The Important Stuff, Spelled Out Clearly

Last updated: March 2026

The Short Version

  • -You must be 25 or older to book. The booker must be present during the stay.
  • -Bookings aren't confirmed until you get a confirmation email with a reference number.
  • -Full payment at booking for stays under 60 days out. 50% deposit for stays further out.
  • -You're responsible for damages beyond normal wear and tear.
  • -No parties, no subletting, no commercial use. These are vacation homes.
  • -South Carolina law governs. We solve problems through conversation first.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Eight Arms website (8armstech.com) and your booking of our vacation rental properties. By using this website or making a booking, you agree to these Terms. We've tried to make them clear and fair.

1. By Using This Site, You Agree

By using this website or booking a property, you acknowledge that you've read and agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, Cancellation Policy, and House Rules. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

2. How Bookings Work

When you complete a booking through our website, you enter into a rental agreement with us for the specified property and dates. Here's what to know:

  • You must be at least 25 years of age to book. The person making the reservation must be present during the entire stay.
  • All bookings are subject to availability. Rates are current but may change until your booking is confirmed.
  • A booking is confirmed when you receive a confirmation email with a booking reference number.
  • Payment: Full payment at booking for stays less than 60 days away. For stays 60+ days out, a 50% deposit is due at booking and the balance 30 days before check-in.

3. What You're Paying For

All rates are in US dollars. Your total booking cost includes:

  • Nightly rate: Varies by property, season, and length of stay.
  • Cleaning fee: One-time fee for professional cleaning before and after your stay.
  • Taxes: South Carolina state and local accommodation taxes as required by law.
  • Additional fees: Pet fees, extra guest fees, or other charges disclosed during booking.

Everything is shown upfront before you confirm — no hidden fees, no surprises.

4. How to Use the Property

By booking, you agree to use the property as a short-term vacation rental only. You agree to follow our House Rules and to:

  • Not exceed the posted maximum occupancy.
  • Not use the property for parties, events, or commercial purposes.
  • Not sublease or transfer your booking without our written consent.
  • Leave the property in reasonable condition at check-out.

5. If Something Gets Damaged

You're responsible for any damage beyond normal wear and tear. We know accidents happen — spilled wine, a broken glass, a kid who got creative with markers. Just tell us, and we'll work it out fairly.

A security deposit or damage protection fee may be collected at booking. If damage exceeds the deposit, you agree to cover the additional costs. If nothing's damaged, the deposit is returned within 14 days of check-out.

6. What We're Responsible For (And What We're Not)

We maintain all properties to high standards, but we provide them “as is.” We're not liable for:

  • Personal injury or damage to personal property during your stay, except where caused by our gross negligence.
  • Temporary interruptions to utilities, internet, cable, or pool equipment caused by factors we don't control.
  • Wildlife, insects, or environmental factors inherent to coastal living (yes, palmetto bugs exist — they're part of the Lowcountry charm).
  • Construction, road closures, or activities in the area we don't control.

Our total liability can't exceed the amount you paid for your booking.

7. About Our Website Content

The content on this site — text, photos, guides, and AI concierge responses — is provided for informational purposes. While we try to be accurate:

  • Photos and descriptions are representative but may not reflect every detail.
  • AI concierge recommendations are algorithmically generated. Restaurant hours and pricing may change — always verify independently.
  • We reserve the right to modify or remove any content at any time.

8. Our Content Is Ours

All content on this website — text, graphics, logos, images, and software — is the property of Eight Arms / 8 Arms Tech and is protected by copyright and intellectual property laws. Please don't reproduce or distribute it without our written permission.

9. Let's Talk It Out

If there's a dispute, we believe in solving it through good-faith conversation first. If that doesn't work, these Terms are governed by the laws of South Carolina, and disputes shall be resolved in the state or federal courts in Charleston County.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. Changes will be posted here with an updated date. Continued use of the website or booking of properties after changes means you accept the revised Terms.

11. Questions?

If you have questions about these Terms, we're happy to clarify:
