   Terms and Conditions
 
  (1)  These Terms and Conditions are a part of the Flounder Gigging LLC (FGLLC) company policy and appear on each and every single page of the FGLLC web site in the table of contents column. It is sole responsibility of the Client to have inquired about, read and familiarized himself or herself with these Terms and Conditions before the date of the originally-scheduled flounder gigging charter trip begins. The terms and conditions expressed herein apply to the Client and to each member of the Client's charter group (group is also referred to as "Party" herein),

  (2)  The Client is the person who made and paid for the charter reservation and the Client must show up and be present on the flounder gigging charter trip. The Client may not give, sell nor convey in any way the purchased flounder gigging charter to anyone else without the prior and written consent of Flounder Gigging LLC. The failure of the Client to show up and/or be present on the date of the any scheduled charter trip and/or any attempt by the Client to convey in any way the charter trip without the prior, written notice of FGLLC will cause the Client's trip to be cancelled by the Captain at the Client's full expense without exception. The Client must perform the flounder gigging charter trip WITHIN ONE YEAR from the date that the Client actually reserved the trip (not from the original charter trip date) or the trip will be forfeited in full by the Client to FGLLC,

  (3)  The Client and each member of the Clients party must show proper identification to the Captain (Captain Mac Daniel) before the charter trip may begin. Refusal to show identification will cause the Clients trip to be cancelled by the Captain at the Clients full expense,

  (4)  The Captain may require the Client and every legal-aged member of the party to sign a Release of Liability (Release) form before the charter trip may begin. Each member of the party who is less than 18 years of age (Minor) must have a guardian on-board, and such guardian must sign a Release for the minor. Refusal to sign the Release by the Client, any legal-aged member of the party or any legal-aged member of the party for a minor child when requested by the Captain will cause the Client's trip to be cancelled by the Captain at the Clients full expense,

  (5) The Client will forfeit their trip and entire fee paid if they, or any member of their flounder gigging group, shows up drunk or smelling like alcohol in the sole opinion of the Captain,

  (6) IN THE SOLE OPINION of the Captain as authorized by Flounder Gigging LLC, any disorderly conduct (Rude, Aggressiveness, Drunkenness, Complaining, Shouting, Anger, Threats and/or exhibits any unusual and/or out-of-control behavior) by the Client or any member of the flounder gigging group, the charter will be cancelled and/or terminated at DOUBLE the Client's full expense and any monies paid to Flounder Gigging LLC by the Client will be forfeited in full. If the disorderly conduct is serious enough, then the Captain will immediately report the incident and the Client to the appropriate authorities (ie, the local Sheriffs Office, the U.S. Coast Guard, etc) and formal charges being brought against the Client and/or any member of the Client's party,

     (a)  Captain Mac Daniel may give the Client a warning before such termination, but is not required to do so,

     (b)  Based on disorderly conduct as described above, Captain Mac may either cancel the trip before the trip actually begins or may terminate the trip if it has already begun.

     (b)  It is the responsibility of the Client and/or the Client's party to willfully and completely obey any and all instructions of Captain Mac Daniel,

  (7) The Flounder Gigging LLC (FGLLC) charter trip begins at 8:15pm and ends at 12:15pm at the boat dock for the Sunset four-hour charter and begins at 12:30am and ends at 4:30am at the boat dock for the Sunrise charter,

  (8)  It is the sole responsibility of the Client to have obtained proper directions to the boat ramp from FGLLC, and to arrive at the boat ramp on time. No additional time will be given to the Client for arriving late, or not arriving at all. Excuses such as not understanding the FGLLC directions, or not being able to find the boat ramp are not valid. We recommend that the Client physically locate the boat ramp several hours before the charter, preferably in the day-light, to avoid any last minute confusion with directions,

  (9)  FGLLC and/or Captain Mac do not guarantee any results for the Client on the flounder gigging trip. Successfully gigging Flounder, Sheepshead and/or any other legal fish is, in the sole opinion of FGLLC, based on the ability of the Client to spot the fish and accurately gig the fish.

  (10)  FGLLC is not responsible for environmental and/or weather-related factors that may impede the ability of the Client to successfully gig legal fish. These factors may include:
     (a)  Moderate to strong wind and/or rain before or during the charter trip,
     (b)  Cloudy water and/or poor visibility before or during the charter trip,

  (11)  FGLLC and/or Captain Mac Daniel will not issue "make-up charters", "rain checks" nor give the Client "more time" once the charter begins for reasons including, but not limited to, bad weather (rain, wind, hail, etc), poor water visibility and/or Clients expectations of how many fish they feel they should be getting,

  (12) In the event of mechanical breakdown or equipment malfunction after the charter begins, the the Client may be issued a prorated, non-transferable rain check (good for one year from the date of the charter) for the time of the charter remaining when the equipment malfunction began. Only a rain check, and no refund will be issued for mechanical breakdown or equipment malfunction. Such rain check is subject to availability of a FGLLC charter, and prior arrangements must be made with FGLLC.

     (a).  During the charter, Captain Mac may take up to one (1) hour to attempt to repair any such malfunction, if possible, and, if successful, such repair time will be added as "additional time" to the end of Client's current charter.

  (13)  The Client assumes full responsibility any and all actions of any member of the Client's party and will be deemed liable for any inappropriate action of the Client in the sole opinion of FGLLC and/or Captain Mac Daniel.

  (14)  Client will be held fully responsibly for any damages to the boat or property of FGLLC including, but not limited to: Broken light fixtures ($75 each), dropped, bent or lost gigs ($150 each), carpet or other burns from cigarettes or lighted objects and stains from snuff or other possessions of the Client (actual expense of labor, plus materials plus 100% of the sum of the labor plus materials for time of the Captain to oversee the work),

  (15)  Client agrees that he and his party have been given proper instruction on the legal types and sizes of fish available to gig, as well as those not available to gig.

These expenses include but are not limited to the full amount of the Citation, any and all Attorneys fees incurred for FGLLC and/or Captain Mac Daniel to contest the Citation, a $500 fee for EACH court appearance date required of the case whether of not FGLLC and/or Capt Mac Daniel physically appears in court of whether he is represented by an Attorney in court.

     (a)  If at anytime of the Charter the Client gigs an fish deemed to be illegal in any way (ie size or species) the Captain Mac shall have the right to immediately terminate the charter at the full expense of the Client. Any threats, objections or rude behavior as a result of the cancelled charter may consequently result in FGLLC charging the Client for DOUBLE the actual charger amount and/or law enforcement authorities may be contacted ad described above in paragraph #6.

  (16)  Client agrees that:

     (a)  Captain Mac Daniel has offered Client and/or members of Client's party, to wear PFD's (personal flotation devices).
