We encourage all users to be responsible about their use of the Site and any transaction entered into in connection with any property listed on the Site. We do not own or manage, and cannot contract for, any property listed on the Site. The Site provides an on-line marketplace to allow property owners and affiliated parties who advertise on the site to offer for sale or rent a specific property to boat owners. We may also offer online booking tools or services to allow users to communicate with each other and enter into rental agreements, purchase agreements, or other transactions.
The Company is not a party to any rental, purchase, or other agreement between users. This is true even if the Site allows you to book a rental of a property or provides other ancillary products or services, as the Site may facilitate booking a rental or other tools, services, or products, but the Company is not a party to any rental, purchase, or other agreement between users. As a result, any part of an actual transaction between users, including without limitation, the quality, condition, safety, or legality of the properties advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings (including the content thereof or any review relating to any user or property), the ability of users to rent, purchase, or sell a property, or the ability of users to contract for properties are solely and exclusively the responsibility of each user. You acknowledge and agree that you may be required to enter into one or more separate agreements, waivers, or terms and conditions before booking, purchasing, or selling a property, product or service.
Users agree that they are responsible for, and agree to abide by, all laws, rules and regulations applicable to their use of the Site, their use of any tool, product, or service offered on the Site, and any transaction they enter into on the Site or in connection with their use of the Site.

Even though we are not a party to any transaction and assume no liability for legal or regulatory compliance pertaining to properties listed and products or services offered on this Site, there may be circumstances in which we are nevertheless legally obligated (as we may determine in our sole discretion) to provide information relating to your listing in order to comply with requests from governmental bodies in relation to investigations, litigation, or administrative proceedings, and we may choose to comply with such obligations in our sole discretion.
Users who accept credit card, banking or other payment information from other users agree to properly handle and safeguard all such information in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements and best practices.
Although most travel is completed without a serious incident, travel to some destinations may involve more risk than others.
