Communication: Any advice, complaint or suggestion regarding employee performance, Association operations, or any other Association business must be submitted in writing and signed by the Member. It may be delivered to the Association’s General Manager or to the Board President. ANY OTHER communication of any kind, including without limitation any anonymous communication, communication directed to a particular employee or Member, or broadly circulated communication that criticizes or threatens any employee or Association officer shall not be tolerated and shall be deemed a violation of these Rules. The Association recognizes that Members may discuss among themselves general observations, but any specific or direct communication that violates this Rule, or any widespread communication intended to cast any employee in a bad light will not be tolerated. Expenses: The Association may incur significant expenses as a result of any Member, family member, or guest violating these General Rules or any of the other Association Rules. The Association may pursue to the greatest extent allowed by law and the Association’s governing documents restitution from any Members who cause the Association to incur such expenses. Without limiting the foregoing, the Association may assess against any such Member as a Special Assessment the Association’s expenses in addressing a Member’s violation of any Association Rule. 1.1 Warning and Disclaimer of Liability The use of the facilities at Forest Highlands (golf courses, practice areas, playgrounds, ponds, pools, streets, etc.) possesses certain inherent risks. Among those risks are potential injuries arising from falls, errant golf balls, traffic accidents, drowning/submersion, the use of maintenance equipment and the like. By virtue of their membership, the payment of their dues, and the use of the aforementioned facilities, members, for themselves, their families and their guests, acknowledge the existence of these and all similar risks attendant to the use of the facilities. Members also acknowledge being warned to avoid these risks at all times. Members further acknowledge the Association, its directors, officers and employees have taken, and will continue to take every reasonable step to prevent such incidents from occurring. Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing, and in being permitted to use the facilities, members and their families and guests agree that neither the Association nor its directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be held liable for any injury or death resulting from the use of the facilities whether due to alleged negligence or otherwise. 1.2 Unlawful Harassment Forest Highlands is committed to providing a work environment that is free from all forms of discrimination and conduct that can be considered harassing, coercive, or disruptive, including but not limited to sexual harassment.
