Exculpatory Clauses. Nearly every Florida marina storage agreement contains an exculpatory clause. The enforceability of an exculpatory clause mainly depends upon the contract’s wording and the bargaining power of the marina and yacht owner.

Exculpatory Clauses Exculpatory Clauses The benchmark case on the exculpatory clause is Xxxxx v. Inland Waterways Corp., 349 U.S. 85 (1955). There, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled than an exculpatory clause was void because it was contrary to public policy. The Defendant in Xxxxx was a towing company that included in the towing contract a clause that all movement was at the “sole risk” of the Plaintiff. The Court opined that such a clause in towing contracts was unenforceable because, (1) negligence must be discouraged by making wrongdoers pay damages and (2) towing companies have the ability to overreach and drive hard bargains, as well as act as a monopoly, based on the need for their services. Exculpatory Clauses Exculpatory clauses seek to completely absolve a party from liability. There exists a split in circuit courts on whether exculpatory clauses under admiralty law are enforceable. Xxxxxx v. Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Investments, 334 F.3d 712 (8th Cir. 2003). Because exculpatory clauses are intended to avoid all liability, even for a party’s own fault, they are closely scrutinized by courts and generally considered against public policy. However, if properly drafted, in some circuits they can be enforced, resulting in no recourse against the exculpating party for loss. Exculpatory Clauses The 9th Circuit, in Royal Ins. Co. v. Southwest Marine, 194 F.3d 1009 (9th Cir. 1999) determined Xxxxx applied only to towing contracts and enforced an exculpatory clause, although it noted a party...
Exculpatory Clauses. A parties attempt to absolve itself from all liability. There is a split among U.S. circuits as to the enforceability of such clauses and they are heavily scrutinized. The 11th Circuit, following the Supreme Court’s decision in Xxxxx, will not allow for total exculpation. Other jurisdictions allow such clauses, however, they must be unequivocal and unambiguous.
