Each a "Party" and together the "Parties".

Background

(B) The Owner owns or has the legal right to commercially rent the vessel(s) it wishes to list on the Platform and wishes to make such vessel(s) available for rental through the Platform.

(C) This Agreement governs the listing of the Owner's vessel(s) on the Platform and the terms on which the Platform facilitates rentals.

1.2 References to clauses are to clauses of this Agreement unless otherwise stated.

1.3 Words in the singular include the plural and vice versa.

2. Nature of the Relationship

2.1 The Platform operates as a technology intermediary. The Platform does not own, operate, manage, charter, captain, or insure any Vessel and is not a party to any Rental Agreement entered into between the Owner and a Renter.

2.2 The Owner is at all times an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or franchise relationship between the Parties.

2.3 The Owner is and remains solely responsible for the operation, maintenance, insurance, regulatory compliance, and commercial performance of each Vessel.

2.4 This Agreement is non-exclusive. The Owner may list the Vessel(s) on competing platforms, accept direct bookings, or otherwise commercially operate the Vessel(s) outside the Platform, save that the Owner shall maintain accurate availability on the Platform pursuant to clause 4.5.

3. Owner Warranties and Undertakings

3.1 The Owner warrants and undertakes, on the date of this Agreement and on each date a Vessel is made available for Booking, that:

the Owner is the legal owner of each Vessel or holds an irrevocable written authorisation from the legal owner to commercially rent the Vessel through the Platform;
each Vessel is duly registered with the relevant Cypriot authorities and holds all certifications, inspections, and permits required for commercial passenger operation under the laws of the Republic of Cyprus, including without limitation the Merchant Shipping (Masters and Seamen) Laws and any regulations of the Department of Merchant Shipping;
each Vessel is seaworthy, properly maintained, and equipped with all safety equipment required by Cypriot maritime law, including but not limited to life jackets for every person on board, flares, fire extinguishers, a first aid kit, navigation lights, and (where applicable) VHF radio;
the Owner holds and maintains in force valid third-party liability insurance for each Vessel with a minimum cover of EUR 1,000,000 per incident, and hull insurance to a value commercially reasonable for the Vessel; and any required passenger liability insurance for commercial passenger operations;
any skipper, captain, crew member, or instructor provided by the Owner holds the qualifications and licences required under Cypriot law for commercial operation of the Vessel, including where applicable the High-Speed Small Vessel (HSSV) licence and any commercial endorsements;
the Owner complies with all applicable tax obligations in Cyprus, including VAT registration where required and the issuance of compliant invoices;
all information provided in the Listing is accurate, complete, and not misleading, including specifications, photographs (which must depict the actual Vessel), pricing, location, capacity, and engine power; and
the Owner has not been the subject of any maritime safety prosecution, licence revocation, or insurance cancellation in the five (5) years preceding this Agreement.

3.2 The Owner shall provide the Platform, on request, with copies of all registration documents, insurance certificates, safety inspection certificates, and operator licences. The Platform may withhold or delist a Vessel pending receipt or verification of such documents.

3.3 The Owner shall notify the Platform in writing within forty-eight (48) hours of any: (a) lapse, cancellation, or material change to insurance cover; (b) damage to or material defect in a Vessel that affects safety or fitness for purpose; (c) loss or suspension of any required operator licence; (d) maritime incident, accident, or near-miss involving a Vessel listed on the Platform; or (e) regulatory enforcement action against the Owner or a Vessel.

4. Listings and Availability

4.1 The Owner shall create each Listing using the tools provided on the Website. The Owner is solely responsible for the content of each Listing.

4.2 The Owner shall clearly specify for each Vessel whether the Vessel is offered for: (a) bareboat (self-drive) rental; (b) skippered rental only; or (c) both, with prices for each option.

4.3 For Vessels offered on a bareboat basis with engines exceeding 30 horsepower, the Owner acknowledges that under Cypriot law the Renter must either (i) hold a valid recognised boating licence (ICC, RYA Day Skipper or above, an EU national licence, or the Cyprus HSSV licence), or (ii) if a temporary visitor to Cyprus for fewer than thirty (30) days, sign a competency declaration following a documented safety briefing. The Owner is solely responsible for verifying licence or competency at handover and refusing to release the Vessel where such verification fails. The Owner shall retain a copy of the licence or signed competency declaration for at least two (2) years.

4.4 Pricing displayed in a Listing shall be inclusive of all amounts the Owner intends to collect from the Renter for the rental itself, save for the Security Deposit, fuel surcharges expressly stated in the Listing, and the Renter Service Fee added at checkout.

4.5 The Owner shall maintain an accurate availability calendar. If the Owner accepts a booking outside the Platform that conflicts with availability shown on the Platform, the Owner must update the calendar within twenty-four (24) hours. Failure to honour a Booking due to outdated availability is a Quality Default under clause 9.

4.6 The Platform reserves the right, acting reasonably, to edit, refuse, suspend, or remove any Listing that breaches this Agreement, applicable law, the Platform's content guidelines, or which the Platform considers in its discretion to present a safety, legal, or reputational risk.

4.7 Unclaimed Listings. The Platform may create a draft Listing for a Vessel in advance of Owner registration, drawing on information about the Vessel publicly published by the Owner (including without limitation the Owner's own website). Such Listings are marked "unclaimed" and may be claimed by the legal Owner via a single-use claim link sent to the Owner's email address. On claim, the Owner accepts this Agreement and assumes responsibility for the Listing as if originally created by the Owner. The Owner may request removal of an Unclaimed Listing at any time prior to claim by emailing the Platform's support address; the Platform shall remove the Listing within seven (7) days of a verified request.

5. Booking Process and Rental Agreement

5.1 The Platform shall present Bookings to the Owner via the Website and notify the Owner by email and/or SMS. Save where the Listing is set to instant-book, the Owner shall accept or decline each Booking within twenty-four (24) hours, failing which the Booking shall expire.

5.2 On acceptance of a Booking, a binding Rental Agreement is formed directly between the Owner and the Renter on the terms set out in the Platform's standard Rental Agreement template, as supplemented by Listing-specific terms specified by the Owner and not inconsistent with the template.

5.3 At Vessel handover the Owner shall: (a) execute the Rental Agreement in writing or electronically; (b) verify the Renter's licence or obtain a signed competency declaration; (c) deliver a documented safety briefing covering, at minimum, life jackets, no-go zones, the 5-knot harbour speed limit, alcohol limits, navigation lights, and distress procedures; (d) document the pre-rental condition of the Vessel by photograph or video, including fuel level and equipment inventory; and (e) provide the Renter with emergency contact information.

5.4 On Vessel return the Owner shall, within twenty-four (24) hours, document the post-rental condition of the Vessel and submit any claim against the Security Deposit via the Platform's damage report tool. Claims submitted outside that channel or after the 24-hour window may be refused.

5.5 Booking notice and lead time. Save as the Platform may vary on notice, Bookings may be made no less than two (2) hours before rental start and no more than three hundred and sixty-five (365) days in advance.

6. Pricing, Commission, and Payouts

6.1 The Platform shall collect from each Renter, at the time of Booking: (a) the rental price set by the Owner; (b) a renter service fee equal to five percent (5%) of the rental price (or such other rate as the Platform may notify in accordance with clause 6.7) (the "Renter Service Fee"); and (c) the Security Deposit specified in the Listing.

6.2 The Platform charges the Owner a commission equal to ten percent (10%) of the rental price on each completed Booking (the "Owner Commission"). The Platform's remuneration under this Agreement comprises (i) the Renter Service Fee and (ii) the Owner Commission. The Platform reserves the right to vary either or both amounts in accordance with clause 6.7.

6.3 Payment by Renters and payouts to Owners are processed via Stripe Connect or such other regulated payment service provider as the Platform may select. The Owner shall complete onboarding with the payment service provider, including identity and bank verification, before any payout can be released.

6.4 Subject to clause 6.5, the Platform shall release the rental price set by the Owner, net of the Owner Commission, to the Owner's connected payout account twenty-four (24) hours after the scheduled rental end time.

6.5 The Platform may withhold all or part of a payout where: (a) the Renter has raised a dispute under clause 8; (b) the Owner is in breach of this Agreement; (c) the Platform is required to do so by law, by the payment service provider, or by a competent authority; or (d) the Platform reasonably suspects fraud, misrepresentation, or a safety incident.

6.6 The Security Deposit shall be held by the Platform and released to the Renter twenty-four (24) hours after rental end, save where the Owner has notified a deduction claim under clause 5.4. Disputed deductions are handled under clause 8.

6.7 The Platform may amend the Renter Service Fee, the Owner Commission, or change payout timing on not less than thirty (30) days' written notice. The Owner may terminate this Agreement under clause 11.2 if it does not accept the amendment.

6.8 All amounts under this Agreement are stated exclusive of VAT, which shall be added where applicable. The Owner is responsible for issuing VAT-compliant invoices to Renters where required by Cypriot law for the rental itself. The Renter Service Fee is charged by the Platform to the Renter and the Platform shall issue any required VAT documentation to the Renter directly. The Owner Commission is charged by the Platform to the Owner; VAT on the Owner Commission shall be added where applicable and the Platform shall issue a VAT-compliant invoice to the Owner for the Owner Commission.

7. Cancellations and Force Majeure

7.1 The Platform operates a standard set of cancellation policies applicable to all Bookings, as published on the Website and amended from time to time. As at the date of this Agreement these comprise Flexible, Moderate, Strict, Super Strict, and Non-Refundable. The Owner selects an applicable policy for each Listing from the policies then offered by the Platform; the Owner may not impose stricter cancellation terms outside that set without the Platform's prior written consent.

7.2 Where the Owner cancels a confirmed Booking other than for safety reasons documented under clause 7.3, the Platform may: (a) refund the Renter in full from amounts otherwise payable to the Owner; (b) charge the Owner a cancellation penalty equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the cancelled Gross Booking Value (which the Parties acknowledge is a penalty distinct from the Owner Commission); and (c) treat the cancellation as a Quality Default under clause 9.

7.3 Where weather conditions, mechanical failure, or other circumstances beyond the Owner's reasonable control make rental unsafe, the Owner shall: (a) notify the Renter and the Platform as early as possible; (b) offer a reasonable rescheduled date; and (c) where rescheduling is not accepted, refund the Renter in full. No cancellation penalty shall be charged in such cases provided the Owner can substantiate the safety basis on request.

8. Dispute Resolution and Damage Claims

8.1 Where a dispute arises between the Owner and a Renter relating to a Booking (including damage claims, refund requests, or service complaints), the Parties shall first attempt to resolve the dispute directly.

8.2 If the dispute is not resolved within seventy-two (72) hours, either Party may refer the dispute to the Platform's resolution service. The Platform shall act as a good-faith mediator, gather evidence from both Parties, and reach a determination within ten (10) business days.

8.3 Pending resolution, the Platform may withhold the disputed amount from the Owner's payout and/or the Renter's Security Deposit. The Platform's determination shall be binding for the purpose of releasing funds held by the Platform but shall not prevent either Party from pursuing other legal remedies.

8.4 The Owner shall provide all evidence reasonably requested by the Platform within forty-eight (48) hours of request, including handover documentation, condition photographs, and the executed Rental Agreement. Failure to provide such evidence may result in determination in favour of the Renter.

9. Quality Standards and Default

9.1 The Owner shall: (a) respond to Booking inquiries within twenty-four (24) hours; (b) maintain an acceptance rate of not less than eighty percent (80%) of received Bookings; (c) maintain an average Renter rating of not less than 4.0 out of 5.0; and (d) refrain from soliciting or accepting off-Platform Bookings from Renters first introduced through the Platform for a period of twelve (12) months following such introduction.

9.2 Each of the following constitutes a "Quality Default": (a) failure to honour a confirmed Booking; (b) material misrepresentation in a Listing; (c) failure to maintain insurance or required licences; (d) breach of clause 9.1(d) (off-Platform circumvention); (e) repeated late or non-response to Bookings; (f) Renter ratings persistently below the threshold in clause 9.1(c); (g) any conduct or incident that exposes the Platform or Renters to safety, regulatory, or reputational risk.

9.3 On a Quality Default the Platform may, in its discretion: (a) issue a written warning; (b) suspend the Listing temporarily; (c) terminate this Agreement under clause 11.3; and/or (d) charge the Owner liquidated damages for off-Platform circumvention equal to twenty percent (20%) of the value of any rental booked off-Platform in breach of clause 9.1(d), the Parties agreeing this represents a genuine pre-estimate of the Platform's loss.

10. Indemnity and Limitation of Liability

10.1 The Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless the Platform, its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) the operation, condition, or maintenance of any Vessel; (b) any incident, accident, injury, death, or property damage occurring during or in connection with a rental; (c) any breach by the Owner of this Agreement or of any Rental Agreement; (d) any breach by the Owner of applicable law, including maritime safety, tax, employment, and consumer protection law; and (e) any inaccuracy or misrepresentation in a Listing. This indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement.

10.2 The Platform's aggregate liability to the Owner under or in connection with this Agreement, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed the greater of (a) five thousand euros (EUR 5,000), or (b) the total Renter Service Fees and Owner Commission received by the Platform on Bookings of the Owner's Vessel(s) in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to liability.

10.3 The Platform shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, special, or punitive loss, including loss of profit, loss of goodwill, loss of business opportunity, or loss of anticipated savings.

10.4 Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under Cypriot law.

11. Term and Termination

11.1 This Agreement commences on the date the Owner accepts these terms during account registration (or, in the case of an Unclaimed Listing, on claim by the Owner) and continues until terminated in accordance with this clause.

11.2 Either Party may terminate this Agreement for convenience on thirty (30) days' written notice to the other.

11.3 The Platform may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect by written notice if: (a) the Owner commits a material breach incapable of remedy, or fails to remedy a remediable breach within fourteen (14) days of notice; (b) the Owner becomes insolvent or enters any insolvency or restructuring proceeding; (c) the Owner ceases to hold required licences or insurance; or (d) the Platform reasonably determines that continuing the relationship presents an unacceptable safety, legal, or reputational risk.

11.4 On termination: (a) all Listings shall be removed from the Website; (b) confirmed Bookings with rental dates after termination shall, at the Platform's option, either be honoured by the Owner on existing terms or refunded to the Renter (with the Owner liable for any refund cost); (c) the Platform shall pay out any amounts undisputedly due to the Owner; and (d) clauses 6.8, 8, 9.3, 10, 12, 13, and 14 shall survive.

12. Confidentiality and Data Protection

12.1 Each Party shall keep confidential all non-public information disclosed by the other Party in connection with this Agreement and use it only for the purposes of performing this Agreement.

12.2 The Platform processes personal data in accordance with the Platform Privacy Policy and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and the Cyprus Processing of Personal Data (Protection of Individuals) Law of 2018.

12.3 The Platform shall share with the Owner the personal data of Renters strictly to the extent necessary for the performance of a Booking. The Owner shall act as a separate data controller in respect of such data, shall use it solely for the purpose of performing the Rental Agreement, and shall not use Renter contact details for marketing or to solicit off-Platform bookings.

12.4 The Owner shall maintain its own GDPR-compliant privacy notice and shall indemnify the Platform for any losses arising from the Owner's breach of data protection law.

13. Intellectual Property

13.1 The Owner retains ownership of photographs, videos, and descriptive content uploaded to a Listing ("Owner Content").

13.2 The Owner grants the Platform a worldwide, royalty-free, sub-licensable licence to use, reproduce, modify, display, and distribute Owner Content for the purposes of operating, marketing, and promoting the Platform and the Listing. This licence survives termination to the extent necessary for archival, legal, and historical-record purposes.

13.3 The Owner warrants that it owns or has all necessary rights in Owner Content and that its use by the Platform will not infringe any third-party rights. Where Owner Content was sourced by the Platform from materials publicly published by the Owner (including the Owner's own website) for the purpose of creating an Unclaimed Listing, the Owner ratifies the use of such Owner Content on claim and may request removal or replacement of any pre-populated content via the Platform's listing-management tools.

13.4 All trademarks, software, designs, and platform technology of the Platform remain the exclusive property of the Platform.
