that there may be occasions when an advertised facility
is either modified or not available. Such situations may
be dictated by local circumstances, necessity for
maintenance (e.g. swimming pools), unsuitable weather
conditions and other circumstances beyond our control. If
we are advised of this, we will strive to inform you in
advance, but cannot be held liable in such circumstances
and will do our best to make alternative arrangements for
you where possible. The owners and/or the management
company do not accept any responsibility or liability for
any failure of services in the home regardless of how it
may have occurred. It is the responsibility of the renter
to inform the management company immediately of any
problem or shortfall so that it can be corrected, and the
management company will use reasonable effort to rectify
the problem.
