As a Member, you may create Listings.

You acknowledge and agree that Listings will be made publicly available via the Services. Other Members will be able to book your Vessel via the Services based upon the information provided in your Listing. You understand and agree that once a Renter requests a booking of your Vessel, the price for such booking may not be altered without contacting customer service.
You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for any and all Listings you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Listing you post and the booking of, or Renter use of, a Vessel in a Listing you post (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws, Tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Vessel included in a Listing you post, including, but not limited to, insurance requirements, coast guard regulations, zoning laws, marina regulations, and laws governing rentals and operation of Vessels and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties. Please note that ImageSails assumes no responsibility for an Owner’s compliance with any applicable laws, rules and regulations.

You understand and agree that ImageSails does not act as an insurer or as a contracting agent for you as an Owner. If a Renter requests a booking of your Vessel and uses your Vessel, any agreement you enter into with such Renter is between you and the Renter and ImageSails is not a party thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ImageSails serves as the limited authorized agent of the Owner for the purpose of accepting payments from Renters on behalf of the Owner and is responsible for transmitting such payments to the Owner.
When you create a Listing, you may also choose to include certain requirements which must be met by the Members who are eligible to request a booking of your Vessel, including, but not limited to, requiring Members to have a profile picture or verified phone number, in order to book your Vessel. Any Member wishing to book Vessels included in Listings with such requirements must meet these requirements; however, as noted below, we do not attempt to confirm or verify such information. More information on how to set such requirements is available via the “ Owners” section of the Services.
If you are an Owner, ImageSails makes certain tools available to you to help you to make informed decisions about which Members you choose to confirm for booking for your Vessel. You acknowledge and agree that, as an Owner, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions.
ImageSails reserves the right to edit any and all information in vessel listings, including but not limited to its description, other text, and photographs.

No Endorsement
ImageSails does not endorse any Members or any Vessels. In addition, although these Terms require Members to provide accurate information, we do not attempt to confirm, and do not confirm, any Member’s purported identity or other information provided by such Member. You are responsible for determining the identity and suitability of others who you contact via the Services. Except as provided by the ImageSails Terms and Conditions, we will not be responsible for any damage or harm resulting from your interactions with other Members.
ImageSails may provide, at the same cost, a vessel it considers of equal ability to provide the services requested.
By using the Services, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other Members or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Members or other third parties who caused you harm and you agree not to attempt to impose liability on, or seek any legal remedy from ImageSails with respect to such actions or omissions. Accordingly, we encourage you to communicate directly with other Members on the Services regarding any bookings or Listings made by you. This limitation shall not apply to any claim by an Owner against ImageSails regarding the remittance of payments received from a Renter by ImageSails on behalf of an Owner, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled “ Limitation of Liability”.
Bookings and Financial Terms
If you are an Owner and a booking is requested for your Vessel via the Services, you may be required to either confirm or reject the booking within 24 hours of when the booking is requested (as determined by ImageSails in its sole discretion) or the booking request may be automatically canceled. When a booking is requested via the Services, we will share with you (i) the first and last name of the Renter who has requested the booking, and, (ii) a link to the Renter’s ImageSails Account profile page,so that you can view such information before confirming or rejecting the booking. If you are unable to confirm or decide to reject a booking of a Vessel within such 24 hour period, any amounts collected by ImageSails for the requested booking may be refunded to the applicable Renter’s credit card and any pre-authorization of such credit card will be released. When you confirm a booking requested by a Renter, ImageSails will send you an email, text message or message via the Services confirming such booking, depending on the selections you make via the Services.
The fees displayed in each Listing are comprised of the Vessel Fees (defined below) and the Renter Fees (defined below.) Where applicable, Taxes may be charged in addition to the Vessel Fees and Renter Fees. The Vessel Fees, the Renter Fees and applicable Taxes are collectively referred to in these Terms as the “ Total Fees”. The amounts due and payable by a Renter solely relating to an Owner’s Vessel which are actually collected by ImageSails are the “Vessel Fees”. Please note that it is the Owner and not ImageSails which determines the Vessel Fees. The Vessel Fees may include cleaning fees, pre-paid fuel charges, at the Owner’s discretion.
ImageSails charges a fee to Renters based upon a percentage of applicable Vessel Fees which are the “ Service Fees”. The Service Fees are added to the Vessel Fees to calculate the Total Fees (which will also include applicable Taxes) displayed in the applicable Listing. ImageSails will collect the Total Fees at the time of booking confirmation (i.e. when the Owner confirms the booking within 24 hours of the booking request) and will initiate payment of the Vessel Fees (less ImageSails’ Service Fees as defined in the Fees Policy to the Owner two business days after of when the Renter arrives at the applicable Vessel (except to the extent that a refund is due to the Renter). Failure to charge any of the fees or other indulgences shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event another fee should become due at any other time.
The minimum age to book is 21.
Appointment of ImageSails as Payment Agent for Owner
Each Owner hereby appoints ImageSails as the Owner’s limited agent solely for the purpose of collecting payments made by Renters on behalf of the Owner. Each Owner agrees that payment of Vessel fees made by a Renter to ImageSails shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to the Owner and the Owner will make the Vessel available to Renter in the agreed upon manner as if the Owner has received the Vessel Fees. Each Owner agrees that ImageSails may, in accordance with the cancellation policy selected by the Owner and reflected in the relevant Listing, (i) permit the Renter to cancel the booking and (ii) refund to the Renter that portion of the Vessel Fees specified in the applicable cancellation policy. In accepting appointment as the limited authorized agent of the Owner, ImageSails assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of the Owner.
Please note that ImageSails does not currently charge fees for the creation of Listings. However, you acknowledge and agree that ImageSails reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to charge you for and collect fees from you for the creation of Listings, or for other features of the Services. Please note that ImageSails will provide notice of any such additional fees via the Services, prior to implementing such fees.
Bookings and Financial Terms for Renters
The Owners, not ImageSails, are solely responsible for honoring any confirmed bookings and making available any Vessels reserved through the Services. If you, as a Renter, choose to enter into a transaction with an Owner for the booking of a Vessel, you agree and understand that you will be required to enter into an agreement with the Owner and you agree to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with such Vessel imposed by the Owner. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not ImageSails, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any such agreements, that ImageSails is not a party to such agreements, and that, with the exception of its obligations hereunder to pay Vessel Fees to the applicable Owner, ImageSails disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements. You acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the fact that ImageSails is not a party to the agreement between you and the Owner, ImageSails acts as the Owner’s payment agent for the limited purpose of accepting payments from you on behalf of the Owner. Upon your payment of amounts to ImageSails which are due to the Owner, your payment obligation to the Owner for such amounts is extinguished, and ImageSails is responsible for remitting such amounts, less ImageSails’ Owner Fees, to the Owner. In the event that ImageSails does not remit any such amounts to an Owner, such Owner will have recourse for such amounts only against ImageSails.
Listings for Vessels will specify the Total Fees. As noted above, the Owner is required to either confirm or reject the booking within 24 hours of when the booking is requested (as determined by ImageSails in its sole discretion) or the requested booking may be automatically canceled. If a requested booking is canceled (i.e. not confirmed by the applicable Owner), any amounts collected by ImageSails will be refunded to such Renter, depending on the selections the Renter makes via the Services, and any pre-authorization of such Renter’s credit card will be released, if applicable.
You agree to pay ImageSails for the Total Fees for any booking requested in connection with your ImageSails Account if such requested bookings are confirmed by the applicable Owner. In order to establish a booking pending the applicable Owner’s confirmation of your requested booking, you understand and agree that ImageSails, on behalf of the Owner, reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) obtain a pre-authorization via your credit card for the Total Fees or (ii) charge your credit card a nominal amount, not to exceed one dollar ($1) to verify your credit card. Once ImageSails receives confirmation of your booking from the applicable Owner, ImageSails will collect the Total Fees in accordance with these Terms and the pricing terms set forth in the applicable Listing. Please note that ImageSails cannot control any fees that may be charged to a Renter by his or her bank related to ImageSails’ collection of the Total Fees, and ImageSails disclaims all liability in this regard.
In connection with your requested booking, you will be asked to provide customary billing information such as name, billing address and credit card information either to ImageSails or its third party payment processor. You agree to pay ImageSails for any confirmed bookings made in connection with your ImageSails Account in accordance with these Terms by one of the methods described on the Site or Application – e.g. by PayPal or credit card. You hereby authorize the collection of such amounts by charging the credit card provided as part of requesting the booking, either directly by ImageSails or indirectly, via a third party online payment processor or by one of the payment methods described on the Services. You also authorize ImageSails to charge your credit card in the event of damage caused on a Vessel as contemplated under “ Damage to Vessels” below and for Security Deposits (as defined below), if applicable. If you are directed to ImageSails’ third party payment processor, you may be subject to terms and conditions governing use of that third party’s service and that third party’s personal information collection practices. Please review such terms and conditions and privacy policy before using the services. Once your confirmed booking transaction is complete you will receive a confirmation email summarizing your confirmed booking.

Relationship of Parties
A. Contractor’s Representations and Responsibilities. Contractor is an independent contractor of Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating a joint venture, an employer-employee relationship, as a guarantee of future employment or engagement. Contractor agrees to be responsible for all of Contractor’s own federal and state taxes (corporate or individual) and/or any other benefits (e.g., health or other kinds of insurance). Contractor bears the sole and exclusive responsibility to make and pay all such contributions and taxes. Contractor will be solely responsible for all of such payments, withholdings, or benefits, if any as required under law, and Contractor will indemnify and hold harmless Company and its successors, assigns, directors, officers, shareholders, agents and/or employees from any and all losses or liability arising from its failure to make such payments, withholdings, and benefits, if any. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes or appoints Contractor as an agent, legal representative, partner, employee or servant of the Company for any purpose whatsoever. The authority of Contractor hereunder is strictly limited to the performance of her/his services under this Agreement.
B. Company’s Representations and Responsibilities. Contractor is not and will not be treated as an employee for federal, state or local tax purposes. Company will not withhold from any compensation due to Contractor or make any contribution on account of Contractor’s compensation to or under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) or any other Federal, State or Local income or other tax or benefits program (e.g., unemployment or worker’s compensation) arising out of Contractor’s services or compensation.
Non-disclosure, non-competition, and non-solicitation
A. This Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement, whether voluntary or involuntary, and regardless of the circumstances of the termination.
B. Non-Disclosure. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that Company, through the expenditure of substantial time, effort and money, has developed certain confidential information and trade secrets that have become of great value to Company. Contractor acknowledges that such trade secrets and confidential information includes, but is not limited to, proprietary business information concerning Company and its business operations, marketing, sales, costs, business methods, customers (including customer lists), accounts and vendors; financial information concerning Company; information regarding Company’s employees and independent contractors, payroll, general personnel, computer software programs and any rights relating thereto; information relating to any product (whether actual or proposed), development (including any improvement, advancement or modification thereto), technology, technique, process or methodology of Company; any operational and management guidelines; any corporate and commercial policies; any cost or pricing data and/or projections; and any other similar information which is proprietary in nature. Contractor acknowledges that such information, hereinafter referred to as “trade secrets” or “confidential information,” has been provided or otherwise made available to Contractor solely in connection with Contractor’s engagement by Company and is not generally known to the trade or industry. Contractor further acknowledges that such trade secrets or confidential information constitute “legitimate business interests” of Company which must be protected. Accordingly, Contractor covenants and agrees that she/he will not make independent use of, utilize, disclose, publish, or authorize anyone to disclose or publish to any other person or organization, any of Company’s trade secrets or confidential information. Upon the termination of her/his engagement, regardless of the circumstances under which the engagement is terminated, Contractor shall surrender to Company all such information, including reproductions of any kind, in the custody, possession or control of Contractor.
C. Non-Competition. During the period of Contractor’s engagement with Company and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, regardless of the circumstances under which the engagement is terminated, Contractor agrees not to, directly or indirectly, for herself/himself or any third party, accept employment or engage in any business or activity that is directly or indirectly in competition with Company. The geographical area to which this non-competition agreement applies is any area in which Company currently solicits or conducts business, and/or any area in which Company plans to solicit or conduct business for a period of two years after Contractor engagement with Company ends.
D. Non-Solicitation. During the period of Contractor’s engagement and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, regardless of the circumstances under which the engagement is terminated, Contractor agrees not to, directly or indirectly, for Contractor, or for others, contact, solicit, or divert or take away business from, any existing or prospective clients, customers, accounts, vendors, lenders, agents, or any other individual or entity of Company with whom Contractor obtained, maintained, or developed business contact or a business relationship during Contractor’s engagement with Company, or with whom Contractor conducted business in any manner as a result of or in the furtherance of Contractor’s engagement with Company. Contractor further agrees that for a period of two (2) years following the termination of her/his engagement hereunder, she/he will not solicit, hire or otherwise retain the services of any Contractor, independent contractor, worker, or agent of Company and Contractor will not encourage or induce any such persons to terminate their relationships with Company.
E. Reasonableness. Contractor acknowledges that the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section are reasonably necessary for the protection of the important and legitimate interests of the Company. These covenants are reasonable as to duration, scope, and territory, and are not unreasonably restrictive upon the rights of Contractor, who is qualified to work in businesses other than those that are competitive with Company and is confident in her/his ability to do so if necessary.
F. Modification. In the event that any term or sentence of this Section is deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction (or arbitrator) to be unenforceable for any reason, such enforceable provision of a lesser duration or effect shall be substituted; provided, however, the unenforceability of any term or sentence (or any other portion) of this Agreement shall not affect the enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement. Further, the covenants set forth herein shall be construed as agreements independent of any other provision in any other agreement by, between, among, or affecting Company and Contractor, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Contractor against Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of this Agreement.
G. Additional Representations. Contractor has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Agreement, and having done so agrees that the restrictions set forth herein are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the interests of Company, its assignees, affiliates, founders, directors, officers and other Contractors and to prevent irreparable harm to the foregoing. Contractor understands that in the event she/he violates any of the terms of any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section herein, the duration of these restrictive covenants shall be extended for the entire time of the violation so that Company is provided with the benefit of the full time period provided herein.
H. Damages. Contractor understands that any breach under this Section constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Contractor recognizes that irreparable injury will result to Company, its business and property in the event of any breach of this Agreement, and that Contractor’s continued services are based primarily upon the assurances made herein. Accordingly, Contractor agrees that Company, in addition to any monetary damages or other remedies available, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be entitled to an injunction to restrain the violation or compel the performance of any or all of the terms of this Agreement by Contractor, her/his servants, agents, partners or companies, or any and all persons acting for or with Contractor.
Non-assignment
Contractor may not assign, pledge or encumber her/his interest in this Agreement or any part thereof. Contractor agrees that the terms of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect if Company or substantially all of its assets is/are acquired by another entity or individual.
Attorneys’ Fees and Costs
Contractor and Company agree that should any dispute (or litigation in court) be instituted by either party against the other regarding the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its expenses related to any such litigation including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, both before and after judgment (including at the appellate level).

There are no other promises, conditions, understandings or other agreements, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
C. Severability. To the extent that any provision herein is deemed unenforceable, all remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect.
D. Modification. This Agreement may not be waived, changed, modified, abandoned, or terminated, in whole or in part, except by a separate agreement signed by Company and by Contractor.
E. No Waiver of Breach. The failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of any such provision, nor prevent a party thereafter from enforcing the provision or any other provision of this Agreement. The rights granted to the Parties are cumulative, and the election of one will not constitute a waiver of such party’s right to assert all other legal and equitable remedies available under the circumstances.
F. Choice of Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed in all respects by, the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflicts of law principles. The Parties voluntarily consent to the jurisdiction of all Federal and State Courts located in the State of Florida. The Parties further agree and consent that venue of any action hereunder shall be undertaken exclusively in the County of Miami-Dade, State of Florida.
G. Return of Company’s Property. At any time upon the demand of Company, and/or upon termination of Contractor’s services for Company (whether voluntary or involuntary), Contractor will immediately deliver to Company all data, manuals, specifications, lists, notes, writings, customer and product lists, photocopies, microfilm, tape recordings, computer disks, patterns, art work, and all other documents or tangible materials whatsoever, including all copies or duplicates, concerning any part of Company’s activities or concerning any part of her/his activities as an Contractor. Contractor acknowledges that all such items, including Contractor’s e-mails and notes, are the property of Company, though they may be entrusted to Contractor on a temporary basis.
H. Interpretation. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purpose only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Contractor agrees that Company has given Contractor the opportunity to have this document reviewed by an attorney. The Parties negotiated the terms herein. This Agreement shall not be interpreted more strictly against either party merely because that party drafted it.

You agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold ImageSails and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (a) your access to or use of the Services or Collective Content or your violation of these Terms; (b) your Member Content; (c) your (i) interaction with any Member, (ii) booking or use of a Vessel, (iii) creation of a Listing or (iv) the use, condition or rental of a Vessel by you, including, but not limited to any injuries, losses, or damages (compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of a rental, booking or use of a Vessel.
Export Control and Restricted Countries
By using the Services, you represent and warrant that (i) neither you nor your listed Vessel is located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “ terrorist supporting” country and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You also will not use the Services for any purpose prohibited by U.S. law, including the development, design, manufacture or production of missiles, or nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. ImageSails does not permit Listings associated with certain countries due to U.S. embargo restrictions.
Reporting Misconduct
If you interact with another user of the Services who you feel is acting or has acted inappropriately, including but not limited to, anyone who (i) engages in offensive, violent or sexually inappropriate behavior, (ii) you suspect of stealing from you, or (iii) engages in any other disturbing conduct, you should immediately report such person to the appropriate authorities and then to ImageSails by contacting us with your police station and report number via a support ticket; provided that your report will not obligate us to take any action beyond that required by law (if any) or cause us to incur any liability to you.
Entire Agreement
These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between ImageSails and you regarding the Services, Collective Content, and any bookings or Listings of Vessels made via the Services, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between ImageSails and you regarding the foregoing.
Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without ImageSails’ prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. ImageSails may assign or transfer these Terms, at its sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
Notices
Any notices or other communications permitted or required hereunder, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be in writing and given by ImageSails (i) via email (in each case to the address that you provide) or (ii) by posting to the Site or via the Application. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.
Controlling Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California and the United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. You and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in San Francisco County, San Francisco, California or a United States District Court, Northern District of California located in San Francisco, California for any actions for which the parties retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights, as set forth in the Dispute Resolution provision below.
Dispute Resolution
You and ImageSails agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or to the use of the Services (collectively, “ Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND ImageSails ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and ImageSails otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Terms.
Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The AAA Rules are available at http://www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at http://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_004175 and a separate form for California residents at http://adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_004314.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless you and ImageSails otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and ImageSails submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. ImageSails will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.
Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, ImageSails will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the “Modification” section above, if ImageSails changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (via a support ticket) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated Date” above or in the date of ImageSails’ email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and ImageSails in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
General
The failure of ImageSails to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of ImageSails. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. If for any reason an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

3) PRIVACY POLICY
ImageSails, Inc., Operating as ImageSails, (“ImageSails”, “we” or “us”) provides this Privacy Policy to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information we receive from users of http://www.imagesails.com (collectively, the “Site”) and any other products or services made available by ImageSails, all of the foregoing are, collectively, the “Services”. This Privacy Policy applies only to information that you provide to us through the Services. This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our information practices. If we make any material changes we will notify you by email (sent to the e-mail address specified in your ImageSails Account) or by means of a notice on the Services prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Use, herein.
As used in this policy, the terms “using” and “processing” information include using cookies on a computer, subjecting the information to statistical or other analysis and using or handling information in any way, including, but not limited to collecting, storing, evaluating, modifying, deleting, using, combining, disclosing and transferring information within our organization or among our affiliates within the United States or internationally.
International Transfer
YOUR INFORMATION MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO – AND MAINTAINED ON – COMPUTERS LOCATED OUTSIDE OF YOUR STATE, PROVINCE, COUNTRY OR OTHER GOVERNMENTAL JURISDICTION WHERE THE PRIVACY LAWS MAY NOT BE AS PROTECTIVE AS THOSE IN YOUR JURISDICTION. IF YOU ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES AND CHOOSE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO US, IMAGESAILS TRANSFERS PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THE UNITED STATES AND PROCESSES IT THERE. YOUR CONSENT TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY FOLLOWED BY YOUR SUBMISSION OF SUCH INFORMATION REPRESENTS YOUR AGREEMENT TO THAT TRANSFER.
Information Collection and Use
Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our Site, Services, features and content, to administer your use of the Site and to enable users to enjoy and easily navigate the Site.
Personally Identifiable Information
When you register with us through the Services and become a Member, when you choose to post a Listing or rent a Vessel, or when you wish to contact another Member, we will ask you for personally identifiable information. This refers to information about you that can be used to contact or identify you (“Identity Information”). Identity Information includes, but is not limited to, your name, phone number, drivers license, email address, social security number (SSN), and home postal address, but does not include your credit card number or billing information. In order to process some of your transactions through the Services, we may also ask for your credit card number and other billing information (“Billing Information”) (Identity Information and Billing Information together, “Personal Information”). Some Personal Information is required, like your name and email address, and other Personal Information is optional, like your date of birth. We use your Personal Information to provide the Service and administer your inquiries.
We collect Personal Information in connection with your registration to join the Service. You can register to join via the Site or Application by completing the required forms.
You can also register to join by logging into online accounts you may have with third party service providers (“TPA”) (e.g. Facebook); each such account, a “Third Party Account”, via our Site or Application as described below. As part of the functionality of the Site, Service and Application, you may link your ImageSails Account with Third Party Accounts, by either: (i) providing your Third Party Account login information to ImageSails through the Site, Service or Application; or (ii) allowing ImageSails to access your Third Party Account, as is permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third Party Account. You represent that you are entitled to disclose your Third Party Account login information to ImageSails and/or grant ImageSails access to your Third Party Account (including, but not limited to, for use for the purposes described herein), without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable Third Party Account and without obligating ImageSails to pay any fees or making ImageSails subject to any usage limitations imposed by the applicable TPA. If you decide to register by logging into a Third Party Account via our Site or Application, we will obtain the Personal Information you have provided to the applicable TPA (such as your “real” name, email address, profile picture, names of TPA friends, names of TPA groups to which you belong, other information you make publicly available via the applicable TPA and/or other information you authorize ImageSails to access by authorizing the TPA to provide such information) from your Third Party Accounts and use that information to create your ImageSails Account and ImageSails Account profile page and you will become a Member. Depending on the Third Party Accounts you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third Party Accounts, you understand that by granting us access to the Third Party Accounts, we will access, make available and store (if applicable and as permitted by the TPA and authorized by you) the information in your Third Party Accounts so that it is available on and through your ImageSails Account on the Site, Service and Application. If there is information about your “friends” or people with whom you are associated in your Third Party Account, the information we obtain about those “friends” or people with whom you are associated, may also depend on the privacy settings such people have with the applicable TPA.
We also collect the other information that you provide as part of registration and the administration and personalization of your ImageSails Account profile (e.g., without limitation, zip code (on its own) and individual preferences or demographic information) (“Non-Identifying Information”).
We use your Personal Information (in some cases, in conjunction with your Non-Identifying Information) mainly to provide the Service, complete your transactions, and administer your inquiries.
Certain Non-Identifying Information would be considered a part of your Personal Information if it were combined with other identifiers (for example, combining your zip code with your street address) in a way that enables you to be identified. But the same pieces of information are considered Non-Identifying Information when they are taken alone or combined only with other non-identifying information (for example, your demographic information). We may combine your Personal Information with Non-Identifying Information and aggregate it with information collected from other ImageSails Users (defined below) to attempt to provide you with a better experience, to improve the quality and value of the Service and to analyze and understand how our Services are used. We may also use the combined information without aggregating it to serve you specifically, for instance to deliver a product to you according to your preferences or restrictions.
We also use your Personal Information to contact you with ImageSails newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications or update your “Notifications” information. (See “Changing or Deleting Information,” below.) We may also share the combined information without aggregating it to partners we feel may have material benefit to you or your use of the Site. Please note that we may also use your Personal Information to contact you with information related to your use of the Service, or services from Partners; you may not opt out of these notifications.
Log Data
When you visit the Services, whether as a Member or a non-registered user just browsing (any of these, a “ImageSails User”), our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website (“Log Data”). This Log Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type or the webpage you were visiting before you came to our Services, pages or features of our Services that you visit or use, the time spent on those pages, information you search for on our Services, access times and dates, and other statistics. We use this information to monitor and analyze use of the Services and for the technical administration of the Services, to increase the functionality and user-friendliness of the Services, and to better tailor our Services to our visitors’ needs. We also use this information to verify that visitors to the Services meet the criteria required to process their requests. We do not treat Log Data as Personal Information or use it in association with other Personal Information, though we may aggregate, analyze and evaluate such information for the same purposes as stated above regarding other Non-Identifying Information.
Cookies
Like many websites, we use “cookies” to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies for two purposes. First, we utilize persistent cookies to save your login information for future logins to the Services. Second, we utilize session ID cookies to enable certain features of the Services, to better understand how you interact with the Services and to monitor aggregate usage by ImageSails Users and web traffic routing on the Services. Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted from your computer when you log off from the Services and then close your browser. Third party advertisers on the Services may also place or read cookies on your browser. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions or functionality of the Service.
Web Beacons
Our Services may contain electronic images known as Web beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs) and are used along with cookies to compile aggregated statistics to analyze how our Services are used and may be used in some of our emails to let us know which emails and links have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our customer communications and marketing campaigns.
Emailing Via a ImageSails Account
As part of the Service, ImageSails Users may communicate with ImageSails Members through use of the “Contact Owner” feature on the Services. If the functionality exists for ImageSails Users to have selected the option of adding one or more email addresses to an online form, the message they create in the corresponding template will be sent from ImageSails to those email addresses on their behalf.
Phishing
Identity theft and the practice currently known as “phishing” are of great concern to ImageSails. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information, your ImageSails Account ID, login password, or national identification numbers in a non-secure or unsolicited e-mail or telephone communication. For more information about phishing, visit the Federal Trade Commission’s website at http://www.ftc.gov.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Overview
The Services can be used to facilitate the listing and booking of Vessels. Listings for such Vessels are made available via the Services by Owners. Listings posted by Owners, ratings and reviews of Owners and Renters, and the Profile Information (as defined below) of Owners and Renters, are visible to any ImageSails User.
ImageSails Members and Users
When you create a ImageSails Account, we will set up a ImageSails Account profile page for you. Your ImageSails Account profile page will include your first name and last initial and connections you have established between your Account and any TPAs, and a biography and links to your Listings. You can select the other items of Personal Information that you wish to be included in your ImageSails Account profile page – including, but not limited to, a profile picture, or, other information knows as your “Profile Information”. We will display your Profile Information in your ImageSails Account profile page publicly via the Services, and, with your prior permission, on third party sites. Any information you choose to provide as part of your Profile Information will be publicly visible to all ImageSails Users and consequently should reflect how much you want other ImageSails Users to know about you. We recommend that you guard your anonymity and sensitive information and we encourage members to think carefully about what information about themselves they disclose in their profile pages. You can review and revise your Profile Information at any time.
Listings
If you post a Listing, we may publish that Listing publicly via the Services and may enable third parties to publish your Listing on their websites through the use of an HTML “widget”. We may also display the geographical location of your Listing in the form of a map to potential Renters.
ImageSails retains the right to use any and all descriptions, depictions, and any other representations of you and your vessel in their advertising and marketing, whether online or physical, in any form, without limitation of design or content, without further notice, and without compensation of any kind. This includes monthly newsletters, specials, social media, and presence on the ImageSails websites.
If you request to make a booking via the Services, ImageSails will share the following information about you with the applicable Owner: (i) your first and last name, (ii) a link to your ImageSails Account profile page where the owner can view your Vesseling history, reviews, and description/links. All of this information will enable the Owner to decide whether to confirm or reject your booking. When an Owner confirms a booking we will share pieces of the Owner’s Identify Information, including, but not limited to, full name, phone number, the Vessel’s address and the Owner’s email address, with the applicable Renter selected by the Owner and we will share pieces of the Renter’s Identify Information with the Owner, including, but not limited to, full name, phone number and email address, so that the Renter and Owner may contact one another directly. In no event is a Renter’s Billing Information shared with an Owner.
Aggregate Information and Non-Identifying Information
We may share aggregated information that does not include Personal Information and we may otherwise disclose Non-Identifying Information and Log Data with third parties for industry analysis, demographic profiling and other purposes. Any aggregated information shared in these contexts will not contain your Personal Information.
Service Providers
We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service, to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Site and Application-related services (e.g., without limitation, maintenance services, database management, web analytics, fraud detection services relating to the activity of ImageSails Users and improvement of the features of the Service) or to assist us in analyzing how our Services are used. These third parties may have access to your Personal Information; if they do, this access is only so that they may perform these tasks on our behalf and they are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. We may also provide Personal Information to our business partners or other trusted entities for the purpose of providing you with information on goods or services we believe will be of interest to you. You can, at any time, opt out of receiving such communications.
Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement
ImageSails cooperates with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (including but not limited to subpoenas), to protect the property and rights of ImageSails or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, any illegal, unethical or legally actionable activity.
We will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials and to our insurance services providers as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or to protect the property and rights of ImageSails or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, any illegal, unethical or legally actionable activity.
Business Transfers
ImageSails may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of its assets, including your Personal Information, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets or in the event of bankruptcy.
Changing or Deleting Your Information
All Members may review, update, correct or delete the Personal Information by editing the relevant part of their profile or by contacting us via a support ticket. If you would like us to cancel your ImageSails Account, please contact us via a support ticket and we will attempt to accommodate your request if we do not have any legal obligation or a legitimate business reason to retain the information contained in your ImageSails Account. Please note that, if you cancel your ImageSails Account, any reviews you have posted via the Services will remain publicly viewable via the Services. Please see below for privacy contact information.
Security
ImageSails is very concerned with safeguarding your information. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number) on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our Services, you can contact us via a support ticket.
We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored “personal data” (as defined in applicable state statutes on security breach notification) to you via email or conspicuous posting on the Services in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.
Links to Other Websites
Our Services may contain links to other websites. If you choose to visit an advertiser by “clicking on” a banner ad or other type of advertisement, or click on another third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s website. The fact that we link to a website or present a banner ad or other type of advertisement is not an endorsement, authorization or representation of our affiliation with that third party, nor is it an endorsement of their privacy or information security policies or practices. We do not exercise control over third party websites. These other websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you. Other websites follow different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the personal information you submit to them. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit.
Testimonials
By agreeing to the Terms of Service we may post your testimonial or reviews on the Services along with your name. If you want your testimonial removed please contact us via a support ticket.
Our Policy Toward Children
The Site and Application are not directed to individuals under 21. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with Personal Information without their consent, he or she should contact us. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with Personal Information, please notify us via a support ticket so that we may delete such information from our files.
Access to your account
ImageSails will have the right to access your account to make any changes to reservations, listings, or profile information at its sole discretion.
Contacting Us
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us via a support ticket.
4) Cancellation Policy
These terms and conditions govern the ImageSails Cancellation Policy (the “Cancellation Policy “) available to Renters and Owners through the ImageSails platform (the “Site”).
ImageSails has a standardized cancellation policy that we will enforce. Each party has the ability to cancel at any time. The fee schedule will be determined on when the cancellation occurs in relationship to the reservation dates.
Minimum Quality Standards & Owner Responsibilities
If you are an Owner, you are responsible for ensuring that the Vessels you list on the Services meet minimum quality standards regarding access, adequacy of the description on the Services, safety, cleanliness, and do not present a Renter with Travel Issues. During the 24-hour period following the Renter’s check-in, Owners should be available, or make a third-party available, in order to try, in good faith, to resolve Renter issues.
Vessel Owner Penalties
We reserve the right to penalize owners that cancel reservations or don’t meet minimum quality standards with the following penalties:
No Assignment/No Insurance
This Cancellation Policy is not intended to constitute an offer to insure, does not constitute insurance or an insurance contract, does not take the place of insurance obtained or obtainable by the Renter, and the
Renter has not paid any premium in respect of the Cancellation Policy. The benefits provided under this Cancellation Policy are not assignable or transferable by you.
Modification or Termination
ImageSails reserves the right to modify or terminate this Cancellation Policy, at any time, in its sole discretion, and without prior notice. If ImageSails modifies this Cancellation Policy, we will post the modification on the Site or provide you with notice of the modification and ImageSails will continue to process all pending refunds/disputes made prior to the effective date of the modification.
Entire Agreement and Definitions
This Cancellation Policy constitutes the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between ImageSails and you regarding the Cancelation Policy and supersedes and replaces any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between ImageSails and you regarding the Cancellation Policy. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the ImageSails Terms of Service.
Controlling Law
This Cancellation Policy will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California and the United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions.
Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT WILL ImageSails’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS ImageSails POLICY TERMS, EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF THE VESSEL FEES COLLECTED BY ImageSails FROM THE RENTER. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, BY POSTING A LISTING OR BOOKING A VESSEL OR OTHERWISE USING THE SERVICES AS AN OWNER OR RENTER, YOU ARE INDICATING THAT YOU HAVE READ, AND THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE POLICY TERMS.
Contacting ImageSails
If you have any questions about the Cancellation Policy, please contact ImageSails via a support ticket.
5) Fee Policy
The following is an explanation of all current fees assessed by ImageSails. Failure to charge any of the below fees does not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event another fee should become due at any other time. Any and all fees are subject to change without notice.
SERVICE FEES
A service fee is required of both renters and owners. A 20% service fee charged on each rental. The 20% fee is applied to the price before any coupons or credits are applied to the final bill and is non-refundable.
VESSEL OWNER FEES
P2P AND CHARTER
20% fee per rental.
PROCESSING FEES
ImageSails charges processing fees on any additional payments processed on behalf of the owner or renter. This includes fuel, damage/security deposit payments, or other miscellaneous charges. In 2017, the processing fee was 2.8% + $0.65 per charge. Processing fees may increase.
ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
ImageSails reserves the right to charge an additional $40 administrative fee for various issues such as chargebacks, disputes, or late fees. This is determined on a case-by-case basis. Administrative fees may increase.
RESOLUTION FEES
The fees listed below are related to any post-rental resolution between parties. Failure to charge any of the below fees shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event another fee should become due at any other time.
LATE FEE
If a renter returns a Vessel after the agreed rental period end time or arrives late to the start of the rental, they can be charged a late fee. This late fee is calculated by combining a one-time administrative fee of $40.00 plus the prorated hourly rental rate (based on the daily rental rate for the Vessel rented) plus applicable insurance charges. If the late return results in the disruption of another rental or if ImageSails needs to find the owner of the Vessel alternative transportation due to the late return, the renter will pay the full daily rate for every eight (8) hours the Vessel is late and an additional $100 administrative fee. ImageSails WILL deduct the standard Service Fees from any late fee charge.
OWNER NO-SHOW / VESSEL IN BAD CONDITION FEE
If the Vessel owner does not show up to meet the renter and make the Vessel available for the renter at the agreed upon rental start time or if the Vessel is in an unacceptable condition, ImageSails will treat this as an owner cancellation and can charge the owner up to $100 per no-show at their discretion.
REFUELING FEE
In the case that the Owner’s fuel policy is not followed, ImageSails will charge the Renter for fuel replaced as well as the standard $30 administrative fee.
SECURITY DEPOSITS
A minimum of $500 will be held for each rental as a security deposit. Owners reserve the right to charge higher deposits, which will be held on the renter’s credit card to cover any incidental damage or lost items. The credit card hold will be released 72 hours after the rental period ends if no dispute or claim has been filed. In the case a claim is filed by the owner, the security deposit will be captured and held until the claim is resolved. If ImageSails is unable to capture a security deposit before the rental, the rental can be canceled.
For any claim event, the renter’s security deposit will be captured to pay the insurance deductible, damages, and fees. Any portions of the security deposit that are unused will be refunded back to the Renter at the resolution of the claims process.
*Service fees and commissions are subject to change at any time.
CHARGEBACK FEES
ImageSails reserves the right to charge a $15 chargeback fee to both the renter and owner depending on the type of chargeback. Additionally, owners are 100% responsible for any amount disputed or charged back. When a chargeback occurs ImageSails will stop payout on a rental until the chargeback is resolved. In the situation that an owner has already received a payout related to a chargeback, ImageSails will charge the owners bank account for the chargeback amount and hold that amount in escrow until the chargeback is adjudicated. If the chargeback is won, ImageSails will return the amount back to the owner, less a $15 administrative fee. If the chargeback is lost, the money will not be returned and used to issue a refund. In this case, both ImageSails and the owner lose which makes being diligent on checking for fraudulent renters even more important.
