The security deposit shall be refunded in full, unless there is damage to the yacht or its equipment at the end of your holiday.
In the case of loss or damage to the equipment, parts of the yacht, or the yacht itself, the Charter Company shall retain the amount, which corresponds to the value of repair, acquisition and / or purchasing the equipment, or particular part of the yacht.

- TRAVEL INSURANCE is not included
Indigo does not sell or organise travel insurance. You must buy travel insurance before going on Holiday. You should make sure that your insurance policy covers adventurous activities such as sailing. Please read your policy carefully to ensure it complies with this requirement and covers all of the activities in which you will be participating. We strongly recommend your policy covers cancellation, personal liability, loss of personal property and travel disruption in the event of travel restrictions (including due to Covid). It is a condition of your booking that you have a suitable travel insurance policy in place. Indigo does not accept any liability to those who travel without travel insurance and in breach of this clause. You also agree to indemnify us against all third-party claims, actions or other remedies which may be brought or sought against us in respect of your participation in the Holiday.
- PASSPORT & VISA COSTS are not included
You are responsible to have valid travel documents and any necessary visas that may be required to have you enter Croatia, including transit stops prior to your departure.

- If you do not check-in online, you will be charged an administrative fee to check-in on site and you may have to go through a longer check-in process.
- Upon arrival at your base marina, you will be required to deliver following:
- Proof of identification.
- Negative COVID-19 certificate – the current policy is that all guests are required to have negative COVID test within 72 hours of the Holiday and you have to present it to an Indigo Staff on arrival. Failure to show a valid negative certificate may result in you being prevented from attending the Personal Development & Sailing Holiday and not being eligible for a refund. This clause is subject to change and you will be provided with further information prior to your trip.
- We reserve the right to prevent a guest from attending the event who has tested positive for Corona virus within 14 days of the Holiday date.
- You and your Crewmates have to be present upon the check-out because of your Yacht Security Deposit. If you or any other Crewmate are not present, should the Charter Company deduct any sums from your deposit for damage to the yacht, the Skipper will not be in a position to negotiate any costs on your behalf and will sign off on the damages in order to proceed with check out. Therefore, in a given situation you risk losing yours and /or other Crewmates’ deposits. Indigo cannot accept liability for the return, or a loss, of such money.
ITINERARY
- The itinerary as provided to you may be affected by weather conditions and other uncontrollable situations. Even though Indigo tries its best to ensure the itinerary is followed as closely as possible, Indigo cannot be held responsible for deviations in the itinerary due to circumstances outside its control.
- Your itinerary will be confirmed in its final form 14 days prior to your Holiday. Indigo will not accept any additional activities or bookings you have arranged at your own expense.
PRICING
- Indigo reserves the right to change the price of your booking before your booking is confirmed. Any such changes will be communicated to you.
- Indigo reserves the right to correct pricing errors after confirmation. In the unlikely event of a pricing error, or a change in circumstances by third parties, we will notify you of the correct price and you will have the option to pay the correct price, or cancel the booking with full refund.
PAYMENTS
- You will pay Indigo the sum specified in your booking summary.
- The default invoice payment currency is in GBP (£).
- If the payment or the payments are not made from an account or a card in your name, Indigo reserves the right to request authorisation from the account holder.
CANCELLATION AND VARIATION POLICY
- Indigo devotes a lot of attention to prior preparation, communication and coordination of your booking. However, some minor changes to your booking, such as detailed itinerary amendments due to weather conditions, lack of space in marinas, local restrictions etc, may lead to changes closer to the time of your Personal Development & Sailing Holiday. Such minor alterations will only be made to ensure your holiday is as enjoyable and safe as possible.
- If you would like to change any aspect of your booking, you must inform us as soon as is reasonably possible. You will be responsible for any additional costs we incur in catering for the changes you request. For the avoidance of doubt:
- Skippers cannot under any circumstances be removed and are mandatory
- We cannot move other Crewmates assigned to your yacht
- In the event you wish to make changes to the cabin type, or to the date of a booking, changes will be made entirely at the discretion of Indigo and we reserve the right to charge an administration fee which might be up to £500 depending on the date when the change has been requested and/or approved in writing by Indigo.
- Kindly note that Indigo may not be able to cater for some changes you might wish to make because all changes are subject to the availability of suppliers. Indigo will undertake reasonable efforts to try to accommodate requested changes, but such will be conducted only at Indigo’s discretion.
Cancellation by you
- If you decide to cancel your booking;
- You must inform Indigo in writing as soon as possible. Your booking will not be cancelled until Indigo receives your notice of cancellation in writing. When you have submitted your cancellation in writing, you must follow-up by telephone during Indigo’s regular office hours to check that we have received your cancellation.
- If you cancel your Booking with Indigo, the following minimum cancellation charges (as a percentage of the total booking cost) shall apply:
- From the Booking date to no later than 8 days after the Booking date – 0%
- From 9 days after the Booking date to no later than 30 days after the Booking date – 30%
- From 31 days after the Booking to the Arrival date – 100%.
- You will also be liable to pay any cancellation charges imposed by Suppliers or any other costs incurred by Indigo. Indigo may use the money that you have previously paid to cover cancellation charges or to pay charges imposed by a supplier without the refund to you. Indigo will take reasonable steps to ensure that all costs and losses are kept to a minimum.
- In any circumstances giving rise to cancellation, we will consider allowing you to transfer the money you have paid, to some other Indigo Service or Holiday you choose. But whether we allow you to do so is at our discretion, for which we do not have to give a reason.
- Your travel insurance policy may cover cancellation charges, please check your individual policy.
Note: we strongly recommend that you take out holiday insurance which covers the cost of cancellation.
Cancellation by Indigo
- Indigo reserves the right to cancel your booking under any circumstances. If Indigo cancels your booking, you will be entitled to a full refund of all the sums paid for the booking till the date of cancellation. Where Indigo is subject to unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances (being a situation beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Such circumstances include but are not limited to dangerous weather conditions, pandemic, coronavirus, epidemic fire, natural disaster, industrial actions, war and riots), your rights under these terms may be different and may allow us to postpone refunds, to offer refund credits, and, in some circumstances, to withhold refunds and issue a Refund Credit Note with an end date at which time a full refund can be issues. Under such circumstances, exact amounts will depend on the date and circumstances of the cancellation and will be explained to you at the time of cancellation.
- Indigo will not cancel your booking after the due date for payment of the final instalment unless you fail to pay your balance or in a case of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances.
- Because we make travel arrangements so far in advance, we sometimes have to change an arrangement and occasionally even cancel a Holiday. If that happens , we will always inform you as soon as possible about any change. The following terms apply:
- We will always inform you as soon as possible about any change. If that happens you may:
- accept the change; or
- accept our offer of alternative travel arrangements of a comparable standard; or
- cancel your booking, whereupon we will give you a full refund of all money paid.
- We will not compensate you for minor changes outside our control.
- Provided your final payment has been made we will cancel your travel arrangement only in circumstances where we have no choice but to do so.
MINIMUM PARTICIPANTS REQUIRED FOR THE HOLIDAY
- As stated on our website, a minimum number of participants are required in order for the Holiday to go ahead. Therefore, we have a right to cancel any Holiday for which there are insufficient reservations.
- In the event of any such cancellation, all deposits or other payments made specifically to Indigo will be refunded in full.
- We reserve the right to cancel any Holiday, for which there are not enough bookings, not less than 60 days prior to the departure date. In the event of our cancellation, your deposit (and any other payment you may have made to us) will be refunded in full, or, if you prefer, transferred to an alternative Indigo Holiday.
TRANSFERRING YOUR BOOKING
If you would like to transfer your booking from one person to another, the following terms apply:
- The transferee must satisfy any special conditions or qualifications applicable to the Holiday.

If we are able to confirm a special request, we will do so in writing within a week from receiving your special request.
- We cannot accept conditional bookings, i.e. bookings which are conditional on the fulfilment of a particular request. All such bookings will be treated as “standard” bookings.
- Sailing requires a reasonable level of physical mobility and Indigo’s personal development activities can also be mentally challenging. If you or any member of your party has any medical condition, or disability, which may affect your sailing trip or has any special requirements as a result of any medical condition, or disability, (including any which affect the booking process), please tell us before you confirm your booking so that we can assist you in considering the suitability of the arrangements and/or making the booking.
- In any event, you must give us full details in writing at the time of booking and whenever any change in the condition or disability occurs. You must also promptly advise us if any medical condition or disability which may affect your holiday develops after your booking has been confirmed. If we reasonably feel unable to properly accommodate the particular needs of the person concerned, we must reserve the right to decline their reservation or, if full details are not given at the time of booking or the condition / disability develops after booking, cancel when we become aware of these details.

LIMITATIONS ON OUR LIABILITY
- We want you to enjoy a perfect holiday with Indigo Sails. We shall do our best to make this experience special for you. Nonetheless, we must make clear the limitations in law.
- If we fail to provide the Holiday set out on our website or in our brochure and to which these terms apply, we will pay you appropriate compensation. We are not liable if any failure is due to:
- your own carelessness or negligence in any aspect of your behaviour whilst on Holiday;
- medical emergencies;
- laws, culture and standards of service and behaviour in any country we may visit;
- changes we reasonably make to an itinerary or to accommodation or any other aspect of the management of your booking;
- any third party unconnected with the provision of travel arrangements where we could not reasonably have foreseen or avoided those circumstances;
- any other unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control;
- a specific event or series of events which we or our contractors or providers could not reasonably have foreseen or prevented;
- We and you are subject to international conventions, when they apply. This may limit the amount of a claim you may make, against us or anyone else.
- The services and features included in your booking are those specified in our website.
- It is a condition of this contract that you take out a policy of travel insurance for every trip outside the UK, or country of residence. You alone are wholly responsible for arranging your insurance. The period of cover should start no later than the date you make your booking with us.
PASSPORT, VISA AND IMMIGRATION REQUIREMENTS
- It is extremely important that you obtain and carefully check travel and immigration documents required for each country you visit. You alone are responsible for obtaining the required travel documents for your party. We do not accept responsibility for any delay or problem which may occur in this connection. If we have local representation at the time of any such problem, we will assist you as far as reasonably possible. However, for the benefit of other people on that holiday, it will not be possible to delay or change travel arrangements or events which will affect others in the Indigo group.
HELP WE NEED FROM YOU
Your information pack will provide details about your chosen Holiday, but the following are contractual matters:
- Indigo Sails Holidays require reasonable physical fitness and appropriate footwear. You should be prepared to walk up to a couple of miles a day, sometimes on uneven or slippery surfaces.
- To satisfy the majority of our clients, we apply “no smoking” rules in the same way that they are applied by law in the UK. Please note however, that smoking is permitted in some locations we may visit, so we cannot prevent third parties from smoking in a bar or restaurant.
- If we provide medical help to you, whether or not you specifically ask for it, we will provide receipts for all costs (for your insurer) and you now agree to repay us that cost on your return from the Holiday.
- If at any time, it is our opinion (given by any of our staff or representative) that you are acting in a way which may cause accident, injury, discomfort or extreme displeasure to any other member, we may exclude you from the programme for the remainder of the Holiday. You will understand that this extreme action will not be taken lightly but may be necessary to protect the health, safety or enjoyment of other travellers. Kindly note that in a given case you will not be refunded.
TERMS & CONDITIONS OF THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS
- Many of the services we provide, including options which may occur from time to time during your Holiday, are provided by third parties and not directly by us. Each has their own terms and conditions. Whilst the law provides that we are liable to you in the round, for any failure connected with such a provider, our obligations do not cover every contractual term.
- Accordingly, instances may arise where you have no redress, for example, in the purchase of locally produced goods. If our representative warns you of a possible problem, for example related to food, and you choose not to take that advice, then we are not liable for any problem which may arise.
MISCELLENIOUS MATTERS
- Indigo Sails takes your privacy seriously and will only use your personal data in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 as fully described in Schedule [1] to this agreement.
- If any term or provision of this agreement is at any time held by any jurisdiction to be void, invalid or unenforceable, then it shall be treated as changed or reduced, only to the extent minimally necessary to bring it within the laws of that jurisdiction and to prevent it from being void and it shall be binding in that changed or reduced form. Subject to that, each provision shall be interpreted as severable and shall not in any way affect any other of these terms.
- Any obligation in this agreement intended to continue to have effect after termination or completion shall so continue.
- No failure or delay by any party to exercise any right, power or remedy will operate as a waiver nor indicate any intention to reduce that or any other right in the future.
- The parties agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
- In the event of a dispute between the parties to this agreement, then they undertake to attempt to settle the dispute by engaging in good faith with the other in a process of mediation before commencing arbitration or litigation.

- Any communication to be served on either of the parties by the other shall be delivered by hand or sent by first class post or recorded delivery or by e-mail.
It shall be deemed to have been delivered: |
If delivered by hand: on the day of delivery; |
If sent by post to the correct address: within 72 hours of posting; |
