Preamble

The Service's owners,  operators, employees, contractors, and other associates are referred to herein as "the Operators."

The User may create and manage property listings on the Service.  The properties to which these properties listings are associated are referred to herein as the User's "Properties."

Agreement

This document represents a legal agreement between the Operators and the User.  If any item in this document is disagreeable to any potential User, that individual should not become a User of the Service.  The act of an individual using the Service confirms their agreement with and intent to abide by all guidelines set forth in this Agreement.

Users determined by the Operators to be in violation of any portion of this agreement may be penalized or removed from the Service.

Alterations

This Agreement may be amended at any time by the Operators.  The User will receive notification of any such modifications via email, displayed messages, or the Service's private inbox feature.

Country of Origin

The Service is only subject to the laws and regulations applicable to the states of California and Nevada in the United States of America.

Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy is also part of this Agreement.

Information Policy

The Operators may remove, alter, or permanently destroy any information on the Service regardless of its type or origin.

The Operators assume no responsibility for the consequences from the presentation, corruption, use, theft, misrepresentation, or loss of information.

Copying, storing, buying, or selling any text, sounds, images, account information, and other information maintained by the Service is prohibited excepting:

  1. Cases when explicit disclaimers are associated with specific information
  2. Those who own copyrights to specific information
  3. Circumstances of �fair use� as defined by United States copyright law.  This allows users, for example, to print images for their own use.
  4. Indexing by web search engines

Password Policy

The User should create strong passwords consisting of at least eight letters and numbers.  The User should change their password at least every six months, avoid storing their passwords in an unsafe location, and avoid sharing their passwords with untrustworthy individuals.

The Operators will never ask for the User's password and they can not recover lost passwords.  The Service however can provide a new password to the User in a secure fashion.

User Account Policy

The User shall not share their password with another individual who manages property listings for properties that are unrelated to the User.  In this scenario the intent is to make only one payment to the Service when two independent payments should be made.  The Operators may seek reimbursement and other damages from all parties committing this type of fraud.

Copyrights

The User shall not contribute any copyrighted text, sound, images, content, or other information to the Service to which they do not own the copyright.  The Operators may remove any information that is determined to be in violation of copyright law.

Copyright owners may notify the Operators of violations using the contact information provided above.

The User shall not infringe upon any patents, copyrights, and other intellectual property owned by the Operators and the Service's users.

The Operators accept no responsibility for the Service's users contributing or acquiring copyrighted text, sound, images, content, or other information to or from the Service.

Acceptable Use

The User shall not conduct illegal or fraudulent activity via the Service.  The Operators will report all illegal activity to law enforcement.

The User shall not conduct illegal activity inside or outside a Property during a Stay.

The User shall not attempt to acquire or use passwords, personal, payment, or other information belonging to other users of the Service without their expressed consent.

The User shall not harass other users.

The User shall not contribute inaccurate or misleading information about themselves, their traveling party, their properties, their property stays, their experience with the Service's users, or the properties and property listings associated with other users of the Service.

Partner Programs

The Operators make no claims regarding the content, services, information, or actions of its partners.

Availability

The Operators strive to provide the best possible user experience.  However, service outages may occur from time to time, due to events including planned upgrades, Internet connectivity loss, hardware failures, power interruptions, or software bugs.

The Operators make no guarantees with regard to the Service�s quality or availability.

The Service will attempt to notify the User in advance of planned downtime via displayed messages, email, or the Service�s inbox functionality.

Payments

Some of the Service�s features are provided on a pre-paid basis only.  Payment must be confirmed by the Service on or prior to the first day of accessing these features.  Paid features are purchased in advance for a "Subscription Period" which is a fixed period of time.  Payments collected accurately from the User for services rendered may not be refunded.

Dormancy and Removal of User Accounts

Removal (or cancellation) of the User's account may result in the unrecoverable destruction of all information related to the User's account, including by not limited to property listings, ratings, blog entries, and feedback.

When the Subscription Period expires and additional payments are not made by the User, the User's account will become Dormant, which causes the Service to restrict the User's account to a subset of the Service's features.  The Service will send the User notification of their account's dormancy status via email, displayed messages, or the private inbox feature.  When the User's account is Dormant for a period of time, the Operators may remove the User's account.

Service Discontinuation

Although unlikely, the Operators may shut down the Service permanently for any reason without notification.

Risks of Property Stays

The Operators make no claims regarding whether the User will stay in property using the Service as a guest.  The Operators make no claims regarding the User's property stay experience.

There are many risks associated with property swapping, including but not limited to damage to property, loss of property, injury, liability, identity theft, fraud, monetary loss, incomplete directions, lack of compensation for time spent, and broken verbal or written contracts.  The User shall arrange, host, and conduct all of their property stays responsibly, carefully, and conscientiously.  The Operators are not responsible for the User's experience related to arranging, hosting, and/or conducting property stays.

ALL USERS WHO INTEND TO ENGAGE IN PROPERTY SWAPPING SHOULD CONSULT AN INSURANCE AGENT ON A REGULAR BASIS TO CONFIRM THAT THEY MAINTAIN ADEQUATE COVERAGE FOR THEIR LIABILITY AND PROPERTY.

The Operators accept no responsibility for the actions of the User or the Service's users.
