Please review any insurance policy that you may have for your Vacancy carefully, and in particular please make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of Visitors (and the individuals the Visitor invites to the Vacancy, if applicable) while at your Vacancy.
