Guests and Hosts are advised to read carefully the Terms of Use For the purposes of these Terms, we refer You in particular to Section C/clause 7 (Terms particular to Hosts) and Section C/Clause 8 (Terms particular to Guests) of the Terms of Use which You are required to acknowledge and accept.

2.2 You acknowledge and accept that We do not consider that we act as a travel agent generally in relation to the provision of Our Service or in respect of Your actual rental transactions concluded with Hosts as We are not a party to such actual rental transactions and We do not buy-in, re-sell or provide accommodation or other travel services in Our own name as mentioned further below and in Section A of the Terms of Use. However, if, as a matter of law or in the opinion of any tax or other authority in any jurisdiction Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd is or could be considered a travel agent in any jurisdiction in respect of taking part in, or providing a Service consisting of the intermediation in, the provision of accommodation by Hosts to Guests pursuant to a Booking on Our Site, You acknowledge and accept that in those circumstances and for the purposes of these Terms and rental transactions concluded between Guests and Hosts, Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd: (i) acts as the Host’s disclosed agent or intermediary in the name of and on behalf of Hosts who have listed their properties on Our Site, and not in any way in its own name, and such services supplied, acting in that capacity, in taking part in, or consisting of the intermediation in, the provision of a Host’s accommodation listed on Our Site and/or in facilitating the conclusion of such rental transactions are supplied to Hosts; and (ii) that Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd is not and cannot be a Host.

7. Terms of Use particular to Hosts accepting Bookings

7.1 As a Host, You may create or add listings and You will be asked a variety of questions about the holiday rental accommodation You intend to list, including, but not limited to, the location, features, availability of the accommodation and pricing and You may include certain Terms or requirements which must be met by Guests as part of any potential rental transaction relating to Your listed Property. More information on how to add such requirements is available on Our Site. All accommodations must have valid addresses in order to be featured in listings on the Site. Your listings will be made publicly available via the Site and Guests will be able to book Your holiday rental Property via the Site based upon the information provided in Your listing. You, and not Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd, are solely responsible for determining the rental price to be displayed in Your listing and any additional charges (for example, cleaning fees) to be included or factored into such price (Your “Host Fee”). You understand and agree that once a Guest requests a Booking of Your listed accommodation, the rental rate You have set for such Booking request may not be altered. As a Host, You acknowledge and agree that You are solely responsible for any and all of Your listings of holiday rental properties on Our Site.

7.2 You warrant, represent and undertake that all and any listings You place on Our Site relate to available accommodation at an existing Property. If You are not the owner of such Property You warrant, represent and undertake that You have all necessary rights, including without limitation the express authorisation from the owner, to deal with the Property, including creating listings related to it and offering it for holiday rentals.

7.3 In accordance with these Terms, if, as a Host, You add a Property as available for rental on Our Site, Your Use of the Site is a means of enabling You to connect or be introduced to Users who may become Guests for the purposes of concluding a rental transaction with You. Our Service to You as a Host shall include supporting and assisting You in listing, marketing, promoting and advertising Your Property on Our Site. However, as noted above, We cannot and do not in any way act as a contracting agent or representative for You as a Host, nor as a broker or insurer in each case, in relation to Your rental transactions which You conclude with Guests via the Site, but we can and shall act as Your disclosed agent or intermediary in Your name and on Your behalf in relation to handling or managing payment collection processes involving advanced payment and cancellation transactions with Guests, which processes are governed by the Booking Terms. Our Service to You as a Host in relation to the provision of information and email or messaging services shall also include assisting You in respect of communications with Guests through the Site, for example, in receiving, notifying and forwarding to You any Booking requests or enquiries made through the Site by a Guest and in receiving and handling cancellation requests from Guests.

7.4 You acknowledge and accept that We do not consider that we act as a travel agent generally in relation to the provision of Our Site and/or Our Service or in respect of Your actual rental transactions concluded with Guests as We are not a party to such actual rental transactions and We do not buy-in, re-sell or provide accommodation or other travel services in Our own name as mentioned in Section 2 above. However if, as a matter of law or in the opinion of any tax or other authority in any jurisdiction Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd is or could be considered a travel agent in respect of taking part in, or providing Services consisting of the intermediation in, the provision of accommodation by Hosts to Guests pursuant to a Booking on Our Site, You acknowledge and accept that in those circumstances and for the purposes of these Terms and rental transactions You have concluded with Guests, the Service supplied by Us in taking part in the provision of accommodation listed on Our Site and/or in facilitating or providing intermediation in the conclusion of such rental transactions, shall be supplied to You as Host, acting as Your disclosed agent or intermediary in Your name and on Your behalf and not in any way in Our own name, as We shall not and cannot be a Host. Any necessary modifications may be made to these Terms as a consequence of this provision or part thereof applying.

7.5 You agree that in the event You conclude a rental transaction with a Guest as a result of Using Our Site and Service, then, in consideration of providing Our Services, including support, payment facilitation, and any other services as intermediary, as part of Our Service as further described herein to You as a Host, Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd shall charge You a service fee, exclusive of any applicable VAT and similar sales taxes which may be charged in addition thereon, and in respect of which We may issue or be required to issue to You as a Host a valid VAT or similar sales tax or other invoice (or We may so issue to You at Your reasonable request). Such fee is based upon a percentage (typically between 0% and 5%) of Your Host Fee in relation to Your listed Property, and shall be indicated and disclosed in the Host section of the Site. In addition, We shall also collect an administrative fee of between 10% and 15%, based on the Host Fee and service fee, chargeable to a Guest as referred to in the Booking Terms (including any applicable VAT or taxes which may be charged in addition thereon). Both fees as described herein (collectively, Our “Fees”) shall be added by way of a mark-up to Your Host Fee to calculate the aggregate amounts to be displayed in Your listing and set out in the Booking confirmation sent to the Guest, and which shall therefore be payable by such Guest subject to the Booking Terms.

7.6 Our Service to You in respect of payment facilitation and processing shall not include the collection of deposits or additional charges from Guests that are not included or factored in Your Host Fee and Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd shall not be responsible for administering or accepting a request or claim from You related to such additional charges or payments and disclaims any liability in this respect. You will need to carry out a separate arrangement with Guests in respect of such charges and expressly state in the listing of Your Property that additional charges in the form of a deposit or otherwise (for example, cleaning fees, security deposit and late checkout fees) are required separately from the Guest (for example upon arrival or check-out) if such charges are not included or factored in Your Host Fee.

7.7 Please note, however, that as Host, You are solely responsible for honouring any Booking confirmation sent to a Guest and for supplying and making available and providing Your listed Property on the Site to the Guest on such Terms, conditions, rules and restrictions as You have set and agreed with the Guest. As a Host, You acknowledge and agree that You are responsible for Your own acts and omissions and for the acts and omissions of any individuals (other than Guests and members of the Guest’s party) who reside at or are otherwise present at Your rental Property. Each Host is solely responsible for compliance with laws, rules and regulations, including any tax and VAT requirements (see also the next provision below) and in respect of any conflict with or breach of rights of third parties. We recommend that Hosts obtain appropriate insurance for their rental properties listed on the Site.

7.8 Please also note You are solely responsible for determining Your applicable Tax reporting requirements in consultation with Your tax advisors. Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd cannot and does not offer Tax-related advice to any Users of Our Site and Service. Additionally, please note that You are responsible for determining and/or paying any local VAT or similar indirect sales Taxes and/or for factoring in or including such VAT and taxes into Your Host Fee or satisfying such obligations relating to applicable Taxes in adding a listing on Our Site or in respect of Our Fee as charged or invoiced to You or otherwise, particularly if You consider that You are in business in Using the Site and/or, for example, You are a professional Property manager or You rent Property on a regular basis to generate income. You may also be required to issue an invoice, including without limitation, a valid VAT invoice to Your Guest in respect of Your Host Fee and any additional charges whether or not included in Your Host Fee. You should in any event consult Your tax advisor.

7.9 Upon registering as a User as an intended Host, Hosts acknowledge and accept that Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd shall assume, and be entitled to assume, that You are in business/a taxable person/carrying on an economic activity and/or VAT registered, in the place/country where Your address details as provided to Us are located, unless and until You tell and confirm to Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd by email or otherwise that You consider that You are not in business etc. or that You are Usually resident or spend most of Your time in another country. Hosts further accept and acknowledge that We may contact You to require details (acting reasonably) of Your VAT registration number (if any) or otherwise copies of reasonable commercial evidence or records, for example contracts, business letterheads, a commercial Website address, publicity Material, certificates from fiscal authorities, in each case, which You shall provide or procure to provide within Your power or ability to do so. A digital certificate from a reputable organisation can also be accepted for this purpose.

7.10 If Your listed Property is requested by a Guest via Our Site, You will be required to either confirm or reject the Guest’s request within 36 hours of that request, after which the Booking request shall automatically expire. If, as a Host, You confirm that Your listing is available and a Guest’s Booking is subsequently accepted and confirmed by You through Our Site, You will receive Your Guest’s relevant contact details (including phone number) from Us and We will also forward Your contact details to the Guest. Once such contact details have been provided, all communication including concerning details and information about the rental transaction should be direct between You and Your Guest through Our Site as facilitated by Our Service where required/applicable.

7.11 We shall hold all monies collected by Us from Guests upon a Booking confirmation, subject to a duty to transfer or account to You in respect of such monies (provided always that You have honoured such Booking), which we shall pay to You by bank transfer or, for pounds sterling or euros payments only, PayPal transfer, in the currency You have set for the relevant Property, less Our Fees as described above. You acknowledge and agree that we shall be entitled to deduct and retain Our Fees from such monies collected. Unless We otherwise agreed with You, We shall initiate the payment to You of all net monies collected from Guests which are due to You within two UK business days (being days where banks are open in UK) of the planned date of Your Guest’s check-in at Your listed Property, but We shall have no further commitment to You under these Terms subject to any exceptional arrangement for the earlier transfer of a Guest’s advanced payment as may be agreed between You and Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd. If You do not honour a Booking, You may lose Your entitlement to Your Host Fee and We reserve the right to retain the corresponding funds collected in order to refund the Guest as also referred to further in the Booking Terms.

7.12 Guests can cancel their Booking at any time, but always accordingly to the cancellation policy that You have selected as a Host. In the event a Guest cancels, We shall transfer to You the monies collected by Us from such Guest, less Our Fee, in accordance with Your selected cancellation policy. (Please see Clause 13.3 / Section C)

7.13 As a Host, You should not cancel a confirmed Booking. If however, exceptional circumstances require You to cancel a Booking, please notify Us at Host@pureholidayhomes.com for assistance in relation to Your communications with the Guest. Please also refer to the Booking Terms in this respect in Terms of refunds payable to Guests.

7.14 We reserve the right to cancel any Booking at any time for security or fraud-protection purposes. This is generally due to Our fraud-detection processes reporting a problem with the payment card submitted. In such cases the cancellation policy that You have selected will not apply and You will receive no payment for the cancelled Booking.

8. Terms of Use particular to Guest Bookings

8.1 Guests can offer to make a Booking through the Site by following the processes for making a Booking request set out on the Site and clicking on the appropriate confirmation button or Booking link (via Your Account or email). It is important that Guests check the information entered and correct any errors before making a Booking request since once You click on such button or link, input errors cannot be corrected.

If at any time prior to clicking on the appropriate confirmation button or link, You (the Guest) decide that You do not wish to proceed with Your Booking request, You should close the application window.

8.2 Once Your Booking request has been made, We will then notify the concerned Host by email and in their Account to accept or reject the Booking request. Hosts are required to either confirm or reject Your Booking request within 36 hours of that request, after which the Booking request shall automatically expire. If the Booking request is subsequently accepted by the Host through Our Site, You will receive an automated email confirming the Host’s Booking confirmation and the Host’s relevant contact details, and Your relevant contact details will also be forwarded to the Host. The payment process described under Section 4 below will also apply upon receipt of a Booking confirmation.

8.4 You will be able to access details of Your Booking confirmation through Your Account.

8.5 Upon receipt of a Booking confirmation, Guests enter into a direct contract with the concerned Host. Hosts are not obliged to make any Property available until a Booking confirmation has been sent by the Host via the Site to Guests and a Guest is not guaranteed a Booking with a Host until payment has been made by the Guest subject to these Terms. However, upon issuing a Booking confirmation, Hosts shall be responsible for providing the accommodation referred to in the Booking confirmation.

8.6 If a Guest requests a Booking, they will be responsible and liable to pay the relevant Host in full the rental rate due for such Booking if accepted by the Host subject, in each case, to these Terms and any other Terms and conditions specific to the Booking as agreed between a Guest and their Host. In order to secure collection of such payment, Guests will be asked during the Booking process to provide payment card information and billing address. Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd will also obtain a pre-authorisation on Your payment card for the total amount of Your Booking request to ensure that You have the necessary amount of funds available to cover the transaction. If Your Booking request is accepted by the Host for the dates set out in Your request, the payment process described under Section C - clause 9 will apply. If a Booking request is refused, expires or is cancelled, any pre-authorisation of Your payment card will be released or as applicable, shall expire after a period of up to 30 days unless You contact Us to request an earlier release.

8.7 As a Guest, if You cancel Your Booking, the provisions and refund levels of Section C-clause 13 below will apply. Please note that no refunds will be provided after the last deadline set out in the cancellation policy selected by the concerned Host. Furthermore, Our Fees (as defined below) are non-refundable.

9. Payment for Bookings

9.1 Should You decide to book a stay with a Host and the rental transaction is concluded with such Host via the Site, You, as a Guest, acknowledge and agree that You shall be required to pay an amount equal to the fees displayed in the Host’s listing on Our Site and confirmed in each Booking confirmation as agreed with a Host. The fees displayed in a Host’s listing have three components: (1) the rental rate and any additional charges (included at the Host’s discretion) as solely determined and set by the Host (and not Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd) in respect of the rental transaction, plus any applicable taxes and VAT, (“Host Fee”) –please see clause 10 below for information on any additional charges (for example, cleaning fees) that a Host may have decided to charge and collect separately from the Host Fee; (2) a service fee, chargeable and disclosed to Hosts by Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd based upon a percentage (typically between 0% and 5%) of the Host Fee, in consideration of supplying Our Service to Hosts to the extent that such supplies enable such Hosts to connect and conclude transactions with Guests and which shall be added by way of a mark-up on top of the Host Fee; and (3) an administrative fee (typically between 10% and 15%) of the Host Fee and service fee, which fee shall be chargeable to a Guest and shall also be added to the Host Fee as payment to Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd for processing Guests’ payment for Bookings and various internal procedures linked to handling Guests’ forms of payment (the items at (2) and (3) collectively being Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd.’s "Fees"). Our Fees are non-refundable and exclusive of any applicable Taxes and VAT which may be charged in addition thereon, and shall be added to the Host Fee to calculate the total amount payable by the Guest for the stay.

9.2 Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd shall collect a payment from You equal to the Host Fee and Our Fees through the Site immediately when the Host accepts Your Booking and a Booking confirmation is sent to You by the Host which, as a Guest, You agree to pay for any Booking You have requested that is so accepted by the Host. As noted above, Hosts are required to either accept or reject Your Booking within 36 hours of Your Booking request.

9.3 Hosts set the currency in which they require payment. For Guests’ convenience, the Site can display prices in a choice of currencies. Such converted prices are for information only and Guests payment cards will be debited in the currency set by the relevant Host and Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd disclaims all or any liability in respect of any additional charges that may be charged to a Guest by his or her bank related to Our collection of the payment in the currency set by the relevant Host.

9.4 As referred to in the Terms of Use, Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd shall initiate the payment, less Our Fees, to the bank account of the Host in the currency set by the Host within two UK business days (being days where banks are open in the United Kingdom) of the planned date of the Guest’s check-in at the rental Property, subject to any other arrangement as may be agreed between a Host and Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd.

9.5 As a Guest, You hereby authorize and agree that Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd shall debit (whether directly or indirectly via a third party payment processor, subject to that third party’s Terms and conditions) Your payment card of the amount of the Host Fee plus Our Fees upon confirmation of Your Booking by the Host. You also agree to pay any other charges agreed with the Host before the Booking confirmation that weren't included in the payment when You arrive at the Property or as otherwise agreed with the Host. You will receive a further notification email for receipt of the payment.

9.6 The payment shall be taken by a debit of the Host Fee plus Our Fees from one of the acceptable payment methods listed on the Site, which may include debit and credit card (Eurocard/MasterCard, Visa, American Express or Diners Card) and such payment shall be taken in the currency set by the Host. Payments by cash or cheque are not accepted, and accordingly Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd cannot be held liable for any loss of cash or cheques. You will also be asked to provide customary billing information such as name, billing address and payment information. As a Guest, You agree to pay all fees and charges contained in the Host’s Booking confirmation as accessed through Your Account, irrespective of whether the Service was accessed by You or by a third party Using Your Account. It is Your responsibility to take all measures that are necessary to ensure that Your password remains secret and to prevent the Use or misuse of such password by any unauthorised person. You shall notify Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd promptly if You discover or suspect that Your password has become accessible to or has been mis-used by any unauthorised third party, so that We can block Your account.

9.7 In some circumstances, and in addition to the billing and payment information You provide under clause 9.6 above, We may require You to send Us some proof of Your identity. This can be requested at the time of Booking, during payment processing or at any other time thereafter (but before the check-in date). We reserve the right to cancel Your Booking if You do not provide such proof of identity when requested by Us.

10. Additional fees

The Host may set additional charges in the form of a deposit or otherwise (for example, cleaning fees, security deposit and late checkout fees) that are due from Guests which are not included or factored in the Host Fee and which may be agreed by the Host by separate arrangement or as expressly stated in the Booking summary page and charged directly by a Host. Payment of such charges (for example upon arrival or check-out) must be made by You direct to the Host in accordance with the Terms You agreed with the Host. As noted in the Terms of Use, Pureholidayhomes.com Ltd shall not be responsible for administering or accepting a Host’s requests or claims related to such additional charges or payments and disclaims any liability in this respect.

12.2 If You cause damage to a Host’s accommodation in which You are staying, You must fully reimburse the Host concerned for the cost of the damage. You must also indemnify Us for the full amount of any claim made against Us by the Host or any third party as a result.

13. Changes and Booking cancellations

By Guests

13.1 If Guests want to change their Booking, such Guests will need to contact and communicate with their Host directly on such changes. Guests should note however that as they have previously agreed and accepted Terms with the Host in respect of the Booking, the Host is entitled to, and may therefore, charge Guests additional charges for such changes.

13.2 Guests can cancel their Booking at any time subject to and in accordance with the cancellation policy selected by the concerned Host and payments due under such policy in the event of a cancellation will be deducted from any refund to Guests and remitted by Us to Hosts (We will retain Our Fees, which are non-refundable).

As a Guest, You acknowledge and agree that Your payment (or applicable part thereof) shall be applied in relation to any confirmed alternative Booking request/accommodation, in accordance with these Terms.
