On boarding day, the lessee will provide the lessor with the deposit indicated in the specific rental conditions of each boat, which will respond to cancellations, breakdowns, breakages, damage, theft, delays in returning the boat, differences in the inventory and equipment, compensation, misuse, negligence and penalties of any kind agreed in this contract or that may arise as a consequence of non-compliance. All this without prejudice to the legal actions that were appropriate to claim those amounts that exceed the bail.

Returned the boat on the agreed date and time, performed the Check-Out in accordance and fulfilled by the lessee all the duties arising as a result of the agreement in this contract, the deposit will be returned to the lessee within an approximate period of 48 hours. In the event of discrepancies between the parties regarding the return conditions of the vessel and inventoried goods, the deposit will be returned at the end of the dispute that arises, if applicable.

7. Inventory

Prior to the delivery of the boat and within the public service hours, both parties, together, will proceed to the Check-In and corresponding inventory. Once done, the corresponding accreditation and compliance document will be signed. If the tenant refuses to sign the Check-In, point 3.- Cancellations due to personal causes will apply.

Carrying out the Check-In within the duration of this contract does not imply an extension of the term for the same time used in the joint review of the Check-In.
