Terms of Service

Last updated: March 11, 2024

Welcome to Guesty, a property and vacation rental management platform (the “Guesty Platform”). The Guesty Platform is owned and operated by Guesty, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “Guesty”, “we”, “us” and/or “our”).

For users of Guesty Lite, please refer to the Terms of Service specific to Guesty Lite Platform, which shall also be incorporated hereto by reference.

Please read carefully the following Terms of Service (the “Terms”). By using, accessing or applying to register to the Guesty Platform, by any of the means acceptable to Guesty, including through the execution of a binding agreement (all will be referred herein as the “Guesty Contract”), the customer (“Customer” and/or “you”) agrees to be bound by these Terms. The Guesty Contract is incorporated into these Terms.

1.   About the Guesty Platform

1.1    Guesty Platform

The Guesty Platform offers various management tools for those renting out properties on a short-term basis (each, a “Property”, and collectively, the “Properties”), to guests (the “Guests”).

1.2    Third Parties

The Guesty Platform can also be used with third-party platforms such as Airbnb (the “Third Party Channels”). Using the Guesty Platform, the Customer can also manage interactions with external third-party service providers such as housekeeping cleaners, laundry service providers, and house-key handoff services (the “Third Party Service Providers”).

1.3    Customer’s Account

Each Customer has an “Account” on the Guesty Platform with which he or she can manage multiple Properties. Each Account is first and foremost accessible by the Account’s administrator (the “Admin User(s)”) and the Admin User is given access to tools for managing the Account itself. For instance, the Admin User can set up user accounts that the Admin User can assign to his or her team members so that they can manage the Properties using Guesty Platform’s Property management tools.

1.4    Add-On Services

The Customer may also opt to use any of our additional add-on modules such as booking website, channel manager services, guest communication service, consulting services, etc. (the “Add-On Services”), which Add-On Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions, and in connection to which the Customer’s Account information may be shared with any third party affiliated to the Add-On Services, where applicable. The guest communication service (the “GCS”) for example is the add-on module where our guest service experts (the “GSE”) are available to assist the Customer’s Guests and prospective Guests with reservations and similar reception-related matters.

2.    Registration and creation of a Guesty Account

2.1    Applying to Register

In order to use the Guesty Platform, the Customer must apply for registration. The Customer must provide true, accurate, current and complete information in the course of the Customer’s application to register to the Guesty Platform, and the Customer is fully accountable for any outcome that may result from the Customer’s failure to do so. Within the application process, Guesty may request additional information, documentation and materials from the Customer, as it deems necessary, at its sole discretion.

Once we complete processing, evaluating and considering the Customer’s application, we will determine, at our sole discretion, whether to accept or decline the Customer’s application to register to the Guesty Platform. We are not obligated to admit the Customer to the Guesty Platform. The Customer will have no plea, claim or demand against Guesty in connection with any decision we may or may not make regarding the Customer’s application or admission. Our decision is final and non-contestable. If we decline the Customer’s application to register to the Guesty Platform, these Terms will immediately terminate. If we believe that the registration information that the Customer provided is false or not correct, current or complete, or if we believe that the Customer has violated these Terms, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the Customer’s application to register to the Guesty Platform. However, we have no obligation to verify the accuracy, correctness, or completeness of any information that the Customer or others have provided nor are we liable for losses or any damage resulting therefrom. The Customer may not hold payments that Guesty is entitled to due to such action by Guesty.

2.2    Once Registered

– If we admit the Customer to the Guesty Platform, the Customer must, as a first step, create an Admin.  The Admin can then create and assign multiple Admin Users to his or her team members so that they can manage the Properties using Guesty Platform’s Property management tools. Each Admin User can have multiple and different types of Account permissions that the Admin is responsible for assigning. Note, however, that we are not liable for errors or mistakes made with respect to such permissions.

– 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.

– Admin and Admin Users access the Guesty Platform using their Account username and password. The Customer must make sure that the Admin and Admin Users change their passwords periodically. The Admin and Admin Users must maintain the confidentiality of their account login details.

– Guesty shall not be responsible for the conduct and actions that the Admin User or other users engage in on the Account. The Customer is responsible for these actions including changes, deletion, and adding costly features.

3.    Third parties

3.1    Integration with Third-Party Channels

– If the Customer wishes to connect its Account to a Third Party Channel (each such interconnection is named an “Integration”), then the Guesty Platform may need to change the email or other user credential for the Customer to use with each respective Third Party Channel. The Guesty Platform will then maintain the Integration with the Customer’s account on the Third Party Channel. To do this, the Customer may need to change the email address or other user credential that he or she has listed on the Third Party Channel. Also, in order for the Guesty Platform to operate properly, the Customer must keep its account on the Third Party Channel connected to the Customer’s Account on the Guesty Platform.

– Guesty is not responsible, and accepts no liability, for any loss of data, reservations or revenue due to Customer’s failure to keep his or her account on the Third Party Channel connected to the Customer’s Account on the Guesty Platform. The Customer is exclusively responsible for doing this, and for all consequences of any failure to do so.

– Once connected to an Integration, the Guesty Platform automatically imports the Properties and Guest related data in the Customer’s accounts on the respective Third Party Channel, such as listings, reservations, past Guests, etc. Guesty allows you to manage future reservations (reservations that were already booked where the check-in is in the future) on the Guesty Platform right away. These reservations will be charged regularly according to the terms of the Guesty Contract.

– In some cases, the Guesty Platform performs the Integration using “Channel Managers”, which are subject to their own terms of use that the Customer is responsible to comply with. In those cases, we merely push the data through the relevant Channel Manager and pay the fees applicable to that Channel Manager according to the terms of the Guesty Contract.

– Guesty is not liable for any problems in the Customer’s Account on a Third Party Channel, including response rate or the account being locked out. Payments to Third-Party Channels are at the Customer’s cost and responsibility (except in case of Channel Managers, as shall be agreed upon under the Guesty Contract).

3.2    Third-Party Service Providers

Guesty shall not be responsible for Third-Party Service Providers, any and all communications, transactions payments, and engagements with Third Party Service Providers, are exclusively between the Customer and the relevant Third Party Service Provider. Guesty shall not screen, endorse or recommend Third Party Service Providers and cannot confirm their professional qualifications, skills, licenses, or permits needed for their line of work, or that they are properly covered by insurance.

3.3    Payment Processing Services

Our payment processing services are provided by GuestyPay or other third parties, and offered to the Customer on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis. Guesty is not liable for any error or malfunction in such payment process services. 

The Customer is exclusively responsible for all tax filings and withholdings in connection with the collection of fees made through such payment process service. The Payment Processor may charge additional transaction fees for the integration with the Customer’s Guesty Account. We may deduct or withhold any amounts collected through the payment process service, to the extent we determine it to be necessary.

4.    Fees and Payment Terms

4.1    Service Fees

Use of the Guesty Platform and the Add-On Services is subject to the fees at the rates, packages, schemes, amounts, overage charges, and payment cycles agreed upon by the Customer and the Company under the Guesty Contract.

4.2    Property Booking Fees

Fees that are contingent on Property booking fees are determined according to the Property booking fees reported to Guesty by the Third-Party Channel or by the Customer. The Customer must report accurate, correct, and true information.

4.3    Change of Fees

We may, from time to time, change the applicable fees, rates, packages, schemes, amounts, overage charges, and payment cycles. If we do so, we will put the Customer on notice of such changes, but we will not radically change these matters in a way that adversely affects the Customer, without obtaining his or her consent.

4.4    Additional Fees

You may incur certain other fees or charges for your use of the Guesty Platform and the Add-On Services (the “Additional Fees”). Any Additional Fees will be agreed upon by the Customer and Guesty.

4.5    Activation Fee for Percentage Model Accounts

Guesty will charge an activation fee of $1 per listing per month for each active listing that does not generate any reservations billed in the respective month (“Activation Fee”). This Activation Fee will be invoiced independently of the regular ‘Service Fee’ (as defined in the Customer’s Guesty Contract).

4.6    Currency

Fees are chargeable in US Dollars, but we reserve the right to offer those fees be charged in other currencies. If we do so and the Customer opts to be charged in another currency, the Customer may be subject to additional exchange fees or commissions collected by the Customer’s payment method provider.

4.7   Exchange Rates

Exchange rates are determined by a reputable third-party provider and converted with the exchange rate applicable at the time the given reservation is made and is rounded up. Guesty is not responsible, and accepts no liability for, the exchange rate used or currency conversion performed.

4.8    Payment Methods

The Customer must pay the applicable fees using one of the payment methods we support, such as a credit card. By providing the Customer’s payment information, the Customer gives his or her consent to being billed for the applicable fees, in addition to any applicable surcharges or commissions that may apply under the Customer’s agreement with his or her payment method provider. The Customer must keep the billing information that he or she provided to Guesty current, complete, and accurate, and notify Guesty promptly in case of any change in the billing information. The Customer will be invoiced by Guesty and/or any of its subsidiaries. Depending on the payment method selected by the Customer, payments may be collected by the relevant third-party payment service provider and not necessarily directly by us, in which case we are not responsible for their mishandling of the Customer’s payment information or any related security breaches.

4.9    Refunds and Set-off

Except where we expressly agree otherwise, or as set out in these Terms or the terms applicable to any Add-On Services, the Customer is not entitled to any refunds or reimbursements in connection with the Guesty Platform, the Add-On Services, or the applicable fees. In any event, the Customer is not entitled to a refund for partial use of the Guesty Platform, any unused portion of the Guesty Platform, unused features of the Guesty Platform, or for any time period during which the Customer did not actually use or take advantage of the Guesty Platform. Customer may not set-off or deduct amounts from fees due to Guesty.

4.10   Failure to Pay

Fees that we are unable to charge through the payment method the Customer provided, as well as payable fees for which the Customer has not provided a payment method, are deemed overdue. Failure to settle any overdue fee within seven (7) calendar days of its original due date constitutes a breach of these Terms, entitling Guesty to suspend the Customer’s Account (in which case we will notify you of the suspension and the overdue fees). Failure to settle any overdue fees within fourteen (14) calendar days of its original due date and following notification by us as above, constitutes a material breach of these Terms.

4.11   Late Payment

Without derogating from any other rights and remedies available to Guesty under applicable law, overdue fees may accrue interest at the rate of three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) per month or part thereof, cumulative monthly on the linked capital from the due date until the date of actual payment. The Customer will reimburse Guesty for all legal costs, chargebacks, chargeback fees, credit card commissions, and attorney fees we incur in the course of collecting overdue or disputed fees.

5.    Fees for canceled reservations

– The following fees apply in the event that a reservation for a Property is canceled: (i) if a GUEST canceled the booking (Direct, Manual, Airbnb, or Booking.com reservations) then the fee is calculated based on the host payout which is subject to the users’ cancellation policy (ii) if the HOST cancels the booking, Guesty only charges the minimum fee of 3 USD.

– Due to a lack of data on cancellations from any channel (Direct, Manual, Direct channel integrations, and other booking channels connected via a channel manager) the following policy will apply: (i) if the reservation was canceled BEFORE the check-in date, then Guesty will charge a 3 USD cancellation fee – fixed price; (ii) if the cancellation happened AFTER the check-in-, the Guesty fee will be charged according to the regular rates set forth in the Guesty Contract. If during the term of the Guesty Contract, the Guesty platform is able to retrieve the actual host payout for canceled reservations (from one or more channels), Guesty will follow the specific canceled reservations policy for those affected channels. The change in policy would be effective immediately upon Guesty’s support of host payouts for canceled reservations.

6.    Duration and Termination / Cancellation of the Guesty Account

6.1    Duration

These Terms, including the Customer’s right to use the Guesty Platform and any Add-On Services and our right to charge fees, will continue for any minimum term the Customer has agreed to as part of the Guesty Contract, and thereafter until either we or the Customer terminates or cancels them as referred to in this section. 

6.2    Termination by the Customer

The Customer may request to terminate these Terms and the Customer’s Account by clicking the “Cancel Account” button available on the Guesty Platform, or alternatively by having the Admin send a termination request through our Help center at https://help.guesty.com/hc/en-gb. Termination will enter into effect once we complete processing the Customer’s request. 

If the Customer terminates the Guesty Contract as above then the Customer shall pay to the Company an early termination fee, equal to the amount of the Customer’s Minimum Monthly Fee (as defined in its Guesty Contract) multiplied by the number of the remaining months on any minimum the applicable Term.

6.3    Termination by the Company

In addition to any remedies that may be available to Guesty under any applicable law, we may promptly temporarily or permanently deny, limit, suspend, or terminate the Customer’s Account, prohibit the Customer from accessing the Guesty Platform, and take technical and legal measures to keep the Customer off the Guesty Platform, if we, in our reasonable discretion, determine that (i) the Customer abused the Customer’s rights to use the Guesty Platform; or (ii) the Customer materially breached these Terms; or (iii) the Customer performed any act or omission which is harmful or likely to be harmful to the Company, or any other third party, including other users of the Guesty Platform.

6.4    Liability for Termination

We will not be liable to the Customer for terminating the Customer’s Account or access to the Guesty Platform in accordance with the provisions of these Terms.

6.5    Payments Upon Termination

The Customer will fully pay all fees applicable to all Guest reservations that were confirmed after the Customer’s registration date to the Guesty Platform (according to the applicable Pricing Model set forth in the Guesty Contract). We may promptly charge the Customer for those fees and payments using the payment method the Customer provided.

6.6    Customer’s Information and Data

We may permanently delete the Customer’s Account on the Guesty Platform, including all information and data it contains. Subject to the Customer’s payment of all due fees and payments incurred up through the effective date of termination, we will export and make available to the Customer a copy of the information and data that the Customer’s Account contains, as of the effective date of termination.

– Our GSE’s will handle tickets as follows: (i) we first try to respond to inquiries according to the information and guidelines that the Customer has provided us; and (ii) if we are unable to determine an appropriate response or solution based on that information or guidelines, we will make good faith efforts to research the answer using information publicly available online; and (iii) if we are still not able to determine an appropriate response, we will attempt to contact the Customer’s designated contact person. We will contact the designated contact person according to the priority of contact channels that the Customer has indicated. An inquiry may be submitted to Guesty at any time during the day or night, and the contact person must therefore be ready, willing, and able to respond promptly at any time we contact him or her for an inquiry. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that if we are not able to get a hold of the designated contact person, or if he or she is unable to address the inquiry, we may not be able to respond to the inquiry properly and in a timely manner.

7.3    White labeled Guest Communication Service

The Customer may opt to use our website creation services. By using the website creation services, the Customer agrees and acknowledges the following:

– The Customer is responsible for all of the content that is uploaded, posted, transmitted or otherwise made available on the website created by the Customer (the “Content”).

23.   Governing law and dispute resolution

23.1   Choice of Law

Regardless of the Customer’s place of residence or where the Customer access or use the Guesty Platform or Add-On Services from, these Terms and the Customer’s use of the Guesty Platform or Add-On Services will be governed by and construed solely in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, 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 New York.

23.2   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 or Add-On Services, 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.

23.3   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.

23.4   Dispute Resolution Fees

– 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.

– 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.

– 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.

24.   General

24.1   Whenever used in these Terms, the term “Including” or “Such as”, whether capitalized or not, means without limitation to the           preceding phrase. All examples and e.g. notations are illustrative, not exhaustive.

24.2   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.

24.3   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.

24.4   Successors and Assigns

Any attempted or actual assignment by the Customer, without our prior consent, shall be null and void (i.e., have no effect). 

We may assign our rights and responsibilities under these Terms or transfer them entirely to a third party (in each case including all rights, duties, liabilities, and obligations therein), upon notice to the Customer, if we are subject to a major corporate transaction such as a merger, acquisition, change of control, or the sale of all or substantially all of our equity or assets. 

We may also assign and delegate any or all of our rights and obligations under these Terms or transfer them entirely to one or more of our subsidiaries (i.e., affiliate companies), without providing prior notice to the Customer. 

24.5   Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable by a competent court or arbitration tribunal, then the provision shall be performed and enforced to the maximum extent permissible by law to reflect as closely as possible, the original intention of that provision, and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall continue to remain in full force and effect.
