TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Introduction

Hosty is a platform offering business tools, applications, APIs and data integrations in short-term property management. In this Agreement, all these functions are included in the term “Services.” The term “Services” also includes all of Hosty’s mobile applications and related widgets, tools, software, personalized content, and other applications.

Please carefully read through this Platform License and Terms of Service (“Agreement”), since they are a binding agreement between you and Hosty Technologies, Inc. (“Hosty,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”). The Agreement is effective when you sign up or otherwise use any of the Services or access any content or material that is made available by Hosty through the Services (the “Content”).

This Agreement incorporates our Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that you have read and understood the Agreement and agree to be bound by it. If you don’t agree with (or cannot comply with) the Agreement, then you may not use the Service or consume any Content.

For purposes of clarity, the term “Services” includes all functionality made available through the Services, such as the property management system, connectivity API’s with channel management, listing content management, accounting, payment processing, booking systems, reservation management, housekeeping, websites, owner tools & portal, and related support services. Any new features which augment or enhance the current Services, including the release of new features or products, are also governed by this Agreement. However, the term “Services” does not include Professional Services. “Professional Services” means other work we do for you that are not included in our standard Services. If you ever require Professional Services, we (or an associated partner) will enter into a separate written agreement with you outlining the Professional Services and the terms under which they will be provided.

You may sign up for the Services using an online form, paper agreement, or other paper or electronic means acceptable to Hosty (“Order Form“). The Order Form is incorporated into this Agreement, and you agree to its provisions as if it were fully set forth herein. To the extent any provision of a duly executed Order Form accepted by Hosty conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Order Form will prevail.

2. Communications

When you visit us at www.hostyapp.com (“Website”) or send e-mails to us, you are communicating with us electronically, and you consent to receive communications from us electronically. We will communicate with you by e-mail or by posting notices on our website.

3. Received Materials

If you send us any comments, materials, or letters including, without limitation, questions, comments, suggestions, criticisms or the like (“Received Materials”), those Received Materials may be deemed by us to be non-confidential and free of any claims of proprietary or personal rights.

Furthermore, Company is free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any communication you send to Company for any purpose whatsoever, including, but not limited to, developing, manufacturing, and marketing products using such information or ideas, without compensation or any other obligations to anyone, including you.

4. Changes to this Agreement

This Agreement may be changed only by an amendment signed by both parties. At certain times, we may in our discretion need to make revisions to this Agreement. If we do, we will notify you by posting notices on the website or by e-mailing you, as appropriate in the circumstances. If you continue using the Services after the effective date of the changes, you will be deemed to have accepted the revisions. If you do not agree to the revisions, you may terminate this Agreement by notifying us via e-mail at info@hostyapp.com. Any other changes to this Agreement must be in writing signed by both parties.

5. Services, Payment, and Term

You are required to pay a subscription fee (“Fee”).  The description of which Services require the payment of Fees is set forth on the Pricing section of Hosty’s official website (https://www.hostyapp.com/airbnb-management-software-pricing) according to the selected Subscription Plan. The Services and the Fees payable may change from time to time with or without notice.

As soon as you enter credit card information in the billing section of your profile you authorize us to charge your credit card for the selected Subscription Plan disclosed to you at the time you sign up, including recurring payments, where applicable.

6. Trials and Beta Testing

From time to time, we or others on our behalf may offer access to beta models of the Services or trials of paid subscriptions for a specified period without payment or at a reduced rate (each, a “Trial”). We reserve the right, in our absolute discretion, to determine your eligibility for a Trial, and, subject to applicable laws, to withdraw or to modify a Trial at any time without prior notice and with no liability, to the greatest extent permitted under the law.

For some Trials, we’ll require you to provide your payment details to start the Trial. AT THE END OF SUCH TRIALS, WE MAY AUTOMATICALLY START TO CHARGE YOU THE APPLICABLE FEES ON THE FIRST DAY FOLLOWING THE END OF THE TRIAL, ON A RECURRING MONTHLY BASIS. BY PROVIDING YOUR PAYMENT DETAILS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE TRIAL, YOU AGREE TO THIS CHARGE USING SUCH PAYMENT DETAILS. IF YOU DO NOT WANT THIS CHARGE, YOU MUST CANCEL THE APPLICABLE PAID SUBSCRIPTION THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT’S SUBSCRIPTION PAGE OR TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT BEFORE THE END OF THE TRIAL. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO BE CHARGED ON A RECURRING MONTHLY BASIS, YOU MUST CANCEL THE APPLICABLE PAID SUBSCRIPTION THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT’S SUBSCRIPTION PAGE OR TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT BEFORE THE END OF THE RECURRING MONTHLY PERIOD. PAID SUBSCRIPTIONS CANNOT BE TERMINATED BEFORE THE END OF THE PERIOD FOR WHICH YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, WE WILL NOT REFUND ANY FEES THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID.

IF THE TRIAL CONSISTS OF ACCESS TO A BETA MODEL, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE BETA MODEL HAS NOT BEEN FULLY DEVELOPED AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO DEFECTS THAT WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE IN A FULLY DEVELOPED VERSION. YOU AGREE THAT THE LICENSE GRANTED UNDER A BETA TRIAL IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY NATURE, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND MERCHANTABILITY, AS WELL AS NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY OTHER WARRANTY. BETA USERS HAVE NO CLAIM WHATSOEVER AGAINST US FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER.

These Third- Party Applications may have their own terms and conditions of use and privacy policies and your use of these Third-Party Applications will be governed by and subject to such terms and conditions and privacy policies. You understand and agree that we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for the behavior, features, or content of any Third-Party Application or for any transaction you may enter into with the provider of any such Third-Party Applications.

9. Your Data

Your use of the Services may involve the processing of information concerning you or your business activities, including specific information regarding your renters, clients, properties, products, and finances. This specific information (“Your Data”) belongs to you. You grant us a license to use Your Data in connection with the Services, as provided in the “Your License to Us” section below, but you exclusively own Your Data.

10. Your License to Us

You grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid, worldwide license to use, reproduce, make available to the public (e.g. perform or display), publish, translate, modify, create derivative works from, and distribute any of your User Content in connection with the Service through any medium, whether alone or in combination with other content or materials, in any manner and by any means, method or technology, whether now known or hereafter created. Aside from the rights specifically granted herein, you retain ownership of all rights, including intellectual property rights, in the User Content. Where applicable and permitted under applicable law, you also agree to waive any “moral rights” (or the equivalent under applicable law) such as your right to be identified as the author of any User Content.

You also grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, assignable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use Your Data in connection with the Services that we provide to you.

11. Your Account

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account information, including your login and password, and for restricting access to your computer, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password. Company reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content in its sole discretion. You are also solely responsible for the accuracy and currency of the data entered into the Services under your user account. You agree to indemnify and hold Company harmless from and against any claim related to content, accuracy, or currency of the information you provide through the Services.

12. Confidentiality

12.1 Confidential Information. During the term of this Agreement, each party or its employees, consultants, or agents may receive information of the other party that is proprietary or confidential (“Confidential Information”). Each party agrees to hold the Confidential Information of the other party in confidence and not to disclose such Confidential Information to any third parties except as expressly authorized by this Agreement or to use such Confidential Information for purposes outside the scope of this Agreement. Each party may disclose the Confidential Information of the other party only to its employees, consultants and agents who need to know such Confidential Information for the purposes of this agreement and who are subject to confidentiality obligations at least as protective of the Confidential Information as those set out herein. Each party will advise its employees, consultants and agents of their responsibilities under this Agreement and be responsible for any breach of this section by its employees, consultants or agents. Confidential Information shall not include information that is: (a) part of, or becomes part of, the public domain (other than by disclosure by the receiving party in violation of this Agreement); (b) previously known to the receiving party without an obligation of confidentiality; (c) independently developed by the receiving party outside this Agreement; (d) rightfully obtained by the receiving party from third parties without an obligation of confidentiality; or (e) otherwise addressed in this Agreement.

12.2 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may disclose the Confidential Information of the other party to the extent such disclosure is required to comply with applicable law or the valid order or requirement of a governmental or regulatory agency or court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the disclosing party (a) restricts such disclosure to the maximum extent legally permissible; (b) notifies the party to whom the Confidential Information belongs as soon as practicable of any such requirement; and (c) that subject to such disclosure, such disclosed materials shall in all respects remain subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

12.3 Remedies. The parties acknowledge that their respective Confidential Information is unique and valuable, and that breach by a party of the obligations of this section regarding the other party’s Confidential Information could result in irreparable injury to the other party for which monetary damages alone would not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, the parties agree that in the event of a breach or anticipated breach of this section, the affected party shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach or anticipated breach without the necessity of posting a bond. Any such relief shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any appropriate relief in the way of monetary damages.

13. Links and Third-Party Rights

Company may provide links to other websites or resources. Because we have no control over such sites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that Company is not responsible for the availability or content of such external sites or resources. You may create a link to the Website so long as the link does not portray Company or its products or services in a false, misleading, derogatory, otherwise offensive manner. You may not use any of Company’s logos, trademarks, or other proprietary graphics as part of your link.

You acknowledge and agree that the owners of the Content and certain distributors (such as app store providers) are intended beneficiaries of this Agreement and have the right to enforce this Agreement directly against you. Other than as set out in this section, this Agreement is not intended to grant rights to anyone except you and Company, and in no event shall the Agreement create any third-party beneficiary rights. Furthermore, the rights to terminate, rescind, or agree to any variation, waiver, or settlement of this Agreement are not subject to the consent of any other person.

14. Copyright and Title

The Services and all copyrights, trade secrets and other proprietary rights therein, including any derivative work, are, and will remain the sole property of Company, regardless of the use made by you; and are protected by certain Canadian and international copyright laws and trademark laws. The Services are licensed, not sold, to you. This Agreement confers no title of ownership in the Services and are not a sale of any rights in the Services, including any intellectual property rights related thereto.

15. Warranty

Company warrants that the Services, with the exception of any beta trial, and all elements thereof do not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party and agree to hold you harmless and indemnify you with respect to any final judgment obtained by a third party based on a claim that the Services infringe on the intellectual property rights of such third party.

16. Disclaimer of Warranty

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, ORAL, WRITTEN, STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF PERFORMANCE OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE THE AVAILABILITY, ACCURACY, OR TRUTHFULNESS OF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ALL ERRORS CAN BE CORRECTED, OR THAT OPERATION OF THE WEBSITE AND/OR DELIVERY OF THE SERVICES SHALL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. Because some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, such limitation may not apply in its entirety to Licensee. Any warranties made in this Agreement are for your benefit only.

17. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT WILL COMPANY, ITS SUPPLIERS, SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OF OR RELIANCE UPON THE SERVICES, EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL COMPANY’S TOTAL LIABILITY OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND USE OF THE SERVICES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTY CLAIMS), REGARDLESS OF THE FORUM AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY ACTION OR CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU DURING THE 12-MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO SUCH CLAIM ARISING. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE AND CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT DESPITE ANY FAILURE OF CONSIDERATION OR OF AN EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PRICES HAVE BEEN SET AND THE AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO IN RELIANCE UPON THESE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND THAT ALL SUCH LIMITATIONS FORM AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SUCH LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY.

18. Service Limitations and Modifications

Company will make reasonable efforts to keep the Services operational. However, certain technical difficulties or maintenance may, from time to time, result in temporary interruptions. To the extent permissible under applicable law, we reserve the right, periodically and at any time, to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, functions and features of the Services, with or without notice, all without liability to you, except where prohibited by law, for any interruption, modification, or discontinuation of the Services or any function or feature thereof. You understand and agree that Company has no obligation to maintain, support, upgrade, or update the Services, or to provide all or any specific content through the Services. Company and/or the owners of any Content may, from time to time, remove any such Content without notice to the extent permitted by applicable law.

19. Term and Termination; Survival

This Agreement will continue to apply to you until terminated by either you or Company. However, you acknowledge and agree that the perpetual license granted by you in relation to User Content is irrevocable and will therefore continue after expiry or termination of any of this Agreement for any reason. We may terminate this Agreement or suspend your access to the Services at any time, including in the event of your actual or suspected unauthorized use of the Services and/or Content, or non-compliance with this Agreement. You may terminate this Agreement at any time.

Any sections of this Agreement that, either explicitly or by their nature, must remain in effect even after termination of the Agreements, shall survive termination.

20. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The Services are operated by Company from its offices in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The validity, construction, and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada, without reference to choice of law principles. You expressly agree that exclusive jurisdiction for any claim or dispute with Company, this Agreement, or relating in any way to your use of the Services resides in the federal and provincial courts located in the province of British Columbia, and you do hereby submit to and consent to jurisdiction and venue in the courts of that province. You agree to waive any defense pertaining to jurisdiction and venue. In the event any provision hereof shall be held by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

21. Non-Solicitation

During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of one year after termination, neither party shall directly solicit for hire any employees of the other party without the written permission of the other party. The parties acknowledge that the employees of each party represent a significant investment in recruitment and training, the loss of which would be detrimental to that party’s current and future business and profits. The parties further recognize that determining the damages in the event of a breach of this provision can be very difficult, and therefore agree that, if a party breaches this provision by directly soliciting employees of the other party, then the offending party shall pay the other party damages for the breach of an amount equal to one year’s compensation at the rate the employee was being paid. This shall be the full measure of damages for breach of this provision. The foregoing non-solicitation provision shall not apply to a party’s employee response to a general advertisement of employment by the other party, that is provided to the general public (rather than targeting an individual) and made available via media of general circulation (including, without limitation, a party’s website).

22. Attorney Fees

In case of an action to enforce any rights or conditions of this Agreement, or appeal from said proceeding, it is mutually agreed that the losing party in such suit, action, proceeding or appeal shall pay the prevailing party’s reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred.

23. Entire Agreement

This Agreement is a binding contract and constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof; are intended as the parties’ final expression and complete and exclusive statement of the terms hereof, superseding all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, communications, and understandings, whether written or oral; and may be amended or modified only by an instrument in writing signed by both parties.

24. Non-Waiver

No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision, whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. Failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of such provision or any other provision or of the right to enforce such provision or any other provision.

25. Severability; Binding Effect

If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity and enforceability of any such provision in any other respect and of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be impaired. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties and their heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns.

26. Force Majeure

Company will not be liable for or be considered to be in breach of or default under this Agreement on account of, any delay or failure to perform as required by this Agreement as a result of any cause or condition beyond Company’s reasonable control.

27. Defense and Indemnification

In addition to the other provisions of this Agreement, you agree to defend Company from any actual or threatened third party claim arising out of or based upon your use of the Services, your failure to comply with any of the provisions of applicable law, and your breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement. In addition, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Company from and against: (a) all damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees finally awarded against Company in any proceeding under this section; (b) all out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by Company in connection with the defense of such proceeding (other than when you have accepted defense of such claim); and (c) if any proceeding arising under this section is settled, any amounts to any third party agreed to by you in settlement of any such claims.

29. Independent Contractors

The parties to this Agreement are independent contractors, and there is no actual or intended relationship of agency, partnership, joint venture, employment or franchise between the parties. Neither party is an agent of the other party, and neither party has the authority to bind the other party, or to incur any obligation on the other party’s behalf.

30. GDPR Obligations

The use of your information can be limited, or the information can be corrected, deleted, or exported to you or a third-party of your choice, except as required by law as indicated above.

The GDPR requires that we have a lawful basis for our processing of information about you. For our users, this lawful basis is these Terms under which we provide you the Services. We only process your Information in connection with our contractual relationship with you and only in a manner that furthers the purposes of that contractual relationship. Our Privacy Policy outlines those purposes. If we wish to use your Information in a manner not disclosed by this Privacy Policy, we will contact you and obtain your consent before doing so.

For employees and other authorized users operating in their role as administrators or users of our Services, our lawful basis is the legitimate interest we have in providing the Services to you.

In turn, you, your employees, and your other authorized users (if any) agree to be bound by the provisions of the GDPR with respect to any personal data (“Data”) with which you come in contact using the Services, including without limitation the personal data belonging to individuals with whom you communicate or whose personal data you access using the Services. Specifically, you agree that you, your employees, or other authorized users will:

    • A. Never access, process, transfer, view, use, or store any Data of any third party without express authorization, and then only for purposes directly related to fulfilling your contractual obligations under your agreement with any third party (“Data Secrecy”);
    • B. Keep all Data strictly confidential and disclose Data only on a strict need-to-know basis to other employees or authorized users only as required for fulfilling an individual’s contractual obligations (“Confidentiality”); however, you agree that you shall not disclose or otherwise make accessible Data under any circumstances to anyone who has not been obliged to Data Secrecy and Confidentiality.
    • C. Ensure that your obligations of Data Secrecy and Confidentiality are observed forever, both during and after the expiration and/or termination of any agreement with us or any contractual relationship you may have with an employer or other party.
    • ​D. Upon our request to provide Company with satisfactory evidence that you have complied with your obligations of Data Secrecy and Confidentiality as set forth in this agreement.

    The GDPR also requires us to take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the security of Data belonging to residents of Europe. We make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the privacy and security of the Data of our European visitors and customers, and we are happy to give you a complete description of our most current efforts, if you will write us at info@hostyapp.com.
