General
Yildiz Yachting (hereinafter referred to as the charter
company), is liable to provide the charter yacht at the agreed
location on the agreed date in a sail-ready condition for the

the previous charter, the charter company cannot provide the right
vessel at the location, the company must provide the charterer with
a yacht of similar length and number of berths for charter, or
refund the charter fees to the charterer in full. In this case the
charterer does not need to make a claim for compensation. The amount
of the refund is calculated on a daily basis.
