As a Member, you may create Listings. To create a Listing, you will be asked a variety of questions about the Property to be listed, including, but not limited to, the property, capacity, size, features, and availability of the Property and pricing and related rules and financial terms. In order to be featured in Listings via the Site and Services, all Properties must have valid physical addresses. Listings will be made publicly available via the Site and Services. You understand and agree that the placement or ranking of Listings in search results may depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, Renter and Lister preferences, ratings and/or ease of booking.Other Members will be able to book your Property via the Site and Services based upon the information provided in your Listing, your Renter requirements, and Renters' search parameters and preferences. You understand and agree that once a Renter requests a booking of your Property, you may not request the Renter 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 Renter's stay at, a Property in a Listing you post (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, such as property owners 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, Intellectual Property laws, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Property 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 Sloscout assumes no responsibility for a Lister's compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations. Sloscout reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Listing for any reason, including Listings that Sloscout, 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 Lister, you understand and agree that Sloscout does not act as an insurer or as your contracting agent. If a Renter requests a booking of your Property and stays at your Property, any agreement you enter into with such Renter is between you and the Renter and Sloscout is not a party to it.If you are a Lister, Sloscout 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 Property. You acknowledge and agree that, as a Lister, 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 Property at your request or invitation, excluding the Renter (and the individuals the Renter invites to the Property, if applicable.)Sloscout may offer Listers the option of having photographers take photographs of their Properties. If you as a Lister choose to have photographer do this, Sloscout shall own all copyrights in photographs taken but these photographs will be made available to you to include in your Listing with a watermark or tag bearing the words "Sloscout.com Verified Photo" or similar wording ("Verified Images"). You agree that you alone are responsible for ensuring that your Listing is accurately represented in the Verified Images. You alone are responsible for using the Verified Images for your Listing and you warrant that you will cease to use the Verified Images or any other images if such images cease to accurately represent your Listing or if you cease to be a Lister for the Listing featured. All images, materials and content created by these photographers, including Verified Images, constitute Sloscout Content, regardless of whether you include them in your Listing and you agree not to use them except in your Listing without prior authorization from Sloscout. If your Sloscout Account is terminated or suspended for any reason, you shall not use Verified Images in any way. You agree that Sloscout retains its right to and may use the Verified Images for advertising, marketing, commercial and other business purposes in any media or platform, whether in relation to your Listing or otherwise, without further notice or compensation.
8. No Endorsement
Sloscout does not endorse any Member, Listing or Property. You understand that Verified Images are intended only to indicate a photographic representation of the Property at the time the photograph was taken. Verified Images are therefore not an endorsement by Sloscout of any Member, Listing or Property.Members are required by these Terms to provide accurate information. Although Sloscout may, for transparency or fraud prevention or detection purposes, directly or through third parties, ask you to provide a form of government identification, your date of birth, and other information, or undertake additional checks and processes designed to help verify or check the identities or backgrounds of Members and/or screen Member information against third party databases or other sources, we do not make any representations about, confirm, or endorse any Member or the Member's purported identity or background.By registering for a Sloscout Account, you agree that Sloscout may - but is not obligated to - request a consumer report on you from a Consumer Reporting Agency. If we do request a consumer report, we'll request and use it in compliance with applicable law, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act.Any references in the Site or Services to a Member being "verified" or "connected" (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification or identification process, and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by Sloscout 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 Lister or to accept or preapprove a booking request from a Renter, or to have any other interaction with any other Member. Except as provided in the Sloscout Host Insurance Terms and Conditions ("Sloscout Host Insurance"), which is an agreement between Sloscout and Listers, 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 Sloscout 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 Lister against Sloscout regarding the remittance of payments received from a Renter by Sloscout on behalf of a Lister, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled "Limitation of Liability".
9. Bookings and Financial Terms
A. Key definitions"Lister Fees" means the fee that Sloscout charges a Lister for the use of the Services, which is calculated as a percentage of the applicable Property Fees. The Lister Fees will be displayed to the Lister when the Lister is asked whether to confirm or reject a booking request from a prospective Renter."Payment Method" means a payment method that you have added to your Sloscout Account, such as a credit card, debit card or PayPal."Property Fees" means the amounts that are due and payable by a Renter in exchange for renting a Property. This includes the Lister Fees, the Property Management Fees (if applicable) and, the Processing Fee. The Lister alone, and not Sloscout, is responsible for setting the Property Fees for his or her Listing."Property Manager" means a person or a company providing assistance to the Lister with listing and renting out the Property."Property Management Fees" means the fee that Property Manager charges a Lister for assisting a Lister with listing and renting out the Property, which is calculated as a percentage of the applicable Property Fees. The Property Management fees will be displayed to the Renter when the Renter is asked whether to send a booking request to a Lister."Service Fees" means collectively the Property Management Fees and the Lister Fees."Total Fees" means collectively the Property Fees and the Service Fees plus any Taxes.B. Appointment of Braintree as Limited Payment Collection Agent for ListerEach Lister hereby appoints Braintree as the Lister’s limited payment collection agent for the purpose of accepting the Property Fees from Renters. Each Lister agrees that payment made by a Renter through Braintree, shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to the Lister, and the Lister will make the Property available to the Renter in the agreed-upon manner as if the Lister has received the Property Fees.C. Bookings and Financial Terms for ListersIf you are a Lister and a booking is requested for your Property via the Site or Services, you will be required to either preapprove, 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 ftaxt and last name of the Renter who has requested the booking, (ii) a link to the Renter's Sloscout Account profile page. If you are unable to confirm or decide to reject a booking request within the Booking Request Period, any amounts collected by Braintree for the requested booking will be refunded to the applicable Renter. When you confirm a booking requested by a Renter, Sloscout will send you an email, text message or message via the Site confirming such booking, depending on the selections you make via the Site and Services.Braintree will collect the Total Fees from Renters at the time of the booking request or upon the Lister's confirmation and will initiate payment of the Property Fees (less applicable fees and taxes) to the Lister and the Property Management Fees to the Property Manager in most cases within 24 hours of the scheduled check-in time of the Renter at the applicable Property (except to the extent that a refund is due to the Renter).D. Bookings and Financial Terms for RentersThe Listers, not Sloscout, are solely responsible for honoring any confirmed bookings and making available any Properties reserved through the Site and Services. If you, as a Renter, choose to enter into a transaction with a Lister for the booking of a Property, you agree and understand that you will be required to enter into an agreement with the Lister and you agree to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with such Property imposed by the Lister. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not Sloscout, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any such agreements, that Sloscout is not a party to such agreements, and that Sloscout (inclusive of all subsidiaries) disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements.The Total Fees payable will be displayed to a Renter before the Renter sends a booking request to a Lister. As noted above, the Lister is required to either preapprove, confirm or reject the booking request within the Booking Request Period; otherwise, the requested booking will be automatically canceled. Upon receipt of your booking request, Braintree may initiate a pre-authorization and/or charge a nominal amount to your Payment Method. If a requested booking is canceled (i.e. not confirmed by the applicable Lister), any amounts collected by Braintree will be refunded to such Renter, depending on the selections the Renter makes via the Site, and any pre-authorization of such Renter's Payment Method will be released, if applicable.You as a Renter agree to pay the Total Fees for any booking requested, and in most cases confirmed, in connection with your Sloscout Account. Braintree will collect the Total Fees pursuant to these Terms.Once your confirmed booking transaction is complete you will receive a confirmation email summarizing your confirmed booking.E. Service Fees and Other FeesIn consideration for the use of Sloscout's online marketplace and platform, Sloscout charges Lister Fees. Braintree collects these Lister Fees, and, where applicable, may also collect Taxes in respect of the Lister Fees and Property Management Fees. Sloscout deducts the Lister Fees and Property Management Fees from the Property Fees before remitting the balance to the Lister.More information on any such costs or deductions will be available via the Site. More information on Services Fees can be found at https://help.Sloscout.com. Except as otherwise provided herein, Service Fees are non-refundable.F. Cancellations and Refundsi. Cancellations by RentersAs a Renter, you may cancel any reserved Booking before it is confirmed by the Lister without further obligation.Once a booking is confirmed by a Lister, the following cancellation and refund rules apply to Renters:• Cancellation within 24 hours of booking. Any booking cancelled by a Renter twenty four (24) hours, or fewer, after booking confirmation adheres to Sloscout’s Grace Period cancellation policy which merits a full-refund to the Renter.• Cancellation 48 hours or fewer before the booking start date. Any booking cancelled by a Renter forty eight (48) hours, or fewer, prior to the start of the booking period is non-refundable and the Renter will be charged the Total Fees stipulated in the booking request.• Cancellation more than 48 hours prior to the booking start date. For any booking cancelled by a Renter more than forty eight (48) prior to the start of the booking period, the Renter will be charged fifty percent (50%) of the Total Fees stipulated in the booking request.In the event a Renter cancels a booking that, pursuant to this Section 9(f)(i), requires payment in the form of a refund to a Renter or payout to a Lister, Sloscout will keep the Property Fees until the day on which the cancelled booking was to begin at which time Sloscout will begin to process any applicable payments to the Renter and/or Lister in accordance with its normal payment policy. For all Renter-cancelled bookings, the Lister will be entitled to the Property Fees paid to Sloscout as provided in this Section 9(f)(i) less the Service Fees payable to Sloscout provided. Failure of a Renter to comply with the cancellation provisions of this Section 9(f) shall result in the Renter forfeiting his or her or its right to any refund and the Renter shall instead be liable for the full Total Fees.ii. Cancellations by ListersThe cancellation of a confirmed booking by a Lister requires intensive logistical support and can impact the high standard of service by which Sloscout’s marketplace operates. As such, in the event of any cancellation of a confirmed booking by a Lister, Sloscout reserves the right to impose penalties on the Lister’s account including publishing an automated review indicating a cancelled booking, and suspending or terminating the Lister’s account. A cancellation of a confirmed booking by a Lister must be made with at least 7 calendar days’ notice. Failure to comply with the preceding sentence will result in Sloscout charging the Lister the applicable Service Fee and Processing Fee. In addition, if any Lister cancels more than one confirmed booking, Sloscout may, in its sole discretion, withhold future payouts to a Lister to make up for any losses incurred as a result of Lister’s initial cancellation. These losses may include but are not limited to, the additional costs required to complete a new Booking for a Renter that has been displaced by a Lister’s cancellation.iii. Cancellations by SloscoutIn certain circumstances, Sloscout may decide, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary or desirable to cancel a confirmed booking or to issue a refund to a Renter for part or all of the amounts charged to the Renter. This may be for extenuating circumstances, an emergency, or for any other reason. You hereby agree that Sloscout and the relevant Renter or Lister will not have any liability for any such cancellation or refund made by Sloscout.G. Fraud and Fraud PreventionSloscout has fraud detection and prevention processes in place to protect and educate Listers against potential fraudulent behavior by Renters on the platform. Sloscout’s team can be reached at any time by use of the contact page if the Lister desires a manual check on a Renter’s behavior and/or identity.Despite Sloscout’s efforts to detect and prevent fraudulent behavior, the Lister ultimately has the responsibility to verify the identity of Renters that book the Lister’s property. If a Lister confirms a booking and is paid out Property Fees from a fraudulent Renter, Sloscout reserves the right to collect the applicable Property Fees from the Lister once payout has been issued. If Lister refuses to return the applicable Property Fees to Sloscout, Sloscout may pursue legal avenues to retrieve them; Lister shall also reimburse Sloscout for all costs incurred in collecting the applicable Property Fees, including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys’ fees. In addition, Sloscout may, in its sole discretion, withhold future payouts to a Lister to make up for any losses incurred as a result of Lister’s initial cancellation.Additionally, Sloscout maintains the right to withhold Lister’s payout related to potentially fraudulent Renter bookings for a period of 140 days after payment is made on the platform in order to prevent the possibility of Renter-related chargebacks.
10. Taxes
Tax regulations may require us to collect appropriate tax information from our Listers, or to withhold taxes from payouts to Listers, or both. For instance, regulations stipulate that we must collect an TAX Form W-9 from certain US Listers, and an appropriate TAX Form W-8 (e.g. Form W-8BEN) from non-US listers with at least one Listing in the US. You as a Lister are solely responsible for keeping the information in your tax forms current, complete and accurate. If you as a Lister 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 Lister and you fail to provide us with a completed TAX 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 Lister 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. Sloscout cannot and does not offer Tax-related advice to any Members.You understand and acknowledge that appropriate governmental agencies, departments or authorities (the "Tax Authority") where your Property is located may require Taxes to be collected from Renters or Listers on the amount paid for the right to use and/or occupancy of properties, and to be remitted to the respective Tax Authority. The laws in jurisdictions may vary.
11. Renting a Property on Sloscout
As a Renter, you are responsible for acquiring all the necessary permits from all relevant bodies (including but not limited to filming permits, parking permits etc.) and insurance policies as well as release forms and other documents relevant to the filming process to be performed at the Property during the Booking Period. Sloscout can not be held liable for Renter not acquiring all the necessary permits and other documents relevant to the filming process to be performed at the Property during the Booking Period.
12. Damage to PropertiesAs a Renter, you are responsible for leaving the Property in the condition it was in when you arrived. You acknowledge and agree that, as a Renter, 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 Property. In the event that a Lister claims otherwise and provides evidence of damage ("Damage Claim"), including but not limited to photographs, you agree to pay the cost of replacing the damaged items with equivalent items.Listers may choose to include security deposits in their Listings ("Security Deposits"). Each Listing will describe whether a Security Deposit is required for the applicable Property. Sloscout will use commercially reasonable efforts to address Listers' requests and claims related to Security Deposits, but Sloscout is not responsible for administering or accepting any Damage Claims by Listers related to Security Deposits, and disclaims any and all liability in this regard.If a Lister makes a Damage Claim for a confirmed booking of a Property, you as a Renter will be notified of any Damage Claim and given forty eight (48) hours to respond. Thereafter, Braintree will collect any such costs from you and/or against the Security Deposit. Sloscout/Braintree also reserves the right to otherwise collect payment from you and pursue any avenues available to Sloscout in this regard in situations in which you have been determined, in Sloscout's sole discretion, to have damaged any Property, including, but not limited to, in relation to any payment requests made by Listers under the Sloscout Host Insurance, and in relation to any payments made by Sloscout to Listers.Both Renters and Listers agree to cooperate with and assist Sloscout in good faith, and to provide Sloscout with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Sloscout, in connection with any Damage Claims or other complaints or claims made by Members relating to Properties or any personal or other property located at a Property (including, without limitation, payment requests made under the Sloscout Host Insurance) or with respect to any investigation undertaken by Sloscout or a representative of Sloscout regarding use or abuse of the Site or the Services. If you are a Renter, upon Sloscout'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 Lister, at no cost to you, which process will be conducted by Sloscout or a third party selected by Sloscout or its insurer, with respect to losses for which the Lister is requesting payment from Sloscout under the Sloscout Host Insurance.If you are a Renter, you understand and agree that Sloscout 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 a Property or any personal or other property located at a Property (including without limitation amounts paid by Sloscout under the Sloscout Host Insurance). You agree to cooperate with and assist Sloscout in good faith, and to provide Sloscout with such information as may be reasonably requested by Sloscout, 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 Sloscout may reasonably request to assist Sloscout in accomplishing the foregoing Security Deposits, if required by a Lister, may be applied to any fees due from a Renter overstaying at a Listing without the Lister's consent.
13. Insurance
A. Sloscout requires that Lister and/or the Renter obtain insurance or review their existing policies and make sure their insurance covers any loss that may arise out of the use of that particular Property by the Renter, its guests, invitees, vendors, clients, customers or licensees, including policies covering property damage, casualty, personal injury, fire, and general liability (“Sufficient Insurance”). Sloscout disclaims any and all liability for Lister or Renter’s failure to be covered by Sufficient Insurance. To the extent Lister has not obtained and does not have Sufficient Insurance, it shall require Renter to purchase such Sufficient Insurance prior to the booking start date. Sloscout shall have no liability for the Parties’ failure to contract a Sufficient Insurance.B. Subject to the conditions below, Sloscout maintains an insurance policy providing limited supplemental liability insurance for the protection of Lister (the “Sloscout Host Insurance”). Sloscout’s provision of Sloscout Host Insurance does not eliminate the Lister or Renter’s obligation to have Sufficient Insurance as provided in section 13(a) of the Terms of Service. The Sloscout Host Insurance shall be:1. available only to Lister who have fully and timely complied with the Terms of Service,2. supplemental to the Lister’s Sufficient Insurance as required in section 13(a) of the Terms of Service,3. subject to and limited by the Lister Insurance Policy’s terms, conditions, and exclusions,4. subject to amendment, modification, or termination by Sloscout at any time in its sole discretion without notice to any Lister,5. made available upon request by contacting the Sloscout support team at support@Sloscout.com.
14. Overstaying without the Lister's Consent
Renters agree that a confirmed booking is merely a license granted by the Lister to the Renter to enter and use the Listing for the limited duration of the confirmed booking and in accordance with the Renter's agreement with the Lister. Renters are allowed to be present in the Property only within the designated hours that the Lister specifies in the Listing or such other time as mutually agreed upon between the Lister and Renter and further agree to leave the Property no later than the checkout time that the Lister specifies in the Listing or such other time as mutually agreed upon between the Lister and Renter. If a Renter stays past the agreed upon designated hours or checkout time without the Lister's consent, they no longer have a license to stay in the Listing and the Lister is entitled to make the Renter leave. In addition, Renters agree that the Lister can charge the Renter for periods that the Renter stays over the agreed designated hours or period without the Lister's consent an additional fee of 1.5 times the average hourly Property Fee originally paid by the Renter to cover the inconvenience suffered by the Lister, plus all applicable Service Fees, Taxes, and any legal expenses incurred by the Lister to make the Renter leave (collectively, "Additional Sums"). The Additional Sums will be charged in half hour increments.
