BLUEBNC will remit payments due to you hereunder no later than seven (7) days after the end of each calendar month in which the applicable Charter Fees are received for completed Charters. Payment shall be in the form You select when You register for the Service, or subsequently updated as permitted by the Service.

      To ensure proper payment, You are solely responsible for providing and maintaining accurate contact and payment information associated with Your account.
      Any bank fees related to returned or cancelled checks due to a contact or payment information error or omission may be deducted from the newly issued payment. You agree to pay all applicable taxes or charges imposed by any government entity in connection with Your participation in the Service. If You dispute any payment made hereunder, You must notify BLUEBNC in writing within thirty (30) days of any such payment. Failure to so notify BLUEBNC shall result in the waiver by You of any claim relating to any such disputed payment. Payment shall be calculated solely based on records maintained by BLUEBNC.
    2. Captain’s Fee.
      Captains are responsible to set the net amount they wish to charge for their Services. Renter’s are responsible for payment of the Captain’s Fee except on the event of Rental being canceled by Owner as set on the Boat Captain Service Agreement.
