If there is a substantial change in the itinerary or the Host Service needs to be cancelled, Lendaland will work with the Host to provide Guests an alternative date for the Host Service, an appropriate refund or a rebooking.
9.5 In certain circumstances, Lendaland 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 set forth in Lendaland’s Extenuating Circumstances Policy or (i) where Lendaland believes in good faith, while taking the legitimate interests of both parties into account, this is necessary to avoid significant harm to Lendaland, other Members, third parties or property, or (ii) for any of the reasons set out in these Terms.
9.6 If a Guest suffers a Travel Issue as defined in and pursuant to the Lendaland’s Extenuating Circumstances Policy, Lendaland may determine, in its sole discretion, to refund the Guest part or all of the Total Fees in accordance with the Guest Refund Policy.
9.7 Members may contact us at [email protected] to send or request money for refunds, additional Host Services, or Damage Claims related to bookings.
10.1 Within a limited time (as determined by Lendaland in its sole discretion) after completing a booking, Guests and Hosts can leave a public review (“Review”) and submit a star rating (“Rating”) about each other. Any Ratings or Reviews reflect the opinion of individual Members and do not reflect the opinion of Lendaland. Ratings and Reviews are not verified by Lendaland for accuracy and may be incorrect or misleading.
10.2 Ratings and Reviews by Guests and Hosts must be fair, truthful and factual and may not contain any offensive, libelous, or defamatory language. Ratings and Reviews must comply with Lendaland’s Content Policy and Extortion Policy.
10.3 Members are prohibited from manipulating the Ratings and Reviews system in any manner, such as instructing or influencing a third party to write a positive or negative Review about another Member.
10.4. See Section 4.9 above regarding your right to request removal of certain posted content.
11. Damage to Accommodations, Disputes between Members
11.1 Guests are responsible for leaving the Accommodation (including any personal or other property located at the site of the Events or Host Services) in the condition it was in when the Guests arrived. Guests are responsible for their own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals whom Guests invite to, or otherwise provide access to, the Property, excluding the Host (and the individuals the Host invites to the Property, if applicable).
11.2 If a Host claims and provides evidence that you as a Guest have damaged the Property or any personal or other property at Events or Host Services (“Damage Claim”), the Host can seek payment from you by contacting us. If a Host escalates a Damage Claim to Lendaland, Guests will be given an opportunity to respond. If you agree to pay the Host, or Lendaland determines in its sole discretion that you are responsible for the Damage Claim, Lendaland will collect any such sums from the Guests at issue and/or against the Security Deposit (if applicable) required to cover the Damage Claim pursuant to the Payments Terms. Lendaland also reserves the right to otherwise collect payment from you and pursue any remedies available to Lendaland in this regard in situations in which you are responsible for a Damage Claim.
11.3 Members agree to cooperate with and assist Lendaland in good faith, and to provide Lendaland with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Lendaland, in connection with any Damage Claims or other complaints or claims made by Members relating to Events or Host Services or any personal or other property located at a Property. A Member shall, upon Lendaland’s 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 Lendaland or a third party selected by Lendaland or its insurer, with respect to losses for which a Member is requesting payment from Lendaland.
12. Claims Against Hosts
12.1 If you are a Host, you understand and agree that Lendaland 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 a property or any personal or other property located at a Property. You agree to cooperate with and assist Lendaland in good faith, and to provide Lendaland with such information as may be reasonably requested by Lendaland, 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 Lendaland may reasonably request to assist Lendaland in accomplishing the foregoing.
13.1 You as a Host agree to comply with all applicable tax and tax-related laws and regulations (as currently existing and as enacted or amended hereafter). As a Host you are solely responsible for determining your obligations to report, collect, remit or include in your Listing Fees any applicable VAT or other indirect sales taxes, occupancy tax, tourist or other visitor taxes, income taxes or other taxes (collectively, “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 documentation that we determine to be sufficient to alleviate our obligation (if any) to withhold Taxes from payouts to you, we reserve the right to freeze all payouts or withhold such amounts as required by law, or to do both, 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, Lendaland may decide in its sole discretion to facilitate collection and remittance of Occupancy Taxes from or on behalf of Guests or Hosts, in accordance these Terms (“Collection and Remittance”) if such jurisdiction asserts Lendaland 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 Lendaland 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. The amount of Occupancy Taxes, if any, collected and remitted by Lendaland will be visible to and separately stated to both Guests and Hosts on their respective transaction documents. Where Lendaland is facilitating Collection and Remittance, Hosts are not permitted to collect any Occupancy Taxes being collected by Lendaland relating to their Accommodations in that jurisdiction.
13.5 You agree that any claim or cause of action relating to Lendaland’s facilitation of Collection and Remittance of Occupancy Taxes shall not extend to any supplier or vendor that may be used by Lendaland 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 Lendaland from the applicable Tax Authority in accordance with applicable procedures set by that Tax Authority.
13.6 Lendaland 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.
14.1 Members are solely responsible for compliance with any and all laws, rules, regulations, and Tax obligations that may apply to their use of the Lendaland Platform. In connection with Members’ use of the Lendaland Platform, Members will not and will not assist or enable others to:

violate or infringe anyone else’s rights or otherwise cause harm to anyone.
14.2 You acknowledge that Lendaland has no obligation to monitor the access to or use of the Lendaland Platform by any Member or to review, disable access to, or edit any Member Content, but has the right to do so to (i) operate, secure and improve the Lendaland Platform (including without limitation for fraud prevention, risk assessment, investigation and customer support purposes); (ii) ensure Members’ compliance with these Terms; (iii) comply with applicable law or the order or requirement of a court, law enforcement or other administrative agency or governmental body; (iv) respond to Member Content that it determines is harmful or objectionable; or (v) as otherwise set forth in these Terms. Members agree to cooperate with and assist Lendaland in good faith, and to provide Lendaland with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Lendaland with respect to any investigation undertaken by Lendaland or a representative of Lendaland regarding the use or abuse of the Lendaland Platform.
14.3 If you feel that any Member you interact with, whether online or in person, is acting or has acted inappropriately, including but not limited to anyone who (i) engages in offensive, violent or sexually inappropriate behavior, (ii) you suspect of stealing from you, or (iii) engages in any other disturbing conduct, you should immediately report such person to the appropriate authorities and then to Lendaland by providing us with your police station and report number (if available); provided that your report will not obligate us to take any action beyond that required by law (if any) or cause us to incur any liability to you.

15.8 If you or we terminate this Agreement, the clauses of these Terms that reasonably should survive termination of the Agreement will remain in effect.
16.1 If you choose to use the Lendaland Platform or Collective Content, you do so voluntarily and at your sole risk. The Lendaland Platform and Collective Content is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, either express or implied.
16.2 You agree that you have had whatever opportunity you deem necessary to investigate the Lendaland Services, laws, rules, or regulations that may be applicable to your Listings and/or Host Services you are receiving and that you are not relying upon any statement of law or fact made by Lendaland relating to a Listing.
16.3 If we choose to conduct identity verification or background checks on any Member, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim warranties of any kind, either express or implied, that such checks will identify prior misconduct by a Member or guarantee that a Member will not engage in misconduct in the future.
16.4 You agree that some Accommodations, Events or other Host Services may carry inherent risk, and by participating in those Host Services, you choose to assume those risks voluntarily. For example, some Host Services may carry risk of illness, bodily injury, disability, or death, and you freely and willfully assume those risks by choosing to participate in those Host Services. You assume full responsibility for the choices you make before, during and after your participation in a Host Service. If you bring a minor as an additional guest, you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor throughout the duration of the Events or Host Services and to the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to release and hold harmless Lendaland from all liabilities and claims that arise in any way from any injury, death, loss or harm that occurs to that minor during the Host Services or in any way related to your Host Service.
16.5 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.
17.1 Members acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Lendaland Platform and Collective Content, your publishing or booking of any Listing via the Lendaland Platform, your stay at any Accommodation, participation in any Events or use of any other Host Services or any other interaction you have with other Members whether in person or online remains with you. Neither Lendaland nor any third party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Lendaland Platform or Collective Content will be liable for any incidental, special, indirect, 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, including disability or death, or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with (i) these Terms, (ii) from the use of or inability to use the Lendaland Platform or Collective Content, (iii) from any communications, interactions or meetings with other Members or other persons with whom you communicate, interact or meet with as a result of your use of the Lendaland Platform, or (iv) from your publishing or booking of a Listing, including the provision or use of a Listing’s Accommodation, Events or Host Services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not Lendaland 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 applicable Hosts pursuant to these Terms, in no event will Lendaland’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms and your use of the Lendaland Platform including, but not limited to, from your publishing or booking of any Listings via the Lendaland Platform, or from the use of or inability to use the Lendaland Platform or Collective Content and in connection with any Visit to a Property, Event or other Host Service, or interactions with any other Members, exceed the amounts you have paid or owe for bookings via the Lendaland Platform as a Guest in the twelve (12) month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability, or if you are a Host, the amounts paid by Lendaland to you in the twelve (12) month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability, or one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100.00), 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 Lendaland 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 Lendaland’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.
17.2 Lendaland draws your attention to the fact that there are certain inherent risks involved in participating in the type of Events and Host Services facilitated by the Lendaland. Members agree and understand that they participate in such Events and Host Services at your own risk, and that such Events and Host Services are inherently dangerous and life threatening.
17.3 Members acknowledge and agree that it is their responsibility to obtain professional medical advice prior to departure as to whether said Members have the physical and mental ability to undertake the booked Events or Host Services. Members are responsible for their own medical condition, care and treatment.
17.4 By accepting this Agreement, Members acknowledge and agree that their Events and Host Services, whether in civilized or remote areas, by plane, train, auto, boat, horseback, boat, canoe, other conveyance, or on foot, involves inherent dangerous risks of illness, injury, death or loss and damage of property, which may be caused by intentional conduct and negligence of yourself and/or others, forces of nature, and other causes known or unknown. Members recognize that such risks may be present at any time before, during, and after the trip, and you hereby accept the same.
18.1 You agree to release, defend (at Lendaland’s option), indemnify, and hold Lendaland and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their officers, directors, employees, Members, managers, 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, (ii) your improper use of the Lendaland Platform or any Lendaland Services, (iii) your interaction with any Member, visit to a Property, participation in an Event or other Host Service, including without limitation any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction, stay, participation or use, (iv) Lendaland’s Collection and Remittance of Taxes or fees, or (v) your breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights.

This agreement to arbitrate will be specifically enforceable under the prevailing law of any court having jurisdiction. Notice of a demand for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other party hereto and with the AAA.

The parties agree that one (1) arbitrator shall arbitrate the dispute. The arbitrator shall be selected by the joint agreement of the parties, but if they do not so agree within twenty (20) days after the date of the notice of a demand for arbitration referred to above, the selection shall be made pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA from the panels of business arbitrators maintained by the AAA. The decision of the arbitrator shall be made in writing and shall be final. Judgment may be entered upon it in any court having jurisdiction thereof, and the decision shall not be subject to vacation, modification or appeal, except to the extent permitted by Sections 10 and 11 of the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of which Sections the parties agree shall apply. The expenses of arbitration, including and the fees and expenses of the arbitrator and the AAA, shall be shared equally by the parties.
19.4. The arbitrator will have no authority to award attorneys’ fees, punitive damages, or any other monetary relief not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages and each party irrevocably waives any claim thereto. The award may include equitable relief. The arbitrator will not make any ruling, finding, or award that does not otherwise conform to the Terms. The arbitrator may render a summary disposition relative to all or some of the issues, provided that the responding party has had an adequate opportunity to respond to any such application for such disposition.
19.5. The parties agree to treat all aspects of the arbitration as confidential, as provided in the AAA Rules. Before making any disclosure permitted by the Rules, a party shall give written notice to the other party and afford such party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests. Further, judgment on the arbitrators’ award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
19.6 Jury Trial Waiver. You and Lendaland acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.
19.7 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither you nor we will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity, and each party hereby waives any right to assert consolidated claims with respect to any disputes subject to arbitration under these Terms or any disputes between the parties. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings.’
