- Other than as described above, you and we each FORGO OUR RIGHTS TO (a) GO TO COURT to assert or defend claims under these Terms (EXCEPT for matters failing within the jurisdiction of a small claims court) AND (b) TO A TRIAL BY JURY or to participate as a class member.

Any dispute or claim must be brought in the respective party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple-plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”).

Unless both you and we otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over a Class Action or representative proceeding. If for any reason (a) these Class Action provisions are held unenforceable or (b) this arbitration agreement between you and we is deemed unenforceable or non-arbitrable, you and we agree that any and all claims or disputes shall be fully and finally resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction sitting in the City of Santa Fe by bench trial, (i.e., a judge will decide the facts and you WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY).

- Place of Arbitration and Procedure. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and we submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. Whether the hearing will be conducted electronically, telephonically, or in person, will be determined by the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules; reasonable fees may apply. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in the City of Santa Fe, unless the arbitrator determines, consist with the AAA Rules, that face-to-face proceedings are necessary and that the City of Santa Fe is not a reasonably convenient location.
- Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with these Terms.
- Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.

LESSEE: You, also identified by the website platform, hereafter simply referred to as “LESSEE, CLIENT or GUEST”.
PLATFORM: Booking platform used to connect LESSOR and LESSEE, also referred to as “BOOKING PLATFORM or RENTAL PLATFORM”.
WHEREAS:
* The LESSOR is the legitimate owner of the property object of this rental or formally authorized by him to manage rentals on his behalf.
* The PROPERTY is free and cleared of all liens, doubts, debts and lawsuits that may in any way affect its possession by the LESSEE;
The Parties identified above bind themselves by the present RENTAL AGREEMENT, which sets the following terms and conditions:
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
1ST Clause: OBJECT
The object of the contract is the rental of the property of the LESSOR, with address and details informed in the listing on the rental platform.
2nd Clause: LEASE PERIOD
The lease period is indicated in the booking details, as well as check-in and check-out standard times and periods that the we can receive the guest or check him out. At the check-out date and time, the property must be returned, without fail, in the aesthetic and conservation state in which it was delivered, with all furniture, appliances and objects that keep it, and its conditions of use and aesthetics must be impeccable as received.
Paragraph 1: The LESSOR shall make photographic record of all rooms previously, entitled INSPECTION REPORT, a document from which the LESSEE may have access if desired and requested.
3rd Clause: PAYMENT
Total rent is indicated in the booking details, which will be paid in the payment process, methods and deadlines indicated by the Platform at the moment of the booking. Payments shall be considered non-refundable. This rent usually includes the following services, fees and charges related to the property, namely, property tax, water, gas, electricity and the amenities listed in the property listing at the booking platform. If there is a house rule or information in the listing or booking that changes what is included, not included or payed as extra, that addendum overrules what is written here.
Paragraph 1 – In the case of payment in more than one installment, regardless of this agreement, what guarantees and confirms the reservation and the rent provided herein is the payment of the first installment. Failure to pay the Initial Deposit within the date stipulated ceases to constitute a reservation, and may result in loss of availability of the property on the dates requested, with consequent immediate termination of this agreement, at the discretion of the LESSOR, dispensing with notification, questioning or warning. Any amounts sent by the LESSEE after such situation, and if there is no continuity of lease between the Parties, will be returned within 5 (five) business days, without monetary correction.
Paragraph 2 – The late payment of the balance shall immediately imply in a fine of 10% over the amount of the installment. The LESSOR will offer an additional 24 hours for the LESSEE to settle the payment. In the event of default after such period, the LESSOR will understand that the LESSOR cannot guarantee its obligations with the present contract and, to avoid damage to himself, will place the property back on the market by cancelling the booking/reservation on the Booking Platform, freeing the dates. The LESSEE will permanently lose any right with respect to this document, without any compensation to the payments already made, which are essentially non-refundable.
Paragraph 3 – Payment shall be considered on the date on which the resource enters the account of the favored, and not on the date of submission, for cases where the financial services do not offer compensation on the same day. In case of payment via credit card, the RENTER should consult possible additional fees with the LESSOR, paying the appropriate costs.
Paragraph 4 – Acceptance of any payment outside the deadlines and conditions established herein represent mere tolerance and liberality of the LESSOR, not constituting novation.
Paragraph 5 – Effective entry into the property is entirely conditional upon the confirmation of full payment of financial liabilities linked to this agreement, including the Security Deposit and providing the list with full names plus document numbers of all occupants plus a copy of an original document with photo from the person responsible for the booking and this contract, whether it is a driver’s license, personal ID or passport.
4th Clause: SECURITY DEPOSIT
In addition to the rent amount, the LESSEE will also provide a Security Deposit as a guarantee of the physical integrity of the property and its assets, furniture, etc, and / or any fines or losses incurred during the term of this contract, in the amount represented in the Booking details on the Booking Platform.
Paragraph 1 – This amount will be returned within 4 business days after the end of the rental, except in case of damage. If damage occurs for which the value of the repair or replacement cannot be easily calculated, the amount will be retained by the LESSOR until the appropriate amount is determined by obtaining at least 2 quotes from qualified professionals. For products, replacement will be made with the product that more closely matches the original one that was damaged.
Paragraph 2 – After payment for damages, the eventual remaining amount of the Security Deposit will be returned, without monetary correction, by the LESSOR to the LESSEE. The amount made available as Security Deposit does not exempt the LESSEE from full payment for any damages and / or losses he may cause. In case of higher costs, the LESSEE undertakes to make the immediate and full payment of the required amount.
Paragraph 3 – If the LESSEE fails to pay the costs in a friendly manner, the LESSOR shall collect it by judicial means. If the intervention of lawyers is required to collect the amount due, fees of 20% on the amount of the debt for extrajudicial collections and 30% on the amount of the debt in cases of judicial collection will be added.
5th Clause: INTENDED USE
The use of the property must be strictly residential and up to the maximum capacity of the property informed in the Booking Platform, regardless of age.
The use of the property for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited. It is forbidden to the LESSEE, under any pretext, to sublet, lend, assign or transfer the property, or this contract to a third party. Only the use of the property by the tenant and its occupants, informed by the LESSEE prior to his entrance, is admissible.
If the CLIENT cannot provide full names and document numbers (personal ID, driver’s license or Passport) of all members at the time of confirming the Booking, he is authorized to provide such information up to 10 calendar days prior to the date of entry, through the Platform messaging system or by email, using the same email address used for confirming the Booking.
Paragraph 1 – The LESSOR shall be relieved of any and all liability with respect to the luggage, objects, jewelry, or other property values of the lessee and occupants.
Paragraph 2 – It is forbidden to change the secret of the lock of the property without the written permission of the LESSOR, including making additional copies of the key. If so desired, the LESSEE shall make his request to the LESSOR, who is not obliged to comply with the request, but may wish to do so, constituting mere liberality, without the right to novation. The loss of keys delivered represents a cost to be deducted from the security deposit.
Paragraph 3 – Any caveats regarding the condition of the property that has not been made in the INSPECTION REPORT, shall be formally communicated to the LESSOR, through the Platform messaging system or by email, within 24 hours of the LESSOR’s entry into the property.
Paragraph 4 – The landlord is hereby authorized to inspect the property at any time to verify the respective conditions of use. Also in cases of emergency, force majeure, destruction and vandalism, violence, natural hazards, and cases of risk of personal or material damage, the LESSOR may enter the property, without prior consent or without notice to the LESSEE.
Paragraph 5 – The only ones allowed to stay overnight in the property are the guests included in the Guest’s list to be informed prior to your entrance. In addition to these main and official occupants, the LESSEE has the right to receive social visits, from 7am until 10pm, time where the Silence Law from the Country where the Property is located kicks in. The maximum number of guests allowed at the same time, regardless of age, is informed in the listing details on the Booking Platform.
Paragraph 6 – The LESSEE and any member of his group or person to whom he offers access to the property, building or condominium shall comply fully with the convention and the internal regulations of the building or condominium, in addition to respecting the house, any staff and the neighborhood, taking care to not cause any discomfort, disorder, produce excessive noise, or allow the entry of people who may compromise the safety of residents and the property of others.
Paragraph 7 – The LESSEE is prohibited to do any work, modification, painting, installation that needs to pierce walls or improvements of any kind, without prior permission of the LESSOR. Improvements, whether useful or necessary in the LESSEE’s eyes, may only be performed with the LESSOR’s consent and initiative. Thus, in addition to being prohibited, even if they represent a financial investment, they will not confer any right to indemnity or retention, and the LESSOR shall require the reconstitution of the property to the original state in which it was presented.
Paragraph 8 – If the LESSEE finds any damages that he considers need urgent repair, in case of emergency and in case of any subpoenas, notifications and citations that he receives, the LESSEE shall notify the LESSOR, obligatorily and immediately, through the Booking Platform messaging system or by email, using the same email address used to confirm the booking, plus trying phone contact in case of emergencies. It also hereby authorizes, as already established in Paragraph 4 of the Fifth clause, the entry at any time of the LESSOR and its suppliers for due repairs. Otherwise, the LESSEE will assume full and exclusive responsibility for the costs and consequences arising from his action or omission.
Paragraph 9 – The practice or presence of prostitution and / or use of illicit or narcotic substances is expressly prohibited. It is also prohibited to hold parties and events, and to allow overnight guests other than those named as members of the group.
Paragraph 10 – In the event that the LESSEE withdraws the lease after making payments and before the final term of this agreement, no amounts will be returned to him or due, related to unused stay.
Paragraph 11 – The LESSEE is obliged to ensure the hygiene, conservation and cleanliness of all items and areas of the house, being responsible for the immediate repair of any damage, in order to deliver the apartment as received on departure.
Paragraph 12 – The return of the property automatically ends the lease, which, therefore, dispenses notification, interpellation or notice, regardless of any formality. The property shall be considered returned from LESSEE to LESSOR when it is totally free from persons and objects from the LESSEE group of occupants. Resistance in returning the property on the agreed date and time, constitutes an act of disseisin, allows for police enforcement and immediately incur in a daily fine equivalent to (two) times the total value of the lease apart from the Penalties described on the Seventh Clause.
6th Clause: CONTRACT TERMINATION AND FORCE MAJEUR
In case of disaster, emergency, destruction and vandalism, violence, natural hazards or a force majeure event, not related to the LESSEE’s actions, which would prevent the use of the property for its intended purpose, in whole or in part, interdiction or expropriation of the property, this contract shall be deemed terminated. Amounts payed shall be returned in up to 10 business days and the LESSOR shall be exempt from having to relocate the client.
7th Clause: PENALTIES
Failure to comply with any provision of this agreement results in a fine in the full amount of Security Deposit, per event. The amount is established in the Booking details on the Booking Platform. In cases where the wrongful action implies loss or fines, these must be payed in full. These contract breaches allow the LESSOR to terminate the contract and booking, evicting the client, without right to reimbursement, at his own discretion.
8th Clause: COMMUNICATIONS
All quotations, subpoenas and notifications by the parties must be made through the Booking Platform messaging system or by e-mail, from the same email address used to confirm the Booking. The Parties agree not to use any other form, under any circumstances, and no verbal agreement is accepted, so that any change in what is established hereby must be made by these means and rely on the express consent of the other party.
Paragraph 1 – The LESSEE is obliged to communicate to the LESSOR in due time any notices, notifications or communications that require the LESSOR’s knowledge, coming from the administration of the Condominium, the public authorities or other entities.
9th Clause: APPLICABLE LAW
