This Short-Term Rental License Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between the property

owner and/or property manager (“Licensor”) and the booking guest (“Licensee”) for the temporary

occupancy of the vacation rental property identified in the booking confirmation (“Premises”). The

Licensor and Licensee may be referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

1. PREMISES; NATURE OF AGREEMENT. Licensor hereby grants to Licensee, and Licensee

accepts, a temporary, revocable, non-exclusive license to occupy and use the Premises identified in

the booking confirmation (the “Premises”) for short-term residential lodging purposes only, subject to

the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement is a license and not a lease, tenancy, or

conveyance of any interest in real property. Nothing in this Agreement grants Licensee any estate,

possessory interest, or tenancy rights in the Premises. Licensee’s right to occupy the Premises is

limited to the Term stated herein and is subject at all times to the rules, policies, and control of the

Licensor. Licensee acknowledges that this Agreement creates a temporary lodging arrangement

only and does not establish a landlord-tenant relationship, tenancy, or right of continued occupancy.

2. TERM; CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT. The license granted under this Agreement begins on the

check-in date specified in the booking confirmation and automatically terminates on the check-out

date specified in the booking confirmation (the “Term”). Check-in time and check-out time shall be as

specified in the booking confirmation, unless otherwise expressly approved in writing by Licensor.

Early check-in or late check-out is not permitted without prior written approval and may result in

additional charges or termination of the license.

3. PAYMENTS. The total license fee owed for the Term is the amount specified in the booking

confirmation, payable in advance. A cleaning fee in the amount specified in the booking confirmation

will be charged. Refunds, if any, are governed by the applicable cancellation policy.

4. OCCUPANCY AND SURRENDER. Licensee’s right to occupy the Premises is limited to the Term of

this Agreement. Upon expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Licensee shall immediately

vacate the Premises, remove all personal belongings, and surrender access to the Licensor in the

same condition as received, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

5. HOLD OVER. Unless otherwise approved in writing by Licensor, Licensee must vacate the

Premises by the designated check-out time on the Departure Date. Any unauthorized occupancy

beyond the Term constitutes a violation of this Agreement and may result in additional fees of $50

per hour, termination of access codes, and removal from the Premises. Vehicles left on the property

after the Term may be towed at Licensee’s expense. Personal property left behind may be removed

and stored at Licensee’s expense or disposed of in accordance with applicable law. Any holdover

occupancy shall not create a tenancy or landlord-tenant relationship under any circumstances.

6. MINIMUM STAY. This property requires a 1 night minimum stay. Longer minimum stays may be

required during holiday and peak periods.

7. USE OF PREMISES. Licensee shall occupy and use the Premises as a dwelling unit. Licensee will

maintain the premises in good order and appearance, including keeping the premises free of trash

and garbage. Reasonable wear and tear are the only exceptions to damage to the premises.

Licensee shall not use the property for any commercial purpose.

8. OCCUPANTS. No more than 12 person(s) may occupy the Premises at any one time unless the

prior written consent of the Licensor is obtained. All guests over the age of [2] are counted towards

the maximum.

9. IDENTITY VERIFICATION; FRAUD PREVENTION. Licensee represents and warrants that all

information provided in connection with the reservation is true, accurate, and complete. Licensor

reserves the right, at any time prior to or during the Term, to require verification of Licensee’s

identity, including the production of a valid government-issued photo identification and verification

that the name on the reservation matches the name on the payment method.

10. RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE; PRE-OCCUPANCY CANCELLATION. Licensor reserves the right,

in its reasonable discretion and at any time prior to Licensee’s occupancy of the Premises, to refuse

service or cancel the reservation if Licensor reasonably determines that the reservation violates this

Agreement, applicable law, house rules, occupancy limits, or presents a risk to the property,

neighbors, guests, or community. In such event, Licensor may cancel the reservation and refund

amounts paid in accordance with the cancellation provisions of this Agreement, or as otherwise

required by law.

11. PAYMENT DISPUTES; CHARGEBACKS. Licensee agrees that all disputes relating to charges

under this Agreement must be raised directly with Licensor and resolved pursuant to the dispute

resolution provisions of this Agreement. Licensee agrees not to initiate a chargeback, payment

dispute, or reversal with any credit card company, bank, or payment processor for any charge

authorized under this Agreement, except in the event of fraud or billing error as defined by

applicable law. Initiating a chargeback in violation of this provision shall constitute a material breach

of this Agreement, and Licensor reserves the right to provide this Agreement, booking records,

communications, and evidence of Licensee’s stay to the payment processor in response to any

such dispute. Nothing in this provision limits Licensee’s rights under applicable consumer protection

or credit card billing laws.

12. SECURITY, MONITORING, AND TECHNOLOGY DISCLOSURE. Licensee acknowledges and

agrees that the Premises may be equipped with exterior-only security cameras, noise monitoring

devices, and smoking detection technology, as further described in the House Rules or listing

disclosures. No cameras are located inside the Premises. Noise and smoking detection devices do

not record audio, conversations, or video and are used solely to monitor compliance with

occupancy, noise, and no-smoking policies. Licensee agrees not to tamper with, disable, obstruct,

or interfere with any such devices.

13. FIREARMS AND WEAPONS. To the extent permitted by law, firearms and other weapons are not

permitted on the Premises without Licensor’s prior written consent.

14. FIREWORKS PROHIBITED. Fireworks, sparklers, sky lanterns, and any other pyrotechnic devices

15. PETS. Pets shall not be allowed without the prior written consent of the Licensor. An additional Pet

fee of $150 per pet per night will apply. Approved pets must comply with all house rules, including

leash, noise, and waste requirements, and may not be left unattended unless expressly authorized

in writing. Service animals are permitted in accordance with applicable law. Service animals must

be under the handler’s control at all times, may not be left unattended, and must comply with all

house rules. The handler is responsible for the care, supervision, cleanup, and any damage caused

by the service animal beyond ordinary wear and tear.

16. BUGS AND CRITTERS. The Property is located in a natural setting where insects, spiders, and

small critters (such as mice or squirrels) may be present. While reasonable efforts are made to

maintain pest control, Licensee acknowledges that occasional sightings may occur. No refunds will

be issued due to the presence of bugs or critters.

17. POOL and/or SPA. The swimming pool and/or spa is provided as an amenity for recreational use

only. Licensee and all guests use the pool and/or spa at their own risk. Licensee acknowledges that

swimming pools present inherent risks, including but not limited to slipping, falling, drowning, diving-

related injuries, head or spinal injuries, waterborne illness, and other serious bodily injury or death.

Licensee voluntarily assumes all such risks for themselves and all members of their group. Children

must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times while in or around the pool area. No diving,

jumping, running, glass containers, pets, or horseplay are permitted in or around the pool. Licensee

agrees to comply with all posted pool rules, quiet hours, and applicable local ordinances. Pool use

during quiet hours must not create excessive noise or disturbances. Licensee agrees not to use the

pool while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications that may impair judgment or

physical condition. For health and safety reasons, Licensee agrees to shower before entering the

pool and/or spa and to refrain from adding soaps, oils, food, or any other substances to the water.

Pool equipment, chemicals, and mechanical components are off-limits to guests. The pool is

professionally maintained; however, Licensor does not guarantee uninterrupted availability. If the

pool becomes unavailable due to maintenance, mechanical issues, weather conditions, or safety

concerns, no refund or compensation shall be provided. If the pool is damaged or contaminated due

to misuse during Licensee’s stay, a cleaning, chemical rebalancing, or repair fee up to $10,000 may

be charged. Licensee’s assumption of risk, release of liability, and indemnification obligations

related to pool use are further set forth in Section 46 (Assumption of Risk and Liability Waiver) of

this Agreement.

18. DECKS, BALCONIES, AND ELEVATED OUTDOOR AREAS. The Premises includes a deck,

porch, stairs, or other elevated outdoor areas. Licensee acknowledges that such areas present

inherent risks, including slips, falls, railing failure, and serious bodily injury or death. Licensee and

all guests use these areas at their own risk. Children must be supervised at all times. Sitting,

climbing, leaning over, or standing on railings is strictly prohibited. No jumping from decks or

balconies is permitted. Licensee agrees not to overload decks or place furniture, grills, fire pits, or

other equipment on decks unless expressly permitted. Licensee’s assumption of risk, release of

liability, and indemnification obligations are further set forth in Section [46] (Assumption of Risk and

Liability Waiver).

head injuries, entrapment, and serious bodily injury or death. Licensee acknowledges and

voluntarily assumes all risks associated with the use of bunk beds by Licensee and all members of

the Licensee’s group. The top bunk may only be used by children age six (6) years or older and by

individuals capable of safely using the bunk bed. Children must be supervised at all times. Jumping,

climbing on guardrails, rough play, or misuse of bunk beds is strictly prohibited. Licensee agrees to

follow all posted or provided safety instructions and to ensure that bunk beds are used only as

or misuse of bunk beds are subject to the assumption of risk, release of liability, and indemnification

provisions set forth in Section [46] (Assumption of Risk and Liability Waiver).

bodily injury or death. Licensee voluntarily assumes all such risks for themselves and all members

of their group. Only the designated fire pit may be used. No accelerants or unauthorized materials

may be added. The fire pit must never be left unattended while in use and must be fully

extinguished after each use. Licensee agrees to keep all flammable materials, furniture, and

structures at a safe distance and to comply with all posted instructions, house rules, burn bans,

weather advisories, and local ordinances. Children must be supervised at all times when the fire pit

is in use. Licensee agrees not to use the fire pit while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or

medications that may impair judgment or physical condition. The fire pit may not be used during

high winds or unsafe conditions, and Licensor reserves the right to restrict or prohibit use at any

time for safety or compliance reasons. Any damage, excessive smoke residue, or fire-related

cleanup required due to misuse during Licensee’s stay may result in additional charges. Licensee’s

assumption of risk, release of liability, and indemnification obligations related to fire pit use are

further set forth in Section [46] (Assumption of Risk and Liability Waiver).

during their stay, whether caused by themselves, their visitors, or other individuals present. This

encompasses damage to rooms, fixtures, furnishings, and amenities like towels, electronics, and

kitchenware. The Licensor retains the right to keep the Licensee’s payment details and charge the

full amount necessary, at its discretion, to cover expenses incurred due to damage or theft. Should

the Premises become unrentable due to the Licensee’s actions, the Licensor reserves the right to

charge the Licensee the nightly rate advertised on the Booking Channel until it's returned to

rentable condition, along with any damages caused. Licensor is not responsible for loss, theft, or

26. CANCELLATIONS. If the Premises becomes unavailable to Licensee prior to occupancy, for any

reason, Licensor agrees to cancel the reservation and refund all amounts paid by Licensee as of

the cancellation date. Upon issuance of such refund, Licensee releases any and all claims against

Licensor arising from the cancellation, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law. Licensee-

unreasonably withheld), Licensor shall have the right to enter the Premises to make inspections,

provide necessary services and repairs. However, Licensor does not assume any liability for the

care or supervision of the Premises while under the possession and of Licensee. As provided by

law, in the case of an emergency, Licensor may enter the Premises without Licensee's consent.

Temporary interruptions of utilities, amenities, or services required for maintenance or repair shall

not constitute a breach of this Agreement and shall not entitle Licensee to any refund or

compensation.

circumstances beyond their control, including but not limited to natural disasters, government

orders, pandemics, acts of God, fire, flood, severe weather, war, terrorism, utility outages, or any

other unforeseeable or unavoidable event, the Licensor reserves the right to cancel the reservation

not be entitled to any additional compensation for damages, losses, or inconvenience suffered as a

result of the cancellation, unless otherwise required by law.

39. SEVERABILITY. If any portion of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any

reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable. If a court finds that any

provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision it would

become valid and enforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be written, construed, and

enforced as so limited.

40. WAIVER. The failure of either party to enforce any provisions of this Agreement shall not be

construed as a waiver or limitation of that party's right to subsequently enforce and compel strict

compliance with every provision of this Agreement.

41. BINDING EFFECT. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit

of both Parties and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns.

42. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. The Parties will attempt to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to

this Agreement through friendly negotiations amongst the Parties. If the matter is not resolved by

negotiation, the Parties will resolve the dispute using the below Alternative Dispute Resolution

(ADR) procedure. Any controversies or disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be

submitted to mediation in accordance with any statutory rules of mediation. If mediation is

unsuccessful in resolving the entire dispute or is unavailable, any outstanding issues will be

submitted to final and binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

The venue for arbitration shall be in the county and state in which the Premises is physically

located, unless the Parties expressly agree otherwise in writing. BY ENTERING THIS

AGREEMENT, YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. The arbitrator's award will

be final, and judgment may be entered upon it by any court having proper jurisdiction. To the

maximum extent permitted by law, the Parties agree that any dispute must be brought in the Parties’

individual capacities only and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective,

consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside

over any form of a class or representative proceeding, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Either Party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if the claim qualifies, and such claim

shall not be subject to arbitration unless removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction.

immediate removal from the Premises if the Licensee or Parties of the Licensee violate any terms of

this Agreement, including but not limited to, violation of the occupancy limits, pet provision, smoking,

fireworks, parties, noise ordinance or parking. In the event of removal from the Premises, the

Licensee shall forfeit all amounts paid and there will be no refund of money.

44. ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COSTS. If Licensor employs the services of an attorney to enforce any

conditions of this Agreement, to collect any amounts due, the removal of the Licensee, or because

Licensee takes any action to recover deposits not due, Licensee shall be liable to Licensor for

reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred by Licensor.

45. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. Terms not specified in this Agreement shall be in accordance

with the House rules or the Reservation policies, which are provided separately by the Licensor.

Licensor will make these policies and rules in writing and all such policies and rules signed or

initialed by Licensee will be incorporated into this agreement. Breach of these policies and rules at

Licensor’s discretion may lead to removal from the Premises and Licensee shall forfeit all amounts

paid and there will be no refund of money.

46. ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND LIABILITY WAIVER. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that

occupancy and use of the Premises and all related features, amenities, equipment, and surrounding

areas involve inherent risks that may result in personal injury, illness, property damage, or death.

Such risks include, without limitation, slips, trips, falls, uneven surfaces, water-related hazards, fire-

related hazards, extreme temperatures, wildlife or insect encounters, equipment misuse, and risks

associated with recreational or outdoor activities. These risks apply to all areas of the Premises and

to all amenities and equipment provided or permitted by Licensor, including but not limited to pools,

hot tubs, saunas, cold plunges, fire pits, bunk beds, bicycles, watercraft, and similar features,

whether or not such use is supervised. Licensee voluntarily assumes all such risks for themselves

and for all individuals in their group (collectively, the “Group”), including minors, guests, invitees,

and any other persons permitted on the Premises during the Term. Licensee is solely responsible

for supervising the Group, determining fitness to use any amenity or equipment, and ensuring

compliance with this Agreement and all House Rules. Licensee acknowledges that alcohol, drugs,

medications, or health conditions may increase the risk of injury and agrees to exercise appropriate

judgment at all times. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Licensee hereby releases, waives,

and discharges Licensor and Licensor’s owners, agents, employees, contractors, and property

managers from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, or liabilities arising

out of or related to Licensee’s or the Group’s occupancy, use, or misuse of the Premises, amenities,

or equipment, except to the extent caused by Licensor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. To

the extent permitted by law, Licensee further agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless

Licensor and Licensor’s agents, including property managers, from and against any and all claims,

liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, arising from

or related to Licensee’s or the Group’s occupancy, use, or misuse of the Premises, amenities, or

equipment, or any breach of this Agreement or the House Rules.

47. ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES; DELIVERY; COMMUNICATIONS CONSENT. Licensee agrees that

electronic signatures, acknowledgments, and consents have the same legal effect as original

signatures. Licensee consents to receive notices, disclosures, and communications regarding the

reservation and this Agreement electronically via email, text, and/or the booking portal. Licensee is

responsible for ensuring contact information is accurate and for checking messages for time-

sensitive communications.
