7. The Fit for use certificate shall not be issued before the completion of the Marina works, envisaged for 31/12/2019. 

8. If the works are not completed by 31/12/2019, and therefore the Mooring Places and Parking Spaces forming the subject of the Contract are not usable within the aforementioned deadline, the User may withdraw from the Contract with the right only to receive the amounts paid in return, without any interest and without the right to compensation for damages or indemnity of any kind. 

Intuitu personae

9. This Contract is entered into intuitu personae and the User may therefore not transfer it to third parties, nor may the Mooring Place or Parking Space be transferred to third parties, without prior authorization from the Company. 

10. In the case of the User being a legal person, which intends selling its company, or a branch thereof, in which the Contract is included, the User shall send the Company: 

∙ notification, which is also signed by the third party buyer, with authorization to process personal data pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003; 

∙ a copy of the current General Conditions and Specific Conditions, including the Regulation - if adopted in the meantime - signed by the third party buyer, in acceptance and as an undertaking of its precise compliance; 

∙ copy of the third party buyer's valid identity document, or in the case of a company, a copy of the document proving the company's existence, tax identification code, the registration in public registers, and a copy of the legal representative's identity document. 

11. On receipt of the aforementioned notification, the Company may withdraw from the Contract within three months from the news of the transfer, should there be just cause, as per Art. 2558, paragraph 2 of the Italian Civil Code. In this case, the User shall only be entitled to a refund of an amount calculated according to the following formula:

Cancellation of the concession

12. The User declares that it is cognisant pursuant to Art. 42 of the Naval Code, that due to supervening specific reasons inherent to the use of the sea or for other reasons of public interest, the competent administrative authority may re-voke the maritime state-owned property concessions to the Company before its natural expiry, and that as a result of said cancellation, the Mooring contract and Port Services would also become invalid; in this case the User shall not be entitled to refunds, compensation or indemnity of any kind. 

Port Services

13. For the term of the Contract, the Company shall be responsible for managing the Port Services. 

14. The General Services are essential for the safe and efficient operation of the Marina and may not be waived by the User and its assignees. 

15. The User may not refuse to pay for the General Services, even by claiming not to use said services. 

16. Having noted the objective difficulty of establishing the procedures for calculating and paying the fee for General Services, the Specific Conditions of the Contract record a flat-rate fee for these services, which is set for the calendar year during which the Contract is entered into. The fee shall be paid by the User every year, in advance in a single installment; for the first year or for the relative installment, the payment shall be due as soon as the User receives the Marina's Fit for use notification, albeit provisional, and the notice that it is possible to use the Mooring Place. 

17. The fee for the services set in the Specific Condition for the current calendar year in which the Contract is entered into, shall be revised annually as from 1 January of the next year at a rate of one point five percent (1.5%), added to a coefficient calculated as follows: 

∙ for twenty percent (20%), based on the change in the ISTAT consumer price index for families of workers and employee during the previous year; 

∙ for eighty percent (80%), intended on a flat-rate basis as the component of the fee resulting from the expenses incurred by the Company for labour costs, in relation to increases in the relative costs as per the National Col-lective Labour Agreements (CCNL) for the sector the Company belongs to. 

18. The amount calculated annually as set out above shall constitute the basis for the fee payable for the next year, and in particular, for the subsequent update to be carried out using the aforementioned criteria. This shall be paid as from the date that the notice is communicated as per Art. 8. Furthermore, from this point forward the User accepts addi-tional increases to the annual fee as determined above, once again from 1 January of the next year to the signing of this contract, as a consequence of an increase that is not offset by the aforementioned updating criteria, in respect of expenses encumbered to managing the Marina, or supervening new fees, such as for example and not limited to, those relating to the state-owned concession fee, duties, taxes, tariffs, both local and not local, even if introduced on the basis of subsequent regulations, those for new General Services introduced and provided, or for other technical port activities that the competent administrative Authorities deem necessary for the safe and efficient use of the Marina. 

19. The Company is expressly exonerated of any liability for interruptions in the provision of the aforementioned ser-vices or should it be impossible to totally and partially use the Mooring Place or Parking Space, with all risks thus remaining with the User regarding the effective usability of the Marina, unless the event is attributable to a fact or fault of the Company. 

20. The expenses related to the services based on individual demand shall be debited to the User according to the relative tariff that the Company shall periodically issue. 

21. The payment of the above services or whatever else may be owed for ancillary services or other ancillary expenses may not be suspended or delayed by claims or objections by the User, for any cause and reason. 

22.

25. The costs for the removal, towing, haulage, launch, Parking and storage shall be charged to the User, who shall pay these as a condition for the return of the asset. 

26. The Company assumes no obligation for the safekeeping of vessels moored in the Mooring Place or of vehicles parked in the Parking Space and the items there in contained; the User therefore declares that it is cognizant and ac-cepts that the Company is in no way responsible for damages incurred by the vessel or vehicle, caused by meteoro-logical events, acts of vandalism, theft or other damage caused by third parties. 

Free loan for use

27. For a period of not more than 30 consecutive days, and for not more than 60 non-consecutive days a year, the User may allow third parties to moor in the Mooring Place or park in the Parking Space, free-of-charge, prior to written communication provided to the Company with the third parties' details.

Failed use

29. In the case of failing to use the Mooring Place or the Parking Space, the User may entrust the Company with trans-ferring the associated Mooring or Parking rights to third parties on a monthly or annual basis, according to the tariffs set annually by the Company. If the Company should find an interested third party, it shall collect the amount due, which it shall pay to the User, withholding a percentage to be agreed on as commission and refund of the general ex-penses incurred, which shall not be less than 10% (ten percent) of the amount paid by the third party. 

30. It remains understood that the Company shall not assume any obligation to achieve a result in this regard and that the temporary management does not exonerate the User from the obligations set out in the Contract. 

31. The Contract is deemed to be legally terminated pursuant to Art. 1456 of the Italian Civil Code, with the consequent obligation to return full and free availability of the Mooring Place or Parking Space to the Company, in the case of: 

∙ delays of over 3 (three) months in payments by the User regarding the general expenses and/or ancillary ser-vices and/or other amounts payable to the Company, based on the Contract or Regulation; 

∙ failure to comply with the provisions of the Regulation; 

∙ any other serious non-compliance in respect of the obligations set by the Contract, including the legislative pro-visions applicable to the use of the Mooring Place or Parking Space. 

32. In the case of the Contract being terminated, no compensation, indemnity, refund, even of part of the fee, advances on the management fee and Port Services fee, shall be due to the User, with any claim to a refund deemed to have been expressly waived, including by way of an agreement based penalty.

33. In the case of succession mortis causa, the heirs and/or legatees of the User replace the User in the Contract.
