DESERT DANGERS Guest acknowledges that the Property is located in the “High Desert” of Southern California, which has unique forms of animal and plant life. This environment is inhabited by numerous animals who may harm humans or pets under certain conditions. These animals include coyotes, rattlesnakes, and bobcats, among others. These animals should be avoided altogether by Guests, other inhabitants of the Property, and guests of Guest, and Guest should take all necessary precautions to keep pets away from these animals. Plant life in the high desert includes, without limitation, chollas, Joshua Trees, and numerous forms of cacti. Contact with many of these plants can cause severe injury to Guest, other inhabitants, and guests of Guest, who should avoid contact with these plants altogether. Guest should also take precautions to keep pets away from these plants. Guest assumes all risk of harm from contact with animals and plants in the High Desert, and will hold Cohost harmless against any claims for loss, injury or damages resulting from such contact. POOLS A. Swimming pools, hot tubs, and cowboy tubs, (collectively “pools”), while providing exercise, recreation, and relaxation, can also be dangerous. People (as well as pets) can be severely injured or drown if a pool is not properly used. Guest, other occupants and the guests of Guest must adhere to the following safe practices regarding use of any pool on the Property: - No one should dive into the pool - No intoxicated persons may use the pool - No one should use the pool alone as there is no lifeguard on duty - Children may never be left unattended when they may gain access to the pool, not even for a few seconds - Regarding hot tubs, all persons should fully remove the hot tub cover before use; no one should sit or lie on the cover. Neither Cohost, the Property owner nor their employees or agents can assure the safety of persons using property containing a pool. As a consequence, Guest will assume liability for all losses, costs, damages, claims, liabilities and expenses related to pool use by Guest, other occupants, their guests, and their pets, as further set out below in Paragraph D of this Section 11. B. If the Property contains a pool, the following rules also apply: - The pool may be used after dark with quiet hours in mind (no loud noises after 10pm). Guests are welcome to enjoy the pool all night but must pay attention to the noise! - Adult supervision is required for anyone under the age of 14 - All drinks must be served in unbreakable containers - No excessive noise is permitted at any hour - Users must shower and clean their feet prior to using the pool. C. NO LIFEGUARD WILL BE ON DUTY AT THE POOL. GUEST, OTHER OCCUPANTS AND GUESTS OF GUEST SWIM AT THEIR OWN RISK D. Guest agrees to release, indemnify, hold harmless and forever discharge Cohost, the Property owner and their employees, agents, successors and assigns from any and all losses, costs, expenses, claims, liabilities and causes of action of any kind that Guest, members of Guest's household or Guest's guests or invitees may have at any time resulting from or relating to such persons’ use of a pool on the Property. E. If there is a cowboy tub on the Property, Guest has complete discretion whether to fill the tub; however, upon filling the tub, Guest assumes all risk of injuries or harm resulting from use of the tub.

If for some reason you decide to rearrange any of the furniture, you are responsible for returning it to where it was located when you arrived. Our cleaners are unable to move heavy furniture. If you do move furniture, please lift rather than drag heavy items so as not to damage the floors. Guest agrees to release, indemnify, hold harmless and forever discharge Cohost, the Property owner and their employees, agents, successors and assigns from any and all damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including the value of missing items, resulting from Guest’s failure to follow the rules stated in this Agreement or as a result of the causes stated below in this paragraph.

If the cost of damages, losses, or missing items resulting from Guest’s failure to follow the rules or as a result of the causes stated in this paragraph should exceed the amount of the deposit, Cohost will bill Guest’s credit card for the difference and/or pursue legal action.
