RENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The booking
terms and conditions form the sole contract between C & M Worldwide Holdings Inc. (DBA Mid-Florida
Home Management) and the person signing the Booking Form, who must be over
21 years of
age and who shall be deemed to sign this form on behalf of all the persons listed on the booking form. No
contract shall exist until we have received a signed booking form together with the correct deposit/full payment,
and we have confirmed the reservation in writing.
Once the signed booking form and payment have been received, the booking will become finalized. At this
point, the Guest is hereby granted a license to use the premises during the agreed-upon reservation dates
and times. The Guest acknowledges and agrees that no form of tenancy has been created pursuant to Chapter 83,
Florida Statutes through the Guest’s use of the premises. The Guest acknowledges that no
permission has been granted to change the locks, and they may not be broken, altered, or added, and keys
may not be duplicated. Most vacation rentals have storage for homeowner use. These areas are secured
by a lock which must not be tampered with and are strictly off-limits to Guests. The Guest agrees to abide
by all HOA association rules, including, but not limited to, all community signs.
Property amenities (including, but not limited to, furnishings, appliances, electronics, baby equipment,
games, and barbecue grills)
are used at the Guest’s own risk. Barbecue
grills should only be used in well- ventilated outdoor areas. Neither
the homeowner nor C & M Worldwide Holdings Inc. shall be held liable for malfunctioning or inoperable
amenities, or for damage caused by misuse of amenities. Guests under 18 years of age must be supervised at all
times.
If, during the rental period, any law or ordinance is violated, any drug use
occurs in or near the property,
or the property is used for any immoral purpose, occupancy will be immediately terminated without refund.
Failure to comply with any of the terms herein will, at the sole discretion of C & M Worldwide Holdings Inc.,
result in the immediate termination of occupancy without refund.
An
initial reservation for the chosen home will be held for up to 3 days. When you have
read and agreed with the 'Rental Terms and Conditions,' completed and returned the signed
booking form, and paid the
deposit (or full balance if the arrival date is 4 weeks or less), then the booking will become finalized. If the
completed booking form and deposit/full payment are not received in time, then your reservation will be cancelled.
A down payment of $200.00 is required to secure the booking. This is non-refundable and will be applied
toward the total rental cost.
The balance of payment is to be paid no later than
4 weeks prior to your arrival date. We reserve the right
to cancel the booking if payment is not received by the due
date. In this event, the cancellation charges will apply.

PROPERTY PROTECTION PLAN & DAMAGED / BROKEN ITEMS
A Property Protection Plan must be purchased with the rental of each home and this fee is non-refundable.
This plan is to cover any costs incurred for accidental damages and/or breakages, loss to the
property and/or any of its contents provided they are reported to the Management Company prior to departure.
Guests are requested to notify us immediately if any items in the home are damaged or broken during their
stay. Notification must be made either through the booking agent where the reservation was placed, or
by contacting us via phone at 863-248-5082 or email at reservations@midfloridavacationhomes.com within 24
hours of the damage/breakage occurring.
Guests must also leave the damaged/broken item(s) in a conspicuous location within the home so it can
be easily found as this will allow us to file an insurance claim for its replacement or repair. Failure to report
the damage or to leave the item(s) in the home will result in the Guest being charged the full replacement
or repair cost of the item(s).
This plan
does not cover negligence, nor does it cover any intentional/malicious damage to either the interior or exterior of
the property and any of its contents. It also does not cover theft and/or missing
items, as well as failure to report damages. We may charge your credit card as appropriate for any of the
aforementioned instances, as well as for the cost to replace and/or repair any item(s) not covered by the Property
Protection Plan.
Payment is accepted in US Dollars via supplied payment link and associated credit/debit card payment. At
our discretion, we may allow payment by personal check, cashier’s check, money order, PayPal or Zelle.
The
rental period begins at 4:00 PM Eastern Time on the day of arrival. Once full
payment for the
rental is received, you will be sent the access details for the home. It is not always possible to allow Early
Check-In due to cleaning and preparation of the home. Please check with one of our Reservationists by
contacting them at 863-248-5082 regarding the availability of an Early Check-In.
The
rental period ceases promptly at
10:00 AM Eastern Time on the day of departure. A later
check-
out time can be provided at our discretion, should there be no guests arriving on the day of your departure.
There is a Late Check-Out Fee, and it will be dependent on the time requested for Late Check-Out. This must be
paid online via a supplied payment link at least two days prior to the date of check-out. Please request this
by email, giving as much notice as possible. Unauthorized early check-ins or late check-outs will be charged at
$55.00 per hour or part thereof.
Early
Check-In and Late Check-Out charges apply and are dependent on how early or late of a time requested. Please
note that Early Check-In and Late Check-Out can only be guaranteed by booking the night prior to arrival or the
evening of departure, respectively.
Guests are recommended to purchase adequate travel insurance to cover eventualities, such as
cancellation, accident, and sickness.
The
accommodation may only be sublet, shared, or assigned by you with our express agreement in writing. Otherwise,
only the persons detailed on the booking form are permitted to stay in the property.
The maximum occupancy is quoted on the website for each property and is determined by the authorities
within strict guidelines for fire safety. Please note that contravention of the maximum occupancy will render
your booking void and all monies will be forfeited.

not making any noise that can be heard by other guests and neighbors between the hours of 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM

incurred, or responsibility for, any such person.

Neither the homeowner nor C & M Worldwide Holdings Inc. can be held responsible for any ongoing

It is the

-
DISSATISFACTION OR COMPLAINTS
In
the unlikely event of a complaint during your stay, please contact us as soon as possible and we will
work with you to resolve the issue. We cannot rectify matters unless we know about them. We will do our
best to assist and remedy the situation as soon as it is practicably possible. Should you feel the matter was
not satisfactorily resolved, you must notify us in writing within 3 days of your departure as no action
can be taken, or liability accepted, for any complaint received after this period. The Management Company
reserves the right of entry at any time.
All
descriptions given on the website are made in good faith, but no liability can be accepted for any
errors or omissions. Changes may be made to the property without notification to the Guest or being
stated on the website.
An
Information Book is provided in the home for Guests. This Information Book must not be removed or
taken from the home. If so, there will be a charge of $75.00 to replace the Information Book.
Management reserves the right to enter the home (whether Guest is present or not) at any time, when necessary, in
order to carry out emergency maintenance or damage prevention work. In addition, Guest agrees to allow entry by
our regular licensed and insured pest control company, at a reasonable hour, in order to implement our
regular planned pest control program. Where a Guest requests non-emergency
maintenance, it shall be assumed that permission is granted by the Guest to allow access to carry out said
work by C & M Worldwide Holdings Inc. representatives, whether Guest is present or not. Every effort will
be made to inform Guests of such activities, and to make suitable arrangements.
In
the event that pool heating is requested and paid for, neither the homeowner nor C & M Worldwide Holdings Inc.
can guarantee a specific water temperature for the swimming pool and/or spa due to a number of factors including,
but not limited to, variable prevailing environmental/weather conditions, as
well as electrical and mechanical components that can sometimes malfunction, all of which are beyond our
control.
A significant amount of time is needed to completely heat
the pool up to the required temperature range. If you choose to purchase pool
heat, we will turn the pool heater on 24 to 48 hours prior to the day of
arrival. If you reach out to us with less than this amount of time prior to your arrival, we cannot guarantee
that the swimming pool will be heated at the beginning of your stay. Please note that weather conditions
can dramatically affect pool water temperature and colder outside
temperatures will cause longer heating times than during warmer days.
Pool heaters only operate while the pool pump is running. Typically, our pool equipment runs from 9:00
AM until 8:00 PM Eastern Time. This means that the water is only heated during these times. The exception
to this is the spa. When you use the spa timer to turn the spa on after hours, it will bypass the runtime.
Once the spa timer turns off, the equipment will go back to the timer mode and not turn back on until 9:00
AM Eastern Time the next day.
The pool heat temperature is set between 85°F and 87°F, but specific temperatures cannot be guaranteed
as environmental factors, as well as equipment factors, will regulate the exact temperature and are completely
beyond our control.
The spa heat temperature is set between 98°F and 100°F, but specific temperatures cannot be guaranteed
as environmental factors, as well as equipment factors, will regulate the exact temperature and are completely
beyond our control.
Guests will have no control over the setting of the temperature of the pool heater. We can lower the
temperature if requested, but it will require a trip by one of our maintenance personnel to perform this
task. It is against the law to raise the temperature any warmer than the setpoints. Guests are not permitted
to make any changes to pool equipment including the pool heaters. If a Guest is found to be tampering with the
equipment, there will be a fee of $250.00 to return the equipment to the original state plus the cost of any
additional repairs.
Inground spas attached
to inground pools will maintain the pool temperature until
the spa timer is turned to activate the equipment in spa mode. Once the equipment is turned
to spa mode, the system will automatically adjust the valves causing them
to turn and isolate the spa so that the water from the spa is
returned to the spa. This system bypasses the pool, and so the spa will be heated up to a higher
temperature. If left in spa mode, the pool will not receive any heated water, thus leaving it to cool.
It will take approximately 30 to 45 minutes for the spa to heat up to the spa setpoint. Most of our spas are
run by a timer dial located on the rear wall of the
home and have a timing range of up to 60 minutes. To
activate, turn the dial clockwise for the length of time
you want it to run up to a maximum of 60 minutes.
Once the time has run out, the equipment will switch back to pool mode and the spa will start to cool back
to the water temperature of the pool. If you would like to use the spa for longer than 60 minutes, you will
need to turn the dial again to reset the time.
Most of our pools are heated by a heat pump pool heater. These heaters are very efficient. However, they
will not operate when the ambient temperature is below 55°F. Even if the pool heater does work at 55°F,
it will only heat up to a maximum of 15°F over the air temperature at any time. As a result, it will only
heat up to 70°F, which is still about 15°F lower than the optimal temperature of approximately 85°F.
When temperatures are below 65°F, we cannot guarantee the pool will heat up to the setpoint. If a Guest
pays for pool heat, it will be turned on and can run even during these
colder periods. If the equipment is running and using electricity and if there are no mechanical issues
with the pool heater, we will not issue
any refunds because the pool is not heating up to the setpoint due to weather conditions which are beyond
our control.
Please be aware that pool/spa heaters have electrical and mechanical components that can sometimes malfunction and
are completely beyond our control. We will correct any malfunctions as soon as we are apprised of
them. However, as we use a third-party company for repairs, we cannot guarantee a time frame of when repairs
will be completed.
Pool blankets/covers may be supplied by some homeowners for use, but some prefer not to offer this item
for safety reasons. As a result, a pool blanket/cover is not guaranteed.
If provided, a Pool Safety Fence must always be kept erect/upright at all times and remain as such for the
safety of children. Removal of this
fence, leaving it open, or disabling a Pool Safety Alarm (if equipped) is
an illegal act and punishable by fine and/or imprisonment according to FSS 515.33 of the Residential
Swimming Pool Safety Act which states that “anyone tampering with or disconnecting pool alarms commits
a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable by a $5,000.00 fine or one year in jail.” C & M Worldwide
Holdings Inc. will assess a minimum charge of $100.00 per alarm if found disconnected, as well as any
additional cost for repairing
or replacing the alarm(s). Do not allow unsupervised children to
use the pool or spa. Unfortunately, child deaths occur due to guests not following these simple
rules. Neither the homeowner nor C & M Worldwide Holdings Inc. shall be liable for injury or death
resulting from failing to follow these instructions.
All our pools are cleaned and chemically balanced weekly for your safety and comfort. However, on rare
occasions, it may be necessary to apply extra chemicals to the
pool to maintain safe and correct chemical levels. This is a normal occurrence and is not due to
any lack of work on our part. If this should occur
during your stay, it will be necessary for you to be out of the pool for a period of a few hours as determined
by the technician for safety reasons and no compensation will be given. Any items such as clothes, toys, or
other personal items must not be left in the pool or spa. Please be aware that you may see the pool
technician(s) once a week during your stay or more if additional services are required.
Community pools are heated when the temperature dictates the need. Neither the homeowner nor C & M
Worldwide Holdings Inc. have control over the temperature settings of the community pool(s) made available for Guest
use.
Please note if you are planning to mail a package to your vacation home, many resorts either do not receive
delivery of mail from the United States Postal Service (USPS) or have community mailboxes which are not
accessible.
We
recommend using either FedEx or United Parcel Service (UPS) to have packages delivered directly to your vacation
home.
However, FedEx, United Parcel Service (UPS), Amazon, DHL and other courier services sometimes use the
United States Postal Service (USPS) as the final delivery carrier. As a result, the package may not be
delivered to your vacation home as the resort does not receive delivery of mail from the United States Postal
Service (USPS) or the package may be delivered to a community mailbox which is not accessible.
The only
way we can guarantee you will receive your packages is to have the items shipped to our office
provided we receive them no later than 10:00 AM Eastern Time one day
prior to your departure date. All items being delivered by the United States Postal Service (USPS)
should be shipped to our office.

STREET ADDRESS OF REGAL PALMS RESORT & SPA VACATION HOME
DAVENPORT, FL 33897
Failure to include both Address Line 1 and Address Line 2 on the
shipping label will result in the package being returned to the sender.
At the time of this writing, REGAL PALMS RESORT & SPA does allow
delivery of packages by the United States Postal Service (USPS). Neither the homeowner nor C & M
Worldwide Holdings Inc. shall be held responsible for any changes to services rendered by the United States
Postal Service (USPS) and/or any other delivery carrier.
If the store where the purchase is placed and/or the shipping carrier
does not allow two fields
for the address (e.g., Address Line 1 and Address Line 2), please have the package shipped to
our office as follows:
NAME OF LEAD GUEST (RESERVATION ID NUMBER) C/O
MID-FLORIDA HOME MANAGEMENT
2629 WAVERLY BARN ROAD, SUITE
131

Please be advised that if your deliveries arrive at our office on the day of your departure or any date
thereafter, the fee is $35.00 per package plus an additional fee to forward the package to
your requested address. The amount of this additional fee will be determined based on the cost we are
assessed by the shipping service used to mail the package to your requested address.
Any
packages you wish to have returned to the sender will be charged a fee of $35.00 per package plus any additional
costs which may be applicable. All return shipping labels should be emailed to us at reservations@midfloridavacationhomes.com and the email

Please note we are not responsible for delays caused by either the carrier and/or shipper, as well as failure
to include vital information such as our Company Name and Mailing Address, as well as the Lead Guest Name and/or
Reservation ID Number on the carrier/shipper’s address label and/or outside packing slip.
We are
also not responsible for how the package is delivered (e.g., the package was placed in the
community mailbox instead of being dropped off at the vacation home), any mislabeled and/or misdelivered
packages, as well as any packages left at the resort clubhouse or other receiving facility in the community.

The majority of our properties are located within a vacation rental community or subdivision. These
communities are governed
by a Homeowners Association (HOA) which have established rules, regulations

their first and last name for any person aged 16 and older. Guest is obligated to provide this information
prior to their arrival date if the property booked is in a community which requires this list.

neither the homeowner nor C & M Worldwide Holdings Inc. will be held responsible for

the safety and security of our guests, our homes are equipped with security cameras and/or a Ring doorbell, which
are placed on the exterior of the property.
There are no cameras inside the home or in any private areas. These devices are strictly used to
monitor exterior entrances, as well as help safeguard the property and our guests. Rest assured, your privacy
is our top priority.

rentals, C & M Worldwide Holdings Inc. will make every effort to find similar accommodations. If we cannot
find a comparable accommodation, the Guest will have the option of selecting from available properties at
the published rate or receiving a complete refund of monies paid for the Vacation Rental Home

Central Florida is home to a diverse population of animals. Guests should avoid approaching, feeding, or
harassing wildlife of any kind. Alligators and snakes are not just found in the wild, but also in and near
lakes, ponds, and marshes in residential neighborhoods and around golf courses. There is always the
possibility of this wildlife
near fresh or brackish water. Guests must not wade, swim, or fish in community
ponds or lakes, or in undesignated areas.
