For the Supply of TakeOn Services

1. About Us

1.1 We are a corporate member of the onefinestay Club (“the Club”). This allows us to provide certain services to members of the Club who wish to offer property for occupation by other members of the Club. All capitalized terms used herein which are not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the onefinestay Club Rules available on request.

1.2 We are a service provider to members of the Club. We are a “TakeOn Supplier” as described in the Club rules. We provide services to you, the Homeowner, in order to ensure that the property (“Property”) you wish to make available for occupancy by guest members of the Club meets the Club’s requirements. We provide a limited service to Homeowner Club members. We are not an accommodation or bookings agent nor do we act as a real estate broker, real estate agent, travel agent, travel seller or reseller, or travel promoter. We do not have authority to form a binding agreement between you and a guest member for the occupation of the Property. In accordance with the Club rules (“the Club Rules”) you will contract directly with a Guest for accommodation of the Property and we are not responsible for any part of your agreement with a Guest for the occupation of your Property. We are solely responsible for the limited services we supply (subject to the limitations of liability set out below).

2.2 From time to time changes or variations may need to be made to these terms and conditions. In the event that we need to vary these terms we will email a copy of the revised terms to you. If you do not accept the revised terms you will be entitled to terminate your agreement with us. However, any bookings that you have made prior to such termination will continue to be binding on you.

3.3 We agree to provide our services with reasonable skill and care. While we will advise you of issues which are readily apparent in the course of our inspection, we do not guarantee or insure that the Property meets with or complies with the standards and rules of the Club. You, as Homeowner, are solely responsible for compliance with the Club Rules. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, WE DISCLAIM ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, RELATING TO THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY OR SUITABILITY FOR OCCUPANCY BY GUESTS, AND ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY WARRANTIES THAT ARISE FROM TRADE USAGE OR CUSTOMS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

4. Arranging an Inspection and Initial Services

4.1 Once you have appointed us as your TakeOn Services Provider under the Club Rules we will conduct an inspection of the Property to identify any matters which we believe require action in order for the Property to comply with the Club Rules and standards relating to the quality, description and marketing of the Property. While we will endeavor to use reasonable care to identify any issues that are readily apparent from our inspection of the Property, we will not be responsible for the condition, safety or security of the Property. You, as Homeowner are solely responsible for such condition, safety and security and compliance with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Property, the use and occupancy thereof and the offering of such Property to Guests as contemplated hereby. Further, you, as Homeowner will be solely responsible for ensuring that you are lawfully permitted to allow members of the Club to occupy the Property, including, compliance with all agreements, contracts or other obligations to which you are a party or to which you or the Property are subject, including, without limitation, any deed, mortgage, lease, proprietary lease, condominium association or cooperative rules, regulations and by-laws or any similar rules of any building, property or tenant association. Our inspection of the Property does not limit or modify in any respect any representations or warranties made by you to us, the Guest or the Club as to the condition, safety or compliance of the Property with Club Rules, laws, rules and regulations and other applicable contractual or other obligations to you or the Property may be subject.

4.2 Once the inspection is completed and you have addressed any issues identified during such inspection and we have obtained the photographs and information relating to the Property necessary to comply with the Club Rules we will provide the agreed information to the booking services provider you have selected to use for the listing of the Property for occupation by Guest(s).

5. Once the Property is Listed

5.1 Once the Property is listed (or at any other time by agreement) we will be available to discharge any maintenance, repairs or other works which you may request or which are required in order to ensure that the Property continues to meet the Club standards. We may, at our option, subcontract such work to third parties (including other corporate members of the Club or their sub-contractors). Such services may be provided during a booking or outside of booked periods as we may agree from time to time.

5.2 We will endeavour to contact you prior to undertaking any work in the event that any work is required to be carried out with respect to the Property and to obtain your authorization to proceed with such work. In accordance with the Club Rules you pre-authorize us to carry out any work which is required and for which the cost of such works will not exceed a specified amount as outlined in a Maintenance Policy issued by the Club from time to time, to deduct any such amounts from the amounts due to you from your booking services provider and to direct your booking services provider to pay such amounts to us to reimburse us for such costs. For all work for which the estimated costs will exceed this specified amount, we will be required to contact you and obtain your authorization prior to commencing any such work; provided, however, that in the event of an emergency situation where we are unable to contact you on a timely basis and have determined in good faith that failure to act promptly will cause further damage, make the Property uninhabitable or create health or safety issues, you preauthorize us to carry out such work on your behalf and you shall be responsible for the full cost of any such works. In such event, you hereby authorize us to deduct such costs from any amounts due to you from your booking services provider and to direct your booking services provider to pay such amounts to us to reimburse us for such costs. To the extent the costs exceed amounts remaining due to you from the booking services provider, you shall remain fully responsible for payment of such amounts upon receipt of an invoice with respect thereto.
