2021 Bennington Tritoon at Pickwick

1. DAMAGES: RENTER understands that all damages will be repaired by the owner’s authorized mechanics and/or repairmen; and no repairs will be allowed by RENTER or others. I understand that I as RENTER am responsible for all damages, even if they are above the amount of my initial security deposit or authorization.              2. CANCELLATION/NO SHOW POLICY: RENTER understands that when the watercraft is reserved, it is no longer available for other customers, and therefore the captain cannot commit the watercraft to another customer during the reserved dates/times. Consequently, in the event RENTER cancels, changes dates, shortens the rental period, or in any other way, seeks to change the rental period, the entire rental total shall still be due and payable.                                                       4. BOAT OUT OF COMMISSION DUE TO DAMAGE: RENTER acknowledges and understands that in the event of extensive damage to the watercraft during the RENTER’s rental period, which damage requires the watercraft to be out of commission, RENTER shall be liable to pay the captain for all days the watercraft is out of commission including any time outside of the original rental period during which time the watercraft is unavailable to rent to other customers. No refunds will be offered.               5. FUEL: RENTER acknowledges that the fuel is included in the rental price. If RENTER elects to refuel the boat, any spills, waste of fuel, or damage will be the RENTER’s responsibility.       4. INSPECTION OF EQUIPMENT: The captain  certifies that the watercraft is in good mechanical and physical condition.     PLEASE BE AWARE: MAJOR PROBLEMS THAT CAN ARISE ARE FEW BUT COSTLY. THE VALUE OF THE WATERCRAFT CAN EXCEED $85,000 FOR FULL REPLACEMENT AND REPAIRS CAN REACH INTO THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.   5. THEFT OR LOSS: In case of theft or loss, RENTER is responsible for the replacement value of the equipment during the rental period. In case of abuse, damage, or theft by any person, the RENTER will be charged for the repair or replacement of the equipment.       6. WATERCRAFT USE: The RENTER understands that conditions (weather, water levels, etc.) are variable, and RENTER must exercise caution, pre-planning, and good judgment in the use of watercraft. At NO TIME should the total weight in the boat exceed the maximum listed weight as marked on the plate in the front of the boat (ballast, persons and equipment must all be added up and should not exceed the listed weight). Even if the weight limit has not been reached, caution must be exercised to prevent waves from entering the boat from rough water or water sports activity.             7. AUTHORIZE/REVOKE USE OF EQUIPMENT: The captain reserves the right to (a) authorize the use of the equipment, and (b) revoke the use of the equipment. Decisions on the part of the captain regarding the use of the equipment by RENTER are made for safety reasons, including, but not limited to, the following: (a) unsafe operation of the equipment; (b) lack of sobriety of RENTER or any other person using the rented equipment; and/or (c) unsafe weather conditions.
