The Service enables users to discover and purchase charters, tours, excursions, activities, events, and the like (“Experiences“) that are owned, controlled or otherwise made available by third parties (“Experience Providers“) either directly (e.g., by a captain or tour guide) or indirectly.

If you purchase an Experience through the Service, you may be required to pay all amounts payable in connection with the Experience to MYCAPTAIN, however your booking will remain subject to the Experience Provider's terms and conditions in addition to these Terms.
To help MYCAPTAIN run smoothly and to cover the cost of services like 24/7 customer support, we charge a 4% service fee when a booking is confirmed. Before you pay any fees to MYCAPTAIN, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged.

If payment for the Experience is made through MYCAPTAIN, you authorize MYCAPTAIN to charge all sums for the orders that you make as described in these Terms or published by MYCAPTAIN, to the payment method specified in your account.

You are responsible for your use of the Service, and you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless MYCAPTAIN and each of its officers, directors, employees, consultants, affiliates, subsidiaries and agents (together, the “Indemnified Entities“) from and against every claim brought by a third party, and any related liability, damage, loss, and expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, arising out of or connected with: (a) your use of, or misuse of, the Service; (b) your violation of any portion of these Terms, including any representation or warranty, any agreement referenced in these Terms (including an Experience Provider's terms and conditions), or any applicable law or regulation; (c) your violation of any third party right, including any intellectual property right or publicity, confidentiality, other property, or privacy right; or (d) any dispute or issue between you and any third party, including an Experience Provider. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you (without limiting your indemnification obligations with respect to that matter), and in that case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of those claims.
Disclaimers; No Warranties
THE SERVICE AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. MYCAPTAIN DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THE EXPERIENCES, THE SERVICE AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE, INCLUDING: (A) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND (B) ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE. MYCAPTAIN DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE, OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT OFFERED THROUGH THE SERVICE, WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS, VIRUSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, AND MYCAPTAIN DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OF THOSE ISSUES WILL BE CORRECTED. MYCAPTAIN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCURACY, TIMELINESS OR COMPLETENESS OF THE MATERIALS DISPLAYED ON THE SERVICE (INCLUDING ANY THIRD PARTY CONTENT). MYCAPTAIN DOES NOT PROVIDE, OWN, CONTROL OR ENDORSE ANY EXPERIENCES. IT IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE EXPERIENCE PROVIDER OR ITS PARTNERS, AFFILIATES, OR AGENTS TO PROVIDE THE EXPERIENCES. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE SERVICE OR MYCAPTAIN ENTITIES OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING ANY OF THE MYCAPTAIN ENTITIES OR THE SERVICE THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE SERVICE AND YOUR DEALINGS WITH ANY EXPERIENCE PROVIDER. NOTWITHSTANDING the FOREGOING, MYCAPTAIN disclaims any warranty or other right THE DISCLAIMER OF WHICH is prohibited from applicable law.
Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE MYCAPTAIN ENTITIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE EXPERIENCES, YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY MYCAPTAIN ENTITY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 16.4(iii) AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE MYCAPTAIN ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO MYCAPTAIN UNDER THESE TERMS IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO CLAIM; OR (B) $100. ANY DISPUTE YOU HAVE WITH AN EXPERIENCE PROVIDER IS DIRECTLY BETWEEN YOU AND SUCH EXPERIENCE PROVIDER experience provider, AND YOU IRREVOCABLY RELEASE THE MYCAPTAIN ENTITIES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS AND DAMAGES OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTES. EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 15 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and MYCAPTAIN in the most expedient and cost effective manner, and except as described in Section 16.2, you and MYCAPTAIN agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, THE PARTIES ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Exceptions. Despite the provisions of Section 16.1, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
Arbitrator. Any arbitration under these Terms will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“) under it's Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules“) as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting MYCAPTAIN. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
Notice of Arbitration; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration“). MYCAPTAIN's address for Notice is: MYCAPTAIN, Inc., 317 N. Collier Blvd #203, Marco Island, FL 34145. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or MYCAPTAIN may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by a party must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, You will be paid the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered to You in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator's award; or (iii) $10,000.
Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, MYCAPTAIN will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Orange County, Florida, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse MYCAPTAIN for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.
No Class Actions. YOU AND MYCAPTAIN AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and MYCAPTAIN agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If MYCAPTAIN makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to MYCAPTAIN's address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to MYCAPTAIN's address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with MYCAPTAIN will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
Enforceability. If Section 16.6 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 16 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 16 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 17.1 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
General Terms. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and MYCAPTAIN regarding your use of the Service. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. Throughout these Terms the use of the word “including” means “including but not limited to”. If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida without regard to conflict of law principles. You and MYCAPTAIN submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Orange County, Florida for resolution of any lawsuit or court proceeding permitted under these Terms.
Additional Terms. Your use of the Service is subject to all additional terms, policies, rules, or guidelines applicable to the Service or certain features of the Service that we may post on or link to from the Service.
Consent to Electronic Communications. By using the Service, you consent to receiving certain electronic communications from us as further described in our Privacy Policy. Please read our Privacy Policy to learn more about our electronic communications practices. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that those communications be in writing.

Personal Liability Waiver. In consideration for the opportunity and permission to participate in any Experience, you hereby RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE MYCAPTAIN, their affiliates, and each of their respective officers, agents, and employees (“Releasees”) from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, and causes of action whatsoever arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury, including death, that you may sustain, or that any of your property may sustain, while participating in any Experience, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE LOSS IS CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES and regardless of whether the liability arises in tort, contract, strict liability, or otherwise, to the fullest extent allowed by law. You acknowledge that you are fully aware of the risks and hazards connected with the Experiences you choose to participate in, that you are aware that such activities include the risk of injury and even death, and you hereby elect to voluntarily participate in these activities, knowing that the activities may be hazardous to you and your property. You understand that this Section 17 will bind the members of your family and your heirs, assigns, and personal representatives.
