We make every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours, features, specifications, and details of the Marketplace Offerings available on the Site.

All descriptions or pricing of the Marketplace Offerings are subject to change at any time without notice, at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any Marketplace Offerings at any time for any reason. We do not warrant that the quality of any of the Marketplace Offerings purchased by you will meet your expectations or that any errors in the Site will be corrected.

6. Purchases and payment

In addition to our third party payment processor, Stripe, which we currently offer, we offer a number of payment methods on the Platform. Additional terms and conditions imposed by the relevant third party payment processor may apply to the payment method you select. The relevant terms and conditions are accepted by you if you pay using a third-party payment processor.

All payments made are considered final in the absence of fraud or error. If you pay with a debit card or credit card, you guarantee that the information you give us is accurate and up-to-date, that you are authorised to use the card to make the purchase, that your card issuer will honour the transaction, and that you will keep enough money in your account to cover the cost of the purchase.

When making purchases of Marketplace Offerings through the Site, you agree to give current, complete, and accurate account and purchase information. In order for us to complete your transactions and get in touch with you as necessary, you also agree to promptly update your account and payment information, including your email address, payment method, and payment card expiration date. As required by us, sales tax will be added to the cost of purchases. Price adjustments are always possible. All payments must be made in Australian dollars (AUD).

You authorise us to charge your preferred payment method for any such sums at the time of placing your order, and you agree to pay all charges for your purchases and any applicable shipping fees at the prices in effect at the time. Even if payment has already been requested or received, we reserve the right to correct any typographical or pricing errors.

Listings

When a Booking Request is accepted, you consent to paying the pertinent fees listed in the Listing (Booking Fee). You won't be billed if your booking request is rejected. If the Host accepts your Booking Request, payment will be processed within 24 hours of that action, or if the Booking is more than 90 days away at the time of the Host's acceptance of a Booking Request, payment won't be processed until the Booking is 90 days away. We will email you and give you the option to make payment if we are unable to process your payment for any reason, such as insufficient funds in your bank account or a card that has expired. Your Booking will be deemed to be cancelled by you if your payment still cannot be processed after we have contacted you, and your cancellation will be handled in accordance with the "Refund and Cancellation" clause below.

You authorise us to charge you to collect any Overstay Fees that become due and payable within 72 hours of check-out.

Refunds and Cancellations

Any refund will be determined by the cancellation policy stated in the Listing if you cancel a Booking (including if the Booking is deemed to have been cancelled by you due to non-payment of the Booking Fee by the due date). If you are entitled to a refund, we will credit the original payment method you used to make the Booking with the refund amount (which is always less our Service Fee).

We will reimburse you for the entire booking fee you paid if a host cancels a reservation.

Users

For disputes between Users, we encourage the parties to attempt to resolve disputes (including claims for returns or refunds) with the other party directly and in good faith, either on the Platform or through external communication methods. In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved through these means, the parties may choose to resolve the dispute in any manner agreed between the parties or otherwise in accordance with applicable laws.

Disputes

You consent to refrain from challenging the Booking Fees through your bank, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Please use the Platform to get in touch with us if you have questions about a charge.

We will suspend your Account and cancel future Bookings in accordance with these Terms if you dispute a charge with your bank directly before contacting us to try to resolve the issue.

Any order submitted through the Site may be rejected at our discretion. We reserve the right to impose a limit on the number of items that can be purchased per person, household, or order, or to cancel individual orders altogether. Orders placed by or under the same customer account, using the same payment method, or using the same billing or shipping address are all examples of restrictions that may apply. We reserve the right to restrict or forbid orders that appear to have been placed by resellers, dealers, or distributors in our sole discretion.

Security Deposit

In the event that the Host asserts that you have damaged their property within 14 days of the end of the completed Booking, you agree that we may charge you a security deposit in the amount specified on the Platform (Security Deposit). You consent to the subsequent procedure:

In the event of a claim, the Host will contact you via the Platform to inform you of the claim and to provide you with supporting documentation.
If you accept the claim, we will deduct the amount from your security deposit and pay the host.
We may mediate the dispute in accordance with these Terms if you contest the claim.

In the event of a dispute, the Host will get in touch with us, and we will request that you respond to the claim in writing. You agree that we may charge against your Security Deposit and reimburse the Host if no response is received within 48 hours. If you reply, we may decide whether there is a claim and deduct the cost from your security deposit or, if we choose not to, accept that there is none.
