Miscellaneous. The Reservation, together with these Terms and any House Rules (if applicable), is the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and us regarding your use of the Property, and supersedes any previous marketing information, representations or agreements of any kind or nature between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and whether recorded in writing, or otherwise. You may not assign or transfer the Reservation or your rights under the Reservation, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent, which may be withheld in our sole discretion. We may assign or transfer the Reservation, in whole or in part, at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision of these Terms or the House Rules (if applicable) will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. The waiver by us of any provision of these Terms will not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of these Terms, nor will any custom or practice which may develop between the parties be construed to waive or to lessen our right to insist upon your performance of all the provisions of these Terms, or support a claim of detrimental reliance by you. The specification in these Terms of certain acts or omissions as a basis for removing you from the Property shall not be construed as limiting our rights to remove you for any other reason allowed by applicable law. Our acceptance of a partial payment of any fees or other Charges, or the application of any Security Deposit, will not constitute a waiver of our right to the full amount due, nor will our acceptance of fees or Charges paid late ever constitute a waiver of our right to terminate the Reservation and remove you from the Property. Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. Nothing in these Terms will affect your statutory rights as a consumer and our statutory rights as an innkeeper. Throughout these Terms the use of the word “including” means “including but not limited to”. If any part of these Terms or the House Rules (if applicable) is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
