A list of vigilance points to be observed will be provided. The “explanation of this will be given during the handover of the Sailboat and just before the handing over of the keys. This must be signed to allow the handing over of the keys. The handing over of the keys can also only be done once the” inventory has been signed. The non-submission of the signed inventory to the lessor constitutes acceptance of the boat in working order and complete according to the “standard inventory signed by the lessor. When returning the Sailboat, if the” redelivery inventory is not carried out due to the lessee’s delay in redelivering the boat, or other incidents due to their fault, the lessor will carry out this inventory alone, which will be notified to the lessee.

Each day of delay entitles the lessor to compensation equivalent to double the daily price of a weekly rental, regardless of the cause of departure. The rental and late fees will only end with the return of the vessel under the conditions stipulated in the contract. Also at the lessee’s expense are any accommodation costs for the subsequent lessee, as well as the lessor’s costs for search, travel, telephone, etc. Furthermore, in case of force majeure preventing return on the agreed date, the lessee must contact the lessor and agree with them on the terms of return; bad weather cannot be invoked as a valid reason for delay, as the skipper must take precautions to prevent this eventuality.

The insurance covers all accidents that may occur to the Sailboat and accessories, excluding damage caused to passengers’ personal belongings and effects, and accidents occurring while a passenger was intoxicated or under the influence of drugs or narcotics.

The Lessor has the option to provide the Lessee with a unit of equivalent or larger size; the rental price will remain unchanged, only the deposit corresponding to the provided unit will be requested. If the Lessor cannot do so within 48 hours before the scheduled departure date, the sums paid will be refunded without the lessee being able to claim damages or interest.

9.2 Non-payment of the rental balance will result, 8 days after the sending of a formal notice by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, in the termination of the rental contract, at the Lessee’s fault. The Lessor will retain the deposit paid, without prejudice to any other damages.
9.3 When the Lessor is obliged to modify the terms of the rental contract before the departure date (excluding cases of force majeure), they will immediately inform the Lessee and bear all costs inherent to this change. In the event of a significant modification, causing organizational disruption for the Lessee (such as a change of departure date or departure port), the Lessee may cancel their order.
The Lessor will then be obliged to refund the sums paid to the Lessee. Any compensation that the Lessor may pay cannot, in any case, exceed the rental price.

Article 10: Force Majeure
The Lessor excludes all liability for non-performance of any of its obligations due to a case of force majeure within the meaning of the provisions of Article 1218 of the Civil Code, i.e., related to any event beyond the Lessor’s control, which could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time of concluding the cruise contract and whose effects cannot be avoided by appropriate measures.
Such events shall include, but are not limited to: acts, events, non-events, accidents, “Acts of God”… beyond the Lessor’s reasonable control, including riots, blockades, invasion, war, fire, explosion, sabotage, significant weather problems, pandemic, collision, grounding, governmental act or regulation (including advice from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the issuing country imposing a suspension of the destination), major technical breakdown, serious illnesses, or requiring a diversion during the period of use (international maritime regulations impose assistance and rescue at sea).
The Lessee undertakes to tolerate necessary rescue interventions and any delay or inconvenience that may result from “a case of force majeure. In the event of problems due to force majeure, the Lessor cannot be held responsible and will have no obligation to provide a replacement vessel or accommodation, reimbursement, repatriation, or compensation of any kind, particularly for the costs of returning from the disembarkation port to the Lessee’s home.
If, due to” a force majeure event, the rental contract cannot be executed on the scheduled dates, the rental contract will be automatically terminated, without compensation from either “party. The” deposit will then be refunded to the Lessee no later than 14 days after the termination of the rental contract.

Article 11: Personal Data
11.1 Information related to the Lessee’s order is subject to automated data processing. The purpose of this automated data processing is the management and monitoring of the Lessee’s orders, invoice tracking, customer relationship management, the “sending of” commercial information on rental and/or cruise proposals, and the management of customer reviews on the service.

The Lessee also has the right to lodge a complaint with the Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), particularly on its website www.cnil.fr.
Article 12 – Security Deposit
The security deposit is made exclusively by credit card. The lessee must ensure in advance the conditions and authorized credit with their banking institution to allow the deposit. American Express cards are not accepted. The deposit is paid by the lessee when taking possession of the boat. The purpose of the deposit is to guarantee damage to the rented property (and annexes) or partial loss of items, attributable to the lessee and not covered by insurance. The amount of the deposit does not constitute a limit of liability enforceable against the lessor, who always retains the right to seek compensation for damages suffered, without prejudice to the recourse of third parties, particularly the boat owner.
The deposit is returned within a maximum of one month after the return of the boat. In case of deterioration of the rented property or losses not covered by insurance and attributable to the lessee, where doubt remains, the return of the deposit may be deferred until the corresponding costs are settled by the lessee. The return of all or part of the deposit is made based on the contradictory findings. The lessor is obliged to refund a payment made in this regard subsequently by the insurance.
No rental can be effective without a security deposit made by credit card; no refund of the down payment can be requested in case of non-deposit of the security by credit card.
Subscribing to a deductible waiver contract does not exempt from the security deposit.
