We want you to experience all the joy and excitement of your planned and much anticipated vacation to DeBordieu. However, we know that unexpected events: illness...medical emergencies...delayed flights...hurricanes and severe weather can occur when you least expect them. These unfortunate events may cause you to cancel or interrupt your trip, forcing you to lose your vacation investment and incur unexpected expenses. Remember, when you cancel the travel insurance, you are cancelling it for your entire group. Can you afford to lose the non-refundable cost of your trip if something unexpected happened? Your vacation investment is protected when you buy Travel Protection, which covers you for trip cancellation, delay, and interruption. We highly recommend that you purchase this protection to safeguard against the unexpected. MANDATORY EVACUATIONS: Late summer and fall is hurricane season. Having a storm threaten your vacation is a possibility. In the event government officials or the DeBordieu Colony General Manager order a mandatory evacuation of the area, due to natural disasters including but not limited to, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes or pandemic, guests must vacate the premises immediately. Unless Travel Insurance has been purchased, there will be no reimbursement for a mandatory evacuation. FURNISHINGS/EQUIPMENT: Our rental homes have been decorated and equipped to satisfy the particular tastes and desires of the owners. All properties are furnished with central heat and air, washer/dryer, dishwasher, TV with cable and a fully equipped kitchen. The furnishings are not to be moved or rearranged and are subject to change without notice. ELEVATORS: Many of our properties have elevators. Elevators should only be used on check-in and check-out days for unloading and loading, or for the use of the elderly or disabled. Under no circumstances should unsupervised children be allowed in an elevator. A release must be signed before access to the elevator will be issued.

We reserve the right to cancel any reservation made under false pretenses, for groups exceeding the occupancy of the house or other illegal purposes.

3. Guest agrees to keep and maintain the premises in good condition at all times. A Departure Clean is provided. However, failure to adhere to the following will result in additional charges. Guests' credit cards are held on file for this purpose.

4. Guest agrees to use due care during their occupancy of the Premises. However, we understand that no matter how careful you are, accidents happen. We do not feel you should be responsible for small accidental damage that occurs during your stay that you report immediately. We refer to this as Accident Forgiveness. Therefore, you will not be required to pay for accidental damage to the Premises, or personal property of the homeowner contained within the Premises, up to an aggregate limit of $800. Damages exceeding this limit will be the responsibility of the guest. Guests' credit cards are held on file for this purpose. However, guests are fully liable for damage due to the following: (a) intentional, willful, reckless, or malicious acts of guest or others on the Premises during the tenancy; (b) damage by pets (pets are prohibited in most properties); (c) theft from the premises of either the owner's property or property belonging to guest; (d) gross negligence of guest or intentional misuse of furnishings, appliances, equipment or other amenities provided with the Premises; (e) damage caused while under the influence of alcohol or drugs; (f) damage to real property resulting from operation of any vehicle by guest; (g) damages related to smoking (all our properties are "Non Smoking"). Accident Forgiveness, as well as exclusions contained herein, provided to guest shall extend to all members of guest's party and guests thereof.
