If any other animal was seen on the property or you did not tell us your dog was coming a $500 FEE will apply.--Keep your dogs leashed at all times while outside, even in our front yard. Again our residential neighbors asked this of our guests so they feel safe and I want to respect their feelings and maintain a good relationship with them. Thank you!--Pick up your doggie poop in our yard and when on walks please ($200 FEE WILL APPLY IF MY CLEANER HAS TO PICK UP YOUR DOGGIE POO and you will not be able to return as a guest at any of our properties).

• -PARTIES: NO PARTIES! Just good old, relaxing fun allowed! If damage was done to the home a fee up to $150,000 could apply.

• • OCCUPANCY/USAGE OF HOMES AND PROPERTIES: Each rental property has an established “maximum occupancy”.

Children under the age of twelve should not be left in the property without an adult. Mobile units, such as campers and tents, cannot be used on the property. Wear the tear y’all! No rentals to groups less than 25 yrs old. Need to have that frontal lobe developed (for all my fellow nurses out there, you know what I mean!).

Evidence found of smoking within the property, or improperly disposing of smoking or drug related paraphernalia, will result in a $1,500.00 fine per incident. Multiple fines may apply.

With twins and diapers, two times a week is a lap of luxury for us! ($35 FEE WILL APPLY AFTER CHECK OUT IF YOU DO NOT TAKE YOUR OWN TRASH OUT)

• -PARKING: There is free parking for two (2) cars MAXIMUM on the parking pad, unless you drive a hummer. Then its probably one car maximum, but then again, if you’re that cool that you own a hummer, you can probably get away with anything. An additional third car can fit on the street in front of the house but do not park in front of other homes. If you have more cars park on the street down a ways so it is not in front of any neighbor’s homes so we can maintain a good relationship with our residential neighbors. THEY WILL CALL US and we will call you so just park up the street if you have more than 3 cars please! --MISC ITEMS IN/AT THE PROPERTY - -The bubble chair has a weight limit of 200lbs. No-one exceeding that weight limit is allowed on the chair. Do not swing the chair, jump in the chair or fall back into the chair or else it may break and you may injure yourself.

Please make sure there is not an excessive amount of sand on the floors before departing. If you brought a dog a quick sweep before you leave is really helpful since some floats up in the air and then lands again. This helps the cleaner not have to sweep over and over.

Thanks for reading folks! ---Oh and one more rule: HAVE SO MUCH FUN! Go Army!

*The fees added are a result of unfortunate events from previous guests. Most of our guests do not need any rules to follow but in order to respect our cleaners, pay them for their time and extra work if needed, and/or to pay additional cleaners to help out if the house is not left properly in order to get the house clean and sanitized for upcoming guests we do need to have these rules and extra fee’s in place. Thank you for your understanding. *Choice of Law; Jurisdiction and Venue; Dispute Resolution. A.1. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement: United States. If (a) your claim against Rebecca relates in any way to a reservation for or stay at a Property located in the United States, or (b) you bring any other claim against Rebecca in the United States (to the extent permitted by these Rebecca Terms or the Airbnb Terms) (any such dispute, claim, or controversy under either (a) or (b) a “US Claim”), then you agree to resolve the US Claim as follows: a. Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Rebecca mutually agree that any US Claim will be settled by binding arbitration rather than in court, such arbitration to be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, or such other AAA arbitration rules that the AAA decides to be applicable to a specific dispute, that are in effect as of the time of service of an arbitration demand. Payment of filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. To begin an arbitration, a party must send a letter to the other party requesting arbitration and describing the claim. If Rebecca requests arbitration, it will send the letter to your most recent email or physical address in Rebecca’s records. If you request arbitration, you must send the letter to Rebecca, or if the dispute does not involve a reservation for or stay at a specific property. b. Place of Arbitration. The arbitration shall take place in the county in which the Property is located, or in such other location as you and Rebecca may mutually agree. c. Exceptions to Arbitration Requirement. As the only exceptions to the agreement to submit all US Claims to binding arbitration as provided herein, Rebecca and Renter both retain the right to pursue: (1) in small claims court in the county in which the Property is located, any claim that is within that court’s jurisdiction, and the parties consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such court; and (2) a suit in any court with jurisdiction to enjoin (whether by temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief) infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. A.2. Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver. You and Rebecca agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and Rebecca waive any right to a jury trial. M. Limitation of Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO CASE SHALL THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY OR Rebecca, NOR THEIR AFFILIATES, NOR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR OWNERS, BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL OR BODILY INJURY, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR STAY AT THE PROPERTY. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES TO ALL CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES WHETHER BASED ON A THEORY OF WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF Rebecca HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE AND EVEN IF THE LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. N. Indemnity. You agree to hold harmless and indemnify Rebecca and Owner, and their respective affiliates, for and from all claims for property damage, personal injury, or monetary loss resulting from your actions or omissions, and the actions or omissions of other Occupants, during or relating to your stay. O. Substitution of Property. On rare occasions, due to ownership changes, properties being removed from rental use, or a need for extensive repairs or maintenance, the Property may not be available for rental on the dates of your reservation and Rebecca may have to cancel your booking. In this unlikely event, rebooking shall be subject to the Airbnb Terms for booking modifications. P. Assignment. Rebecca may assign these Terms or any of its rights, or delegate any of its duties under these Terms, at any time without your consent. *No refunds will be given due to dissatisfaction with a non-working, nonessential amenity associated with the home whether or not the issue was reported. This includes: air conditioners, TVs, DVD players (and other electronic devices), grills, recreational equipment, dishwashers, deck furniture, washers/dryers, hot tubs, or other luxury items. Please report any and all instances of items in need of attention immediately so that we may assist in repairs, where possible, quickly.
