relating to the safety of the vessel or any property or other

The
Charterer, whether an individual or booking the whole vessel, is
responsible for the whole of the fee he/she has undertaken to pay
and must pay the balance at least 28 days before the start of the
charter period. If for any reason, the Charterer cancels the
booking, he/she remains responsible for the whole of the fee. It
may be possible for you to transfer your booking to another individual
with our prior agreement. Otherwise we will make every effort to
resell the accommodation and if able to do so will refund the
deposit and any other money paid minus any administration cost and
any other expenses incurred. Holiday cancellation insurance is
available from several companies, and in view of the above, we
strongly recommend you consider this. |
