You as a Host are solely responsible for keeping the information in your tax forms current, complete, and accurate. If you as a Host fails to provide us with documentation that we determine to be sufficient to alleviate our obligation (if any) to withhold taxes from payments to you (e.g., where you are a US Host, and you fail to provide us with a completed IRS Form W-9), we reserve the right in our sole discretion to freeze all pay-outs to you until resolution, to withhold such amounts as required by law, or to do both.

You as a Host understand and agree that you are solely responsible for determining (i) your applicable Tax reporting requirements, and (ii) the Taxes that should be included, and including Taxes to be collected or obligations relating to applicable Taxes in Listings. You are also solely responsible for remitting to the relevant authority any Taxes included or received by you. JWbnb.com cannot and does not offer Tax-related advice to any Members.

Where applicable, or based upon request from a Host, JWbnb.com may issue a valid VAT invoice to such Host.

You understand and acknowledge that appropriate governmental agency, departments or authorities (the "Tax Authority") where your Accommodation is located may require Taxes to be collected from Guests or Hosts on the amount paid for the right to use and/or occupancy of accommodations, and to be remitted to the respective Tax Authority. The laws in jurisdictions may vary, but these taxes may be required to be collected and remitted as a percentage of the rent or Accommodation Fees set by Hosts, a set amount per day, or other variations, and are sometimes called "occupancy taxes," "hotel taxes," "lodging taxes," "transient taxes," "sales and use taxes," "value-added taxes," "room taxes" or "tourist taxes" (hereafter, "Occupancy Taxes").

Occupancy Tax Collection and Remittance

In certain jurisdictions, JWbnb.com may decide in its sole discretion to facilitate collection and remittance of Occupancy Taxes from or on behalf of Guests or Hosts, following your directions in this Agreement ("Collection and Remittance") if such tax jurisdiction asserts JWbnb.com or Hosts have a tax collection and remittance obligation. In any jurisdiction in which we decide to facilitate direct Collection and Remittance, whether you are a Guest or Host, instead of the Host collecting Occupancy taxes from Guests and remitting to the Tax Authority, you hereby instruct and authorize JWbnb.com to collect Occupancy Taxes from Guests on the Host's behalf at the time Accommodation Fees are collected and to remit such Occupancy Taxes to the Tax Authority. When JWbnb.com facilitates Collection and Remittance of Occupancy Taxes in a jurisdiction for the first time, JWbnb.com will provide notice to existing Hosts with Listings for Accommodations in such jurisdictions. When the new listing is created in a jurisdiction where JWbnb.com facilitates Collection and Remittance of Occupancy Taxes, the Host will be notified in the listing creation flow.  

The amount of Occupancy Taxes, if any, collected and remitted by JWbnb.com will be visible to and separately stated to both Guests and Hosts on their respective transaction documents. Where JWbnb.com is directly facilitating Collection and The remittance, Guests and Hosts agree that Hosts are not permitted to attempt collection or collect any Occupancy Taxes relating to their Accommodations on JWbnb.com in that such jurisdiction. You expressly agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold JWbnb.com and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their officers, directors, employees, and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, debts, obligations, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and/or accounting fees arising out of or in any way related to Occupancy Taxes, including, without limitation, the applicability of, calculation, collection, or remittance of Occupancy Taxes in any amount or at all as to your transactions or Accommodations.   For any jurisdiction in which we facilitate collection and Remittance, Hosts, and Guests expressly permit us, without further notice, to store, transfer and disclose data and other information relating to them or to their Transactions, Bookings, Accommodations and Occupancy Taxes, including, but not limited to, personally identifiable information such as Host or Guest's name, listing addresses, transaction dates, and amounts, tax identification number(s), the amount of taxes collected from Guests or allegedly due, contact information and similar information, to the relevant Tax Authority.

Opt-in to Host Remittance of Taxes

In other jurisdictions, JWbnb.com may decide in its sole discretion to facilitate Occupancy Tax collection on behalf of Hosts and Guests following a Host's direction to opt into a specific Occupancy Tax line item in the booking process, in which the Host directs that Occupancy Taxes from Guests be sent directly to the Host so that the Host will remit such taxes directly to Tax Authority -(-"Opt-in for Host Remittance"). In any jurisdiction in which we decide to facilitate Collection by Opt-in for Host Remittance, whether you are a Guest or Host, you hereby instruct and authorize JWbnb.com to send Occupancy Taxes received from Guests at the time Accommodation Fees are collected to the Host who is obligated to send such taxes to the Tax Authority directly. If JWbnb.com offers and a Host selects Opt-in for Host Remittance in any jurisdiction, Hosts, and Guests remain solely responsible and liable for the payment and remittance of all taxes that may apply to Accommodations; you agree and understand that JWbnb.com is not responsible for and will not send any such Occupancy Taxes to the Tax Authority under Opt-in to Host Remittance of Taxes.  You hereby agree that through third party payment processors, JWbnb.com is merely processing Your election and direction to have Occupancy Taxes from Guests sent directly to the Host for remittance by the Host to the Tax Authority, and that You will remit all amounts collected from Guests as Occupancy Taxes to such Tax Authority.  You expressly agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold JWbnb.com and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their officers, directors, employees, and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, debts, obligations, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and/or accounting fees, arising out of or in any way related to Occupancy Taxes,  including, without limitation, the applicability of, calculation of, collection of Occupancy Taxes in any amount or at all as to your transactions or Accommodations.  For any jurisdiction in which we facilitate Opt-in for Host Remittance, Hosts, and Guests expressly permit us, without further notice, to store, transfer and disclose data and other information relating to them or their Transactions, Bookings, Accommodations and Occupancy Taxes, including, but not limited to, personally identifiable information such as Host or Guest's name, listing addresses, transaction dates and amounts, tax identification number(s), the amount of taxes received by Hosts from Guests, or allegedly due, contact information and similar information, to the relevant Tax Authority.

Miscellaneous Occupancy Tax Provisions

Whether you are a Guest or Host, you agree that any claim or cause of action relating to JWbnb facilitation of Opt-in Remittance or Collection and Remittance of Taxes shall not extend to any supplier or vendor that may be used by JWbnb.com in connection with facilitation of Opt-in Remittance or Collection and Remittance of Occupancy Taxes, if any. Guests and Hosts agree that we may seek additional amounts from You if the Taxes collected and/or remitted are insufficient to discharge your obligations to the Tax fully Authority, and agree that your sole remedy for Occupancy Taxes collected is a refund of Occupancy Taxes collected by JWbnb.com from the applicable Tax Authority following applicable procedures set by that Tax Authority.

In the jurisdiction in which we have not provided notice of or are not facilitating (or are no longer facilitating) the collection or remittance of Occupancy Taxes by Collection and Remittance, Opt-in for Host Remittance or any other means or the method, in your jurisdiction, Hosts and Guests remain solely responsible and liable for the collection and/or remittance of all Occupancy Taxes that may apply to Accommodations.

Hosts and Guests acknowledge and agree that in some jurisdictions, JWbnb.com may decide not to facilitate collection or remittance of Occupancy Taxes or may not be able to facilitate the collection and/or remittance of Occupancy Taxes, and nothing contained in this Agreement is a representation or guarantee that JWbnb.com will facilitate collection and/or remittance of Occupancy Taxes anywhere at all, including in any specific jurisdiction, or that JWbnb.com will continue to facilitate any collection or remittance of Occupancy Taxes in any specific jurisdiction in which it may have been offered. JWbnb.com reserves the right, in its sole determination, to cease any facilitation of any collection and remittance of Occupancy Taxes (regardless of the method used or to be used in the future) for any reason or no reason at all, provided that it will give Hosts reasonable notice in any jurisdiction in which JWbnb.com determines to cease any such facilitation.

Damage to Accommodations

As a Guest, you are responsible for leaving the Accommodation in the condition it was in when you arrived. You acknowledge and agree that, as a Guest, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals whom you invite to or otherwise provide access to the Accommodation. If a Host claims otherwise and provides evidence of damage, including but not limited to photographs, you agree to pay the cost of replacing the damaged items with equivalent items. After being notified of the claim and given forty-eight (48) hours to respond, the payment will be charged to and taken from the credit card on file in your JWbnb.com Account. JWbnb.com also reserves the right to charge the credit card on file in your JWbnb.com Account, or otherwise collect payment from you and pursue any avenues available to JWbnb.com in this regard, including using Security Deposits, in situations in which you have been determined, in JWbnb sole discretion, to have damaged any Accommodation, including, but not limited to, about any payment requests made by Hosts under the JWbnb.com Host Guarantee, and to any payments made by JWbnb.com to Hosts. If we are unable to charge the credit card on file or otherwise collect payment from you, you agree to remit payment for any damage to the Accommodation to the applicable Host or to JWbnb.com (if applicable).

Both Guests and Hosts agree to cooperate with and assist JWbnb.com in good faith and to provide JWbnb.com with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by JWbnb.com, in connection with any complaints or claims made by Members relating to Accommodations or any personal or other property located at an Accommodation (including, without limitation, payment requests made under the JWbnb.com Host Guarantee) or concerning any investigation undertaken by JWbnb.com or a representative of JWbnb.com regarding use or abuse of the Site, Application, or the Services. If you are a Guest, upon JWbnb reasonable request, and to the extent you are reasonably able to do so, you agree to participate in mediation or similar resolution process with a Host, at no cost to you, which process will be conducted by JWbnb.com or a third party selected by JWbnb.com or its insurer, concerning losses for which the Host is requesting payment from JWbnb.com under the JWbnb.com Host Guarantee.

You agree to cooperate with and assist JWbnb.com in good faith and to provide JWbnb.com with such information as may be reasonably requested by JWbnb.com, in order to make a claim under your homeowner's, renter's, or other insurance policy, including, but not limited to, executing documents and taking such further acts as JWbnb.com may reasonably request to assist JWbnb.com in accomplishing the foregoing.

Overstaying without the Host's Consent

Guests agree that a confirmed reservation is merely a license granted by the Host to the Guest to enter and use the Listing for the limited duration of the confirmed reservation and following the Guest's agreement with the Host. Guests further, agree to leave the Accommodation no later than the checkout time that the Host specifies in the Listing or such other time as mutually agreed upon between the Host and Guest. If a Guest stays past the agreed upon checkout time without the Host's consent, they no longer have a license to stay in the Listing and the Host is entitled to make the Guest leave. Also, Guests agree that the Host can charge the Guest for each 36 hour period that the Guest stays over the agreed period without the Host's consent, an additional nightly fee of two times the average nightly Accommodation Fee originally paid by the Guest to cover the inconvenience suffered by the Host, plus all applicable Service Fees, Taxes, and any legal expenses incurred by the Host to make the Guest leave (collectively, "Additional Sums"). Guests agree that JWbnb.com Payments, in its role as a limited collection agent for the Host, shall charge the Guest's credit card or other payment methods it has on file to collect these Additional Sums. Also, JWbnb.com Payments may recover any costs and expenses it incurs in collecting the Additional Sums by charging the Guest's credit card or another payment method on file.

1.10 Foreign Currency

JWbnb's online platform facilitates bookings between Guests and Hosts who may prefer to pay and to receive payments in different currencies, which may require foreign currency conversions to accommodate these differing currency preferences. Although the JWbnb.com platform allows users to view the price of Listings in a number of currencies, the currencies available for users to make and receive payments may be limited and may not include the default currency in any given geographic location.

Each foreign currency conversion is processed at a foreign currency conversion rate. This rate generally refers to the amount of one currency that must be paid to buy a certain amount of another currency at a given time. For example, if it costs US$125.00 to buy €100.00, the currency conversion rate of US dollars to Euros would be 1.25, and the currency conversion rate from Euros to US dollars would be 0.8. Currency conversion rates will vary from time to time.

1.11 Key definitions

"Display Currency" means the currency in which users view Listing prices on the JWbnb.com platform. Guests may choose and change the Display Currency to view the pricing for a Listing in several different supported currencies.

"Booking Currency" means the currency in which a Guest has to pay for his or her booking. When the Guest submits a booking request, the JWbnb.com platform will select the Booking Currency based on the Guest's country of origin and the payment methods available for that country. JWbnb.com supports only a certain number of currencies as Booking Currencies. The Booking Currency for a booking may be different from the relevant Listing Currency.

"Listing Currency" means the currency in which a Listing's price is set. The Host sets listing Currency.

"Pay-out Currency" means the currency in which a Host's payout will be paid to the Host. The Host sets the Pay-out Currency.

"Base Exchange Rate" means a system-wide rate used by JWbnb.com for foreign currency conversion that is in effect at the time the foreign currency conversion is processed and does not include any fee or mark-up by JWbnb.com. JWbnb.com establishes the Base Exchange Rate using data from one or more third parties such as OANDA (http://www.oanda.com).

"Adjusted Exchange Rate" means a rate for foreign currency conversion that is calculated by adding a mark-up to the Base Exchange Rate. This mark-up represents a charge imposed by JWbnb.com for its holding costs and foreign currency risks.

Foreign currency conversions on the JWbnb.com platform

JWbnb Payments will process a foreign currency conversion in the following situations:

The Display Currency is different from the Listing Currency when a user views a Listing: JWbnb.com will calculate the estimated Total Fees in the Display Currency by applying either the Base Exchange Rate or the Adjusted Exchange Rate at the time of the view to the estimated Total Fees in the Listing Currency. The Adjusted Exchange The rate will be applied if the Display Currency is a supported Booking Currency, and it is different from the Listing Currency. Otherwise, the Base Exchange The rate will be applied.

The Booking Currency is different from the Listing Currency when a Guest submits a booking request for a Listing: JWbnb.com will calculate the Total Fees in the Booking Currency by applying either the Base Exchange Rate or the Adjusted Exchange Rate at the time of the booking request to the Total Fees in the Listing Currency. The guest will be able to view the actual exchange rate applied. The Guest Fee, a percentage of the applicable Accommodation Fees, will be calculated based on the Accommodation Fees in the Booking Currency (i.e., after conversion from the Listing Currency). The Adjusted Exchange Rate will be applied if the Display Currency is the same as the Booking Currency, and it is different from the Listing Currency for the Listing. Otherwise, the Base Exchange Rate will be applied.

The Pay-out Currency is different from the Listing Currency when JWbnb.com initiates a pay-out: generally, JWbnb.com will calculate the pay-out to the Host by applying the Base Exchange Rate on the date that JWbnb.com initiates the pay-out to the Accommodation Fees (less JWbnb Host Fees and any Taxes in respect of the Host Fees, such as VAT in Europe) in the Listing Currency. The Host will be able to view the actual exchange rate applied in his or her transaction history in the Site or Application. In some cases where the pay-out method selected by the Host involves certain third-party payment processors (such as Western Union), (i) JWbnb.com will send the pay-out amount to the processor in a major currency (e.g., US dollars), by applying the relevant Base Exchange Rate for the Listing Currency to that major currency, (ii) the Host will be able to view the pay-out amount sent by JWbnb.com in that major currency in his or her transaction history in the Site or Application, and (iii) the processor will calculate the actual pay-out to the Host by applying its own foreign currency conversion rate for that major currency to the Pay-out Currency.

When a confirmed booking is modified or canceled, and there had been a foreign currency conversion when the booking was submitted: the foreign currency conversion for any additional payments required of the Guest or any refund to the Guest will be processed at the same rate as applied to the earlier payment by the Guest.

When you as a Guest submits a booking request for a Listing; you will be able to view the actual exchange rate used to calculate the Total Fees in the Booking Currency. Where the Adjusted Exchange Rate is applied, you will be able to view the mark-up included in the rate. The actual exchange rate (and any mark-up included in the rate) will also be stated in the billing receipt for your booking.

JWbnb updates the Base Exchange Rate regularly, but not on a real-time basis. In particular, JWbnb.com does not always change the Base Exchange Rate immediately when its costs of foreign exchange change. Accordingly, the Base Exchange Rate may not be identical to the applicable market rate in effect at the specific time a foreign currency conversion is processed.

Please note that your payment company (for example, your credit or bank card issuer) will use a currency conversion rate for and may impose a currency conversion fee on your payment or payout if your card or bank account is denominated in the currency that is different from the Booking Currency or the Pay-out Currency respectively. Similarly, third-party payment processors may also use a currency the conversion rate for or impose a currency conversion fee on your payment or pay-out. All of these currency conversion rates and fees are not controlled by or known to JWbnb.com.

1.29 Controlling Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and your use of the Services will be interpreted following the laws of the State of California and the United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. You and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in San Francisco County, San Francisco, California or a United States District Court, Northern District of California located in San Francisco, California, for any actions for which the parties retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights, as outlined in the Dispute Resolution provision below.

Dispute Resolution

You and JWbnb.com agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or to the use of the Services or use of the Site or Application (collectively, "Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. You acknowledge and agree that you and JWbnb.com are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and JWbnb.com otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Dispute The resolution" section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this "Dispute Resolution" section will survive any termination of these Terms.

Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. The American Arbitration will administer the arbitration Association ("AAA") following the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this "Dispute Resolution" section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration and a separate form for California residents) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties cannot agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, the AAA will appoint the arbitrator following the AAA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless you and JWbnb.com otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely based on documents you and JWbnb.com submit to the arbitrator unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the arbitration's expedited nature.

Arbitrator's Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator's decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator's award damages must be consistent with the terms of the "Limitation of Liability" section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration, you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. JWbnb.com will not seek and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover attorneys' fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $15,000, JWbnb.com will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards outlined in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the "Modification" section above, if JWbnb.com changes this "Dispute Resolution" section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Last Updated Date" above or in the date of JWbnb email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you agree that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and JWbnb.com following the provisions of this "Dispute Resolution" section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

1.30 General

The failure of JWbnb.com to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of JWbnb.com. Except as expressly outlined 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. 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.

1.31 Third-party beneficiary

These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the payment card networks are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms for purposes of enforcing provisions related to payments, but their consent or the agreement is not necessary for any changes or modifications to these Terms.
