Hosts must 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. Certain types of short-term bookings may be prohibited altogether. Local governments vary greatly in how they enforce these laws. Penalties may include fines or other enforcement. These local laws should be reviewed and adhered to by hosts before listing any property on ownerdirect.com.

You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Owner Direct Rentals Inc. as a result of this agreement or use of this web site.

A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

USE OF 'REQUEST PROPERTY' SERVICE
The 'Request for Booking' service on this web site is provided solely to assist customers in determining the potential availability of vacation homes and to potentially make legitimate reservations or otherwise transact business with the owners or managers of vacation homes, and for no other purposes.

This web site is merely a platform that enables Hosts to create listings of their properties available for rental transactions and for Users to find out about such listed properties and for Guests and Hosts to connect and conclude rental transactions, and consequently Owner Direct Rentals Inc is not itself a party to any rental transaction and disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such transactions to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Owner Direct Rentals Inc's role is solely to facilitate the availability of the Site and Service for Users and to provide certain services related thereto. We do not purchase, buy-in, sell, own, provide, furnish, rent, sublet, control or manage any accommodation listed on our Site by Hosts nor can We contract in our own name for the supply of any holiday rental property listed on the Site nor other properties including, but not limited to, hotel rooms, nor any related transportation or travel services. We are not in any way supplying or able to supply such accommodation or services to Guests. Our Site acts as a platform to allow registered Hosts to themselves offer for rent a specific holiday rental space to Guests. Hosts may be either owners of any such holiday rental properties listed on the Site or are persons, for example professional property managers, who are duly authorised to arrange or enter into rental transactions of such properties direct with Guests. We are therefore not a party to the actual rental transaction concluded between Hosts and Guests and are not a contracting agent or representative of any Host. Our responsibility in the provision of the Site and/or Service when such transaction is concluded shall be to forward contact details to both Hosts and Guests. Accordingly, the legal contract for the supply of accommodation and rental transactions is between Hosts and Guests, being a licence to occupy the Host's accommodation during the agreed period as detailed in the Notice of Match confirmation but should not be or intended to be a tenancy or lease or grant of exclusive possession of such accommodation. Rental transactions in respect thereof are only binding among Hosts and Guests, who are both solely and entirely responsible for their performance and Owner Direct Rentals Inc disclaims all liability arising from or in connection with such transactions.

Owner Direct Rentals Inc. assumes no liability in respect of the condition of any listed property on our Site. As noted in the Terms of Use, Owner Direct Rentals Inc does not make any recommendations or endorsements of listed properties or Users of the Site. We cannot and have no control over the conduct of Hosts, Guests and other Users of the Site and Service or the content contained in any listings on our Site or the condition or suitability of any listings and listed properties. Owner Direct Rentals Inc cannot accept any liability arising from the listing and provision by Hosts of any accommodation or holiday rental space offered by Hosts and/or listed on our Site and/or for errors or omissions in the Host's descriptions and any bookings will be made at a Guest's own risk.

You warrant that you are at least 19 years of age and possess the legal authority to enter into this agreement and to use this web site in accordance with all terms and conditions herein. You agree to be financially responsible for all of your use of this web site (as well as for use of your account by others, including, without limitation, minors living with you). You also warrant that all information supplied by you or members of your household in using this web site is true and accurate.

Separate terms and conditions will apply to your reservation of vacation homes. You agree to abide by the terms or conditions of purchase imposed by owners with whom you elect to rent from, including, but not limited to, payment of all amounts when due and compliance with all rules and restrictions regarding availability of fares, products, or services. You shall be completely responsible for all charges, fees, duties, taxes, and assessments arising out of the use of this web site.

USE BY PROPERTY OWNERS AND MANAGERS
Although Owner Direct Rentals Inc. provides you a guest, Owner Direct Rentals Inc. is not responsible for completing the booking or providing further services such as keys, housekeeping and directions. Property Owners-Managers are responsible for calling and/or emailing each guest within 24hrs of notification of an inquiry or booking. Data errors, while not expected, can occur at any time. Property managers are responsible for proofing and verifying the accuracy of all the details provided for any guest referral or booking. Also, because everyone's expectations are different, the property manager is responsible for ensuring their properties meet ALL EXPECTATIONS including standards, size, availability, supplies, etc. Owner Direct Rentals Inc. has a zero tolerance for any "Bait and Switch" attempts made on any guests referred by OwnerDirect.com. Properties booked must be accepted as booked or all agreements will be cancelled and properties removed from OwnerDirect.com.

NOTICE OF LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Owner Direct Rentals Inc. assumes no liability for any loss or damage howsoever arising in connection with this "referral or booking". Owner Direct Rentals Inc. does not verify the details of any guest and their contact information for suitability or for safety of the occupancy or for any other purpose. By accepting guest referrals or bookings all parties expressly hereby limit the liability of damages of Owner Direct Rentals Inc. to the cost of the "commission".
IN NO EVENT WILL OWNER DIRECT RENTALS INC. BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES RELATING TO A RENTAL TRANSACTION HEREUNDER SUCH AS, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN ANY ACTION ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), INTENTIONAL CONDUCT OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES RELATING TO THE LOSS OF RENTALS OR PROFITS, INCOME OR GOODWILL, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
