Resident shall not have the right to assign its rights under the Ownership Purchase Agreement to any other party without the written approval of the VVR that should not be unreasonably withheld. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and all understandings, oral agreements, and representations made prior and related to the Reservation Agreement are void and/or are superseded by this Ownership Purchase Agreement. Any modifications or amendments hereto must be in writing and signed by both parties. Any current or prior representations, understandings, and oral statements, including, without limitation, representations made in sales brochures, sales materials or oral representations made by sales representatives as to incentives or any matter associated with the Villa are of no force or effect unless set forth in the Special Conditions section and approved by VVR. This Ownership Purchase Agreement may be executed in one or more separate counterparts, or by 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:  

As a Resident, you accrue hours for friends and families as per the following calculation: 625 hours / 24 (hours in a day) = 28 days. Owners can use their friends and family immediately; Segment Residents must accrue their days before using. Segment Residents can use negative accrue upon approval. 

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.  

The Resident is fully responsible for friends and family staying onboard whether Resident is onboard or not, including but not limited to, all outstanding expenses, fees, and/or damages. 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. Charges for standard medical visits, such as customary Emergency Room fees, medications, and procedures, are determined based on the services performed by the medical staff. Resident acknowledges 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 incurred by such services. Complimentary medical visits include the initial consultation necessary if the Resident is feeling unwell or has been injured. It’s important to note that the complimentary aspect of our medical services does not extend to routine care and ongoing visits, which encompass follow-up consultations, management of chronic conditions, or any treatments that extend beyond the initial diagnosis and immediate care. Additionally, specialized treatments and procedures, are not covered under complimentary visits and will incur additional charges. VVR recommends that Residents obtain independent medical insurance to cover these potential needs. 

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. 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:  

If Residents disembark for more than 2 weeks, Residents must notify Customer Service at least 2 weeks prior to rejoining the Ship. If a shorter disembarkation or embarkation period becomes required, VVR will make all efforts to accommodate the request but it is not guaranteed.  

If Resident has friends and family coming onboard, VVR must be notified at least 1 month in advance. F&F must have a valid passport and form of payment if staying in a F&F cabin separate from Resident.

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. Resident accepts 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 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.

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 or Resident’s traveling party with VVR’s COVID-19 Policies and Procedures or this Agreement 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.

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.
