LMVR will communicate the decision along with any additional fees to the Guest, who may accept or not. If a Guest does not agree to the Property Owner’s terms for such changes, the reservation continues to be valid without change. If a Guest agrees to the Property Owner’s conditions including payment of any additional fees, the Guest will promptly remit those fees to LMVR and they become a part of the “Rental Fees” and the Guest Service Fee will be increased and charged to the Guest as a result of the changes. A Guest will pay a Reservation Change Fee of $75.00 to LMVR for administrative expenses in making the requested change(s).

If a booking or account shows, in our reasonable view, signs of fraud, abuse, association with a government-sanctioned person or entity, or other suspicious activity, we may request additional information from you. If we reasonably conclude that a booking or account is associated with fraud, abuse, a government-sanctioned person or entity or suspicious activity, we may, (a) cancel any bookings associated with your name, email address or account, (b) close any associated accounts, and/or (c) take legal action, including to seek to hold you liable for any loss.

A. If the Property Owner has required the Guest to purchase a damage insurance policy, the Property Owner will look to the insurance policy for reimbursement and LMVR is not a party nor has it any obligation to be involved with the insurance claim. If there is damage that exceeds the tendered amount under the insurance policy, the Property Owner and Guest shall solely work out the issue. LMVR is not a party to the insurance policy nor has it any obligation to be involved with any insurance claim or dispute between the Property Owner and a Guest.

We recommend providing all critical information to a Guest before their stay. Responding promptly to Guest questions on critical stay information is essential to ensuring a high-quality Guest experience. On the Guest’s check-in day and during their stay, the Property Owner shall answer within one hour for messages received between 8 AM and 9 PM in the Property’s time zone. For messages received outside of these hours, answer as soon as reasonably possible and by 9 AM the following day at the latest; provided, however, if the issue concerns lack of running water, no heat or problems with HVAC, or no electricity or sewer/ septic tank problems, or concerns an accident or safety hazard (“Critical Issues”), the Property Owner is expected to answer any calls or communications from the Guest promptly, not to exceed 30 minutes.

The financial consequences mentioned above include reasonable legal fees.
G. You agree not to disclose any Confidential Information that we disclose or otherwise make available to you and that all Confidential Information will remain strictly confidential and will not be disclosed to any third party or used, directly or indirectly, by you for any purpose other than to consume our Service and to list Properties on the Site, except and solely to the extent that any such information is generally known or available to the public (other than due to an unauthorized disclosure by you) or if the same is required by law or legal process (provided, that prior to such required disclosure, you must seek the highest level of protection available and provide us with reasonable advance notice). The term “Confidential Information” consists of any confidential non-public information, including, without limitation, our business and financial information, pricing and sales information. You acknowledge and agree that “Confidential Information” will also include any information that we designate as confidential or that a reasonable person would consider to be confidential. All Confidential Information will remain our exclusive property.
H. Offline Booking Prohibited. Offline booking is prohibited. Offline booking can happen during pre-booking communication such as after a Guest finds a Property Listing on LMVR, you intentionally tell the Guest (or the Guest intentionally asks) to book or pay through you directly instead of using LMVR to avoid paying LMVR compensation due under this Agreement and due from the Guest under the Guest Agreement. LMVR does not allow offering, incentivizing, or directing Guests to accept bookings outside the LMVR Service. These efforts to avoid paying LMVR compensation are a may result in penalties, including termination. If LMVR determines an offline booking occurred, you may be required to pay LMVR’s Listing Fee and a penalty or fine. The following behaviors are not allowed: (i) contacting potential Guests before booking to encourage, request, or incentivize them to book or pay outside of LMVR; (ii) asking Guests to communicate via platforms or services outside of LMVR before accepting a booking (such as through email or text). Note: Post-booking communication is allowed and encouraged until otherwise advised; (iii) redirecting Guests off LMVR through links or embedded buttons in communications; (iv) cancelling an existing full or partial reservation to book outside of LMVR; (v) changing or presenting the reservation, payment schedule, or pricing in bad faith to avoid mandatory LMVR Listing Fee. If a Guest needs to cancel and rebook, they should cancel the reservation from within LMVR and rebook through LMVR. Rebooking directly with you outside of LMVR is an offline booking and will subject you to a charge equal to the LMVR Listing Fee and a $1,000 penalty, and you will be subject to the provisions of Section 11 regarding Termination.
I. SECURITY CAMERAS. The Property Owner may not have security cameras inside the Property. Any cameras mounted outside should be listed in the Property Listing. If a Guest sees an indoor security camera, or if there are exterior security cameras not identified in the Property Listing, the Property Owner agrees to pay LMVR and be charged a $1,000 penalty and LMVR may avail itself of any other remedies such as suspension or termination of the Property Owner account.
5. RENTAL FEES, DAMAGE DEPOSIT, PROPERTY REGISTRATION AND LISTING FEES, TAXES, AND PAYMENT SERVICES.
A. Rental Fee. Your Property Listing must include a charge for each night stayed at the Property (rate is based on the number of nights, not days), multiplied by the number of nights that a Guest is staying at the Property. Your Property Listing may include a minimum “night” stay requirement. You may also charge additional fees such as pet fees or cleaning fees. Any changes you make to the Rental Fees for a particular Property will not affect bookings already accepted. A description of the applicable Rental Fees that apply to each Listing MUST be displayed under the "Property" tab on the Service for each Property. It is the Property Owner’s duty to accurately breakdown the different amounts charged to the Guests, including without limitation, the nightly rate and any and all additional fees and charges, and a Refundable or Non-Refundable Damage Deposit, if any, or the Guest’s obligation to provide damage insurance, if any.
B. Damage Deposit. At the time of booking, you may request one of the following from the Guest regarding damage: (i) an upfront Refundable Damage Deposit; or (ii) an upfront, Non-Refundable Damage Deposit, or (iii) require that the Guest purchase property damage insurance to cover potential damage at the Property. The amount of the Refundable or Non-Refundable Damage Deposit and the amount of the damage insurance coverage is determined by the Property Owner and must be included in the terms of the Property Listing and in the Rental Agreement, if any, with the Guest. The amount of the Damage Deposit is included in the definition of Rental Fee. If the Property Owner requires a damage insurance policy, Proof of Insurance must be provided to the Property Owner by the Guest before the booking will be made. If the Property Owner does not respond to LMVR within 24 hours, it will be deemed approved and the reservation will be booked. The Guest will provide the Proof of Insurance to LMVR and LMVR will forward it to the Property Owner for approval. The Property Owner shall approve or not the Proof of Insurance and coverage within 24 hours after receipt and so inform LMVR of their decision. If yes, the booking is confirmed. If no, then LMVR goes back to the Guest to fix the problem and the process begins again.
C. Property Registration Fee. For each Property Listed with the Service, the Property Owner will pay a Property Registration Fee for each listed Property
D. Listing Fee. Property Owner will pay a Listing Fee to LMVR in an amount equal to 5% of the total Rental Fee on every booking sourced through our Service (the "Listing Fee"). Calculation of the Listing Fee will not include amounts charged to the Guest for Taxes. LMVR reserves the right to change the Listing Fee percentage, with any changes to be notified to Property Owner at least 30 days before the new Listing Fee percentage is applied. The new Listing Fee will be deemed accepted if Property Owner does not remove their Property Listing(s) by the time the new Listing Fee is applied. For the avoidance of doubt, if Property Owner collects any fees and charges for a booking from a Guest outside of our Service and fails to pay the Listing Fee owed to LMVR or if Property Owner facilitates the collection of any fees and charges for a booking outside of our Service to avoid payment of the Listing Fee, such action will constitute a breach of this Agreement and in addition to any other rights and remedies available to LMVR hereunder, Property Owner will owe and pay to LMVR the Listing Fee together with an additional penalty in the amount of $1,000. The Listing Fee is refundable to Property Owner under certain situations, as set forth in this Agreement.
E. Down Payment and Final Payment Charged to Guest. At the time the Property is booked by the Guest, on Your behalf, we will charge the Guest’s major credit card a down payment equal to 50% of the Rental Fee (including any required Damage Deposit and additional fees) and 50% of the amount of the Taxes. The final payment will be scheduled to automatically post on the day the Guest is scheduled to arrive at the Property and the receipt of the final payment will generate an “Arrival Email” sent by LMVR to the Guest. The Arrival Email will include your name, your telephone number where you can be reached during the Guests’ stay, the Property address, GPS location (Google maps), and the key code to access the locks or the lock-box containing the key.
F. Collection of Rental Fee and other amounts owed by the Guests to the Property Owner. During the term of this Agreement, You authorize LMVR, through the third party service providers, to (i) collect all amounts owed by the Guest to the Property Owner for each booking, including without limitation, the Rental Fee, Taxes, and any other fees or charges owed by the Guest pursuant to the Property Listing and the LMVR Rental Policies.

If we are unable to debit such bank account You select for any reason, You authorize us to resubmit the debit, plus any applicable fees, to any other bank account or payment instrument that You have on file with us. If the non-payment issue is unresolved within a reasonable period, You will be required to make payment using another acceptable payment method.
I. Chargebacks and Reversals. Any Payment by a Guest is subject to a right of (i) “Reversal” (the right of a bank account owner to seek the return funds for a transaction that was funded by a bank account – sometimes referred to as an ACH Return – for example, as a result of suspected unauthorized use of a bank account or insufficient funds), or (ii) “Chargeback” (the right of credit cardholders to file a claim for a refund with their card issuer, for example, as a result of fraud or dissatisfaction with a purchase). These rights exist between the Guest and their respective bank or credit card issuer. You acknowledge and agree that You are responsible for any Chargeback or Reversal of a Payment, plus the applicable Chargeback and Reversal fees, regardless of the reason for the Chargeback or Reversal and that we will not have any obligation to pursue any collection action against any Guest. In the event of a chargeback or reversal of any Payment by a Guest, we will have the right to automatically exercise our rights outlined in Sections 5(F) and 5(G) or to debit your bank account via ACH. Thereafter, contingent on receiving all requested information from You, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to investigate the validity of the chargeback or reversal. You agree to cooperate with us and to provide any information that may be reasonably requested by us in our investigation. You acknowledge that chargeback and reversal decisions are made by the applicable bank or credit card issuer and all judgments as to the validity of the chargeback or reversal is made at the sole discretion of the applicable bank or credit card issuer.

K. Our Role. Except for our limited role in processing payments that You authorize or initiate, we are not involved in any underlying transaction between You and Your Guests. For the avoidance of doubt, we are not providing or reselling any accommodation or any accommodation related expenses or services. We assume no liability for Your acts or omissions or for the acts or omissions of the Guests.
L. Processing Errors. If there is a rejection or an error in the processing of any transaction, You authorize us or a third-party service provider working on our behalf to debit or credit Your bank account designated on the Registration Form, as applicable, to correct such error.
M. Taxes. You understand that any appropriate governmental agency, department and/or authority (“Tax Authority”) where your Listing is located may require certain taxes to be collected from Guests or from you related to such Listing, 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 Rental Fees, or a set amount per day, or an amount based on number of guests, or other variations, and are sometimes called “transient occupancy taxes,” “hotel taxes,” “lodging taxes,” “city taxes,” “room taxes” or “tourist taxes” (“Taxes”). You hereby authorize LMVR to collect from the Guests any Taxes that may be due.
(i) As a Property Owner you are solely responsible, unless applicable governmental regulations state otherwise, for (a) determining and complying with your obligations to report, collect, and remit any applicable Taxes, including all applicable Taxes in your Listing, (b) ensuring that the Tax information associated with your Listing remains accurate at all times, and (c) accounting to the relevant tax authorities for any Taxes applicable to any amounts received by you for any LMVR bookings and/or in consideration for the services you provide Guests. Additionally, you will provide LMVR with all information reasonably requested by LMVR with respect to Taxes, including tax identification numbers and/or registration numbers (as applicable).
(ii) Either through our Service or through a separate program or website, LMVR will calculate the applicable Taxes for your Property. It is the Property Owner’s sole responsibility to confirm that the amount of Taxes calculated and collected by LMVR is correct. If there is a discrepancy between the type and amount of Taxes LMVR determines it must collect from the Guest and the amount the Property Owner believes it must collect from the Guest, the larger amount shall prevail and shall be included in the Property Listing.
(iii) You are responsible for determining the amount and applicability of any and all Taxes. You also are responsible for remitting and reporting correct Taxes to the appropriate authority. If requested by us, You will promptly provide valid Tax invoices in respect of any transactions entered into under this Agreement, where Taxes are chargeable under applicable law. If you are entitled to an exemption from Taxes on the Listing Fee, you must provide LMVR with required documentation and support for such exemption.
(iv) Through our Service, we may provide You a means for You to determine and apply Taxes to Your transactions, but we are not obligated to determine whether Taxes apply and are not responsible for calculating, collecting, reporting, or remitting any taxes to any applicable authority arising from any transaction.
(v) We may be required to report any Payments to national, state, and/or local tax authorities, including the US Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We are not responsible for and are not the entity owing the Taxes with respect to Guest payments.
(vi) You will promptly provide us with information and/or documentation as may be required by the applicable governmental entity in order for us to process payments hereunder (including, without limitation, a valid certificate of Your exemption from obligation to pay taxes as authorized by the appropriate governmental entity), and we may withhold any Guest Payments, or portion thereof, until You have provided the required documentation.
(vii) Property Owners acknowledge and agree that LMVR will facilitate collection of Taxes and will remit those Taxes to you so that you may remit to the Taxing Authority, and nothing contained in this Agreement is a representation or guarantee that LMVR will facilitate remittance of Taxes to a Tax Authority anywhere at all, including in any specific jurisdiction, or that LMVR will or continue to facilitate remittance of Taxes in any specific jurisdiction in which it may have been offered. If we only collect Taxes, our only obligation will be to remit those Taxes to you. Where LMVR is facilitating collecting Taxes for a jurisdiction, you are not permitted to collect any Taxes being collected by LMVR relating to your Listings in that jurisdiction.
(viii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, In certain jurisdictions, LMVR may decide in its sole discretion to facilitate collection and remittance of Taxes on behalf of a Property Owner, in accordance with this Agreement (“Collection and/or Remittance”) if such jurisdiction asserts LMVR has a Tax collection and remittance obligation. In any jurisdiction in which we decide to facilitate direct Collection and/or Remittance, you hereby instruct and authorize LMVR to collect Taxes from Guests on your behalf at the time the online payment is made by the Guest and remit such Taxes to the Tax Authority. Taxes collected by LMVR will be visible to and separately stated to both Property Owners and Guests on their respective transaction documents. When LMVR facilitates Collection and Remittance of Taxes in a jurisdiction for the first time, LMVR will provide notice to existing Property Owners with Listings in such jurisdictions. LMVR will charge a Tax Remittance Fee if it is obligated to account and remit to the appropriate governmental authorities.
(viii) You agree that any claim or cause of action relating to LMVR's facilitation of Collection and/or Remittance of Taxes shall not extend to any supplier or vendor that may be used by LMVR in connection with facilitation of Collection and/or Remittance, if any. You agree that we may seek additional amounts from you if the Taxes collected and/or remitted are insufficient to fully discharge your obligations to the Tax Authority and agree that your sole remedy for Taxes collected is a refund of Taxes collected by LMVR from the applicable Tax Authority in accordance with applicable procedures set by that Tax Authority.
(ix) You expressly release LMVR, waive any right to bring an action against LMVR and agree not to do so, and you shall defend, indemnify, and hold each member of LMVR and our affiliates, 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 Taxes, including, without limitation, the applicability of, calculation, Collection, or remittance and reporting of Taxes in any amount or at all as to your transactions. For any jurisdiction in which we facilitate Collection and/or Remittance and without prejudice to any other right of LMVR hereunder, you grant us permission, without further notice, to store, transfer and disclose data and other information relating to you or to your transactions, bookings, Listings and Taxes, including, but not limited to, information such as your 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 in order to comply with a valid request.
(x) LMVR reserves the right, with prior notice to any Property Owner, to cease the Collection and/or Remittance in any jurisdiction for any reason at which point each such Property Owner is once again solely responsible and liable for the collection and/or remittance of any and all Taxes that may apply to Listings in that jurisdiction. In any jurisdiction in which we have not provided notice of or are not facilitating (or are no longer facilitating) the collection or remittance of Taxes by Collection and/or Remittance, or any other means or method, in your jurisdiction, you remain solely responsible and liable for the collection and/or remittance of any and all Taxes that may apply to Listings.
(xi) Tax Withholding. On request, you will deliver to LMVR, prior to receipt of any payment hereunder, a completed and signed copy of IRS Form W-9, tax identification number, or other applicable documentary evidence satisfactory to LMVR to establish that you are not subject to withholding or are entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax, as applicable. You will promptly notify LMVR of any change in circumstances which would cause you to be subject to withholding or modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction of withholding tax and take any action that may be necessary to avoid any requirement that LMVR make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to you. If you fail to perform your obligations under this Section or we are otherwise required to withhold any amounts from you, then LMVR may deduct and withhold from any payment to you such amounts as it is required to withhold under applicable law. Where applicable, all amounts withheld pursuant to this Section will be treated as paid to you for purposes of this Agreement.
N. Provision of Information. You agree to provide us with all information and authorizations required by us or a third party service provider working on our behalf to access Your bank account designated on the Registration Form as necessary hereunder. You further agree to keep Your (i) bank account information accurate and up to date with us and (ii) banking authorizations granted to us accurate and up to date with Your bank. Failure to do so may result in Payment amounts being misdirected, held by us pending confirmation, or returned to the Guests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, You will not be entitled to relevant payment amounts under this Agreement unless and until You have provided us with accurate and up to date information as set forth in this Section. We disclaim all liability for misdirected or returned payments if Your information is not kept accurate. We may suspend or terminate this Agreement without notice if You fail to keep this information accurate or block or otherwise inhibit our ability to debit or credit Your bank account. In addition to such bank account information obligations, You shall provide us with such information as we may lawfully require in order to promptly and accurately perform the Services, including relevant tax forms. You shall promptly notify us of any and all inaccuracies in, or changes to, the information provided by You on the Registration Form. We shall in no event be liable for any damages directly or indirectly resulting from Your failure to comply with this Section. You warrant unconditionally that all information You provide to us is true, correct and up to date, and acknowledge that we are relying upon such information in establishing this Agreement and in providing the Services.

If we are Collecting but not Remitting Taxes to the Tax Authority, we will also send you the amount of Taxes we have collected from the Guest. If we are Collecting and Remitting Taxes to the tax authority, you will not receive any amounts pertaining to Taxes we have collected. The time it takes for You to receive payments after they have been initiated may vary.

You authorize us to charge your bank account and/or credit card, (i) the Guest Service Fee, (ii) any unreimbursed Credit Card Fees, and (iii) the Owner Cancellation Fee.
(ii) If the Guest decides to stay at the Property, because the Property Owner has agreed to resolve, replace or repair pursuant to Section 4(C), but said resolution, replacement or repair is not performed within 24 hours after the Guest’s arrival, and the Guest wants to cancel the remaining portion of the reservation, and LMVR determines, in the exercise of our sole discretion, that the Property Owner is responsible, you agree and authorize us to refund to the Guest, a pro-rated portion of the Rental Fee, Taxes, Credit Card Fees, and 100% of the Guest Service Fee. You authorize us to charge your bank account and/or credit card, (i) 100% of the Guest Service Fee, (ii) any unreimbursed credit card fees, and (iii) the Owner Cancellation Fee.

D. Changing A Reservation.
(i) CHANGING A PROPERTY: If a Guest wants to change a booked reservation to a different Property, this is considered a “cancellation” and is subject to the policies on Cancellations.
(ii) In the event a Guest wants to change the reservation dates, decrease the number of nights booked, increase the number of nights booked or add a pet, the Guest must email LMVR at Guest Help. LMVR will contract the Property Owner. If not otherwise set out in a Rental Agreement, it is the Property Owner’s decision to agree to the change(s), or not, and to add any conditions or charge a fee for such changes. LMVR will communicate the decision along with any additional fees to the Guest, who may accept or not. If a Guest does not agree to the Property Owner’s terms for such changes, the reservation continues to be valid without change. If a Guest agrees to the Property Owner’s conditions and any additional fees, the Guest will promptly remit those fees to LMVR and they become a part of the “Rental Fees”. A Guest may add people to the reservation as long as the number of people does not exceed the occupancy limit set forth in the Property Listing. If the number of Guests exceeds the occupancy limit, the Property Owner may charge the Guest credit card on file an extra person fee in an amount not less than $200/night/person.
E. Damage Deposit Policy & Damage Claims. If a Guest, someone they invite, or a pet causes damage during a stay, or something is missing from the Property, or an appliance or electronic is no longer working, and the Guest has not informed the Property Owner and LMVR of the non-working appliance or electronics before the Guest has checked out, the Property Owner can claim reimbursement of the cost to fix, repair, or replace from the Guest. The Property Owner must notify LMVR and describe in reasonable detail, the damage on the Property caused by the Guests, within 48 hours after the Departure Date; otherwise, the Property Owner waives and forfeits the right to make a claim for damage against the Guest and waives and forfeits the right to use the Refundable Damage Deposit to repair or replace the damage.
(i) If the Property Owner has required the Guest to purchase a damage insurance policy, the Property Owner must ensure the policy covers the type of damages that may be expected on the Property. The Property Owner will look solely to the insurance policy for reimbursement of damages and LMVR is not a party nor has it any obligation to be involved with the insurance claim. If there is damage that exceeds the tendered amount under the insurance policy, the Property Owner and Guest shall solely work out the issue. LMVR is not a party to the insurance policy nor has it any obligation to be involved with any insurance claim or dispute between the Property Owner and a Guest.
(ii) If the Property Owner has required the Guest to deposit a Non-Refundable Damage Deposit, the Property Owner will retain said Non-Refundable Damage Deposit and if there is damage that exceeds the amount of the Damage Deposit, the Property Owner and Guest shall solely work out the issue. LMVR has no interest in the Non-Refundable Damage Deposit, has nothing to do with any damage to the Property and has no obligation to become involved in any dispute between the Property Owner and Guest about damage issues.
(iii) If the Property Owner has required the Guest to deposit a Refundable Damage Deposit, the Property Owner may use a portion or all of the Refundable Damage Deposit necessary to fix, repair or replace such damage. If there is damage that exceeds the amount of the Refundable Damage Deposit, the Property Owner and Guest shall solely work out the issue. LMVR has no interest in the Refundable Damage Deposit, has nothing to do with any damage to the Property and has no obligation to become involved in any dispute between the Property Owner and Guest about damage issues. Property Owner shall reimburse the Guest no later than 30 days after the damage has been fixed, in the event there remains monies in the Refundable Damage Deposit.
(iv) If the Property Owner does not notify LMVR about a possible damage claim to be made against the Refundable Damage Deposit within 48 hours after the Departure Date, the Property Owner waives and forfeits the right to make a claim for damage against the Guest and waives and forfeits the right to use the Refundable Damage Deposit to repair or replace the damage. LMVR shall not be liable to Property Owner or any other party for returning all or a portion of the Damage Deposit to the Guest in accordance with this Agreement.

12. UNITED STATES DISPUTES AND ARBITRATION.
A. This Section and the Arbitration Agreement applies to you if your country of residence or establishment is the United States or if the terms and conditions regarding applicability set forth in this Section 12(A) are satisfied. Please read this Section carefully. It requires that any and all claims be resolved by binding arbitration or in small claims court, and it prevents you from pursuing a class action or similar proceeding in any forum. Arbitration is required if your country of residence enforces arbitration agreements, including without limitation, the United States. If you are outside the United States but attempt to bring a claim in the United States, arbitration is required for determination of the threshold issue of whether this dispute resolution Section 12 applies to you, as well as all other threshold determinations, including residency, arbitrability, venue, and applicable law. If your country of residence does not enforce arbitration agreements, the mandatory pre-arbitration dispute resolution and notification and prohibition on class actions or representative proceedings provided below still apply to the extent enforceable by law.
B. We are committed to resolving consumer disputes in a timely and efficient manner. We have a two-step dispute resolution process that includes: (i) investigation and negotiation of your claim with our customer service team; and, if necessary, (ii) binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or, for arbitrations outside of the United States, an agreed upon arbitral tribunal. You and us each retain the right to seek relief in small claims court as an alternative to arbitration.
C. Agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”). You and we mutually agree that any disputes between us arising out of or relating in any way to our Service (including the Site), this Agreement, our Privacy Policy, any products or services provided by us, any dealings with our customer support agents, or any representations made by us (“Claims”), will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court except those resolved in small claims court. This includes any Claims you assert against us, or any companies offering products or services through or on behalf of us (including our Service) (which are beneficiaries of this Arbitration Agreement).
D. This Arbitration Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall include any claims brought by or against, any third parties, including but not limited to your spouses, heirs, third- party beneficiaries, and assigns, where their underlying claims are in relation to your use of the Services or the Site. To the extent that any third-party beneficiary to this Agreement brings claims against the entities covered by this Agreement, those claims shall also be subject to this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including without limitation the existence, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement, any defense to arbitration such as issues relating to whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced, is unconscionable or illusory, and any defenses to arbitration, including without limitation jurisdiction, waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
E. Small claims court matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration provisions, either you or we may bring any Claim in, or remove any Claim to, small claims court if the Claim is within such court’s jurisdictional limit; provided that such court does not have the authority to entertain any Claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the Claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated in such proceeding. Further, if the Claims asserted in any demand for arbitration is within the small claims court’s jurisdictional limit, then either you or us may elect to have the Claims heard in small claims court, rather than in arbitration, at any time before the arbitrator is appointed, or in accord with the AAA rules, by notifying the other party of that election in writing.
F. No class actions or representative proceedings. You and we agree that any and all proceedings to resolve Claims will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action, including without limitation as a private attorney general. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s Claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. You and we further acknowledge that you are each waiving your right to a jury trial.
G. Arbitration rules and governing law. This Arbitration Agreement is a “written agreement to arbitrate” evidencing a transaction in interstate commerce. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs all substantive and procedural interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at ADR. The arbitrator shall apply the law of the state of Oklahoma, regardless of conflict of laws principles, except that the FAA governs all provisions relating to arbitration. Foreign laws do not apply. This Arbitration Agreement can only be amended by mutual agreement in writing.
H. Mandatory pre-arbitration dispute resolution and notification. Prior to initiating arbitration, you agree to give us the opportunity to resolve any Claims by notifying us of the Claim in writing and attempting in good faith to negotiate an informal resolution. You must send, by certified mail, a written and signed Notice of Dispute (“Notice of Dispute”) addressed to: Legal Department/Dispute Resolution LMVR, 2424 N. Broadway, Ste 554, PMB 328187, Edmond, OK 73034-4172. The Notice of Dispute must contain the following information: (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) the email address associated with your user account, (4) a brief description of the nature of your complaint, (5) the resolution that you are seeking, and (6) your signature. If we are not able to resolve your complaint within 60 days of you providing a Notice of Dispute, you may commence an arbitration proceeding. Engaging in this pre- arbitration dispute resolution and notification process is a requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. AAA does not have authority to administer or adjudicate the Claim unless and until all pre-arbitration dispute resolution and notification requirements have been met. The statute of limitations shall be tolled while the parties engage in the dispute resolution process required by this Section.
I. Commencing arbitration. To initiate arbitration, you must file the demand with the AAA as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration - Consumer Arbitration Rules at ADR or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. A party initiating an arbitration against us must send the written Demand for Arbitration to Legal Department/Dispute Resolution LMVR, 2424 N. Broadway, Ste 554, PMB 328187, Edmond, OK 73034-4172, concurrent with filing the Demand with AAA. Arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules or by mutual agreement between you and us. The Arbitration shall be held either: (i) at a location in Bryan County OK, or (ii) at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and us; or (iii) via videoconference; or (iv) at your election, if the only claims in the arbitration as asserted by you and are for less than $5,000 in aggregate, by telephone or by written submission.
J. Attorneys’ fees and costs. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules, and where appropriate, limited by the AAA Rules. In order to initiate arbitration, each party will be responsible for paying the filing fees required by the AAA, which are approximately equivalent to current court filing fees. In the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, or you would otherwise be eligible for a fee waiver in court, we will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, regardless of the outcome of the arbitration, unless the arbitrator determines that your Claim(s) were frivolous or asserted in bad faith. Either party may make a request that the arbitrator award attorneys’ fees and costs upon proving that the other party has asserted a claim, cross-claim, or defense that is groundless in fact or law, brought in bad faith or for the purpose of harassment, or is otherwise frivolous, as allowed by applicable law and the AAA Rules.
K. Arbitrator’s decision. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited under the FAA. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator bases the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any relief allowed by law or the AAA Rules, but declaratory or injunctive relief may be awarded only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.
L. Severability and survival. If any portion of this Section 12 (United States Disputes and Arbitration) is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) such portion will be severed and the remainder of Section 12 will be given full force and effect; and (2) to the extent that any Claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such Claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual Claims in arbitration.
13. GENERAL.

LAST MINUTE VACATION RENTALS, LLC
LMVR RENTAL POLICIES APPLICABLE TO ALL GUESTS AND PROPERTY OWNERS
Effective January 1, 2025.
These are the Standard Policies applicable to all Guests, Properties, and Property Owners for Properties rented through Last Minute Vacation Rentals (LMVR). The individual Property Owners may have a Rental Agreement and/or will have additional policies specifically applicable to the Properties available for rent. In the event of a conflict between these Policies and the requirements of the Property Owner, the requirements of the Property Owner will prevail.
It is no defense that the Guest is unaware of or does not read these policies.
RESERVATIONS. Reservation for stay at any of the listed Properties must be made by someone at least 24 years old.
RENTAL FEE & TAXES. Rates are charged by the number of nights that a Guest stays at the Property, not by the number of days. Some Properties have a minimum “night” stay requirement. Additional fees as set by the Property Owner may also apply (such as pet charges or cleaning fees). In addition, a Property Owner may require a Refundable Damage Deposit or a Non-Refundable Damage Deposit. The Rental Fee is the nightly rate multiplied by the number of nights booked, plus fees set by the Property Owner, plus the amount of the Damage Deposit (if any). The Guest must also pay all applicable Taxes. The nightly rate, any and all additional fees, the Damage Deposit, and applicable Taxes, will be in the Property Listing and itemized at check out. They will be included in the Listing for each Property.
DAMAGE DEPOSIT POLICY. At the time of booking, the Property Owner may require one of the following from the Guest: (1) a Refundable Damage Deposit; or (2) a Non-Refundable Damage Deposit; or (3) that the Guest purchase property damage protection insurance to cover potential damage at the Property. The amount of the Refundable and Non-Refundable Damage Deposit is determined by the Property Owner and is included in the definition of “Rental Fee”. If the Property Owner requires a damage insurance policy, Proof of Insurance must be provided to the Property Owner by the Guest before the booking will be made.
RESERVATION FEES: In addition to the Rental Rate, Guests will be charged a Guest Service Fee equal to 9.8% of the Rental Rate (not including Taxes), plus the Credit Card Fee equal to what the credit card merchant charges to LMVR (approximately 3%), plus Taxes.
CREDIT CARDS: We accept MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover.
DOWN PAYMENTS: To secure a reservation, we require a major credit card. The Down Payment is equal to 50% of the Rental Fee, plus 50% of the Taxes, plus 50% of the Guest Service Fee, and 100% of the Credit Card Fee. Down payments are applied towards the balance.
CONFIRMING EMAIL: A Confirmation for your reservation will be emailed to the Guest’s email address provided at the time a Guest books a reservation and will be sent no later than the following morning by 10:00 AM. Please review the Confirming Email for accuracy of dates and accommodations. Please notify LMVR at Guest Help of any discrepancies in the reservation immediately upon receiving the Confirming Email. We strongly recommend that you check your dates and the Property to ensure no mistakes were made. It’s human to error; it’s good practice to double check!

The Arrival Email will include the Property Owner’s name, telephone number where the Property Owner can be reached during the Guests’ stay, the Property address, and GPS location (Google Maps). The Arrival Email will also include the combination lock code to enter the Property or the combination code to the lockbox containing the key.

Keep in mind that Google Maps may not be accurate. Your Confirming Email will contain the contact information for your Property Owner. Feel free to contact your Property Owner if you need assistance with directions but realize that there may be areas of limited cell service around the Property. We cannot assist you with directions to the Property.
CHECK-IN: Your Property is “Self-Check-In”. When you arrive at the Property, use the key code found in the Arrival Email to access the Property.

Upon arrival, inspect the Property and be sure to confirm that all requested amenities are present and available on the Property and that all appliances, electronics and amenities are in working order.

The Guest must then make a choice.

(ii) If the Guest decides to stay at the Property overnight, because the Property Owner has agreed to resolve, replace or repair the issue, but said resolution, replacement or repair is not performed within 24 hours after the Guest’s arrival, and the Guest wants to cancel the remaining portion of the reservation, and the Guest has informed LMVR via email, and LMVR determines, in the exercise of its sole discretion, that the Property Owner is responsible, LMVR will refund the Guest a pro-rated portion of the Rental Fee, Taxes, Credit Card Fees, and Guest Service Fee.

LMVR has no interest in the Refundable Damage Deposit, has nothing to do with any damage to the Property and has no obligation to become involved in any dispute between the Property Owner and Guest about damage issues. Any amount of the Refundable Damage Deposit will be refunded to Guest after all repairs or replacements are made.
WHAT TO BRING: Double Check the “amenities” list provided with the Listing for each Property. Bring anything you may need or want that is not included on the amenities list. Bring your clothes and your food. We suggest you bring outdoor towels for your personal use. Please do not remove anything from the Property. You will be charged for any missing items at the cost to replace plus a fee. If your Property has a gas BBQ grill, the propane is provided. If your Property has a charcoal grill, you will need to bring charcoal and lighter fluid. Please clean all grills before leaving the Property.
NO SMOKING: All properties are NO SMOKING inside OR outside. You cannot smoke anywhere on the Property. If you do, there will be an extra cleaning fee charged to your credit card.
PETS & CHARGES: Each Property Owner decides whether or not to allow pets on the Property. For those properties that allow pets, there may be a non-refundable per pet, per night fee. Do not bring unauthorized pet(s) as there is always evidence and there will be a fee of no less than $200 for bringing a pet to a non-pet friendly Property. If pet hair is excessive, you will be charged a minimum of $100 extra cleaning fee. PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW YOUR PET IN THE HOT TUB OR SWIMMING POOL.
PROPERTY AMENITIES – TELEVISION PACKAGES – INTERNET SERVICES: All properties are privately owned, furnished and equipped by the Property Owner. As such LMVR cannot make any changes to the furnishings or equipment provided by the Property Owner. We cannot alter television provider or subscription packages and cannot guarantee any program or event. Internet service is available at most properties, but LMVR is not responsible for computer compatibility or internet failure. No refunds or compensation will be given for internet failure, wifi unavailability, or computer incompatibility. Upon check-in, the Guest must check to make sure Television and Internet are working and call the Property Owner and email LMVR at once if they are not in working order.
PROPERTY ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT: Do not tamper with the electronics. There is a minimum fee of $100 for tampering with the electronics, including television, receivers, dishes, modems, wifi, cameras, security systems, or other electronic equipment on the Property. Do not unhook or disconnect the equipment for video games or for any other reason. The Property Owner will check all electronic equipment to ensure they are in working order. Fines will be strictly enforced to cover the cost of correcting any tampering of and/or damage to any equipment. Ensure everything is in working order before you leave the Property.
SECURITY CAMERAS: The Property Owner may not have security cameras inside the Property. Any cameras mounted outside should be listed in the Property Listing. If a Guest sees an indoor security camera, or if there are exterior security cameras not identified in the Property Listing, the Guest should call the Property Owner immediately and email LMVR Guest Help.
LANDSCAPING: Please do not whack or cut down any landscaping or trees on the Property. Simply said, they are not your trees to cut! Fines for damaging trees will be charged to your account.
HOT TUBS & COVERS; POOLS: Please do not allow anyone in your group to walk on, jump on or play on the hot tub covers, they will break. The condition of your hot tub cover was documented prior to your arrival. The hot tubs are cleaned and chemically treated after every rental. Hot tub and pool use is strictly at your own risk. People who have high blood pressure, skin sensitivities, or who might be pregnant are strongly urged not to use a hot tub. Avoid drinking alcohol or using drugs in the hot tub and pool. Hot tubs can cause your blood pressure to rise if you have been drinking. Please supervise children at all times while they are using the hot tub or pool. No glass, soaps, creams, oils, bubbles, lotions, or food is allowed in the hot tub or pool. If your hair is long, put it up in a ponytail or bun to avoid getting it caught in the filter or drain. Please shower before and after using the hot tub and pool. Do not leave any person, child or adult alone in the hot tub or pool. There should always be an adult who is not in the hot tub or pool supervising those who are in the hot tub and pool – especially if there are children in the hot tub and/or pool.
Please leave the hot tub cover in place when not in use. As the water is changed after every check-out you may find that the hot tub is not up to temperature on the first night as there is a lot of water to heat up. Make sure the hot tub is at the appropriate temperature, taking into consideration the people who will be using it. Children should never be in a hot tub if the water is warmer than bath water (about 90 degrees). For adults, maintain the water temperature below 104 degrees. ●The hot water will amplify and speed the effects of any alcohol or drugs. Alcohol makes you drowsy, and falling asleep in hot water can be very dangerous. In addition to the risk of drowning, your body cannot regulate its temperature as well when you are asleep, which can lead to dangerous overheating. ●Avoid using the hot tub or pool when overly tired or at least have a more alert person join you to wake you up. ●Never use electrical devices (including phones, radios, TVs or any other corded device) in or near the hot tub or pool. If you must have one nearby, use a battery-powered device and place it on a table a safe distance from the water. Be sure all electrical outlets are a safe distance from the hot tub and pool as well, in keeping with local building codes. Corded devices and outlets present a real risk of electrocution if they get wet! ●NO FOOD or PETS in the hot tub or pool. ●Be cautious when using the hot tub during the winter. If the temperature outside the hot tub is below freezing, water splashed over the edge can quickly freeze into slippery ice. ●Don’t wear contact lenses in the hot tub or pool because of the small chance of contamination. ●Immediately exit the hot tub and pool and seek shelter if you see lightning, or during any other kind of threatening weather. ●Do not leave minors or children unattended in a hot tub or pool.
ACCIDENTS: Neither the Property Owner nor LMVR is responsible for accidents regarding a person or a personal belonging occurring in or around the Property. If you have a medical emergency dial 911. In the event of an accident, you are encouraged to call the Property Owner immediately.
NO ATVS OR DIRT BIKES: ATVs and dirt bikes are prohibited on or around the Property. You may be fined by the local authorities, and your credit card may be charged for any damage done the Property.
RV HOOK-UPS & TENT CAMPING is prohibited on most Property properties due to the deed restriction of that area. Please contact the Property Owner for clarification before bringing an RV or Tent.
SHOOTING GUNS OR FIREWORKS is prohibited on Property. Fireworks are also prohibited. All land is private or government owned and neither will allow fireworks. If you have a gun and want to target practice, do not fire it on the Property. If you are hunting, make sure you have the correct hunting license. Leave your guns and fireworks at home.
WILDLIFE ENCOUNTERS: If the Property is located in a forest or non-urban area, there is a heightened probability Guests will encounter some type of wildlife, insects or stray animals. No refunds or compensation will be given for any pests inside or outside of the Property. Guests may also encounter dogs or cats at the Property. These animals are the family pets of a neighbor or a stray animal. Guests should NOT feed these animals or permit them to enter the Property. Guests should not allow their children to play with, pet, or feed these animals. The Property Owner and LMVR are not responsible for any wildlife or animal encounters of any kind. Keep in mind wildlife and strays do NOT have vaccinations. The Property Owner and LMVR will not pay your medical bills nor attempt to capture or kill a wild animal or stray for rabies observation/testing.
QUALITY CONTROL & CUSTOMER SERVICE: The Property Owner reserves the right to enter the premises of the Property at any time including during Guests stay to respond to a service call for repairs, respond to altercations, investigate disturbances, check occupancy, check for damage and check for pets. The Property Owner must inform the Guest that it will enter the Property prior to doing so.
MAINTENANCE REPAIRS – SERVICE CALLS: Guests understand that LMVR does not guarantee that Guest will not encounter a problem at the Property. Call your Property Owner if an amenity needs to be repaired or is broken before or during your stay. Should a repair person make a call to a Property and find that the equipment is in working order and the problem is due to the Guest’s mistake or neglect, the charge for service will be at the Guest’s expense. MINIMUM SERVICE CALL FEES FROM REPAIR COMPANIES START AT $125 and could take several hours to respond. This includes locking yourself out of your Property.
CAMPFIRES & FIREPLACES: If the Property Owner has listed a working fireplace or an outdoor fire pit as an amenity, firewood is not provided. If there is a working fireplace or fire pit, the Guest is responsible to check to make sure there is not a fire ban in the community before using the fireplace or fire pit. Do Not Burn Pine In Any Indoor Or Outdoor Fireplace. The high sap content of pine wood makes it dangerous. When the sap is burned, it creates tarry smoke that can coat the inside of a fireplace, causing a possible fire hazard. The charge to clean the pine from the fireplace or fire pit can exceed $500.00. Do not burn any campfires or fireplaces if there are no-burn days in effect in the area.
CLEANING: Daily maid service is not included in the rental rate. We suggest you bring extra towels for outdoor use. Please do not remove towels or linens from the Property.
PEACE & QUIET TIME IS PROMOTED: Quiet hours begin at 11PM nightly for all Properties. If you have a loud next-door neighbor after 11PM, please call the Property Owner for assistance. Your Property is not to be used for events or parties unless the Property Owner has included events and/or parties in the amenities list. You must comply with all local rules and regulation and any Homeowner Association rules – even if you are unaware of such rules and regulations.

Once your first payment is received, the Guest Agreement with LMVR, the LMVR Policies and all other agreements are considered a rental agreement (including a Rental Agreement with a Property Owner, if applicable), and is considered a legal and binding contract.
TRIP AND DAMAGE INSURANCE. You can purchase trip insurance and damage insurance with any insurance company of your choice, unless the Property Owner specifies a particular policy. LMVR may provide a link to an insurance company that provides damage insurance. This link is provided as a convenience and is a 3rd party vendor. We earn a fee from your purchase of trip and damage insurance from this link. Your choice of travel insurance provider is made in the exercise of your sole discretion, and we are not responsible or liable for any issue you may have with the trip/damage insurance provider of your choice.
LOST AND FOUND Please keep in mind that if you happen to leave something behind there will be a minimum of a $25.00 charge plus shipping and handling to return the items to you, if found. We make no guaranty or warranty that any item left behind or misplaced will be “found”.
WEDDING POLICY: Congratulations on your big day! Only those Properties that allow parties or weddings may be booked for weddings. Check the Property Listing amenities to determine if the Property allows weddings. If the Property Listing is silent on the subject, weddings or parties are not allowed.
OFFLINE BOOKING POLICY. LMVR does not allow offering, incentivizing, or directing Guests and/or Property Owners to accept bookings or payments off the LMVR platform. Such efforts are a marketplace violation and may result in penalties, including termination of the Property Owner and/or Guest. LMVR may require the Property Owner to pay compensation when LMVR determines an offline booking occurred. With that in mind, LMVR disallows the following behaviors: ●Property Owners cannot contact potential Guests, prior to booking, to encourage, request, or incentivize them to book off the LMVR platform, ●Property Owners cannot and Guests cannot request the other party to communicate via platforms or services outside of LMVR services prior to accepting a booking (e.g., email, text). For clarity, post booking communication is permitted until otherwise advised, ●Property Owners or Guests redirecting the other off the LMVR platform through links or embedded buttons in communications, ●Property Owners or Guests cancelling an existing full or partial reservation to book outside of the LMVR platform, or ●Changing or presenting the reservation, payment schedule, or pricing in bad faith to avoid a mandatory LMVR penalty of $1,000 levied against both the Property Owner and the Guest.
If a Guest needs to cancel and rebook, they should cancel the reservation from within the LMVR system and rebook through the LMVR platform. Rebooking directly with the Property Owner offline is an offline booking.
