If the reserved boat cannot be supplied because of a breakdown, technical issue or circumstances outside its control, Royal Dolphin (operated by ZEN NAUTIQUE) may provide an equivalent or superior boat, or cancel the rental and refund the sums received without additional compensation. The contract may also be terminated when weather conditions are dangerous.

Any accident or breakdown must be reported immediately. The customer must not attempt repairs without authorisation. No refund is due for an interruption caused by misuse or negligence.
