Prior to my stay at the Iris Respite House located at 183 Shafer Road, Moon Township, PA 15108 (the “Property”), I hereby acknowledge that I have read and agree to the following terms and conditions:
Open Flame Policy:

The use of any kind of fire (candles, fire pits, and smoking outside of designated area) on the Property, other than smoking in the designated smoking area, is prohibited.
Swim at Your Own Risk/Liability Release
I understand the Property has an indoor pool available for guest use. I acknowledge swimming poses inherent risks (slips, falls, drowning, serious injury, or death) and understand that the pool area is not supervised. I agree to use the pool at my own risk and release Hope Grows and its staff from any liability for accidents, injuries, or damage that may occur while using the pool facilities. I also understand that (1) glass is not allowed in the pool area at any time, (2) consuming alcohol while swimming is prohibited; and (3) swimming while under the influence of drugs or alcohol is prohibited.
