5.4
In the event that you fail to keep your Content current and updated, we reserve the right to your Content to reflect the status of your Establishment.

5.6
AirBTC shall not be liable for any damage, loss or liability of whatsoever nature arising from any misrepresentation by you.

In the event that you write a response to a review, you agree that AirBTC may publish the response on your Listing or edit the response before publication or choose not to publish it publicly on the AirBTC Software.

8. ENQUIRY-QUOTE BOOKINGS

8.1
When a Customer uses AirBTC Software to make an availability enquiry for a stay at your Establishment, you are invited to send an electronic quotation to the Customer using AirBTC Software. This quotation can also be sent automatically by the AirBTC Software on your behalf if this has been arranged.

8.2.
If, for whatever reason, you are unable to accommodate the Customer under the conditions for which they enquired, you are obliged to mark the enquiry as unavailable using AirBTC Software, and not to simply ignore it. In the case where you have not responded to an enquiry within a reasonable length of time your Listing’s ranking position on AirBTC Software may be negatively affected, and we will assume in such cases that your establishment is fully reserved for the enquired dates and we may report as such to the Customer. If you repeatedly ignore enquiries your Establishment may be subject to delisting.

8.3
Should a quotation be sent, this constitutes a legal offer by yourself, which may be accepted or declined by the Customer.

8.4
Each quotation is sent with a specified expiry time and it is thus open for acceptance by the Customer during the period prior to the expiry time. Acceptance by the Customer prior to the quotation expiring constitutes a binding contract between you and the Customer.

8.5
Until a Customer indicates an intention to accept a quotation by “provisionally confirming” the booking on the AirBTC Software, you are not required to hold the availability for that Customer exclusively. During the period before provisional confirmation by a Customer you will be able to withdraw the quotation using the AirBTC Software.

8.6
Once a Customer has confirmed the intention to pay, by “provisionally confirming” on the AirBTC Software, AirBTC will inform you as such, and you will thereafter be required to reserve the quoted accommodation for the Customer exclusively. After “provisionally confirming”, the majority of Customers will proceed to payment. However, if a Customer doesn’t pay the deposit before the expiration time specified in your offer, then the quotation has lapsed and is automatically withdrawn.

8.7
The booking is confirmed when payment by a Customer is made to AirBTC by credit card, electronic funds transfer, some other payment method or when AirBTC receives proof of such payment.

9. INSTANT BOOKINGS

9.1
If you make use of a third-party availability software which is integrated with AirBTC Software, then Customers will be able to see your Establishment’s realtime availability on AirBTC Software, and they will be able to make instant bookings at your Establishment through AirBTC Software.

9.2
AirBTC may assume that the availability and price data we receive from the third-party availability software is always accurate and up-to-date. You will be liable for any issues that arise as a result of any out-of-date or inaccurate information we receive from said third-party.

9.3
An instant booking is confirmed when payment by a Customer is made to AirBTC by credit card, electronic funds transfer, some other payment method or when AirBTC receives proof of such payment.

9.4
When the booking is confirmed, AirBTC will inform you as such with an email. We will also endeavor to mark the booking as confirmed on the third-party availability software.

9.5
Should AirBTC, for whatever reason, be unable to mark the booking as confirmed on the third-party availability software, you will still be obliged to honour the booking, provided we have sent you timeous email confirmation thereof.

10. PAYMENTS

10.1
You hereby appoint AirBTC as your agent, eligible to receive payments on your behalf with respect to any bookings at your establishment made through AirBTC Software. These payments include any booking deposit requested by you, or any other payment the Customer may pay to AirBTC with respect to their booking at your Establishment, including balance payments.

10.2
For such payments you agree to accept as paid by the Customer any amount that AirBTC reports to have received.

10.3
If you request a deposit of less than 100% on AirBTC Software, then it is your responsibility to collect any additional amount from the Customer that may still be outstanding. AirBTC cannot take responsibility for any outstanding payment not collected from the Customer.

10.4
AirBTC will on-pay to you all amounts collected by us from the Customer, subject to the deductions specified elsewhere in the agreement.

10.5
AirBTC reserves the right to withhold any amounts that the customer has paid to us on your behalf until 7 days after the Customer’s checkout from your Establishment. This allows us to ascertain whether the customer has had a Satisfactory Stay (as defined in clause 1.14).

10.6
Although AirBTC may often on-pay to you the amounts that we have received on your behalf from the Customer shortly after we have received them, this leniency in enforcing our right specified in the above sub-clause shall not prejudice our right to enforce it in future.

10.7
It is your responsibility to provide AirBTC with your payment details. Should you wish to receive payment to a different address, you must immediately notify AirBTC accordingly. AirBTC will not be held responsible for payments made to incorrect addresses as supplied by customers.

10.8
You agree that on occasion certain on-payments from us to you may be delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, including high usage periods that may render the bitcoin network unusable, or situations where the satisfaction of a Customer’s stay is under dispute, or in situations where the details regarding the amount owed to you is under dispute, or where we have not yet received your payment address details when required.

10.9
AirBTC may offset any amounts you may owe to AirBTC for any reason against any amounts that AirBTC owes you, including but not limited to our commission earned on any bookings, or refunds we’ve made on your behalf to Customers.

10.10
AirBTC may charge the Customer additional fees in connection with our services provided in assisting them with their accommodation booking at your Establishment. You will have no claim over any such fees paid to AirBTC for additional services or otherwise.

10.11
Unless the booking details have materially been adjusted, the Customer will not be liable to pay you any amount in addition to the Total Booking Value except for additional optional extra items or services they may purchase from you during or before their stay.

11. COMMISSION

11.1
You agree to pay commission on any bookings made at your Establishment by Customers who are introduced to you by AirBTC or via AirBTC Software.

11.2
We retain a non-refundable booking commission of 15% on the Total Booking Value for facilitating the booking or for introducing the Customer. If any amount other than 15% is agreed upon, this should be done so in writing or using the AirBTC Software.

11.3
You are responsible for any tax requirements or payments levied upon you by your local authorities. AirBTC is not the agent of any governmental authority and will not levy any tax upon our users.

11.4
AirBTC will calculate the commission based on the Total Booking Value, and will issue you a tax invoice for said commission. The timing of the invoice will coincide with when the booking deposit is paid. You can download this invoice at the end of the month by using the AirBTC Software.

11.5
If our commission for a particular booking is adjusted for any reason, including for reasons of cancellations or booking adjustments, we will issue adjusting invoices or debit notes as the case may be, the timing of which will coincide with when the cancellation or adjustment was confirmed.

11.6
You hereby agree that you shall not bypass the AirBTC Software when engaging with any Customer introduced to you by AirBTC. Any communication between you and any Customers using the AirBTC Software must be conducted via the AirBTC Software or via AirBTC staff until the Customer has paid the deposit for a booking at your Establishment. If this process is bypassed, and a booking is made by the Customer at your Establishment, you will still be liable for our commission on the Total Booking Value of the booking.

11.7
If your Establishment is tax registered it is your responsibility to issue the Customer with a Tax Invoice for the Total Booking Value of their stay at your Establishment, unless AirBTC has notified you that we will be issuing the invoice on your behalf as described in the sub-clause below.

11.8
AirBTC is not responsible or liable for any tax obligations or concerns arising from the use of our platform by our clients, hosts, or guests. We do not provide tax advice, and it is the sole responsibility of each user to understand and comply with their local tax laws and regulations. Users of our software acknowledge and agree that they are responsible for disclosing, reporting, and paying any applicable taxes as sanctioned by their respective local governments. AirBTC shall not be held liable for any claims, penalties, or disputes related to tax obligations arising from the use of our platform.

11.9
You agree that you will not disclose or display AirBTC’s commission to any Customer. For example, it should not be displayed on any statement or invoice that you provide to the Customer.

12. DELIVERY

12.1
You hereby agree to honour bookings reported as “confirmed” by AirBTC regardless of whether you have yet received any associated payments.

12.2
Delivery on the part of yourself takes place when the Customer has physically taken up the accommodation reserved and had a Satisfactory Stay (as defined in clause 1.14).

13. NON-DELIVERY

13.1
Non-delivery occurs if a Customer did not have a Satisfactory Stay (as defined in clause 1.14) at your Establishment.

13.2
Anticipated non-delivery occurs when AirBTC reasonably expects that non-delivery may occur for an upcoming booking. Anticipated non-delivery is considered as non-delivery for all purposes in this contract.

13.3
Examples of non-delivery include, but are not limited to, the following:
– Any stay where the Customer has an Unsatisfactory Stay (as defined in clause 1.15)
– Instances where your Establishment has been materially misrepresented or falsely advertised on the AirBTC Software.
– Instances of double booking, where you cannot honour the Customer’s stay as exactly specified in their booking.
– Unilateral cancellation from your side, or any refusal by you to honour the booking
– Instances where the Customer’s booking is not honoured by new ownership or management of your Establishment, or due to your Establishment having ceased business operations.
– Instances where AirBTC or the Customer is unable to contact you on your supplied contact details.
– Inadequate or incorrect information provided to the Customer about how to access your Establishment on their arrival.

13.4
Examples of anticipated non-delivery include, but are not limited to:
– AirBTC’s loss of faith in your ability to offer a consistently high-quality experience.
– Bad press relating to your Establishment.
– Natural disaster in or nearby to your region.
– AirBTC’s suspicion that your Establishment may be fraudulent.

13.5
In the case of a non-delivered booking, the Customer may choose to receive either a full refund or, in the case where they have not yet completed their stay, a replacement booking for those nights not yet completed.

13.6
Cases of non-delivery are not subject to your usual cancellation policy.
– You will be liable for any amounts that may have already been paid to you for the non-delivered booking.
– You will forfeit any amounts currently owed to you for the non-delivered booking.
– AirBTC will retain our right to invoice you for the commission on the Total Booking Value of non-delivered booking.

13.7
In the case where a Customer elects for AirBTC to find a replacement booking as a result of your non-delivery, AirBTC will attempt to find a replacement booking that meets the Customer Expectation. You acknowledge that in some cases, especially during high season, this may result in the replacement booking costing substantially more than the Total Booking Value. You will be liable to AirBTC for the difference in cost between the Total Booking Value of the non-delivered booking and the replacement booking, for those nights that were replaced.

14. CANCELLATIONS SUBJECT TO YOUR TERMS

14.1
In the event that a Customer cancels a booking you will be liable to refund them the amount as calculated in accordance with the Applicable Cancellation Policy for that booking.

14.2
The last cancellation policy that you had presented to the Customer in relation to their booking before they had confirmed their booking, becomes the Applicable Cancellation Policy for that booking, whether you had presented the policy via AirBTC Software, third-party availability software, messages, emails, or verbally.

14.3
In the event where you present a more favourable cancellation policy to the Customer after their booking had already been confirmed, that more favourable cancellation policy will become the Applicable Cancellation Policy for that booking. You will be bound to this new cancellation policy, even retrospectively, regardless of whether this was offered before or after the booking was cancelled, and regardless of whether you had presented it via AirBTC Software, third-party availability software, messages, emails, or verbally.

14.4
The Applicable Cancellation Policy for a particular booking applies only to the deposit amount requested by you. Any aspect of the Applicable Cancellation Policy that demands additional payment beyond the deposit amount requested is void. Even in the case of a “no show”, you cannot be due more than the requested deposit.

14.5
You agree that any additional amount, over and above the requested deposit, that has been paid by the Customer is always 100% refundable upon cancellation. This does not apply to any payments made with respect to any nights already stayed at the Establishment.

14.6
You agree that any ambiguity in the Applicable Cancellation Policy with respect to any booking will always be interpreted to the benefit of the Customer.

14.7
AirBTC reserves the right to retain all the commission it had earned on any cancelled booking

14.8
Although AirBTC will often decide to pro-rata our commission earned on a cancelled booking in accordance with the Applicable Cancellation Policy of that booking, this leniency in enforcing our right to retain all commission earned on any cancelled booking shall not prejudice our right to enforce it in future.

15. REFUNDS TO CUSTOMERS

15.1
There are occasions when the Customer is due a refund of amounts which they have paid towards their booking at your Establishment. These refunds can be in whole or in part. Such refunds can be due for various reasons, including, but not limited to, cancellations or booking adjustments.

15.2
In the event of a refund being due to a Customer, AirBTC will refund, on your behalf, the required portion of the deposit or balance payments that the Customer had previously paid to AirBTC.

15.3
For those amounts that the Customer had paid to you directly for their booking, including, but not limited to, balance payments and payments for optional extras, you will refund the required portion of said amounts directly to the customer, unless it has been arranged with AirBTC that we refund them on your behalf.

15.4
For all amounts that AirBTC refunds the Customer, we reserve the right to collect these same amounts back from you, to the extent that you had previously received them, whether from us or directly from the customer.

15.5
Any amount that you owe to AirBTC or a Customer as a result of a cancellation or a booking adjustment is due immediately.

15.6
AirBTC may take action to recover unpaid debts from you, including but not limited to, offsetting your debt against other amounts we owe you, Delisting your Establishment, employing a debt collection agency or blacklisting you in the industry. In such circumstances, interest may be retrospectively applied to any outstanding amounts at a rate of 5 percentage points above the prime lending rate.

16. FRAUDULENT TRANSACTIONS AND FALSE PAYMENTS

16.1
You acknowledge that in the event of a Customer’s payment being a fraudulent credit card payment, fraudulent bank deposit, fraudulent proof of payment or in the event of a Customer’s payment being reversed for any reason by the bank or any other agency, AirBTC’s responsibility is limited to the forfeiture of any commission it may have earned on the booking and you are responsible for the repayment of any payment you may have received in respect of the booking, irrespective of the Applicable Cancellation Policy for that booking. This amount should be refunded to us immediately on notification by us to you that the payment has been reversed out of our bank account.

16.2
In the event that AirBTC confirms a booking based on an expectation to receive Customer payment or claims to have received Customer payment, but that claim or expectation is false, you accept that AirBTC can cancel the booking in question without penalty. You will have no claim in relation to such a cancellation, even if the stay has already taken place.

17. RUNNING OF YOUR ESTABLISHMENT

17.1
AirBTC does not assume responsibility for the running of your Establishment in any way.

17.2
It is your sole responsibility to:
– Comply with laws and/or by-laws that may apply to Establishment.
– Adequately and accurately insure your Establishment.
– Run a reputable business in connection with your Establishment that reflects well on AirBTC and its brands.

It is your responsibility to ensure that in the case of new ownership or management of your Establishment, the new owner or manager will honour this agreement and any existing bookings that had been made via AirBTC. You will, however, also remain liable in terms of this agreement.
