26.    ENFORCEMENT; NO WAIVER.  THE RESORT IS PRIVATE PROPERTY, AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY SUGGESTION TO THE CONTRARY IN THESE R&RS, GP RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REMOVE OR DEMAND REMOVAL OF ANY GUEST FROM THE RESORT, IMMEDIATELY AND PERMANENTLY, FOR A VIOLATION OF THESE R&RS.  VIOLATIONS OF ANY OF THE RULES AND REGULATIONS CONTAINED HEREIN MAY BE SUBJECT TO ENFORCEMENT CONSISTENT WITH ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES SET FORTH BELOW, PROVIDED, HOWEVER THAT: (A) NOTHING HEREIN PRECLUDES OR LIMITS THE AUTHORITY OF GP, AS THE PROPERTY OWNER, TO TERMINATE ANY RENTAL AGREEMENT OR TO ORDER A GUEST TO PROMPTLY LEAVE THE PRIVATE PROPERTY OF GP, AS AUTHORIZED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW; AND (B) GP’S INTERMITTENT FAILURE TO ENFORCE CERTAIN R&Rs CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL NOT BE DEEMED A WAIVER OF THE SUBJECT R&R AS TO THE SUBSEQUENT ACTS OF ANY PERSON OR ENTITY OR AS TO THE R&Rs IN GENERAL.  NONE OF THE R&Rs SHALL BE DEEMED WAIVED AGAINST ANY PERSON OR ENTITY, OR AS TO EVERYONE, UNLESS SUCH WAIVER IS EXPRESSLY GRANTED IN WRITING BY GP, AND THEN, SHALL BE A WAIVER ONLY WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC MATTER OR MATTERS TO WHICH THE WAIVER RELATES AND SHALL IN NO WAY IMPAIR THE RIGHTS OF GP OR THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE OTHER PARTIES IN ANY OTHER RESPECT AT ANY OTHER TIME.  

Subject to the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph and all other rights and remedies afforded to GP pursuant to any rental agreement to which GP and Guest may be parties, GP will enforce the R&Rs in accordance with the following policy.  GP, in its sole discretion, may (but shall have no obligation to) issue a warning notice to a Guest believed to be in violation of any of the R&Rs prior to imposing a fine or taking other enforcement action.  GP, in its discretion, may, but shall not be required to, engage in the enforcement procedures set forth herein where the alleged violation is also a breach of, or default under, any separate written agreement between GP and Guest.  A violation of these R&Rs shall constitute a breach of any rental agreement between GP and Guest. 

 

26.1    Enforcement; Relation to Rental Agreement.  The rights and remedies set forth herein are cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies of GP against Guest for a violation of a rental agreement. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit or restrict any enforcement rights or remedies of GP under any rental agreement with a Guest, or any rights or remedies available to GP at law or in equity.  A violation of the R&Rs shall be deemed a default under any applicable rental agreement between Guest and GP.  GP reserves the right to exercise all rights and remedies under the rental agreement for a violation of any of the R&Rs, including declaring Guest in default and terminating the rental agreement.

26.2    Assessment of Fines; Restrictions on Use; Self-Help.   In addition to any other right or remedy available to GP, if a Guest violates any R&R, GP may remove or restrict the Guest from access to and use of the Resort.  Any Guest violation an R&R shall be subject to a fine of $100 per violation may be imposed against a Guest for the first offense.  A fine of $250 per violation may be imposed against a Guest for a subsequent violation of the same R&R.  The foregoing notwithstanding, removal of a tree or vegetation in violation of the R&Rs will be subject to a fine of $1000 per violation, with an obligation to replace the tree with one of a similar size and quality.  Any fines which are not paid when due shall incur interest at the default rate of 12% or the maximum rate allowed under applicable law, whichever is less.  In addition to assessing the fines contemplated herein, a Guest violating the R&Rs may be subject to any fines or penalties available under applicable law, including by way of example, treble damages associated with removal of a tree. If a Guest fails to correct a violation, or in lieu of, or in addition to assessing the fines or other remedies described herein, GP may cure the violation and assess all costs of so doing against the Guest, and GP may pursue all remedies available at law and in equity. 

 

26.3    Notice of Violation; Dispute Resolution.  When a violation of any R&R occurs and GP is assessing a fine or desires the Guest to correct the violation, GP will issue a written notice of violation (“Notice”) and deliver such Notice via one or more of the following means (each such means constituting “delivery” for purposes of this Section): (i) posting such Notice on the site that the Guest is occupying, (ii) hand-delivering the Notice to the Guest (or to the Guest who has signed the R&Rs), (iii) mailing the Notice at the address on file with the Resort; or (iv) emailing the Notice to the Guest (or to the Guest who has signed the R&Rs) at the e-mail address on file with the Resort; or (v) placing the Notice on the vehicle of the Guest.  The Notice will be addressed to the Guest whose name is on the rental agreement or other registration on file with the Manager—if such address is available, or otherwise contain the best information available (e.g., name/license plate) identifying the Guest; state the violation and the fine as well as the date on which such fine is due.

 

26.4    Grievance Procedure.  If a Guest receives a Notice, then within three (3) days of the date that GP delivers the Notice to Guest, Guest may dispute the violation or explain the Guest’s position by notifying the Manager and Board in writing (either via hand delivery to the Manager of the Resort, or via email addressed to both directors@granitepointresort.com and manager@granitepointresort.com ) of the basis for disputing the violation, and, if so desired, request a hearing (which hearing may, subject to Board availability, be conducted via conference call) before a quorum of the Board of Directors for GP (“Hearing”).  If the Guest has timely requested the Hearing, then the Board shall set a time and date for such Hearing, which Hearing shall be held between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 p.m., Monday-Friday, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Guest and the Board.  The Guest shall be bound by the decision of a majority of the Board, any fines previously assessed shall be immediately due.  Any subsequent violation of an R&R by the same Guest shall be subject to the same process set forth above.
