1. The tenant is obliged to follow
the instructions of the skipper in terms of navigation and
other instructions for the sake of sailing safely. The
skipper's orders include the adjustments made to the ship.
The tenant is responsible for the behaviour of his/her
guests on board.
2. The skipper and the tenant will
decide the sailing route by mutual agreement. The letter has
the authority to change the place, where the ship is made
available, and the delivery if necessary due to
circumstances. If these circumstances arise, such as mists
that make safe sailing impossible, blocking of bridges or
locks, storm, floating ice, and other dangerous
circumstances; or if these circumstances are predicted, the
ship will not sail, or will moor the docks at the nearest
harbour. All decided upon by the skipper. The letter is not
liable for damage to the tenant or his guests resulting from
these circumstances.
3. The ship will be in good
conditions, and is suitable to sail the route safely. The
letter answers for the skipper to be able to sail the ship
according to good seamanship.
4. The tenant is liable for the
damage caused by unlawful, or unjust behaviour of himself
and of his/her guests, resulting in damage to the ship or
third parties. The owner of the ship has taken out a
third-party insurance covering persons aboard as well. The
ship's insurance covers damage to the hull as well. The
tenant is obligated to pay the letter for the damage
specified in paragraph 1 in case the insurance specified in
subsection 2 of this section will not pay. The policy excess
has to be paid by the tenant.
5. The letter is not liable for the
damage to the tenant or his/her guest during the duration
of, and in connection to this agreement, unless resulting
from malice aforethought or culpability.

offered.
9. Costs, resulting from the
breaking of the agreement (one of more paragraphs of the
section) by one party, have to be paid by the party that is
not keeping to the agreement.
