These terms supersede any and all previous oral or written promises and/or agreements.

The renter shall pay any legal and/or attorney fees incurred by My Beach Concierge to obtain monies owed by the Renter.
12. MANDATORY EVACUATION
In the event of a mandatory evacuation, My Beach Concierge will prioritize your safety by arranging the timely retrieval of our golf carts. Customers will be provided with a credit for the unused rental days, valid for their next visit to the island.
This credit will be applied to future bookings within two years from the original rental date. We kindly ask that you contact us as soon as possible to arrange the return of the golf cart to ensure everyone's safety.
If you must cancel your trip before arrival due to a mandatory evacuation, you will receive a full credit for your rental, valid for use within two years from the original rental date. Please note that these policies apply ONLY to mandatory evacuations issued by state and/or local authorities.
13. TELEMATICS AND GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) TRACKING
For safety, security, fleet management and/or any other operation purpose, you consent to My Beach Concierge equipping the golf cart with a telematic device and/or GPS tracking device. This data may include the golf cart’s exact location, speed, usage pattern, or other operational detail(s). Information gained by the attached device(s) may be used by My Beach Concierge to recover a lost or stolen golf cart, monitor compliance with this agreement, and/or other operational reasons as determined by My Beach Concierge.
14. ORDER OF PRECEDENCE
You will be required to execute a Rental Agreement prior to taking possession of the golf cart. In the event of any conflict, ambiguity, or inconsistency between these Terms of Service and the Rental Agreement, the provision that imposes the greater restriction, obligation, or liability on the Renter OR that provide My Beach Concierge with greater protection shall control and supersede the conflicting provision. If it cannot be reasonably determined which provision is more restrictive or protective, the Rental Agreement shall control, as it is executed most recently in time and directly related to your specific rental.
15. WAIVER INDEMNITY
A waiver by us of any breach of this Agreement is not a waiver of any additional breach or waiver of the performance of your obligations under this Agreement. Our acceptance of payment from you or our failure, refusal, or neglect to exercise any of our rights under this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement. You agree that this Agreement and any dispute arising therefrom, as well as any dispute arising from your operation or use of the Golf Cart, shall be determined under the laws of the State of Florida. Unless prohibited by law, you release us from any liability for consequential, special, or punitive damages in connection with this rental or the reservation of a golf cart. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions are valid and enforceable.
16. FLORIDA STATUTES
Florida Statutes 812.155 Paragraph 3
FAILURE TO REDELIVER HIRED OR LEASED PERSONAL PROPERTY
“Whoever, after hiring or leasing any personal property or equipment under an agreement to redeliver the same to the person letting such personal property or equipment or his or her agent at the termination of the period for which it was let, shall, without the consent of such person or persons knowingly abandon or refuse to redeliver the personal property or equipment as agreed, shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in § 775.082 or § 775.083, unless the value of the personal property or equipment is of a value of $300 or more; in that event the violation constitutes a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in § 775.082, § 775.083, or § 775.084.”
The above statute refers to a not so common term called theft of services. Please return the Golf Cart by the dates and time indicated in your reservation confirmation or call to extend your reservation for additional days, if there is availability. Availability is not guaranteed.
