Accordingly, we will reserve for you the specific Property selected at the time of your reservation upon the receipt of your deposit and signed Agreement.

Notwithstanding Oversee’s efforts, if the specific Property reserved is unavailable for any reason, Guests will be limited to a full refund or similar accommodation at their election.

The rules regarding acceptable noise levels, start and finishing times, and other restrictions relating to any such construction are governed by local ordinances and/or community specific rules and regulations beyond the control of the Manager. As such, Guest shall not be entitled to a refund relating to such construction.

LAW: While visiting the state of Florida the Guest and any of their guests will obey the Florida law, as well as local law, and HOA rules.

EVENTS/GATHERINGS: Guest shall not host events, gatherings, weddings, or parties at the Property without obtaining prior approval from the Manager and payment of additional fees. Some properties and communities do not allow events of any kind. The Event Fee is $150 per occupant of the property’s maximum marketed occupancy. Guests violating this policy will be charged $200 per occupant of the property’s maximum marketed occupancy, plus any additional cleaning expense and may result in immediate eviction and forfeiture of rent.

SALE: In the event that the Property is on the market for sale, we may find it necessary to show the Property during your stay. We will make every effort to schedule the showing at a convenient time so as not to interrupt your vacation.

PERSONAL ITEMS LEFT BEHIND: Oversee is not responsible for lost or misplaced items. However, if notified and/or found within a reasonable time, we will be happy to ship them via UPS Ground Delivery for a $50 fee (unless postage and handling is more). All unclaimed personal items are donated to charity.

SIGHT UNSEEN: Our vacation rental homes are individually owned and furnished. We will not give refunds or adjustments if the Property does not meet your preferences or expectations. We manage clean properties furnished to the Owner’s taste. No two properties are the same. Inventories and furnishings are subject to change without notice.

CREDIT CARD DISPUTE: If a charge from a credit card on file for the reservation is disputed and the Guest loses the dispute, the Guest will be charged an additional $175.

PIRACY AND ILLEGAL DOWNLOADING: The illegal distribution of copyright material including unauthorized peer-to- peer file sharing on Manager owned, operated or maintained networks may subject guests to civil and criminal penalties under federal law. Guests who engage in such activity at a Oversee Property using a network owned, operated or maintained by Oversee will be charged $1000 and may result in immediate eviction and forfeiture of Total Rental Fees.

BICYCLES: If bicycles are at the property, they will be adult bicycles and are only meant for riders 16 and older. If you need a helmet, please call Oversee’s bicycle provider La Dolce Vita at 866-651-1869. Parents and guardians are responsible for ensuring that minor children are in compliance with these safety guidelines. Guests agree to properly secure the bicycles at all times to avoid theft, damage or unauthorized use. This includes ensuring that all bikes are locked and properly secured when they are ridden to another location. Every bike should come with a lock. In the event you don’t have sufficient locks to secure the bikes, please let us know immediately. If a bike is lost during your stay or stolen while bike is not secured with a lock, your credit card or checking account on file will be charged $475.00. Operator agrees that the bicycles will be secured at his/her rental Property overnight and not at any other locations. By entering into this agreement, Guests who occupy properties that provide bicycles further agree to the express terms, conditions, and waivers set forth in the TO HOLD HARMLESS clause.

GOLF CARTS AND LOW-SPEED VEHICLES (“LSV”): Guest/Operator acknowledges that various neighborhoods within the Manager’s rental program have specific rules and regulations pertaining to the use of golf carts and LSV within their community. These rules and regulations vary by community and are strictly enforced in many respects, and they provide fines and penalties that may include, but are not limited to, monetary fines against the Owner of the Property and/or the impounding of the golf cart or LSV by the respective Homeowners Association. Accordingly, Guest/Operator agrees to comply with all community-based rules and regulations specific to the rental Property along with all Florida law. Guest/Operator expressly acknowledges that he/she and any additional operators permitted to use the golf cart and/or LSV, who Guest/Operator will be responsible for, are licensed drivers, over the age of 21, and that they are familiar with the safe operation of golf carts and LSV and are certain of their own ability to operate a golf cart and LSV safely. Because many of the local communities have a no tolerance policy for the operation of golf carts and LSV by persons under 21, which may result in the homeowner’s loss of use of the golf cart or LSV, Oversee has adopted a similar no tolerance policy. If a person under 21 is found to have operated the golf cart or LSV provided, Guest/Operator will be fined $1000. Guest/Operator authorizes Oversee to charge the credit card or checking account on file for any damages, costs, fees or liability resulting from or arising out of the use of the golf cart or LSV in violation of this Agreement, rules and regulations of the applicable Homeowners Association, or Florida law. Operator agrees that the golf cart and/or LSV will only be left at his/her rental Property overnight and not at any other locations. By entering into this agreement, Guests who occupy properties that provide golf carts and/or LSV further agree to the express terms, conditions, and waivers set forth in the TO HOLD HARMLESS clause.

SWIMMING POOLS AND HOT TUBS: Only Guests and their guests are permitted in the pool or pool area. The maximum number of Guests in the pool or pool area is the same as the number that the house sleeps. All Guests must be accompanied by an adult (25 years or older) at all times. Anyone under the age of 25 and non-swimmers must have adult swimmer supervision. Diving is not allowed. No glass containers, disorderly conduct, alcoholic beverages, intoxicated persons, and pets are permitted in the pool or pool area. Keep entry gates closed as you enter or exit the pool area. Do not let children in if an adult does not accompany them. If pool is equipped with an alarm device, do not interfere with or disconnect the alarm device. The pool hours will be 7:00 AM until 10:00 PM, unless the Owner’s Association has established other scheduled times. If pool-heating fee have been paid, heaters are set to 86°. Do not attempt to turn up the heater beyond this setting. Any alterations with pool equipment may result in a $1000 fine, eviction and forfeiture of Total Rental Fees. If the pool has an electric heater, it cannot be operated should temperatures fall below 50°. If the pool has a jetted area, it serves as an extension of the pool and is heated only to 86° if pool heating charges have been paid. Pool heating must be scheduled, be for the entire duration of stay, and paid for at least one week prior to arrival. By entering into this agreement, Guests who occupy properties that provide swimming pools and/or hot tubs further agree to the express terms, conditions, and waivers set forth in the TO HOLD HARMLESS clause.

Guests acknowledge this is a specifically negotiated term and the monetary amount of this Agreement is specifically based upon the inclusion of this provision.
