CONDITIONS OF BOOKING:
Booking must be accompanied by a deposit of 25% of the total charter fee.
In the event of cancellation by the customer this charge is non-returnable.
The balance of the charter fee must be paid four weeks before the start of
the charter. Bookings made less than four weeks before the start of the
charter must be accompanied by the full charge.

INSURANCE.
The insurance and maintenance of the vessels under charter is the sole
responsibility of each vessels owner and Topsail Charters accepts no
liability for loss or damage to persons or goods whilst boarding or on
board a vessel. Topsail Charters understands that each vessel
is fully insured and equipped with life-saving equipment as laid down
by the regulation. In all matters regarding the charter and safety of
the vessel, her passengers and her crew, the decision of the skipper
is final.

CANCELLATION BY THE CUSTOMER.
If the customer cancels his place on a charter the booking fee is
non-returnable. If the cancellation takes place less than four weeks
before the start of the charter, the customer is liable to pay the full
amount of the charter.

CANCELLATION BY TOPSAIL CHARTERS
The charters for individuals described in the programme are dependent
of a minimum number of customers booking places on them. In the event
of this minimum number not being achieved by two weeks before the start
of the charter, the charter will be cancelled and all monies returned
to the customers who have booked. Every effort will be made to carry
out cruises as described in the brochure but in case of adverse weather
conditions beyond the company's control, it may be necessary to change
or curtail the planned itinerary. If the company is able to give two or
more days notice of enforced cancellation, all monies will be refunded.
Wherever possible customers will be offered alternative dates and then
all monies will be carried across to the new charter date. If the
customer arrives for the start of the charter and in the Skipper's
opinion it is unsafe to depart, no refund will be given, but the barge,
her crew and all food will remain at the disposal of the passengers.
Topsail Charters can accept no liability for expense or compensation
arising from enforced cancellation.
