The person who confirms the reservation and/or makes the advance payment (hereinafter referred to as the Charterer) enters into a contract with AC, thereby accepting the General Terms and Conditions, which are legally binding to both AC and the Charterer, and are the basis for resolving any dispute that may arise between the parties.

 

PRICES AND CONDITIONS OF PAYMENT

No reservation will be confirmed until a 50% advance payment of the total amount of Charter Fee has been received. The balance of the Charter Fee will be paid no less than 60 days prior to the start of the period of charter.

Only once all payment conditions have been executed will boarding and takeover of the vessel is permitted.

CHANGES TO OR CANCELLATION RESERVATION

If the Charterer wishes to make changes to the booking or cancel the reservation, AC must be notified immediately in writing via e-mail, fax, or post.

If the Charterer cancels the reservation in writing, AC reserves the right to apply the following cancellation charges:

- In the event of a cancellation made earlier than sixty (60) days prior to the start date of the charter period - 50% of the Charter Fee

- In the event of a cancellation made sixty (60) days or less prior to the start of the charter period - 100% of the Charter Fee

- In the event of a cancellation made after Check-in - 100% of the Charter Fee in addition to any other expenses AC may have incurred as a result

 

If the Charterer is able to find a replacement letting party for the same period of the charter and under the same terms and conditions, AC reserves the right to charge for any costs incurred by the change.

In the event that the Charterer has to cancel the reservation due to death in the family or serious illness, AC is not liable to return the paid amount, but will issue a credit note for the unused portion of the total charter fee to be used against any future charter with AC on a similar vessel for an alternative period.

Compensation or refunds will not be made where the Charterer is inconvenienced or has to pay due to situations such as war, riot, civil dispute, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, exceptional sanitary conditions, natural disaster, intervention of competent authorities, or other unforeseen circumstances that may amount to force majeure.

 

DELIVERY (CHECK-IN)

AC will deliver the vessel fully commissioned, clean and tidy, with all the gear and equipment in good working condition and a full tank of fuel.

During the takeover, the client has to make thorough inspection of the vessel. By signing the Check-list, Client confirms the existing state of the vessel and its equipment, including the underwater part of the vessel.

The Charterer will pay to AC a security deposit upon the date of check-in to cover any damage, loss of equipment, or liability not covered by the vessel's insurance.

The deposit is payable in cash, by credit card imprint or debit card.

The deposit will be refunded in full to the Charterer upon return of the vessel and once AC’s base staff have confirmed that the vessel has been returned on time and at the agreed place, the vessel is clean and in good condition with a full fuel tank, and upon signing of the Check-out list by the skipper containing the notification ensuring that no damages on the vessel or the pertaining equipment occurred during the Event, and no third party is claiming damage caused or arising from the usage of the vessel during the Event.

The Charterer will be liable for any loss or damage to the vessel or its equipment or gear caused by acts of brutal negligence and wilful damage by the Charterer or any member of the charter party. The Charterer will also be liable for any decrease in the vessel's value due to such damage.

If the Charterer does not accept the vessel at, or within 24 hours of the agreed time and place without prior notification, AC reserves the right to terminate the contract with no further claims against the company by the Charterer.

If for any reason AC is not able to deliver the vessel to the Charterer at the agreed time and place, an acceptable alternative of similar characteristics may be provided within the next 24 hours. If such delay exceeds 24 hours, the Charterer has the right to terminate the contract and all sums paid will be refunded. In the event the Charterer decides to accept an alternative vessel and the waiting time exceeds 24 hours, the Charterer has the right to request a refund equal to the number of days the check-in was delayed.

In these circumstances, AC will only be liable for the Charter Fee with no further claims against the company.

Upon check-in, the Charterer is obliged to inspect the vessel and upon acceptance certify that he has found the vessel and its equipment in acceptable condition and in every respect seaworthy. At that point the vessel will be deemed to be in good order and fully in compliance with its description (check-in list). The Charterer must submit any complaints regarding the state of the vessel or the equipment in writing before taking over the vessel.

AC will not accept liability for any claim arising from the hidden defects and deficiencies of vessel and equipment at the time of boarding and regular maintenance of the vessel that could not been foreseen or prevented by the AC, including all deficiencies and failures that may occur at the time of boarding.

The vessel will have, as part of the inventory, all necessary documents (permit, registration forms...), as well as charts, almanacs and cruising guides. The Charterer will take exceptionally good care of the aforementioned documents and return them to AC staff upon return of the Vessel. Any complaint regarding all necessary documentation the Charterer is obliged to submit in writing prior to take over of the vessel.

In respect of the contractual penalty the Charterer is obliged to pay the amount of 500,00 EUR if the Charterer loses or damages the documentation or any part of the documentation taken, and the cited amount would be calculated upon middle CNB exchange rate on the date of payment.

 

RETURN OF THE VESSEL (CHECK-OUT)

The Charterer will return the Vessel to the point of pick-up at the end of the agreed charter period, and no later than 09:00 am on the last day of the agreed charter period. The vessel will be returned as it was delivered; clean and in good condition, with a full fuel tank, and ready for service. The Charterer will take out his own waste and dispose of it in the marina and in the appropriate manner.

If the vessel is at any time out of commission during the period of charter and/or a delay in the return of the vessel is inevitable, the Charterer will inform the base manager and AC, requesting further instructions. All requests for further instructions must be recorded in the vessel's log. Adverse weather conditions cannot justify delays to the return of the vessel at the end of the charter period.

In the event the vessel is returned late, the Charterer agrees to pay a 10% charge of the total Charter Fee for every hour up to 12 hours of delay. In the event the delay is over 12 hours, the Charterer will pay the standard daily charter rate for every day thereof. The Charterer will pay for any losses or expenses incurred due to the delayed delivery of the vessel. Exceptions to this rule are possible only through explicit agreement between AC and the Charterer.

AC is entitled to charge all the costs arising from delay or relocation of the vessel primarily from the deposit. If the costs exceeding the amount of deposit the Charterer is obliged to pay the amount missing between the amount of security deposit paid and the amount of actual cost.

Upon return, an AC representative and the Charterer will jointly inspect the vessel and its equipment in order to verify that the condition of the vessel complies with the check-in list. If any deficiency occurs during the inspection, AC representative and the Caterer are obliged to ascertain liability for each deficiency.

The Charterer is obliged to notify the AC representative of any defects or damage. If the damage is beneath the waterline, or is assumed to be beneath the waterline of the vessel, it will be necessary to inspect the vessel in detail, either by the intervention of professional divers or using a vessel crane. The AC representative's decision is final and binding and the Charterer will be charged for associated costs.

The penalty fee for failing to report loss or damage to the vessel that may have occurred during the period of the charter or the loss or damage notorious to the Charterer or ought to be notorious to the Charterer is 500,00 EUR, and the Charterer will pay for all recovery costs.

INSURANCE

The vessel carries third party liability insurance. Protection and indemnity insurance for the vessel is provided in the amount of the vessel’s value as it is recorded in the insurance policy. The vessel's insurance covers damage above the amount of the security deposit or insurance policy excess (franchise); however, the Charterer remains fully liable for any loss or damage to the vessel caused by the Charterers, or the charter parties, own negligence or misuse.

AC shall have no liability for loss or damage to personal effects of the Charterer, or members of the charter party and crew, nor is AC responsible for any personal effects of third parties left on board the vessel, the company vehicle, or within AC offices. By confirming the reservation (deposit left) and accepting the terms and conditions, the Charterer agrees that AC shall have no liability for loss or damage to personal effects of the Charterer or third parties.

In the event of loss or damage, AC must be notified immediately. In the event of a more serious incident, or where more than one vessel is involved, the Charterer shall notify the competent Harbour Master's Office and acquire from them the necessary documents for the insurers.

Insurance policy covered damages not notified immediately to AC, competent government bodies including insurers, and for thereof damages the acquired documentation has not been submitted, thereof damages would not be acknowledged in accordance to the terms of insurance. For thereof damages there is sole liability on the side of Charterer in full amount of the cited damages.

In case of damage to the vessel covered by insurance policy, Charterer is obliged to cover all costs in accordance with the existing protection and indemnity insurance conditions only up to the amount of security deposit. The Charterer is liable for the costs of all damages to the vessels and/or equipment caused by Charterers or the charterer party’s negligence or misuse and/or loss of one or more parts of the equipment, in a full amount.

If the Charterer fails to inform AC, the relevant authorities, or insurers immediately of any loss or damage, or fails to acquire the necessary documentation, and the loss or damage is, in consequence, not accepted by the insurer, the Charterer will be liable for any costs incurred, even if the damage is covered by the vessel's insurance.

In the event of any damage to the vessel, the Charterer will be liable for the costs covered by the insurance to the extent of the security deposit. The Charterer will be liable for any loss or damage to the vessel or her equipment caused by the Charterer, or any other member of the charter parties, own negligence or act.

The Charterer will have to pay for any damage to the engines caused by lack of motor oil in the machinery, as this is not covered by insurance.

 

 

DAMAGE

The Charterer is liable for any loss or damage to the vessel that occurs during the charter period and that is not related to the vessel’s depreciation. Prior to initiating any repairs, or proceeding with any purchases, the Charterer will contact AC to obtain their approval for technically justified repairs and agree on the liability for the damage.

AC is liable for any loss or damage that occurs during the charter period and which is caused by reasonable wear and tear of the vessel and its equipment. The Charterer must obtain AC's approval prior to initiating any repairs in order to agree on the technical and financial aspect of the repairs. Once agreement has been reached, the Charterer will pay for the repairs on site, but keep the receipts in order to be refunded in full upon return to the base.

The Charterer will notify AC immediately of any loss or damage, regardless of the cause. The Charterer will comply with any instructions given to him by AC. If AC is not able to arrive and immediately eliminate the damages occurred, AC will personally or by instruct the Charterer to engage the third party, eliminate the damages occurred. Prior to the repair of the damage by the third party, AC must certify the manner of execution of the repair and the costs of repair. After the AC certificates the approval for the agreed cost and the manner of execution of the repair, Charterer is authorized to settle the cost of the repair on behalf of AC. Charterer is required to keep the invoice paid. If there has been any damage or failure due to age or deterioration of the vessel AC is required to refund the amount paid to the Charterer.

Any unauthorised repairs or changes to the gear and equipment will be charged to the Charterer’s final invoice.

 

PHOTOS

BY paying the advance payment the client and/or agent confirms that all the photos of the AC vessel and the persons who were on the vessels at the moment of making the photo are the ownership of the AC, and it may use them without limitations for promotional purposes. The client and/or agent is not entitled to any pecuniary and/or non-pecuniary compensation towards the AC based on copyright and/or other related rights.

 

COMPLAINTS

The Charterer has the right to lodge a complaint if he is not satisfied with the service AC is providing or believes the quality of service is not of the required standard. Compensation in proportion to the complaint may be approved if and only if the Charterer, upon return, makes a formal written complaint accompanied by all relevant documentation. The complaint must be issued in writing and lodged no later than upon return of the vessel with both the Charterer's and AC representative's signatures. Any complaints made later may affect the Charterer's rights under the Charter Contract. AC reserves the right not to take into consideration any complaints received after the aforementioned period, or if any relevant documentation is missing.

AC will answer the complaint in writing no later than 14 days following its receipt. AC reserves the right to postpone the resolution of the complaint a further 14 days with the aim of investigating the complaint and gathering all the necessary information from persons directly or indirectly involved in the case.

The highest possible compensation per complaint may equal the value of the disputed portion of the service, but may not include the already used portion of the period of charter, nor can it be equal to the full Charter Fee. The Charterer does not have the right to compensation for non-material damage.

 

DISPUTES

If the Charterer is not satisfied with the way AC tries to rectify the complaint and the parties cannot find a peaceful and satisfactory resolution, he is entitled to court proceeding. Any disputes not resolved peacefully will be lodged with the Court in Zadar and are subject to Croatian Law.

Any changes or amendments to the General Terms and Conditions must be issued in writing and agreed upon by both parties.
