3. Access and Use of the Platform
The Platform is currently made available to you for your personal, non-commercial use, free of charge.
We do not guarantee that access to the Platform, or any content on it, will always be available or be uninterrupted. We may suspend, withdraw, discontinue or change all or any part of the Platform without notice to you.
You must not misuse the Platform by knowingly introducing viruses, trojans, worms, logic bombs or any other material which is malicious or technologically harmful.

4. We do not sell boat rental services
The Platform is a boats search engine that provides users with comparisons for different offers for charter boats. Boatsandgo does not provide, own or control any of the charter boats services and products that you can access through our Platform (the “Boats Rental Services”). The Boats rental services are owned, controlled or made available by third parties (the “Charter Boats Providers”), either directly (e.g., a charter boats company) or through a facilitator of boat reservations (e.g., an online travel company). The Charter Boats Providers are responsible for the Boats Rental Services and all booking contracts, including for example the Boatsandgo contact form . The booking of a Boats Rental Service takes place solely on the platforms of the Charter Boats Provider. The Charter Boats Provider’s terms and privacy policies apply to your booking, so you must agree to, and understand those terms. Further, the terms of the boat that you want to rent, if different from the Charter Boats Provider, will also apply to your booking, so you must also agree to, and understand those terms. Your interaction with any Charter Boats Provider accessed through our Platform is at your own risk, and Boatsandgo does not have any responsibility should anything go wrong with your booking. Boatsandgo has no control over the Boats Rental Services or Charter Boats Providers. For more information about how Boatsandgo works, we recommend that you read our FAQs.
Boatsandgo hosts content, including prices, images and other information, made available by or obtained from Charter Boats Providers (“Provider Content”), as well as content provided by users, such as comments, ratings and other information (“User Content” and together with the Provider Content, the “Content”). Boatsandgo is in no way responsible or liable for the accuracy, quality, completeness, reliability, timeliness or trustworthiness of the Content, and Boatsandgo has no influence over the Content. In particular, we do not guarantee that Provider Content, in particular the prices reflected therein, will be updated in real time or that a particular Boats Rental Service will be available. As a result, the price displayed by a Charter Boats Provider may not correspond to that displayed on our Platform. Charter Boats ratings displayed on this Platform are intended as only general guidelines, and we do not guarantee the accuracy of the ratings or of any User Content.
5. Boatsandgo contact form
The “Boatsandgo Contact Form “service facilitates the booking of a Boats Rental Services with a Charter Boats Provider through our Platform. If you opt to use Boatsandgo Contact Form, the booking will be made with the Charter Boats Provider named on the booking page, and Boatsandgo will forward the booking information that you provide to the relevant Charter Boats Provider. When you make a booking through Boatsandgo Contact Form, our Platform acts as only a user interface, and you will only have a valid booking with a Charter Boats Provider if you receive written confirmation within two days from that Charter Boats Provider accepting your booking. The contract for the relevant booking will be made between you and the Charter Boats Provider. Boatsandgo has no responsibility for the booking or the Boats Rental Services because Boatsandgo has no involvement in creating the description of the Boats Rental Services, in defining the price and any fees, and in providing the Boats Rental Services that you book. If you have any issues or disputes around your booking and/or the Boats Rental Services, you agree to address and resolve these with the Charter Boats Provider and not with us.
