These representations and warranties are continuing. In the event that any of the foregoing representations or warranties is no longer true or correct, Owner will immediately notify Beach Road in writing.

1.3.      Rights and Obligations of Ownership. Nothing in the Agreement changes Owner’s title to, or general rights and obligations of ownership in, the Property. Except as expressly provided in the Agreement, Owner is and shall at all times remain fully responsible for all physical, legal, and financial matters pertaining to the Property whether it is rented or not, including responsibility for: the cost of all repairs, maintenance, and replacement of any and all furnishings, fixtures, and equipment necessary to maintain the Property in a suitable condition for rental occupancy; financial matters associated with ownership of the Property; and ensuring that the Property is in compliance with applicable law, and regulation, deed restriction, or homeowners’ association bylaw or rule.

1.4.      Guest Privacy. To ensure guest privacy, Owner shall not enter the Property or any immediately adjacent land or associated structures, or permit any other person to do so, without (1) reserving an Owner stay with Beach Road covering the period of access or (2) checking with Beach Road prior to entry. Owner shall not place any camera in the interior of the Property or in any portion of the Property except in an exterior area that is visible from off the premises, such as the front porch, if applicable. Owner is not entitled to any guest-identifying information that may be provided to or accessible by Beach Road, including without limitation full guest names, contact details, or payment information. As between Owner and Beach Road, Beach Road shall have the sole and exclusive right to such guest information.

1.5.      Change of Address. To ensure Beach Road is able to reach Owner if necessary and make timely Owner Payments, Owner shall notify Beach Road of any change in Owner’s mailing address, telephone number, email address, or direct deposit information. Such notice shall be sent by email (with acknowledgement of receipt), overnight express delivery service (e.g., Federal Express) or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to Beach Road. Beach Road shall not be liable for its failure to contact Owner or make Owner Payments when required under the Agreement if Owner has not updated Owner’s contact information.

1.6.      Compliance with Law; Licenses and Permits. Owner agrees to abide by all applicable laws, regulations, deed restrictions, association rules, and licensing and permitting requirements applicable to use the Property as a vacation rental. Owner is responsible for obtaining and maintaining any applicable license or permit for the use of the Property as a vacation rental and for payment of all associated fees. Where permitted by law, Beach Road may, but is not required to, act on Owner’s behalf to obtain or renew a license or permit for the Property.

1.7.      Existing Reservations.

1. Obligation to Honor Existing Reservations. Owner acknowledges that guest

satisfaction is a priority for Beach Road, and that the inability to honor reservations is a significant source of guest dissatisfaction, poor reviews, and demands for compensation Accordingly, Owner agrees to honor all Existing Reservations with a checkout date prior to the Effective Termination Date. “Existing Reservations” are reservations for which Beach Road has received a monetary deposit.

2. Liability for Failure to Honor Existing Reservations. If Owner fails or refuses

to honor one or more Existing Reservations for any reason, Beach Road shall attempt to move the reservation to a comparable property. If Beach Road is able to move the reservation to a comparable property, then Owner agrees to be responsible for any actual costs incurred by Beach Road to move the guests (such as, by way of example only, higher rent that is not passed on to the guests). If Beach Road is not able to move the reservation to a comparable property, then Owner agrees to pay Beach Road (1) Beach Road’s lost Management Fee on that reservation, plus (2) any actual costs incurred by Beach Road in connection with cancellation of the reservation.

3. Circumstances Outside Owner’s Control. Owner will not be responsible for

payment of the damages prescribed within this section for failure to honor Existing Reservations where such failure is due to factors outside of the Owner’s reasonable control, such as flooding, fire, or the occurrence of a natural disaster or a mandatory evacuation order. If Owner makes an insurance or other third-party compensation claim that leads to recovery of lost rental income on displaced reservations, Owner shall notify Beach Road of such recovery in writing, and Owner will pay or cause to be paid to Beach Road an amount equal to the Management Fee that Beach Road would have received on the lost rental income payment.

2.         Beach Road Rights and Obligations

2.1.      Guest Fees and Services. In addition to a cleaning fee, Beach Road may charge guests and retain additional fixed or variable fees, such as a booking fee, pet fee, hot tub fee, late check out fee, fees for specific service such as concierge services, or other fees.

2.2.      Channel Marketing. A Channel may act as merchant of record for certain transactions reserved through the Channel. Owner acknowledges that certain Channels may charge guest fees that will be retained by the Channel (and that will not be shared with Beach Road or Owner). Owner further acknowledges that the presentation of the Property, including but not limited to the breakdown of the total cost of stay as displayed to the end user during checkout, may vary among Channels; and that due to limitations on the ability to present specific line items on some Channels the amount reflected as “rent” on a Channel might include fees, taxes, or other amounts that are not “Rental Proceeds” as defined in the Agreement.

2.3.      Guest Refunds. Beach Road may issue full or partial refunds to guests to address guest dissatisfaction where reasonable to do so, as determined by Beach Road in its sole discretion.

2.4.      Optional Start Date for Services.

2.5.      Out-of-Order Status. Beach Road may place the Property in “out-of-order” status at any time, for any cause that Beach Road in its sole discretion believes could materially affect the quality or safety of a guest’s stay.

2.6.      Emergency Repairs. A repair is an “Emergency Repair” if Beach Road in its sole discretion deems the repair to be necessary either to (1) protect the Property or its contents from damage or destruction; (2) protect the safety and welfare of a guest while staying at the Property; or (3) return the Property to rentable condition during or in advance of a guest’s stay. When an Emergency Repair is expected to exceed five hundred $500.00, and to the extent reasonable under the circumstances, Beach Road will attempt to contact Owner prior to incurring expenses for an Emergency Repair.

7.2.      Dispute Resolution. The parties agree to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Agreement as follows:

first to try to settle the dispute by mediation within 30 days of either party providing written notice of the dispute, such mediation to be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Mediation procedures. In the event the parties are unable to agree on a mediator, AAA shall appoint a mediator.

Binding arbitration rather than in court, such arbitration to be conducted by the AAA under its Commercial Arbitration Rules before a single, independent arbitrator. 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 Owner requests arbitration, it will send the letter to Beach Road’s registered agent in the state in which the Property is located.

place in Chatham County in the state of Georgia, or in such other location as Beach Road and Owner may mutually agree.
