responsible to make all emergency measures possible, and the Marina does not assume any responsibility for said protection and/or damages to the owner’s boat. The yard will not be responsible for re, theft, vandalism, wind or ice damage and
the owner agrees to hold the yard harmless in the event of such occurrences. We strongly recommend removing or locking of outdrives and outboards to prevent theft. These are prime targets for thieves.

terminate this Agreement (which termination shall not extinguish the Marina’s right to the receipt of the full amount of storage and related charges due under this Agreement), require the removal of the vessel from the premises, and exercise all
such other rights and remedies as are set forth herein or as exist at law or in equity.
• In addition to all other amounts due hereunder, the Storage Customer agrees to pay all costs, fees and expenses (including attorney’s fees), which the Marina may incur in order to enforce any provisions of this Agreement. In addition to all other
rights and remedies hereunder, in the event the Storage Customer fails to pay when due any storage and related fees due under the terms of this Agreement, the Storage Customer agrees that the Marina shall have the right to assert and enforce

and hold harmless Herrington Harbour Marinas from any cost, expenses, damages, and against all claims, demands, and/or damage liability that may be asserted by anyone due to:

administrative courtesy, Herrington Harbour is NOT making any representation as to scope, cost, quality or warranty pertaining to the work provided by the contractors. Further, Herrington Harbour disclaims any liability or losses arising out of such
service(s). Owner acknowledges that any action by HHN in facilitating services as rendered herein does NOT create any agency relationship, either implied or actual, joint venture or partnership between owner, HHN or contractor. You, in exchange

tion. All issues regarding scope, cost and schedule should be coordinated directly with the contractors you have chosen.
