the appropriate authority first, and then the Management

will either make good or secure the property, or will transfer
the Guest to another property, where the original cannot
be secured, and this will be the extent of its liability
to the Guest under such circumstances.
• The Management Company or its representatives may
enter the property at any time, without notice, for the
purposes of protection and/or maintenance of the property.
Whatever possible, the Management Company will provide notice
to the Guest prior to such entrance.
• The Management Company and/or the Owner accept no
liability for personal loss or injury to the Guest during
the rental period. The Guest must ensure that they have

liability for failure of pool heat to provide adequate heating
where pool heat is provided via an electrical heat pump,
and where the outside air temperature drops below 55 degrees

the pool is outside the Management Company’s and Owner’s
control, and is regarded as an act of nature (see below).

liability for acts of violence, nature, fire, flood, war,
civil disobedience, riot or other force majure that may

for the rental period the Owner will offer the Guest a suitable
alternative property of equal size and quality on a different
community (subject to availability). In the event that the
Guest refuses the offered alternative property, then the
Guest may cancel the booking, and the Owner will refund
the total rental fee, less the applicable cancellation penalty
percentage rate.
• Where the property is booked by the Guest and is
subject to a construction discount, which will be clearly
notified on the rental agreement, this discount is the sole
compensation offered to the Guest for any inconvenience
caused.

at the sole discretion of the Management Company and/or
