1. Introduction
Welcome to Marefun.com, a distinguished yacht charter service operated by Marefun Srl, located in Sardinia, Italy. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Marefun.com website (the "Website") and the charter services provided by Marefun (the "Services"). By accessing and using this Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use this Website.
2. Acceptance of Terms
Your access to and use of the Website and Services is conditional upon your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Website or Services.
3. Our Charter Services
Marefun.com offers premier yacht chartering services exclusively with a professional skipper and crew. Our services include tailored yacht experiences to meet your specific preferences and needs. Detailed descriptions of each service, available yachts, specifications, pricing, and additional amenities are provided on our Website or are available upon request.
4. Booking and Payment
4.1 Reservation Process
All bookings are subject to the availability of the selected yacht and confirmation of your payment. To initiate a booking, you must complete the booking request form on our Website or contact us directly. A preliminary confirmation of availability does not guarantee the booking until a charter agreement is finalized and the deposit is paid.
4.2 Charter Agreement
Upon confirmation of availability, you will receive a detailed charter agreement outlining the specific terms of your charter, including the yacht, dates, itinerary (if applicable), total charter fee, payment schedule, cancellation policy, and other relevant details. The booking is secured only upon your signature and return of the charter agreement and receipt of the initial deposit.
4.3 Deposit
A non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total charter fee is required upon booking to secure your reservation.
4.4 Final Payment
The remaining balance of 50% of the charter fee must be paid no later than 15 days before the start date of the charter. Failure to pay by this deadline entitles Marefun to cancel the booking and retain the deposit paid, without any obligation to refund.
4.5 Payment Methods
We accept various payment methods as specified on our Website or as communicated by our team. All payments must be made in EUR (€).
5. Cancellation and Refund Policy
5.1 Cancellation by the Client
If you wish to cancel your booking, you must notify us in writing as soon as possible. Cancellation fees will apply as follows: if the booking is cancelled more than 15 days before the charter date, the 50% deposit is forfeited and any remaining balance paid will be refunded. If cancelled 15 days or fewer before the charter date, 100% of the charter fee is non-refundable. For bookings cancelled on the day of the charter, the full payment is 100% non-refundable.
5.2 Cancellation by Marefun
In the unlikely event that Marefun.com needs to cancel your charter due to unforeseen circumstances (such as but not limited to yacht unavailability due to damage, major technical issues, or force majeure events like severe weather conditions making the charter unsafe), we will notify you as soon as possible. In such cases, you will be offered the choice of a full refund of all payments made or alternative charter arrangements of comparable value and dates (subject to availability). If the alternative arrangement is of lower value, you will be entitled to a refund of the difference. Marefun.com shall not be liable for any consequential losses or expenses incurred by you due to such cancellation.
6. User Conduct and Responsibilities
6.1 Safety Compliance
During the charter period, you and all members of your party must strictly adhere to all safety instructions and guidelines provided by the yacht's crew and comply with all applicable local maritime laws and regulations. The captain's decisions regarding the safety of the yacht and its passengers are final.
6.2 Respect for the Yacht and Equipment
You are responsible for ensuring that you and your guests treat the yacht and its equipment with due care and respect. Any damage or loss caused to the yacht or its equipment during the charter period due to negligence, misuse, or non-compliance with the agreed terms and instructions will be your responsibility, and you will be liable for the cost of repair or replacement.
6.3 Prohibited Activities
The following activities are strictly prohibited on board the yacht: illegal activities, possession or use of illegal substances, exceeding the agreed number of guests, and any other activity that may endanger the safety of the yacht, its occupants, or third parties.
7. Insurance and Liability
7.1 Yacht Insurance
All yachts in our fleet are insured against standard marine risks, including damage to the vessel and third-party liability. Details of the insurance coverage applicable to your charter will be provided in the charter agreement.
7.2 Charterer's Liability
While our yachts are insured, the insurance policy may include deductibles for which the charterer may be responsible in the event of damage caused by their negligence or the negligence of their guests. We recommend that you consider obtaining your own personal travel and liability insurance to cover unforeseen circumstances, including personal injury, loss of personal belongings, and potential liability not covered by the yacht's insurance.
7.3 Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Marefun.com, its affiliates, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses) arising out of or relating to your use of the Website or the Services, or your charter experience, even if Marefun.com has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall not exceed the total amount paid by you for the specific charter in question. We are not responsible for any accidents, injuries, or losses that occur due to the negligence of the charterer or their guests, or due to events beyond our reasonable control.
8. Amendments to Terms
Marefun.com reserves the right to modify or amend these Terms and Conditions at any time without prior notice. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting on the Website. Your continued use of the Website and Services following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically for updates.
