pick-up and drop off the “Boat.”

B) Covenants, Rights, and Duties.

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Rental Agreement and for other good and valuable

consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, OWNER and RENTER agree as follows:

RENTER’S RIGHTS AND DUTIES.


4. RENTER Details. RENTER maintains a duty to provide accurate information in this Agreement, specifically within the “RENTER DETAILS”

and “List of Passengers.” If any of the information provided is inaccurate, this Agreement is subject to immediate cancellation and a loss of all

funds.

5. Duty to Inspect. RENTER maintains an ongoing duty to inspect the condition of the “Boat,” any Inventory and/or Equipment, the

information contained in this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement, and any and all life safety equipment provided.

6. Duty to Report. RENTER must report any health restrictions that would prevent RENTER or any “Passenger” from safely operating the

“Boat” or participating in any water activities, prior to the “Point of Takeover.” RENTER shall have a duty to promptly, no later than 24-hours,

but in some circumstances sooner, provide OWNER with Notice of any claimed defect, damage, missing items, or the like. Failure to Inspect

and/or report will result in a waiver of all rights, claims, and defenses by RENTER.

7. Duty to Maintain. From the “Point of Takeover” to the “Point of Return,” RENTER will, at RENTER’s sole expense, and at all times, maintain

the “Boat” in a clean and sanitary manner including all equipment, Inventory, and other items on the “Boat” in as good a condition as received,

normal wear and tear excepted.

8. Use of Boat. From “Point of Takeover” to the “Point of Return,” RENTER must follow all “Rules and Regulations ...” below.

9. Insurance. RENTER is encouraged to purchase separate travel insurance and other personal liability insurance to cover any loss related to

their “Boat” rental, including theft, injury, property damages, weather damages, government closures, pandemics, and any other loss related

to this Agreement. There is no guarantee that any insurance purchased by OWNER will cover a specific loss. If RENTER chooses to proceed

without insurance and OWNER either has no insurance, has inadequate insurance, or simply chooses not to report the claim to insurance in its

discretion, or OWNER’s insurance will not cover the specified event, then all payments and liability shall fall on the RENTER. RENTER is not

obligated to pay for any insurance provided by OWNER, however, in the event a claim is made for any incident that occurs during the Rental

“Duration,” RENTER shall be responsible for any deductible and that deductible may be paid by the “Damage Deposit.” In any event, theft is

the sole responsibility of the RENTER.

“Damage Deposits.” Refunds may be issued as follows: (a) Standard Reservations may be cancelled by RENTER up to thirty (30) days before

the start of the Rental “Duration.” (b) Cancellations on or after the start of the Rental “Duration” will be charged the “Total Price” and no refund

will be provided. No refunds for early return of the “Boat” by the RENTER, whatever the reason.

Bad weather is a recognized force majeure below but does not release RENTER from his/her obligation to make a full rent payment. OWNER

may delay release of the “Boat” due to inclement weather, but RENTER must still pay for those missed days. Bad weather days attach to the

Rental “Duration.” RENTER can anticipate that the “Boat” will not be usable during the entire Rental due to inclement weather and RENTER

agrees to assume that risk of loss.

RULES AND REGULATIONS REGARDING USE OF BOAT.


The following rules are mandatory and material obligations. If RENTER fails to follow any of the rules below, RENTER waives any and all rights

under this Agreement, specifically including the right to claim insurance coverage, the right to recover the “Damage Deposit,” and the right to

bring suit against OWNER for any remotely related loss.


1. Purpose of Use. The “Boat” must be used exclusively as a short-term rental for recreational use and for no other reason. RENTER shall

use the equipment in a good and careful manner and will comply with all of OWNER’s requirements and recommendations. RENTER will use

the equipment for the purpose for which it was designed and not for any other reason.


2. Docking and Storage. RENTER is solely responsible for proper docking and storage during the Rental “Duration.” Boats rented to a house

directly on the river must have a “Boat” lift able to lift the rented “Boat” out of the water. Before booking, RENTER must ensure access to a

boat lift, trailer, or dry dock to store the “Boat.” If at any time, RENTER cannot show proper boat-storage capabilities, for any reason, OWNER

may cancel the reservation without notice or refund.


3. Fixtures. Unless RENTER obtains the prior written consent from OWNER, RENTER shall not attach anything to the “Boat” unless the

alteration, modification or attachment is easily removable without damaging the functional capabilities or economic value of the equipment.

OWNER reserves the right to retain and improper attachment.

4. Hours of Operation. With regard to multi-day rentals, operation of the vessel is only permitted between sunrise and sunset. Day-rentals

are from 8:30am to 4:30pm and our long-term rental hours are from 8:30am on the first day to 4:30pm on the last day.

5. Fuel. Only use Non-Ethanol fuel from a marine gas station or a hold may be placed on the “Damage Deposit.” If the “Boat” is not returned

with the same fuel level as recorded, the missing fuel amount will be charged from the “Damage Deposit” at a flat rate of $12 per gallon to

cover any fuel shortage and labor.

6. Inclement weather. RENTER’s accept full liability if boating during a “Small Craft Advisory” or when operation is not advised.

7. Shallow Waters. Operation of our vessels in waves greater than 3 feet or depths less than 2 feet, is considered irresponsible and negligent

and therefore is RENTER’s responsibility for all catastrophic damages that may occur.

8. Markers and Map. RENTER shall stay within the markers at all times. Boating in the Matlacha Pass is expressly prohibited. Unless OWNER

gives written permission otherwise, RENTER must keep the “Boat” within the zones marked on the map provided by OWNER. Failure to follow

this provision may result in immediate termination of this Agreement and cancellation without refund.

9. Capacity. The maximum number of people occupying the “Boat” is 8 to 15 depending which “Boat” has been reserved.

the age of twenty-five (25) and/or anyone not listed as RENTER or approved operator in this Agreement to operate the “Boat,” RENTER will

forfeit the “Damage Deposit” and be liable for any other legal repercussions. To operate a motorboat of 10 horsepower or greater, Florida law

requires anyone who was born on or after Jan. 1, 1988, to successfully complete an approved boater safety course and obtain a Boating Safety

Education Identification Card issued by the Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission. A boat rental will be denied without refund if a proper license

cannot be shown.

Exemptions include: (a) A person licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard to serve as master of a vessel. (b) A nonresident who has in his or her

possession proof that he or she has completed a NASBLA - approved boater safety course or equivalency examination from another state.

are permitted without exception. RENTER must clean up after the Service Animal, keep the Service Animal on a leash at all times, shall not

allow the Service Animal on any of the upholstery, and assumes all responsibility and liability for the Service Animal. If RENTER commits any

fraud regarding a Service Animal or allows a Pet to board the “Boat,” OWNER may immediately terminate this Agreement without refund.

12. Consumption of Alcohol and Other Intoxicants. The boating laws of the state of Florida require that the person operating a boat should

not be under the influence of intoxicants. The legal limit of the blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.08% and if arrested for a higher BAC, harsh

penalties may be imposed on the operator, based on the severity of the offense as well as the previous number of such convictions. The “Boat”

must be surrendered to OWNER following the arrest or detainment of any RENTER who is found to be under the influence.

RENTER agrees that RENTER, and/or any invitee, or licensee of RENTER will not use or possess any illegal substance(s) on the “Boat.”

RENTER agrees that OWNER may remove or cause to be removed from the “Boat” any RENTER, invitee, or licensee of RENTER who, while

using the “Boat,” illegally possesses or uses any illegal substances, violates any terms of this Agreement, is intoxicated, profane, lewd, or

brawling. Blue Coral Boat Rental LLC shall not be liable for any costs or damages that result from a RENTER’s intoxication and/or if RENTER

is found under the influence of a substance. RENTER shall indemnify and hold OWNER harmless for any loss related to this Agreement that

occurred on the same day or prior to the day RENTER is or is discovered to be under the influence. This includes civil, criminal, and administrative

liability, as well as any additional towing or impound expenses incurred, or the like. It shall be presumed that all loss and damage up to the

discovery were caused by RENTER’s lack of sobriety.

indemnify and hold harmless shall also encompass any such loss, damage, or injury to “Passengers” and/or all third Parties during the “Duration” of the rental, including but not limited to: boating related injuries and the risks inherent in the use and rental of watercraft, bad weather, personal injury, disease from marine life or exposure to the elements, third-party negligence (including products liability), theft, terrorism, and/or other intentional activity. The term, “third-party” specifically includes but is not limited to any guests and “Passengers” of the “Boat,” whether or not intended as such by RENTER, and any service providers, such as gas station employees. RENTER’s indemnification will include attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by OWNER for enforcing any provision under this Agreement. OWNER does not provide

insurance on RENTER’s, invitees’, or licensees’ personal property. This indemnification provision shall also apply to OWNER’s insurance company, if applicable, so that RENTER must indemnify and hold OWNER’s insurance company harmless just the same as OWNER. CHOICE

OF LAW AND FORUM SELECTION. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to the jurisdiction in which any action or special proceeding may be instituted. Any action arising under the terms of this

Agreement, including, without limitation, any action to enforce this Agreement, will be filed in the Twentieth Judicial Circuit, within Lee County, Florida. The Parties hereby expressly consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the Twentieth Judicial Circuit, within Lee County, Florida.


REMEDIES. RENTER agrees to refrain from submitting any chargeback claims. OWNER has the right to charge RENTER’s card for the agreed-to “RENTAL RATES” under Section 2. including any all deposits. RENTER’s exclusive remedy is to file a legal action in the Twentieth Judicial


Circuit, within Lee County, Florida. In the event RENTER does submit a chargeback, RENTER shall pay all of OWNER’S legal fees incurred in

disputing the Chargeback, and RENTER shall owe an additional fee of $500 for OWNER’S time, energy, and lack of funds on account.

ATTORNEY FEES. The prevailing party in any litigation arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to reasonable

attorney fees and costs arising out of any prelitigation, mediation, card chargeback, arbitration, litigation, or the like.
