VACATION RENTAL AGREEMENT

This Vacation Rental Agreement (“Agreement”) is for rental of the vacation rental property specified in a confirmed reservation (the “Property”). This Agreement is between: (1) Virtue Vacations (“Virtue Vacation” “we,” or “us”), acting for itself and for the owner of the Property (“Owner”), and (2) the person who is the responsible renter of the Property (collectively “Renter” or “you”).

By booking your rental of the Property with Virtue Vacations, you acknowledge that you have read and understand, and agree to be bound by, all terms, conditions, and policies in this Agreement.

RENTAL POLICIES AND GENERAL TERMS

Minimum Age.The “Minimum Age” to rent the Property is the age specified in any Unit-Specific Terms. If no age is specified in the Unit-Specific Terms, the Minimum Age is 21 years of age (or the minimum age required by law in the jurisdiction where the Property is located, if different). You agree to provide us with proof of age upon request. A parent or legal guardian must accompany all guests who are under the Minimum Age for the entire duration of the rental.
Responsible Renter.As the Renter, you agree to be an occupant of the Property for the entire duration of the rental. All other occupants will be family members, friends, other responsible adults over the Minimum Age, or accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. You agree to be solely responsible for your actions and the actions of all family members, guests, and invitees (collectively, “Occupants”) present at the Property at any time during your stay, and to ensure that all Occupants understand and comply with the Terms.
Good Neighbor Policy.Because the Property is a privately owned home, all Occupants must comply with this good neighbor policy. Please treat the Property with the same care you would use with your own residence and leave it in the same condition it was in when you arrived. To prevent theft of or damage to furnishings or your personal property, you agree to close and lock doors and windows when you are not present at the Property and upon check-out. You and other Occupants agree to conduct yourselves throughout your stay in a manner that is respectful of and not disruptive to neighbors, traffic flow, or the community and that will not prompt complaints to Virtue Vacation from police, neighbors, or neighborhood. Noise audible outside the Property is prohibited between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. You and other Occupants agree to abide by all applicable parking restrictions and limitations.
Maximum Occupancy.The number of people present at the Property may not exceed the maximum posted occupancy unless we have given you advance written permission to hold an event at the Property, in which case the number of people present at the Property may not exceed the maximum number of people authorized by Virtue Vacations.
No Smoking.No smoking is permitted inside the cottage.
No Permanent Residence.You agree that your use of the Property is on a temporary and transient basis only; that you may not use the Property as a permanent residence; and that your permanent residence is and will remain elsewhere than at the Property.

(If approved, additional conditions and fees may apply.) No tents or other structures may be erected on the property without our express written permission.

Criminal Activity Prohibited.Use of the Property for any criminal activity is prohibited and may result in fines, prosecution, and/or your immediate removal from the Property. This prohibition extends to use of the Property’s internet service, if any, for criminal activity, including but not limited to unlawful downloads of copyrighted material, including movies, music, software, or other material. We may cooperate with any investigation of alleged criminal activity that occurred at the Property during your stay.
Payment Terms; Fraud.If you are paying by credit card you represent that you are the account holder or an authorized user of the account. If for any reason, Virtue Vacation believes your payment may be refused by the card processor, Virtue Vacation may ask you for a different form of payment. Upon Virtue Vacations request, you will immediately provide another form of payment and adequate proof that you are the account holder, or an authorized user of the account used for payment (such as a government-issued ID that matches the name on the account). Virtue Vacation may cancel your reservation or remove you and all Occupants from the Property immediately if you fail to provide a form of payment that can be validated by Virtue Vacation. We may share your credit card information and other information about you with law enforcement if we suspect fraud.
Consequences of Breach;Any failure by you or any other Occupants to comply with any of the terms, conditions, or policies above is a breach of this Agreement and may result in a forfeiture of your rights to rent the Property, up to and including immediate removal from the Property without refund and with or without the assistance of law enforcement. Virtue Vacation may terminate this Agreement for breach, and if you are notified of such termination you agree to leave the Property immediately.
L. Charges for Damage. In addition, you are responsible for, and you authorize us to bill your credit card on file for the full amount of: (1) any damage or loss that occurs at the Property during your stay; (2) a charge of up to $500 for violations of the pet policy (3) an additional cleaning fee of up to $200 (or the actual cost of cleaning services, if greater) for violations of any of the guest policies above (other than the pet policy) or for excessive cleaning required by the acts or omissions of any Occupant during your stay; and (4) any fines issued by police, other government officials or agencies, utility providers, and/or homeowner associations for violation of any law, ordinance, or rule during your stay, and any damages (which may exceed the amount of fines) that result from the violation.
