Terms of Service

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS.

IN PARTICULAR, HOSTS SHOULD UNDERSTAND HOW THE LAWS WORK IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CITIES. SOME CITIES HAVE LAWS THAT RESTRICT THEIR ABILITY TO HOST PAYING GUESTS FOR SHORT PERIODS. THESE LAWS ARE OFTEN PART OF A CITY'S ZONING OR ADMINISTRATIVE CODES. IN MANY CITIES, HOSTS MUST REGISTER, GET A PERMIT, OR OBTAIN A LICENSE BEFORE LISTING A PROPERTY OR ACCEPTING GUESTS. CERTAIN TYPES OF SHORT-TERM BOOKINGS MAY BE PROHIBITED ALTOGETHER. LOCAL GOVERNMENTS VARY GREATLY IN HOW THEY ENFORCE THESE LAWS. PENALTIES MAY INCLUDE FINES OR OTHER ENFORCEMENT. HOSTS SHOULD REVIEW LOCAL LAWS BEFORE LISTING A SPACE ON RoomMappy.

As part of the functionality of the Site and Services, you may link your RoomMappy Account with Third-Party Accounts, by either: (i) providing your Third-Party Account login information to RoomMappy through the Site or Services; or (ii) allowing RoomMappy to access your Third-Party Account, as permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third-Party Account. You represent that you are entitled to disclose your Third-Party Account login information to RoomMappy and/or grant RoomMappy access to your Third-Party Account (including, but not limited to, for use for the purposes described herein), without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable Third-Party Account and without obligating RoomMappy to pay any fees or making RoomMappy subject to any usage limitations imposed by such third-party service providers. By granting RoomMappy access to any Third-Party Accounts, you understand that RoomMappy will access, make available and store (if applicable) any Content that you have provided to and stored in your Third-Party Account ("SNS Content") so that it is available on and through the Site and Services via your RoomMappy Account and RoomMappy Account profile page. Unless otherwise specified in these Terms, all SNS Content, if any, will be considered to be Member Content for all purposes of these Terms. Depending on the Third-Party Accounts you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third-Party Accounts, personally identifiable information that you post to your Third-Party Accounts will be available on and through your RoomMappy Account on the Site and Services. Please note that if a Third-Party Account or associated service becomes unavailable or RoomMappy's access to such Third-Party Account is terminated by the third-party service provider, then SNS Content will no longer be available on and through the Site and Services. You have the ability to disable the connection between your RoomMappy Account and your Third-Party Accounts, at any time, by accessing the "Settings" section of the Site. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS. RoomMappy makes no effort to review any SNS Content for any purpose, including but not limited to for accuracy, legality or non-infringement and RoomMappy is not responsible for any SNS Content.

Your RoomMappy Account and your RoomMappy Account profile page will be created for your use of the Site based upon the personal information you provide to us or that we obtain via a SNS as described above. You may not have more than one (1) active RoomMappy Account. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current and complete. RoomMappy reserves the right to suspend or terminate your RoomMappy Account and your access to the Site and Services if you create more than one (1) RoomMappy Account, or if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, fraudulent, not current or incomplete. You are responsible for safeguarding your password. You agree that you will not disclose your password to any third party and that you will take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your RoomMappy Account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. You will immediately notify RoomMappy of any unauthorized use of your RoomMappy Account.

Accommodation Listings

As a Member, you may create Listings. To create a Listing, you will be asked a variety of questions about the Accommodation to be listed, including, but not limited to, the location, capacity, size, features, and availability of the Accommodation and pricing and related rules and financial terms. In order to be featured in Listings via the Site and Services, all Accommodations must have valid physical addresses. Listings will be made publicly available via the Site and Services. Other Members will be able to book your Accommodation via the Site and Services based upon the information provided in your Listing. You understand and agree that once a Guest requests a booking of your Accommodation, you may not request the Guest to pay a higher price than in the booking request.

You acknowledge and agree that you alone are responsible for any and all Listings and Member Content you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Listing you post and the booking of, or a Guest's stay at, an Accommodation in a Listing you post (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, such as homeowners association, condominium, lease or rental agreements, and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws (such as zoning laws and laws governing rentals of residential and other properties), Tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Accommodation included in a Listing you post (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties. Please note that RoomMappy assumes no responsibility for a Host's compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations. RoomMappy reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Listing for any reason, including Listings that RoomMappy, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms, or otherwise harmful to the Site or Services.

If you are a Host, you understand and agree that RoomMappy does not act as an insurer or as your contracting agent. If a Guest requests a booking of your Accommodation and stays at your Accommodation, any agreement you enter into with such Guest is between you and the Guest and RoomMappy is not a party to it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, RoomMappy Payments serves as the limited authorized payment collection agent of the Host for the purpose of accepting, on behalf of the Host, payments from Guests of such amounts stipulated by the Host (including cleaning or other fees and/or Taxes).

When you create a Listing, you may also choose to include certain requirements which must be met by the Members who are eligible to request a booking of your Accommodation, such as requiring Members to have a profile picture or verified phone number, in order to book your Accommodation. Any Member wishing to book Accommodations included in Listings with such requirements must meet these requirements. More information on how to set such requirements is available via the "Hosting" section of the Site and Services.

If you are a Host, RoomMappy makes certain tools available to you to help you to make informed decisions about which Members you choose to confirm or preapprove for booking for your Accommodation. You acknowledge and agree that, as a Host, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals who reside at or are otherwise present at the Accommodation at your request or invitation, excluding the Guest (and the individuals the Guest invites to the Accommodation, if applicable.)

RoomMappy recommends that Hosts obtain appropriate insurance for their Accommodations. Please review any insurance policy that you may have for your Accommodation carefully, and in particular please make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of Guests (and the individuals the Guest invites to the Accommodation, if applicable) while at your Accommodation.

You agree that you alone are responsible for ensuring that your Listing is accurately represented in the images. You alone are responsible for using accurate images and you warrant that you will cease to use images if such images cease to accurately represent your Listing.

No Endorsement

RoomMappy does not endorse any Member or any Accommodation. Members are required by these Terms to provide accurate information, and although RoomMappy may undertake additional checks and processes designed to help verify or check the identities or backgrounds of users, we do not make any representations about, confirm, or endorse any Member or the Member's purported identity or background.

Any references in the Site or Services to a Member being "verified" or "connected" (or similar language) only indicates that the Member has completed a relevant verification process, and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by RoomMappy about any Member, including of the Member's identity and whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. Instead, any such description is intended to be useful information for you to evaluate when you make your own decisions about the identity and suitability of others whom you contact or interact with via the Site and Services. We therefore recommend that you always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to stay with a Host or to accept a booking request from a Guest, or to have any other interaction with any other Member. We are not responsible for any damage or harm resulting from your interactions with other Members.

By using the Site or Services, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other Members or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Members or other third parties who caused you harm. You agree not to attempt to impose liability on or seek any legal remedy from RoomMappy with respect to such actions or omissions. Accordingly, we encourage you to communicate directly with other Members on the Site and Services regarding any bookings or Listings made by you. This limitation shall not apply to any claim by a Host against RoomMappy regarding the remittance of payments received from a Guest by RoomMappy on behalf of a Host, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled "Limitation of Liability".

Bookings and Financial Terms

Key definitions

"Accommodation Fees" means the amounts that are due and payable by a Guest in exchange for that Guest's stay in an Accommodation. The Host alone, and not RoomMappy, is responsible for the Accommodation Fees for his or her Listing. The Host may in his or her sole discretion decide to include in these amounts (i) a cleaning fee or any other fee permitted on the RoomMappy platform, or (ii) Taxes that the Host determines that he or she has to collect.

"Guest Fees" means the fee that RoomMappy charges a Guest for the use of the Services, which is calculated as a percentage of the applicable Accommodation Fees. The Guest Fees will be displayed to the Guest when the Guest is asked whether to send a booking request to a Host.

"Host Fees" means the fee that RoomMappy charges a Host for the use of the Services, which is calculated as a percentage of the applicable Accommodation Fees. The Host Fees will be displayed to the Host when the Host is asked whether to confirm or reject a booking request from a prospective Guest.

"Service Fees" means collectively the Guest Fees and the Host Fees.

"Total Fees" means collectively the Accommodation Fees and the Guest Fees plus any Taxes.

Bookings and Financial Terms for Hosts and Guests

If you are a Host and a booking is requested for your Accommodation via the Site or Services, you will be required to either confirm or reject the booking request within the Booking Request Period, otherwise the booking request will automatically expire. When a booking is requested via the Site or Services, we will share with you (i) the first and last name of the Guest who has requested the booking, (ii) a link to the Guest's RoomMappy Account profile page, (iii) if the Guest and Host have both connected their RoomMappy accounts to SNS, the names of any members of a SNS with whom you are "friends" or associated on the SNS if such individuals are also "friends" or associated with the Guest on such SNS, and (iv) an indication of whether or not the Guest has provided other information to RoomMappy, such as a verified email address, connection to SNS's, or a government ID. If you are unable to confirm or decide to reject a booking request within the Booking Request Period, any amounts collected by RoomMappy for the requested booking will be refunded to the applicable Guest's credit card and any pre-authorization of such credit card will be released. When you confirm a booking requested by a Guest, RoomMappy will send you an email, confirming such booking, depending on the selections you make via the Site and Services.

RoomMappy Payments will collect the Total Fees at the time of booking confirmation (i.e. when the Host confirms the booking request) and will initiate payment of the Accommodation Fees (less RoomMappy's Host Fees and any Taxes in respect of the Host Fees, such as VAT in Europe) to the Host within 24 hours of when the Guest arrives at the applicable Accommodation (except to the extent that a refund is due to the Guest). The time it takes for the Host to receive payouts may depend upon the payout method chosen by the Host. Some methods involve the use of third-party payment processors, who may impose their own additional charges for the use of their services on the Host, including by deducting their charges from the payout amount.

If you owe or agree to pay any amount via RoomMappy Payments to RoomMappy (whether as a result of your bookings or actions as a Guest or otherwise), then RoomMappy Payments may (but is not obliged to) withhold the amount owing to RoomMappy from any payout amounts due to you as a Host, and use the withheld amount to setoff the amount owed by you to RoomMappy. If RoomMappy Payments does so, then your obligation to pay RoomMappy will be extinguished to the extent of the amount withheld by RoomMappy Payments, and RoomMappy will cease to owe to you any obligations (including, but not limited to, any obligation to pay you) with respect to the amount withheld. In addition to the amount due, if your account is delinquent or you otherwise have chargebacks on your account, you may be charged fees that are incidental to our collection of these delinquent amounts and chargebacks. Such fees or charges may include collection fees, convenience fees, or other third party charges. You hereby explicitly agree that all communication in relation to delinquent accounts will be made by electronic mail or by phone, as provided to RoomMappy by you. Such communication may be made by RoomMappy or by anyone on its behalf, including but not limited to a third party collection agent.

Appointment of RoomMappy Payments as Limited Payment Collection Agent for Host

Each Host hereby appoints RoomMappy Payments as the Host's limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting the Accommodation Fees from Guests.

Each Host agrees that payment made by a Guest through RoomMappy Payments, shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to the Host, and the Host will make the Accommodation available to the Guest in the agreed-upon manner as if the Host has received the Accommodation Fees. Each Host agrees that RoomMappy may, in accordance with the cancellation policy selected by the Host and reflected in the relevant Listing, (i) permit the Guest to cancel the booking and (ii) refund (via RoomMappy Payments) to the Guest that portion of the Accommodation Fees specified in the applicable cancellation policy. Each Host understands that as RoomMappy Payments accepts payments from Guests as the Host's limited payment collection agent and that RoomMappy Payments' obligation to pay the Host is subject to and conditional upon successful receipt of the associated payments from Guests. RoomMappy does not guarantee payments to Hosts for amounts that have not been successfully received by RoomMappy Payments from Guests. In accepting appointment as the limited authorized agent of the Host, RoomMappy Payments assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of the Host.

Please note that RoomMappy does not currently charge fees for the creation of Listings. However, you as a Host acknowledge and agree that RoomMappy reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to charge you for and collect fees from you for the creation of Listings. Please note that RoomMappy will provide notice of any Listing fee collection via the Site and Services, prior to implementing such a Listing fee feature.

Bookings and Financial Terms for Guests

The Hosts, not RoomMappy, are solely responsible for honoring any confirmed bookings and making available any Accommodations reserved through the Site and Services. If you, as a Guest, choose to enter into a transaction with a Host for the booking of an Accommodation, you agree and understand that you will be required to enter into an agreement with the Host and you agree to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with such Accommodation imposed by the Host. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not RoomMappy, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any such agreements, that RoomMappy is not a party to such agreements, and that, with the exception of its payment obligations hereunder, RoomMappy disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements. You acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the fact that RoomMappy is not a party to the agreement between you and the Host, RoomMappy Payments acts as the Host's payment collection agent for the limited purpose of accepting payments from you on behalf of the Host. Upon your payment of the Total Fees to RoomMappy Payments, your payment obligation to the Host for the Accommodation Fees is extinguished, and RoomMappy Payments is responsible for remitting the Accommodation Fees (less the Host Fees and any Taxes in respect of the Host Fees, such as VAT in Europe), in the manner described in these Terms. In the event that RoomMappy Payments does not remit any such amounts as described in these Terms, such Host will have recourse only against such RoomMappy entity.

The Total Fees payable will be displayed to a Guest before the Guest sends a booking request to a Host. As noted above, the Host is required to either confirm or reject the booking request within the Booking Request Period; otherwise, the requested booking will be automatically cancelled. If a requested booking is cancelled (i.e. not confirmed by the applicable Host), any amounts collected by RoomMappy Payments will be refunded to such Guest, depending on the selections the Guest makes via the Site and any pre-authorization of such Guest's credit card will be released, if applicable.

You as a Guest agree to pay RoomMappy for the Total Fees for any booking requested in connection with your RoomMappy Account if such requested bookings are confirmed by the applicable Host. In order to establish a booking pending the applicable Host's confirmation of your requested booking, you understand and agree that RoomMappy Payments, on behalf of the Host, reserve the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) obtain a pre-authorization via your credit card for the Total Fees or (ii) charge your credit card a nominal amount, not to exceed one dollar ($1), or a similar sum in the currency in which you are transacting (e.g. one euro or one British pound), to verify your credit card. As a general rule, RoomMappy Payments will collect the Total Fees due once RoomMappy receives confirmation of your booking from the applicable Host; if necessary, Total Fees may instead be collected at a later point. Please note that RoomMappy cannot control any fees that may be charged to a Guest by his or her bank related to RoomMappy's collection of the Total Fees, and RoomMappy disclaims all liability in this regard.

In connection with your requested booking, you will be asked to provide customary billing information such as name, billing address and credit card information either to RoomMappy Payments or its third-party payment processor(s). You agree to pay RoomMappy Payments for any confirmed bookings made in connection with your RoomMappy Account in accordance with these Terms by one of the methods described on the Site, e.g. by PayPal or credit card. You hereby authorize the collection of such amounts by charging the credit card provided as part of requesting the booking, either directly by RoomMappy Payments or indirectly, via a third-party online payment processor or by one of the payment methods described on the Site. You also authorize RoomMappy Payments to charge your credit card in the event of damage caused at an Accommodation as contemplated under "Damage to Accommodations" below and for Security Deposits, if applicable. If you are directed to RoomMappy Payments' third-party payment processor(s), you may be subject to terms and conditions governing use of that third party's service and that third party's personal information collection practices. Please review such terms and conditions and privacy policy before using the services. Once your confirmed booking transaction is complete you will receive a confirmation email summarizing your confirmed booking.

Security Deposits

Hosts may choose to include security deposits in their Listings ("Security Deposits"). Each Listing will describe whether a Security Deposit is required for the applicable Accommodation. If a Security Deposit is included in a Listing for a confirmed booking of an Accommodation, and a Host makes a claim against such Security Deposit, RoomMappy Payments will, in its capacity as the payment collection agent of the Host, use its commercially reasonable efforts to charge the Guest's payment method in the amount of the Security Deposit, within a reasonable period of time after the Guest's check-out from the Host's Accommodation. RoomMappy will also use its commercially reasonable efforts to address Hosts' requests and claims related to Security Deposits, but RoomMappy is not responsible for administering or accepting any claims by Hosts related to Security Deposits, and disclaims any and all liability in this regard.

Service Fees

In consideration for the use of RoomMappy's online marketplace and platform, RoomMappy charges the Service Fees. Where applicable, Taxes (such as VAT in Europe) may also be charged in respect of the Host Fees and Guest Fees. RoomMappy Payments deducts the Host Fees from the Accommodation Fees before remitting the balance to the Host as described in these Terms. Guest Fees are, as noted above, included in the Total Fees.

Balances will be remitted by RoomMappy Payments to Hosts via PayPal, direct deposit or other payment methods, as described on the Site in the Host's currency of choice, depending upon the selections the Host makes via the Site and Services. Amounts may be rounded up or down as described in the "Rounding Off" section below.

Please note that RoomMappy Payments, may impose or deduct foreign currency processing costs on or from any payments or payouts by RoomMappy in currencies other than U.S. dollars. More information on any such costs or deductions will be available via the Site. Except as otherwise provided herein, Service Fees are non-refundable.

General Booking and Financial Terms

Cancellations and Refunds

If, as a Guest, you cancel your requested booking before the requested booking is confirmed by a Host, RoomMappy Payments will cancel any pre-authorization to your credit card and/or refund any nominal amounts charged to your credit card in connection with the requested booking within a commercially reasonable time. If, as a Guest, you wish to cancel a confirmed booking made via the Site and Services, either prior to or after arriving at the Accommodation, the cancellation policy of the Host contained in the applicable Listing will apply to such cancellation. Our ability to refund the Accommodation Fees and other amounts charged to you will depend upon the terms of the applicable cancellation policy. The Guest Fee is non-refundable regardless of the cancellation policy selected by the Host.

If a Host cancels a confirmed booking made via the Site and Services, (i) RoomMappy Payments will refund the Total Fees for such booking to the applicable Guest within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation and (ii) the Guest will receive an email or other communication from RoomMappy containing alternative Listings and other related information. If the Guest requests a booking from one of the alternative Listings and the Host associated with such alternative Listing confirms the Guest's requested booking, then the Guest agrees to pay RoomMappy the Total Fees relating to the confirmed booking for the Accommodation in the alternative Listing, in accordance with these Terms. If a Host cancelled a confirmed booking and you, as a Guest, have not received an email or other communication from RoomMappy.

If, as a Host, you cancel a confirmed booking, you agree that RoomMappy may apply penalties or consequences to you or your Listing, including (i) publishing an automated review on your Listing indicating that a reservation was cancelled, (ii) keeping the calendar for your Listing unavailable or blocked for the dates of the cancelled booking, or (iii) imposing a cancellation fee (to be withheld from your future payouts or charged to the credit card on file in your RoomMappy Account). You will be notified of the situations in which a cancellation fee applies before you decide to cancel.

In certain circumstances, RoomMappy may decide, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary or desirable to cancel a confirmed booking made via the Site and Services. This may be for reasons set forth or for any other reason. RoomMappy Payments may also determine, in its sole discretion, to refund to the Guest part or all of the amounts charged to the Guest in accordance with the Guest Refund Policy. You agree that RoomMappy and the relevant Guest or Host will not have any liability for such cancellations or refunds.

If, as a Host, your Guest cancels a confirmed booking or RoomMappy decides that it is necessary to cancel a confirmed booking, and RoomMappy issues a refund to the Guest in accordance with the Guest Refund Policy or other applicable cancellation policies, you agree that in the event you have already been paid RoomMappy shall be entitled to recover the amount of any such Guest refund from you, including by subtracting such refund amount out from any future Accommodation Fees due to you.

Guest Refund Policy

Recurring Payments

In some instances, Guests may be required to make recurring, incremental payments toward the Total Fees owed for a confirmed booking before beginning his or her stay at the applicable Accommodation (collectively, "Recurring Payments"). More information on Recurring Payments will be made available via the Site and Services, if applicable. If Recurring Payments apply to a confirmed booking, then the Guest authorizes RoomMappy Payments, on behalf of the Host, to collect the Total Fees and the Host agrees that such RoomMappy entity will initiate payouts to the Host, in the increments and at the frequency associated with the applicable Recurring Payments, each as identified on the Site and Services.

Rounding Off

RoomMappy may, in its sole discretion, round up or round down amounts that are payable from or to Guests or Hosts to the nearest whole functional base unit in which the currency is denominated (e.g. to the nearest dollar, euro or other supported currency); for example, RoomMappy will round up an amount of $101.50 to $102.00, and $101.49 to $101.00.

Some currencies are denominated in large numbers. In those cases, RoomMappy may determine the functional base unit in which those currencies are denominated to be 10, 100 or 1,000 of the currency; the corresponding examples for such currencies would be for RoomMappy to round up an amount of 1,045 up to 1,050 and 1,044 down to 1,040, or 35,450 up to 35,500 and 35,449 down to 35,400, or 837,500 up to 838,000 and 837,499 down to 837,000.

Payment Processing Errors

We will take steps to rectify any payment processing errors that we become aware of. These steps may include crediting or debiting (as appropriate) the same payment method used for the original payout to or payment by you, so that you end up receiving or paying the correct amount.

Donations

Some Hosts may pledge to donate a portion of the funds they receive from confirmed bookings made via the Site and Services to a particular cause or charity. We do not take any responsibility or liability for whether the Host does in fact make the donation he or she pledged to make. In such cases, the Host in question is responsible for his or her own compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to such pledges and/or fund-raising.

Taxes

Tax regulations may require us to collect appropriate tax information from our Hosts, or to withhold taxes from payouts to Hosts, or both. For instance, IRS regulations stipulate that we must collect an IRS Form W-9 from our US Hosts, and an appropriate IRS Form W-8 (e.g. Form W-8BEN) from non-US hosts with at least one Listing in the US. You as a Host are solely responsible for keeping the information in your tax forms current, complete and accurate. If you as a Host fail to provide us with documentation that we determine to be sufficient to alleviate our obligation (if any) to withhold taxes from payments to you (e.g. where you are a US Host and you fail to provide us with a completed IRS Form W-9), we reserve the right in our sole discretion to freeze all payouts to you until resolution, to withhold such amounts as required by law, or to do both.

You as a Host understand and agree that you are solely responsible for determining (i) your applicable Tax reporting requirements, and (ii) the Taxes that should be included, and for including Taxes to be collected or obligations relating to applicable Taxes in Listings. You are also solely responsible for remitting to the relevant authority any Taxes included or received by you. RoomMappy cannot and does not offer Tax-related advice to any Members.

Where applicable, or based upon request from a Host, RoomMappy may issue a valid VAT invoice to such Host.

You understand and acknowledge that appropriate governmental agencies, departments or authorities (the "Tax Authority") where your Accommodation is located may require Taxes to be collected from Guests or Hosts on the amount paid for the right to use and/or occupancy of accommodations, and to be remitted to the respective Tax Authority. The laws in jurisdictions may vary, but these taxes may be required to be collected and remitted as a percentage of the rent or Accommodation Fees set by Hosts, a set amount per day, or other variations, and are sometimes called "occupancy taxes," "hotel taxes," "lodging taxes," "transient taxes," "sales and use taxes," "value added taxes," "room taxes" or "tourist taxes" (hereafter, "Occupancy Taxes").

Occupancy Tax Collection and Remittance

In certain jurisdictions, RoomMappy may decide in its sole discretion to facilitate collection and remittance of Occupancy Taxes from or on behalf of Guests or Hosts, in accordance with your directions in this Agreement ("Collection and Remittance") if such tax jurisdiction asserts RoomMappy or Hosts have a tax collection and remittance obligation. In any jurisdiction in which we decide to facilitate direct Collection and Remittance, whether you are a Guest or Host, in lieu of the Host collecting Occupancy taxes from Guests and remitting to the Tax Authority, you hereby instruct and authorize RoomMappy to collect Occupancy Taxes from Guests on the Host's behalf at the time Accommodation Fees are collected, and to remit such Occupancy Taxes to the Tax Authority.

Opt-out to Host Remittance of Taxes

Hosts may choose to opt out of RoomMappy withholding taxes at the time of booking. The opt out option is chosen during the listing steps in the listing pages. If you as a Hosts choose to opt out, then you agree that you are responsible for collecting taxes on your own. You expressly agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold RoomMappy and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, debts, obligations, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and/or accounting fees, arising out of or in any way related to Occupancy Taxes, including, without limitation, the applicability of, calculation, collection or remittance of Occupancy Taxes in any amount or at all as to your transactions or Accommodations.

Opt-in to Host Remittance of Taxes

In other jurisdictions, RoomMappy may decide in its sole discretion to facilitate Occupancy Tax collection on behalf of Hosts and Guests in accordance with a Host's direction to opt in to a specific Occupancy Tax line item in the booking process, in which the Host directs that Occupancy Taxes from Guests be sent directly to the Host so that the Host will remit such taxes directly to Tax Authority -(-"Opt-in for Host Remittance"). In any jurisdiction in which we decide to facilitate Collection by Opt-in for Host Remittance, whether you are a Guest or Host, you hereby instruct and authorize RoomMappy to send Occupancy Taxes received from Guests at the time Accommodation Fees are collected to the Host who is obligated to send such taxes to the Tax Authority directly. If RoomMappy offers and a Host selects Opt-in for Host Remittance in any jurisdiction, Hosts and Guests remain solely responsible and liable for the payment and remittance of any and all taxes that may apply to Accommodations; you agree and understand that RoomMappy is not responsible for, and will not send any such Occupancy Taxes to the Tax Authority under Opt-in to Host Remittance of Taxes. You hereby agree that through third party payment processors, RoomMappy is merely processing Your election and direction to have Occupancy Taxes from Guests sent directly to the Host for remittance by the Host to the Tax Authority, and that You will remit all amounts collected from Guests as Occupancy Taxes to such Tax Authority. You expressly agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold RoomMappy and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, debts, obligations, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and/or accounting fees, arising out of or in any way related to Occupancy Taxes, including, without limitation, the applicability of, calculation of, collection of Occupancy Taxes in any amount or at all as to your transactions or Accommodations. For any jurisdiction in which we facilitate Opt-in for Host Remittance, Hosts and Guests expressly grant us permission, without further notice, to store, transfer and disclose data and other information relating to them or to their Transactions, Bookings, Accommodations and Occupancy Taxes, including, but not limited to, personally identifiable information such as Host or Guest's name, listing addresses, transaction dates and amounts, tax identification number(s), the amount of taxes received by Hosts from Guests, or allegedly due, contact information and similar information, to the relevant Tax Authority.

Miscellaneous Occupancy Tax Provisions

Whether you are a Guest or Host, you agree that any claim or cause of action relating to RoomMappy's facilitation of Opt-in Remittance or Collection and Remittance of Taxes shall not extend to any supplier or vendor that may be used by RoomMappy in connection with facilitation of Opt-in Remittance or Collection and Remittance of Occupancy Taxes, if any. Guests and Hosts agree that we may seek additional amounts from you in the event that the Taxes collected and/or remitted are insufficient to fully discharge your obligations to the Tax Authority, and agree that your sole remedy for Occupancy Taxes collected is a refund of Occupancy Taxes collected by RoomMappy from the applicable Tax Authority in accordance with applicable procedures set by that Tax Authority.

In any jurisdiction in which we have not provided notice of, or are not facilitating (or are no longer facilitating) the collection or remittance of Occupancy Taxes by Collection and Remittance, Opt-in for Host Remittance or any other means or method, in your jurisdiction, Hosts and Guests remain solely responsible and liable for the collection and/or remittance of any and all Occupancy Taxes that may apply to Accommodations.

Hosts and Guests acknowledge and agree that in some jurisdictions, RoomMappy may decide not to facilitate collection or remittance of Occupancy Taxes or may not be able to facilitate the collection and/or remittance of Occupancy Taxes, and nothing contained in this Agreement is a representation or guarantee that RoomMappy will facilitate collection and/or remittance of Occupancy Tax anywhere at all, including in any specific jurisdiction, or that RoomMappy will continue to facilitate any collection or remittance of Occupancy Tax in any specific jurisdiction in which it may have been offered. RoomMappy reserves the right, in its sole determination, to cease any facilitation of any collection and remittance of Occupancy Tax (regardless of method used or to be used in the future) for any reason or no reason at all, provided that it will give Hosts reasonable notice in any jurisdiction in which RoomMappy determines to cease any such facilitation.

Damage to Accommodations

As a Guest, you are responsible for leaving the Accommodation in the condition it was in when you arrived. You acknowledge and agree that, as a Guest, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals whom you invite to, or otherwise provide access to, the Accommodation. In the event that a Host claims otherwise and provides evidence of damage, including but not limited to photographs, you agree to pay the cost of replacing the damaged items with equivalent items. After being notified of the claim and given forty eight (48) hours to respond, the payment will be charged to and taken from the credit card on file in your RoomMappy Account. RoomMappy also reserves the right to charge the credit card on file in your RoomMappy Account, or otherwise collect payment from you and pursue any avenues available to RoomMappy in this regard, including using Security Deposits, in situations in which you have been determined, in RoomMappy's sole discretion, to have damaged any Accommodation and in relation to any payments made by RoomMappy to Hosts. If we are unable to charge the credit card on file or otherwise collect payment from you, you agree to remit payment for any damage to the Accommodation to the applicable Host or to RoomMappy (if applicable).

Both Guests and Hosts agree to cooperate with and assist RoomMappy in good faith, and to provide RoomMappy with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by RoomMappy, in connection with any complaints or claims made by Members relating to Accommodations or any personal or other property located at an Accommodation or with respect to any investigation undertaken by RoomMappy or a representative of RoomMappy regarding use or abuse of the Site or the Services. If you are a Guest, upon RoomMappy's reasonable request, and to the extent you are reasonably able to do so, you agree to participate in mediation or similar resolution process with a Host.

If you are a Guest, you understand and agree that RoomMappy may make a claim under your homeowner's, renter's or other insurance policy related to any damage or loss that you may have caused or been responsible for or to an Accommodation or any personal or other property located at an Accommodation (including without limitation amounts paid by RoomMappy). You agree to cooperate with and assist RoomMappy in good faith, and to provide RoomMappy with such information as may be reasonably requested by RoomMappy, in order to make a claim under your homeowner's, renter's or other insurance policy, including, but not limited to, executing documents and taking such further acts as RoomMappy may reasonably request to assist RoomMappy in accomplishing the foregoing.

Overstaying without the Host's Consent

Guests agree that a confirmed reservation is merely a license granted by the Host to the Guest to enter and use the Listing for the limited duration of the confirmed reservation and in accordance with the Guest's agreement with the Host. Guests further agree to leave the Accommodation no later than the checkout time that the Host specifies in the Listing or such other time as mutually agreed upon between the Host and Guest. If a Guest stays past the agreed upon checkout time without the Host's consent, they no longer have a license to stay in the Listing and the Host is entitled to make the Guest leave. In addition, Guests agree that the Host can charge the Guest, for each 24 hour period that the Guest stays over the agreed period without the Host's consent, an additional nightly fee of two times the average nightly Accommodation Fee originally paid by the Guest to cover the inconvenience suffered by the Host, plus all applicable Service Fees, Taxes, and any legal expenses incurred by the Host to make the Guest leave (collectively, "Additional Sums"). Guests agree that RoomMappy Payments, in its role as limited collection agent for the Host, shall charge the Guest's credit card or other payment methods it has on file to collect these Additional Sums. In addition, RoomMappy Payments may recover any costs and expenses it incurs in collecting the Additional Sums by charging the Guest's credit card or other payment method on file.

Foreign Currency

RoomMappy's online platform facilitates bookings between Guests and Hosts who may prefer to pay and to receive payments in different currencies, which may require foreign currency conversions to accommodate these differing currency preferences. Although the RoomMappy platform allows users to view the price of Listings in a number of currencies, the currencies available for users to make and receive payments may be limited, and may not include the default currency in any given geographic location.

Each foreign currency conversion is processed at a foreign currency conversion rate. This rate generally refers to the amount of one currency that must be paid to buy a certain amount of another currency at a given time. For example, if it costs US$125.00 to buy €100.00, the currency conversion rate of US dollars to Euros would be 1.25, and the currency conversion rate from Euros to US dollars would be 0.8. Currency conversion rates will vary from time to time.

Key definitions

"Display Currency" means the currency in which users view Listing prices on the RoomMappy platform. Guests may choose and change the Display Currency in order to view the pricing for a Listing in a number of different supported currencies.

"Booking Currency" means the currency in which a Guest has to pay for his or her booking. At the time the Guest submits a booking request, the RoomMappy platform will select the Booking Currency, based on the Guest's country of origin and the payment methods available for that country. RoomMappy supports only a certain number of currencies as Booking Currencies. The Booking Currency for a booking may be different from the relevant Listing Currency.

"Listing Currency" means the currency in which a Listing's price is set. The Listing Currency is set by the Host.

"Payout Currency" means the currency in which a Host's payout will be paid to the Host. The Payout Currency is set by the Host.

"Base Exchange Rate" means a system-wide rate used by RoomMappy for foreign currency conversion that is in effect at the time the foreign currency conversion is processed, and does not include any fee or mark-up by RoomMappy. RoomMappy establishes the Base Exchange Rate using data from one or more third parties such as OANDA (http://www.oanda.com).

"Adjusted Exchange Rate" means a rate for foreign currency conversion that is calculated by adding a mark-up to the Base Exchange Rate. This mark-up represents a charge imposed by RoomMappy for its holding costs and foreign currency risks.

Foreign currency conversions on the RoomMappy platform

RoomMappy Payments will process a foreign currency conversion in the following situations:

The Display Currency is different from the Listing Currency when a user views a Listing: RoomMappy will calculate the estimated Total Fees in the Display Currency, by applying either the Base Exchange Rate or the Adjusted Exchange Rate at the time of the view to the estimated Total Fees in the Listing Currency. The Adjusted Exchange Rate will be applied if the Display Currency is a supported Booking Currency, and it is different from the Listing Currency. Otherwise, the Base Exchange Rate will be applied.
The Booking Currency is different from the Listing Currency when a Guest submits a booking request for a Listing: RoomMappy will calculate the Total Fees in the Booking Currency, by applying either the Base Exchange Rate or the Adjusted Exchange Rate at the time of the booking request to the Total Fees in the Listing Currency. The Guest will be able to view the actual exchange rate applied. The Guest Fee, which is a percentage of the applicable Accommodation Fees, will be calculated based on the Accommodation Fees in the Booking Currency (i.e. after conversion from the Listing Currency). The Adjusted Exchange Rate will be applied if the Display Currency is the same as the Booking Currency, and it is different from the Listing Currency for the Listing. Otherwise, the Base Exchange Rate will be applied.
The Payout Currency is different from the Listing Currency when RoomMappy initiates a payout: generally, RoomMappy will calculate the payout to the Host, by applying the Base Exchange Rate on the date that RoomMappy initiates the payout to the Accommodation Fees (less RoomMappy's Host Fees and any Taxes in respect of the Host Fees, such as VAT in Europe) in the Listing Currency. The Host will be able to view the actual exchange rate applied in his or her transaction history in the Site. In some cases where the payout method selected by the Host involves certain third-party payment processors (such as Western Union), (i) RoomMappy will send the payout amount to the processor in a major currency (e.g. US dollars), by applying the relevant Base Exchange Rate for the Listing Currency to that major currency, (ii) the Host will be able to view the payout amount sent by RoomMappy in that major currency in his or her transaction history in the Site, and (iii) the processor will calculate the actual payout to the Host by applying its own foreign currency conversion rate for that major currency to the Payout Currency.
When a confirmed booking is modified or cancelled, and there had been a foreign currency conversion when the booking was submitted: the foreign currency conversion for any additional payments required of the Guest or any refund to the Guest will be processed at the same rate as applied to the earlier payment by the Guest.

When you as a Guest submit a booking request for a Listing, you will be able to view the actual exchange rate used to calculate the Total Fees in the Booking Currency. Where the Adjusted Exchange Rate is applied, you will be able to view the mark-up included in the rate. The actual exchange rate (and any mark-up included in the rate) will also be stated in the billing receipt for your booking.

RoomMappy updates the Base Exchange Rate on a regular basis, but not on a real-time basis. In particular, RoomMappy does not always change the Base Exchange Rate immediately when its costs of foreign exchange change. Accordingly, the Base Exchange Rate may not be identical to the applicable market rate in effect at the specific time a foreign currency conversion is processed.

Please note that your payment company (for example, your credit or bank card issuer) will use a currency conversion rate for and may impose a currency conversion fee on your payment or payout, if your card or bank account is denominated in a currency that is different from the Booking Currency or the Payout Currency respectively. Similarly, third-party payment processors may also use a currency conversion rate for or impose a currency conversion fee on your payment or payout. All of these currency conversion rates and fees are not controlled by or known to RoomMappy.

We also require you to disclose how guests will be monitored and if an active recording is taking place. If a host discloses the device after booking, RoomMappy will allow the guests to cancel the reservation and receive a refund. Host cancelation penalties may apply.

RoomMappy has the right to investigate and prosecute violations of any of the above to the fullest extent of the law. In addition, you should ensure that your use of security cameras and other recording devices is consistent with applicable local laws and regulations.

We encourage you to discuss the use of security cameras and other recording devices by using RoomMappy's messaging feature.

Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between RoomMappy and you regarding the Site, Services, Collective Content, and any bookings or Listings of Accommodations made via the Site, and Services, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between RoomMappy and you regarding bookings or listings of Accommodations, the Site, Services, and Collective Content.

Controlling Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and your use of the Services will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. You and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in United States District Court for any actions for which the parties retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights, as set forth in the Dispute Resolution provision below.

Dispute Resolution

You and RoomMappy agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or to the use of the Services or use of the Site (collectively, "Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. You acknowledge and agree that you and RoomMappy are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and RoomMappy otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Dispute Resolution" section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this "Dispute Resolution" section will survive any termination of these Terms.

General

The failure of RoomMappy to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of RoomMappy. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. If for any reason an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

Third party beneficiary

These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the payment card networks are third party beneficiaries of these Terms for purposes of enforcing provisions related to payments, but that their consent or agreement is not necessary for any changes or modifications to these Terms.
