Any modifications or amendments must be in writing and signed by both parties. Any current or prior representations, understandings, or oral statements—including, but not limited to, those made in sales brochures, sales materials, or by sales representatives regarding incentives or any matter related to the Villa—shall have no force or effect unless explicitly included in the special terms section of their respective contract or program and approved by VVR. These terms and conditions may be executed in one or more counterparts, including via portable document format (PDF), each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

FRIENDS AND FAMILY BENEFITS
Resident Owners and Residents who rent segments through VVR accrue seven (7) days of complimentary Family & Friends benefits each quarter (90 days), totaling twenty-eight (28) days of complimentary F&F benefits per calendar year; qualifying Residents are those who have booked a minimum of 540 days (1.5 years) in segments. Residents must accrue their days before using but can use negative accrue upon approval. Complimentary Friends and Family benefits are subject to change at the sole discretion of VVR.

Outside of accrued benefits, Residents can also rent friends and family villas for $33 per person per day, subject to availability, up to 2 weeks at a time and subject to an administration fee. Stays exceeding fourteen (14) days are subject to the prevailing market rate at the time of booking.

F&F Program Intent: This program is designed exclusively to allow Residents to share the experience of long-term sailing with family and close friends, providing opportunities to reconnect with loved ones, while at sea. It is not intended for guests seeking to avoid standard pricing or as a means of extended or recurring accommodation.

Responsibility: The Resident is fully responsible for family and friends staying onboard whether Resident is onboard or not, including but not limited to, all outstanding expenses, fees, and/or damages, all of which will be charged against the Resident’s onboard account. VVR has the sole discretion to remove friends and family in the event of inappropriate, unruly, or violent behavior. Illegal activity will result in expulsion and be reported to the appropriate authorities.

MEDICAL SERVICES
The ship is equipped with limited medical facilities and staffed by internationally accredited medical personnel who are independent contractors as VVR is not a medical provider. Any interactions with medical providers in port or onboard are done so at the sole risk and cost (beyond standard medical visits) of the Resident and provided for the convenience of the Resident, work directly for the Resident, and are not acting under the supervision or control of VVR. Although standard medical visits and customary emergency room fees, medications, procedures, and charges may apply for medical services and are dictated by the services performed by the medical staff. Residents acknowledge that medical care and medical evacuation may not always be available in port or while at sea. VVR assumes no liability for treatment, failure to treat, misdiagnoses, diagnosis, any alleged or actual malpractice, examinations, advice, or other services provided by the medical staff, and any additional expenses to you incurred by such services. Complimentary medical visits include standard visits necessary if the Resident is feeling unwell or has been injured. Routine care or necessary ongoing medical visits beyond the standard visits will be charged an additional fee. VVR recommends that Resident obtain independent medical insurance.

Residents needing special services during the voyage, or needing to travel with any medical apparatus, including wheelchairs, motorized scooters, etc., must advise VVR in writing at the time of initial payment to determine if VVR ship has the capacity or capability to accommodate their needs.

Each Resident is responsible for managing their own health and mobility requirements throughout their stay. This includes ensuring they bring and utilize any necessary medical equipment, such as canes, walkers, wheelchairs, or other mobility aids, to independently navigate the ship and participate in shore excursions. Residents must also be capable of self-care or make their own arrangements for any personal assistance needed, at their own expense.

Please note some ports of call may not be suitable for Residents with limited mobility and in such cases, may preclude debarkation for any individual with limited mobility, with or without the aid of a wheelchair or motorized scooter. VVR has the right to refuse or revoke passage to anyone who, in its judgment, is in a physical, mental, or emotional condition unfit for travel or whose comfort on board may be compromised due to situations beyond the care that can be provided by VVR. VVR does not offer medical insurance, and any medical procedures or medications required in addition to the standard health visit will be at cost.

NOTICE TO BOARD
Providing accurate and timely information is essential for smooth operations and effective manifest management. Your cooperation ensures streamlined processes and allows us to serve you efficiently.
Residents must provide a minimum of 72 hours’ notice for embarkation or disembarkation. This applies to all travel plans, including overland tours or excursions where a Resident intends to disembark at one port and rejoin the ship at another.

Smoking in a Villa or balcony represents a serious fire and safety hazard to all Residents and staff.

Failure to comply with this requirement will result in a written warning and subsequent violations will have a $500 fine per incident charged to the Resident’s onboard account. Repeated violations may lead to disembarkation at the next port.

Residents choosing to disregard this policy will be disembarked at the next port of call and may also be subject to additional fees that will be imposed to cover the costs associated with any damage to and the required cleaning of furnishings, balconies, and surrounding deck, and accommodation areas. All areas other than those specified as Designated Smoking Areas will remain smoke-free. Residents are welcome to use Cigars, Pipe smoking, and Electronic Cigarettes in designated smoking areas.

ALCOHOL POLICY AND RESPONSIBILITY
Residents may bring alcohol onboard; however, VVR reserves the right to prohibit or limit the amount of alcohol brought onboard at any time if abuse is identified. VVR encourages responsible drinking. Any disruptive, dangerous, or destructive behavior resulting from alcohol consumption will result in a formal warning, and the Resident may lose the privilege to bring alcohol onboard and limited to consumption. Continued or severe misconduct following a warning may lead to removal from the ship at the Resident’s expense. VVR disclaims any liability for incidents or injuries arising from alcohol misuse, including harm to oneself or others, and reserves the right to impose restrictions on alcohol privileges as deemed necessary to maintain a safe and secure environment for all Residents.

GRATUITIES

Naturally, Residents may decide on additional gratuities while onboard the ship at their sole discretion.

The Front Desk will have more information onboard.

CABIN RESALE & TRANSFER
Owners have the right to sell their cabin at any time after launch. Any transfer of ownership must be coordinated with VVR to facilitate the proper assignment of the Ownership Purchase Agreement to the new owner. An administration fee of $1,500 will apply to process the transfer. Until the sale is officially completed, all maintenance fee obligations remain the responsibility of the current owner. For more details on the resale process and requirements, Owners should contact their designated VVR Advisor.

RENTAL RESTRICTION CLAUSE
Authorized Rental Participants: Only Owners under the Ownership Purchase Agreement are permitted to rent their cabins to third parties. Voyagers, segment purchasers, Endless Horizons, Tour La Vie, Seasonal Ownership, or any other program participants—including but not limited to those under the Voyager Rental/Reservation Agreement, Endless Horizons Program, or any other agreement—are strictly prohibited from renting their cabins to others.

Protection of VVR Contracts & Revenue: Owners shall not solicit, approach, or otherwise attempt to rent their cabin to any Resident, Voyager, or segment purchaser who holds an active contract with VVR. If a Resident or segment purchaser has a contractual agreement with VVR, that contract takes precedence and cannot be canceled or replaced by an Owner rental.
Furthermore, any Resident who has previously held a direct contract with VVR is permanently ineligible to rent through an Owner, even after disembarkation and completion of their VVR contract. Any attempt to bypass this restriction by applying through an Owner will result in automatic denial of their application.

Enforcement & Compliance: No exceptions to this policy will be granted. VVR reserves the right to refuse bookings, deny embarkation, and take any necessary legal or financial action against violations of this clause, including but not limited to termination of the Owner’s rental privileges.

Liability Disclaimer: Any issues arising between Renters and Owners—including but not limited to disputes over payments, refunds, cancellations, itinerary changes, or other obligations—are solely the responsibility of the Renter and respective Owner. VVR assumes no liability, involvement, or responsibility for any such matters. Owners who rent out their cabins do so at their own risk and must ensure compliance with this clause at all times.

BACKGROUND CHECKS:
For the safety and security of all Residents, VVR reserves the right to conduct a one-time background check on all prospective and current Residents, guests, and visitors. This check may include, but is not limited to, a review of criminal history and other relevant information.

Resident acknowledges that these directives may change from time to time and that VVR’s COVID-19 Policies and Procedures may therefore change. Resident expressly agrees to comply not only with the COVID- 19 Policies and Procedures as they are described herein but also as they are set forth on Villa Vie Residences Incorporated brand website at www.villavieresidences.com, at all times including pre-embarkation, while onboard, during port calls and shore excursions and/ or final disembarkation. In case of any conflict between the COVID-19. Policies and Procedures described herein or on the Villa Vie Residences Incorporated brand website, website shall govern. Residents must abide by VVR’s COVID-19 Policies and Procedures.

(b) VVR highly recommends that Residents consult with a personal physician prior to embarkation and review the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”) website for updated information. CDC has identified elderly persons and persons with certain chronic medical conditions as being at increased risk of life-threatening complications from being infected with COVID-19. Residents may be exposed to communicable illnesses, including but not limited to influenza, COVID-19, colds, and norovirus while onboard the ship as well as traveling to/from the ship, during shore excursions, in terminals, and during activities. Residents accept that exposure to communicable illnesses and other diseases is inherent in activities where individuals interact or share common facilities and is beyond the control of VVR. Under this circumnavigation Agreement, Resident knowingly and voluntarily accepts these risks including the risk of serious illness or death resulting from such exposure, and/or all related damages, costs, expenses, and losses of any nature whatsoever.

(c) Upon embarkation and at any time during the circumnavigation, VVR may require that Residents provide a truthful and complete health questionnaire containing any and all health or travel-related questions required by VVR in its sole discretion. VVR may perform routine or periodic testing and temperature checks of each Resident. VVR reserves the right at any time to modify capacity rules for activities (including but not limited to restaurants, gyms, entertainment events, and shore excursions) in the event it determines that normal capacities may present unsafe exposure to Residents. If required to prevent illnesses onboard, VVR may require mandatory use by each Resident (except where a medical exemption is provided by the onboard Doctor), of face coverings in public locations outside of the Resident’s villa, during embarkation, disembarkation, and shore excursions. VVR also retains the right to confine a Resident to their Villa if they have been determined to be carrying a communicable disease or provide emergency disembarkation of the Resident if, in VVR’s sole discretion, such steps are necessary to prevent or slow the spread of COVID-19.

(d) Any noncompliance by the Resident, Guest, or Visitor with VVR’s COVID-19 Policies and Procedures shall be grounds for refusal to embark, or re-embark after going ashore, quarantine onboard the ship, reporting to government or health authorities, disembarkation, or other steps that are determined to be necessary in VVR’s sole discretion under the applicable circumstances, to protect the wellbeing and health of others. Under these circumstances, Resident shall not be entitled to a refund or entitled to compensation of any kind. Residents will be responsible for all related fines and costs, including without limitation, travel expenses and for necessary travel documentation required by any port, or for departure from or arrival to the Resident’s country of residence. In no event, will VVR be liable for any damages or expenses whatsoever incurred by any Resident, as a result of VVR’s decision to refuse reboarding, quarantine, disembarkation, or any other decisions taken by VVR.

(e) If a Resident tests positive for COVID-19, influenza, or any other communicable disease while onboard, VVR, in its sole discretion may require the Resident to be quarantined in their villa and may refuse disembarkation in any port to such Resident to prevent the spread of any communicable illness. If it is deemed necessary to disembark the Resident due to a COVID- 19 infection that requires onshore medical treatment, and the Resident is unable to reboard the ship within 30 days, then the Resident will be entitled to a refund only for the unused portion of the circumnavigation. Any expenses incurred by the Resident including related costs, fines, and travel expenses are the sole responsibility of the Resident and under no circumstances will be the responsibility of VVR.
