Salt & Shine strongly recommends purchasing travel insurance to protect against unforeseen circumstances that may affect your ability to travel.
The cancellation policy remains in effect regardless of the reason for cancellation or the length of the reservation, except where otherwise required by applicable law.
Purchasing or declining travel insurance does not alter the cancellation terms associated with your reservation.

15. REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE & PROPERTY CONDITION
If an issue arises during your stay, contact Salt & Shine immediately.
Do not wait until checkout or after departure to report a maintenance issue, damage, malfunction, safety concern, or Property-condition concern.
Prompt reporting allows Salt & Shine to investigate the issue, coordinate service, communicate with the Property owner when necessary, reduce the possibility of further damage, and make reasonable efforts to resolve the issue during your stay.
Failure to promptly report an issue may limit Salt & Shine’s ability to investigate or address the concern.
16. LIABILITY & PERSONAL PROPERTY
Salt & Shine and the Property owner are not responsible for accidents, injury, theft, loss, or damage occurring at the Property except to the extent liability cannot be waived under applicable law.
You agree to use the Property responsibly and exercise reasonable care during your stay.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to hold harmless the parties involved in the rental from claims arising from your use or occupancy of the Property.
Nothing in this Agreement waives any right or liability that cannot lawfully be waived.
17. ITEMS LEFT BEHIND
Guests are responsible for checking the Property thoroughly before departure.
If a lost item is located, Salt & Shine may arrange for its return through UPS or another shipping provider after you have paid the applicable shipping and handling costs.
Salt & Shine is not responsible for items left behind or items that cannot be located after departure, except as required by applicable law.
18. RIGHT TO REFUSE RENTAL OR TERMINATE OCCUPANCY
Salt & Shine reserves the right to refuse rental or discontinue occupancy if Guest conduct is deemed detrimental to the Property, neighborhood, Property owner, Salt & Shine, or the safety and peaceful enjoyment of others.
Material violations of this Agreement or applicable Property-specific rules may result in termination of occupancy without refund where permitted by law.

You agree to comply with:
Property-specific rules disclosed before booking;
applicable condominium or HOA rules;
municipal ordinances;
posted Property instructions; and
reasonable written instructions provided by Salt & Shine relating to the use and care of the Property.
If a Property-specific rule disclosed before booking is more restrictive than a general policy contained in this Agreement, the Property-specific rule will control for that Property.
Operational instructions provided after booking may clarify the use and care of the Property but do not, by themselves, change the agreed price, cancellation terms, payment terms, or other material reservation terms without your agreement, except where required by applicable law.
All Property questions, maintenance concerns, damage reports, and reservation-related communications should be directed to Salt & Shine.
