I have been informed and acknowledge that directly or indirectly, I am, or in the future will be, participating in activities provided by Stormy Pirates, LLC, dba Stormy Pirates Boat Charters, which may be aboard one of its vessels, a leased vessel, an affiliate vessel, or a managed vessel. I further acknowledge that boating, sailing, swimming, snorkeling, cliff diving and all other related activities; including the use of docks and facilities utilized in rendering the services and also including traversing the shore at any port of call, involve a certain and significant degree of risk, including the possibility of death or injury to persons or property.

I hereby further agree that this agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the United States Virgin Islands and that any legal dispute will be submitted to mandatory arbitration using the then applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association with respective costs taxed to each party and, if no resolution is reached, and the arbitrator permits the case to proceed, will be brought in the Courts of the US Virgin Islands.
