However, for reasons outside the control of MRN including “restraint of the Prince” (decisions of the Monaco Harbour authorities, race organization, etc.), this mooring may change when spaces are officially allocated a few days prior to the Event. MRN may not be held liable in such cases for misrepresentation.

13.     Should a major and unforeseeable incident prevent the boat from entering the Monaco Harbour for the Event (fire on board, engine failure in the days preceding the Event, collision at sea giving rise to a serious hull breach immobilising the boat, etc.), MRN will reimburse payments made by the clients as soon as possible. MRN may not, however, be held liable for damages and/or compensation should the day on board be cancelled for reasons outside its control.

14.     In the event of an unexpected event (“force majeure”), as defined by Monegasque law and case law, preventing performance hereof, however, no money will be refunded to the Client under any circumstances.
