Conditions and Use of Property
The Property is provided in “as is” condition. Feels Like Home uses its best efforts to ensure the operation of all amenities in the Property, such as internet access, electricity, hot water, fireplaces etc. as applicable. Feels Like Home shall not be held responsible for such items failure to work, but will make every effort to correct any issues as reported as quickly as possible. Guest acknowledges that use of amenities such as hot tubs, pools, decks, and the like may be potentially dangerous and involve potential risks if improperly used, particularly with regard to children and such use is at the Guest’s own risk.

Guest and any additional permitted guests shall refrain from loud noise and shall not disturb, annoy, endanger, or inconvenience neighbors, nor shall Guest use the Property for any immoral, offensive or unlawful purposes, nor violate any law, association rules or ordinance, nor commit waste or nuisance on or about the Property.

Damage to Accommodations and Security Deposits
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 We claim otherwise and provide 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.

Each Listing will describe whether a Security Deposit is required for the applicable Property. If there is no damage at the premises, either inside the Accommodation or even at the outdoor area used by the Guest, the whole amount will be returned to Guest after check out.

If We have a Damage Claim for a confirmed Booking, We also reserve the right to otherwise collect payment from the Guest and pursue any avenues available in this regard in situations in which you have been determined to have damaged any Accommodation or any personal or other property located at an Accommodation.
Both Guests and Hosts agree to cooperate in good faith. If you are a Guest, to the extent you are reasonably able to do so, you agree to participate in mediation or similar resolution process with the Host, which process will be conducted by a third party selected by Feels Like Home or its insurer, with respect to losses for which the Host is requesting payment from the Guest.

If you are a Guest, you understand and agree that the Host 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.
To qualify for reimbursement under this Policy, You must ensure that:
1. You paid for the Accommodation on the Site’s Payment Platform;
2. You took all what we consider to be the appropriate steps to resolve the issue;
3. You are the person who made the Booking; and
4. You comply with all other requirements under the Policy.

We will reimburse You for Your losses, provided that You meet the claim requirements described above, and one or more of the following “Covered Circumstances” applies:
Fraudulent Advertisement: the Host does not own or manage the Property, or is not the authorized agent of the Property’s owner, or the Property is not legally permitted to be rented.

Inaccessible Property: You have paid for the Accommodation in compliance with the Rental Agreement, and You have complied with the Our terms and conditions, but You have been denied entry to the Property as a result of intentional and wrongful conduct of the Host (which is deemed to include as a result of the Owner’s bankruptcy, insolvency, or fraudulent activity), or the Property is not in fact for rent. You will not be covered for any delay in accessing the Property during the rental period. You must notify Us of this condition no later than the first day of Your expected rental period.

Misrepresented Property: the Property has Material Differences or Defects compared with the advertised Property, and: (i) You are unable to rent the Property as intended; (ii) You describe and provide photographic evidence of the Material Differences or Defects; and (iii) You notify Us of this condition no later than the first day of Your rental period.

Security Deposits may be collected from a Guest overstaying at a Listing without the Host’s consent.

Overstaying 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 (namely 11am) 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 Taxes, and any legal expenses incurred by the Host to make the Guest leave (collectively, “Additional Sums“).

No refund of any portion shall be made and if any legal action is necessary, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the other party for all costs incurred.
