Where do you find this requirement?

You're required to render assistance to boats in distress unless it puts
you, your crew, or you boat in peril.

Let me ask the question again, since it seems you didn't understand it.
Where do you find this requirement?

46 USC 2034 I believe. Time for you to study up?


Just because you have a contract doesn't mean you're limited
to what you'll insist on collecting.

Simply a wrong statement of the law.

So, what you're saying is that if I have a contract with you, and I decide
not to enforce it, I'm liable somehow????

I'm saying that while you might agree to accept less than the contract
provides, you're generally not entitled to demand more than the contract
provides.

Well, wow. That took how many years of law school to figure out?
