Guest Rental Agreement, Credit Card Authorization, Damage Waiver, and Terms & Conditions

This agreement is intended to be signed by each reserving guest and incorporated into Chosen guest-facing Terms and Conditions.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: BY BOOKING, PAYING FOR, OCCUPYING, OR SIGNING FOR A CHOSEN PROPERTY, GUEST AGREES TO THESE TERMS IN FULL.

1. Agreement Acceptance and Guest Responsibility

Please read this Guest Rental Agreement, Credit Card Authorization, Damage Waiver, and Terms & Conditions (“Agreement”) carefully before occupancy begins. Any monies received by Chosen Vacation Rentals Inc., its affiliates, agents, owners, managers, employees, representatives, or the property owner, for occupancy of the vacation rental property indicated in the reservation shall constitute acceptance of this Agreement in full.

All policies are strictly enforced. It is the responsibility of the reserving guest, all approved guests, invitees, minors, and any persons allowed onto the property during the reservation to be familiar with and comply with all policies pertaining to the rental.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Chosen,” “Management,” and “Property Manager” refer to Chosen Vacation Rentals Inc. and its authorized agents or representatives. “Owner” refers to the owner of the property. “Guest,” “Primary Guest,” or “Renter” refers to the individual placing the reservation and entering into this Agreement. “Invitees” means all occupants, visitors, family members, minors, service providers invited by Guest, and any person allowed onto the Premises by Guest. “Premises” means the furnished real property and all improvements, furniture, fixtures, equipment, amenities, landscaping, and appurtenant areas made available to Guest.

2. Renter Requirements and Primary Guest Status

The person placing the reservation must be the same person as the credit card or debit card holder unless Chosen approves otherwise in writing. This person is deemed the Primary Guest and is responsible for all communications regarding reservation, cancellation, payment, damage, conduct, occupancy, and policy compliance.

All other persons involved with the rental are considered invitees of the Primary Guest. Chosen is not required to discuss reservation, cancellation, damage, payment, or policy matters with invitees. The Primary Guest is jointly and individually responsible for the actions, omissions, damages, charges, violations, and conduct of all invitees.

3. Reservations and Property Approval

All reservations are subject to Management and Owner approval. Online rates, availability, fees, and property information are subject to change until the reservation is confirmed. Should there be an issue with a reservation, Chosen will make reasonable efforts to contact Guest.

Guest rents the Premises for vacation, transient, residential, or otherwise approved short-term occupancy purposes only. Guest shall not acquire any tenancy rights, leasehold rights, or other possessory rights beyond the limited license to occupy the Premises during the confirmed reservation dates.

4. Payments, Deposits, and Non-Refundable Amounts

Unless otherwise stated in the reservation confirmation, all payments are non-refundable. Reservations made more than sixty (60) days prior to the arrival date may require a deposit due when the reservation is made, and the remaining balance of the reservation cost due on the date that is sixty (60) days prior to the arrival date. Such balance may be charged automatically to the same credit card used for the reservation unless otherwise approved by Chosen in writing.

For reservations made within sixty (60) days of the arrival date, the total cost of the reservation shall be due at the time the reservation is made. Full payment must be received prior to check-in. Failure to timely pay any required amount may result in cancellation, forfeiture of amounts paid, denial of access, or other remedies available to Chosen.

Guest authorizes Chosen to charge the credit card on file for amounts due under the reservation and this Agreement, including rent, taxes, fees, balances, additional services, damages, fines, excessive cleaning, missing items, pet-related charges, unauthorized occupancy, unauthorized late departure, and costs incurred to remove Guest or invitees from the property.

5. Optional Cancellation Waiver

Reservations are non-refundable unless a cancellation waiver or other approved cancellation protection is purchased at the time of booking and reflected on the reservation breakdown. If offered, the cancellation waiver costs ten percent (10%) of the gross rental fee and allows Guest to cancel for any reason up to forty-eight (48) hours prior to the check-in date.

The cancellation waiver may only be purchased at the time the reservation is made. If Guest purchased the waiver, Guest must provide notice of cancellation by calling and emailing Chosen at least forty-eight (48) hours before the scheduled check-in date. If properly cancelled under this waiver, Chosen will issue a refund or credit to the original payment method, minus the cost of the waiver and any non-refundable amounts stated in the reservation, within a reasonable processing period, typically five (5) to seven (7) business days.

If the waiver was not purchased, or if Guest fails to cancel in the required manner and timeframe, the standard cancellation policy applies.

6. Cancellations, Refunds, and Rebooking Credit

All payments are non-refundable unless expressly stated otherwise in writing or unless a valid cancellation waiver applies. If the reservation is cancelled more than sixty (60) days before the arrival date, the deposit payment may be returned to Guest and Guest may be released from financial liability for the remaining balance only if stated in the reservation terms or approved by Chosen.

Cancellations within sixty (60) days of the arrival date shall result in Chosen retaining one hundred percent (100%) of reservation costs, less any paid security deposit or unused damage waiver (if applicable) returned to Guest. If Chosen is able to replace Guest’s reservation and rebook the dates, Chosen may, in its discretion, credit Guest up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the cancelled reservation cost toward a future reservation. Such credit, if offered, is not guaranteed, has no cash value, is non-transferable, and may be subject to expiration or restrictions.

Power outages, weather, road conditions, wildfire, smoke, snow conditions, natural disasters, construction, utility interruptions, public or private events, government action, acts of God, and other circumstances beyond Chosen’s control do not entitle Guest to a refund unless otherwise required by law or expressly stated in writing. Travel and/or vacation rental insurance is strongly recommended.

7. Unavailability or Substitution of Property

If, for any reason beyond the reasonable control of Chosen or Owner, the Premises become unavailable, unsafe, uninhabitable, sold, withdrawn from rental, materially damaged, or otherwise unsuitable for occupancy, Management may substitute a comparable property where available or cancel this Agreement and refund amounts paid by Guest for the unavailable stay. This shall be Guest’s sole remedy for unavailability unless otherwise required by law.

8. Arrival, Check-In, and Early Arrival

Check-in time is always 4:00 PM on the arrival date. This time may be delayed if unforeseen circumstances arise, including but not limited to maintenance, cleaning, inspection, prior guest departure delays, or conditions outside Chosen’s control.

Early check-in may be available for an additional fee if approved in advance by Chosen. Unless Guest has received written confirmation of an early check-in time from the reservation team, Guest may not arrive at or access the Premises before 4:00 PM.

9. Departure, Check-Out, and Late Departure

Check-out time is always 10:00 AM on the departure date. Prompt departure is required so Chosen can prepare the Premises for incoming guests, inspections, cleaning, maintenance, or owner use.

Late check-out may be available for an additional fee if approved in advance by Chosen. If Guest has not arranged and received written confirmation of a late check-out, Guest may be charged for each hour, or portion thereof, beyond 10:00 AM that Guest or invitees remain on the property. If the Premises have not been fully vacated by 12:00 PM local time, Guest may be charged an additional night, plus any expenses, penalties, relocation costs, or losses resulting from the delay.

10. Upon Arrival and Condition of Premises

Upon arrival, Guest shall examine the Premises, including all furniture, furnishings, appliances, fixtures, amenities, equipment, landscaping, and visible conditions. Guest must immediately report in writing any concerns, damages, missing items, malfunctioning items, unsafe conditions, or cleanliness issues to Chosen.

No refunds, credits, or considerations will be given unless Chosen is notified of the problem during the stay and given a reasonable opportunity to address it. Reporting repairs or concerns does not give Guest the right to cancel the Agreement or receive a refund.

11. Emergencies, Maintenance, and System Failures

In the event of a problem accessing the Premises, a condition issue, a functionality issue, or an emergency, Guest shall immediately contact Chosen using the contact information provided in the reservation materials. If there is no answer, Guest should leave a message and provide written notice where possible. If after hours, Chosen will make reasonable efforts to respond as soon as possible.

In the event the rental unit sustains a failure of any system, including but not limited to water, sewer, septic, electrical, gas, plumbing, mechanical, appliances, HVAC, heat pump, ventilation, pool, spa, hot tub, internet, television, satellite, structural systems, or other equipment, neither Chosen nor Owner shall be liable to Guest for damages, inconvenience, or refunds, except where required by law. Chosen will make reasonable efforts to promptly inspect, repair, or replace failed systems or equipment, and Guest agrees to permit access for such inspection and repairs.

12. Damage Waiver, Security Deposit, and Credit Card Authorization

Properties are inspected before and after each reservation. Guest agrees to pay for any damage, accidental damage not covered by an applicable waiver, excessive cleaning, missing or damaged contents, unauthorized use, fines, assessments, repairs, replacements, service calls, service charges, taxes, and other costs arising during the rental period or caused by Guest or invitees relating to the Premises.

Guest’s reservation may include a damage waiver, a security deposit, a credit card hold, or another damage protection arrangement. If a damage waiver is charged, it may cover accidental damage up to the stated amount, such as $1,500.00, if applicable to the reservation. Damage waiver coverage does not apply to intentional acts, gross negligence, pet damage unless expressly included, unauthorized parties, smoking, excessive cleaning, policy violations, fines, missing items, or damages exceeding the waiver amount unless Chosen agrees otherwise in writing.

If damages, losses, fines, or charges exceed the amount of any damage waiver, deposit, or hold, or if no deposit was collected, Guest authorizes Chosen to charge the credit card on file for all remaining costs. Guest hereby grants consent to charge the credit card on file for any damages, missing or damaged contents, excessive cleaning, fines, assessments, repairs, replacements, service calls, service charges, unauthorized occupancy, pet-related damage, smoking-related damage, late departure, and costs incurred to remove Guest or invitees from the property.

13. Approved Guests, Occupancy, and Capacity Restrictions

The Premises are for the sole use of approved guests as a personal vacation residence. Guest may not exceed the maximum occupancy for the property at any time. Approved guests are the persons identified to Chosen as occupying the Premises.

Sleeping capacity is limited to the number and type of beds provided unless Chosen approves otherwise in writing. Twin beds sleep one (1) guest; double, queen, and king beds sleep two (2) guests each. Extra guests beyond maximum sleeping capacity are not allowed without express written permission in advance. Often, extra sleeping capacity is not possible at a property.

Each additional guest exceeding maximum sleeping capacity or approved occupancy may incur a charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the nightly rental rate, per guest, per night, or another amount stated by Chosen, and may be charged to the credit card on file. Unauthorized people at the Premises at any time may result in extra charges, immediate removal, termination of occupancy, forfeiture of payments, and charges for damages, disturbance, and cleaning.

14. No Parties, Events, Weddings, Commercial Use, or Nuisance Activity

All Chosen rentals are located in residential or community settings and may not be used for parties, weddings, receptions, events, commercial activity, photo shoots, filming, retreats, ticketed events, large gatherings, or other unapproved uses without Chosen’s prior written permission.

The rental is not intended for parties or gatherings of anyone except those who have paid and been approved to occupy the property. Exceptions may be made on an individual basis only with prior written approval from Chosen. Any disruptive event or unapproved use may result in immediate eviction or removal, forfeiture of all payments, loss of security deposit, and additional charges.

15. Noise Policy, Noise Monitors, Quiet Hours, and Neighborhood Safety

Chosen maintains a strict no-tolerance policy regarding excessive noise, parties, disturbing neighbors, nuisance activity, and violations of local ordinances or house rules. Guest must ensure all invitees comply with this policy at all times.

For guest safety, property protection, and neighborhood safety, the Premises may be equipped with noise monitoring devices. These devices are intended to monitor decibel levels and do not record conversations. Guest acknowledges and agrees that noise monitoring may be used to identify excessive noise, verify compliance, and protect the surrounding neighborhood.

Quiet hours are 9:00 PM to 8:00 AM. No excessive noise, loud music, disruptive behavior, loud vehicles, outdoor shouting, amplified sound, or other disturbances are permitted during quiet hours or at any other time. If there is excessive noise or music past quiet hours, illegal activity, nuisance activity, or evidence of violation of these policies, Guest and invitees may be asked to vacate the Premises without refund, and additional charges may be assessed.

Noise or neighborhood violations may result in warnings, fines, removal from the home, forfeiture of payments, additional fees, local enforcement action, or all of the foregoing.

16. Pet Policy

Pets are permitted only at pet-approved properties and only with prior written approval from Chosen. If pets are not approved for the reservation, no pets are allowed except as may be required by law. If an unauthorized pet is discovered on the Premises, Guest will be in breach of this Agreement and may be required to leave without refund, and additional cleaning, damage, deodorizing, pest treatment, and administrative fees may apply.

Where pets are approved, Guest agrees to comply with all pet rules. Pets are not allowed on furniture or beds. Pets may not be left alone or unattended at the home unless expressly confirmed and approved by the host in writing. Guest is responsible for supervising, controlling, and cleaning up after all pets at all times.

Any damages, stains, odors, hair removal, scratches, yard damage, pest treatment, excessive cleaning, noise complaints, or other costs caused by pets will result in additional charges. Failure to comply with this pet policy will result in additional charges and may result in removal from the property without refund.

17. Smoking, Fireplaces, Candles, and Fire Safety

Smoking, vaping, and the use of tobacco, cannabis, or similar products are not permitted at the Premises unless expressly permitted in designated outdoor areas by the house rules. If smoking occurs or tobacco, cannabis, or smoke odors are detected after departure, Guest is responsible for all related damage, stains, burns, odors, debris removal, deodorizing, remediation, and cleaning costs. Guest may also be required to immediately leave or be removed from the Premises without refund.

Guest must check the house rules to determine whether any fireplace, fire pit, BBQ, outdoor heater, or similar amenity is available for guest use. Guest shall use all fire-related amenities safely and only as instructed. Candles are not allowed due to fire hazard, except citronella candles in buckets outside or supplied emergency candles in case of power outage, if provided. Guest is liable for damage, injury, or loss caused by misuse of fireplaces, BBQs, candles, heaters, fire pits, or similar amenities.

18. Plumbing, Septic, and Utilities Use

Guest shall not place feminine products, wipes, paper towels, diapers, grease, food scraps, or any improper materials in toilets, sinks, drains, garbage disposals, or plumbing systems. Plungers may be provided for minor clogs. Guest shall not pour grease down drains. Any damages to plumbing, septic, sewer, drains, fixtures, or related systems caused by Guest misconduct, misuse, negligence, or failure to follow instructions may result in additional charges.

19. Cleaning, Excessive Cleaning, and Property Care

The Premises will be delivered to Guest in professionally cleaned condition. Guest shall keep the Premises clean, sanitary, and in reasonable condition during occupancy and shall properly use, operate, and safeguard all furnishings, appliances, systems, amenities, landscaping, and fixtures.

If Guest’s use, activity, pets, smoking, event, cooking, trash, stains, spills, or other conditions require more than regular cleaning services, Guest will be charged all associated excess costs. Guest shall pay for all repairs or replacements caused by Guest or invitees, excluding ordinary wear and tear. Guest shall pay for damage resulting from failure to report a problem, malfunction, or damage in a timely manner.

20. Rules, Regulations, House Rules, and Local Laws

Guest agrees to comply with all posted or delivered rules and regulations, house rules, HOA rules, community rules, local ordinances, parking rules, fire rules, pool and spa rules, waste rules, noise rules, and any instructions provided by Chosen before or during the stay.

Guest shall not, and shall ensure that invitees do not: disturb, annoy, endanger, or interfere with neighbors, other guests, community members, or the property; use the Premises for commercial or unlawful purposes; use, manufacture, sell, store, transport, or possess illegal substances or contraband; allow minors to possess alcohol; violate any law or ordinance; commit waste; or create a nuisance on or about the Premises.

21. Illegal Substances and Unlawful Activity

No illegal substances or unlawful activity are allowed on the Premises. Minors shall not possess or consume alcohol on the Premises. Violations may result in immediate eviction or removal from the property, forfeiture of payments, notification to appropriate authorities, and no refunds.

22. Right of Entry

Chosen, Management, Owner, and their representatives, vendors, contractors, or agents may enter the Premises at any time for the purpose of investigating disturbances, verifying occupancy, checking for damage, making necessary or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations, improvements, maintenance, providing services, responding to emergencies, or verifying Guest’s compliance with this Agreement.

Where reasonable and practicable, Chosen will provide notice prior to non-emergency entry. Management and its representatives may also enter upon reasonable notice, including at least twenty-four (24) hours where required or practical, to show the Premises to prospective or actual purchasers, tenants, mortgagees, lenders, appraisers, or contractors.

23. Security, Safety Risks, Children, and Personal Responsibility

Guest assumes responsibility for the Premises and its contents during the rental period, as well as Guest’s and invitees’ personal property. Guest must lock all doors and windows whenever leaving the Premises. Chosen does not assume responsibility for injuries, losses, theft, or damage resulting from Guest’s failure to use due caution.

Children must be supervised at all times. Guest acknowledges that residential properties may include natural hazards, stairs, uneven surfaces, decks, balconies, pools, spas, hot tubs, BBQs, fireplaces, fire pits, outdoor areas, wildlife, landscaping, tools, exercise equipment, ocean or mountain conditions, and other risks. Guest and invitees use the Premises, structures, amenities, and equipment at their own risk.

24. Personal Property, Vehicles, and Insurance

Guest personal property, including vehicles, is not insured by Owner, Chosen, Management, or any HOA against loss or damage due to fire, theft, vandalism, rain, water, criminal or negligent acts of others, weather, natural conditions, or any other cause. Chosen and Owner do not insure against personal injury to Guest, invitees, or licensees except to the extent required by law.

Chosen recommends that Guest obtain travel, vacation rental, personal property, medical, and liability insurance as appropriate to protect Guest, invitees, minors, and their personal property from loss, damage, injury, cancellation, interruption, or other risks.

25. TV, Cable, Internet, Satellite, and Technology Services

Television, cable, internet, Wi-Fi, satellite, streaming, smart devices, and technology services are provided as a convenience only and are not integral to this Agreement. No refund shall be given for outages, number of devices, content, lack of content, speed, access problems, personal preferences, lack of knowledge of use, or interruption of such services. Chosen will make reasonable efforts to troubleshoot issues where possible but cannot guarantee service quality or availability.

26. Air Conditioning, Heating, and Climate Control

If the Premises are equipped with air conditioning or heating, and unless otherwise regulated by house rules, Guest agrees that air conditioning shall not be set below 72 degrees and heat shall not be set above 78 degrees, and that the fan setting shall remain on ‘Auto.’ Doors and windows must be closed when heat or air conditioning is operating.

There are no refunds for lack of air conditioning, lack of heating, personal temperature preferences, or malfunctioning HVAC units, except where required by law. Guest is responsible for damage caused by misuse of HVAC systems.

27. Pool, Spa, Hot Tub, Sauna, Wellness Amenities, BBQ, and Outdoor Equipment

If the Premises include a pool, spa, hot tub, sauna, cold plunge, gym equipment, BBQ, fire pit, outdoor shower, bicycles, surfboards, or other amenities, Guest agrees to use all amenities responsibly, safely, and only in accordance with posted instructions and house rules. Spa heating may be included if stated. Pool heating, unless solar-equipped or otherwise stated, may be an additional fee and must be paid for prior to use.

Guest agrees not to tamper with pool, spa, hot tub, sauna, HVAC, electrical, gas, or other equipment controls, and not to manipulate heaters or support equipment in any way. Pool heat shall not exceed 86 degrees unless otherwise approved. Guest understands that pool, spa, hot tub, sauna, wellness, and outdoor amenity areas may not be fenced, secured, or supervised.

28. Mail, Packages, and Deliveries

Guest may ship items directly to the Premises using FedEx, UPS, or other carriers during the stay where permitted by the property, but Chosen cannot guarantee delivery, timing, security, retrieval, or condition of any package. Guest is responsible for arranging shipping, receipt, access, and returns.

Chosen is not responsible for lost, damaged, delayed, stolen, misdelivered, or late deliveries. Returning late deliveries after Guest has departed may incur an additional handling fee plus shipping costs.

29. Lost, Stolen, Forgotten, or Abandoned Items

Management assumes no responsibility for lost, stolen, forgotten, or abandoned items. Reasonable efforts may be made to contact Guest for return of located items.

HOAs or residential neighborhoods may not allow street parking or restrict parking at certain times. Improperly parked vehicles may be ticketed, towed, or subject to fines at Guest’s sole expense.

Chosen is not responsible for tickets, towing, damage, theft, weather exposure, road conditions, or vehicle-related losses. Guest should be prepared for local driving conditions and shall not block neighbors, driveways, fire lanes, trash access, or emergency access.

31. Weather, Nature, Pests, Construction, and External Conditions

Chosen cannot be held responsible for circumstances beyond its control, including but not limited to weather conditions, wildfire, smoke, storms, road closures, utility interruptions, frozen pipes, natural disasters, pests, insects, wildlife, construction, public or private events, neighborhood noise, landscaping, maintenance in the area, acts of God, or unexpected appliance breakdown. No refunds shall be available for such instances unless required by law or expressly agreed by Chosen in writing.

Properties advertised with location-based access, views, beaches, trail access, walkability, ski access, or similar features may be affected by weather, public closures, maintenance, natural conditions, tides, smoke, fire risk, road closures, or government action. Chosen does not guarantee uninterrupted access to such external features.

32. Indemnification and Hold Harmless

While Chosen and property owners strive to maintain properties in excellent condition, no guarantees are expressed or implied regarding suitability for any particular purpose. Guest and invitees use the Premises, structures, amenities, equipment, furnishings, and surrounding areas at their own risk.

Guest agrees to indemnify, defend, release, and hold harmless Owner, Chosen, Management, and their respective members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, attorneys, assigns, affiliates, contractors, and property owners from and against all claims, demands, losses, disputes, litigation, liabilities, costs, expenses, judgments, penalties, attorney fees, damages, injuries, death, property loss, or causes of action arising out of or in any way connected with Guest’s or invitees’ use or occupancy of the Premises, conduct, breach of this Agreement, negligence, misuse of the property, or presence on the Premises, except to the extent prohibited by law.

33. Release of Liability

In consideration of the right to visit and occupy the Premises, Guest agrees to release, to the fullest extent allowed by law, Owner, Chosen, Management, and their members, officers, associates, employees, agents, representatives, attorneys, assigns, and affiliates from all liability or responsibility of any kind for any personal injury, death, property damage, or other loss sustained by Guest, minor children, approved guests, invitees, or any person allowed onto the property during the rental dates, due to any cause whatsoever, including without limitation negligence, except to the extent such release is prohibited by law. Guest understands that this release will bind Guest’s heirs, administrators, executors, and any other person or entity seeking to claim under or through Guest.

34. Termination of Occupancy and Removal

Upon check-out or termination of occupancy, Guest shall return all keys, cards, remotes, fobs, garage openers, and access devices; vacate the Premises and surrender it to Management empty of all persons by the agreed time; vacate all parking and storage areas; remove personal property and trash as instructed; and deliver the Premises in the same condition received, less ordinary wear and tear.

Chosen may terminate occupancy, deny access, or remove Guest and invitees without refund if Guest breaches this Agreement, exceeds occupancy, hosts a party or event, creates a nuisance, violates noise rules, engages in illegal activity, brings unauthorized pets, smokes in violation of policy, damages the Premises, refuses access, or otherwise creates a safety, property, legal, or neighborhood concern. Guest shall be responsible for all costs incurred to remove Guest or invitees from the property.

35. Mediation and Dispute Resolution

Guest agrees to mediate any dispute or claim arising out of this Agreement or any resulting transaction before resorting to arbitration or court action, unless emergency relief, collections, eviction, removal, or other immediate action is required. Mediation fees, if any, shall be divided equally among the parties involved unless otherwise agreed or ordered.

36. Joint and Individual Obligations

If there is more than one Guest, each Guest shall be jointly and severally responsible for the performance of all obligations under this Agreement. The Primary Guest remains responsible for all invitees, minors, visitors, and persons allowed onto the Premises.

37. Entire Agreement; Severability; Waiver

Time is of the essence. All prior agreements, representations, communications, and understandings between Owner, Chosen, and Guest are incorporated into this Agreement, which constitutes the entire contract between the parties regarding the reservation and occupancy of the Premises. This Agreement is intended as the final expression of the parties’ agreement and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior agreement or contemporaneous oral agreement.

The parties intend that this Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive statement of its terms. Any provision held to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. The waiver of any breach shall not be construed as a continuing waiver of the same breach or any subsequent breach.

38. Authorization

By payment, or by occupancy of the Premises, Guest confirms that Guest has read, understands, and agrees to all terms and conditions of this Agreement and authorizes the credit card on file to be charged for all amounts due under the reservation and this Agreement.

Guest acknowledges that this Agreement may be included in Chosen’s guest-facing Terms and Conditions and may be incorporated by reference into direct booking, platform booking, invoice, folio, payment authorization, guest portal, or pre-arrival communications.
