1. Using this website
These terms apply when you browse or use the Fox Destinations website. By using it, you agree to use it lawfully and not interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, or submit information you are not entitled to provide. Property descriptions, photographs, availability, and displayed prices are provided to help you consider a stay; details can change and should be confirmed before you make travel plans.
Website content is provided for general information and does not itself create a tenancy, reservation, or promise that a property or service is available.
2. Inquiries are not bookings
A request sent through the website—including a message sent through WhatsApp—is an inquiry only. It does not hold dates, reserve a property, create an accepted booking, or guarantee a quoted total. Availability and quoted totals are subject to review and confirmation.
A stay becomes a confirmed booking only after Fox Destinations provides written confirmation and the guest completes the required payment and accepts the conditions provided for that booking. Until then, dates may remain available to others and details may change. Do not treat an inquiry response or an automatically saved draft as a reservation.
Before completing a booking, review the specific listing and the booking documents or written terms supplied for it. Those booking-specific terms govern that reservation where they differ from this general page, except they cannot override privacy rights or other rights that cannot lawfully be waived.
3. Rates, payments, and optional arrangements
Rates and the total due can depend on the property, dates, guest count, taxes, selected options, and other booking details. The applicable listing and written booking offer describe the currency, taxes, deposits, balance timing, payment method, and any other charges. Review those details before accepting; no deposit percentage, payment schedule, or optional-service fee is established by this general page.
Pool heating, pets, chef or concierge services, transfers, activities, and other arrangements may be subject to property-specific availability, approval, separate quotes, and written booking terms. Asking about an option does not add it to a booking or confirm its price.
Payments are handled through the payment process described in your booking communications. Use only the payment instructions provided for your confirmed booking and contact us if anything appears inconsistent.
4. Changes and cancellations
The cancellation policy for a stay is the policy shown for that listing and accepted in the booking-specific agreement or confirmation. Review it before paying; cancellation deadlines and any refund or credit depend on those terms and applicable law. This general page does not set a universal refund amount.
For a stay in Belize, the current cancellation rule requires notice at least 30 days before arrival. The applicable listing and accepted booking terms provide the details and effect of cancellation. For other properties, follow that property's own cancellation policy and the terms accepted for the booking.
If you need to change or cancel plans, contact the host promptly using your booking communications. A request is not effective until handled as required by the booking terms. Nothing here guarantees an exception or removes rights provided by applicable law.
5. Guest and property responsibilities
Guests must follow the occupancy limits, house rules, check-in instructions, and safety information provided for their particular property. Keep the property secure, respect neighbors and quiet hours, and use amenities only as instructed. Rules about pets, smoking, events, and other restrictions can vary by listing; confirm the rules that apply before booking.
Guests are responsible for the conduct of their party and visitors, and for reporting problems promptly. Use extra care around pools, boats, water, and other amenities. Children must be actively supervised by a responsible adult, particularly around pools, docks, boats, and other hazards. Boat trips and water activities may depend on the captain's instructions, weather, and safety conditions; the captain or operator may alter or cancel an outing for safety.
A guest may be responsible for damage caused by the guest or party beyond ordinary wear and tear, subject to the booking agreement and applicable law. Any charge must be authorized by the applicable agreement or law, and should be supported by an explanation of the amount and basis.
6. Property details, errors, and disruptions
We make reasonable efforts to keep public information useful, but a page may contain an outdated detail, typographical error, or inaccurate availability or price. Please tell us if something appears wrong. We may correct information and will confirm material details with you before a booking is completed; an apparent error on a page does not by itself create a confirmed booking.
Travel, weather, utilities, transportation, and property operations can be affected by events outside anyone's reasonable control. If a disruption affects a confirmed stay, contact us as soon as possible. We will address the situation under the applicable booking terms and law. No blanket exclusion or automatic denial of a refund is created by this section.
7. Responsibility and governing law
To the extent permitted by law, Fox Destinations and its representatives are not responsible for indirect or consequential loss arising from general website use. This does not exclude or limit responsibility for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or any liability that applicable law does not allow to be excluded or limited. Nothing in these terms takes away non-waivable consumer rights.
California law governs these general website terms, subject to mandatory rules that apply where a property is located and to consumer protections that cannot lawfully be waived. Property-specific booking terms may address disputes for a particular stay, subject to applicable law.
This terms page is separate from our Privacy Policy. Booking-specific conditions may govern stay arrangements, but cannot override privacy rights or rights that applicable law makes non-waivable.
8. Contact and revisions
Questions about a property or these terms? Contact David Fox before relying on a detail or making travel arrangements. We may update this page as website practices or applicable requirements change; the revision date above indicates when it was last updated.
This page is general information, not legal advice. Qualified legal review is prudent, particularly for booking terms used across different property locations.
