Accidental Damage Waiver Addendum
DAMAGE WAIVER FEE.

NON INSURED PRODUCT

A nonrefundable Damage Waiver Fee is required for all reservations. We require a valid Visa, Master Card, or America Express number on file in addition to the Damage Waiver Fee. The Damage Waiver Fee is a nonrefundable Fee that relieves guest of the cost for unintentional and incidental damage to the rental property and its contents, not to exceed the amount of coverage of $1500. The Damage Waiver Fee does not cover intentional damage, theft, unauthorized entry into the Owner’s supply closet, unauthorized pets, extensive cleaning required at check-out, smoking, exceeding occupancy limits or parking limits, any breach of any of the terms of the rental agreement, including any fines imposed on Manager by the city, county, state or homeowners or condominium association as the result of violation of any law, ordinance, rule or regulation or any fines or costs levied against guest or visitors of guest (Excess Damage Costs). Guest will be notified of any Excess Damage Costs in writing. Any Excess Damage Costs will also be charged immediately to guest’s credit card. Guest assumes full responsibility for any items found to be missing and any damage due to misuse, negligence or action on guest’s or guest’s visitor’s part, except in the case of normal wear-and-tear reported to Manager within 48 hours of Check-in. The Damage Waiver Fee does not substitute for guest’s responsibility to leave the property in appropriate condition. The Damage Waiver Fee does not negate guest’s responsibilities as a responsible renter, nor does it relieve guest from responsibility for intentionally destructive acts of guest or other members of guest’s party while in occupancy. Guest must notify Manager of any damage or theft to the unit during guest’s occupancy or upon vacating.

The property will be carefully inspected after guest’s departure and any damage, theft or other incidents which occur during guest’s occupancy and which have not been disclosed to Manager prior to guest’s leaving will remain guest’s obligation. The maximum aggregate amount of accidental damage that is covered by the Damage Waiver Fee is listed in your rental agreement. Any damage in excess of this amount remains the responsibility of guest. All waivers of theft or damage will be administered by Manager at the property. Manager will have the sole authority to determine the nature and extent of damages, necessary repairs and eligibility for the waiver of liability described herein. Guest must report any theft or damage to the property or its contents prior to checkout or any otherwise applicable damage waiver will be void. TERM OF COVERAGE: The waiver takes effect upon check-in on the booked arrival date to the property, together with receipt of payment of the waiver fee, at or before check-in. All coverage shall terminate upon normal check-out time of the property or the departure of the guest, whichever occurs first.

DAMAGE WAIVER FEE CONDITIONS & LIMITATIONS

The plan will not include liability for damage or theft resulting from the following, whether or not Acts of God or any other cause or action contributed to the damage or theft that occurred:

• Intentional acts of a guest.
• Gross negligence or willful and wanton conduct.
• Theft of or damage to any personal property owned by, or brought onto the premises by guest.
• Theft without a valid police report.
• Damage caused by any pet brought onto the property by guest.
