If you are agreeing to this on behalf of a business or legal entity, you affirm that you have the authority to bind that entity to this Agreement, where “User”, “you” or “your” will refer to such entity. If you lack such authority or do not agree with these terms, you should not accept this Agreement and refrain from accessing or using the Website and Services. This Agreement forms a binding contract between you and Rent & Park, even though it is electronic and lacks a physical signature, and it regulates your use of the Website and Services. The Rent & Park Platform serves as an online platform enabling users to list, offer, search for, and reserve camping services. Those who list and offer services are termed “Hosts,” while those who seek, book, or utilize services are referred to as “Guests.”

1. For guests

The terms mentioned only apply to Users when they are acting as Guests:

Bookings. This Agreement covers all bookings made on the Website, with pricing determined by the Host. As a Guest, you understand that you are responsible for fulfilling any agreements with the Host, and Rent & Park is not a party to these agreements. Rent & Park disclaims any liability associated with such agreements, except for payment obligations. In bookings, Rent & Park serves as a technology service for communication. A service fee is charged for each transaction on the Website, while Stripe handles the transactions per their Terms. Further details about Stripe can be found in Section 5 of this Agreement.

Cancellations and Refunds. When canceling a reservation, the refunded amount excludes the service fee and is based on Rent & Park’s cancellation policy. For more details on our cancellation policy, please visit this link Cancellation Policy.

Liability for damages. If a Host presents evidence of damage, such as photographs, you are responsible for covering the cost of replacing the damaged items or property with similar ones. Upon notification of the claim and an adequate response time, the payment will be deducted from the credit card associated with your account. Failure to process the payment from the credit card on file requires you to make payment directly to the Host or Rent & Park, as applicable. Both Guests and Hosts commit to collaborating with Rent & Park in good faith, providing necessary information, and taking required actions concerning any complaints or claims raised by Hosts.

Property Terms and Conditions.

• As a Guest, you are required to adhere to all property rules, regulations, and local laws, which serve as additional terms for any booking you make.
• Before your stay, you must settle all fees and charges associated with the property reservation, unless stated otherwise in writing. A booking will only be confirmed upon receipt of written confirmation.
• Violating property rules may lead to cancellation of your booking(s), denial of access, or forfeiture of any payments made for the reservation(s).
• By booking, you authorize Rent & Park to charge your account for any costs incurred due to violations, such as property damage or injuries caused by you.

Property Damage Responsibility:
As a guest, it is your responsibility to ensure the property is maintained in the same condition as when you arrived. You accept and understand that you are accountable for your actions and the actions of anyone you allow access to the property. By agreeing, you authorize Rent & Park to charge your account promptly for any fees owed, without the need for further notice or consent.

Insurance: As a Guest, it is your responsibility to arrange insurance coverage. You are accountable for covering any property damages not included in your insurance, along with insurance deductibles, fees, expenses, liens, and fines incurred during your use of the property.

2. For hosts

The terms mentioned are specifically for Users acting as Hosts.

Listings: As a Host, you understand and agree that you are accountable for all listings you publish (“Listing”). Rent & Park retains the authority to remove or restrict access to any Listing at any time and without prior notice for valid reasons.

When you agree to a booking request or receive a booking via Rent & Park, you are establishing a contract directly with the guest. It is your responsibility to provide the service as outlined in your listing, according to the specified terms and price.

Cancellations. Typically, when a guest cancels a reservation, the refund amount follows Rent & Park’s cancellation policy. Find detailed information about Rent & Park’s cancellation policy [here]. As a host, it’s essential not to cancel on a guest unless you have a valid reason.

Compliance: It is your responsibility to understand and become familiar with the laws in your area that govern the rental of private property for the intended purpose. Some areas may necessitate registration, licensing, or specific permits. You are accountable for ensuring compliance with all such regulations. By posting a Listing and arranging a booking (and usage) of a property, you affirm that: (i) it will not violate any agreements you have with third parties, like lease or rental agreements, and (ii) it will (a) adhere to all relevant laws, tax obligations, and regulations that may pertain to the property (including possessing all necessary permits, licenses, and registrations), and (b) not infringe on the rights of third parties.

Insurance: The agreement made with a guest is solely between you and the guest, and Rent & Park is not involved in it. As a host, it is your responsibility to secure suitable insurance for your property and be aware of any exclusions in the insurance policy.

Availability: You have the flexibility to set your property’s availability schedule. You have the liberty to approve or decline booking requests. Once a guest sends a booking request, you cannot ask for a higher price than what was stated in the request on the website. By accepting or receiving a booking through Rent & Park, you commit to honoring that booking for both Rent & Park and the guest, without adding any extra fees for the accommodation (except for electricity which can be paid on site and extra services such as laundry clothes, drying clothes, buying local goods, etc. which must be paid for at the accommodation).

The agreement with Rent & Park does not establish a partnership, joint venture, or employer-employee relationship with you as a Host. Your association with Rent & Park is that of an independent individual or entity, not an employee or representative. You are accountable for filing tax returns and making payments to all relevant tax authorities for any payments received under this Agreement. It is essential to adhere to federal, state, local, and foreign laws concerning self-employed individuals, including tax payments like income and employment taxes, as well as social security, disability, and other contributions.
