Disclaimer of Liability Related to Units

By using the Services, you agree that any legal remedy or liability you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of Users or third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Users Or other third parties who caused the harm. You agree not to attempt to impose liability on or seek any legal remedy from LussoStay with respect to actions or omissions of such third parties.

Service Fees

 LussoStay collects service fees from Owners and Guests in consideration for the Services. Where applicable, Taxes may also be charged in addition to the Service fees, which LussoStay will remit to the local taxing authority for the Unit. If you are Owner, you are solely liable and responsible for determining your obligations to report, collect and remit Taxes associated with providing the Units. LussoStay will remit balances to Owners via the payment methods described in the Services. For certain specific Services (such as cleaning), LussoStay will collect service fees from Guests and remit balances due to the local service providers for such services directly. Please note that for any payments by LussoStay in currencies other than U.S. dollars, LussoStay may deduct foreign currency processing costs from such payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, Service Fees are non-refundable.

Likewise, Guests may not leave any such devices or items in or around the Units to monitor, record, or survey the Owner or other Guests. At no time may any User monitor, record, or survey any person, in sensitive areas, such as bathrooms and bedrooms, where total privacy is reasonably expected. Any violation of these restrictions may result in the violator being banned from the Services and reported to the appropriate authorities, following applicable law. Lussostay.com complies with all PCI standards.

Entire Agreement

 These Terms (including the Additional Terms) constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between LussoStay and you regarding the Services, Applications, and any bookings or Listings of Units made via the Services, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between LussoStay and you regarding the Services. These Terms supersede all prior and contemporaneous oral or written negotiations and agreements between you and LussoStay with respect to such subject matter.

 

Assignment

 You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without LussoStay’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect, and LussoStay may immediately terminate these Terms and your access to the Services as a result. LussoStay may assign or transfer these Terms, at its sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, and their permitted successors and assigns.

 

Notices

 Any notices or other communications permitted or required hereunder, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be in writing and given by LussoStay (i) via email (in each case to the address that you provide) or (ii) by posting to the Site or via the Application. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

 

Controlling Law and Jurisdiction

 These Terms will be interpreted following the laws of the State of Nevada and the United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. The parties agree that neither the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods nor the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) shall apply to these Terms, regardless of the states in which the parties do business or are incorporated.

 

Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

ALL CLAIMS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY ASSERT CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT (DEFINED FOR THE PURPOSES OF THESE TERMS AS A COURT OF LIMITED JURISDICTION THAT MAY ONLY HEAR CLAIMS NOT EXCEEDING $5,000) IF YOUR CLAIMS ARE WITHIN THE COURT’S JURISDICTION. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED.

 

The arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its then-applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules or, as appropriate, its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The AAA’s rules are available at https://www.adr.org/. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees shall be governed by the AAA’s rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language by a single independent and neutral arbitrator. For any hearing conducted in person as part of the arbitration, you agree that such hearing shall be conducted in Reno, Nevada or, if the Consumer Arbitration Rules apply, another location reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances, as determined by the arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding. Judgment on the arbitral award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

WE EACH AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR OTHER SIMILAR PROCESS (INCLUDING CLASS ARBITRATION). IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND AGREE THAT SUCH CLAIM SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN RENO, NEVADA. YOU HEREBY SUBMIT TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION ON THE GROUNDS OF VENUE, FORUM NON-CONVENIENS, OR ANY SIMILAR GROUNDS CONCERNING ANY SUCH CLAIM.

 

If LussoStay implements any material change to this Section, such change shall not apply to any such claim for which you provided written notice to LussoStay before the implementation of the change.

 

Right to Preliminary and Injunctive Relief 

 Despite any other provision herein, each party agrees that money damages would be an inadequate remedy in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions in these Terms protecting such party’s intellectual property and/or such party’s confidential information and that in the event of such a breach or threat, such party, in addition to any other remedies to which it is entitled, is entitled to such preliminary or injunctive relief (including an order prohibiting the other party from taking actions in breach of such provisions), without the need for posting bond, as well as specific performance as may be appropriate to preserve all of such party’s rights.

 

General

 The failure of LussoStay to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. If for any reason an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. These Terms may not be amended by you except in a writing executed by you and an authorized representative of LussoStay. Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms. For these Terms, the words “such as,” “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Any prevention of or delay in the performance by LussoStay hereunder due to labor disputes, acts of God, failure of the Internet, governmental restrictions, enemy or hostile governmental action, fire or another casualty, or other causes beyond its reasonable control shall excuse the performance of its obligations for a period equal to the duration of any such prevention or delay.
