Guest authorizes ZenAway to charge Guest's credit card in the event of the above listed exclusions. Guest will be notified of any damage/costs in writing. Any material damage to the Property will be charged immediately to the Guest's credit card. Guest assumes full responsibility for any items damaged due to misuse or negligence or action on Guest's part and for any items found to be missing. Violation of any condition of the terms of the ZenAway Rental Agreement voids the protection provided under the Guest Services Fee. If there is any damage to the Rental Property or its furnishings, the Guest agrees to be responsible for the cost to repair any damages (not covered by Accidental Damage Protection) done by either Guest, Guest invitees, or a Guest pet. All Rental Properties are inspected after check-out by a property inspector and reported to ZenAway for appropriate billing. {reservations_unit.additional_streamsign_term}
