Terms of the Agreement:

Arrival/Departure. Arrival time is after 4:00 PM and departure is by 11:00 AM. No early arrivals or late departures are permitted unless arranged in advance of arrival. If other times are desired, we will do our best to facilitate when possible.

No Landlord Tenant Relationship. This agreement is for a short-term vacation rental and does not create a landlord tenant relationship.

Hudson Valley Housekeeping and Management LLC is the Booking Software, and is not a party to the the relationship between the Renter and the Owner. The Owner is solely responsible for the Travel Experience.

No Smoking. This is a strictly non-smoking home, but guests are welcome to smoke outside (and dispose properly of butts). Additional fees will be assessed based on evidence of smoking indoors.

Renter shall not, or permit any of Renter's guests to, (a) keep any item of a dangerous, flammable or explosive character that might unreasonably increase the danger of fire or explosion or that might be considered hazardous or extra hazardous by any responsible insurance company; (b) engage in the manufacture, sale, distribution, use, or possession with intent to manufacture, sell, distribute or use illegal drugs, controlled substances or drug paraphernalia; (c) engage in acts of violence or threats of violence, including, but not limited to, displaying, discharging, or possessing a firearm, knife, or other weapon that may threaten, alarm or intimidate others; or (d) engage in any other illegal activities.

Payment. Hudson Valley Housekeeping and Management LLC accepts all major credit cards.

House information and policies. Renter will comply with all instructions provided to Renter. Additional fees may be assessed upon Renter departure for failure to comply with the information sheet guidelines or if the condition of the house upon departure requires excessive cleaning, including but not limited to:

a. All debris, rubbish and discards are properly put in tied garbage bags and placed in garbage cans, soiled dishes are washed, the items on the departure instructions have been completed and the house is left broom clean. Additional fees will be assessed if excessive cleaning is required.

d. All charges accrued during your stay are paid prior to departure.

f. Maximum occupancy has not been exceeded.

Maximum Occupancy. The maximum occupancy is as stated unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Cancellation. Both owners and guests may cancel up to 30 days prior to arrival. For bookings cancelled up to 30 days prior to arrival, Hudson Valley Housekeeping and Management LLC. will refund the full nightly rate and all fees, less the booking fee. The rental rate for a cancellation made less than 30 days in advance is non-refundable unless we can find a replacement booking. If a replacement booking is found, the nightly rate can be refunded less a 20% service fee. The rental rate for an early departure is non-refundable. A cancellation at any point prior to arrival may receive a refund for pet fees and cleaning fees. Hudson Valley Housekeeping and Management LLC reserves the right to cancel a reservation at any time due to unforeseen circumstances or "acts of God". Unforeseen circumstances or "acts of God" that prohibit a Renter from arrival or limit enjoyment of stay do not warrant a refund.

Security Deposit. The Security Deposit covers guests for unintentional damage caused by their party during the active reservation. Guests should notify us immediately should damage occur, whether minor or major. Damage protection does not cover small items, such as a wine glass or plate, and our Homeowners thank you for taking particular care with such items. This is a mandatory, refundable fee that covers you should any accidental damage occur during your stay. What is not covered is damage caused by negligence, or caused while breaking any of the rules provided for the property. Having guest numbers that exceed the maximum occupancy negates coverage.

Falsified Reservations. Any reservations obtained under false pretense will be subject to forfeiture of advance payment, deposit and/or rental money, and the party will not be permitted to enter the house.

Changes in Writing. Any exceptions in the terms of this agreement, modification of any policies in this agreement or the information sheets must be approved in writing and agreed to before arrival. No changes in terms or policies will be made after arrival.

Termination of Renter’s Occupancy. Renter’s occupancy may be terminated based on inappropriate or unlawful behavior that violates New York Law and/or the protocols established by the Owners. If the occupancy is terminated under this provision, Renter is not entitled to a refund. Exceeding the maximum number of guests stated for a property could also result in immediate termination with no refund.

Personal Property. Renter is responsible for securing all personal property, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Owners of the rental property and Hudson Valley Housekeeping and Management LLC. from any damage to or loss of any of Renter’s personal property and acknowledges that the Owners of the rental property and Hudson Valley Housekeeping and Management LLC. are not responsible for any damages, stolen items, personal accidents, etc. that might occur to you, your visitors or your belongings while you are a guest at the rental property.

Child-proofing. Renter acknowledges that the house has not been child-proofed and will inspect the house upon arrival and take all precautionary steps to protect the children of Renter and indemnify and hold harmless the Owners of the rental property and Hudson Valley Housekeeping and Management LLC. from any injury arising from the lack of child-proofing including reasonable attorney’s fees.

Property Use. The property may not be used for events, parties or photo shoots of any description without prior consultation with us and permission granted in writing and appropriate fees paid.

Severability. Should any section or any part of any section of this agreement be rendered void, invalid, or unenforceable by any court of law, for any reason, such a determination shall not render void, invalid, or unenforceable any other section or part of any section in this agreement.

Renter’s guests and their visitors are welcome to use the rental property, which may include waterways, river, lake, pool, steep hills or other potential hazards, and Renter agrees to hold harmless and agree to indemnify Owners of the rental property and Hudson Valley Housekeeping and Management LLC from any accidents or incidents that result from use of the house and any other part of the rental property property including reasonable attorney’s fees.
