RENTAL AGREEMENT

A. This Property Rental Agreement is made by and between Hayes Vacation Home Rentals., a Florida corporation (“Hayes Vacation Home Rentals” or “Manager”), the renter of the Property (“Guest”), each, a “party”, collectively, the “parties”). Hayes Vacation Home Rentals is a short term vacation rental company that exclusively manages, rents and maintains a portfolio of homes in Florida. This Property Rental Agreement and all exhibits, linked pages and attachments referenced below, which by this reference are incorporated herein as though fully set forth, are, together, the “Agreement”. Guest desires to rent the Property from Manager, Manager desires to rent the Property to Guest, and Hayes Vacation Home Rentals desires to facilitate such rental, all upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

1. Rental Specifics: Guest and Manager agree to the specific terms of the vacation property rental (“Booking”) set forth including without limitation, the Property description, any additional terms referenced or linked from the Property description page, the rental dates, the rental charges, the cancellation policy, the damage reporting procedure, the cleaning fees, the deposit amounts and total charges, all of which terms are by this reference incorporated into this Agreement as though fully set forth. The terms of the Booking Summary (summarized charges and fees on booking page) shall control any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Booking Summary.

2. General Terms & Conditions: The following terms shall apply to the Booking:

A. Check-In: Check-In Time is usually 4PM or later, but please review your check-in instructions for any early check-in options.

B. Check-Out: Check-Out Time is usually 10AM, but please review your check-in instructions for any late check-out options.

C. Payment Processing: Payments of the fees and other charges set forth on the Booking Summary shall be processed by third party merchant processors determined by agreements between Lightmaker Property Management (LMPM), Hayes Vacation Home Rentals or any party that has contractual agreements with the Manager to procure guest booking on behalf of said Manager as part of the Services. Payment terms, installments and amounts may change according to seasonal calendar or any other cause determined by Manager or affiliated agents.

D. Cleaning & Other Fees, taxes. We include all stay related fees and taxes in the total price of the stay in the total price quoted, which may include cleaning, property manager, resort, tourism tax and other stay related fees. Taxes would include Florida State tax at 7.5% and the County tax that differs with the county the rental is in. All Hayes Vacation Home Rental properties are professionally cleaned after each stay.

E. Manager Grace Period. Manager may cancel a Booking during the one business day period immediately following Guest’s submittal of the Booking through the Services. This one business day grace period is intended to allow Managers to talk directly and confirm any details with Guests, as well as to address any calendar issues. The vast majority of reservations are accepted without issue.

F. Payments & Cancellations. Cancellations are subject to the Cancellation Policy stated for each reservation. Some properties offer Free Cancellation until a set number of days prior to stay. Other properties have stricter policies depending on the property and other factors related to each destination. The cancellation policy for each property is stated at the time of booking and contained in the rental confirmation. Please check your Booking Summary for any property-specific or date-specific cancellation policies. Any change to a confirmed Booking must be approved by the Manager and is subject to a $50 change fee to cover Hayes Vacation Home Rentals administrative costs.

Hayes Vacation Home Rentals will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain current rental rates on the Property listing page and Booking Summary; provided that in the event of a significant (over 10%) discrepancy between the Booking Summary rental rate and the actual rental rate, the actual rental rate shall control. Hayes Vacation Home Rentals shall notify Guest promptly upon discovery of a rental rate discrepancy and Guest shall be given the choice to either (i) pay the applicable rental rate, or (ii) Book an alternative property. If Guest rejects alternatives (i) and (ii), Hayes Vacation Home Rentals may immediately cancel the Booking by email notice to Guest. In such event, Guest’s sole remedy, and Hayes Vacation Home Rentals’ and Manager’s sole liability, shall be a full refund of any payments collected from Guest as of the date of notice. Upon payment of such refund, neither Hayes Vacation Home Rentals nor Manager shall have any further or additional liability or obligation to Guest, and Guest hereby releases Hayes Vacation Home Rentals and Manager from any such liability.

G. Chargebacks: Guest acknowledges and agrees that under the terms of this Agreement certain charges are nonrefundable upon satisfaction of the specified conditions. In the event Guest attempts a chargeback that Hayes Vacation Home Rentals, upon reasonable investigation, concludes is in violation of this Agreement, Hayes Vacation Home Rentals may in its sole discretion dispute such chargeback as a breach of this Agreement through all available means, including without limitation, by third-party debt collection services, in which event Hayes Vacation Home Rentals shall be entitled to recover the cost of collection in addition to any other sums that may be due hereunder. Guest shall pay Hayes Vacation Home Rentals an administration fee of $250 per chargeback, to be charged to Guest’s credit card on file with Hayes Vacation Home Rentals, for each chargeback submitted by Guest, to cover the cost incurred by Hayes Vacation Home Rentals in the chargeback process. The administration fee is payable regardless of the chargeback outcome.

H. Guest Details: Guest acknowledges and confirms that all personal details such as but not limited to: home/permanent address, full name, age, reason for booking, payment details and so forth, submitted as part of the reservation process are true and accurate.

3. Late Departure: Guest agrees there shall be no holding over or late departure without prior email or documented “online chat” approval. Any unauthorized holding over by Guest shall be subject to a charge of 1 and 1/2 times the daily prorated rent (“Holdover Rate”), plus any additional damages incurred including, but not limited to, the cost of alternative housing for other guests displaced by Guest’s holding over, taxes and administrative fees incurred by the Manager.

4. Extra Cleaning: If the condition of the Property following the rental term requires extra cleaning beyond such standard level, or if Guest at any time requests additional cleaning services, Guest shall be solely responsible for the cost of such cleaning, and Guest hereby authorizes and directs Hayes Vacation Home Rentals to affirmatively charge or debit, as the case may be, such amounts from Guest’s charge or debit account on file with Hayes Vacation Home Rentals.

5. Refunds: No refund shall be given for cancellations due to, severe weather, road closures, traffic delays, early departures, or illness or injury.

6. Utilities/Telephone: Manager is to pay for all utilities, Guest may use the telephone for local calls only and should use a credit card or call collect to make any long-distance international calls. Guest agrees to pay for all long-distance international telephone charges during their stay and acknowledges that these charges may be levied on their credit card up to three months after check out.

A. Reporting: You must report the Unintentional Damage to Manager or Hayes Vacation Home Rentals promptly upon occurrence and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours from the end of your Booking.

Upon receipt of such notice, Manager shall undertake good faith efforts to obtain what Manager concludes in its sole reasonable discretion is reasonably appropriate relief for Guest, including by way of example only, sourcing services required to remedy the Property’s non-conforming condition, obtaining a rental fee discount from Manager, or locating alternative local accommodations having features that Manager reasonably concludes match or exceed those offered by the Property as originally represented.
