Warranties and Representations
 In a rental home with as many amenities as Casa
          de Luz offers, such as a clothes washer, refrigerator,
        gas stove,* wireless Internet, swimming pool, air conditioning,
        etc., it can happen that any one of these appliances or devices
        can experience an accidental breakdown. In such a circumstance,
        we will do what is reasonably possible, given the circumstances,
        to repair the defect, after we hear about it. However, the
        immediate availability of qualified service personnel cannot be
        guaranteed, and it may happen that the problem cannot reasonably
        be fixed during the duration of your rental period.
      
Please understand that Casa de Luz is
        located in a modest town in an -- albeit rapidly improving and
        modernizing -- developing country.  Some of the basic
        amenities we Americans and Europeans are very much used to, such
        as hardware stores that carry almost anything one could possibly
        need, or trained mechanics, electricians, plumbers or
        electronics experts may be very hard and unreliably and untimely
        to come by.  While we will make every effort to keep Casa
          de Luz fully functioning, and to take care of problems as
        they arise, we cannot guarantee this to the degree of
        satisfaction Americans and Western Europeans are used to. 
        Please understand. 
      
 Furthermore, we have, in our communication
        leading to your rental of Casa de Luz, represented all
        amenities fairly and accurately and will not offer compensation
        or refund of rents paid in any form or amount, if certain
        amenities are not available or not to your liking or
        expectations.
