4. AGE REQUIREMENTS: All of Vunique Vacations vacation accommodations are family properties absent exceptions being explicitly granted by Vunique Vacations. No properties will be licensed to vacationing students or young adults under the age of 25 unaccompanied by a responsible parent or guardian at a ratio of four (4) young adults to one (1) adult over the age of 25. An adult over the age of 25 must be staying in the property at all times. Guests who violate this policy are subject to immediate eviction and forfeiture of all payments made to Vunique Vacations in Vunique Vacations sole discretion. In accordance with Florida Statutes, reservations made under false pretense are null and void and check-in will not be allowed, or guests will be asked to vacate the accommodation. This policy includes reservations made by parents or guardians who do not check-in, and/or who leave overnight during the length of the stay

5. MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY; EVENTS/GATHERINGS: The maximum number of sleeping guests per accommodation is based on the individual accommodation’s ability to house our guests comfortably and safely. If the maximum occupancy is exceeded, you are subject to immediate eviction and forfeiture of all payments made to Vunique Vacations in Vunique Vacations sole discretion. Persons totaling more than the permitted overnight occupancy on the property at any time must be approved in writing by Vunique Vacations and are subject to an event fee and permit. Parties, weddings, catering, third party personal experiences, or similar events or gatherings that are not pre-approved in writing at the time of your reservations by Vunique Vacations may result in immediate eviction and forfeiture of all payments made to Vunique Vacations. In the event that Vunique Vacations pre-approves such event/gathering in writing, Vunique Vacations reserves that right to require you and/or the applicable third party to obtain and provide Vunique Vacations adequate insurance for an amount as determined by Vunique Vacations, which such insurance shall name Vunique Vacations as an additional insured. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree to indemnify and hold Vunique Vacations, its employees and assigns, harmless, from any and all claims, suits, damages, costs, losses, and expenses arising from any injury to persons and/or property occurring on or about the property as a result of such event/gathering.

6. MINIMUM STAY REQUIREMENTS: Most Vunique Vacations properties require a minimum stay of three (3) nights. Some properties will require specific arrival and departure dates depending on availability and time of year. One-week minimum stays may always be required at some properties, due to local zoning or homeowner’s association by-laws. One-week stays may be required during peak seasons and holidays, with Saturday arrival and Saturday departure.

7. SMOKING: Smoking is not permitted in any Vunique Vacations property. Guests who violate this policy will be charged an additional $1,000, plus the expense of any necessary cleaning, deodorizing, or any other mitigation efforts associated. If a Vunique Vacations property must be made unavailable for rent, or an incoming reservation must be relocated due to the smoking damage or mitigation efforts, these expenses will also be charged to the guest. Violations of this policy may result in immediate eviction and forfeiture of all amounts paid to Vunique Vacations.

8. PETS: Only dogs are permitted in pet friendly Vunique Vacations properties. A maximum of 2 dogs are allowed, with a max weight limit of 50 pounds total, unless otherwise approved by Vunique Vacations in writing. No “Dangerous Breeds,” aggressive, or intimating animals are allowed. All animals must be disclosed in writing to Vunique Vacations prior to arrival, and Vunique Vacations must approve all animals prior to arrival. Any animals approved by Vunique Vacations shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. A nonrefundable pet fee, which varies by property, will be assessed for all animals, including emotional support animals. Even in pet friendly Vunique Vacations properties, no animal is allowed in or on a Vunique Vacations property pool, spa, or furniture.

Vunique Vacations does have non-pet friendly properties. Non-Pet Friendly properties indicate that a homeowner does not allow animals in their home. Many times, this is due to severe allergies, asthma, or other medical conditions that could be affected by their presence, even after the fact. In these cases, no animals are allowed in the home for guest reservations.

If Vunique Vacations pet policy is violated, all guests will be immediately evicted from the Vunique Vacations property, all payments received from the guests will be forfeited, an additional $1,000 fee will be billed against the guests, and the guests will be responsible for the expense of any necessary damages, cleaning, or mitigation efforts. Notwithstanding this provision, Vunique Vacations is committed to providing reasonable accommodation to protect the rights of guests with disabilities to bring service animals or emotional support animals under the terms of The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act. If a guest needs a service animal or emotional support animal to ease the symptoms of a disability (as defined under the above Acts), he or she should request a reasonable accommodation, in writing, from Vunique Vacations at the time of their reservation or as soon thereafter as feasible. The request should state that the guest has a disability and explain how the requested accommodation will be helpful. In addition, the guest should include a note from his or her service provider, such as a doctor or therapist, verifying the need for the support animal. Guests need not disclose the details of their disability, nor provide a detailed medical history. Please be advised, claiming a pet as a service animal when it is not, is a criminal offense.

Guests are responsible for the property, its contents, and themselves during occupancy. Guests must lock windows and doors securely when not on the premises. Rearranging the furniture or removing any items from the property is prohibited. Guests shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements to the property, including, without limitation, installing any fixture, apparatus, equipment, paint, or device of any kind in or upon the interior or the exterior of the property, or cut or drill into the property. After check-out, Vunique Vacations will inspect the property for damage, missing items, and abnormally dirty appearance. During that inspection, if Vunique Vacations determines damage is present, items are missing (including garage/gate remotes or property keys), or the property is abnormally dirty, Vunique Vacations will repair the damage, replace the missing items, and/or perform a deep clean of the property at the guest’s expense (unless Vunique Vacations receives written notice of damage, missing items, or abnormal dirtiness from a guest on the same day of arrival). Guest authorizes Vunique Vacations to charge the credit card on file to reimburse it for any such expenses.

10. PAYMENTS and FEES: All reservations are subject to sales tax. All Vunique Vacations reservations are subject to a Cleaning Fee, Linen Fee, Admin Fee, and a Damage Waiver or Security Waiver. Pet fees are applied according to Section 8 of this document. Our fees are subject to change.

11. DAMAGE OR SECURITY WAIVER: Guests are responsible for any damage to the property. Vunique Vacations offers two options to guests to protect against damage to the property: a nonrefundable damage waiver, which is a one-time fee that varies by home; or, a refundable security waiver of $2500. The non-refundable damage waiver covers accidental damage only, up to $2500; and the refundable security deposit of $2500, covers accidental damage only, up to $2500. This is provided such damage is disclosed to Vunique Vacations prior to departure.

Neither the nonrefundable damage waiver or refundable security waiver cover intentional damage, malicious acts, theft, excessive cleaning, negligence, unintentional and incidental damage, flea infestation or damages caused by a pet, or loss of rental revenue because of the property being held off market during mitigation of damages. Damage not reported to Vunique Vacations prior to departure, regardless of its nature, will not be covered and guests will be liable for all costs associated with unreported damage. The guest fully accepts responsibility for all damage caused to the Vunique Vacations property by any act or omission of the guest. Guest gives Vunique Vacations permission to charge the credit card on file for any damages that are not covered by this policy or exceed the limits of covered damages.

Vunique Vacations shall have the right to partner with a third party insurance company for any damage to the Vunique Vacations property, whose services may include conducting a background check(s) on a guest and whose fees shall be charged to the guest out of the nonrefundable or refundable damage deposit collected.

16. DISPUTES: I understand that if there are any disputes or dissatisfaction regarding the vacation rental property paid herein, that said dispute should be taken up directly with Vunique Vacations. I agree that I will not request a chargeback or credit to my credit card in connection with any charge made pursuant to this agreement. I hereby expressly waive my rights to request any chargeback against Vunique Vacations now, and in the future. All complaints must be reported during the duration of stay and not after departing the property. If I do not comply with these terms, and a dispute is filed, I acknowledge that all members of my travel party will be prohibited from renting a property with Vunique Vacations or any of its affiliated brands in the future

17. LICENSE TO OCCUPY; RIGHT TO ENTER: The parties acknowledge that by virtue of this Agreement, Vunique Vacations is granting a revocable license for guest, and guest’s invitees, to occupy the Vunique Vacations property subject to the terms of this Agreement. Vunique Vacations may revoke this license, without refund, at any time guest or guest’s invitees are in default of this Agreement. Upon such revocation, guest will immediately vacate the property. It is mutually agreed and understood that this Agreement is not intended to create a Landlord-Tenant relationship by and between Vunique Vacations and guest and that Florida’s Landlord and Tenant Act in Chapter 83, Florida Statutes, shall not apply. This Agreement is not assignable by guest. Any purported assignment hereof shall be void and of no force or effect. Vunique Vacations reserves the right to cancel any reservation subject to issuing a full refund for any unused portion of the reservation. Vunique Vacations may enter the property at any time and for any reason upon providing guest reasonable notice and may enter the property at any time for an emergency reason without providing guest any notice.

18. SUBLETTING: No Vunique Vacation property may be sublet. Your reservation is not transferable to any other party.

19. TRAVEL INSURANCE: Vacation travel insurance has been made available for purchase with your reservation. Vacation travel insurance provides coverage for the loss of prepaid, non-refundable expenses due to certain unforeseeable circumstances that may jeopardize your vacation investment and force you to incur unplanned expenses. Trip cancellation and trip interruption coverage is available for events such as: a sickness or injury of yourself, family member or traveling companion; flight delays due to adverse weather; interruptions of road service; terrorist acts; and mandatory evacuations. The plan also includes other valuable coverages such as medical and dental, baggage, and emergency assistance and transportation in addition to useful services such as identity theft, concierge and 24/7/365 emergency assistance. We strongly recommend you purchase this valuable protection. Guests who purchase an alternative travel insurance policy do so at their own risk. In any case, it is strictly the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the coverage terms are acceptable. Additional terms and conditions apply. Please read the description of coverage/policy carefully at http://www.csatravelprotection.com/certpolicy.do?product=G-330CSA.

20. ACTS OF GOD and SEVERE WEATHER: No refunds or credits will be made to guests for ‘Acts of God’ and/or weather-related issues or closures, including, but not limited to, pandemics, red tide, beach closures, hurricanes, and/or mandatory evacuations. Vunique Vacations offers guests the ability to purchase vacation travel insurance that may provide coverage under certain specific weather-related circumstances. Guests are responsible for purchasing this insurance if they want the coverage offered for weather related issues, and guests are responsible for seeking any recovery or refund directly from the insurance provider. Details about the coverage can be obtained by reviewing a description of coverage/policy on their website http://www.csatravelprotection.com/certpolicy.do?product=G-330CSA or by calling CSA Travel at 800-874-2442. If Vunique Vacations elects, in its sole discretion, to provide refunds or credits notwithstanding this provision, the form, amount, and timing of those refunds or credits shall remain solely in Vunique Vacations discretion.

21. SECURITY OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY. Vunique Vacations is not responsible for any acts of violence against guests or theft, vandalism, or other damages to the personal property of guests during guests’ stay at a Vunique Vacations property. Vunique Vacations is also not responsible for personal items left by a guest in the accommodation at departure

22. PROPERTY SELECTION AND AVAILABILITY: Vunique Vacations appreciates that its luxury accommodations offer different features, designs, and layouts, and that reservation holders want the peace of mind that they will stay in the specific properties they selected. Accordingly, Vunique Vacations will reserve for you the specific property selected at the time of your reservation upon the receipt of your reservation deposit and signed Agreement. Subject to availability for maintenance, owner usage, or other issues that may render the accommodations unsuitable for occupancy by guests, and/or subject to the property remaining as a Vunique Vacations accommodation at the time of the stay, guests will be placed in the specific property set forth in their Agreement. If the specific accommodation set forth in your Agreement is unavailable during your reservation dates for any reason (other than due to hurricanes or severe weather which is addressed in Section 15), Vunique Vacations will, in its sole discretion, either: (1) move your stay to an equivalently priced accommodation; (2) provide you a credit for use in booking a future Vunique Vacation property equal to all payments made to Vunique Vacations for the current reservation; or (3) provide you a full refund minus the non-refundable booking fee. For the avoidance of doubt, unavailability of the property will include governmental shutdowns for non-weather reasons in the area in which the property is located, including pandemics. If guests are unable to travel to the property for any reason, but the property is available for occupancy, the cancellation provisions in Section 14 will govern. In no event will Vunique Vacations be responsible for any direct or indirect costs, expenses, fees or other actual or consequential damages resulting from the unavailability of a specific accommodation.

23. RATE CHANGES and WEBSITE CONTENT: Rates are subject to change without notice on all websites that Vunique Vacations advertises. Confirmed booking rates will never be changed unless directed by the customer per the cancellation terms of this document. The rate and rental listing information provided online, though deemed accurate is not guaranteed. It is subject to errors, omissions, change of price or withdrawal without notice.

24. HOUSEKEEPING: A housekeeping fee will be added to all reservations, regardless of the number of nights booked. The fee varies depending on the size of the property and the fee is applied to cleaning and preparation expenses required in preparation for your arrival. Vunique Vacation accommodations will be cleaned and documented to our quality standards prior to arrival and after departure. If any deficiencies are found by the guest upon arrival, guest agrees to contact Vunique Vacations and allow them the time to correct the issue. No corrective action or refund will be provided if this does not occur, or for housekeeping deficiencies that are not reported within a reasonable time frame of guest arrival.

During your stay, you will be responsible for the cleaning of your property during your stay and for leaving the unit in good condition at check-out. We respectfully request that you remember that you are staying in someone’s home during your vacation; please treat it with the care you would your own. If a property is found abnormally dirty at check-out, additional charges will be charged to your credit card to assist in performing a deep cleaning of the property. Additional cleanings can be arranged during your stay for an additional fee if you prefer.

25. LINENS AND TOWELS: A linen fee will be added to all reservations, regardless of the number of nights booked. The fee can vary on the size of the property and is applied to the laundering activities associated with each reservation. Beach and/or pool towels are provided for all homes. Please only use these towels for this use. We do not allow linens or bath towels to be used in this way, or to leave the premises except for laundering by our staff. Failure to comply could result in additional charges to the credit card on file.

26. MAINTENANCE: Guest acknowledges and understands that weekly, monthly, or quarterly maintenance associated with lawn care, pool care, pest control, fertilization, preventative maintenance etc may occur during your stay to ensure the property is kept in good condition. Guests will comply with the requests of these service providers, including deterring from use of these areas or features for the time frames specified by the service provider. This is most applicable with pool care treatments.

During your stay, promptly report any maintenance problems to Vunique Vacations. No refund or rate adjustment will be made for unforeseen failures such as the supply of electricity, water, pool filtration systems, pool heaters, air conditioning, television or cable service, appliances, etc. Guest acknowledges and understands that Vunique Vacations may have factors that limit their ability to complete a repair during a guest stay, which could include product availability, shipping time frames, warranty repair requirements, owner approval time frames, and otherwise. Refunds or rate adjustments will not be made for these factors outside of Vunique Vacations control. If Vunique Vacations elects, in its sole discretion, to provide refunds or credits notwithstanding this provision, the form, amount, and timing of those refunds or credits shall remain solely in Vunique Vacations discretion.

27. POOL EQUIPMENT AND HEATING: All Vunique Vacation properties are equipped with pool heaters, and all pools typically heated between November 1 – May 1. Pool heaters will be set to 84 degrees. There will be days when the weather conditions will not allow pool heaters to accommodate the set temperature. The cost of the set temperature is included in your stay; however, you may request to increase the set temperature up to 86 degrees for an additional $200 per day. No credit, discount, and/or rate adjustments can be granted for circumstances beyond our control, including, but not limited to weather conditions. Guests must only use the provided pool remote and instructions to operate the pool and/or spa and any associated features (slides, fountains, etc). Guests are prohibited from tampering with the pool equipment, pool automation, or any settings associated with the pool equipment. Any guest who is proven to have tampered with pool equipment, which will be determined by Vunique Vacations at Vunique Vacations sole discretion, will be charged $1,000, plus any costs associated with the mitigation efforts that result from this action. Guest gives Vunique Vacations permission to charge the credit card on file for any damages that result in failure to comply with this policy.

28. AIR CONDITIONING: The fan should be set on ‘auto.’ Do not operate the HVAC system with doors or windows open, if window or door sensors are in use this will shut off the HVAC system. Do not operate the HVAC system at temperature settings outside of the Vunique Vacation recommended parameters. Damage to HVAC system in any capacity, due to improper use will be the responsibility of the guest.

29. PLUMBING: Please do not put any item besides toilet paper in the toilet. Paper towels, baby wipes, feminine products, diapers, etc – anything besides toilet paper – may cause a damage to the plumbing. Likewise, please do not put peelings or any fibrous materials through the Garbage Disposal. During operation of garbage disposal, run plenty of water and feed material slowly when using the disposal. If damage occurs because of non-compliance with this agreement, as determined by Vunique Vacations at Vunique Vacations sole discretion, the guest will be responsible for the service call and any required repairs.

30. NEARBY CONSTRUCTION: There may be construction ongoing at properties adjacent to or close by the Vunique Vacations property being occupied by guests. 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 Vunique Vacations. As such, the guest shall not be entitled to a refund relating to such construction. Notwithstanding this, Vunique Vacations will use its best efforts to ensure the appropriate parties are notified and appropriate remedial action taken in the event that it receives notice the construction at issue may be in violation of any such regulations or ordinances.

31. LOCAL LAWS and ORDINANCES: Most accommodations located in residential neighborhoods are governed by Local Government Laws and Ordinances, and/or Homeowner’s Associations or Condominium Associations. This particularly applies to length of stay, noise, parking, and trash. These rules must be respected at all times. The number of parking spaces, max occupancy, and other important information is found in the advertisement for each home. Parking of commercial vehicles, recreational vehicles, boats or marine vessels or equipment, trailers of any kind, or otherwise are prohibited without prior approval from Vunique Vacations. Violations may warrant a fine from the governing body that will be the guest’s responsibility, and in some cases, failure to comply may result in eviction without refund. These rules apply to both owners and guests. By entering into this Agreement, you and all of your guests agree to abide by the applicable rules, laws, and/or ordinances that govern the property.

32. GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY: Please remember you are staying in someone’s home during your vacation. Please treat it with care and leave it in good condition at check-out. In addition, please be aware of volume, trash, and parking in consideration of the local community.

Please be aware that Vunique Vacations is committed to ‘rent responsibly standards.’ This means we follow best-in-class guidelines to ensure you have a peaceful, safe, and memorable stay with us. We use smart home technologies to improve your experience, security, and safety. Our homes may utilize security cameras on the exterior of the home where there is no expectation of privacy, and/or noise monitoring software that measures volume levels only (decibels) throughout the property and allows us to respond to noise nuisances quickly before it becomes an issue with neighbors or law enforcement. This equipment and software is privacy compliant and may be used at your rental property. Please reach out to the Vunique Vacations property management team if you have any questions regarding this program or local laws and ordinances that may be applicable.

33. FIREARMS, WEAPONS, AND AMMUNITION POLICY: Because of the risk of firearms being left behind, which poses an unacceptable risk for employees, vendors, and future guests, Vunique Vacations prohibits persons from carrying or otherwise possessing firearms, ammunition, or weapons at any Vunique Vacations managed property, including carrying firearms in an open or concealed manner. This policy applies to all firearms, including airsoft and BB guns. Guests who fail to abide by this policy are subject to immediate evicted and forfeiture of all payments made to Vunique Vacations in Vunique Vacations sole discretion.

34. PIRACY AND ILLEGAL DOWNLOADS: The illegal distribution of copyright material including unauthorized peer-to-peer file sharing on Vunique Vacations owned, operated or maintained networks may subject guests to civil and criminal penalties under federal law. Guests who engage in such activity at a Vunique Vacation property using a network owned, operated or maintained by Vunique Vacation will be subject to immediate eviction, a $1,000 fee, and forfeiture of all payments made to Vunique Vacations in Vunique Vacations sole discretion.

35. POOL ALARM POLICY: Pursuant to the Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act found in Section 515.27, Florida Statutes, swimming pools must have certain safety features, such as fencing and/or door alarms, depending on the pool configuration. If any pool alarm at any door or window leading to the pool area is not working, please contact Vunique Vacations immediately. Should a disabled or tampered with pool alarm be found upon guest’s departure, a $5,000 fee will be charged against the guest credit card on file in addition to any costs expended to replace or repair the pool alarm.
