Nope. A general hold harmless perhaps. But not a specifically
negotiated one.

Ahh. American business...irresponsible as always.

"We dropped your boat, but it isn't our fault."


Serves them right if they are foolish enough to sign a contract stating
the
company is not responsible for damages if they drop your boat. Anyone
in
their right mind would cross out that part of the contract before they
signed it.




Better yet would be large signs outside and inside the marina, saying
"we're not responsible if we drop your boat."

If that is their attitude, they need to be in another business.


Have you read all the fine print on the back of the Breezy Point contract?

I won't discuss the stupidity of the post to which you responded!

Yes John, it is stupid to cross out ridiculous clauses in a contract before
signing it (in your case, a statement that says the marina is not
responsible for damages if they dropped your boat).

Thanks for the good laugh!
