Terms and Conditions:
In consideration of payment of all fees, Kennebunkport Marina, (the "Marina") agrees to allow Owner dock space to moor the above listed vessel (“Vessel”) at a designated float, along with permission to use the adjacent areas, subject to the following terms and conditions (“Agreement”):
1. Premises and Use: The Marina and the Owner expressly agree that this is a service contract and not a lease for and therefore does not convey any interest in any land, submerged land, building, structure, residence or real estate. The premises covered by this agreement shall include the assigned slip, the waterways allowing ingress and egress from the slip, the docks allowing ingress and egress from the slip, the ramps, the yard between the parking lot and the ramps, the parking lot, the bathrooms located in the marina building, and the bathrooms at the Yachtsman Hotel as each of those facilities are designated by the Marina Rules.
2. Vacancies: Owner acknowledges the slip fee is established with the expectation that the Marina will rent out the slip to transient vessels when the Owner’s vessel is not in the slip. Accordingly, Owner agrees to notify Marina when the Vessel is expected to be absent for more than two days.
3. Term: This agreement is for the upcoming season only, which is indicated in the contract. Slip availability for the current season does not guarantee availability for successive seasons. In the event the Vessel(s) and any related equipment are not removed from the Marina by the last day of the upcoming season, removal and storage fees will be applied.
4. Fees and Payment: The fee shall be based on the current slip rates for the upcoming term as established and amended by the Marina from time to time. The Boat's length overall (LOA) will be verified by Marina personnel and invoiced accordingly. Payment for labor, materials, storage, dockage, and any other fee (collectively “Fees”) is due upon receipt of a Marina invoice unless other terms are expressly provided in writing. Any balance not paid within 30 days or within the terms of the invoice will be assessed a late fee of 1.5% compounding per month. OWNER EXPRESSLY GRANTS MARINA THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO ACCESS TO THE PREMISES OR REFUSE TO RELEASE THE VESSEL TO OWNER OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY UNTIL ALL FEES ARE PAID IN FULL, INCLUDING FEES GENERATED PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH 6. ANY LAUNCH OR RELEASE OF THE VESSEL WITHOUT PAYMENT IN FULL OF ALL FEES SHALL NOT BE DEEMED A WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT OF MARINA TO COLLECT FEES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER STATE OR FEDERAL LAW.
5. Marina Rules: Rules concerning the use of the Marina and other Marina-owned property by Vessel owners and guests will be established and posted by the Marina (“Marina Rules”). Owner agrees to abide by the Marina Rules. The Marina Rules may be amended from time to time in the sole discretion of the Marina. Owner further agrees to make best efforts to ensure family members and guests adhere to the Marina Rules. Owner agrees to be held responsible in the event Owner’s family members or guests breach the Marina Rules.
6. Notice of Lien: Owner acknowledges that pursuant to 10 M.R.S.A. § 1381 et seq. the Vessel, along with any motor, trailer, tackle, apparel, and furniture are subject to a lien to secure payment for any and all amounts due Marina under this agreement or any other request by the Owner for services provided to the Vessel. Owner further acknowledges that services provided under this Agreement are necessary for either preservation of the Vessel or for its safe and effective operations. If Owner fails to pay full amount due within 30 days of the due date, Marina shall have the right to resort to any and all remedies granted under applicable law. Owner agrees that in the event Marina must pursue enforcement of the lien created by this paragraph, a “reasonable expense of the sale” under 10 M.R.S.A. § 1385 (the “Statute”) includes attorney fees accrued prior to the sale of the Vessel, including all legal fees incurred by Marina in any litigation to enforce this agreement, where Marina is the prevailing party. Owner agrees to reimburse Marina for any other costs and attorney’s fees not otherwise awarded to Marina under the Statute incurred in the collection of payment under this Agreement or for any action to enforce this agreement. In the event the Vessel remains on the property after the end of the term identified by this agreement, Marina may, at its discretion, dispose of the Vessel by any commercially reasonable method including cutting up and scraping the Vessel. In the event Marina scraps Vessel, in addition to any fees already accrued, Owner will pay a disposal fee consisting of either (1) the time and materials expended, at Marina shop rates, to cut up and load the Vessel and any fees charged by a waste hauler; or (2) ten (10) times the amount of the fee defined in Paragraph 4 above; whichever is greater.
7. Emergencies: Severe weather or flooding may require Marina to move or temporarily relocate the Vessel. Should Marina determine that it is necessary to move or relocate the Vessel, Owner authorizes Marina to do so at Owner’s sole expense. Owner further authorizes Marina to take any and all actions necessary to secure the Vessel or any part of the Vessel in the event the Vessel becomes a hazard to itself or to other persons or property; however, nothing in this agreement shall establish Marina’s obligation to do so and Owner acknowledges that while the Vessel is stored in the water, Owner is at all times responsible for securing the Vessel and all parts of the Vessel including during times of severe weather and/or flooding. Owner will provide to Marina a copy of a key and/or combination so that the Marina may access the Vessel in the event of an emergency.
8. Bailment and Risk of Loss: Owner acknowledge that Marina is not responsible for any damage to the Vessel including, but not limited to, vandalism, theft, fire, flood, explosion, hurricane, lightning, windstorm, earthquake, subsistence of soil, failure or destruction of supporting property or materials, discontinuance of power, governmental interference, civil unrest, war, work stoppages, or labor shortages. The risk of loss of the Vessel shall at all times remain with Owner and Owner agrees to carry insurance to cover all hazards and in an amount satisfactory to Marina. Owner agrees to have his/her boat properly registered, equipped, maintained and insured (including hull and liability insurance). Owner agrees to waive any rights of subrogation by his insurer against Marina for all damages caused by Owner or Owner’s guests. Owner shall provide Marina with written proof of said insurance upon request in a form satisfactory to Marina. Owner acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement or in any dealings between the parties to this Agreement constitutes or establishes a bailment and that at all times, Owner shall have access to the Vessel consistent with the provisions in Paragraphs 3 and 6 herein . Owner shall be responsible for any and all damage Owner or the Owner's guest may cause in whole, or in part to other boats at the facility. Owner further agrees to indemnify and hold Marina harmless, including costs and attorney fees, from any liability arising from the Owner's, Owner’s agent’s or Owner's guest’s use of the facility, including but not limited to, any expenses, costs, losses or third party damage claims attributable in whole or part to Owner, or Owner's guests.
9. Third-Party Contractors: In general, Marina is a closed facility. Owners planning to work on the Vessel themselves or with third-party contractors must obtain the prior written consent of Marina. Such request must detail the scope and method of the planned work and such consent, if granted, will be limited to the stated scope of work. Marina’s consent on any given project should not be considered consent on any other project. Owner agrees to abide by all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations with respect to any work performed by Owner or the Owner’s agents or contractors. Owner agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Marina from and against any and all damages, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including attorneys’ fees, suffered or incurred by Marina or its employees, that result from, Owner’s or Owner’s agents and contractors failure to abide by applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations or Owner’s, failure to obtain any necessary permits or certificates, or otherwise abide by this Agreement.
10. Assignment: This Agreement is specific to Owner only and is not assignable or transferrable by Owner to any person or entity at any time. Marina may assign this Agreement at any time and for any reason.
11. Insurance: Owner shall (i) insure Owner and Marina, as an additional named insured, with commercial general liability coverage, on an occurrence basis and in such amounts and with such Maine admitted companies and against such risks as Marina shall reasonably require and approve, but in amounts acceptable to Marina combined single limit with deductibles of not more than $5,000 per occurrence, and (ii) insure Owner and Marina, as an additional named insured, against loss of the contents and improvements of the Use Area and Property under standard Maine all risk perils form, or its equivalent, in such amounts and with such Maine admitted companies as Marina shall reasonably require and approve, with waiver of subrogation. Owner promptly shall deliver to Marina complete copies of Owner’s insurance policies upon request from Marina.
12. Term and Termination: This Agreement shall be in effect upon the Owner’s delivery of the Vessel and shall remain in effect until the expiration of the following term. This Agreement shall be in effect for one term and shall be renewed for each subsequent term until the Agreement is terminated by either party in accordance with this section. Marina reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, without notice, if Marina concludes, in its sole discretion, that Owner has breached this Agreement or is using Marina’s facilities in any way Marina, in its sole discretion, deems inappropriate or disruptive. In the event Marina terminates this Agreement, Marina shall refund Owner a pro-rated amount of fees minus an amount determined by Marina in its sole discretion necessary to cover any damages caused by Owner, Owner’s guests or agents, or the Vessel.
13. Other Terms and Conditions: Marina makes no representations regarding the depth of the water in the channel adjacent to any slip covered by this Agreement, nor any particular vessel's ability to access a berth at various tidal stages.
