of God, i.e. objective reasons stated by client (death in the family, unstable health condition, a serious accident, etc.) the amount that has already been settled shall not be returned, although the first next free appointment of the vessel shall be 

put at client's disposal. 

However, in case it would not be possible to make the stated vessel available for the said client by Bomi Ship d.o.o. owing to justified reasons, such as severe damages of the vessel during the previous charters, the company shall for the client enable the following: 

· a reserve vessel with the same or similar features and equipment without any delay, or 

· a 100% rebate of the paid amount for the charter vessel. 

Should any of the vessel's parts be damaged or lost during the previous charter, and if it were impossible to obtain the new vessel parts prior to the date of the new charter, provided their loss will not affect the security of navigation, it will not be 

possible for the client to give up the charter or to demand a reduction of the charter price. 

 

3) DEPOSIT AND INSURANCE 

All our vessels have been hull insured with deductible franchise in the amount of the charged deposits according to the price-list for the current year. Insurance against loss or damage towards persons and against loss or damage towards third 

party has been included, too. The aforegoing insurance does not cover damages of personal property of clients and property brought to the vessel and a deliberately caused damage, or any damage caused by clients' lack of diligence. 

A) DEPOSIT 

Before taking over the vessel the client shall be liable to deposit a certain amount in the national currency (HRK) in cash or as credit card deposit (Visa, Master,Diners). After the completion of yacht charter the whole deposit shall be repaid to the 

client, unless some damages or loss of equipment are noticed. Otherwise the stated deposit shall be kept in the amount needed for the repair or for purchase of damaged or lost equipment. Paying deposit is obligatory in cases when a skipper by 

the company Bomi Ship d.o.o. is hired. In such a case the said deposit cannot be used for covering the costs emerged due to skipper's negligence, bad operation of the vessel or its equipment. 

 B) TERRITORIAL WATERS OF REPUBLIC OF CROATIA 

If the client wants to sail outside the area of the territorial waters of the Republic of Croatia he shall be liable to inform the company Bomi Ship d.o.o. about their intentions as soon as possible, in order a vessel should be insured for that occasion, 

and simultaneously the client shall be encumbered for the stated insurance. 

D) ENGINE TROUBLE and severe damages 

Should any damage emerge during the yacht charter owing to usual abrasion of materials, the client shall be entitled to organize troubleshooting in the amount of EURO 150.00 and the aforegoing amount shall be repaid after the vessel's arrival 

into the charter base. Invoice of damage for refundation should be done on Bomi Ship d.o.o Marasovica 22, Split MB 0265012 

Should the damage be repaired by Bomi Ship d.o.o. within 24 hours, the client shall have no right to request any reimbursement. 

If the damage could not be repaired on the way and therefore the return to the charter base would be required, the repair should be organized preliminary in order that it should be repaired in time for the next client. Costs for the lost days shall 

be refunded only if the damage were caused by Bomi Ship d.o.o. Otherwise, clients cannot expect any reimbursement of the stated costs and shall be liable to cover additional costs for finding a new vessel. 

If severe damages, engine troubles, loss of vessel, personal injuries would happen, the client should be liable to inform the company Bomi Ship d.o.o. and obtain minutes and certification on the emerged incident by other parties (e.g. port 

authority, physician, authorised expert, etc.). 

 

4) TAKING OVER THE VESSEL 

The client undertakes that on the occasion of taking over the vessel he shall give to the representative of Bomi Ship d.o.o. a verified voucher with all charterer's data and charter appointment with an insight into the original document of the 

skipper's licence. The vessel is to be delivered with full fuel and water tank. The vessel has to be returned to the charter base in the same way. 

On the occasion of taking over the vessel the client shall examine the inventory list with the representative of Bomi Ship d.o.o. confirming the condition of the delivered vessel with his signature. The same procedure shall be done with instruments aboard. 

Any possible client's supplemental complaints would not be accepted if the client confirmed the correctness of the vessel and completeness of the vessel's equipment. Possible concealed faults and/or equipment unknown to the company Bomi 

Ship d.o.o. shall not entitle the client to require the charter price deduction. 

Bomi Ship d.o.o. may require from the client (or skipper) to demonstrate their navigation skills in presence of a representative of Bomi Ship d.o.o. The costs for the stated demonstration shall be paid by the client and the time spent for testing shall be included in the charter period of the vessel. Should it be considered that the client (skipper) is not skilled enough, Bomi Ship d.o.o. shall hire an official skipper and the required costs for such a service shall be settled according to the presently effective price-list by the client. 

If the client refuses the skipper, it shall be forbidden for him to leave the charter base, the contract shall be immediately terminated and the paid rent shall be kept without any right to reimbursement 

 

5) TAKING BACK THE VESSEL 

On the occasion of taking back the vessel and checking the vessel according to the inventory list the fuel tank shall be examined, too. If the fuel tank were empty, the client should pay for fuel and possible damages aboard up to the deposit 

amount, if any damages should be confirmed during the vessels examination. If the vessel were in a good state, the whole deposit would be repaid the client. 

Should the client take back the vessel to a port that is not included in the contract as a destination port, the client should pay all costs included the vessel's transfer to the destination port and if the client were overdue, he should be fined. 

Running behind schedule owing to weather conditions is not justified because it is necessary to keep the vessel at an appropriate distance from the charter base. Every delay longer than 3 hours shall be fined with double daily charter price 

with the costs emerged due to impossibility of the vessel's delivery to next client. 

If the client wished to make check out before agreed date and time,he would be liable to inform BomiShip d.o.o. about this intention at least 48 h earlier.
