Should this prove impossible, Locaboat Holidays will, without delay, refund all monies paid.

EMBARKATION
The boat will be placed at the disposal of the hirer after the following formalities have been fulfilled: payment of the guarantee-deposit, inventory of the equipment on board. The hirer may legitimately refuse the boat offered him if it does not correspond to that offered in the contractual document; if the equipment essential to the successful progress of the trip is not in a fit condition to function or if the state of cleanliness and orderliness of the boat is not in accordance with what he has a right to expect in regard to the fair and regular practice of the profession. The place of embarkation may be a different base in the event of close-clown, of flood or of any other occurrence which renders it impossible to embark from the place contractually agreed.

DISEMBARKATION
The boat must be returned to the place, on the date, and at the time established by contract, other than for unforseeable and unavoidable occurrence, outside the control of the hirer. The boat is returned to the hire-firm in the same condition as when it was placed in his care, the inventory of contents drawn up on departure serving as evidence, if necessary. The hire-firm reserves the right to have the hirer refund all expenses involved by a late return or the abandonment of the boat during the cruise.

BOAT DESCRIPTION
Plans and descriptions of the boats are standardised. There may however be minor regional variations.

USE OF THE BOAT BY THE HIRER
The hirer must conform to the rues of river navigation, and also to the instructions given by the hire-firm and by the river authorities. The client shall restrict his cruising to those waters permitted by the operator. He shall not sail after nightfall, nor shall he engage in towing, subhiring or lending the boat.

NON-NAVIGABILITY OF THE WATERWAY
ln the event of flood, low water level, restriction of the area (due to floods or drought), or of damage to the waterway, or of any other circumstances rendering navigation impossible or difficult, the hire-firm may, strictly in accordance with the constraints brought about by these circumstances, alter the places and dates of departure of the boat. If these same events render the trip impossible, the sums paid by the hirer may be placed towards payments of a subsequent trip, according to the availabilities of the hire- firm. These provisions apply when these same events occur during the trip and when the time of grounding is greater than forty-eight hours.

BREAKDOWNS
Assistance in the event of breakdown is included in the hire-charge, and the hire-firm undertakes to provide this as quickly as possible, fairly and within rules of its conduct of business.

BREAKDOWNS NOT ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE HIRER
If the grounding time due to breakdown exceeds a period of twenty-four hours, the hire-firm shall refund the hirer the sums paid by him, prorata of the unexpired hire-time. The duration of the grounding is deducted as from the time when the hirer notifies the hire-firm of the existence of the breakdown. The hirer shall refrain from any action of his own, not dictated by necessity or urgency.

BREAKDOWN ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE HIRER
If it is duly ascertained that the breakdown or immobilisation of the boat is attributable to the hirer, the latter has no right whatsoever to any indemnity for deprivation of enjoyment of the hire. The hire-firm may retain the amounts paid as guarantee-deposit in accordance with the expenses incurred in the repairs.

EQUIPMENT OF THE BOATS PERSONAL EFFECTS
The hirer undertakes to advise the hire-firm of any equipment lost, broken, stolen or damaged and may be held liable to refund it. The hire-firm is not responsible for loss or damage caused in any way whatsoever to effects belonging to the hirer.

PETS
Pets are welcome on board. However, a fixed sum of 26€ (inclusive of tax) shall be paid at the departure base, on the day of departure, to cover the additional expense of cleaning, regularly caused by the presence of an animal on the boat.

ONE-WAY TRIP-FROM ONE MOORING BASE TO THE OTHER
Even when accepted by the hire-firm, this service is never guaranteed due to the hazards which may affect its operation. The hire-firm may therefore, for legitimate reason and by means of a refund of the extra expense caused by a single run, impose a retum trip on any hirer who has wished to do the single trip. It is essential to contact the departure base 48 hours before embarkation, for confirmation
