Disclaimer

Swelz is an online marketplace that connects people who own or control private docks, slips, lifts, and moorings (“Hosts”) with people seeking to rent them (“Guests”). Swelz does not own, operate, manage, control, inspect, or endorse any dock, slip, vessel, or other property listed on the Platform. Any rental agreement is solely between the Host and the Guest. Swelz is not a party to that agreement and is not a marina operator, broker, agent, insurer, or maritime service provider.

Listings, descriptions, photos, dimensions, depths, ratings, availability, pricing, and other information are provided by Hosts and other users. Swelz does not verify and does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, legality, safety, quality, or suitability of any listing, dock, or vessel, or the identity, conduct, or trustworthiness of any Host or Guest. The Platform and all content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind.

Operating, docking, mooring, and storing a vessel involve serious inherent risks, including risk of property damage, injury, drowning, and death. By using the Platform, you acknowledge and voluntarily assume all such risks. You are solely responsible for:

• Confirming a dock or slip is safe and suitable for your vessel’s length, beam, draft, and weight before use;
• Safe navigation, docking, and seamanship, and compliance with all maritime rules and conditions (tides, weather, depth);
• Carrying adequate vessel and liability insurance; and
• The conduct of your guests, crew, and passengers.

Nothing on the Platform is legal, insurance, tax, financial, or maritime advice. Local laws on short-term dock rental vary widely and may include zoning, HOA, municipal, permitting, riparian-rights, and licensing requirements. Hosts and Guests are each solely responsible for determining and complying with all laws, rules, permits, and insurance requirements that apply to them.

Swelz is not responsible or liable for any act or omission of any Host, Guest, or third party, or for any damage, theft, loss, injury, or dispute arising from a rental or any interaction between users. Any disputes are between the users involved.

This Disclaimer is part of, and is qualified by, our Terms of Service, including the limitation-of-liability and indemnification provisions. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Swelz disclaims all liability arising from your use of the Platform.
