Hot Tub Addendum This Rental Agreement Addendum is incorporated into and made part of the Rental Agreement executed by the owner and the Guest, referring to and incorporating the rented home. There are health risks associated with the use of hot tubs. Guest agrees to use the hot tub at their own risk. The Owner(s) will not be responsible for any injuries sustained by the Guest or the members of the Guest's party when using the hot tub. Guest who signs this agreement will be responsible to advise all other members of their party of all potential hot tub hazards and rules. Before unlocking or using the hot tub, Guest(s) must completely review and understand the hot tub operating procedures found in the Rental Instructions as well as the safety items listed on this page. The Guest is responsible for operating the hot tub in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Shower before and after using the hot tub. This is because some lotions or makeup mixed with the hot tub chemicals can cause a rash. Showering after hot tub use will lessen the likelihood of rashes related to exposure to the hot tub chemicals. Never wear jewelry into a hot tub due to the chemicals used. Hot tub chemicals can also affect color-treated hair or damage swimsuits. If you have any medical condition (such as but not limited to, heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, diabetes, obesity) or are taking any type of drugs please consult your physician before using the hot tub. Persons who have skin sensitivities or open wounds should not use the hot tub. If you have consumed or are consuming alcoholic beverages or drugs or have a medical condition that in conjunction with hot tub use may result in drowsiness, do not use the hot tub due to the possibility of losing consciousness with the possibility of drowning. Guest agrees not to use and not allow members of Guest's party to use any type of soaps, shampoo, lotions, bubbles, glitter, or bath oils in the hot tub, as damage to the hot tub and/or skin irritation may occur. If evidence of use of shampoo, bubbles, lotions, bath oils, or other substances is found in the hot tub, your entire Rental (damage) Deposit will be forfeited.

The Guest is responsible for keeping the hot tub clear of debris and keeping the area around the hot tub clear of obstructions, neat and organized. Guest is responsible for the full cost that may be due for repair and/or replacement of the hot tub that is required as a result of negligence or misuse by the Guest, or the members of the Guest's party, above and beyond the amount of the Rental (damage) Deposit. Minors must be supervised by a capable adult age 23 or over at all times while in and around the hot tub. Inspect the hot tub water before use. If too hot, cloudy, dirty, gritty, smells unusual, or you have any concerns about the water quality, DO NOT USE THE HOT TUB and call the owners or maintenance for service. The cover must be placed back on the hot tub when not in use or not supervised. This keeps the water warm, prevents debris from entering the water, and keeps minors or unauthorized persons from entering the hot tub. Do not use the hot tub if any of the suction fittings have been removed. DO NOT CLIMB, LEAN, SIT OR STAND ON THE HOT TUB COVER. A damaged/broken hot tub cover will result in $100 charge to the Guest. Guest understands that the hot tub is strictly an amenity, and the use of the amenity is not guaranteed under the terms of the rental Agreement. Any interruption or non-availability of the hot tub will not violate the terms of the Rental Agreement. If the hot tub is used frequently during your stay, be aware that the build-up of bacteria, body oils, and other foreign matter may overwhelm the hot tub's ability to neutralize the bacteria and properly sanitize and filter the water. If you have concerns related to heavy usage, please text us and we will arrange for servicing (treatment and filter replacement) during your stay if possible. If you notice any water quality issues, such as cloudy, dirty, gritty, or smelly water, DO NOT USE THE HOT TUB and call the owners or maintenance for service.
