This Rental Agreement constitutes a contract between you, the Guest(s) and BD Properties Hawaii, LLC dba Exclusive Villa Retreats (Company). “Guest” refers to and includes all those in the invited party of the registered Guest who executes this contract. No amendments to or deletions from these terms shall be valid unless expressly accepted by the Company and confirmed in writing. This contract is not transferable.

Please read this Rental Agreement thoroughly. Any monies paid to and received by the Company for occupancy of the rental property indicate the acceptance of these terms and conditions.

It is the responsibility of the Guest(s) to be familiar with all policies within this agreement.

1. RESERVATION REQUIREMENTS- Reservations are not considered "guaranteed" and this Rental Agreement does not become binding until an initial payment is received by the Company at the appropriate office. Final payment including all taxes, cleaning fee and service fee is required 60 days prior to arrival date. Reservations consisting of five or less rental nights or reservations booked 60 days or less prior to arrival date are required to pay in full upon reservation date. If payment in full is not received by the Company per these requirements, the reservation is subject to cancellation without refund.

2. ACCEPTED FORMS OF PAYMENT– Credit cards or direct deposit are preferred. We accept the following credit cards: MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express.

3. CHARGES– The total due includes rental rate, one-time departure cleaning fee, one-time service fee of $79 and applicable taxes. A valid credit card must be on file and a $5,000 security deposit will be placed on hold five days prior to arrival and released ten days after departure provided there is no damage. Optional services including mid-stay housekeeping, grocery delivery, etc. must be requested and will be charged accordingly.

4. CANCELLATIONS, REFUND POLICIES & CHANGE FEES- Cancellations made within 120 days of arrival are subject to our No Refund Policy therefore it is highly recommended that the Guest(s) obtain travel insurance to protect against unexpected events, cancellations, and any personal liabilities.

Cancellations made 121 days or more before arrival are entitled to 50% refund of all money paid to date.  The Company may allow a guest to move their reservation dates provided the dates of the request to change are available. Travel must be completed within 12 months of the original reservation dates.

A one-time change fee of $500 is charged at the time of re-booking if the original reservation arrival date is more than 120 days out.  If Guest requests to move their reservation dates within 120 days of arrival, a change fee equivalent to two nights of the current published nightly rental rate is added to the reservation.  Guest agrees to pay the published nightly rate for each night of the new reservation at the time of re-booking if the published rates are higher than the original booked rates.  If the Guest changes a high season week for dates with a lower nightly rate, no monies are refunded.  All payments are due according to the original structure of 50% of total due at the time of booking and balance paid 60 days prior to arrival. Should current published rates be less than the original nightly rate, there is no refund for the difference.  This offer is only available once. If Guest(s) requests to re-book or cancel again, the reservation is cancelled and all monies are forfeited by the Guest.
No refunds will be given in the event the requested date(s) are not available.

The Company’s No Refund Policy includes, but is not limited to:
No refunds or rent reductions due to failure of appliances or equipment, delayed arrival, early departures, or unexpected mishap. Additionally, the Company shall not be liable for events beyond their control which may interfere with Guest(s) occupancy, including but not limited to Acts of God, acts of governmental agencies, pandemics, fire, strikes, war, or inclement weather.  NO REBATE OR REFUND will be offered in these circumstances.

OPTIONAL ADD-ON CLEANING SERVICES: To ensure we can accommodate your requests; it is advisable to make these arrangements at the time of booking.
Each vacation home has at least one washer and dryer and basic cleaning solutions, but should you prefer to have a housekeeper come in to tidy up or change linens, we are happy to arrange any of these services. Payment is due to the cleaner at the time of cleaning. Please contact us for current rates.

6. DAMAGE DEPOSIT- The credit card used to pay for the reservation will be used to place a $5,000.00 damage deposit hold to cover any damages. This amount will be placed on hold 5 days prior to arrival and released within 10 days of departure provided there are no damages or additional charges incurred.
This damage deposit guarantees payment for damages to property, structure or furnishings including but not limited to permanent soiling and staining of linens; property damage or loss; excessive utility charges exceeding $100.00 per week; unpaid telephone bills; on demand movies, or any other damages or loss caused during the Guest’s rental period, either by the Guest, by others in the Guest’s party, or by others invited to the rental home during the Guest’s rental period, or for incidental services provided at the Guest’s request before or during occupancy of the Property. Charges may also be incurred if we receive complaints about excessive noise or disturbances as outlined in Section 10.

The Damage Deposit hold will be released within ten (10) days after Guest's departure; EXCEPT THAT it is verified by the Company that material damage has been committed by Guest or other(s) in the Guest’s party to the furnishings, finishes or other parts of the Property. The Company will obtain estimates for repair and replacement and obtain contractor's bids. If the final estimates for repair or replacement are less than the Damage Deposit amount, the Company shall charge the portion of the Damage Deposit to cover the final costs and release the remaining portion to the Guest. Ordering and delivering of required repair materials or
replacement items and undertaking the repair and/or replacement will delay return of any remaining Damage Deposit until all such items are completed and the Property is restored to its original condition.

Should damages EXCEED the amount of the Damage Deposit, the credit card on file will be charged. If this credit card is declined for any reason, the Guest agrees to immediately upon request provide a credit card to cover any additional dollar amount over the standard Damage Deposit to pay for the repair and/or replacement of damaged property that exceeds the original Damage Deposit, regardless of whether the damages were caused by the Guest or another person(s) invited to the home by the Guest, during the Guest’s rental period. Should the damages caused by Guest or anyone in his/her party render the property un-rentable, daily rental rates will be charged to the Guest at the current nightly rate, for each day the property is un-rentable, along with any other charges caused by displacing future guests.

The Guest agrees to abide by Section 22 Governing Laws if any dispute should arise between the Guest and the Company regarding damages or charge backs to the credit card for damages or any other such matter that cannot be resolved speedily and amicably, and that arbitration will take place in the State of Hawaii, United States of America.
