Certain types of Host Services may be prohibited altogether. Penalties may include fines or other enforcement. We provide some information in our Help Center to help you identify some of the obligations that apply to you.

1.1 The Take On Adventure Platform is an online marketplace that enables registered users (“Members”) and certain third parties who offer services (Members and third parties who offer services are “Hosts” and the services they offer are “Host Services”) to publish such Host Services on the Take On Adventure Platform (“Listings”) and to communicate and transact directly with Members that are seeking to book such Host Services (Members using Host Services are “Guests”). Host Services may include the offering of vacation or other properties for use (“Accommodations“), single or multi-day activities in various categories (“Experiences”), access to unique events and locations (“Events”), and a variety of other travel and non-travel related services. 1.2 As the provider of the Take On Adventure Platform, Take On Adventure does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Listings or Host Services. Hosts alone are responsible for their Listings and Host Services. When Members make or accept a booking, they are entering into a contract directly with each other. Take On Adventure is not and does not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between Members, nor is Take On Adventure a real estate broker or insurer. Take On Adventure is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member, except as specified in the Payments Terms or for properties owned or operated by James R. Bassett under the umbrella of the Take On Adventure Company / S Corporation. 1.3 While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, Take On Adventure has no control over and does not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Listings or Host Services, (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions, Ratings, Reviews, or other Member Content (as defined below), or (iii) the performance or conduct of any Member or third party. Take On Adventure does not endorse any Member, Listing or Host Services. Any references to a Member being “verified” (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification or identification process and nothing else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by Take On Adventure about any Member, including of the Member’s identity or background or whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. You should always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to stay in an Accommodation, participate in an Experience or Event or use other Host Services, accept a booking request from a Guest, or communicate and interact with other Members, whether online or in person. Verified Images (as defined below) are intended only to indicate a photographic representation of a Listing at the time the photograph was taken, and are therefore not an endorsement by Take On Adventure of any Host or Listing. 1.4 If you choose to use the Take On Adventure Platform as a Host or Co-Host (as defined below), your relationship with Take On Adventure is limited to being an independent, third-party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of Take On Adventure for any reason, and you act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of Take On Adventure. 1.5 To promote the Take On Adventure Platform and to increase the exposure of Listings to potential Guests, Listings and other Member Content may be displayed on other websites, in applications, within emails, and in online and offline advertisements. To assist Members who speak different languages, Listings and other Member Content may be translated, in whole or in part, into other languages. Take On Adventure cannot guarantee the accuracy or quality of such translations and Members are responsible for reviewing and verifying the accuracy of such translations. The Take On Adventure Platform may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties for merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and noninfringement. 1.6 The Take On Adventure Platform may contain links to third-party websites or resources (“Third-Party Services”).

Links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by Take On Adventure of such Third-Party Services. 1.7 Due to the nature of the Internet, Take On Adventure cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of the Take On Adventure Platform. Take On Adventure may restrict the availability of the Take On Adventure Platform or certain areas or features thereof, if this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of the Take On Adventure Platform. Take On Adventure may improve, enhance and modify the Take On Adventure Platform and introduce new Take On Adventure Services from time to time.

For example, we may allow Members associated with an Enterprise (as defined in our Privacy Policy) to book for other Members, or we may allow Hosts to add other Members as Co-Hosts (as defined below) to help manage their Listings.

You are responsible for ensuring that your Host Service is accurately represented in the Verified Images and you will stop using the Verified Images on or through the Take On Adventure Platform if they no longer accurately represent your Listing, if you stop hosting the Host Service featured, or if your Take On Adventure Account is terminated or suspended for any reason. You acknowledge and agree that Take On Adventure shall have the right to use any Verified Images in advertising, marketing and/or any other business purposes in any media or platform, whether in relation to your Listing or otherwise, without further notice or compensation to you.

You are responsible for keeping your Listing information (including calendar availability) up-to-date at all times. 7.1.2 You are solely responsible for setting a price (including any Taxes if applicable) for your Listing (“Listing Fee”). Once a Guest requests a booking of your Listing, you may not request that the Guest pays a higher price than in the booking request. 7.1.3 Any terms and conditions included in your Listing, in particular in relation to cancellations, must not conflict with these Terms or the cancellation policy you have selected for your Listing. 7.1.4 Pictures, animations or videos (collectively, “Images“) used in your Listings must accurately reflect the quality and condition of your Host Services. Take On Adventure reserves the right to require that Listings have a minimum number of Images of a certain format, size and resolution. 7.1.5 The placement and ranking of Listings in search results on the Take On Adventure Platform may vary and depend on a variety of factors, such as Guest search parameters and preferences, Host requirements, price and calendar availability, number and quality of Images, customer service and cancellation history, Reviews and Ratings, type of Host Service, and/or ease of booking. 7.1.6 When you accept or have pre-approved a booking request by a Guest, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with the Guest and are required to provide your Host Service(s) to the Guest as described in your Listing when the booking request is made. You also agree to pay the applicable Host Fee and any applicable Taxes, which will be collected pursuant to the Payments Terms. 7.1.7 Take On Adventure recommends that Hosts obtain appropriate insurance for their Host Services. Please review any respective insurance policy carefully, and in particular 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 Guests (and the individuals the Guest has booked for, if applicable) while staying at your Accommodation or participating in your Experience, Event or other Host Service. 7.2 Listing Accommodations 7.2.1 You may only list one Accommodation per Listing. 7.2.2 If you choose to require a security deposit for your Accommodation, you must specify this in your Listing (“Security Deposit“). Hosts are not allowed to ask for a Security Deposit after a booking has been confirmed or outside of the Take On Adventure Platform. Take On Adventure will use commercially reasonable efforts to address Hosts’ requests and claims related to Security Deposits, but Take On Adventure is not responsible for administering or accepting any claims by Hosts related to Security Deposits. 7.2.3 You represent and warrant that any Listing you post and the booking of, or a Guest’s stay at, an Accommodation will (i) not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, such as homeowners association, condominium, or other agreements, and (ii) comply with all applicable laws (such as zoning laws), Tax requirements, and other rules and regulations (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations). As a Host, 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 Guest (and the individuals the Guest invites to the Accommodation, if applicable). 7.3 Listing Experiences, Events and other Host Services 7.3.1 To list an Experience, Event or other Host Service, you must create a Listing and submit the Experience, Event or Host Service to Take On Adventure. To be considered for publishing on the Take On Adventure Platform, Experiences, Events or other Host Services must at all times meet the quality standards for Experiences and meet Guest demand. Take On Adventure reserves the right to decide, in its sole discretion, if a submitted Experience, Event or other Host Service will be published on the Take On Adventure Platform. 7.3.2 When listing an Experience, Event or other Host Service you must, where applicable, fully educate and inform Guests about (i) any risks inherent to the Experience, Event or other Host Service, (ii) any requirements for participation, such as the minimum age, related skills, level of fitness or other requirements, and (iii) anything else they may need to know to safely participate in the Experience, Event or other Host Service (including dress codes, equipment, special certifications or licenses, etc.). 7.3.3 If you wish to list an Experience on behalf of a Nonprofit (“Social Impact Experience”), you must comply with the eligibility requirements for hosting a Social Impact Experience. When listing a Social Impact Experience you (i) represent and warrant that you are duly authorized to act on behalf of your Nonprofit and (ii) acknowledge and agree that all payouts will be directed to an account owned by your Nonprofit. You and your Nonprofit acknowledge that listing a Social Impact Experience does not create a commercial fundraising or co-venturer, or charitable trust relationship with Take On Adventure and Take On Adventure is not a professional fundraiser or commercial participator. Nonprofits, and not Take On Adventure, are responsible for determining what, if any, portion of their Listing Fee is a charitable contribution and for providing Guests charitable tax receipts for any applicable charitable contributions. You and your Nonprofit are solely responsible for complying with all laws that apply to your organization and your Social Impact Experience. 7.3.4 You represent and warrant that you (i) understand and comply with all laws, rules and regulations that may apply to your Experience, Event or other Host Service(s), and (ii) will obtain any required licenses, permits, or registrations prior to providing your Experience, Event or other Host Service(s). You can find additional information about some of the legal obligations that may apply to you on our Responsible Hosting pages. 7.3.5 You must provide an Experience, Event or other Host Service in person and may not allow any third party to provide the Experience, Event or other Host Service on your behalf, unless authorized by Take On Adventure. 7.4 Co-Hosts 7.4.1 Take On Adventure may enable Hosts to authorize other Members (“Co-Hosts”) to administer the Host’s Listing(s), and to bind the Host and take certain actions in relation to the Listing(s) as permitted by the Host, such as accepting booking requests, messaging and welcoming Guests, and updating the Listing Fee and calendar availability (collectively, “Co-Host Services”). Any agreement formed between Host and Co-Host may not conflict with these Terms and the Payments Terms. Co-Hosts may only act in an individual capacity and not on behalf of a company or other organization, unless expressly authorized by Take On Adventure. Take On Adventure reserves the right, in our sole discretion, to limit the number of Co-Hosts a Host may invite for each Listing and to limit the number of Listings a Co-Host may manage. 7.4.2 Hosts and Co-Hosts may agree on a fee (“Co-Host Services Fee”) in consideration for the Co-Host Services provided by the Co-Host. When such an agreement is made, the Host agrees to pay the Co-Host Services Fee for any confirmed booking of their Listing, which will be deducted directly from the Listing Fee after deduction of any applicable Host Fee. In addition, Hosts may instruct a Co-Host to provide certain one-time services in relation to their Listing. Hosts can pay Co-Hosts for one-time services and any other expenses using the Resolution Center. Take On Adventure Payments will process Co-Host Services Fees and Resolution Center payments pursuant to the Payments Terms. 7.4.3 Hosts and Co-Hosts agree that each activity, booking, or other transaction reported on the Take On Adventure Platform, including any Co-Host Services provided by the Co-Host and any amounts due from a Host to the Co-Host for the provision of such services, will be deemed accurate, correct and binding, unless challenged, by notifying the other person and Take On Adventure (by emailing customerservice@TakeOnAdventure.com), within 21 days of posting of the disputed activity, booking or other transaction on the Take On Adventure Platform. 7.4.4 Hosts should exercise due diligence and care when deciding who to add as a Co-Host to their Listing(s). Hosts remain solely responsible and liable for any and all Listings and Member Content published on the Take On Adventure Platform, including any Listing created by a Co-Host on their behalf. Further, Hosts remain responsible and liable for their own acts and omissions, including, but not limited to, conduct that causes harm or damage to the Co-Host(s). Co-Hosts remain responsible and liable for their own acts and omissions when engaging in their roles and responsibilities as a Co-Host, including, but not limited to, conduct that causes harm or damage to the Host. In addition, both Host and Co-Host are jointly responsible and severally liable for third party claims, including Guest claims, arising from the acts and omissions of the other person as related to hosting activities, communications with Guests, and the provision of any Co-Host Services. 7.4.5 Unless agreed otherwise by Host and Co-Host, Host and Co-Host may terminate the Co-Host agreement at any time. In addition, both Host and Co-Host acknowledge that their Co-hosting relationship will terminate in the event that Take On Adventure (i) terminates the Co-Host service or (ii) terminates either party’s participation in the Co-Host service. When the Co-Host agreement is terminated, the Host will remain responsible for all of the Co-Host’s actions prior to the termination, including the responsibility to fulfill any pending or future bookings initiated prior to the termination. When a Member is removed as a Co-Host, that Member will no longer have access to any Host or Guest information related to the applicable Host’s Listing(s). In addition, Host agrees to pay Co-Host for all Co-Host Services completed prior to Co-Host’s termination within 14 days of Co-Host’s termination via the Resolution Center. A Co-Host will not be entitled to any fees for any Co-Host Services that have not been completed prior to the Co-Host’s termination. 7.4.6 As a Co-Host, you will not be reviewed by Guests, meaning that your Co-Host activities will not affect your Reviews or Ratings for other Listings for which you are a Host. Instead, the Host of such Listing(s) will be reviewed by Guests (including potentially on the basis of the Co-Host’s conduct and performance). Hosts acknowledge that Reviews and Ratings from Guests for their Listing(s) may be impacted by a Co-Host’s conduct and performance.
8.1 Terms applicable to all bookings 8.1.1 Subject to meeting any requirements (such as completing any verification processes) set by the Host, you can book a Listing available on the Take On Adventure Platform by following the respective booking process. All applicable fees, including the Listing Fee, Security Deposit (if applicable), Guest Fee and any applicable Taxes (collectively, “Total Fees”) will be presented to you prior to booking a Listing. You agree to pay the Total Fees for any booking requested in connection with your Take On Adventure Account. 8.1.2 Upon receipt of a booking confirmation from Take On Adventure, a legally binding agreement is formed between you and your Host, subject to any additional terms and conditions of the Host that apply, including in particular the applicable cancellation policy and any rules and restrictions specified in the Listing. Take On Adventure Payments will collect the Total Fees at the time of the booking request or upon the Host’s confirmation pursuant to the Payments Terms. 8.1.3 If you book a Host Service on behalf of additional guests, you are required to ensure that every additional guest meets any requirements set by the Host, and is made aware of and agrees to these Terms and any terms and conditions, rules and restrictions set by the Host. If you are booking for an additional guest who is a minor, you represent and warrant that you are legally authorized to act on behalf of the minor. Minors may only participate in an Experience, Event or other Host Service if accompanied by an adult who is responsible for them. 8.2 Booking Accommodations 8.2.1 You understand that a confirmed booking of an Accommodation (“Accommodation Booking”) is a limited license granted to you by the Host to enter, occupy and use the Accommodation for the duration of your stay, during which time the Host (only where and to the extent permitted by applicable law) retains the right to re-enter the Accommodation, in accordance with your agreement with the Host. 8.2.2 You agree to leave the Accommodation no later than the checkout time that the Host specifies in the Listing or such other time as mutually agreed upon between you and the Host. If you stay past the agreed upon checkout time without the Host’s consent (“Overstay”), you no longer have a license to stay in the Accommodation and the Host is entitled to make you leave in a manner consistent with applicable law. In addition, you agree to pay, if requested by the Host, for each twenty-four (24) hour period (or any portion thereof) that you Overstay, an additional nightly fee of up to two (2) times the average nightly Listing Fee originally paid by you to cover the inconvenience suffered by the Host, plus all applicable Guest Fees, Taxes, and any legal expenses incurred by the Host to make you leave (collectively, “Overstay Fees“). Overstay Fees for late checkouts on the checkout date that do not impact upcoming bookings may be limited to the additional costs incurred by the Host as a result of such Overstay. Take On Adventure Payments will collect Overstay Fees from you pursuant to the Payments Terms. A Security Deposit, if required by a Host, may be applied to any Overstay Fees due for a Guest’s Overstay. 8.3 Booking Experiences, Events and other Host Services 8.3.1 You should carefully review the description of any Experience, Event or other Host Service you intend to book to ensure you (and any additional guests you are booking for) meet any minimum age, proficiency, fitness or other requirements which the Host has specified in their Listing. You are required to inform the Host of any medical or physical conditions, or other circumstances that may impact your and any additional guest’s ability to safely participate in any Experience, Event or other Host Service. In addition, certain laws, like the minimum legal drinking age in the location of the Experience, Event or other Host Service, may also apply. You are responsible for identifying, understanding, and complying with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to your participation in an Experience, Event or other Host Service. 8.3.2 Before and during an Experience, Event or other Host Service you must at all times adhere to the Hosts’ instructions. 8.3.3 You may not bring any additional individuals to an Experience, Event or other Host Service unless such an individual was added by you as an additional guest during the booking process on the Take On Adventure Platform.
9.1 Hosts and Guests are responsible for any modifications to a booking that they make via the Take On Adventure Platform or direct Take On Adventure customer service to make (“Booking Modifications“), and agree to pay any additional Listing Fees, Host Fees or Guest Fees and/or Taxes associated with such Booking Modifications. 9.2 Guests can cancel a confirmed booking at any time subject to the Listing’s cancellation policy, and Take On Adventure Payments will provide any refund to the Guest in accordance with such cancellation policy. Unless extenuating circumstances exist, any amounts due to the Host under the applicable cancellation policy will be remitted to the Host by Take On Adventure Payments pursuant to the Payments Terms. 9.3 If a Host cancels a confirmed booking, the Guest will receive a full refund of the Total Fees for such booking and Take On Adventure may publish an automated review on the Listing cancelled by the Host indicating that a booking was cancelled. In addition, Take On Adventure may (i) keep the calendar for the Listing unavailable or blocked for the dates of the cancelled booking, and/or (ii) impose a cancellation fee, unless the Host has a valid reason for cancelling the booking pursuant to Take On Adventure’s Extenuating Circumstances Policy or has legitimate concerns about the Guest’s behavior. 9.4 For Experiences, Events and other Host Services, if inclement weather creates an unsafe or uncomfortable scenario for Guests, Hosts may modify or cancel a Host Service. If there is a substantial change in the itinerary or the Host Service needs to be cancelled, Take On Adventure 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, Take On Adventure 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 Take On Adventure’s Extenuating Circumstances Policy or (i) where Take On Adventure believes in good faith, while taking the legitimate interests of both parties into account, this is necessary to avoid significant harm to Take On Adventure, 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 pursuant to the Guest Refund Policy, Take On Adventure 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 use the Resolution Center to send or request money for refunds, additional Host Services, Co-Host Services or Damage Claims related to bookings. You agree to pay all amounts sent through the Resolution Center in connection with your Take On Adventure Account, and Take On Adventure Payments will handle all such payments pursuant to the Payments Terms.
10.1 Within a certain timeframe 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 Take On Adventure. Ratings and Reviews are not verified by Take On Adventure 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 or defamatory language. Ratings and Reviews must comply with Take On Adventure’s Content Policy and Extortion Policy. 10.3 Members are prohibited from manipulating the Ratings and Reviews system in any manner, such as instructing a third party write a positive or negative Review about another Member.
11.1 As a Guest, you are responsible for leaving the Accommodation (including any personal or other property located at the Accommodation) in the condition it was in when you arrived. 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 Accommodation, excluding the Host (and the individuals the Host invites to the Accommodation, if applicable). 11.2 If a Host claims and provides evidence that you as a Guest have damaged an Accommodation or any personal or other property at an Accommodation (“Damage Claim“), the Host can seek payment from you through the Resolution Center. If a Host escalates a Damage Claim to Take On Adventure, you will be given an opportunity to respond. If you agree to pay the Host, or Take On Adventure determines in its sole discretion that you are responsible for the Damage Claim, Take On Adventure Payments will collect any such sums from you and/or against the Security Deposit (if applicable) required to cover the Damage Claim pursuant to the Payments Terms. Take On Adventure also reserves the right to otherwise collect payment from you and pursue any remedies available to Take On Adventure in this regard in situations in which you are responsible for a Damage Claim, including, but not limited to, in relation to any payment requests made by Hosts under the Take On Adventure Host Guarantee. 11.3 Members agree to cooperate with and assist Take On Adventure in good faith, and to provide Take On Adventure with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Take On Adventure, in connection with any Damage Claims or other complaints or claims made by Members relating to Accommodations or any personal or other property located at an Accommodation (including, without limitation, payment requests made under the Take On Adventure Host Guarantee), Experiences, or Co-Host agreements. A Member shall, upon Take On Adventure’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 Take On Adventure or a third party selected by Take On Adventure or its insurer, with respect to losses for which a Member is requesting payment from Take On Adventure (including but not limited to payments under the Take On Adventure Host Guarantee). 11.4 If you are a Guest or a Co-Host, you understand and agree that Take On Adventure 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 an Accommodation or any personal or other property located at an Accommodation (including without limitation amounts paid by Take On Adventure under the Take On Adventure Host Guarantee). You agree to cooperate with and assist Take On Adventure in good faith, and to provide Take On Adventure with such information as may be reasonably requested by Take On Adventure, 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 Take On Adventure may reasonably request to assist Take On Adventure in accomplishing the foregoing.
12.1 Take On Adventure may, in its sole discretion, round up or round down amounts that are payable from or to Guests or Hosts to the nearest whole functional base unit in which the currency is denominated (i.e. to the nearest dollar, euro or other supported currency); for example, Take On Adventure will round up an amount of $101.50 to $102.00, and round down an amount of $101.49 to $101.00. For currencies that are denominated in large numbers, Take On Adventure may determine the functional base unit in which those currencies are denominated to be 10, 100 or 1,000 of the currency; for example, Take On Adventure may round up an amount of 1,045 up to 1,050 and 1,044 down to 1,040, or 837,500 up to 838,000 and 837,499 down to 837,000. 12.2 The Take On Adventure Platform facilitates bookings between Guests and Hosts who may prefer to pay in a currency different from their destination currency, which may require currency conversions to accommodate these differing currency preferences. Although the Take On Adventure Platform allows Members to view the price of Listings in a number of currencies, the currencies available for Members to make and receive payments may be limited, and may not include the default currency in any given geographic location. Details regarding currency conversion, including any associated fees, are detailed in the Payments Terms.
13.1 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 or income taxes (“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, 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, Take On Adventure 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 Take On Adventure 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 Take On Adventure (via Take On Adventure Payments) 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 Take On Adventure will be visible to and separately stated to both Guests and Hosts on their respective transaction documents. Where Take On Adventure is facilitating Collection and Remittance, Hosts are not permitted to collect any Occupancy Taxes being collected by Take On Adventure relating to their Accommodations in that jurisdiction. 13.5 You agree that any claim or cause of action relating to Take On Adventure’s facilitation of Collection and Remittance of Occupancy Taxes shall not extend to any supplier or vendor that may be used by Take On Adventure 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 Take On Adventure from the applicable Tax Authority in accordance with applicable procedures set by that Tax Authority. 13.6 Take On Adventure 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 You are solely responsible for compliance with any and all laws, rules, regulations, and Tax obligations that may apply to your use of the Take On Adventure Platform. In connection with your use of the Take On Adventure Platform, you will not and will not assist or enable others to:
14.2 You acknowledge that Take On Adventure has no obligation to monitor the access to or use of the Take On Adventure 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 Take On Adventure 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 Take On Adventure in good faith, and to provide Take On Adventure with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Take On Adventure with respect to any investigation undertaken by Take On Adventure or a representative of Take On Adventure regarding the use or abuse of the Take On Adventure 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 Take On Adventure by contacting 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.
15.1 This Agreement shall be effective for a 30-day term, at the end of which it will automatically and continuously renew for subsequent 30-day terms until such time when you or Take On Adventure terminate the Agreement in accordance with this provision. 15.2 You may terminate this Agreement at any time via the “Cancel Account” feature on the Take On Adventure Platform or by sending us an email. If you cancel your Take On Adventure Account as a Host, any confirmed booking(s) will be automatically cancelled and your Guests will receive a full refund. If you cancel your Take On Adventure Account as a Guest, any confirmed booking(s) will be automatically cancelled and any refund will depend upon the terms of the Listing’s cancellation policy. 15.3 Without limiting our rights specified below, Take On Adventure may terminate this Agreement for convenience at any time by giving you thirty (30) days’ notice via email to your registered email address. 15.4 Take On Adventure may immediately, without notice terminate this Agreement if (i) you have materially breached your obligations under these Terms, the Payments Terms, our Policies or Standards, (ii) you have violated applicable laws, regulations or third party rights, or (iii) Take On Adventure believes in good faith that such action is reasonably necessary to protect the personal safety or property of Take On Adventure, its Members, or third parties (for example in the case of fraudulent behavior of a Member). 15.5 In addition, Take On Adventure may take any of the following measures (i) to comply with applicable law, or the order or request of a court, law enforcement or other administrative agency or governmental body, or if (ii) you have breached these Terms, the Payments Terms, our Policies or Standards, applicable laws, regulations, or third party rights, (iii) you have provided inaccurate, fraudulent, outdated or incomplete information during the Take On Adventure Account registration, Listing process or thereafter, (iv) you and/or your Listings or Host Services at any time fail to meet any applicable quality or eligibility criteria, (v) you have repeatedly received poor Ratings or Reviews or Take On Adventure otherwise becomes aware of or has received complaints about your performance or conduct, (vi) you have repeatedly cancelled confirmed bookings or failed to respond to booking requests without a valid reason, or (vii) Take On Adventure believes in good faith that such action is reasonably necessary to protect the personal safety or property of Take On Adventure, its Members, or third parties, or to prevent fraud or other illegal activity:
In case of non-material breaches and where appropriate, you will be given notice of any intended measure by Take On Adventure and an opportunity to resolve the issue to Take On Adventure’s reasonable satisfaction. 15.6 If we take any of the measures described above (i) we may refund your Guests in full for any and all confirmed bookings that have been cancelled, irrespective of preexisting cancellation policies, and (ii) you will not be entitled to any compensation for pending or confirmed bookings that were cancelled. 15.7 When this Agreement has been terminated, you are not entitled to a restoration of your Take On Adventure Account or any of your Member Content. If your access to or use of the Take On Adventure Platform has been limited or your Take On Adventure Account has been suspended or this Agreement has been terminated by us, you may not register a new Take On Adventure Account or access and use the Take On Adventure Platform through an Take On Adventure Account of another Member. 15.8 Unless you reside in Germany, if you or we terminate this Agreement, the clauses of these Terms that reasonably should survive termination of the Agreement will remain in effect.
If you choose to use the Take On Adventure Platform or Collective Content, you do so voluntarily and at your sole risk. The Take On Adventure Platform and Collective Content is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, either express or implied. You agree that you have had whatever opportunity you deem necessary to investigate the Take On Adventure 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 Take On Adventure relating to a Listing. 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. You agree that some Experiences, 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 are bringing a minor as an additional guest, you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor throughout the duration of your Host Service and to the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to release and hold harmless Take On Adventure 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 Service or in any way related to your Host Service. 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 Unless you reside in the EU, you acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Take On Adventure Platform and Collective Content, your publishing or booking of any Listing via the Take On Adventure Platform, your stay at any Accommodation, participation in any Experience or Event or use of any other Host Service or any other interaction you have with other Members whether in person or online remains with you. Neither Take On Adventure nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Take On Adventure Platform or Collective Content will be liable for any incidental, special, 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 or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with (i) these Terms, (ii) from the use of or inability to use the Take On Adventure 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 Take On Adventure Platform, or (iv) from your publishing or booking of a Listing, including the provision or use of a Listing’s Host Services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not Take On Adventure 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 or an approved payment request under the Take On Adventure Host Guarantee, in no event will Take On Adventure’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms and your use of the Take On Adventure Platform including, but not limited to, from your publishing or booking of any Listings via the Take On Adventure Platform, or from the use of or inability to use the Take On Adventure Platform or Collective Content and in connection with any Accommodation, Experiences, Event or other Host Service, or interactions with any other Members, exceed the amounts you have paid or owe for bookings via the Take On Adventure 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 Take On Adventure 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), 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 Take On Adventure 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 Take On Adventure’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 If you reside in the EU, Take On Adventure is liable under statutory provisions for intent and gross negligence by us, our legal representatives, directors, or other vicarious agents. The same applies to the assumption of guarantees or any other strict liability, or in case of a culpable injury to life, limb, or health. Take On Adventure is liable for any negligent breaches of essential contractual obligations by us, our legal representatives, directors, or other vicarious agents. Essential contractual obligations are such duties of Take On Adventure in whose proper fulfilment you regularly trust and must trust for the proper execution of the contract but the amount shall be limited to the typically occurring foreseeable damage. Any additional liability of Take On Adventure is excluded.
You agree to release, defend (at Take On Adventure’s option), indemnify, and hold Take On Adventure and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their officers, directors, employees 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 or Standards, (ii) your improper use of the Take On Adventure Platform or any Take On Adventure Services, (iii) your interaction with any Member, stay at an Accommodation, participation in an Experience, 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) Take On Adventure’s Collection and Remittance of Occupancy Taxes, or (v) your breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights.
19.1 This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement shall apply if you (i) reside in the United States; or (ii) do not reside in the United States, but bring any claim against Take On Adventure in the United States (to the extent not in conflict with Section 21). 19.2 Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. Take On Adventure is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process for individuals to whom Section 19.1 applies: (1) an informal negotiation directly with Take On Adventure’s customer service team, and (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) using its specially designed Consumer Arbitration Rules (as modified by this Section 19). Specifically, the process provides:
19.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and Take On Adventure each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact Take On Adventure’s customer service team by emailing us. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the AAA and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA Rules. 19.4 Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Take On Adventure mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or to the use of the Take On Adventure Platform, the Host Services, or the Collective Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and Take On Adventure agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue. 19.5 Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and Take On Adventure each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) Any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) Any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack). 19.6 Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1–800–778–7879. 19.7 Modification to AAA Rules – Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, Take On Adventure agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option, (a) in the county where you reside; (b) in Washington County; (c) in any other location to which you and Take On Adventure both agree; (d) via phone or video conference; or (e) for any claim or counterclaim under $25,000, by solely the submission of documents to the arbitrator. 19.8 Modification of AAA Rules – Attorney’s Fees and Costs. You may be entitled to seek an award of attorney fees and expenses if you prevail in arbitration, to the extent provided under applicable law and the AAA rules. Unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous or filed for the purpose of harassment, Take On Adventure agrees it will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law or the AAA rules, to recover attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration. 19.9 Arbitrator’s Decision. 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 with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. 19.10 Jury Trial Waiver. You and Take On Adventure acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes. 19.11 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and Take On Adventure acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney-general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless you and Take On Adventure both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this paragraph is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute. 19.12 Severability. Except as provided in Section 19.11, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect. 19.13 Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 (“Modification of these Terms”), if Take On Adventure changes this Section 19 (“Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement”) after the date you last 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 thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of Take On Adventure’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 Take On Adventure in accordance with the provisions of the “Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement” section as of the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms). 19.14 Survival. Except as provided in Section 19.12 and subject to Section 15.8, this Section 19 will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the Take On Adventure Platform or terminate your Take On Adventure Account.
We welcome and encourage you to provide feedback, comments and suggestions for improvements to the Take On Adventure Platform (“Feedback“). You may submit Feedback by emailing us, through the “Contact” section of the Take On Adventure Platform, or by other means of communication.

By submitting Feedback to us, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, sub-licensable, perpetual license to use and publish those ideas and materials for any purpose, without compensation to you.
21.1 If you reside in the United States, these Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah and the United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions) that are excluded from the Arbitration Agreement in Section 19 must be brought in state or federal court in St George, Utah, unless we both agree to some other location. You and we both consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in St George, Utah. 21.2 If you reside in China these Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of China (“China Laws”). Any dispute arising from or in connection with this Agreement shall be submitted to the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) for arbitration in Beijing which shall be conducted in accordance with CIETAC’s arbitration rules in effect at the time of applying for arbitration, provided that this section shall not be construed to limit any rights which Take On Adventure may have to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an order requiring you to perform or be prohibited from performing certain acts and other provisional relief permitted under China Laws or any other laws that may apply to you. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English. The arbitral award rendered is final and binding upon both parties. 21.3 If you reside outside of the United States and China, these Terms will be interpreted in accordance with Irish law. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded. The choice of law does not impact your rights as a consumer according to the consumer protection regulations of your country of residence. If you are acting as a consumer, you agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts. Judicial proceedings that you are able to bring against us arising from or in connection with these Terms may only be brought in a court located in Ireland or a court with jurisdiction in your place of residence. If Take On Adventure wishes to enforce any of its rights against you as a consumer, we may do so only in the courts of the jurisdiction in which you are a resident. If you are acting as a business, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts.
22.1 Except as they may be supplemented by additional terms and conditions, policies, guidelines or standards, these Terms constitute the entire Agreement between Take On Adventure and you pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Take On Adventure and you in relation to the access to and use of the Take On Adventure Platform. 22.2 No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Take On Adventure as a result of this Agreement or your use of the Take On Adventure Platform. 22.3 These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties. 22.4 If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be struck and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. 22.5 Take On Adventure’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing. 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 permitted under law. 22.6 You may not assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement and your rights and obligations hereunder without Take On Adventure’s prior written consent. Take On Adventure may without restriction assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement and any rights and obligations hereunder, at its sole discretion, with 30 days prior notice. Your right to terminate this Agreement at any time remains unaffected. 22.7 Unless specified otherwise, any notices or other communications to Members permitted or required under this Agreement, will be in writing and given by Take On Adventure via email, Take On Adventure Platform notification, or messaging service (including SMS and WeChat). For notices made to Members residing outside of Germany, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which Take On Adventure transmits the notice. 22.8 If you reside in the EU you can access the European Commission’s online dispute resolution platform here: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Please note that Take On Adventure Ireland is not committed nor obliged to use an alternative dispute resolution entity to resolve disputes with consumers. 22.9 If you have any questions about these Terms please email us.

IT AFFECTS HOW DISPUTES WITH TAKE ON ADVENTURE ARE RESOLVED. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS. THESE INCLUDE VARIOUS LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS, A CLAUSE THAT GOVERNS THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF DISPUTES, AND OBLIGATIONS TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS. IN PARTICULAR, HOSTS SHOULD UNDERSTAND HOW THE LAWS WORK IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CITIES. SOME CITIES HAVE LAWS THAT RESTRICT THEIR ABILITY TO HOST PAYING GUESTS FOR SHORT PERIODS. THESE LAWS ARE OFTEN PART OF A CITY’S ZONING OR ADMINISTRATIVE CODES. IN MANY CITIES, HOSTS MUST REGISTER, GET A PERMIT, OR OBTAIN A LICENSE BEFORE LISTING A PROPERTY OR ACCEPTING GUESTS.

In order to access certain features of the Site and Application, and to book an Accommodation or create a Listing, you must register to create an account (“Take On Adventure Account“) and become a Member. You may register to join the Services directly via the Site or Application or as described in this section. You can also register to join by logging into your account with certain third-party social networking sites (“SNS“) (including, but not limited to, Facebook; each such account, a “Third-Party Account“), via our Site or Application, as described below. As part of the functionality of the Site, Application and Services, you may link your Take On Adventure Account with Third-Party Accounts, by either: (i) providing your Third-Party Account login information to Take On Adventure through the Site, Services or Application; or (ii) allowing Take On Adventure to access your Third-Party Account, as permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third-Party Account. You represent that you are entitled to disclose your Third-Party Account login information to Take On Adventure and/or grant Take On Adventure access to your Third-Party Account (including, but not limited to, for use for the purposes described herein), without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable Third-Party Account and without obligating Take On Adventure to pay any fees or making Take On Adventure subject to any usage limitations imposed by such third-party service providers. By granting Take On Adventure access to any Third-Party Accounts, you understand that Take On Adventure will access, make available and store (if applicable) any Content that you have provided to and stored in your Third-Party Account (“SNS Content“) so that it is available on and through the Site, Services and Application via your Take On Adventure Account and Take On Adventure Account profile page. Unless otherwise specified in these Terms, all SNS Content, if any, will be considered to be Member Content for all purposes of these Terms. Depending on the Third-Party Accounts you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third-Party Accounts, personally identifiable information that you post to your Third-Party Accounts will be available on and through your Take On Adventure Account on the Site, Services and Application. Please note that if a Third-Party Account or associated service becomes unavailable or Take On Adventure’s access to such Third-Party Account is terminated by the third-party service provider, then SNS Content will no longer be available on and through the Site, Services and Application. You have the ability to disable the connection between your Take On Adventure Account and your Third-Party Accounts, at any time, by accessing the “Settings” section of the Site and Application. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS. Take On Adventure makes no effort to review any SNS Content for any purpose, including but not limited to for accuracy, legality or non-infringement and Take On Adventure is not responsible for any SNS Content. Your Take On Adventure Account and your Take On Adventure Account profile page will be created for your use of the Site and Application based upon the personal information you provide to us or that we obtain via an SNS as described above. You may not have more than one (1) active Take On Adventure Account. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current and complete. Take On Adventure reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Take On Adventure Account and your access to the Site, Application and Services if you create more than one (1) Take On Adventure Account, or if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, fraudulent, not current, incomplete, or otherwise in violation of these Terms of Service. You are responsible for safeguarding your password. You agree that you will not disclose your password to any third party. Unless expressly authorized by a specific feature on Take On Adventure, you are not permitted to share your Take On Adventure Account with anyone or allow others to access or use your Take On Adventure Account. Take On Adventure may enable features, in our discretion, that allow other Members to take certain actions associated with your Take On Adventure Account, on your behalf with your express authorization, such as having your executive assistant, travel agent, or employer book on your behalf or adding a family member to your account as an additional Host. You agree that you will take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your Take On Adventure Account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. You will immediately notify Take On Adventure of any unauthorized use of your Take On Adventure Account.
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. 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, Guest and Host preferences, ratings and/or ease of Booking. Other Members will be able to book your Accommodation via the Site, Application and Services based upon the information provided in your Listing, your Guest requirements, and Guests’ search parameters and preferences. You understand and agree that once a Guest requests a Booking of your Accommodation, you may not request the Guest 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 Guest’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, or other third party agreements, and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws (such as zoning laws), Tax requirements, Intellectual Property laws, 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 Take On Adventure assumes no responsibility for a Host’s compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations. Take On Adventure reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Listing for any reason, including Listings that Take On Adventure, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms or Take On Adventure’s then-current Policies and Community Guidelines or Standards, Trademark & Branding Guidelines, or otherwise harmful to the Site, Application or Services. If you are a Host, you understand and agree that Take On Adventure does not act as an insurer or as your contracting agent. If a Guest requests a Booking of your Accommodation and stays at your Accommodation, any agreement you enter into with such Guest is between you and the Guest and Take On Adventure is not a party to it. 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 “Hosting” section of the Site, Application and Services. If you are a Host, Take On Adventure 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 Host, 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 Guest (and the individuals the Guest invites to the Accommodation, if applicable.) Take On Adventure recommends that Hosts 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 or relating to Guests (and the individuals the Guest invites to the Accommodation, if applicable) while at your Accommodation. Please also review such policy for any interaction with the Take On Adventure Host Protection Insurance Program, to the extent provided in your jurisdiction. Take On Adventure may offer Hosts the option of having photographers take photographs of their Accommodations. If you as a Host choose to have photographer do this, Take On Adventure 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 “TakeOnAdventure.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 Host for the Listing featured. All images, materials and content created by these photographers, including Verified Images, constitute Take On Adventure 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 Take On Adventure. If your Take On Adventure Account is terminated or suspended for any reason, you shall not use Verified Images in any way. You agree that Take On Adventure 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.
Take On Adventure does not endorse any Member, Listing or 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 Take On Adventure of any Member, Listing or Accommodation. Members are required by these Terms to provide accurate information. Although Take On Adventure 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 an Take On Adventure Account, you agree that Take On Adventure 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, Application 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 Take On Adventure 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 Host or to accept or preapprove a Booking request from a Guest, or to have any other interaction with any other Member. Except as provided in the Take On Adventure Host Guarantee Terms and Conditions (“Take On Adventure Host Guarantee“), which is an agreement between Take On Adventure and Hosts, 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 Take On Adventure 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 Host against Take On Adventure regarding the remittance of payments received from a Guest by Take On Adventure on behalf of a Host, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled “Limitation of Liability”.
“Accommodation Fees” means the amounts that are due and payable by a Guest in exchange for that Guest’s stay in an Accommodation. The Host alone, and not Take On Adventure, is responsible for the Accommodation Fees for his or her Listing. The Host may in his or her sole discretion decide to include in these amounts (i) a cleaning fee or any other fee permitted on the Take On Adventure platform, or (ii) Taxes that the Host determines that he or she has to collect. “Guest Fees” means the fee that Take On Adventure charges a Guest for the use of the Services, which is calculated as a percentage of the applicable Accommodation Fees. The Guest Fees will be displayed to the Guest when the Guest is asked whether to send a Booking request to a Host. “Host Fees” means the fee that Take On Adventure charges a Host for the use of the Services, which is calculated as a percentage of the applicable Accommodation Fees. “Payment Method” means a payment method that you have added to your Take On Adventure Account, such as a credit card, debit card or PayPal. “Service Fees” means collectively the Guest Fees and the Host Fees. “Total Fees” means collectively the Accommodation Fees and the Guest Fees plus any Taxes.
If you are a Host and a Booking is requested for your Accommodation via the Site, Application 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, Application or Services, we will share with you (i) the first and last name of the Guest who has requested the Booking, (ii) a link to the Guest’s Take On Adventure Account profile page, (iii) if the Guest and Host have both connected their Take On Adventure accounts to SNS and have not turned off sharing of social connections, the names of any shared connections on such SNS, and (iv) an indication of whether or not the Guest has provided other information to Take On Adventure, such as a verified email address, connection to SNSs, or a government ID. If you are unable to confirm or decide to reject a Booking request within the Booking Request Period, any amounts collected by Take On Adventure (via Take On Adventure Payments) for the requested Booking will be refunded to the applicable Guest. When you confirm a Booking requested by a Guest, Take On Adventure will send you a Communication confirming such Booking, depending on the selections you make via the Site, Application and Services. Take On Adventure Payments will collect the Total Fees from Guests at the time of the Booking request or upon the Host’s confirmation and will initiate payment of the Accommodation Fees (less applicable fees and taxes) to the Host at the time and as further described in the Payments Terms. Each Host agrees that Take On Adventure may, in accordance with the cancellation policy selected by the Host and reflected in the relevant Listing, (i) permit the Guest to cancel the Booking and (ii) refund (via Take On Adventure Payments) to the Guest that portion of the Accommodation Fees specified in the applicable cancellation policy.
The Hosts, not Take On Adventure, are solely responsible for honoring any confirmed Bookings and making available any Accommodations reserved through the Site, Application and Services. If you, as a Guest, choose to enter into a transaction with a Host for the Booking of an Accommodation, you agree and understand that you will be required to enter into an agreement with the Host and you agree to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with such Accommodation imposed by the Host. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not Take On Adventure, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any such agreements, that Take On Adventure is not a party to such agreements, and that, with the exception of Take On Adventure Payments’ obligations pursuant to the Payments Terms, Take On Adventure (inclusive of all subsidiaries) disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements. The Total Fees payable will be displayed to a Guest before the Guest sends a Booking request to a Host. As noted above, the Host is required to either preapprove, confirm or reject the Booking request within the Booking Request Period; otherwise, the requested Booking will be automatically cancelled. Upon receipt of your Booking request, Take On Adventure Payments may initiate a pre-authorization and/or charge a nominal amount to your Payment Method pursuant to the Payments Terms. If a requested Booking is cancelled (i.e. not confirmed by the applicable Host), any amounts collected by Take On Adventure Payments will be refunded to such Guest, depending on the selections the Guest makes via the Site and Application, and any pre-authorization of such Guest’s Payment Method will be released, if applicable. You as a Guest agree to pay the Total Fees for any Booking requested, and in most cases confirmed, in connection with your Take On Adventure Account. Take On Adventure Payments will collect the Total Fees pursuant to the Payments Terms. Once your confirmed Booking transaction is complete you will receive a confirmation Communication summarizing your confirmed Booking.
In consideration for the use of Take On Adventure’s online marketplace and platform, Take On Adventure charges Service Fees. Take On Adventure Payments collects these Service Fees pursuant to the Payments Terms, and, where applicable, may also collect Taxes (such as VAT in Europe) in respect of the Host Fees and Guest Fees. Take On Adventure Payments deducts the Host Fees from the Accommodation Fees before remitting the balance to the Host as described in the Payments Terms. Guest Fees are, as noted above, included in the Total Fees. Applicable Guest Fees, as well as Taxes collected by Take On Adventure, will be shown to Guests via the Site and Application at checkout, prior to their submission of a Booking request. And, Take On Adventure will disclose applicable Host Fees to Hosts via the Site and Application. More information on Services Fees can be found at the Take On Adventure Help Center.
Cancellations and Refunds If, as a Guest, you wish to cancel a confirmed Booking made via the Site, Application and Services, either prior to or after arriving at the Accommodation, the cancellation policy of the Host contained in the applicable Listing will apply to such cancellation. Our ability to refund the Accommodation Fees, Guest Fees and other amounts charged to you will depend upon the terms of the applicable cancellation policy. Details regarding refunds and cancellation policies are available via the Site and Application. The Guest Fee is non-refundable unless otherwise indicated in the cancellation policy selected by the Host. Take On Adventure Payments will initiate any refunds due pursuant to the Payments Terms. If a Host cancels a confirmed Booking made via the Site, Services, and Application, (i) Take On Adventure Payments will refund the Total Fees for such Booking to the applicable Guest pursuant to the Payments Terms and (ii) the Guest will receive a Communication from Take On Adventure containing alternative Listings and other related information. If the Guest requests a Booking from one of the alternative Listings and the Host associated with such alternative Listing confirms the Guest’s requested Booking, then the Guest agrees to pay Take On Adventure the Total Fees relating to the confirmed Booking for the Accommodation in the alternative Listing, in accordance with these Terms. If a Host cancelled a confirmed Booking and you, as a Guest, have not received a Communication from Take On Adventure, please contact Take On Adventure. If, as a Host, you cancel a confirmed Booking, you agree that Take On Adventure may apply penalties or consequences to you or your Listing, including (i) publishing an automated review on your Listing indicating that a Booking was cancelled, (ii) keeping the calendar for your Listing unavailable or blocked for the dates of the cancelled Booking, or (iii) imposing a cancellation fee. You will be notified of the situations in which a cancellation fee applies before you decide to cancel. In certain circumstances, Take On Adventure may decide, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary or desirable to cancel a confirmed Booking made via the Site, Application and Services. This may be for reasons set forth in Take On Adventure’s Extenuating Circumstances Policy or for any other reason. Take On Adventure may also determine, in its sole discretion, to refund to the Guest part or all of the amounts charged to the Guest in accordance with the Guest Refund Policy or in connection with a cancellation under Take On Adventure’s Extenuating Circumstances Policy. You agree that Take On Adventure and the relevant Guest or Host will not have any liability for such cancellations or refunds. Resolution Center Members may use the Resolution Center to send or request money for refunds, services or damages related to their Bookings. You agree to pay all amounts sent through the Resolution Center in connection with your Take On Adventure Account, and Take On Adventure Payments will handle all such payments pursuant to the Payments Terms. When a Member agrees to provide services or amenities to another Member via the Resolution Center, both parties acknowledge and agree that they, and not Take On Adventure, will be responsible for performing their respective obligations of any such agreements, that Take On Adventure is not a party to such agreements, and that, with the exception of Take On Adventure Payments’ obligations pursuant to the Payments Terms, Take On Adventure (inclusive of all subsidiaries) disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements and the services or amenities provided. Rounding Off Take On Adventure may, in its sole discretion, round up or round down amounts that are payable from or to Guests or Hosts to the nearest whole functional base unit in which the currency is denominated (e.g. to the nearest dollar, euro or other supported currency); for example, Take On Adventure will round up an amount of 102.00, and 101.00. Some currencies are denominated in large numbers. In those cases, Take On Adventure may determine the functional base unit in which those currencies are denominated to be 10, 100 or 1,000 of the currency; the corresponding examples for such currencies would be for Take On Adventure to round up an amount of 1,045 up to 1,050 and 1,044 down to 1,040, or 35,450 up to 35,500 and 35,449 down to 35,400, or 837,500 up to 838,000 and 837,499 down to 837,000. Donations Some Hosts may pledge to donate a portion of the funds they receive from confirmed Bookings made via the Site, Application and Services to aparticular cause or charity. We do not take any responsibility orliability for whether the Host does in fact make the donation he or shepledged to make. In such cases, the Host in question is responsible forhis or her own compliance with all laws and regulations applicable tosuch pledges and/or fund-raising. Booking Modifications You as a Guest or Host are responsible for any modifications to a Booking that you direct Take On Adventure Customer Service to make (“Booking Modifications“), and you agree to pay any Accommodation Fees, Guest Fees, Hosts Fees, Services Fees, and/or Taxes associated with such Booking Modifications.
Tax regulations may require us to collect appropriate tax information from our Hosts, or to withhold taxes from payouts to Hosts, or both. For instance, IRS regulations stipulate that we must collect an IRS Form W–9 from certain US Hosts, and an appropriate IRS Form W–8 (e.g. Form W–8BEN) from non-US hosts with at least one Listing in the US. You as a Host are solely responsible for keeping the information in your tax forms current, complete and accurate. If you as a Host 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 Host and you fail to provide us with a completed IRS 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 Host 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. Take On Adventure cannot and does not offer Tax-related advice to any Members. Where applicable, or based upon request from a Host, Take On Adventure may issue a valid VAT invoice to such Host. 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 Guests or Hosts 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 Accommodation Fees set by Hosts, 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“).
In certain jurisdictions, Take On Adventure may decide in its sole discretion to facilitate collection and remittance of Occupancy Taxes from or on behalf of Guests or Hosts, in accordance with your directions in these Terms (“Collection and Remittance”) if such tax jurisdiction asserts Take On Adventure or Hosts have a tax collection and remittance obligation. In any jurisdiction in which we decide to facilitate direct Collection and Remittance, whether you are a Guest or Host, in lieu of the Host collecting Occupancy taxes from Guests and remitting to the Tax Authority, you hereby instruct and authorize Take On Adventure (via Take On Adventure Payments) to collect Occupancy Taxes from Guests on the Host’s behalf at the time Accommodation Fees are collected, and to remit such Occupancy Taxes to the Tax Authority. When Take On Adventure facilitates Collection and Remittance of Occupancy Taxes in a jurisdiction for the first time, Take On Adventure will provide notice to existing Hosts with Listings for Accommodations in such jurisdictions. When a new Listing is created in a jurisdiction where Take On Adventure facilitates Collection and Remittance of Occupancy Taxes, the Host will be notified in the Listing creation flow. The amount of Occupancy Taxes, if any, collected and remitted by Take On Adventure will be visible to and separately stated to both Guests and Hosts on their respective transaction documents. Where Take On Adventure is directly facilitating Collection and Remittance, Guests and Hosts agree that Hosts are not permitted to attempt collection, or collect any Occupancy Taxes being collected by Take On Adventure relating to their Accommodations on Take On Adventure in that such jurisdiction. You expressly agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold Take On Adventure and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, debts, obligations, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and/or accounting fees, arising out of or in any way related to Occupancy Taxes, including, without limitation, the applicability of, calculation, collection or remittance of Occupancy Taxes in any amount or at all as to your transactions or Accommodations. For any jurisdiction in which we facilitate Collection and Remittance, Hosts and Guests expressly grant us permission, without further notice, to store, transfer and disclose data and other information relating to them or to their transactions, Bookings, Accommodations and Occupancy Taxes, including, but not limited to, personally identifiable information such as Host or Guest’s name, Listing addresses, transaction dates and amounts, tax identification number(s), the amount of taxes collected from Guests or allegedly due, contact information and similar information, to the relevant Tax Authority.
In other jurisdictions, Take On Adventure may decide in its sole discretion to facilitate Occupancy Tax collection on behalf of Hosts and Guests in accordance with a Host’s direction to opt in to a specific Occupancy Tax line item in the Booking process, in which the Host directs that Occupancy Taxes from Guests be sent directly to the Host so that the Host will remit such taxes directly to Tax Authority (“Opt-in for Host Remittance“). In any jurisdiction in which we decide to facilitate Collection by Opt-in for Host Remittance, whether you are a Guest or Host, you hereby instruct and authorize Take On Adventure (via Take On Adventure Payments) to send Occupancy Taxes received from Guests at the time Accommodation Fees are collected to the Host who is obligated to send such taxes to the Tax Authority directly. If Take On Adventure offers and a Host selects Opt-in for Host Remittance in any jurisdiction, Hosts and Guests remain solely responsible and liable for the payment and remittance of any and all taxes that may apply to Accommodations; you agree and understand that Take On Adventure is not responsible for, and will not send any such Occupancy Taxes to the Tax Authority under Opt-in to Host Remittance of Taxes. You hereby agree that through third party payment processors, Take On Adventure is merely processing Your election and direction to have Occupancy Taxes from Guests sent directly to the Host for remittance by the Host to the Tax Authority, and that You will remit all amounts collected from Guests as Occupancy Taxes to such Tax Authority. You expressly agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold Take On Adventure and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, debts, obligations, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and/or accounting fees, arising out of or in any way related to Occupancy Taxes, including, without limitation, the applicability of, calculation of, collection of Occupancy Taxes in any amount or at all as to your transactions or Accommodations. For any jurisdiction in which we facilitate Opt-in for Host Remittance, Hosts and Guests expressly grant us permission, without further notice, to store, transfer and disclose data and other information relating to them or to their transactions, Bookings, Accommodations and Occupancy Taxes, including, but not limited to, personally identifiable information such as Host or Guest’s name, Listing addresses, transaction dates and amounts, tax identification number(s), the amount of taxes received by Hosts from Guests, or allegedly due, contact information and similar information, to the relevant Tax Authority.
Whether you are a Guest or Host, you agree that any claim or cause of action relating to Take On Adventure’s facilitation of Opt-in for Host Remittance or Collection and Remittance of Occupancy Taxes shall not extend to any supplier or vendor that may be used by Take On Adventure in connection with facilitation of Opt-in Remittance or Collection and Remittance of Occupancy Taxes, 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 Take On Adventure from the applicable Tax Authority in accordance with applicable procedures set by that Tax Authority. In any jurisdiction in which we have not provided notice of, or are not facilitating (or are no longer facilitating) the collection or remittance of Occupancy Taxes by Collection and Remittance, Opt-in for Host Remittance or any other means or method, in your jurisdiction, Hosts and Guests remain solely responsible and liable for the collection and/or remittance of any and all Occupancy Taxes that may apply to Accommodations. Hosts and Guests acknowledge and agree that in some jurisdictions, Take On Adventure may decide not to facilitate collection or remittance of Occupancy Taxes or may not be able to facilitate the collection and/or remittance of Occupancy Taxes, and nothing contained in these Terms of Service is a representation or guarantee that Take On Adventure will facilitate collection and/or remittance of Occupancy Tax anywhere at all, including in any specific jurisdiction, or that Take On Adventure will continue to facilitate any collection or remittance of Occupancy Tax in any specific jurisdiction in which it may have been offered. Take On Adventure reserves the right, in its sole determination, to cease any facilitation of any collection and remittance of Occupancy Tax (regardless of method used or to be used in the future) for any reason or no reason at all, provided that it will give Hosts reasonable notice in any jurisdiction in which Take On Adventure determines to cease any such facilitation.
Take On Adventure’s online platform facilitates Bookings between Guests and Hosts who may pay in a currency different from their destination currency, which may require currency conversions to accommodate these differing currency preferences. Although the Take On Adventure platform allows users to view the price of Listings in a number of currencies, the currencies available for users to make and receive payments may be limited, and may not include the default currency in any given geographic location. Details regarding currency conversion, including any associated fees, are detailed in the Payments Terms.
As a Guest, you are responsible for leaving the Accommodation (including any personal or other property located at an Accommodation) in the condition it was in when you arrived. You acknowledge and agree that, as a Guest, 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 Accommodation. In the event that a Host 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. Hosts may choose to include security deposits in their Listings (“Security Deposits“). Each Listing will describe whether a Security Deposit is required for the applicable Accommodation. Take On Adventure will use commercially reasonable efforts to address Hosts’ requests and claims related to Security Deposits, but Take On Adventure is not responsible for administering or accepting any Damage Claims by Hosts related to Security Deposits, and disclaims any and all liability in this regard. If a Host has a Damage Claim for a confirmed Booking, the Host can seek payment from the Guest through the Resolution Center. The Host may escalate the Damage Claim to Take On Adventure if the Host and Guest are unable to resolve a Damage Claim through the Resolution Center, or immediately in certain circumstances. If a Host escalates a Damage Claim to Take On Adventure, you as a Guest will be notified of the Damage Claim and given an opportunity to respond. If you as a Guest agree to pay the Host in connection with a Damage Claim, or if Take On Adventure determines, in its sole discretion, that you are responsible for damaging an Accommodation or any personal or other property located at an Accommodation, Take On Adventure (via Take On Adventure Payments) will collect any such costs from you and/or against the Security Deposit in accordance with the Payments Terms. Take On Adventure also reserves the right to otherwise collect payment from you and pursue any avenues available to Take On Adventure in this regard in situations in which you have been determined, in Take On Adventure’s sole discretion, to have damaged any Accommodation or any personal or other property located at an Accommodation. Both Guests and Hosts agree to cooperate with and assist Take On Adventure in good faith, and to provide Take On Adventure with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Take On Adventure, in connection with any Damage Claims or other complaints or claims made by Members relating to Accommodations or any personal or other property located at an Accommodation (including, without limitation, payment requests made under the Take On Adventure Host Guarantee) or with respect to any investigation undertaken by Take On Adventure or a representative of Take On Adventure regarding use or abuse of the Site, Application or the Services. If you are a Guest, upon Take On Adventure’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 Host, at no cost to you, which process will be conducted by Take On Adventure or a third party selected by Take On Adventure or its insurer, with respect to losses for which the Host is requesting payment from Take On Adventure under the Take On Adventure Host Guarantee. If you are a Guest, you understand and agree that Take On Adventure 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 an Accommodation or any personal or other property located at an Accommodation (including without limitation amounts paid by Take On Adventure under the Take On Adventure Host Guarantee). You agree to cooperate with and assist Take On Adventure in good faith, and to provide Take On Adventure with such information as may be reasonably requested by Take On Adventure, 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 Take On Adventure may reasonably request to assist Take On Adventure in accomplishing the foregoing. Security Deposits, if required by a Host, may be applied to any fees due from a Guest overstaying at a Listing without the Host’s consent.
Guests agree that a confirmed Booking is merely a license granted by the Host to the Guest to enter and use the Listing for the limited duration of the confirmed Booking and in accordance with the Guest’s agreement with the Host. Guests further agree to leave the Accommodation no later than the checkout time that the Host specifies in the Listing or such other time as mutually agreed upon between the Host and Guest. If a Guest stays past the agreed upon checkout time without the Host’s consent, they no longer have a license to stay in the Listing and the Host is entitled to make the Guest leave. In addition, Guests agree that the Host can charge the Guest, for each 24 hour period that the Guest stays over the agreed period without the Host’s consent, an additional nightly fee of two times the average nightly Accommodation Fee originally paid by the Guest to cover the inconvenience suffered by the Host, plus all applicable Service Fees, Taxes, and any legal expenses incurred by the Host to make the Guest leave (collectively, “Additional Sums“). Take On Adventure Payments will collect Additional Sums from Guests pursuant to the Payments Terms.

Further, unless both you and Take On Adventure 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. This agreement to arbitrate evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“) in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_medor 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.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Utah 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 Take On Adventure 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 Take On Adventure 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. Take On Adventure 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, Take On Adventure 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)).
