Terms & Conditions (T&Cs)

The following Terms & Conditions (T&Cs) apply to all services of Kelina Yachts (Kevin Benning) in connection with the brokerage of yacht charters.

1. Role of Kelina Yachts

Kelina Yachts acts solely as an intermediary (retail broker) between the client and the respective charter provider (central agent or owner). Kelina Yachts is not a contracting party to the charter agreement. The charter agreement is concluded exclusively between the client and the respective charter provider.

2. Contract basis

Each charter agreement is subject to the charter terms agreed with the provider, generally based on the MYBA Standard Charter Agreement. Kelina Yachts assumes no guarantee for the content, fulfilment, or performance of the charter agreement.

3. Services of Kelina Yachts

Kelina Yachts’ services are limited to advising the client, selecting suitable charter offers, and brokering the charter agreement. Kelina Yachts is not responsible for the actual performance (e.g., condition of the yacht, crew, itinerary).

4. Remuneration / commission

Kelina Yachts is remunerated solely by commissions from charter providers (central agents) in line with internationally customary market standards (e.g., 80/20 split). The client does not owe any separate fee to Kelina Yachts.

5. Offers and availability

All offers are subject to change and non-binding. Availability, prices and conditions are subject to final confirmation by the respective charter provider. There is no entitlement to the conclusion of a charter agreement.

6. Cancellations, rebookings and changes

The cancellation, rebooking and amendment terms of the respective charter agreement apply (usually according to MYBA conditions). Any refunds, compensation or adjustments are the sole responsibility of the charter provider. Kelina Yachts is not obliged to accept or refund payments.

7. Payment processing

Payments for the charter agreement are made exclusively to the charter provider (central agent) in accordance with the contractual terms. Kelina Yachts does not accept payments on behalf of the client.

Kelina Yachts is not liable for events of force majeure (e.g., natural events, official measures, strikes, pandemics) that impair the brokerage service or make the performance of the charter agreement impossible or delayed.

9. Liability

Kelina Yachts is liable under statutory provisions only for intent and gross negligence. Liability for simple negligence is excluded unless it concerns damage resulting from injury to life, body or health. Kelina Yachts is not liable for breaches of duty by the charter provider or other third parties.

10. Language / contract texts

The charter agreement is generally concluded in English (MYBA). The English contract version is authoritative. Any translations are for information purposes only.
