1 Scope of IBooked.online Services

1.1 The IBooked.online Platform is an online platform  that enables registered users (“Members”) and certain third parties who offer services (Members and third parties who offer services are “Hosts” and the services they offer are “Host Services”) to publish such Host Services on the IBooked.online Platform (“Listings”) and to communicate and transact directly with Members that are seeking to book such Host Services (Members using Host Services are “Guests”). Host Services may include the offering of vacation or other properties for use (“Accommodations“), single or multi-day activities in various categories (“Experiences”), access to unique events and locations (“Events”), and a variety of other travel and non-travel related services.

1.2 As the provider of the IBooked.online Platform, IBooked.online does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Listings or Host Services, nor is IBooked.online an organizer or retailer of travel packages under Directive (EU) 2015/2302. Hosts alone are responsible for their Listings and Host Services. When Members make or accept a booking, they are entering into a contract directly with each other. IBooked.online is not and does not become a party to or other participants in any contractual relationship between Members, nor is IBooked.online a real estate broker or insurer. IBooked.online is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member.

1.3 While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, IBooked.online has no control over and does not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Listings or Host Services, (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions, Ratings, Reviews, or other Member Content (as defined below), or (iii) the performance or conduct of any Member or third party. IBooked.online does not endorse any Member, Listing or Host Services. You should always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to stay in an Accommodation, participate in an Experience or Event or use other Host Services, accept a booking request from a Guest, or communicate and interact with other Members, whether online or in person. Verified Images (as defined below) are intended only to indicate a photographic representation of a Listing at the time the photograph was taken, and are therefore not an endorsement by IBooked.online of any Host or Listing.

1.4 If you choose to use the IBooked.online Platform as a Host or Co-Host (as defined below), your relationship with IBooked.online is limited to being an independent, third-party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of IBooked.online for any reason, and you act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of IBooked.online. IBooked.online does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control you generally or in your performance under these Terms specifically, including in connection with your provision of the Host Services. You acknowledge and agree that you have complete discretion whether to list Host Services or otherwise engage in other business or employment activities.

1.5 To promote the IBooked.online Platform and to increase the exposure of Listings to potential Guests, Listings and other Member Content may be displayed on other websites, in applications, within emails, and in online and offline advertisements. To assist Members who speak different languages, Listings and other Member Content may be translated, in whole or in part, into other languages. IBooked.online cannot guarantee the accuracy or quality of such translations and Members are responsible for reviewing and verifying the accuracy of such translations. The IBooked.online Platform may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties for merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

1.6 The IBooked.online Platform may contain links to third-party websites or resources (“Third-Party Services”). Such Third-Party Services may be subject to different terms and conditions and privacy practices. IBooked.online is not responsible or liable for the availability or accuracy of such Third-Party Services, or the content, products, or services available from such Third-Party Services. Links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by IBooked.online of such Third-Party Services.

1.7 Due to the nature of the Internet, IBooked.online cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of the IBooked.online Platform. IBooked.online may restrict the availability of the IBooked.online 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 IBooked.online Platform. IBooked.online may improve, enhance and modify the IBooked.online Platform and introduce new IBooked.online Services from time to time.

If there is a conflict between these Terms and terms and conditions applicable to a specific area or feature of the IBooked.online Platform, the latter terms and conditions will take precedence with respect to your access to or use of that area or feature, unless specified otherwise in the latter terms and conditions.

3 Modification of these Terms

IBooked.online reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time in accordance with this provision. If we make changes to these Terms, we will post the revised Terms on the IBooked.online Platform and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms.

If you disagree with the revised Terms, you may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect. We will inform you about your right to terminate the Agreement in the notification email. If you do not terminate your Agreement before the date the revised Terms become effective, your continued access to or use of the IBooked.online Platform will constitute acceptance of the revised Terms.

All applicable fees, including the Listing Fee, Security Deposit (if applicable), Guest Fee and any applicable Taxes (collectively, “Total Fees”) will be presented to you prior to booking a Listing. You agree to pay the Total Fees for any booking requested in connection with your IBooked.online Account.

8.1.2 Upon receipt of a booking confirmation from IBooked.online, a legally binding agreement is formed between you and your Host, subject to any additional terms and conditions of the Host that apply, including in particular the applicable cancellation policy and any rules and restrictions specified in the Listing. IBooked.online Payments will collect the Total Fees at the time of the booking request or upon the Host’s confirmation. For certain bookings, Guests may be required to pay or have the option to pay in multiple installments.

8.1.3 If you book a Host Service on behalf of additional guests, you are required to ensure that every additional guest meets any requirements set by the Host, and is made aware of and agrees to these Terms and any terms and conditions, rules and restrictions set by the Host.

Minors may only participate in an Experience, Event or other Host Service if accompanied by an adult who is responsible for them.

8.2 Booking Accommodations

8.2.1 You understand that a confirmed booking of an Accommodation (“Accommodation Booking”) is a limited license granted to you by the Host to enter, occupy and use the Accommodation for the duration of your stay, during which time the Host (only where and to the extent permitted by applicable law) retains the right to re-enter the Accommodation, in accordance with your agreement with the Host.

8.2.2 You 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 you and the Host. If you stay past the agreed upon checkout time without the Host’s consent (“Overstay”), you no longer have a license to stay in the Accommodation and the Host is entitled to make you leave in a manner consistent with applicable law. In addition, you agree to pay, if requested by the Host, for each twenty-four (24) hour period (or any portion thereof) that you Overstay, an additional nightly fee of up to two (2) times the average nightly Listing Fee originally paid by you to cover the inconvenience suffered by the Host, plus all applicable Guest Fees, Taxes, and any legal expenses incurred by the Host to make you leave (collectively, “Overstay Fees“). Overstay Fees for late checkouts on the checkout date that do not impact upcoming bookings may be limited to the additional costs incurred by the Host as a result of such Overstay. If you Overstay at an Accommodation, you authorize IBooked.online (via IBooked.online Payments) to charge you to collect Overstay Fees. A Security Deposit, if required by a Host, may be applied to any Overstay Fees due for a Guest’s Overstay.

8.3 Booking Experiences, Events and other Host Services

8.3.1 You should carefully review the description of any Experience, Event or other Host Service you intend to book to ensure you (and any additional guests you are booking for) meet any minimum age, proficiency, fitness or other requirements which the Host has specified in their Listing. At your sole discretion you may want to inform the Host of any medical or physical conditions, or other circumstances that may impact your and any additional guest’s ability to participate in any Experience, Event or other Host Service. In addition, certain laws, like the minimum legal drinking age in the location of the Experience, Event or other Host Service, may also apply. You are responsible for identifying, understanding, and complying with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to your participation in an Experience, Event or other Host Service.

8.3.2 Before and during an Experience, Event or other Host Service you must at all times adhere to the Hosts’ instructions.

9 Booking Modifications, Cancellations and Refunds, Resolution Center

9.1 Hosts and Guests are responsible for any modifications to a booking that they make via the IBooked.online Platform or direct IBooked.online customer service to make (“Booking Modifications“), and agree to pay any additional Listing Fees, Host Fees or Guest Fees and/or Taxes associated with such Booking Modifications.

9.2 Guests can cancel a confirmed booking at any time pursuant to the Listing’s cancellation policy as set by the Host, and IBooked.online Payments will refund the amount of the Total Fees due to the Guest in accordance with such cancellation policy. Unless extenuating circumstances exist, any portion of the Total Fees due to the Host under the applicable cancellation policy will be remitted to the Host by IBooked.online Payments.

9.3 If a Host cancels a confirmed booking, the Guest will receive a full refund of the Total Fees for such booking. In some instances, IBooked.online may allow the Guest to apply the refund to a new booking, in which case IBooked.online Payments will credit the amount against the Guest’s subsequent booking at the Guest’s direction. Further, IBooked.online may publish an automated review on the Listing cancelled by the Host indicating that a booking was cancelled. In addition, IBooked.online may (i) keep the calendar for the Listing unavailable or blocked for the dates of the cancelled booking, and/or (ii) impose a cancellation fee, unless the Host has a valid reason for cancelling the booking pursuant to extenuating circumstances or has legitimate concerns about the Guest’s behavior.

9.4 For Experiences, Events and other Host Services, if weather poses a safety risk to Guests, or if it prevents a Host from carrying out a Host Service that takes place primarily outdoors, Hosts may cancel the Host Service. Hosts may also cancel the Host Service if other conditions exist that would prevent the Host from offering the Host Service safely.

9.5 In certain circumstances, IBooked.online may decide, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary to cancel a pending or confirmed booking and initiate corresponding refunds and payouts. This may be for extenuating circumstances or (i) where IBooked.online believes in good faith, while taking the legitimate interests of both parties into account, this is necessary to avoid significant harm to IBooked.online, other Members, third parties or property, or (ii) for any of the reasons set out in these Terms.

9.6 If a Guest who books an Accommodation suffers a Travel Issue, IBooked.online may determine, in its sole discretion, to refund the Guest part or all of the Total Fees in accordance with the Guest Refund Policy. If a Guest who books an Experience, Event or other Host Service suffers a Travel Issue, IBooked.online may determine, in its sole discretion, to refund the Guest part or all of the Total Fees in accordance with the Experiences Guest Refund Policy.

9.7 If a Guest or IBooked.online cancels a confirmed booking, and the Guest receives a refund, after the Host has already been paid, IBooked.online Payments will be entitled to recover the amount of any such refund from the Host, including by subtracting such refund amount out from any future Payouts due to the Host.

9.8 Except as otherwise set out in these Terms, Members may email [email protected] to send or request money for refunds, additional Host Services related to bookings. You agree to pay all amounts sent through the [email protected]  in connection with your IBooked.online Account, and IBooked.online Payments will handle all such payments.

10 Ratings and Reviews

10.1 Within a certain timeframe after completing a booking, Guests and Hosts can leave a public review (“Review”) and submit a star rating (“Rating”) about each other. Ratings or Reviews reflect the opinions of individual Members and do not reflect the opinion of IBooked.online. Ratings and Reviews are not verified by IBooked.online for accuracy and may be incorrect or misleading.

10.2 Ratings and Reviews by Guests and Hosts must be accurate and may not contain any offensive or defamatory language.

10.3 Members are prohibited from manipulating the Ratings and Reviews system in any manner, such as instructing a third party to write a positive or negative Review about another Member.

11 Damage to Accommodations, Disputes between Members

11.1 As a Guest, you are responsible for leaving the Accommodation (including any personal or other property located at the Accommodation) in the condition it was in when you arrived. 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, excluding the Host (and the individuals the Host invites to the Accommodation, if applicable).

11.2 If a Host claims and provides evidence that you as a Guest have damaged an Accommodation or any personal or other property at an Accommodation (“Damage Claim“), the Host can seek payment from you. If a Host escalates a Damage Claim to IBooked.online, you will be given an opportunity to respond. If you agree to pay the Host, or IBooked.online determines in its sole discretion that you are responsible for the Damage Claim, IBooked.online via IBooked.online Payments will, after the end of your stay, collect any such sums from you and/or against the Security Deposit (if applicable) required to cover the Damage Claim. IBooked.online also reserves the right to otherwise collect payment from you and pursue any remedies available to IBooked.online in this regard in situations in which you are responsible for a Damage Claim, including, but not limited to, in relation to any payment requests made by Hosts.

11.3 Members agree to cooperate with and assist the host in good faith, and to provide the host with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by the host in connection with any Damage Claims or other complaints or claims made by Members relating to (i) Accommodations or any personal or other property located at an Accommodation (ii) Experiences, (iii) Co-Host agreements, or (iv) a Group Payment Booking. A Member shall, upon the hosts reasonable request and at no cost to the Member, participate in mediation or a similar resolution process with another Member, which process will be conducted by the host or a third party selected by the host or its insurer, with respect to losses for which a Member is requesting payment from the host.

11.4 If you are a Guest or a Co-Host, you understand and agree that IBooked.online 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, to any personal or other property (including an Accommodation) of the Host. You agree to cooperate with and assist IBooked.online in good faith, and to provide IBooked.online with such information as may be reasonably requested by IBooked.online, 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 IBooked.online may reasonably request to assist IBooked.online in accomplishing the foregoing.

12 Rounding off

IBooked.online generally supports payment amounts that are payable from or to Guests or Hosts to the smallest unit supported by a given currency (i.e., U.S. cents, Euro cents or other supported currencies). Where IBooked.online’s third-party payment services provider does not support payments in the smaller unit supported by a given currency, IBooked.online may, in its sole discretion, round up or round down the displayed amounts that are payable from or to Guests or Hosts to the nearest whole functional base unit in which the currency is denominated (i.e. to the nearest dollar, Euro or other supported currency); for example, IBooked.online may round up an amount of $101.50 to $102.00, and round down an amount of $101.49 to $101.00.

13 Taxes

13.1 As a Host you are solely responsible for determining your obligations to report, collect, remit or include in your Listing Fees any applicable taxes or other indirect sales taxes, occupancy tax, tourist or other visitor taxes or income taxes (“Taxes“).

13.2 Tax regulations may require us to collect appropriate Tax information from Hosts, or to withhold Taxes from payouts to Hosts, or both. If a Host fails to provide us with the required documentation under applicable law (e.g., a tax number) that we determine to be sufficient to alleviate our obligation (if any) to withhold Taxes from payouts to you, we reserve the right to withhold payouts up to the tax-relevant amount as required by law, until resolution.

13.3 You understand that any appropriate governmental agency, department and/or authority (“Tax Authority“) where your Accommodation is located may require Taxes to be collected from Guests or Hosts on Listing Fees, 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 Listing Fees set by Hosts, a set amount per day, or other variations, and are sometimes called “transient occupancy taxes,” “hotel taxes,” “lodging taxes,” “city taxes,” “room taxes” or “tourist taxes” (“Occupancy Taxes“).

13.4 In certain jurisdictions, IBooked.online 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 these Terms (“Collection and Remittance“) if such jurisdiction asserts IBooked.online or Hosts have an Occupancy Tax collection and remittance obligation. In any jurisdiction in which we decide to facilitate direct Collection and Remittance, you hereby instruct and authorize IBooked.online (via IBooked.online Payments) to collect Occupancy Taxes from Guests on the Host’s behalf at the time Listing Fees are collected, and to remit such Occupancy Taxes to the Tax Authority. In other jurisdictions IBooked.online may decide in its sole discretion to collect Occupancy Taxes and remit such Taxes to eligible and qualifying Hosts, based on tax information supplied by the Host, for ultimate reporting and remittance by such Host to the Tax Authority (“Pass-Through Tax Feature”). Such Hosts using the Pass-Through Tax Feature will be solely responsible for informing IBooked.online about the correct Occupancy Tax amount to be collected from the Guest in accordance with applicable law and directly remitting the Occupancy Taxes to the relevant Tax Authority. IBooked.online does not assume any liability for the failure of a participating Host to comply with any applicable tax reporting or remittance obligations. The amount of Occupancy Taxes, if any, collected and remitted by IBooked.online will be visible to and separately stated to both Guests and Hosts on their respective transaction documents. Where IBooked.online is facilitating Collection and Remittance, Hosts are not permitted to collect any Occupancy Taxes being collected by IBooked.online relating to their Accommodations in that jurisdiction.

13.5 You agree that any claim or cause of action relating to IBooked.online’s facilitation of Collection and Remittance of Occupancy Taxes shall not extend to any supplier or vendor that may be used by IBooked.online in connection with facilitation of Collection and Remittance, 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 IBooked.online from the applicable Tax Authority in accordance with applicable procedures set by that Tax Authority.

13.6 IBooked.online reserves the right, with prior notice to Hosts, to cease the Collection and Remittance in any jurisdiction for any reason at which point Hosts and Guests are once again solely responsible and liable for the collection and/or remittance of any and all Occupancy Taxes that may apply to Accommodations in that jurisdiction.
