4. Takeover of yacht

The Charter can reimburse only the accepted amount of the charter fee, and any other compensation possibility is excluded.
When taking over the yacht, the Charterer is obliged to check and carefully examine the condition of the yacht and equipment according to the inventory list. The possible covered defects on the yacht or its equipment, which couldn't be known to the Charter at the moment of takeover as well as defects which could arise after the takeover, do not give right to the Charterer to reduce the charter price.
If the further cruise is for any reason not possible or the overdue of the disembarkation is unavoidable, the charter base manager must be informed in order to give further instructions. The Charterer bears all the charges that result from the overdue of the charter period caused by bad weather. Therefore, the careful planning of a route is recommended.
Return of the yacht in the evening hours of a day before check out is obliged. Any exception is possible only if previously agreed with the charter/base manager. The Charter reserves the right not to hand over the yacht if in the judgment of their representatives the Charterer is not competent for any reason to operate the yacht. In this case, the Charter will not reimburse the charter money.
5. Caution money
When taking over the yacht, a caution money is to be deposited according to a valid price list. If the Charterer returns the yacht in good condition and in the agreed time, the caution money will be returned with no deductions. The caution money is to be deposited also in case when the Charterer charters the yacht together with a skipper. In case of personal negligence and/or loss of one or more equipment items, the Charterer bears all the costs.
6. Insurance and damage

If the Charterer does not fulfill his obligations, he can be charged for the costs of damage in full.
