7.  THE RULE OF LAW (INTOXICATED PERSONS):  My Chauffeur recognizes our responsibility to encourage people to enjoy wine (alcohol) in moderation as part of a positive lifestyle. At the same time, we don’t believe that general limitations on production, sales and consumption are the most effective way to address the problem of irresponsible drinking. We believe more specific, targeted actions can achieve the best results.  As a result:

   o     'Hard alcohol' is NOT allowed inside our tour vehicles. 

   o     Only drinking wine or beer responsibly & moderately is allowed inside our tour vehicles. 

   o     If a tour guest is too intoxicated to drive home after the tour, My Chauffeur will, on request, arrange for a driver or a taxi.  See INDEMNITY CLAUSE (#14) below.

If any party member shows signs of excessive intoxication as determined by the chauffeur; any of the following may occur:

a.   All alcohol will be removed from the passenger compartment of the vehicle by the chauffeur.

b.   The tasting room staff will be notified by the chauffeur that this person may be excessively intoxicated. 

c.   The rental agreement may be terminated.  If the termination of the rental agreement is instituted, no refunds will be issued.

d.   If a tour guest is too intoxicated to drive home after the tour, My Chauffeur will, on request, arrange for a driver or a taxi.

8. TIME OF ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE: The Company does not agree to arrive at or depart from any point at a specified time, but will endeavor to maintain the schedule agreed upon. 

9. FORCE MAJEURE: Neither party shall have any liability for any delays, changes of schedule or cancellations resulting directly or indirectly from any act of God, public enemies, authority of law, quarantine, perils of navigations, riots, transportation interruption of any kind, strikes, the hazard or dangers incident to a state of war, accidents, breakdowns, road conditions, weather conditions, and other conditions beyond the Company’s or Customer's control.

10.

Damages to the following will be paid for immediately by charging the following amounts to the customer’s rental agreement:

12. STANDING WHILE BUS IS IN MOTION: Buses may start or stop suddenly.  Due to the nature of the 14 passenger limo bus, and that it is a bus, designed to allow standing, all passengers are requested that they are not to change seats and remain seated at any time the vehicle is in motion.  Furthermore, due to the nature of the 14 passenger bus, and that it is a bus, that allows standing, and that alcoholic beverages are allowed on board, that each passenger “rides at their own risk”.  My Chauffeur will not be responsible for any passenger that injures his or herself in any way while aboard the vehicle or during the rental period.  My Chauffeur will not be responsible for injuries sustained to any passenger, or inflicted by another passenger either accidentally or purposefully.  Charter groups must provide adequate supervision and discipline.
