Scope of BookingPal Services
1. As the provider of the BookingPal Platform, we provide channel distribution, payment services, and related services for rental properties (“Listings”) as described in this document (our “Connectivity Services”). BookingPal does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Listings or Services to the Guest. You alone are responsible for your Listings and Services. When a reservation is completed on any distribution channel, for example Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, HomeAway, TripAdvisor, etc., (“Distribution Channel(s)”) you are entering into a contract directly with a Guest. BookingPal is not and does not become a party to, or other participant in, any contractual relationship between you and the Guest. BookingPal is not acting as an agent in any capacity for you or the Guest, except as specified in the Payments Terms.
2. While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, BookingPal has no control over and does not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Listings or Services, (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions, Ratings, Reviews, or other Content (as defined below), or (iii) the performance or conduct of any Guest, Distribution Channel(s) or third party.
3. To increase the exposure of Listings to potential Guests, Listings may be displayed on Distribution Channel(s) where BookingPal has direct contractual agreements (“BookingPal Affiliates”), in applications, within emails, and in online and offline advertisements. To assist Guests who speak different languages, Listings and other Content may be translated, in whole or in part, into other languages. BookingPal cannot guarantee the accuracy or quality of such translations and you are responsible for reviewing and verifying the accuracy of such translations.
4. Due to the nature of the Internet, BookingPal cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of the BookingPal Platform. BookingPal may restrict the availability of the BookingPal Platform or certain areas or features thereof, if this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of the BookingPal Platform. BookingPal may improve, enhance and modify the BookingPal Platform and introduce new BookingPal Services from time to time.

In order to access and use the BookingPal Platform or register a BookingPal Account, you must be an individual at least 18 years old or a duly organized, validly existing business, organization or other legal entity in good standing under the laws of the country you are established and able to enter into legally binding contracts.

The access to or use of certain areas and features of the BookingPal Platform may be subject to separate policies, standards or guidelines, or may require that you accept additional terms and conditions, before you can access the relevant areas or features of the BookingPal Platform.

If you disagree with the revised Terms, you may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect, but you must honor all existing bookings and associated financial obligations. If you do not terminate your Agreement before the date the revised Terms become effective, your continued access to or use of the BookingPal Platform will constitute acceptance of the revised Terms.
Account Registration

Specific examples include, but are not limited to, the following terms and conditions topics:
  1. Content (section 5): if the channel agreement stipulates certain content provisions, which are additive to the BookingPal provisions, then you must comply with those additional provisions. This language does not remove any BookingPal content provisions.

  3. Prohibited Activities (section 11): if the channel agreement stipulates certain compliance with local laws provisions, which are additive to the BookingPal provisions, then you must comply with those additional provisions. This language does not remove any BookingPal provisions.

  4. Term (section 12.1): if the channel agreement requires a longer term, then you cannot remove that channel from the Connectivity Services until the channel agreement is either terminated or expired.
  5. Disclaimers (section 13): if the channel agreement stipulates different disclaimers, which are independent to the BookingPal provisions, then you are bound to these additional provisions as well. This language does not remove any BookingPal provisions.
6. If new Distribution Channel(s) are made available by us and you are eligible to have the Collective Content distributed to that Distribution Channel(s) based on the parameters you selected at registration, we will automatically add that Distribution Channel(s) to your Account.
7. For clarity, we undertake no liability, and specifically disclaim all liability, for the acts or omissions of Distribution Channel(s), including their use of or failure to use the Collective Content.
Content
1. BookingPal may, at its sole discretion, enable you to (i) create, upload, post, send, receive and store content, such as text, photos, audio, video, or other materials and information on or through the BookingPal Platform (“Supplier Content“); and (ii) access and view Supplier Content and any content that BookingPal itself makes available on or through the BookingPal Platform, including proprietary BookingPal content and any content licensed or authorized for use by or through BookingPal from a third party (“BookingPal Content” and together with Supplier Content, “Collective Content“).

3. By creating, uploading, posting, sending, receiving, storing, or otherwise making available any Supplier Content on or through the BookingPal Platform, you grant to BookingPal a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual (or for the term of the protection), sub-licensable and transferable license to such Supplier Content to access, use, store, copy, modify, prepare derivative works of, distribute, publish, transmit, stream, broadcast, and otherwise exploit in any manner such Supplier Content to provide and/or promote the BookingPal Platform, in any media or platform. Unless you provide specific consent, BookingPal does not claim any ownership rights in any Supplier Content and nothing in these Terms will be deemed to restrict any rights that you may have to use or exploit your Supplier Content.

Transaction Fees
1. BookingPal may charge fees to you (“Supplier Fees“) and/or Guests (“Guest Fees“) (collectively, “Transaction Fees“) in consideration for your use of the BookingPal Platform.
2. BookingPal reserves the right to change the Transaction Fees at any time and will provide you adequate (at least 10 business days) notice of any fee changes before they become effective. Such fee changes will not affect any bookings made prior to the effective date of the fee change.

If you are utilizing the BookingPal Payment Service, then the applicable Transaction Fees, and any other selected vendor payouts that are collected by BookingPal will be deducted from the gross amount paid by the Guest before remitting the payout to you. If you collected the gross amount paid by the Guest, then BookingPal will invoice you and either automatically direct debit the Supplier Fees from your bank account or collect the Supplier Fees through other means (e.g. check, credit card, etc.). If you choose to pay the Supplier Fees with a credit card, an additional processing fee will be added to the invoice.

Even if BookingPal is connected to your Property Management Software (“PMS”) and we receive Listing Information from the PMS, these connections are not real-time and BookingPal does not control the schedule of updates or reliability of the PMS platform. You are responsible for keeping the Listing Information (including calendar availability) up to date at all times in the BookingPal Platform. If the Listing information is not up to date in the BookingPal Platform, which leads to a financial liability, it is the sole responsibility of you to resolve the financial liability with the Guest and/or Distribution Channel. BookingPal assumes no responsibility for resolving the issue and assumes no financial liability for the incorrect Listing Information.
2. You are solely responsible for setting a price (including any taxes if applicable, or fees such as cleaning fees) for your Listing (“Listing Price”). Once a Guest completes a booking of your Listing, you may not request that the Guest pays a higher price than in the booking request. Even if BookingPal is connected to your Property Management Software (“PMS”) and we receive a Listing Price from the PMS, these connections are not real-time and BookingPal does not control the schedule of updates or reliability of the PMS platform. You are responsible for keeping your Listing Price up to date at all times in the BookingPal Platform. If the Listing Price is not up to date in the BookingPal Platform, which leads to a financial liability, it is the sole responsibility of you to resolve the financial liability with the Guest and/or Distribution Channel. BookingPal assumes no responsibility for resolving the issue and assumes no financial liability for the incorrect Listing Price.
3. If the Distribution Channel(s), or any other party, recovers any financial liability related to section 7.1 or section 7.2, or for any other reason, directly from BookingPal, then BookingPal will be entitled to recover the amount of any such financial liability from you, including by subtracting such refund amount out from any future payouts due to you.
4. You represent and warrant that any property you publish and the booking of, or a Guest’s stay at, will (i) not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, such as homeowners association, condominium, or other agreements, and (ii) comply with all applicable laws (such as zoning laws), Tax requirements, and other rules and regulations (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations). 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 rental property at your request or invitation, excluding the Guest and any individuals the Guest invites to the rental property.
Booking Modifications, Cancellations and Refunds, Resolution Center
1. You agree to pay any additional Supplier Fees associated with Modifications.
2. Guests can cancel a confirmed booking at any time pursuant to the property cancellation policy, and, if BookingPal is providing a Payment Service i). BookingPal will refund the amount of the Listing Price due to the Guest in accordance with such cancellation policy, and ii). unless extenuating circumstances exist, any portion of the Listing Price due to you under the applicable cancellation policy will be remitted to you by BookingPal, pursuant to the Payments Terms.
3. In certain circumstances, if BookingPal is providing a Payment Service, BookingPal may decide, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary to cancel a confirmed booking and make appropriate refund and payout decisions. This may be for reasons where BookingPal believes in good faith, while taking the legitimate interests of both Guest and you into account, (i) this is necessary to avoid significant harm or financial loss to BookingPal, you, third parties or property, or (ii) for any of the reasons set out in these Terms.
4. If, as a Supplier, your Guest cancels a confirmed booking or BookingPal decides that it is necessary to cancel a confirmed booking, and BookingPal is providing a Payment Service, BookingPal issues a refund to the Guest in accordance with the applicable cancellation policy, you agree that in the event you have already been paid, BookingPal will be entitled to recover the amount of any such refund from you, including by subtracting such refund amount out from any future Payouts due to you.
Damage to Rental Property, Disputes between Guests and Suppliers
1. The Guest, not BookingPal, is responsible for leaving the rental property (including any personal or other property located at the rental property) in the condition it was in when they arrived. The Guest, not BookingPal, is responsible for their own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals whom they invite to, or otherwise provide access to, the rental property, excluding you (and the individuals you invite to the rental property, if applicable).
2. If a Guest damages the rental property and you do not have property damage insurance or a security deposit, then the only recourse for you is with the Distribution Channel(s) and/or the Guest, not BookingPal.
3. If a Guest disputes a charge for any reason and the Distribution Channel(s) decides to refund a Guest, then the only recourse for you is with the Distribution Channel(s), not BookingPal. If BookingPal is providing a Payment Service and the Distribution Channel(s) recovers the amount of any such refund from BookingPal, then BookingPal will be entitled to recover the amount of any such refund from you, including by subtracting such refund amount out from any future Payouts due to you.
Taxes
1. BookingPal is not responsible for taxes. You acknowledge and agree that neither BookingPal, nor Distribution Channel(s), unless expressly stated otherwise in the Distribution Channel(s) agreement, are responsible for paying or remitting any Taxes to tax authorities that are: (i) imposed directly on, or are the liability of, you pursuant to any Requirements of Law; or (ii) that are the responsibility of you to collect and remit to a tax authority pursuant to any requirements of law.

2. Value Added Tax & Similar Taxes. The amounts payable to BookingPal, under this Agreement will not be reduced by any Taxes. Therefore, in addition to making any payment (if applicable) to BookingPal, under this Agreement, Supplier will: (i) pay BookingPal, the amount of these Taxes due with respect to the payment; or (ii) if required or permitted by Legal Requirements, pay these Taxes directly to the relevant tax authority. If a reverse charge mechanism is available to you, you will promptly account for and pay these taxes in accordance with Legal Requirements.
3. Income Taxes. Each Party will pay income taxes imposed (including by withholding or other means) by any competent governmental authority on any income it receives under this Agreement.
4. Cooperation. The Parties will cooperate to more accurately determine and minimize, to the extent commercially reasonable, their respective liability for taxes. Each Party will provide tax information or documents regarding taxes reasonably requested by the other Party. Each Party will promptly notify the other of any claim for taxes asserted with respect to this Agreement or a rental property booked through the Distribution Channel(s) by a tax authority with jurisdiction over either Party. With respect to any claim arising out of a tax form or return signed by a Party to this Agreement, the signing Party will notify the other Party before taking action concerning the dispute with the tax authority, and, if requested by the other Party, cooperate with the other Party in preparing its response. The obligations of this Section will apply regardless of which Party is responsible for payment of such taxes.

Disclaimers
If you choose to use the BookingPal Platform or Collective Content, you do so voluntarily and at your sole risk. The BookingPal Platform and Collective Content is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, either express or implied.

You agree that you have had whatever opportunity you deem necessary to investigate the BookingPal Services, laws, rules, or regulations that may be applicable to your Listings and that you are not relying upon any statement of law or fact made by BookingPal relating to a Listing.

The foregoing disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. You may have other statutory rights. However, the duration of statutorily required warranties, if any, shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Liability
You acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the BookingPal Platform, your publishing of any Listing via the BookingPal Platform, remains with you. Neither BookingPal nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the BookingPal Platform will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute products or services, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with (i) these Terms, (ii) from the use of or inability to use the BookingPal Platform, (iii) from any communications, interactions or meetings with other persons with whom you communicate, interact or meet with as a result of your use of the BookingPal Platform, or (iv) from your publishing of a Listing, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not BookingPal has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Except for our obligations to pay amounts to you pursuant to these Terms, in no event will BookingPal’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms and your use of the BookingPal Platform including, but not limited to, from your publishing of any Listings via the BookingPal Platform, or from the use of or inability to use the BookingPal Platform, exceed the Transaction Fees you have paid for a booking via the BookingPal Platform as a Supplier that has given rise to the liability, or one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100), if no such payments have been made, as applicable. The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between BookingPal and you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. If you reside outside of the U.S., this does not affect BookingPal’s liability for death or personal injury arising from its negligence, nor for fraudulent misrepresentation, misrepresentation as to a fundamental matter or any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to release, defend (at Bookingpal’s option), indemnify, and hold BookingPal and its affiliates and subsidiaries, including but not limited to their officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your breach of these Terms or our Policies or Standards, (ii) your improper use of the BookingPal Platform, (iii) your breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights.

Indemnification Procedure. A party seeking indemnification from the other will (i) promptly notify the other in writing of the Claim; (ii) reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in resolution of the Claim, at the indemnifying party’s expense. In addition, the indemnifying party will have sole control over the defense and settlement of any Claim, except that it may not enter into any final settlement agreement or consent to the entry of any final judgment without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (which will not unreasonably be withheld, delayed or conditioned). In addition, the indemnified party’s failure to comply with its obligations under (i) and (ii) of this section will only excuse the indemnifying party from its indemnification obligations to the extent it is prejudiced by the delay.
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement
1. This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement shall apply if your (i) country of residence or establishment is in the United States; or (ii) your country of residence or establishment is not in the United States but bring any claim against BookingPal in the United States (to the extent not in conflict with Section 18).
2. Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. BookingPal is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a wo-part process for individuals to whom Section 16.1 applies: (1) an informal negotiation directly with BookingPal’s customer service team, and (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) using its specially designed Consumer Arbitration Rules (as modified by this Section 16 and except as provided in Section 19.6). Specifically, the Consumer Arbitration Rules provide:
  - Claims can be filed with AAA online (www.adr.org);
  - Arbitrators must be neutral, and no party may unilaterally select an arbitrator;
  - Arbitrators must disclose any bias, interest in the result of the arbitration, or relationship with any party;
  - Parties retain the right to seek relief in small claims court for certain claims, at their option;
  - The initial filing fee for the consumer is capped at $200;
  - The consumer gets to elect the hearing location and can elect to participate live, by phone, video conference, or, for claims under $25,000, by the submission of documents;
  - The arbitrator can grant any remedy that the parties could have received in court to resolve the party’s individual claim.
3. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and BookingPal each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact BookingPal’s customer service team by emailing us at support@bookingpal.com. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the AAA and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA Rules.
4. Agreement to Arbitrate. You and BookingPal mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or to the use of the BookingPal Platform (“Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and BookingPal agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.
5. Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and BookingPal each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) Any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) Any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack).
6. Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1–800–778–7879.
7. Modification to AAA Rules – Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, BookingPal agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option, (a) in Orange County, CA; (b) in any other location to which you and BookingPal both agree; (d) via phone or video conference; or (c) for any claim or counterclaim under $5,000, by solely the submission of documents to the arbitrator.
8. Modification of AAA Rules – Attorney’s Fees and Costs. You and BookingPal agree that BookingPal will be responsible for payment of the balance of any initial filing fee under the AAA Rules in excess of $1,000 for claims of $1,000 or less. You may be entitled to seek an award of attorney fees and expenses if you prevail in arbitration, to the extent provided under applicable law and the AAA rules.
9. Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.
10. Jury Trial Waiver. You and BookingPal acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.
11. No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and BookingPal acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless you and BookingPal both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If the “class action lawsuit” waiver or the “class-wide arbitration” waiver in this Section 16.11 is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute and the Dispute must proceed in court. If the “private attorney general action” waiver or the “representative proceeding” waiver in this Section 16.11 is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, those waivers may be severed from this Arbitration Agreement and you and BookingPal agree that any private attorney general claims and representative claims in the Dispute will be severed and stayed, pending the resolution of any arbitrable claims in the Dispute in individual arbitration.
12. Severability. Except as provided in Section 16.11, if any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and he remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.
13. Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 (“Modification of these Terms”), if BookingPal changes this Section 16 (“Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement”) after the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email) within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of BookingPal’s email to you notifying you of such change. Rejecting a new change, however, does not revoke or alter your prior consent to any earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between you and BookingPal (or your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain in effect and enforceable as to any Dispute between you and BookingPal.
14. Survival. Except as provided in Section 16.13 and subject to Section 12.8, this Section 16 will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the BookingPal Platform or terminate your BookingPal Account.

1. If your country of residence or establishment is the United States, these Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California and the United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions.

4. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be struck and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
5. BookingPal’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing. 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 permitted under law.
6. You may not assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement and your rights and obligations hereunder without BookingPal’s prior written consent.
