Terms of Service
Last updated: [DATE] · Please read these terms carefully before using Seventh Sail.
1. Who we are
Seventh Sail is operated by [Legal Entity Name], Inc., a company registered in [TBD], the United States. We are a charter booking agent — we help you discover and book sailing charters offered by independent charter companies (“Operators”). We do not own, crew, or operate any vessel.
2. Our role — and the Operator’s
When you book, the charter contract is between you and the Operator. The Operator’s own terms, cancellation policy, and charter agreement govern the charter itself. We facilitate the connection and the booking; we are not a party to the charter contract and are not responsible for the vessel, its condition, the crew, or the conduct of the charter.
3. Bookings & payments
Pricing shown is provided by the Operator and may change until a booking is confirmed. Payment is collected directly by the Operator (deposit and balance) under their payment terms; Seventh Sail does not process or hold charter payments. A booking is confirmed only when the Operator confirms it and any required payment clears with the Operator.
4. Prices, deposits & extras
Displayed prices are estimates for the selected week and may exclude items such as the security deposit, APA (provisioning/fuel), end cleaning, tourist taxes, and optional extras. Final amounts, inclusions, and currency are set by the Operator and shown in the Operator’s booking documents.
5. Cancellations & refunds
Cancellations and refunds are governed by the Operator’s policy for your booking. See our Cancellation & Refunds page for how this works.
6. Your responsibilities
- Provide accurate booking and guest information.
- Hold any sailing qualifications the Operator requires (e.g. a skipper licence for a bareboat charter), or arrange a professional skipper.
- Comply with the Operator’s charter agreement, local laws, and safe-boating practices.
7. Intellectual property
The Seventh Sail site, its design, text, and all imagery — including our AI-generated vessel illustrations — are owned by [Legal Entity Name], Inc. or our licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws. You may not copy, scrape, reproduce, or reuse them without our written permission.
8. Disclaimers
The service is provided “as is.” We do not warrant that listings, availability, pricing, or Operator information are complete or error-free, and we are not liable for the acts or omissions of any Operator.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, [Legal Entity Name], Inc. is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any loss arising from the charter itself, which is the Operator’s responsibility. [Liability cap / carve-outs — counsel to set.]
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify [Legal Entity Name], Inc. against claims arising from your use of the service or your charter, except to the extent caused by our own fault.
11. Governing law & disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of [TBD], United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. [Venue / arbitration clause — counsel to set.]
12. Changes
We may update these terms; material changes will be posted here with a new “last updated” date.
