The Guesty Contract is incorporated into these Terms.

Guesty Platform
The Guesty platform provides a comprehensive suite of tools for managing short-term rental properties (“Listing(s)“) rented to guests (“Guest(s)“) across various third-party channels. The Guesty Platform includes multiple functions such as reservation management, channel management, automation tools, financial management, task management, and analytics and reporting.The Guesty Platform can also be used with third-party online travel agencies (such as Airbnb, Booking, and others) integrated into the Guesty Platform (“Third Party Channels”). By using the Guesty Platform, Customers can also manage interactions with external third-party service providers (“Third Party Service Providers”).
1. Customer’s Account
  Each Customer has an “Account” on the Guesty platform to manage multiple listings. The Account is accessible by the Account’s administrator (“Admin User(s)”), who is given tools for managing the Guesty Account.The Admin User can set up additional user accounts and assign various types of account permissions to its team members so that they can manage the Listings using Guesty Platform’s property management tools. The Customer must ensure that whomever the Customer designates to use the Guesty Platform as an Admin User or another user, fully complies with these Terms. The Customer is liable for all acts or omissions of the Admin Users and all other users in connection with the Guesty Platform.
2. Add-On Services
  The Customer may also choose to use any of our additional add-on services offered within the Guesty Platform, such as a booking website, accounting, guest communication service, price optimizer, etc. (the “Add-On Services“). These Add-On Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions and associated fees.The Guesty Platform, together with the Add-On Services, will be referred to in these terms as the “Guesty Platform.”

By completing the KYC process, the Customer acknowledges and agrees to Guesty’s right to request further information and conduct ongoing due diligence as necessary.
Third parties
1. Integration with Third-Party Channels
  If the Customer wishes to connect their Guesty Account to a Third Party Channel (each such connection is referred to as an “Integration”), the Guesty Platform may need to modify the email or other user credentials the Customer uses with each respective Third Party Channel. Guesty will maintain the Integration with the Customer’s Account on the Third Party Channel. This may require the Customer to change the email address or other user credentials listed on the Third Party Channel.To ensure proper operation of the Guesty Platform, the Customer must keep its Account on the Third Party Channel connected to their Guesty Account.Guesty is not responsible for any loss of data, reservations, or revenue due to the Customer’s failure to maintain this connection Integration. The Customer is solely responsible for maintaining this Integration and bears all consequences resulting from any failure to do so.
  
  Once connected to an Integration, the Guesty Platform automatically imports the Listings and Guest-related data (including Third Party Channels fees) into the Customer’s Account on the respective Third Party Channel. Guesty allows the Customer to manage future reservations (reservations that were already booked with future check-in dates) on the Guesty Platform once the Integration is completed. These reservations will be charged regularly according to the terms of the Guesty Contract.
  
  The Guesty Platform also integrates with “Channel Managers” (i.e., software tools allowing to synchronize and manage Listings across multiple booking platforms which Guesty does not have direct Integration with). These Channel Managers are subject to their own terms of use that the Customer must comply with.Customers are responsible for all payments to Third-Party Channels. Guesty may also charge additional fees for the integrations with Channel Managers or other Integrations designated by Guesty as ‘Premium Channels’ as outlined in the Guesty Contract.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Customer will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, Guesty, its affiliates, their users and partners, and the Personnel at the Customer’s own expense and immediately after receiving written notice thereof, from and against any damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including attorney’s fees and legal expenses, resulting from any plea, claim, allegation or demand, arising from, or in connection with the Customer’s use of the Guesty Platform or Add-On Services, the Customer’s breach of the Terms, the Customer’s violation or infringement of any other person’s rights, the Customer’s communications through the Guesty Platform or Add-On Services, or the eventualities disclaimed under this Terms
Governing law and dispute resolution
1. Choice of Law. Regardless of the Customer’s place of residence or where the Customer accesses or uses the Guesty Platform from, these Terms and the Customer’s use of the Guesty Platform will be governed by and construed solely in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any otherwise applicable rules of conflict of laws, which would result in the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
2. Dispute Resolution. Any and all disputes, claims, or controversies between the Customer or the Customer’s users and the Company regarding these Terms or the use of the Guesty Platform, which are not amicably resolved, shall be settled through binding arbitration (rather than in court) by telephone, online or based solely upon written submissions without in- person appearance, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA), under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (which are available at www.adr.org). Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. However, the Customer may lodge claims in small claims court if the Customer’s claim qualifies. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms.
3. Remedies. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow these Terms as a court would.
4. Dispute Resolution Fees
  1. Payment of filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules. These fees will be shared equally by the Customer and us unless the arbitrator: (i) determines that the claims are frivolous, in which case the claimant shall bear all such fees arising from the frivolous claim; or (ii) determines that the fees should be allocated differently.
  2. The Customer and the Company hereby acknowledge, agree, and covenant that any such dispute shall only be adjudicated on an individual basis, and not in class, consolidated or representative proceeding. Should a dispute be adjudicated in court, rather than arbitration, for any reason whatsoever, the Customer and the Company each expressly and knowingly waive any right to a jury trial.
  3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section, the Company may lodge a claim against the Customer: (a) pursuant to the indemnification clause above, in any court adjudicating a third party claim against us; and (b) in connection with the infringement (or alleged infringement) of any Company intellectual property right, in any court of competent jurisdiction having personal jurisdiction over the Customer.
General
Terms like “Including” or “Such as” mean without limitation to the preceding phrase. All examples are illustrative, not exhaustive.
1. Entire Agreement. These Terms together with The Guesty Contract, constitute the entire agreement between the Customer and Guesty concerning the subject matter herein and supersede all previous terms and understandings between us (including all prior and contemporaneous negotiations and oral representations, agreements, and statements). In case of conflict between the Guesty Contract and these Terms, the Guesty Contract shall prevail.
2. Waiver and Modification. No waiver, concession, extension, representation, alteration, addition, or derogation from these Terms by us, or pursuant to these Terms, will be effective unless consented to explicitly and executed in writing by our authorized representative. Failure on our part to demand performance of any provision in these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of any of our rights under these Terms.
3. Successors and Assigns. These Terms are personal to the Customer and cannot be assigned without our prior written consent. Any attempted or actual assignment by the Customer without our consent is null and void. We may assign our rights and responsibilities under these Terms or transfer them to a third party, including in the event of a merger, acquisition, change of control, or sale of substantially all assets. We may also assign and delegate any or all rights and obligations under these Terms to our subsidiaries (i.e., affiliate companies) without prior notice to the Customer.
4. Severability. If any provision is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, it shall be performed and enforced to the maximum extent permissible to reflect the original intention. The remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
5. Contact us. The Customer may contact Guesty with any questions or comments, at: [email protected]
6. UK/EU Non-Business User Addendum. If the Customer is a UK or EU resident and use the Guesty Platform and any Add-on services mainly for non-business purposes, please visit UK/EU non-business user addendum.
