NOTICES AND DISCLAIMERS

 

ORAL REPRESENTATIONS CANNOT BE RELIED UPON AS CORRECTLY STATING THE REPRESENTATIONS OF THE DEVELOPER. 

 

The Lagune Bay condominium project (the “project”) is owned, and is being developed, offered and sold by the Developer.

 

Karis Development Company NV (Karis) has granted to Developer a limited right to use certain intellectual property, in connection with the Developer’s offering and sale of the residential units at the project.  

 

Karis has no responsibility or liability to any party regarding the offering, sale, development, construction or management of the project.  Karis has not confirmed the accuracy of any marketing, offering or sales materials, prospectus, offering circulars or other similar documents provided or used by the Developer.  Karis is not an agent for the Developer and is not acting as broker, finder or agent in connection with the offer or sale of the units at the project.  

 

You waive and release Karis from and against any liability with respect to or in any way relating to: (I) any representations or defects or any claim whatsoever, relating to the marketing, offering, sale, design, construction or management of the project or any unit therein, or the condominium, (II) the termination of the License Agreements for any reason, and (III) termination and cessation at or in relation to the project or the condominium.

 

The project materials and content provided via the Site are provided by the Developer as a service to its customers and may be used for informational purposes only.  This Site is meant to be used as an overview of the project being developed by the Developer and in no way whatsoever should the information contained in this Site be relied on for financial, tax, accounting, investment, business or legal advice.  All items are subject to modification, change and/or being withdrawn at any time in the sole discretion of the Developer without notice.  

 

Nothing on this Site is intended as an offer to sell, or solicitation of offers to buy, condominium units in any jurisdiction where such offer or solicitation cannot be made or are otherwise prohibited by law, and your eligibility to purchase will depend on your state of residency.  Such an offering shall only be made pursuant to the offering documents for the condominium and no statements should be relied upon unless made in the offering documents or in the applicable purchase agreement. In no event shall any solicitation, offer or sale of a unit in the condominium be made in, or to residents of, any country in which such activity would be unlawful.  This is not an offer to sell nor a solicitation to purchase a condominium unit directed to any person where such an offer or solicitation is prohibited by law unless the condominium is registered if required or exempt.  No real estate broker or salesperson is authorized to make any representations or other statements regarding this project, and no agreements with, deposits paid to or other arrangements made with any real estate broker are or shall be binding on the Developer.  

 

All prices are subject to change at any time and without notice, and do not include optional features or premiums for upgraded units.  From time to time, price changes may have occurred that are not yet reflected on this Site.  Please check with the sales center for most current pricing.

  

All plans, features and amenities depicted herein are based upon preliminary development plans and are subject to change without notice in the manner provided in the offering documents.  No guarantees or representations whatsoever are made that any plans, features, amenities or facilities will be provided or, if provided, will be of the same type, size, location or nature as depicted or described herein.  The sketches, renderings, graphic materials, plans, specifications, terms, conditions and statements contained in this Site are proposed only, and we reserve the right to modify, revise or withdraw any or all of same in our sole discretion and without prior notice.  All improvements, designs and construction are subject to first obtaining the appropriate federal, state and local permits and approvals for same.  Any drawings and depictions in this Site are conceptual only and are for the convenience of reference.  They should not be relied upon as representations, express or implied, of the final detail of the project. The Developer expressly reserves the right to make modifications, revisions, and changes it deems desirable in its sole and absolute discretion.  All depictions of appliances, counters, soffits, floor coverings and other matters of detail, including, without limitation, items of finish and decoration, are conceptual only and are not necessarily included in each unit. All such materials are not to scale and are shown solely for illustrative purposes.  

 

The photographs contained in this Site may be stock photography or have been taken off-site and are used to depict the spirit of the lifestyles to be achieved rather than any that may exist or that may be proposed, and are merely intended as illustrations of the activities and concepts depicted therein.  Consult your agreement and the offering documents for the items included with the units.  Dimensions, ceiling heights and square footage are approximate and may vary with actual construction. Images and renderings are not to scale and are shown solely for illustrative purposes.  Renderings depict proposed views, which are not identical from each unit.  Any view from any unit of from other portions of the property may in the future be limited or eliminated by future development or forces of nature and the Developer in no manner guarantees the continuing existence of any view.  

 

Interior photos shown may depict options and upgrades and are not representative of standard features and may not be available for all model types. All fixtures, furniture and items of finish and decoration of units described herein are for display only and may not to be included with the unit, unless expressly provided in the purchase agreement.

 

Because wood is a natural product, every piece has a unique color and appearance, and every installed floor will have its own distinctive visual character. Photographs, samples and website images can offer an impression of the product, but they may not be representative of the full range of color, knots, texture and grain variations which can exist in the product itself as installed.  Wood is subject to weathering and fading and as such the coloration may vary over time.  Additionally, all wood flooring will acclimate to the temperature and humidity in the Unit and seasonal movement in a wood floor is to be expected, as wood is a product of nature and will expand and contract with changes in humidity and temperature. Gaps often appear between boards during colder periods and tighten in warmer temperatures.  Minimizing heat and humidity fluctuations is required to preserve the condition of the wood.  Even under ideal conditions, wood is subject to warping, bowing and cupping. 

 

Ceiling heights are measured from top of slab to top of slab.  As a result, actual clearance between the top of the finished floor coverings and the underside of the finished ceiling, drop ceiling or soffits will be less.  All ceiling heights are approximate and subject to change.

 

Any and all references to and/or renderings of other proposed projects or nearby facilities depicted are proposed only, are not constructed, and are not being developed by the Developer.  As such, the Developer has no control over those projects or facilities and there is no guarantee that they will be developed, or if so, when and what they will consist of. The information provided herein regarding other proposed projects or facilities depicted was obtained from newspaper articles and other public information and Developer makes no representations as to same.

 

Restaurants and other business establishments and/or any operators of same referenced on the Site are subject to change at any time, and no representations regarding restaurants, businesses and/or operators within the project may be relied upon.  Restaurants, and/or other business establishments, are anticipated to be operated from the commercial components of the project which will be offered for sale to third parties. Except as may be otherwise provided in the offering materials, the use of the commercial spaces will be in discretion of the purchasers of those spaces and there is no assurance that they will be used for the purposes, and/or with the operators, named herein.
