In order to access certain features of the Services, and to book a Boat or create a Listing, you must register to create an account (“Boatbound Account") and become a Member. You may register to join the Services directly via the Services or as described in this section.
You can also register to join by logging into your account with certain third party social networking sites (“ TPA") (including, but not limited to, Facebook); each such account, a “Third Party Account", via our Services, as described below. As part of the functionality of the Services, you may link your Boatbound Account with Third Party Accounts, by either: (i) providing your Third Party Account login information to Boatbound through the Services; or (ii) allowing Boatbound to access your Third Party Account, as is permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third Party Account.

Unless otherwise specified in these Terms, all TPA Content, if any, will be considered to be Member Content for all purposes of these Terms. Depending on the Third Party Accounts you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third Party Accounts, personally identifiable information that you post to your Third Party Accounts will be available on and through your Boatbound Account on the Site, Services and Application. Please note that if a Third Party Account or associated service becomes unavailable or Boatbound's access to such Third Party Account is terminated by the third party service provider, then TPA Content will no longer be available on and through the Site, Services and Application. You have the ability to disable the connection between your Boatbound Account and your Third Party Accounts, at any time, by accessing the “Account" section of the Site and Application.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR THIRD PARTY ACCOUNTS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS.
Boatbound makes no effort to review any TPA Content for any purpose, including but not limited to, for accuracy, legality or non-infringement and Boatbound is not responsible for any TPA Content.
We will create your Boatbound Account and your Boatbound Account profile page for your use of the Services based upon the personal information you provide to us or that we obtain via an TPA as described above. You may not have more than one (1) active Boatbound Account. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current and complete. Boatbound reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Boatbound Account and your access to the Services if you create more than one (1) Boatbound Account or if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, not current or incomplete. You are responsible for safeguarding your password. You agree that you will not disclose your password to any third party and that you will take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your Boatbound Account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. You will immediately notify Boatbound of any unauthorized use of your Boatbound Account.
As a Member, you may create Listings. To this end, you will be asked a variety of questions about the Boat to be listed, including, but not limited to, the value, location, size, features, availability of the Boat, pricing, related rules, and financial terms. You acknowledge and agree that Listings will be made publicly available via the Services. Other Members will be able to book your Boat via the Services based upon the information provided in your Listing. You understand and agree that once a Renter requests a booking of your Boat, the price for such booking may not be altered without contacting customer service.
You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for any and all Listings you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Listing you post and the booking of, or Renter use of, a Boat in a Listing you post (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws, Tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Boat included in a Listing you post, including, but not limited to, insurance requirements, coast guard regulations, zoning laws, marina regulations, and laws governing rentals and operation of Boats and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties. Please note that Boatbound assumes no responsibility for an Owner's compliance with any applicable laws, rules and regulations. Boatbound reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Listing for any reason, including Listings that Boatbound, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms or otherwise harmful to the Services.
You understand and agree that Boatbound does not act as an insurer or as a contracting agent for you as an Owner. If a Renter requests a booking of your Boat and uses your Boat, any agreement you enter into with such Renter is between you and the Renter and Boatbound is not a party thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Boatbound serves as the limited authorized agent of the Owner for the purpose of accepting payments from Renters on behalf of the Owner and is responsible for transmitting such payments to the Owner.
When you create a Listing, you may also choose to include certain requirements which must be met by the Members who are eligible to request a booking of your Boat, including, but not limited to, requiring Members to have a profile picture or verified phone number, in order to book your Boat. Any Member wishing to book Boats included in Listings with such requirements must meet these requirements; however, as noted below, we do not attempt to confirm or verify such information. More information on how to set such requirements is available via the “ Owners" section of the Services.
If you are an Owner, Boatbound makes certain tools available to you to help you to make informed decisions about which Members you choose to confirm for booking for your Boat. You acknowledge and agree that, as an Owner, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions.
Boatbound does not endorse any Members or any Boats. In addition, although these Terms require Members to provide accurate information, we do not attempt to confirm, and do not confirm, any Member's purported identity or other information provided by such Member. You are responsible for determining the identity and suitability of others who you contact via the Services. Except as provided by the Boatbound Terms and Conditions, we will not be responsible for any damage or harm resulting from your interactions with other Members.
By using the Services, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other Members or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Members or other third parties who caused you harm and you agree not to attempt to impose liability on, or seek any legal remedy from Boatbound with respect to such actions or omissions. Accordingly, we encourage you to communicate directly with other Members on the Services regarding any bookings or Listings made by you. This limitation shall not apply to any claim by an Owner against Boatbound regarding the remittance of payments received from a Renter by Boatbound on behalf of an Owner, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled “ Limitation of Liability".
If you are an Owner and a booking is requested for your Boat via the Services, you may be required to either confirm or reject the booking within 24 hours of when the booking is requested (as determined by Boatbound in its sole discretion) or the booking request may be automatically canceled. When a booking is requested via the Services, we will share with you (i) the first and last name of the Renter who has requested the booking, and, (ii) a link to the Renter's Boatbound Account profile page,so that you can view such information before confirming or rejecting the booking. If you are unable to confirm or decide to reject a booking of a Boat within such 24 hour period, any amounts collected by Boatbound for the requested booking may be refunded to the applicable Renter's credit card and any pre-authorization of such credit card will be released. When you confirm a booking requested by a Renter, Boatbound will send you an email, text message or message via the Services confirming such booking, depending on the selections you make via the Services.
The fees displayed in each Listing are comprised of the Boat Fees (defined below) and the Renter Fees (defined below.) Where applicable, Taxes may be charged in addition to the Boat Fees and Renter Fees. The Boat Fees, the Renter Fees and applicable Taxes are collectively referred to in these Terms as the “ Total Fees". The amounts due and payable by a Renter solely relating to an Owner's Boat which are actually collected by Boatbound are the “Boat Fees". Please note that it is the Owner and not Boatbound which determines the Boat Fees. The Boat Fees may include cleaning fees, pre-paid fuel charges, at the Owner's discretion.
Boatbound charges a fee to Renters based upon a percentage of applicable Boat Fees which are the “ Service Fees". The Service Fees are added to the Boat Fees to calculate the Total Fees (which will also include applicable Taxes) displayed in the applicable Listing. Boatbound will collect the Total Fees at the time of booking confirmation (i.e. when the Owner confirms the booking within 24 hours of the booking request) and will initiate payment of the Boat Fees (less Boatbound's Service Fees as defined in the Fees Policy http://boatbound.co/fees) to the Owner two business days after of when the Renter arrives at the applicable Boat (except to the extent that a refund is due to the Renter). Failure to charge any of the fees or other indulgences shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event another fee should become due at any other time.
The minimum age to book varies by type of rental (Charter, Captain, or Bareboat). For all boats that are not covered by the Peer-to-Peer Boat Rental Insurance Policy through BoatUS (and have their own policy), the minimum age is 18. For non-captain (bareboat) boats that are insured through Boatbound during the rental, the minimum age is 25 and each renter must pass a renter verification. For boats that are operated by licensed captains that are insured through Boatbound during the rental, the minimum age is 18.
Each Owner hereby appoints Boatbound as the Owner's limited agent solely for the purpose of collecting payments made by Renters on behalf of the Owner. Each Owner agrees that payment of Boat fees made by a Renter to Boatbound shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to the Owner and the Owner will make the Boat available to Renter in the agreed upon manner as if the Owner has received the Boat Fees. Each Owner agrees that Boatbound may, in accordance with the cancellation policy selected by the Owner and reflected in the relevant Listing, (i) permit the Renter to cancel the booking and (ii) refund to the Renter that portion of the Boat Fees specified in the applicable cancellation policy. In accepting appointment as the limited authorized agent of the Owner, Boatbound assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of the Owner.
Please note that Boatbound does not currently charge fees for the creation of Listings. However, you acknowledge and agree that Boatbound reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to charge you for and collect fees from you for the creation of Listings, or for other features of the Services. Please note that Boatbound will provide notice of any such additional fees via the Services, prior to implementing such fees.
The Owners, not Boatbound, are solely responsible for honoring any confirmed bookings and making available any Boats reserved through the Services. If you, as a Renter, choose to enter into a transaction with an Owner for the booking of a Boat, you agree and understand that you will be required to enter into an agreement with the Owner and you agree to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with such Boat imposed by the Owner. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not Boatbound, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any such agreements, that Boatbound is not a party to such agreements, and that, with the exception of its obligations hereunder to pay Boat Fees to the applicable Owner, Boatbound disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements. You acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the fact that Boatbound is not a party to the agreement between you and the Owner, Boatbound acts as the Owner's payment agent for the limited purpose of accepting payments from you on behalf of the Owner. Upon your payment of amounts to Boatbound which are due to the Owner, your payment obligation to the Owner for such amounts is extinguished, and Boatbound is responsible for remitting such amounts, less Boatbound's Owner Fees, to the Owner. In the event that Boatbound does not remit any such amounts to an Owner, such Owner will have recourse for such amounts only against Boatbound.
Listings for Boats will specify the Total Fees. As noted above, the Owner is required to either confirm or reject the booking within 24 hours of when the booking is requested (as determined by Boatbound in its sole discretion) or the requested booking may be automatically canceled. If a requested booking is canceled (i.e. not confirmed by the applicable Owner), any amounts collected by Boatbound will be refunded to such Renter, depending on the selections the Renter makes via the Services, and any pre-authorization of such Renter's credit card will be released, if applicable.
You agree to pay Boatbound for the Total Fees for any booking requested in connection with your Boatbound Account if such requested bookings are confirmed by the applicable Owner. In order to establish a booking pending the applicable Owner's confirmation of your requested booking, you understand and agree that Boatbound, on behalf of the Owner, reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) obtain a pre-authorization via your credit card for the Total Fees or (ii) charge your credit card a nominal amount, not to exceed one dollar ($1) to verify your credit card. Once Boatbound receives confirmation of your booking from the applicable Owner, Boatbound will collect the Total Fees in accordance with these Terms and the pricing terms set forth in the applicable Listing. Please note that Boatbound cannot control any fees that may be charged to a Renter by his or her bank related to Boatbound's collection of the Total Fees, and Boatbound disclaims all liability in this regard.
In connection with your requested booking, you will be asked to provide customary billing information such as name, billing address and credit card information either to Boatbound or its third party payment processor. You agree to pay Boatbound for any confirmed bookings made in connection with your Boatbound Account in accordance with these Terms by one of the methods described on the Site or Application – e.g. by PayPal or credit card. You hereby authorize the collection of such amounts by charging the credit card provided as part of requesting the booking, either directly by Boatbound or indirectly, via a third party online payment processor or by one of the payment methods described on the Services. You also authorize Boatbound to charge your credit card in the event of damage caused on a Boat as contemplated under “ Damage to Boats" below and for Security Deposits (as defined below), if applicable. If you are directed to Boatbound's third party payment processor, you may be subject to terms and conditions governing use of that third party's service and that third party's personal information collection practices. Please review such terms and conditions and privacy policy before using the services. Once your confirmed booking transaction is complete you will receive a confirmation email summarizing your confirmed booking.
Payment processing services for users on Boatbound are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the "Stripe Services Agreement"). By agreeing to these terms or continuing to use Boatbound's website or services, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of Boatbound enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide Boatbound accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize Boatbound to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.
Boatbound includes a security deposits in every Listing (“ Security Deposits"). For all Security Deposits included in a Listing for a confirmed booking of Boat, Boatbound will, in its capacity as the payment agent of the Owner, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a pre-authorization of the Renter's credit card in the amount the Owner determines for the Security Deposit within a reasonable time prior to the Renter's check-in at the applicable Owner's Boat. Boatbound will also use its commercially reasonable efforts to address Owners' requests and claims related to Security Deposits, but Boatbound is not responsible for administering or accepting any claims by Owners related to Security Deposits, and disclaims any and all liability in this regard.
In consideration for providing the Services, Boatbound collects service fees from Owners and Renters (“ Service Fees"). Service Fees are made up of two (2) components: (i) Renter Service Fees and (ii) an Owner Service Fee that is charged to the Owner based upon a percentage of the amount of the Boat Fees (“Owner Fees"). Where applicable, Taxes may also be charged in addition to the Owner Fees. Owner Fees are deducted from the Boat Fees before remitting the Boat Fees to the Owner, within 24 hours of when the Renter arrives at the applicable Boat. Renter Fees are, as noted above, included in the Total Fees.
Balances will be remitted by Boatbound to Owners direct deposit or other payment methods described on the Services, in the US dollars. More information on Services Fees can be found at http://www.boatbound.com/fees. Except as otherwise provided herein, Service Fees are non-refundable.

You may only redeem Boatbound Boating Credits after the Boatbound Boating Credits are reflected in your Boatbound Account. The scope, variety, and type of services and products that you may obtain by redeeming Boatbound Boating Credits can change at any time.
Boatbound Boating Credits expire one (1) year from the date that any Boatbound Boating Credits are last accrued in your Boatbound Account.

This incentive program is for a limited time only. The requirements and incentives are subject to change. We reserve the right to suspend your account and remove referrals should we notice any activity we determine as abuse of the referral program.
As a Renter, you are responsible for leaving the Boat in the condition it was in when you arrived. You acknowledge and agree that, as a Renter, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals who you invite to, or otherwise provide access to the Boat. In the event that a Boat Owner claims otherwise and provides evidence of damage, including but not limited to, photographs, you agree to pay the cost of replacing the damaged items with equivalent items. After being notified of the claim and given forty eight (48) hours to respond, the payment will be charged to and taken from the credit card on file in your Boatbound Account. Boatbound also reserves the right to charge the credit card on file in your Boatbound Account, or otherwise collect payment from you and pursue any avenues available to Boatbound in this regard, including using Security Deposits, in situations in which you have been determined, in Boatbound's sole discretion, to have damaged the Boat, including, but not limited to, in relation to any payment requests made by Boat Owner, and in relation to any payments made by Boatbound to Boat Owners. If we are unable to charge the credit card on file or otherwise collect payment from you, you agree to remit payment for any damage to the Boat to the applicable Boat Owner or to Boatbound (if applicable).
Both Renter and Boat Owner agree to cooperate with and assist Boatbound in good faith, and to provide Boatbound with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Boatbound, in connection with any complaints or claims made by Members relating to Boats or any personal or other property located at a Boat or with respect to any investigation undertaken by Boatbound or a representative of Boatbound regarding use or abuse of the Site, Application or the Services.

If, as a Renter, you cancel your requested booking before the requested booking is confirmed by an Owner, Boatbound will cancel any pre-authorization to your credit card and/or refund any nominal amounts charged to your credit card in connection with the requested booking within a commercially reasonable time. If, as a Renter, you wish to cancel a confirmed booking made via the Services, either prior to or after arriving at the Boat, the cancellation policy of the Owner contained in the applicable Listing will apply to such cancellation. Our ability to refund the Boat Fees and other amounts charged to you will depend upon the terms of the applicable cancellation policy. Details regarding refunds and cancellation policies are available via the Services.
If an Owner cancels a confirmed booking made via the Services, (i) Boatbound will refund the Total Fees for such booking to the applicable Renter within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation and (ii) the Renter may receive an email or other communication from Boatbound containing alternative Listings and other related information. If the Renter requests a booking from one of the alternative Listings and the Owner associated with such alternative Listing confirms the Renter's requested booking, then the Renter agrees to pay Boatbound the Total Fees relating to the confirmed booking for the Boat in the alternative Listing, in accordance with these Terms. If an Owner canceled a confirmed booking and you, as a Renter, have not received an email or other communication from Boatbound, please contact our support team via a support ticket.

These Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California and the United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. You and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in San Francisco County, San Francisco, California or a United States District Court, Northern District of California located in San Francisco, California for any actions for which the parties retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights, as set forth in the Dispute Resolution provision below.
You and Boatbound agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or to the use of the Services (collectively, “ Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND BOATBOUND ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Boatbound otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution" section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution" section will survive any termination of these Terms.
Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA") in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution" section. (The AAA Rules are available at http://www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at http://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_004175 and a separate form for California residents at http://adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_004314.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless you and Boatbound otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Boatbound submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
Arbitrator's Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator's decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator's award damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability" section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. Boatbound will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.
Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, Boatbound will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the “Modification" section above, if Boatbound changes this “Dispute Resolution" section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (via a support ticket within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated Date" above or in the date of Boatbound's email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Boatbound in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution" section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
The failure of Boatbound to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Boatbound. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. If for any reason an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
