The Client should provide an authentic document (proof) for force majeure reasons for cancellation. Then, depending on availability, vouchers can be used for the same or similar boat. New charter period and price will be agreed subsequently and by mutual agreement accordingly to the Vendor's prices and discounts that are valid at the moment of the Client's intention for re-booking. In case of the price difference between canceled charter period, for which is voucher issued and re-booked charter period, such differences should be covered by the Client.

The charter company is not entitled to issue a voucher if one of the following conditions occur:
