Tower 17 Properties Damage Waiver Program

Tower 17 Properties and Management Property Damage Waiver Program (“PDW”, “PDW program, or the “program”) protects guests (“covered guests”) from the potential high costs of damages to the Tower 17 Property in which they are staying. (the “premises”).

The PDW is not insurance and does not provide liability coverage. However, if the premises sustains damage, Tower 17 properties will repair and pay for qualified repairs, up to the amount agreed to and defined herein (“Qualified Damage”). This is not a contract for insurance; the PDW’s sole purpose is to effect the maintenance of the risk of Qualified Damage to the premises by Tower 17 Properties in order to avoid shifting the risk of qualified damage to the Covered Guest.

The PDW program is active for each reservation when the covered guest opts to pay the damage waiver fee instead of paying a refundable security deposit for that reservation.
