I. DISCLOSURES
A. Who We Are
Yacht.com operates this website to list yachts available for charter. We are committed to helping individuals find reputable yacht charter brokers and central agencies. Yacht.com itself does not offer yacht management, brokerage, or direct charter services.
All content provided on Yacht.com is informational and intended solely to assist you in exploring yacht charter options. This content does not constitute binding advice, guarantee pricing, or provide specific recommendations for your individual charter needs. Using this website or its content does not create any special relationship, brokerage relationship, or contractual agreement with Yacht.com.
Additionally, Yacht.com does not provide financial advice or insurance services. You are responsible for verifying all costs, terms, and conditions associated with any yacht charters arranged through brokers or agencies listed on our site. If you plan to use insurance for your yacht charter, please confirm acceptance and details directly with your insurance provider.
B. Who Listed Providers Are
Yacht.com aims to list yacht charter providers available in specific geographic locations, using publicly available information and other data sources. To provide a comprehensive range of options, we do not evaluate or endorse these providers, nor do we guarantee the accuracy of listing information or other website content. You should use the information on Yacht.com as a starting point for further research.
Charter providers do not opt-in to our listings but may choose to claim and modify their listings free of charge. Some providers pay Yacht.com for additional advertising services, including (1) displaying banner ads, (2) prioritizing their listings, (3) accessing user information, (4) placing direct contact information on listings, and (5) receiving routed booking calls from users.
Yacht.com does not recommend specific charter providers. Our goal is to present information enabling you to choose the most suitable provider. Yacht.com may list paid providers more prominently and may display paid advertisements.
We may share your contact information with providers who pay for these leads, using a rotation or similar method. Calls to Yacht.com’s booking line are routed similarly to providers who have paid for this service. Yacht.com does not direct users toward any specific provider based on suitability.
We encourage you to consider multiple providers to find the best fit for your charter needs.
Yacht.com does not own nor is owned by any listed charter providers. Our relationship with providers is strictly limited to advertising services. Providers may request removal from our listings, which we honor.

D. External Links
The Website may provide links to other websites (whether for yachting or general travel service providers or otherwise) and online resources. Yacht.com also may select certain sites as priority responses to search terms you enter and Yacht.com may agree to allow advertisers to respond to certain search terms with advertisements or advertising-supported content. If you decide to access any of the third-party websites linked to Yacht.com, you do so entirely at your own risk and subject to the terms and conditions of use for such websites. Yacht.com does not recommend and does not endorse the content on any third-party websites. Because we have no control over such sites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that Yacht.com is not responsible for the availability of such external sites or resources, and that Yacht.com neither endorses nor is responsible or liable for any content, advertising, claims (including certifications, licenses, insurance coverage and/or qualifications claimed), products or other materials on or available through such sites or resources. Additionally, other websites may provide links to the Website with or without our authorization.
You specifically acknowledge and agree that Yacht.com does not claim any responsibility or liability for any acts resulting from your use of third-party websites. Additionally, other websites may provide links to the Website with or without our authorization. You acknowledge and agree that Yacht.com is not and shall not be responsible or liable for any links from those sites to the Website, or any expenses, losses, harm or damages (financial, physical/mental or otherwise) incurred in connection therewith.
E. Connections to Providers
When you provide information to Yacht.com in a fillable form, whether or not the information relates to you or to another person, you direct Yacht.com to disclose information about you (or the other person about whom you provide information) to one or more Providers of yacht charters or other general travel services, or to otherwise interact with one or more Providers of yacht charters or other general travel services.
In response to this direction, Yacht.com may elect to provide information about you to one or more providers of yacht charters or other general travel services in exchange for payment from that provider or those providers. One or more providers of yacht charters or other general travel services may contact you. No such provider is an agent of Yacht.com. That Yacht.com may elect to do this does not obligate Yacht.com to connect you with any provider of yacht charters or other general travel services. Yacht.com makes no representation about the suitability of any provider of yacht charters or other general travel services. You agree that Yacht.com bears no responsibility for the nature or quality of services offered or rendered by any provider of yacht charters or other general travel services. Nor is Yacht.com responsible for any fees you may incur should you choose to receive services from a provider of yacht charters or other general travel services in connection with your use of the Website.
In your continued access and use of Yacht.com given the disclosures above, you represent that you have read the disclosures above, and you agree that the information they contain is acceptable to you and forms part of your agreement with Yacht.com.
F. Accuracy of Information on the Website
Yacht.com aims to provide users with information to use as a starting point in researching providers of substance use disorder. You acknowledge that information on the Website—whether contained in Yacht.com-authored articles, listings describing particular providers, or in reviews—and information linked from the Website may not be accurate or complete.
Reviews and star ratings of Service Providers are based on information obtained by or submitted to Yacht.com by third parties and intended to be a starting point to gather information about Service Providers who may be suitable for a particular need. Assessments may vary by individual needs and experiences. A review or star rating is neither an endorsement of any particular Service Provider nor a guarantee of a Service Provider’s quality, safety or results. Further, a review or star rating should not be considered a predictor of the outcome of any services provided by such Service Provider. As such, users should not rely solely on a review or star rating in deciding whether to contact or engage any given Service Provider.

M. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any principles that may provide the application of the law of another jurisdiction.
N. Arbitration
Any controversy or claim between you and Yacht.com or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, or assigns arising out of or relating to this Agreement, your use of the Website, or your communication with or transactions with a provider of substance use disorder listed on the Website, shall be settled by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules.

The arbitration shall be conducted in Delaware and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof.

If we fail to act with respect to your breach or anyone else’s breach on any occasion, we are not waiving our right to act with respect to future or similar breaches. If a court finds any term of this Agreement to be unenforceable or invalid, that term will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and all other Terms will remain valid and enforceable. These Terms, together with those agreements made a part of these Terms by reference, make up the entire agreement between us relating to your use of the Website. You acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms, and that these Terms have the same force and effect as a signed agreement.
