I don’t think the contract is unreasonable. However, since it does make the class liable for damage, etc., by the class members renting the rooms, it may be advisable to post the terms on the web site, and notify anyone wanting a room that reserving one from the class allotment constitutes agreement to indemnify the class for liability under the contract due to the acts or neglect of the class member, his family, invitees or assigns.  Is this a major legal issue? No. But it may make renters aware.

Here is the agreement for 25 rooms at the Doral. It is pretty one-sided and I wouldn’t sign it without some legal advice as it makes the Class of 1961 liable for many items beyond our control.  Let me know what you think. I will try for 40 beds at the Seminary tomorrow.
