Our Mission
The goal is to enhance the safety and reliability of the watersports experience for both customers and companies through a standardized charter contract. This contract includes:
- Checked and reliable terms and conditions for chartering boats, provided by YP
- Distribution to all EBI members through EBI’s network
The standardized contract ensures fairness for both parties involved. While the core clauses cannot be altered, charter companies can add necessary clauses in a separate document. Importantly, these additional clauses cannot override the standard clauses.
Process and Management
Only vetted and trusted companies should use this contract to maintain high standards and avoid customer issues. YP will manage a whitelist of trustworthy companies. Companies not initially on the whitelist can be evaluated and potentially added with guarantees.
- Application: Companies apply via application form
- Evaluation: YP evaluates the company. If the company is on a blacklist, it is informed that the terms and conditions cannot be provided at present.
- Approval: If approved, the company receives a code to purchase the terms and conditions
