Service

Rentals United is a "software as a service" provider meaning that all services provided are in digital form and no hard copies of data or services will be made available. Rentals United undertakes to provide an online marketplace for vacation rentals which takes the form of a software platform which can be used by you to sell nights in your accommodation you manage or have authority to represent and to buy nights on behalf of your customers from accommodation providers who also use the platform. Rentals United undertakes to display users to each other in the platform to facilitate discovery of each other’s services.

Inter User Agreements

Users may contact each other via the platform or outside the platform to make agreements. You are requested to be polite and to respect rejection by not harassing users who have indicated they do not wish to conduct business with you.

Before buying or selling nights from another platform user, you undertake to reach an agreement with this user regarding pricing, which of you will take payment from the customer, how the commission revenue will be shared, and which user will invoice the other and when. You will further agree who will communicate with the customer to confirm a booking and how potential problems will be resolved, including the following problems: cancellation by the customer or accommodation provider, fraud by the customer or accommodation provider, complaints by the customer about product quality, double bookings, failure by either user to fulfill the service agreed to. Once an agreement is reached both users will check the relevant box in the Rentals United platform to activate the service allowing you to buy or sell nights with each other.

You also undertake to abide by the contractual terms you agreed with each user. Once a customer makes a booking through the platform and payment is taken the booking is binding.
