all damage and costs caused by a violation of the aforementioned rules and regulations.
  • l) in case of an urgent need, if the situation requires it, the Charterer can be towed by other vessel(s) but must always ask for the consent of the CHO (except in case of life-threatening events).
  • m) if dangerous weather conditions are announced (in every port from the wind speed of 5 Bft), the Charterer must not leave a safe port, or must eventually find the nearest port or suitable anchorage. The Charterer is not authorised to anchor in the open sea, or it must be ensured that the vessel can be moved immediately in case of impending danger. The Charterer can call a representative of the CHO in the port of departure at any time or via a customer service number of Bookingthesea.com. Minor damages which do not prevent the vessel from further sailing must be reported to a base manager of the CHO by calling the telephone number specified within the check-in certificate.

The Charterer must report a break-in or theft of any piece of equipment to the police. If the Charterer does not fulfil these formalities prescribed by the insurance company, they may bear all the expenses caused by the accident or break-in under their own responsibility. The aforementioned is also valid in case of a seizure of vessel.

  • p) the Charterer shall send a completed crewlist and a copy of the captain's licence or other required document to the CHO or Bookingthesea.com via e-mail no later than 14 days before the beginning of the charter or immediately after a binding order confirmation, if the period between the signing of the Charter Party and the date of departure is shorter than 14 days. The CHO is not liable for the situation if these documents fail to arrive on time and the Charterer thus cannot set sail due to this missing information or must set sail with a delay. The CHO can charge a fee for missing crewlist and relevant captain’s licence.
  • q) all expenses and damages suffered by the Charterer due to a failure to fulfil the responsibilities stated in this Article shall be borne solely by the Charterer.

7.2. The CHO is not obliged to provide services beyond the previously contractually agreed, confirmed, and paid charter service.

7.3. During any ongoing communication between the Charterer and employees of the CHO or Bookingthesea.com, it is necessary that both parties respect the ethical code of conduct as well as relevant laws. Both parties must refrain from any behaviour incompatible with personality rights (namely, insults related to civil honour and human dignity, privacy, reputation etc. are inadmissible.) Moreover, any form of ridicule, slander, threat, personal injury, or other forms of indecent conduct contradicting the aforementioned legal regulations is completely forbidden. If such unwanted behaviour occurs, the CHO and the Charterer may terminate all mutual communication without further explanation. The aforementioned forms of conduct are considered to be a significant violation of the Charter Party.

8. CANCELLATION AND ARRANGEMENT OF SERVICES

8.1. The CHO is entitled to cancel the charter and withdraw from the Charter Party in the events specified within the terms and conditions of the CHO. If it is within the capacity of the CHO, the CHO shall in such case offer the Charterer a substitute charter which corresponds to the original charter as much as possible. If the Charterer agrees, the contractual parties shall enter into a new Charter Party with a substitute deliverable. If the substitute vessel is of lower quality (type, year of manufacture, number of cabins etc.) and the Charterer agrees with the substitution, the CHO shall pay the Charterer the difference in price, according to the amount specified by the CHO without undue delay.

8.2. If any external circumstances occur which prevent the CHO from providing the charter under specified and contractually agreed Terms and Conditions and if they are forced to modify charter conditions before the beginning of the charter, they are obliged to immediately inform the Charterer about such modifications and propose a modification of the Charter Party. If the proposed modification of the Charter Party consist of the modification of the subject matter of the charter when the vessel originally selected by the Charterer should be substituted for a vessel of lower quality (type, year of manufacture, number of cabins etc.), the Charterer has the right to decide whether they agree with the modification of the subject matter of the charter or withdraw from the Charter Party.

  • a) If within a period of 7 (seven) days from the receipt of the proposal for the modification of the Charter Party the Charterer does not withdraw from the Charter Party, it shall be presumed that they agree with its modification. At this moment, the modification of the Charter Party acquires legal effects. If the modification of the Charter Party also leads to an increase of the price for the charter, such difference in price shall be charged to the CHO. If the modification of the Charter Party leads to a decrease of the price for the charter the CHO is obliged to either decrease the balance due of the overall price for the charter, if it has not yet been paid by the Charterer or without undue delay reimburse the difference in the price for the charter in case the Charterer has already paid the total price for the charter.
  • b) If the Charterer does not agree with the modification of the Charter Party and within the period of 7 (seven) days from the receipt of the proposal for the modification of the Charter Party withdraws from the Charter Party by giving written notification to Bookingthesea.com, in such case the procedure from paragraph 8.1 is applied, if it is within the capacity of the CHO, the CHO shall offer the Charterer a substitute charter which corresponds to the original charter as much as possible. If the Charterer agrees, the contractual parties shall enter into a new Charter Party with a substitute deliverable. If in such case the subject matter of the substitute charter is a vessel of lower quality as well, the CHO shall pay the difference in the price to the Charterer without undue delay. If the Charterer does not choose any vessel as the subject matter of the substitute charter, they are entitled for a reimbursement of already paid amounts in the amount of the vessel’s charter. The Charterer, however, does not have the right to withdraw from the Charter Party in case of a modification in terms of the type and model of the vessel by the CHO, if any damages, malfunctions or other circumstances had occurred which lead to a necessary modification of the Charterer’s vessel and while at the same time at least the same year (year of manufacture), number of cabins and vessel type (e.g. sailing boat/catamaran/motor boat) which are specified within the Charter Party are preserved.

8.3 The Charterer is entitled to assign the Charter Party following a prior consent of the CHO to another person provided this person is capable of steering a vessel and owns the prescribed captain’s licences.

4. Modifications of agreed Terms and Conditions based on individual wishes of the Charterer

Modifications are performed by the CHO only if they are objectively possible and agreed upon. The performance of such modifications can be subject to a payment of fees such as:

  • a) Requirement of the Charterer for the modification of the Charter Party consisting of the modification of the date concerning the charter or extension of the charter’s period, alternatively modification of the vessel type and model or the location of departure applied no later than 45 days prior to the beginning of the charter is charged in the form of a fee of EUR 80 for each respective modification. If the requirement for the modification is applied by the Charterer within a period of less than 45 days prior to the beginning of the charter, such requirement is considered to be a new service contract and a withdrawal from the original Charter Party, only if the CHO assesses such requirement for the modification of the Charter Party as acceptable. The CHO assesses respective requirements for modifications individually while they are always entitled to charge fees for the modification of the Charter Party under this paragraph. Fees are always charged for each respective modification of the Charter Party.
  • b) The event of a charter period shortening by the Charterer as well as failure to use charter services based on a personal decision of the Charterer, the price for the unfulfilled or not at all used service is not reimbursed.

5. Modifications concerning embarkation, vessel check-in

If due to weather or climate conditions or as a result of extraordinary circumstances, the possibility to set sail with the vessel from the port/marina is prevented due to wind force, wave size etc., it does not give rise to the right to compensation or other redress.

9. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE CHARTER PARTY AND COMPENSATION (CANCELLATION FEES)

The number of days does not include the day of the beginning of the charter (embarkation).
  • b) If the Charterer under the Charter Party has paid only the 1st instalment, the CHO is entitled to a claim on the Charterer for the payment of the rest of the advance up to the amount of 50% of the price for the charter, if the termination of the Charter Party had occurred before the full payment of 100%.

  • c) If the CHO manages to fill the free vessel due to the termination of the Charter Party by the Charterer, they shall at their discretion reimburse the already paid amount for the charter to the Charterer after the deduction of all incurred costs of the CHO and potential discounts which were provided to the substitute Charterer. The decision is fully within the competence of the CHO and there is no legal entitlement linked to it.
