Clients may use the swimming pool at their own risk and children must be supervised at all times.  They should always observe the safety rules listed in the Information and Safety Book held in the home.  If air temperature falls below 50 to 55 degrees, the electric heater will not operate.  This is an ‘Act of Nature’ and the rental homeowners (and their Agents) are unable to take responsibility if the pool heat is not to your satisfaction.  Therefore, no refund will be given.

CANCELLATION FEES AND ANY OTHER LOSSES WHICH MAY OCCUR.
