Guest Terms
01
Searching and Booking on IdealHub
1.1
Searching
You can search for Host Services by using criteria like the type of Host Service, location, check-in/move-in dates, and number of guests/tenant. You can also use filters to refine your search results. Search results are based on their relevance to your search and other criteria. Relevance considers factors like price, availability, reviews, customer service and cancellation history, popularity, previous trips and saved Listings, Host requirements (e.g. minimum or maximum nights), and more.
1.2
Booking
When you book a Listing, you are agreeing to pay all charges for your booking including the Listing price, applicable fees like IdealHub's service fee, offline fees, taxes, and any other items identified during checkout (collectively, “Total Price”). You are also agreeing that IdealHub Payments may charge and collect any security deposit identified during checkout. When you receive the booking confirmation, a contract for Host Services (sometimes called a reservation in these Terms) is formed directly between you and the Host. The cancellation policy and any other rules, standards, policies, or requirements identified in the Listing or during checkout form part of your contract with the Host. Be aware that some Hosts work with a co-host or as part of a team to provide their Host Services.
1.3
Accommodation Reservations
An Accommodation reservation is a limited license to enter, occupy, and use the Accommodation. The Host retains the right to re-enter the Accommodation during your stay, to the extent: (i) it is reasonably necessary, (ii) permitted by your contract with the Host, and (iii) consistent with applicable law. If you stay past checkout, the Host has the right to make you leave in a manner consistent with applicable law, including by imposing reasonable overstay penalties. You may not exceed the maximum number of allowed Guests. If you booked a listing that is managed by IdealHub, you are subject to IdealHub Accommodation Policy.
1.4
Reservations for Other Host Services
Another Host Service reservation entitles you to participate in, attend, or use that Host Service. You are responsible for confirming that you, and anyone you invite, meet minimum age, proficiency, fitness, or other requirements. You are responsible for informing the Host of any medical or physical conditions, or other circumstances that may impact your ability to participate, attend, or use the Host Service. Except where expressly authorized, you may not allow any person to join a Host Service unless they are included as an additional guest during the booking process.
02
Cancellations, Travel Issues, Refunds and Booking Modifications
2.1
Cancellations, Travel Issues, and Refunds
In general, if as a Guest you cancel a reservation, the amount refunded to you is determined by the cancellation policy that applies to that reservation. But, in certain situations, other policies take precedence and determine what amount is refunded to you. If the Host cancels, or you experience a Travel Issue (as defined in our Guest Refund Policy), you may be eligible for rebooking assistance or a partial or full refund under the Refund Policy. Different policies apply to certain categories of Listings.
2.2
Booking Modifications
Guests and Hosts are responsible for any booking modifications they agree to make via the IdealHub Platform or direct IdealHub customer service to make on their behalf ("Booking Modifications"), and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees, or taxes associated with any Booking Modification.
03
Your Responsibilities and Assumption of Risk
3.1
Your Responsibilities
You are responsible and liable for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you invite to join or provide access to any Accommodation or other Host Service. For example, this means: (i) you are responsible for leaving an Accommodation (and related personal property) in the condition it was in when you arrived, and (ii) you must act with integrity, treat others with respect, and comply with applicable laws at all times. If you are booking for an additional guest who is a minor or if you bring a minor to a Host Service, you must be legally authorized to act on behalf of the minor and you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor.
3.2
Your Assumption of Risk
You acknowledge that many activities carry inherent risks and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the IdealHub Platform and any Content , including your stay at any Accommodation use of any other Host Service, or any other interaction you have with other Members whether in person or online. This means it is your responsibility to investigate a Host Service to determine whether it is suitable for you. For example, Host Services may carry risk of illness, bodily injury, disability, or death, and you freely and willfully assume those risks by choosing to participate in those Host Services.**
Host Terms
04
Hosting on IdealHub
5.1
Host
As a Host, IdealHub offers you the opportunity to share your Accommodation, or other Host Service with our vibrant community of Guests - and earn money doing it. It’s easy to create a Listing and you are in control of how you host - set your price, availability, and rules for each Listing.
5.2
Contracting with Guests
When you accept a booking request, or receive a booking confirmation through the IdealHub Platform, you are entering into a contract directly with the Guest, and are responsible for delivering your Host Service under the terms and at the price specified in your Listing. You are also agreeing to pay applicable fees like IdealHub’s service fee (and applicable taxes) for each booking. IdealHub Payments will deduct amounts you owe from your payout unless we and you agree to a different method. Any terms, policies or conditions that you include in any supplemental contract with Guests must: (i) be consistent with these Terms, our Policies, and the information provided in your Listing, and (ii) be prominently disclosed in your Listing description.
5.3
Independence of Hosts
Your relationship with IdealHub is that of an independent individual or entity and not an employee, agent, joint venturer, or partner of IdealHub, except that IdealHub Payments acts as a payment collection agent as described in the Payments Terms. IdealHub does not direct or control your Host Service, and you agree that you have complete discretion whether and when to provide Host Services, and at what price and on what terms to offer them.
05
Managing Your Listing
5.1
Creating and Managing Your Listing
The IdealHub Platform provides tools that make it easy for you to set up and manage a Listing. Your Listing must include complete and accurate information about your Host Service, your price, other charges like cleaning fees, security deposits, and any rules or requirements that apply to your Guests or Listing. You are responsible for keeping your Listing information (including calendar availability) and content (like photos) up-to-date and accurate at all times. We recommend that you obtain appropriate insurance for your Host Services and suggest you carefully review policy terms and conditions including coverage details and exclusions. You may only maintain one Listing per Accommodation, but may have multiple Listings for a single property if it has multiple places to stay.
5.2
Know Your Legal Obligations
You are responsible for understanding and complying with any laws, rules, regulations, and contracts with third parties that apply to your Listing or Host Services. For example: Some landlords and leases, or homeowner and condominium association rules, restrict or prohibit subletting, short-term rentals and/or longer-term stays. Some cities have zoning or other laws that restrict the short-term rental of residential properties. Some jurisdictions require Hosts to register, get a permit, or obtain a license before providing certain Host Services (such as short-term rentals, longer-term stays, preparing food, serving alcohol for sale, guiding tours, or operating a vehicle). In some places, the Host Services you want to offer may be prohibited altogether. Some jurisdictions require that you register Guests who stay at your Accommodation. Some jurisdictions have laws that create tenancy rights for Guests and additional obligations for Hosts. For example, some places have landlord-tenant, rent control, and eviction laws that may apply to longer stays. Check your local rules to learn what rules apply to the Host Services you plan to offer. Information we provide regarding legal requirements is for informational purposes only and you should independently confirm your obligations. You are responsible for handling and using personal data of Guests and others in compliance with applicable privacy laws and these Terms, including our Host Privacy Standards. If you have questions about how local laws apply you should always seek legal advice.
5.3
Search Ranking
The ranking of Listings in search results on the IdealHub Platform depends on a variety of factors, including these main parameters:
Guest search parameters (e.g. number of Guests, time and duration of the trip, price range), Listing characteristics (e.g. price, calendar availability, number and quality of images, Reviews, type of Host Service, Host status, age of the Listing, average Guest popularity), Guest booking experience (e.g. customer service and cancellation history of the Host, ease of booking), Host requirements (e.g. minimum or maximum nights, booking cut-off time), and Guest preferences (e.g. previous trips, saved Listings, location from where the Guest is searching). Search results may appear different on our mobile application than they appear on our website. IdealHub may allow Hosts to promote their Listings in search or elsewhere on the IdealHub Platform by paying an additional fee.
5.4
Your Responsibilities
You are responsible and liable for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you allow to participate in providing your Host Services. You are responsible for setting your price and establishing rules and requirements for your Listing. You must describe any and all fees and charges in your Listing description and may not collect any additional fees or charges outside the IdealHub Platform except those expressly authorized by our Offline Fee Policy. Do not encourage Guests to create third-party accounts, submit reviews, provide their contact information, or take other actions outside the IdealHub Platform in violation of our Off-Platform Policy.
5.5
Hosting as a Team or Organization
If you work with a co-host or host as part of a team, business, or other organization, the entity and each individual who participates in providing Host Services is responsible and liable as a Host under these Terms. If you accept terms or enter into contracts, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to enter into contracts for and bind your team, business or other organization, and that each entity you use is in good standing under the laws of the place where it is established. If you perform other functions, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to perform those functions. If you instruct IdealHub to transfer a portion of your payout to a co-host or other Hosts, or to send payments to someone else, you must be authorized to do so, and are responsible and liable for the payment amounts and accuracy of any payout information you provide.
5.6
Your Assumption of Risk
You acknowledge that hosting carries inherent risks and agree that you assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the IdealHub Platform, offering Host Services, or any interaction you have with other Members whether in person or online. You agree that you have had the opportunity to investigate the IdealHub Platform and any laws, rules, regulations, or obligations that may be applicable to your Listings or Host Services and that you are not relying upon any statement of law made by IdealHub.
06
Cancellations, Travel Issues, and Booking Modifications
6.1
Cancellations and Travel Issues
In general, if a Guest cancels a reservation, the amount paid to you is determined by the cancellation policy that applies to that reservation. As a host, you should not cancel on a Guest without a valid reason under our Extenuating Circumstances Policy or applicable law. If you cancel on a Guest without such a valid reason, we may impose a cancellation fee and other consequences. If: (i) a Guest experiences a Travel Issue (as defined by the Guest Refund Policy), (ii) an Extenuating Circumstance arises, or (iii) a reservation is cancelled under Section 13 of these Terms, the amount you are paid will be reduced by the amount we refund or otherwise provide to the Guest, and by any other reasonable costs we incur as a result of the cancellation. If a Guest receives a refund after you have already been paid, or the amount of the refund and other costs incurred by IdealHub exceeds your payout, IdealHub (via IdealHub Payments) may recover that amount from you, including by offsetting the refund against your future payouts. You agree that IdealHub's Guest Refund Policy, Extenuating Circumstances Policy, and these Terms preempt the cancellation policy you set in situations where they allow for the cancellation of a reservation and/or the issuance of refunds to Guests. If we reasonably expect to provide a refund to a Guest under one of these policies, we may delay release of any payout for that reservation until a refund decision is made.
6.2
Booking Modifications
Hosts and Guests are responsible for any Booking Modifications they agree to make via the Idealhub Platform or direct IdealHub customer service to make on their behalf, and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees or taxes associated with a Booking Modification.
07
Taxes
7.1
Host Taxes
As a host, you are responsible for determining and fulfilling your obligations under applicable laws to report, collect, remit, or include in your price any applicable VAT or other indirect taxes, occupancy taxes, tourist, income, or other taxes ("Taxes").
7.2
Collection and Remittance by IdealHub
In jurisdictions where IdealHub facilitates the collection and/or remittance of Taxes on behalf of Hosts, you instruct and authorize IdealHub to collect Taxes on your behalf, and/or to remit such Taxes to the relevant Tax authority. Any Taxes that are collected and/or remitted by IdealHub are identified to Members on their transaction records, as applicable. IdealHub may seek additional amounts from Members (including by deducting such amounts from future payouts) in the event that the Taxes collected and/or remitted are insufficient to fully discharge that Members’ tax obligations, and you agree that your sole remedy for Taxes collected by IdealHub is a refund from the applicable Tax authority. You acknowledge and agree that we retain the right, with prior notice to affected Members, to cease the collection and remittance of Taxes in any jurisdiction for any reason.
7.3
Tax Information
In certain jurisdictions, Tax regulations may require that we collect and/or report Tax information about you, or withhold Taxes from payouts to you, or both. If you fail to provide us with documentation that we determine to be sufficient to support any such obligation to withhold Taxes from payouts to you, we may withhold payouts up to the amount as required by law, until sufficient documentation is provided. You agree that IdealHub may issue on your behalf invoices or similar documentation for VAT, GST, consumption or other Taxes for your Host Services to facilitate accurate tax reporting by you, our Guests, and/or their organizations.
General Terms
08
Reviews
After each Host Service, Guests and Hosts will have an opportunity to review each other. Your Review must be accurate and may not contain any discriminatory, offensive, defamatory, or other language that violates our Content Policy or Review Policy. Reviews are not verified by IdealHub for accuracy and may be incorrect or misleading.
09
Content
Parts of the IdealHub Platform enable you to provide feedback, text, photos, audio, video, information, and other content (collectively, “Content”). By providing Content, in whatever form and through whatever means, you grant IdealHub a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, sub-licensable and transferable license to copy, modify, prepare derivative works of, distribute, publish and otherwise exploit, that Content, without limitation. If Content includes personal information, our Privacy Policy describes how we use that personal information. Where IdealHub pays for the creation of Content or facilitates its creation, IdealHub may own that Content, in which case supplemental terms or disclosures will say that. You are solely responsible for all Content that you provide and warrant that you either own it or are authorized to grant IdealHub the rights described in these Terms. You are responsible and liable if any of your Content violates or infringes the intellectual property or privacy rights of any third party. Content must comply with our Content Policy and Nondiscrimination Policy, which prohibit, among other things, discriminatory, obscene, harassing, deceptive, violent, and illegal content. You agree that IdealHub may make available services or automated tools to translate Content and that your Content may be translated using such services or tools. IdealHub does not guarantee the accuracy or quality of translations and Members are responsible for confirming the accuracy of such translations.
10
Fees
IdealHub may charge fees (and applicable Taxes) to Hosts and Guests/Tenant for use of the IdealHub Platform. More information about when service fees apply and how they are calculated can be found on our Service Fees page. Except as otherwise provided on the IdealHub Platform, service fees are non-refundable. IdealHub reserves the right to change the service fees at any time, and will provide Members notice of any fee changes before they become effective.

IdealHub’s Role
We offer a platform that enables Members to publish, offer, search for, and book Host Services.

You acknowledge that IdealHub has the right, but does not have any obligation, to monitor the use of the IdealHub Platform and verify information provided by our Members. For example, we may review, disable access to, remove, or edit Content to: (i) operate, secure and improve the IdealHub Platform (including for fraud prevention, risk assessment, investigation and customer support purposes); (ii) ensure Members’ compliance with these Terms; (iii) comply with applicable law or the order or requirement of a court, law enforcement or other administrative agency or governmental body; (iv) address Content that we determine is harmful or objectionable; (v) take actions set out in these Terms; and (vi) maintain and enforce any quality or eligibility criteria, including by removing Listings that don’t meet quality and eligibility criteria.

Members agree to cooperate with and assist IdealHub in good faith, and to provide IdealHub with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by IdealHub with respect to any investigation undertaken by IdealHub regarding the use or abuse of the IdealHub Platform. IdealHub is not acting as an agent for any Member except for where IdealHub Payments acts as a collection agent as provided in the Payments Terms.

The disclaimers in these Terms apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. If you have statutory rights or warranties we cannot disclaim, the duration of any such statutorily required rights or warranties, will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
