**1 Terms of Service**

Last Updated: February 6, 2024

Thank you for using Rentiva!

These Terms of Service (“**Terms**”) are a binding legal agreement between you and Rentiva that govern your right to use the websites, applications, and other offerings from Rentiva (collectively, the “**Rentiva Platform**”). When used in these Terms, “**Rentiva**,” “**we**,” “**us**,” or “**our**” refers to the Rentiva entity set out on Schedule 1 with whom you are contracting. 

The Rentiva Platform offers an online venue that enables users (“**Members**”) to publish, offer, search for, and book services. Members who publish and offer services are “**Hosts**” and Members who search for, book, or use services are “**Guests**.” Hosts offer accommodations (“**Accommodations**”), resources, rooms, and items (“**Items**”), and a variety of travel and other services (collectively, “**Host Services**,” and each Host Service offering, a “**Listing**”). You must register an account to access and use many features of the Rentiva Platform, and must keep your account information accurate. As the provider of the Rentiva Platform, Rentiva does not own, control, offer or manage any Listings or Host Services. Rentiva is not a party to the contracts entered into directly between Hosts and Guests, nor is Rentiva a real estate broker, travel agency, or insurer. Rentiva is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member. To learn more about Rentiva’s role see Section 15.

If you are a Host, you are responsible for understanding and complying with all laws, rules, regulations and contracts with third parties that apply to your Host Services.

**1\. Our Mission**.

Our mission is to create a world where you can belong anywhere. From cabins to office rooms to vacuums, browse through all the Listings to find the ones that fit the way you like to live. Learn more about a Listing by reviewing the description and photos, the Host profile. If you have questions, just message the Host. 

**2\. Searching and Booking on Rentiva**.

**2.1 Searching**. You can search for Host Services by using criteria like the type of Host Service, travel destination, dates, and number of guests. You can also use filters to refine your search results. Search results are based on their relevance to your search and other criteria. Relevance considers factors like price, availability, Reviews, customer service and cancellation history, popularity, previous trips and saved Listings, Host requirements (e.g. minimum or maximum nights), and more. 

**2.2 Booking**. When you book a Listing, you are agreeing to pay all charges for your booking including the Listing price, applicable fees like [Rentiva’s service fee](https://help.rentiva.app/page/1573), taxes, and any other items identified during checkout (collectively, “**Total Price**”). You are also agreeing that Rentiva via Worldline may charge the Payment Method used to book the Listing in order to collect Damage Claim (as defined in Section 15) amounts. When you receive the booking confirmation, a contract for Host Services (a **"Reservation"**) is formed directly between you and the Host. In addition to these Terms, you will be subject to, and responsible for complying with, all terms of the Reservation, including without limitation, the cancellation policy and any other rules, standards, policies, or requirements identified in the Listing or during checkout that apply to the Reservation. It is your responsibility to read and understand these rules, standards, policies, and requirements prior to booking a Listing. Be aware that some Hosts work with a co-host or as part of a team to provide their Host Services. 

**2.3 Accommodation Reservations**. An Accommodation Reservation is a limited license to enter, occupy, and use the Accommodation. The Host retains the right to re-enter the Accommodation during your stay, to the extent: (i) it is reasonably necessary, (ii) permitted by your contract with the Host, and (iii) consistent with applicable law. If you stay past checkout, the Host has the right to make you leave in a manner consistent with applicable law, including by imposing reasonable overstay penalties. You may not exceed the maximum number of allowed Guests. 

**2.4 Reservations for Experiences and Other Host Services**. An Experience or other Host Service Reservation entitles you to participate in, attend, or use that Host Service. You are responsible for confirming that you, and anyone you invite, meet minimum age, proficiency, fitness, or other requirements. You are responsible for informing the Host of any medical or physical conditions, or other circumstances that may impact your ability to participate, attend, or use the Host Service. Except where expressly authorized, you may not allow any person to join a Host Service unless they are included as an additional guest during the booking process. 

**3\. Cancellations, Travel Issues, Refunds and Booking Modifications**. 

**3.1 Cancellations, Travel Issues, and Refunds**. In general, if as a Guest you cancel a Reservation, the amount refunded to you is determined by the cancellation policy that applies to that Reservation. But, in certain situations, other policies take precedence and determine what amount is refunded to you.

**3.2 Booking Modifications**. Guests and Hosts are responsible for any booking modifications they agree to make via the Rentiva Platform or direct Rentiva customer service to make on their behalf ("**Booking Modifications**"), and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees, or taxes associated with any Booking Modification.

**4\. Your Responsibilities and Assumption of Risk**.

**4.1 Your Responsibilities**. You are responsible and liable for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you invite to join or provide access to any Accommodation, Experience or other Host Service. For example, this means: (i) you are responsible for leaving an Accommodation (and related personal property) in the condition it was in when you arrived, (ii) you are responsible for paying all reasonable Damage Claim amounts necessary to cover damage that you, your guest(s), or your pet(s) cause to an Accommodation, and (iii) you must act with integrity, treat others with respect, and comply with applicable laws at all times. If you are booking for an additional guest who is a minor or if you bring a minor to a Host Service, you must be legally authorized to act on behalf of the minor and you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor. 

**4.2 Your Assumption of Risk**. **You acknowledge that many activities carry inherent risks and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Rentiva Platform and any Content (as defined in Section 10), including your stay at any Accommodation, participation in any Experience, use of any other Host Service, or any other interaction you have with other Members whether in person or online. This means it is your responsibility to investigate a Host Service to determine whether it is suitable for you. For example, Host Services may carry risk of illness, bodily injury, disability, or death, and you freely and willfully assume those risks by choosing to participate in those Host Services.** 

**4 Host Terms**

**5\. Hosting on Rentiva**.

**5.1 Host**. As a Host, Rentiva offers you the right to use the Rentiva Platform to share your Accommodation, Experience, or other Host Service with our vibrant community of Guests - and earn money doing it. It’s easy to create a Listing and you are in control of how you host - set your price, availability, and rules for each Listing. 

**5.2 Contracting with Guests**. When you accept a booking request, or receive a booking confirmation through the Rentiva Platform, you are entering into a contract directly with the Guest, and are responsible for delivering your Host Service under the terms and at the price specified in your Listing. You are also agreeing to pay applicable fees like [Rentiva’s service fee](https://help.rentiva.app/page/1573) (and applicable taxes) for each booking. Rentiva Payment will deduct amounts you owe from your payout unless we and you agree to a different method. Any terms, policies or conditions that you include in any supplemental contract with Guests must: (i) be consistent with these Terms and the information provided in your Listing, and (ii) be prominently disclosed in your Listing description.

**5.3 Independence of Hosts**. Your relationship with Rentiva is that of an independent individual or entity and not an employee, agent, joint venturer, or partner of Rentiva, except that Rentiva Payment acts as a payment collection agent. Rentiva does not direct or control your Host Service, and you agree that you have complete discretion whether and when to provide Host Services, and at what price and on what terms to offer them.

**6\. Managing Your Listing**. 

**6.1 Creating and Managing Your Listing**. The Rentiva Platform provides tools that make it easy for you to set up and manage a Listing. Your Listing must include complete and accurate information about your Host Service, your price, other charges like cleaning fees, resort fees, and any rules or requirements that apply to your Guests or Listing. You are responsible for keeping your Listing information (including calendar availability) and content (like photos) up-to-date and accurate at all times. We recommend that you obtain appropriate insurance for your Host Services and suggest you carefully review policy terms and conditions including coverage details and exclusions.

**6.2 Know Your Legal Obligations**. You are responsible for understanding and complying with any laws, rules, regulations, and contracts with third parties that apply to your Listing or Host Services. For example: Some landlords and leases, or homeowner and condominium association rules, restrict or prohibit subletting, short-term rentals and/or longer-term stays. Some cities have zoning or other laws that restrict the short-term rental of residential properties. Some jurisdictions require Hosts to register, get a permit, or obtain a license before providing certain Host Services (such as short-term rentals, longer-term stays, preparing food, serving alcohol for sale, guiding tours, or operating a vehicle). In some places, the Host Services you want to offer may be prohibited altogether. Some jurisdictions require that you register Guests who stay at your Accommodation. Some jurisdictions have laws that create tenancy rights for Guests and additional obligations for Hosts. For example, some places have landlord-tenant, rent control, and eviction laws that may apply to longer stays. Check your local rules to learn what rules apply to the Host Services you plan to offer. Information we provide regarding legal requirements is for informational purposes only and you should independently confirm your obligations. You are responsible for handling and using personal data of Guests and others in compliance with applicable privacy laws and these Terms. If you have questions about how local laws apply you should always seek legal advice. 

**6.4 Your Responsibilities**. You are responsible and liable for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you allow to participate in providing your Host Services. You are responsible for setting your price and establishing rules and requirements for your Listing. You must describe any and all fees and charges in your Listing description and may not collect any additional fees or charges outside the Rentiva Platform. Do not encourage Guests to create third-party accounts, submit reviews, provide their contact information, or take other actions outside the Rentiva Platform. 

**6.5 Hosting as a Team or Organization**. If you work with a co-host or host as part of a team, business, or other organization, the entity and each individual who participates in providing Host Services is responsible and liable as a Host under these Terms. If you accept terms or enter into contracts, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to enter into contracts for and bind your team, business or other organization, and that each entity you use is in good standing under the laws of the place where it is established. If you perform other functions, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to perform those functions. If you instruct Rentiva to transfer a portion of your payout to a co-host or other Hosts, or to send payments to someone else, you must be authorized to do so, and are responsible and liable for the payment amounts and accuracy of any payout information you provide. 

**6.6 Your Assumption of Risk**. **You acknowledge that hosting carries inherent risks and agree that you assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Rentiva Platform, offering Host Services, or any interaction you have with other Members whether in person or online. You agree that you have had the opportunity to investigate the Rentiva Platform and any laws, rules, regulations, or obligations that may be applicable to your Listings or Host Services and that you are not relying upon any statement of law made by Rentiva.**

**7\. Cancellations, Travel Issues, and Booking Modifications**. 

**7.1 Cancellations and Travel Issues**. In general, if a Guest cancels a Reservation, the amount paid to you is determined by the cancellation policy that applies to that Reservation. If a Reservation is cancelled under Section 13 of these Terms, the amount you are paid will be reduced by the amount we refund or otherwise provide to the Guest, and by any other reasonable costs we incur as a result of the cancellation. If a Guest receives a refund after you have already been paid, or the amount of the refund and other costs incurred by Rentiva exceeds your payout, Rentiva (via Rentiva Payment) may recover that amount from you, including by offsetting the refund against your future payouts.

**7.2 Booking Modifications**. Hosts and Guests are responsible for any Booking Modifications they agree to make via the Rentiva Platform or direct Rentiva customer service to make on their behalf, and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees or taxes associated with a Booking Modification.

**8\. Taxes**. 

**8.1 Host Taxes**. As a host, you are responsible for determining and fulfilling your obligations under applicable laws to report, collect, remit, or include in your price any applicable VAT or other indirect taxes, occupancy taxes, tourist, income, or other taxes ("**Taxes**"). 

**8.2 Collection and Remittance by Rentiva**. In jurisdictions where Rentiva facilitates the collection and/or remittance of Taxes on behalf of Hosts, you instruct and authorize Rentiva to collect Taxes on your behalf, and/or to remit such Taxes to the relevant Tax authority. Any Taxes that are collected and/or remitted by Rentiva are identified to Members on their transaction records, as applicable. Rentiva may seek additional amounts from Members (including by deducting such amounts from future payouts) in the event that the Taxes collected and/or remitted are insufficient to fully discharge that Members’ tax obligations, and you agree that your sole remedy for Taxes collected by Rentiva is a refund from the applicable Tax authority.

**8.3 Tax Information**. In certain jurisdictions, Tax regulations may require that we collect and/or report Tax information about you, or withhold Taxes from payouts to you, or both. If you fail to provide us with documentation that we determine to be sufficient to support any such obligation to withhold Taxes from payouts to you, we may withhold payouts up to the amount as required by law, until sufficient documentation is provided. You agree that Rentiva may issue on your behalf invoices or similar documentation for VAT, GST, consumption or other Taxes for your Host Services to facilitate accurate tax reporting by you, our Guests, and/or their organizations.

**5 General Terms**

**9\. Reviews**. 

In the future after each Host Service, Guests and Hosts will have an opportunity to review each other. Your Review must be accurate and may not contain any discriminatory, offensive, defamatory, or other language that violates our [Content Policy](https://help.rentiva.app/page/1457). Reviews are not verified by Rentiva for accuracy and may be incorrect or misleading. 

**10\. Content**. 

Parts of the Rentiva Platform enable you to provide feedback, text, photos, audio, video, information, and other content (collectively, “**Content**”). By providing Content, in whatever form and through whatever means, you grant Rentiva a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, sub-licensable and transferable license to copy, modify, prepare derivative works of, distribute, publish and otherwise exploit, that Content, without limitation. If Content includes personal information, our [Privacy Policy](https://help.rentiva.app/page/2513) describes how we use that personal information. Where Rentiva pays for the creation of Content or facilitates its creation, Rentiva may own that Content, in which case supplemental terms or disclosures will say that. You are solely responsible for all Content that you provide and warrant that you either own it or are authorized to grant Rentiva the rights described in these Terms. You are responsible and liable if any of your Content violates or infringes the intellectual property or privacy rights of any third party. Content must comply with our [Content Policy](https://help.rentiva.app/page/1457) and [Nondiscrimination Policy](https://help.rentiva.app/page/1432), which prohibit, among other things, discriminatory, obscene, harassing, deceptive, violent, and illegal content. You agree that Rentiva may make available services or automated tools to translate Content and that your Content may be translated using such services or tools. Rentiva does not guarantee the accuracy or quality of translations and Members are responsible for confirming the accuracy of such translations.

**11\. Fees**. 

Rentiva may charge fees (and applicable Taxes) to Hosts and Guests for the right to use the Rentiva Platform. More information about when service fees apply and how they are calculated can be found on our [Service Fees page](https://help.rentiva.app/page/1573). Except as otherwise provided on the Rentiva Platform, service fees are non-refundable. Rentiva reserves the right to change the service fees at any time, and will provide Members notice of any fee changes before they become effective. Fee changes will not affect bookings made prior to the effective date of the fee change. If you disagree with a fee change you may terminate this agreement at any time pursuant to Section 13.2.

**12.2 Reporting Violations**. If you believe that a Member, Listing or Content poses an imminent risk of harm to a person or property, you should immediately contact local authorities before contacting Rentiva. In addition, if you believe that a Member, Listing or Content has violated our Standards, you should report your concerns to Rentiva. If you reported an issue to local authorities, Rentiva may request a copy of that report. Except as required by law, you agree that we are not obligated to take action in response to any report. 

**12.3 Copyright Notifications**. If you believe that Content on the Rentiva Platform infringes copyrights, please notify us.

**13\. Termination, Suspension and other Measures**.

**13.1 Term**. The agreement between you and Rentiva reflected by these Terms is effective when you access the Rentiva Platform (for example to create an account) and remains in effect until either you or we terminate the agreement in accordance with these Terms. 

**13.2 Termination**. You may terminate this agreement at any time by sending us [an email](mailto:terms@rentiva.app) or by deleting your account. Rentiva may terminate this agreement and your account for any reason by giving you 30 days’ notice via email or using any other contact information you have provided for your account. Rentiva may also terminate this agreement immediately and without notice and stop providing access to the Rentiva Platform if you breach these Terms, you violate applicable laws, or we reasonably believe termination is necessary to protect Rentiva, its Members, or third parties. If your account has been inactive for more than two years, we may terminate your account without prior notice. 

**13.3 Member Violations**. If (i) you breach these Terms, (ii) you violate applicable laws, regulations, or third-party rights, or (iii) Rentiva believes it is reasonably necessary to protect Rentiva, its Members, or third parties; Rentiva may, with or without prior notice: 

-   suspend or limit your access to or use of the Rentiva Platform and/or your account;
    
-   suspend or remove Listings, Reviews, or other Content;
    
-   cancel pending or confirmed bookings; or
    
-   suspend or revoke any special status associated with your account.
    

For minor violations or where otherwise appropriate as Rentiva determines in its sole discretion, you will be given notice of any intended measure by Rentiva and an opportunity to resolve the issue. You may appeal actions taken by us under this Section by contacting customer service. If a Reservation is cancelled under this Section, the amount paid to the Host will be reduced by the amount we refund or otherwise provide to the Guest, and by any other costs we incur as a result of the cancellation.

**13.4 Legal Mandates**. Rentiva may take any action it determines is reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, or the order or request of a court, law enforcement, or other administrative agency or governmental body, including the measures described above in Section 13.3.

**13.5 Effect of Termination**. If you are a Host and terminate your Rentiva account, any confirmed booking(s) will be automatically cancelled and your Guests will receive a full refund. If you terminate your account as a Guest, any confirmed booking(s) will be automatically cancelled and any refund will depend upon the terms of the Reservation’s cancellation policy. When this agreement has been terminated, you are not entitled to a restoration of your account or any of your Content. If your access to or use of the Rentiva Platform has been limited, or your Rentiva account has been suspended, or this agreement has been terminated by us, you may not register a new account or access or use the Rentiva Platform through an account of another Member.

**13.6 Survival**. Parts of these Terms that by their nature survive termination, will survive termination of this agreement, including Sections 2 through 22.

**14\. Modification**.

Rentiva may modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes to these Terms, we will post the revised Terms on the Rentiva Platform and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms. We will also provide you with notice of any material changes by email at least 30 days before the date they become effective. If you disagree with the revised Terms, you may terminate this agreement immediately as provided in these Terms. If you do not terminate your agreement before the date the revised Terms become effective, your continued access to or use of the Rentiva Platform will constitute acceptance of the revised Terms.

**15\. Rentiva’s Role**. 

We offer you the right to use a platform that enables Members to publish, offer, search for, and book Host Services. While we work hard to ensure our Members have great experiences using Rentiva, we do not and cannot control the conduct of Guests and Hosts. You acknowledge that Rentiva has the right, but does not have any obligation, to monitor the use of the Rentiva Platform and verify information provided by our Members. For example, we may review, disable access to, remove, or edit Content to: (i) operate, secure and improve the Rentiva Platform (including for fraud prevention, risk assessment, investigation and customer support purposes); (ii) ensure Members’ compliance with these Terms; (iii) comply with applicable law or the order or requirement of a court, law enforcement or other administrative agency or governmental body; (iv) address Content that we determine is harmful or objectionable; (v) take actions set out in these Terms; and (vi) maintain and enforce any quality or eligibility criteria, including by removing Listings that don’t meet quality and eligibility criteria. Members acknowledge and agree that Rentiva administers its Terms, Policies and Standards, including decisions about whether and how to apply them to a particular situation, at its sole discretion. Members agree to cooperate with and assist Rentiva in good faith, and to provide Rentiva with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Rentiva with respect to any investigation undertaken by Rentiva regarding the use or abuse of the Rentiva Platform.

**16\. Member Accounts**. 

You must register an account to access and use many features of the Rentiva Platform. Registration is only permitted for legal entities, partnerships and natural persons who are 18 years or older. You represent and warrant that you are not a person or entity barred from using the Rentiva Platform under the laws of the United States, your place of residence, or any other applicable jurisdiction. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep your account information up-to-date. You may not register more than one account or transfer your account to someone else. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials and may not disclose your credentials to any third party. You are responsible and liable for activities conducted through your account and must immediately notify Rentiva if you suspect that your credentials have been lost, stolen, or your account is otherwise compromised. If and as permitted by applicable law, we may, but have no obligation to (i) ask you to provide identification or other information, (ii) undertake checks designed to help verify your identity or background, (iii) screen you against third-party databases or other sources and request reports from service providers, and (iv) obtain reports from public records of criminal convictions or sex offender registrations or their local equivalents.

**17\. Disclaimer of Warranties**.

**We provide the Rentiva Platform and all Content “as is” without warranty of any kind and we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied. For example: (i) we do not endorse or warrant the existence, conduct, performance, safety, quality, legality or suitability of any Guest, Host, Host Service, Listing or third party; (ii) we do not warrant the performance or non-interruption of the Rentiva Platform; and (iii) we do not warrant that verification, identity or background checks conducted on Listings or Members (if any) will identify past misconduct or prevent future misconduct. Any references to a Member or Listing being "verified" (or similar language) indicate only that the Member or Listing or Rentiva has completed a relevant verification or identification process and nothing else. The disclaimers in these Terms apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. If you have statutory rights or warranties we cannot disclaim, the duration of any such statutorily required rights or warranties, will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.**

**18\. Limitations on Liability**.

**Neither Rentiva (including its affiliates and personnel) nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Rentiva Platform or any Content will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute products or services, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with (i) these Terms, (ii) the use of or inability to use the Rentiva Platform or any Content, (iii) any communications, interactions or meetings you may have with someone you interact or meet with through, or as a result of, your use of the Rentiva Platform, or (iv) publishing or booking of a Listing, including the provision or use of Host Services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not Rentiva has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set out in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose.** 

**Except for our obligation to transmit payments to Hosts under these Terms, or make payments, in no event will Rentiva’s aggregate liability for any claim or dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms, your interaction with any Members, or your use of or inability to use the Rentiva Platform, any Content, or any Host Service, exceed: (A) to Guests, the amount you paid as a Guest during the 12-month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability, (B) to Hosts, the amount paid to you as a Host in the 12-month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability, or (C) to anyone else, one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).** 

**These limitations of liability and damages are fundamental elements of the agreement between you and Rentiva. If applicable law does not allow the limitations of liability set out in these Terms, the above limitations may not apply to you.**

**19\. Indemnification**.

**To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to release, defend (at Rentiva’s option), indemnify, and hold Rentiva (including Rentiva Payment, other affiliates, and their personnel) harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (i) your breach of these Terms (including any supplemental or additional terms that apply to a product or feature) or Policies and Standards,  (ii) your improper use of the Rentiva Platform, (iii) your interaction with any Member, stay at an Accommodation, participation in an Experience or other Host Service, including without limitation any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction, stay, participation or use, (iv) your failure, or our failure at your direction, to accurately report, collect or remit Taxes, or (v) your breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights such as intellectual property or privacy rights.**

**20\. Contracting Entities**. 

Based on your country of residence or establishment and what you are doing on the Rentiva Platform, Schedule 1 below sets out the Rentiva entity with whom you are contracting. If we identify through the Rentiva Platform, an Rentiva entity other than the one set out on Schedule 1 as being responsible for a product, feature or transaction, the Rentiva entity so identified is your contracting entity with respect to that product, feature or transaction. If you change your country of residence or establishment, the Rentiva company you contract with (as set out on Schedule 1) and the applicable version of the Terms of Service will be determined by your new country of residence or establishment, from the date on which your country of residence or establishment changes.

**21\. Dispute Resolution, Venue and Forum, and Governing Law**. These Terms will be interpreted in accordance with Swiss law. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded. If you are acting as an individual consumer and if mandatory statutory consumer protection regulations in your country of residence contain provisions that are more beneficial for you, such provisions shall apply irrespective of the choice of Swiss law. As an individual consumer, you may bring any judicial proceedings relating to these Terms before the competent court of your place of residence or the competent court of Rentiva's place of business in Switzerland. If Rentiva wishes to enforce any of its rights against you as a consumer, we may do so only in the courts of the jurisdiction in which you are a resident. If you are acting as a business, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Swiss courts.

**22\. Miscellaneous**.

**22.1 Interpreting these Terms**. Except as they may be supplemented by additional terms, conditions, policies, guidelines, standards, and in-product disclosures, these Terms (including those items incorporated by reference) constitute the entire agreement between Rentiva and you pertaining to your access to or use of the Rentiva Platform and supersede any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Rentiva and you. These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon anyone other than you and Rentiva. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be struck and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. Where the word “will” is used in these Terms it connotes an obligation with the same meaning as “shall.”

**22.2 No Waiver**. Rentiva’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise permitted under law.

**22.3 Assignment**. You may not assign, transfer or delegate this agreement or your rights and obligations hereunder without Rentiva's prior written consent. Rentiva may without restriction assign, transfer or delegate this agreement and any rights and obligations hereunder, at its sole discretion, with 30 days’ prior notice. 

**22.4 Notice**. Unless specified otherwise, any notices or other communications to Members permitted or required under this agreement, will be provided electronically and given by Rentiva via email, Rentiva Platform notification, messaging service (including SMS and WeChat), or any other contact method we enable and you provide.

**22.5 Third-Party Services**. The Rentiva Platform may contain links to third-party websites, applications, services or resources (“**Third-Party Services**”) that are subject to different terms and privacy practices. Rentiva is not responsible or liable for any aspect of such Third-Party Services and links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement.

Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties for merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

You may not use, copy, adapt, modify, prepare derivative works of, distribute, license, sell, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, broadcast or otherwise exploit any Content accessed through the Rentiva Platform except to the extent you are the legal owner of that Content or as expressly permitted in these Terms.

**22.9 Force Majeure**. Rentiva shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, pandemics, epidemics or disease, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.

**22.10 Emails and SMS**. You will receive administrative communications from us using the email address or other contact information you provide for your Rentiva account. Enrollment in additional email subscription programs will not affect the frequency of these administrative emails, though you should expect to receive additional emails specific to the program(s) to which you have subscribed. You may also receive promotional emails from us. No fee is charged for these promotional emails, but third-party data rates could apply. You can control whether you receive promotional emails using the notification preferences in your account settings.
