In consideration for using an EA web site, you explicitly agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this document as may be modified from time to time.
First, let’s just be clear: sometimes mistakes happen. We try hard to have all our data correct, but sometimes the trained monkeys mess up, or didn’t have enough coffee. When that happens, we try to fix it. We try even harder when you bring it to our attention–because the only way to know if its not quite right is to be made aware of it! Sometimes things change too, sometimes right underneath us. Hurricane goes through (or a really bad group of customers) and we rework things, sometimes we remodel just because its nice to do…. but those may not make it to the site description. When in doubt, contact us and we can clarify. Hey, see something goofy or wrong, let us know! We’ll look into it quick and fix it.
That said, if rates, number of beds, types of beds, amenities, whatever else may exist anywhere on this site, isn’t exactly what it looks like in the real world, under no circumstances will EA be liable in any way for any such errors and omissions, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result. You see a rental for $1? No, you can’t have it for $1. Or whatever else.
’nuff said.
Also note that rates and offers generally include a discount for payment in cash (check, ACH, money order, cashier’s check, and equivalent, cash itself is not accepted).
If you would like to pay with credit card, then you acknowledge that the amount due will be increased to reflect removal of the cash discount for that portion of your overall balance for which you are paying with the credit card. Non-cash pricing is generally 3-5% higher than cash pricing. Please inquire.

User-Submitted Content and Intellectual Property
You retain all of your ownership rights in material you upload, comments you post, or other content you provide to the Service (“Your Content”).
EA will make no sale of Your Content to a third party unless and until you have expressly consented to be represented by EA Image and Video Sales.
By uploading Your Content, however, you grant EA (which includes its subsidiaries, affiliates, joint venturers, and licensees) the following rights: a worldwide, perpetual license to display, distribute, reproduce, and create derivatives of Your Content, in whole or in part, without further review or participation from you, in any medium now existing or subsequently developed, in editorial, commercial, promotional, and trade uses in connection with EA Products. EA may license or sublicense, in whole or in part, to third parties rights in Your Content as appropriate to distribute, market, or promote such EA Products. You also grant EA permission to use and authorize others to use your name and any profile picture you provide in association with Your Content for identification, editorially, publicity related to Your Content or the Service, and for similar institutional promotional purposes. You also agree that EA may make Your Content available to users of the Service who may display and redistribute it in the same way that EA makes all other Content available.
EA may use Your Content, without compensation to you, in any EA Products that feature Your Content in the context of, in direct promotion of, or otherwise strongly identified with (beyond mere attribution), the special section or community of the Service to which it was submitted, such as “My Pad,” Rick My Pad,” or successor sections or communities of the service.
EA may exercise its rights to use Your Content in EA Products other than described in sub-section c., immediately above (e.g. for an “App,” a book or e-book, merchandise, etc.), and will pay you at EA’s rates. Certain EA Products in production prior to 1 June 2013 and scheduled for release after 1 June 2013 but before 31 December 2013, are exempt from this provision and use of Your Content in such EA Products is governed by the Terms in effect prior to 1 June 2013.
To enable EA to use Your Content in EA Products, EA may request you to provide Your Content in other formats, and if technically possible, you agree to provide Your Content in such other formats so long as EA pays you the reasonable out of pocket costs of providing Your Content in such other formats.
Any payment to you is conditioned upon you keeping your registration information up to date and you completing any paperwork that EA requires to make payments to third parties. EA also reserves the right not to make payment to you if EA reasonably believes that to do so would violate applicable law.
You represent that you are the owner of Your Content, or are making your submission with express consent of the owner, that you have obtained all third party releases and permissions necessary for EA’s use, in accordance with the license you grant above, of any Your Content that you post, and nothing you post will infringe on the rights of others;
