ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

Guest(s) recognizes and agrees that by allowing guest(s) to use the owner's home, the owner is relinquishing an inherently personal thing to guest(s) and, thus, the owner places a high degree of trust in guest(s) that they will treat the property with the utmost respect. To that end, guest(s) agrees that any violation of the Alcoholic Beverages provision included in this contract, including but not limited to the use of illicit drugs, is a serious violation of the owner's trust and thus causes the owner substantial damage. These violations of trust damages are inherently difficult to measure and, thus, guest(s) agree that any violation of the Alcoholic Beverages provision above shall entitle the owner to agreed liquidated damages for that violation of trust in the amount of $5,000. The owner also retains the right to pursue actual damages to the property resulting from the violation.

It is against our Policy to refund any rent because of internet related failures.
