8. Liability and Disclaimer

The Host is not liable for loss, theft, or damage to personal belongings.
The website and services are provided "as is" without any warranties, express or implied.
While we strive to ensure the accuracy of the information provided on our website, we do not guarantee its completeness or reliability.
Guests accept all risks inherent in the use of the Premises. The Host’s insurance does not cover guests’ personal property or liabilities.
The Guest indemnifies the Host against all claims arising from use of the Premises.
Pool Risks (Unfenced): Guests use the unfenced pool at their own risk and assume full responsibility for supervision of children and all occupants. No lifeguard is provided; the Host is not liable for drownings, slips, or other pool-related incidents. Guests must prevent unsupervised access, especially by children under 12.
Wet Tile Slips and Falls: Wet tiles around the pool, bathrooms, and kitchen may be slippery. Guests agree to walk cautiously, use provided mats when available, and dry floors promptly. The Host is not liable for injuries from slips unless caused by gross negligence.
Stair Trips and Handrail Use: Stairs present trip hazards; guests must use the solid balustrade for support, not decorative cables, which are for aesthetics only. Hold rails at all times, especially when carrying items. The Host disclaims liability for falls unless due to property defects reported and unaddressed.
Glass Guard Rails (Roof and Balconies): Glass guard rails on the roof terrace and balconies are structural but frangible. Do not lean, sit, or apply excessive force; use only for visual barriers. Guests assume risks of breakage or falls; Host not liable except for proven defects.
Door-Related Injuries: Sliding closet doors, outdoor patio doors, and other sliders may cause finger pinches. Operate slowly and keep hands clear of tracks and edges; supervise children. The outdoor sliding doors are clear glass—guests must take extreme caution to avoid walking into them, especially at night or in low light; use provided markers or lights if available. Guests release the Host from liability for such injuries.
General Indemnity Expansion: Guests indemnify and hold the Host harmless from all claims, injuries, or damages arising from use of the premises, including the above risks, even if involving minors in their party. Guests confirm they have inspected photos/videos of the property and accept it "as is."
Damage to Property and Charging for Breakages: Guests are responsible for any damage, breakage, or loss to the property, furnishings, appliances, linens, dishes, glassware, or other items caused by the guest or their party during the stay, beyond normal wear and tear. The Host will charge the security deposit (or pursue additional costs if exceeding the deposit amount) for repairs, replacements, or cleaning at current market rates, including labor. Examples include, but are not limited to: broken glassware, damaged furniture, stained linens, or clogged drains from misuse. Guests agree to report any breakage or damage immediately upon discovery; failure to do so may result in full charges. Charges will be documented with photos and receipts, provided to the guest upon request.

Breach of terms may result in immediate termination, requiring Guests to vacate promptly.
