  1. Transient Stay. It is expressly understood and agreed that Guest’s reservation or stay is not a lease or other long-term residential tenancy agreement, and that the Resort is not intended to be utilized as a primary residence. These Terms and Conditions and the reservation do not create property rights in you and no rights to renewal or for recurring usage. If you hold over after the expiration of your reservation dates, your extended stay, if authorized, will be from day-to-day only and will not constitute a renewal or an extension for any further term. In such case, you will be liable for paying for the additional day(s) at a rate equal to two (2) times the nightly rate set for the property on the dates of your holdover, plus the actual costs of re-accommodating future Guests that were scheduled to use the site during such dates. You may not sublet the site or any part of it and shall not assign any interest (in whole or in part) to your reservation or these Terms and Conditions or any rights hereunder. No Guest shall be permitted to stay or make a reservation for longer than six (6) months at the Resort.

Guests hereby agree and represent that Guest(s) are transient occupant(s) and it is the intention of the parties that the occupancy will be temporary in accordance with the meaning under Florida Law. Furthermore, Guest agrees and represents as follows:

  1. Guest does not have an ownership interest, financial interest, or leasehold interest in the Resort entitling him or her to occupancy of the property or the site. These Terms and Conditions and the reservation do not convey any leasehold interest.
  2. Guest shall not create or cause to be created any documentation, correspondence, or identification cards sent or issued by a government agency, including, but not limited to, the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles or the supervisor of elections, using the Resort address as an address of record at any time.
  3. At all times during the term, each and every Guest maintains a permanent residence elsewhere.

Guest agrees and acknowledges that upon a breach of these Terms and Conditions, or the rules and regulations of Creekside governing the Resort, Guest may be required to vacate the Resort upon oral or written notice as followed: “You are hereby notified that this recreational vehicle park no longer desires to entertain you as its Guest, and you are requested to leave at once. To remain after receipt of this notice is a misdemeanor under the laws of this state.”

If such Guest has paid in advance, the park shall, at the time such notice is given, tender to the Guest the unused portion of the advance payment. Any Guest who remains or attempts to remain in such park after being requested to leave commits a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

If a Guest has accumulated an outstanding account in excess of an amount equivalent to the cost of 3 nights’ reservation at a recreational vehicle park, Creekside may disconnect all utilities of the recreational vehicle and notify the Guest that the action is for the purpose of requiring the Guest to confront Creekside or permittee and arrange for the payment of the Guest’s account. Such arrangement must be in writing, and a copy shall be furnished to the Guest. Upon entering into such agreement, Creekside shall reconnect the utilities of the recreational vehicle.

If any person is illegally on the premises of any recreational vehicle park, Creekside of such park may call upon any law enforcement officer of this state for assistance. It is the duty of such law enforcement officer, upon the request of such operator, to remove from the premises or place under arrest any Guest who, according to the park operator, violated the requirements of this Section or Fla. Stat. § 513.13.

If a warrant has been issued by the proper judicial officer for the arrest of any Guest who violates Fla. Stat. § 513.13, the officer shall serve the warrant, arrest the Guest, and take the Guest into custody. Upon removal or arrest, with or without warrant, the Guest is deemed to have abandoned or given up any right to occupancy of the premises of the recreational vehicle park; and Creekside of the park shall employ all reasonable and proper means to care for any personal property left on the premises by such Guest and shall refund any unused portion of moneys paid by such Guest for the occupancy of such premises. If conditions do not allow for immediate removal of the Guest’s property, he or she may arrange a reasonable time, not to exceed 48 hours, with Creekside to come remove the property, accompanied by a law enforcement officer. In addition to the grounds for ejection established by law, breach of these Terms and Conditions shall constitute grounds for ejection.

  1. Service of Notice and Address of the Parties. The Guest irrevocably appoints as his agent any person staying at the Guest’s site in the Resort, to receive service of all notices hereunder including dispossessory or distraint proceedings, and if no person is then located at the Guest’s site, then such notice may be given and services may be made by affixing a copy thereof on the recreational vehicle located on the site.  A copy of all such notices given by or on behalf of the Creekside pursuant to the provisions contained in these Terms and Conditions may also be mailed to the Guest’s last known address as given, in writing, to the Creekside. The notices required or permitted to be given pursuant to the terms of these Terms and Conditions, shall be deemed to be duly given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail, addressed to the parties at the places above named, or such other places as they may hereafter designate in writing for the delivery of such notices. Guest also agrees to accept service electronically at the email address provided to Creekside for Guest, effective upon delivery and equivalent to personal delivery. Nothing herein shall be construed to require Creekside to provide Guest notice unless otherwise required by law.

 

  1. Non-Liability and Indemnity. These Terms and Conditions are made upon the express condition that the Creekside, and any and all members, managers, owners, shareholders, employees, agents, representatives, officers, and directors of Creekside (all of the foregoing collectively, the “Creekside Parties” or each a “Creekside Party”) shall be free from all liability and claims, losses, damages, demands, suits, injuries, charges, expenses causes of action and judgments (including without limitation attorney’s fees) (“Claims”) for or by reason of any injury or death to any person or property in any kind whatsoever, from any cause or causes whatsoever, related to or arising from the Resort or the Resort property or Guest’s use of the Resort, including without limitation resulting from any act or omission of Guest or the Resort of their respective agents, representatives, employees, Guests, invitees, licensees, or of third persons on the Resort as a result of the respective party.

            Guest hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Creekside Parties from all and all such Claims. In the event the Guest does not assume and conduct the defense of Creekside Parties pursuant hereto within 10 days written notice, the Creekside Parties may (but are not obligated to) defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, any Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and need not consult with or obtain any consent from Guest). In such event, Guest shall reimburse the Creekside Party promptly upon demand for such Claim, or periodically for the costs of defending against the Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses at any trial or administrative level and on appeal).

Customer Responsibilities

Customers remain solely and fully responsible for the content of any material posted, hosted, downloaded/uploaded, created, accessed or transmitted using the IP Services. CREEKSIDE has no responsibility for any material created on the CREEKSIDE’s network or accessible using IP Services, including content provided on third-party websites linked to the CREEKSIDE network. Such third-party website links are provided as Internet navigation tools for informational purposes only, and do not constitute in any way an endorsement by CREEKSIDE of the content(s) of such sites.
Customers are responsible for taking prompt corrective action(s) to remedy a violation of AUP and to help prevent similar future violations.

AUP Enforcement and Notice

Customer’s failure to observe the guidelines set forth in this AUP may result in CREEKSIDE taking actions anywhere from a warning to a suspension or termination of Customer’s IP Services. When feasible, CREEKSIDE may provide Customer with a notice of an AUP violation via e-mail or otherwise allowing the Customer to promptly correct such violation.
CREEKSIDE reserves the right, however, to act immediately and without notice to suspend or terminate affected IP Services in response to a court order or government notice that certain conduct must be stopped, or when CREEKSIDE reasonably determines that the Customer’s use of the affected IP Services may: (1) expose CREEKSIDE to sanctions, prosecution, civil action or any other liability; (2) cause harm to or interfere with the integrity or normal operations of CREEKSIDE’s network or networks with which CREEKSIDE is interconnected; (3) interfere with another CREEKSIDE Customer’s use of IP Services or the Internet; (4) violate any applicable law, rule or regulation; or (5) otherwise present an imminent risk of harm to CREEKSIDE or CREEKSIDE Customers.

Copyright Infringement & Digital Millennium Copyright Act

CREEKSIDE respects the intellectual property rights of others. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA” found at 17 U.S.C. § 512) provides that owners of copyrighted works who believe that their rights under U.S. copyright law have been infringed may report alleged infringements to service providers like CREEKSIDE. In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, CREEKSIDE maintains a policy that provides for the termination of IP Services, under appropriate circumstances, if Customers are found to be a repeat infringer and/or if Customers’ IP Services are used repeatedly for infringement (the “Repeat Infringer Policy”). CREEKSIDE may terminate IP Services at any time with or without notice to Customers.
CREEKSIDE has no obligation to investigate possible copyright infringements with respect to materials transmitted by Customer or any other users of the IP Services. However, CREEKSIDE will process valid notifications of claimed infringement under the DMCA, and continued receipt of infringement notifications for Customer’s account will be used as a factor in determining whether Customer is a repeat infringer. In addition, CREEKSIDE may voluntarily participate, on terms acceptable to CREEKSIDE, in copyright alert and graduated response programs.

Incident Reporting

Any complaints (other than claims of copyright infringement) regarding violation of this AUP by a CREEKSIDE Customer (or its user) should be directed to office@creeksidervresort.com. Where possible, include details that would assist CREEKSIDE in investigating and resolving such complaint (e.g., expanded headers, IP address(s), a copy of the offending transmission and any log files).

Contact Information:

Any notification that CREEKSIDE sends to its Customers pursuant to this AUP will be sent via e-mail to the e-mail address on file with CREEKSIDE or may be in writing to Customer’s address of record. It is Customer’s responsibility to promptly notify CREEKSIDE of any change of contact information.
