Website Terms and Conditions

This website is owned and operated by UMDC LTD a company incorporated in England whose registered address is 145-157 St John Street, EC1V 4PW, LONDON and whose company number is 07090597.

This is the user agreement that governs your use of this website and the provision of the services we provide you. Please take time to read these terms as it is important for both of us that you understand our contractual relationship both relating to your use of our website and the services we provide you.

1. Specific Terms relating to the charter of a boat

When we arrange for the charter of a boat, Exclusive Gulets act as a disclosed agent to the boat owner. Although in most cases we choose not to, we also reserve the right to act as an agent for third party suppliers, such as the charterer or charter operator. We also act as your agent and we are responsible to you for the proper performance of those agency services. These terms form the contractual basis of that agency service.

Although you don’t pay us (we get paid by receiving commission from our suppliers) the price you will pay will, in nearly all cases, be the same as if you went to the suppliers direct.

As we act as agent this will mean that we have no contractual liability to you in respect of that charter. If there is a problem with the boat or the boat charter then typically your contractual remedy will be against the supplier, not us. In most cases this will mean that there are additional terms and conditions governing the contract for the charter of a boat as each supplier will have bespoke terms and conditions relating to the charter of its boat.
You may request to see any such contracts before paying a deposit to us. However, we may still be liable to you if we have been in breach of our agency services agreement (these terms), have been negligent, we have misrepresented important information or have been in breach of any other relevant law.

To complete a transaction with one of our suppliers, you must first contact us or submit an Online Enquiry Form informing us of your boat and availability requirements. From then, one of our representatives will search for the right boat from our extensive list of suppliers and call you back with your options.

Please note, all queries are subject to availability and we cannot guarantee that all of your requirements will be met. How the transaction is then completed and the contract formally formed will be explained to you on the phone or email by a sales representative. This will include, without limit, whether a deposit or full payment is required to be paid and/or whether a written contract is required to be signed.

Where we request payments to be made up-front on booking we will immediately pass the money (less our commission) to the relevant supplier.

You accept financial responsibility for all transactions made under your name or account. Failure to supply the correct credit or debit card billing address information and/or cardholder details may result in delays to the completion of your charter reservation and risks losing the yacht charter agreement. Please ensure that the details you give match those on your credit card billing statement. We also reserve the right to cancel a booking after issue if payment is declined or incorrect cardholder details and billing information have been supplied. Further, in an effort to minimise the effects of credit card fraud, we reserve the right to carry out random checks, including checks of the electoral roll, and may request you to either fax or post to us proof of your address and a copy of the credit card and recent statement before issuing any documents.
Following our receipt of your payment, we will send you confirmation that we have received that payment.
Upon completion of a transaction we will send to you instructions to find the boat, invoice, confirmation of payment (if relevant) and any other instructions or documents we believe necessary.

When only an initial deposit is required to secure your booking, you agree to pay the balance of the Charter Fee to Exclusive Gulets not less than 30 days prior to the Commencement Date. If you fail to do so, Exclusive Gulets may treat the booking as cancelled and seek to charter the Yacht to another person. If the Yacht is not re - chartered for the whole of the charter period, then one half of the total Charter Fee will be payable by you. In all circumstances Exclusive Gulets will be entitled to keep the advanced payments.
In the event of you cancelling the booking more than 30 days prior to the commencement date, Exclusive Gulets will be entitled to keep the advanced payments or 40 % of the total charter fee -whichever is greater- and refund any balance to you. In the event of you cancelling the booking within 30 days prior to the commencement date the charter fees are not refundable. If Exclusive Gulets is able to re-charter the Yacht for all or part of the charter period, a proportion of the charter fee may be refunded at the discretion of Exclusive Gulets. If, by reason of - but not limited to - force majeure, mechanical breakdown or change of ownership, should the proposed yacht is not available on the commencement of the Charter Period, eXclusive Gulets is liable to offer an alternative vessel at similar standards. Should an alternative vessel is offered to a charterer for above mentioned reasons and the alternative vessel offered has a lower charter rate than the one initially proposed, eXclusive Gulets should refund the difference to the charterer before the commencement of the Charter Period.
When you make any special requests that go beyond the services listed on the website we will of course work with out suppliers to try to ensure that the special request is met. However, special requests cannot be guaranteed, and, unless any liability arises due to us not complying with this term, we cannot be liable if the special request is not met.
It is important that all the information you give us when you contact us or otherwise when you use the website, is correct. This includes, without limit, ensuring that we have your correct contact (including e-mail) details at all times. It is your responsibility to inform us of any changes by contacting us as soon as possible. We cannot be held liable for sending you travel documents or other relevant information where you have given us incorrect or redundant contact details.

In order to make a purchase you must be over 18 years old, be purchasing for yourself and have the legal capacity to make the transaction. You must ensure that before travelling you have suitable and adequate travel insurance arranged to cover the entire period of your holiday. It is your responsibility to ensure that you and all those travelling with you have a valid passport and any necessary visa and that you have obtained any necessary vaccinations to gain entry to any country you are visiting.
Please note, if you are British, you can get further information on this by accessing the Foreign Office website at www.FCO.gov.org.
All relevant travel documentation will be sent to you by e-mail in good time before the start of the charter period. Please make sure that upon your receipt of the travel documents, you check them carefully to make sure they accord with our agreement. If they do not, please contact us immediately to highlight your concern. It is your obligation to assist us to mitigate the potential loss caused by any errors by giving us adequate notice of any problem. We accept no liability for travel documentation not received.
