Terms and Conditions

1. Tubber Terms and Conditions

 

1.1 To use this platform and our services, you warrant that (i) you are at least 18 years old, and (ii) you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement (governed by these terms and conditions) with us. Tubber.com reserves the right to deny anyone access to this platform and the services we offer.

 

1.2 These terms and conditions governing the relationship with you apply to all our services that are made available directly or indirectly (through distributors) online, via a mobile device, by email, or by telephone. By visiting our website or one of our applications, browsing and using it via any platform (collectively referred to as the “platform”) and/or by making a reservation, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the terms and conditions (including the privacy and cookie policy), and you explicitly agree to and accept the terms and conditions (including the privacy and cookie policy).

 

1.3 These pages, the content and infrastructure of these pages, and the online boat reservation service provided through the platform (including any customer service) (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “service”) are owned, managed, and offered by Tubber.com B.V., with its registered office and place of business at Friesestraatweg 211a, 9743 AD, Groningen, the Netherlands (hereinafter “Tubber.com,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and are offered for your personal, non-commercial (B2C) use, subject to the terms and conditions set out below.

 

1.4 As the person making the reservation, you are responsible for the actions and behavior (in relation to the reservation) of everyone in the group. You are also responsible for obtaining their consent before providing their personal data to us.

 

2. Tubber.com is not a tour operator/travel agent

2.1 Tubber does not act as a tour operator or travel agent. Tubber does not offer package tours or linked travel arrangements as referred to in Directive (EU) 2015/2302 on package tours and linked travel arrangements. Tubber is therefore not liable for the (full or partial) execution of the trip, nor for any shortcomings or defects that occur during the trip. The responsibility for the execution of the services lies entirely with the relevant service providers (such as rental companies, skippers, or other third parties) with whom the renter enters into a direct agreement.

 

3. Our Service

3.1 Through the platform, we (Tubber.com and its partners) offer an online platform where all types of boat operators (e.g., charters, marinas, flotillas, individual boat owners, water sports rental companies, yacht brokers, boat rental platforms, travel agents, collectively the “boat provider(s)”) can offer, promote, and market their boats for rent, and where visitors to the platform can search for, compare (prices), and book these boats. In addition to the reservation service, we offer you our customer support. Our shipmates are available 24/7 (including weekends) to help you with any questions or problems. Furthermore, we accompany - at an additional charge - in some sailing areas, groups of boats (flotillas) with an accompanying boat and skipper (the “flotilla leader”). The flotilla leader can provide you with information about the sailing area and assist you with any practical matters. The information and assistance provided never relieves you, as skipper, of your own responsibility for the safety of yourself and your crew, for the safe navigation and use of your boat, and for any operational decisions and actions. The flotilla leader acts solely as a nautical guide and is not a travel service. His/her role is to provide support on the water, not to organize trips or excursions ashore.

 

3.2 By renting or booking a boat through Tubber.com (including any request to do so), you enter into a direct (legally binding) contractual relationship with the relevant boat provider from whom you rent a boat or with whom you make the request. From the moment you make a request and/or rent or book your boat, we act solely as an intermediary (agent of the boat provider) between you and the boat provider, whereby we send the details of your (request for) booking to the relevant boat provider and send you a confirmation email on behalf of the boat provider. A request or application for a reservation is only final after formal confirmation in the reservation process or confirmation email.

 

3.3 Tubber.com does not rent out the boats itself and does not offer any other (travel) products or services, unless otherwise indicated or agreed. Tubber.com shall in no way be liable or responsible for the actions or omissions of the boat provider (including all damage and costs suffered by guests and/or caused by or at the expense and risk of the boat provider (or persons or (auxiliary) matters for which the boat provider is liable). Depending on the requirements and the offer, you can sail the boat provider's boat independently (bareboat), with a skipper, or in a flotilla (jointly).

 

3.4 When offering our services, the information we display is based on the information provided to us by the boat providers. As such, boat providers have access to an online system through which they are solely responsible for updating the rental price, availability, and other information displayed on our platform. Although we will use all reasonable means in providing our services, we cannot verify whether, and cannot guarantee that, all information is accurate, complete, or correct, nor can we be held responsible for any errors (including typographical errors), any missing information, interruptions (whether due to a [temporary and/or partial] malfunction, repair, upgrade, or maintenance of our platform or otherwise), inaccurate, misleading, or untrue information, or failure to provide information. Each boat provider remains responsible at all times for the accuracy, completeness, and correctness of the information (including the rental price and availability) displayed on our platform. If the rented yacht is unavailable (e.g., due to damage), the boat provider may offer you another yacht.

 

3.5 Our platform does not constitute a recommendation, endorsement, or guarantee of the quality, service level, suitability, or rating of a boat provider (or its (additional) products, services, or facilities) and should not be considered as such.

 

3.6 If you have purchased insurance through our platform, please refer to the insurance policy or the terms and conditions of the relevant insurance for further information. These general terms and conditions do not apply to insurance. Tubber.com.com is not an insurance provider, agent, or (re)seller, and this falls outside the scope of our service.

 

4. Boat providers

4.1 The relationship we have with providers of various boats is governed by separate agreements with the relevant providers. Each provider is expected to offer its product or service on a professional basis. Please note that boat providers – in addition to the policy and small print as stated on the website – may have their own terms and conditions and house rules and/or declare them applicable to the use of the boat (these terms and conditions may contain certain disclaimers and limitations of liability).

 

4.2 Only boat providers that have a commercial relationship with Tubber.com (via an agreement) will be made available on the platform (for their B2B and/or B2C promotion of their product). Tubber.com is not an open platform (such as Amazon or eBay) where end users can make their product available (no C2C platform); Tubber.com does not allow non-professional parties to offer or sell their products on or via Tubber.com.

4.3 Tubber.com.com and the boat provider are each entitled to terminate their relationship for any reason (including in the event of breach of contract or (application for) bankruptcy) with due observance of the relevant notice period as agreed between both parties.

 

4.4 Treat the boat and its furnishings, electronics, and other contents and facilities with care and leave them in the same condition as when you arrived. Report any damage to the boat provider in a timely manner.

 

5. Additional terms and conditions of the boat provider

5.1 The boat provider in question may apply additional terms and conditions or policies (such as house rules, contract terms, security deposits, or provisions regarding crew).

 

5.2 It is the sole responsibility of the renter to request these terms and conditions from the boat provider in a timely manner and to take note of their content.

 

5.3 If the renter fails to request these terms and conditions prior to or during the booking, or does so too late, the consequences thereof shall be entirely at the expense and risk of the renter.

 

5.4 Failure by the boat provider to make such terms and conditions available or to make them available too late shall not affect the validity of the reservation via Tubber.

 

5.5 Upon receipt of the boat, the boat provider may request the renter to sign an additional rental agreement or check-in document regarding the condition and use of the boat, mutual responsibilities, and any security deposits.

- This is standard practice in the charter industry and comparable to the procedures for car rental, where an agreement or registration is also signed at check-in or pick-up.

- Signing such an agreement does not affect the reservation already made, but constitutes a customary further elaboration of the agreed rental and the actual use of the boat.

- If the renter refuses or fails to sign this agreement, this is entirely at the renter's expense and risk and does not release the renter from their obligations under the original booking (including payment obligations). In such a case, no refund is due and the renter bears all costs arising from this.

- Tubber is not a party to this additional agreement and bears no responsibility or liability for it.

 

6. Skipper services

6.1 If you opt for a skipper or other additional crew services, this agreement is concluded exclusively between you (as the renter) and the relevant boat provider (or its representative). Tubber is expressly not a party to this and has no role in it. The skipper's fee is not collected by Tubber, but is settled directly and separately with the boat provider or the skipper, in accordance with the terms and conditions applied by the boat provider.

 

6.2 Any additional terms and conditions or house rules relating to the use of a skipper are agreed exclusively between the renter and the boat provider and are not the responsibility of Tubber.

 

6.3 Tubber is therefore not liable for the availability, quality, or performance of skipper services or other additional crew services.

 

6.4 Regardless of the presence or use of a skipper or other crew services, the renter remains ultimately responsible at all times for compliance with all applicable legal requirements, sailing schedules, sailing rules, permits, certificates, and for the safety of the boat, crew, and passengers. The presence of a skipper does not relieve the renter of these responsibilities and obligations.

7. Prices

7.1 Unless otherwise stated, all prices on the Tubber.com platform are per boat for your entire reservation, including VAT and all other taxes (subject to changes in such taxes) and any additional service charges, surcharges, and extras (such as fuel surcharge, flotilla surcharge, skipper surcharge), unless otherwise stated on our platform or in the reservation. For additional services and products (including final cleaning, use of a skipper, and any additional persons than indicated in the relevant offer), additional surcharges, costs, or fees may be charged by the travel provider.

 

7.2 Applicable surcharges, costs, fees, and taxes (including any tourist tax) may be charged by the boat provider in the event of a no-show or cancellation. Sometimes cheaper rates are available on our platform for a specific duration or product. However, these rates made available by the boat provider may come with special restrictions and conditions, for example, non-cancellable and non-refundable. Please check the relevant product and booking conditions and details carefully before making your booking.

 

7.4 Obvious errors and mistakes (including printing errors) are not binding.

 

7.5 We charge an administrative fee of EUR 35 (including VAT) per reservation. Boat providers pay us a fee for each reservation (a small percentage of the boat rental price) after the renter has paid the rental price.

 

7.6 All special offers and promotions are marked as such. If they are not marked as such, you cannot derive any rights from obvious errors or mistakes.

 

7.7 Some of the prices you see may be rounded to the nearest whole number. The price you pay will be based on the original, ‘unrounded’ price (although the actual difference is likely to be small anyway).

 

7.8 If your payment method is in a currency other than the specified payment currency, your bank or payment method provider (or their payment service providers) may charge additional fees. This may happen, for example, if your credit card is in euros, but the boat provider charges in dollars or pounds.

 

7.9 If you know of or suspect any fraudulent behavior or unauthorized use of your payment method, please contact your payment provider as soon as possible.

 

8. Payment, refunds, and cancellation/changes (terms and conditions)

8.1 Please read the booking terms and conditions carefully so that you are aware of any applicable payment, cancellation, and/or change conditions and additional costs before you rent.

 

8.2 Boat providers may request that the rental price (in full or in part) be paid in advance to guarantee the rental. During the reservation process, you will be asked to pay a deposit and/or security deposit for your rental to the relevant boat provider. The payment will be securely processed from your credit/debit card or bank account to the boat provider's bank account via an external payment processor. For certain products and services, Tubber.com.com (via external payment processors) facilitates the payment of the relevant reservation for and on behalf of the boat provider.

 

8.3 Any payment facilitated by us for and on behalf of and transferred to the boat provider will in any case constitute a discharge of (part of) the booking price you have paid for the relevant product or service, and you cannot reclaim such amounts paid.

 

8.4 By making a reservation on our platform, you agree to and accept the relevant terms and conditions offered during the booking process (e.g., payment terms, change terms, and/or no-show/cancellation conditions) of the relevant boat provider, and any additional terms and conditions (including house rules) of the boat provider that may apply to your booking or rental, including (additional) services and/or products offered by the boat provider. The terms and conditions (including house rules) of a boat provider can be requested from the relevant boat provider.

 

8.5 The change/cancellation conditions are available on our platform on the relevant rental page, during the reservation process, and in the confirmation email. Please note that some rental options cannot be canceled or changed. The right of withdrawal under European consumer law does not apply when booking a boat.

 

8.6 Please check the reservation conditions and other important information and conditions (such as age requirements, accessibility, any conditions (required skills, certificates, and sailing licenses), and surcharges for group bookings, drop-offs, and any additional deposits) before making a reservation. And don't forget to make any further (down) payments on time and in full.

 

8.7 Please note that a reservation may be canceled (without prior warning or notice) if the relevant (remaining) rental amount(s) or deposit cannot be collected on the relevant payment date in accordance with the relevant payment policy of the reservation. Late payment, incorrect bank, debit, or credit card details, invalid credit cards/bank cards, or insufficient funds in your account are at your own risk and responsibility. You are not entitled to a refund of any (non-refundable) prepaid amount, unless the boat provider and/or its payment/cancellation terms agree to this.

 

8.8 If you wish to view, change, or cancel your reservation, please refer to the confirmation email and follow the instructions therein. Please note that you may be charged for your cancellation in accordance with the boat provider's cancellation, (advance) payment, and no-show policy, or you may not be entitled to any refund of any (advance) payment.

 

8.9 You cannot hold Tubber.com.com liable or responsible for any (authorized, (allegedly) unauthorized, or incorrect) charges by the boat provider, and you will not claim any amount (again) for any valid or authorized charges by the boat provider (including for prepaid charges), no-show, and non-refundable cancellation) from your credit card.

 

8.10 In the event of a no-show or charged cancellation, any applicable tourist tax may still be charged by the boat provider.

 

8.11 If you pay in your own currency (instead of the requested foreign currency), the payment processor may charge certain exchange rates and/or additional costs/surcharges. In the event of a refund, the payment processor may apply different costs, surcharges, and/or exchange rates than those applied when the reservation was made and/or payment was made.

 

9 Correspondence and communication

9.1 By completing a reservation, you agree to receive (i) an email from us providing you with information about your rental option and certain information and offers (including third-party offers, if you have actively opted in to receive such information) relevant to your rental and destination, and (ii) an email we send you after your rental, inviting you to leave your review.

 

9.2 We can help you communicate with your boat provider, but that does not mean we take responsibility for the booked product or service, or travel experience, or for anything the boat provider does or does not do. We cannot guarantee that they will read anything from you or that they will do what you ask. In itself, the fact that you contact them or they contact you does not mean that you have grounds for legal action.

 

9.3 If you have a late or delayed arrival on the check-in date or arrive the next day, please make sure you communicate this (in a timely manner/immediately) to the boat provider so that they know when to expect you to avoid cancellation of your reservation or being charged for a no-show. Our customer service can help you inform the boat provider if necessary. Tubber.com accepts no liability or responsibility for the consequences of your delayed arrival or any cancellations or no-show fees charged by the boat provider.

Tubber.com is not responsible for and disclaims any liability with regard to such complaints, claims, and (product) liabilities.

 

10.5 Regardless of whether or not the boat provider has charged you for your reservation or use of the boat, or whether we facilitate the payment of the price, you agree and acknowledge that the boat provider is at all times responsible for collecting, withholding, remitting, and paying the applicable taxes due on the total amount of the reservation to the relevant tax authorities. You are responsible for any local (tourist/port/city) taxes, port fees, and tolls.

15. Miscellaneous

15.1 The original Dutch version of these general terms and conditions may be translated into other languages.

The Dutch version is available on our website.

 

15.2 If there is a conflict between general and specific terms and conditions, the specific terms and conditions shall apply.

 

15.3 If any provision of these general terms and conditions is or becomes invalid, unenforceable, or non-binding, you shall remain bound by all other provisions.

15.5 The terms “rental,” “renter,” “rental,” or “rental provider” are used from time to time in these general terms and conditions, reservation confirmation, and any further communication (including in your interaction with the boat provider).
