These Terms apply from December 2021

 

1. The Site is a Venue.

1.1. WE ARE NOT A PARTY TO ANY RENTAL TRANSACTION. We do not own nor can we enter into any contract concerning any property listed on the Sites. Instead, the Sites acts as a venue to allow a rental home owner (classed as a "member") to offer for rent, or rent, in a variety of pricing formats, a specific holiday rental property to potential renters (each, a "traveller" and, collectively with a member, the "users"). We are not involved in the actual transaction between travellers and members. As a result, the quality, safety or legality of the properties advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings (including the content thereof or any property or guest book review), the ability of members to rent holiday property or the ability of travellers to pay for holiday rental properties are solely the responsibility of the users.

2. Personal Use.

2.1. Although we do charge a fee to members to advertise their holiday rental properties on the Sites, we do not charge travellers to access the Sites and research listings. Accordingly, we grant users a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to access the Sites to, as applicable, advertise holiday rental properties and/or research, view or make legitimate enquiries to members regarding their interest in particular holiday rental properties for their personal use, all in accordance with these Terms. Any other use of the Sites is expressly prohibited. Importantly, this license does not include any right of collection, aggregation, copying, duplication, display or derivative use of the Sites nor any right of use of data mining, robots, spiders or similar data gathering and extraction tools without our prior written permission; provided, however, that a limited exception from the foregoing exclusion is provided to general purpose internet search engines and non-commercial public archives that use tools to gather information for the sole purpose of displaying hyperlinks to the Sites, provided they each do so from a stable IP address or range of IP addresses using an easily identifiable agent and comply with our robots.txt file. "General purpose internet search engine" does not include a website or search engine or other service that provide classified listings or property rental advertisements, or any subset of the same, or which is in the business of providing holiday property rental services.

We may also remove user-contributed content if it is brought to our attention.
