Terms of Service Tripz.com

It’s important to read our TERMS OF SERVICE carefully as they contain information regarding your legal rights. These include your obligations to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

As a Traveler or Property Representative you should understand the laws in their respective cities. There are given cities with laws that restrict Property Representatives to market a property for less than 30 days and in other cases more than 30 days. It’s vital to review the laws in your city. In many cities, Property Representatives must register, get a permit, or obtain a license before a property can be marketed or accept a Traveler. Some cities even have prohibited short-terms bookings altogether. Local legislations can vary greatly in enforcement and penalties. Ensure as a Property Representative you review all local restrictions before advertising your property.

Accommodation Listings

As a Member, you may create Listings. To create a Listing, you will be asked a variety of questions about the Accommodation to be listed, including, but not limited to, the location, capacity, size, features, and availability of the Accommodation and pricing and related rules and financial terms. In order to be featured in Listings via the Site, Application and Services, all Accommodations must have valid physical addresses. Listings will be made publicly available via the Site, Application and Services. Other Members will be able to book your Accommodation via the Site, Application and Services based upon the information provided in your Listing. You understand and agree that once a Traveler requests a booking of your Accommodation, you may not request the Traveler 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 Traveler's stay at, an Accommodation in a Listing you post (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, such as homeowners 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, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Accommodation 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 Tripz.com assumes no responsibility for a Property Representative’s compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations. Tripz.com reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Listing for any reason, including Listings that Tripz.com, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms.

If you are a Property Representative, you understand and agree that Tripz.com does not act as an insurer or as your contracting agent. If a Traveler requests a booking of your Accommodation and stays at your Accommodation, any agreement you enter into with such Traveler is between you and the Traveler and Tripz.com is not a party to it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tripz.com Payments serves as the limited authorized payment collection agent of the Property Representative for the purpose of accepting, on behalf of the Property Representative, payments from Travelers of such amounts stipulated by the Property Representative (including cleaning or other fees and/or Taxes).

When you create a Listing, you may also choose to include certain requirements which must be met by the Members who are eligible to request a booking of your Accommodation, such as requiring Members to have a profile picture or verified phone number, in order to book your Accommodation. Any Member wishing to book Accommodations included in Listings with such requirements must meet these requirements. More information on how to set such requirements is available via the "Owner" section of the Site, Application and Services.

If you are a Property Representative, Tripz.com 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 Accommodation. You acknowledge and agree that, as a Property Representative, 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 Accommodation at your request or invitation, excluding the Traveler (and the individuals the Traveler invites to the Accommodation, if applicable.)

Tripz.com recommends that Property Representatives obtain appropriate insurance for their Accommodations. Please review any insurance policy that you may have for your Accommodation carefully, and in particular please make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of Travelers (and the individuals the Traveler invites to the Accommodation, if applicable) while at your Accommodation.

No Endorsement

Tripz.com does not endorse any Member or any Accommodation. You understand that Verified Images are intended only to indicate a photographic representation of the Accommodation at the time the photograph was taken. Verified Images are therefore not an endorsement by Tripz.com of any Member or any Accommodation. Members are required by these Terms to provide accurate information, and although Tripz.com may undertake additional checks and processes designed to help verify or check the identities or backgrounds of users, we do not make any representations about, confirm, or endorse any Member or the Member's purported identity or background.

Any references in the Site, Application or Services to a Member being "verified" or "connected" (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification process, and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by Tripz.com 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, Application and Services. We therefore recommend that you always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to stay with a Property Representative or to accept a booking request from a Traveler, or to have any other interaction with any other Member, we are not responsible for any damage or harm resulting from your interactions with other Members.

By using the Site, Application 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 Tripz.com 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 Property Representative against Tripz.com regarding the remittance of payments received from a Traveler by Tripz.com on behalf of a Property Representative, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled "Limitation of Liability".

Bookings and Financial Terms Key definitions

Subscription Fees

Subscription rates and fees charged for any listing are set at the time of a Property Representative’s purchase of the subscription or renewal or sign up. Such rates and fees are subject to change without notice or approval. The rates in effect at the time of the Property Representative’s next subscription renewal, new listing or a member’s upgrade or any other additional or new order of any product or service will govern for such renewal or other order.

The types of products and services (including the features, terms and operation thereof) offered at the time of a Property Representative’s subscription or sign up are subject to the descriptions displayed at the time of use and/or purchase and are subject to change without notice or approval. Tripz.com further reserve the right to offer additional products, services or features for purchase at any time.

Subscription Term, Refund Requests and Termination or Transfer of Listings

Subscription Term: All subscription listings are sold to run the full term that is chosen by the Property Representative. The term starts on the date that the Property Representative submits the full or initial (as applicable) payment and expires on the last date of the term chosen by the Property Representative. For example, for an annual subscription term, if the Property Representative submits payment for the subscription on July 1st, the subscription would expire on June 30 of the following year.

Refund Requests: Generally, no refunds are available for annul subscriptions. Once and annual subscription is paid for and set as active on Tripz.com it is no longer eligible for a refund of any kind.

Refund Requests for Subscription Listings Not Completed: In the event you purchase a subscription for a listing but do not complete the creation of the listing or the listing does not get posted after purchase for any other reason, refund requests will be considered only during the first two (2) months following the purchase date. If within such two (2) month period you do not complete the creation of your listing as we may require to display such listing on the Site (i) you shall not be entitled to any refund and (ii) your subscription will expire no more than 15 months from the purchase date of the subscription regardless of the listing posting date.

If you renew your subscription, or if your subscription automatically renews under its terms of your subscription, your listing will remain online for the entire subscription period without refund. If you sell your property and no longer wish for the listing to remain online, please contact us and we can remove the listing; however, no refund will be owed.

Our Right to Terminate a Listing: If, in our sole discretion, any Property Representative submits unsuitable material to our Site or into our database, misuses the Site or our online system or is in material breach of these Terms, we reserve the right to terminate such Property Representative’s subscription(s) immediately without refund. In addition, if we become aware of or receive a complaint or a series of complaints from any user or other third party regarding a Property Representative’s listing or rental practices that, in our sole discretion, warrants the immediate removal of such Property Representative’s listing from the Site (for example, and without limitation, if a member double-books a property for multiple Travelers on the same date, or engages in any practice that, in our sole discretion, would be considered deceptive, unfair or improper within the vacation rental industry or in an online marketplace for vacation rentals, if we determine or suspect that the Property Representative’s payment-related practices or procedures are not secure, legal or otherwise proper, or if we receive a complaint that any listing’s content infringes on the rights of a third party), then we may immediately terminate such Property Representative’s listing(s) or subscription(s) without notice to the member and without refund. We assume no duty to investigate complaints. Finally, if any member is abusive or offensive to any employee or representative of Tripz.com, we reserve the right to terminate such Property Representative’s listing(s) or subscription(s) immediately without refund. Finally, if any Property Representative is in breach of these Terms or its obligations to us or any of our third party providers then we may terminate such Property Representative’s subscription(s) immediately without notice to the Property Representative and without refund.

Transfer of Listing to a Third Party: No listing may be transferred to another party. In the event of a property sale or change in property management, Tripz.com will provide guidance on options for creating a new listing.

Taxes

You understand and acknowledge that appropriate governmental agencies, departments or authorities (the "Tax Authority") where your Accommodation is located may require Taxes to be collected from Travelers or Property Representatives on the amount paid for the right to use and/or occupancy of accommodations, 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 rent or Accommodation Fees set by Property Representatives, a set amount per day, or other variations, and are sometimes called "occupancy taxes," "hotel taxes," "lodging taxes," "transient taxes," "sales and use taxes," "value added taxes," "room taxes" or "tourist taxes" (hereafter, "Occupancy Taxes").

Identity Verification

User verification on the Internet is difficult and we cannot, and do not assume any responsibility for, the confirmation of each user's purported identity. We encourage you to communicate directly with a Traveler or Property Representative through Site, Application, or Services, though even this does not assure you of the identity of the person with which you are communicating.

This means that:

  • The property in a listing may not be substituted for another property without our consent. We may approve a request in our discretion if the property manager's contract for the property was terminated and the member provides sufficient proof, as requested by us, and completes any additional request forms we may request. The term of the subscription for any substituted property shall be the same as the term of the originally listed property (i.e., the term will not be extended past the original term).
  • If a member submits changes to an existing listing that, if approved, would substantially alter the listing to make it that of another property, then we have the right to terminate the listing and may choose, in our sole discretion, to retain any fees associated with the term of the previously existing listing as compensation for the violation of this condition.
  • The listing specifically cannot be a mere example of properties in a given area. Only one property can appear on each listing, unless it is a property with multiple rental units on the same site and additional advertising units are purchased. We reserve the right to amend the copy or remove any listing when more than one property is described in such listing, and may choose, in our sole discretion to retain any fees associated with the initial term of such non-conforming listing as compensation for the violation of this condition

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Tripz.com's prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. Tripz.com may assign or transfer these Terms, at its sole discretion, without restriction.

For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

Controlling Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and your use of the Services will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona and the United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. You and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in Maricopa County, Scottsdale, Arizona for any actions for which the parties retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights, as set forth in the Dispute Resolution provision below.

Dispute Resolution

You and Tripz.com agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or to the use of the Services or use of the Site or Application (collectively, "Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. You acknowledge and agree that you and Tripz.com are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Tripz.com otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Dispute Resolution" section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this "Dispute Resolution" section will survive any termination of these Terms.

Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this "Dispute Resolution" section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration and a separate form for Arizona residents) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Arizona and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless you and Tripz.com otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Tripz.com submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

Arbitrator's Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator's decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator's award damages must be consistent with the terms of the "Limitation of Liability" section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. Tripz.com will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, Tripz.com will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the "Modification" section above, if Tripz.com changes this "Dispute Resolution" section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Last Updated Date" above or in the date of Tripz.com's email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Tripz.com in accordance with the provisions of this "Dispute Resolution" section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

General

The failure of Tripz.com to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Tripz.com. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. If for any reason an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

Third party beneficiary

These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the payment card networks are third party beneficiaries of these Terms for purposes of enforcing provisions related to payments, but that their consent or agreement is not necessary for any changes or modifications to these Terms.

Distribution of Listings to Third Party Websites

To enable Property Representatives to obtain broader distribution of their properties, we may provide your listing information, or otherwise provide for the distribution of, your listing on a Third Party Website. Additional terms and conditions may apply to such distributions, as we may notify you of via your online account or email.
