We stand by the work provided by pre-screened Vendors that Renters contract with through our platform and we strive to create the best possible experience for Renters & Vendors. We understand, however, that unexpected things can happen and while AnchorsBook is not a party to the contract between any Vendor and any Renter, we want to ensure your AnchorsBook experience keeps you coming back.
At AnchorsBook, we stand behind every watercraft outing with our Protection Promise, so you can be confident you’re getting a high level of service every time.
Here’s an overview of the AnchorsBook Protection Promise. You can find the full details further below.
AnchorsBook Protection Promise – The Details
Important Note
This AnchorsBook Protection Promise sets out our policies and practices in assisting Renters but remains subject to the limits and exclusions provided in our Terms & Conditions and in no way changes or expands the role of our Service as a platform to connect Requesting Renters with Vendors. We do not accept responsibility for any rental by a Vendor and the AnchorsBook Protection Promise does not create any contractual relationship or liability for AnchorsBook in connection with a Requesting Renters with a Vendor. Filing a Claim under the AnchorsBook Protection Promise in no way restricts your ability to seek a recourse directly from the Vendor with whom you contracted for the Job.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given in the General Terms of Service.
1. About our Renter Protection Promise
If you are not reasonably satisfied with the performance of the Vendor you have Requested through our Services, you may submit a claim (“Claim“) to us in accordance with this AnchorsBook Protection Promise. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that your Claim meets all eligibility requirements (“Eligibility Requirements“) as provided herein, we will endeavor to resolve the problem in the manner determined by us, which may include using the same or another Vendor to attend the pickup location and fix the problem, or reimbursing you for the Rental Payment amount you have paid for the Vendor’s Service in kind or by applying credits redeemable towards future rentals to your User Account.
2. Eligibility Requirements
We reserve the right to review or consider only those Claims that meet all Eligibility Requirements provided herein and are under no obligation to review or consider a Claim or notify a Requesting User who has filed a Claim that does not meet the Eligibility Requirements as follows:
- AnchorsBook User Account and Compliance. You must have a User Account with AnchorsBook and must be and at all times during the claim process remain in full compliance with our Terms & Conditions and the terms of this AnchorsBook Protection Promise.
- Rental Service(s) Requested and Performed Through the AnchorsBook Platform. You must have connected with the Vendor with whom you contracted to provide the Rental that is the subject of your Claim through our Services and your User Account. For clarity, any work done by a Vendor that was performed as a result of contact or follow up with a Vendor by phone, text, or otherwise without placing a Request is considered outside the scope of our Services. Your Claim will not be eligible for the AnchorsBook Protection Promise if you connected with a Vendor outside our Services to provide any part of the Rental that is the subject of your Claim. All work done pursuant to the Request that is the subject of your Claim must have been Requested by you while logged in to your User Account, Accepted by a Vendor through our Services, and performed only by that Vendor. If more than one Vendor is required to complete the Rental Requested, you or the originally contracted Vendor must request additional Vendors through our Service. If, in connection with the Vendor underlying your Claim, you choose to hire or contract with additional worker(s) without making a Request through our Service, your Claim will not be eligible for the AnchorsBook Protection Promise.
- No Alterations or Modifications. You must not alter or modify any parts, equipment, engine or body of the Vendors watercraft, except to the extent reasonably necessary to minimize damage resulting from your Claim. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have materially altered or modified any of the watercraft parts or equipment provided by the Vendor relating to your Claim and that your alteration or modification in any way contributed to the problem or issue, your Claim will not be eligible for the AnchorsBook Protection Promise.
- No Work or Recommendations Declined. If, during the Rental or dispute, the Vendor makes reasonable recommendations to address the problem identified in the Request or Claim or any other problems that may have been discovered in the course of the performance of the Rental (the “Recommended Services“) and you declined the Recommended Services, or any part thereof, your Claim will not be eligible for the AnchorsBook Protection Promise to the extent we determine, in our sole discretion, that the Recommended Services may have addressed part or all of your Claim.
- Payment for Rental. You must have paid in full for the Rental that is the subject of your Claim. Your Claim will not be eligible for the AnchorsBook Protection Promise if you seek to stop payment for any Rental, such as by contesting or refusing the related charge to your credit card.
- Claim Submitted Within Thirty (30) Days. If you choose to submit a Claim under the AnchorsBook Protection Promise, you must do so in accordance with the process described herein and within thirty (30) days after the last day of the rental performed as logged by the Vendor. Any Claims filed after the 30-day deadline will not be eligible for the AnchorsBook Protection Promise.

Further, you understand and agree that if you fix or repair (or hire another service provider to fix or repair) any problem that resulted in the filing of your original Claim with us prior to us processing and resolving your Claim, your Claim will be automatically disqualified and you will be ineligible to receive any protection or payment from us for that Claim, unless such fix or repair was necessary to mitigate immediate damage or worsening of a situation (such as loss of electricity or water, or water damage).When we receive your Claim, we will decide whether it is eligible for protection under the AnchorsBook Protection Promise (an “Eligible Claim“). If your Claim is an Eligible Claim, we will choose the appropriate resolution. We reserve the right to determine that your Claim is not an Eligible Claim and will notify you of your Claim’s ineligibility by email to the email address you have provided in your User Account.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without in any way restricting the limits and exclusions set out in the General Terms of Service, the maximum amount we will incur, reimburse, or credit you for a Claim under the AnchorsBook Protection Plan will not exceed CDN $1,000 in the aggregate, regardless of the amount of damage claimed. If we decide to remedy the problem or seek alternative estimates for repair of the problem, you agree that you will cooperate with such efforts, including providing access to the Premises, meeting with the Vendor(s) identified by AnchorsBook to correct the identified problem(s), and providing complete and accurate information to any necessary third party about the Rental and your attempts to resolve the Claim.
We reserve the right to remedy your Eligible Claim under the AnchorsBook Protection Promise in the manner we determine, including by paying the Vendor directly to fix the problem, by mailing you a check, or by otherwise crediting your User Account.
