Terms and Condition

Dream Short Stays Limited

Terms and Conditions

1. Welcome to Dream Short Stays Limited!

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding legal agreement between you and Dream Short Stays Ltd. that govern your right to use the websites, applications, and other offerings from Dream Short Stays Ltd. (collectively, the “Dream Short Stays Platform”). When used in these Terms, “Dream Short Stays,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to the Dream Short Stays Ltd. with whom you are contracting. 

The Dream Short Stays Platform offers an online venue that enables users (“Members”) to publish, offer, search for, and book services. Members who publish and offer services are “Hosts” and Members who search for, book, or use services are “Guests.” Hosts offer accommodations (“Accommodations”), (each Host Service offering, a “Listing”). You must register an account to access and use many features of the Dream Short Stays Platform, and must keep your account information accurate. As the provider of the Dream Short Stays Platform, Dream Short Stays does not own, control, offer or manage any Listings or Host Services. Dream Short Stays is not a party to the contracts entered into directly between Hosts and Guests, nor is Dream Short Stays a real estate broker, travel agency, or insurer. Dream Short Stays is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member, except as specified in the Payments Terms of Service (“Payment Terms”). To learn more about Dream Short Stays’ role see below.

We maintain other terms and policies that supplement these Terms like our Privacy Policy, which describes our collection and use of personal data, and our Payments Terms, which govern any payment services provided to Members by the Dream Short Stays payment entities (collectively "Dream Short Stays Payments"). 

If you are a Host, you are responsible for understanding and complying with all laws, rules, regulations and contracts with third parties that apply to your Host Services.

2. Searching and Booking on Dream Short Stays.

2.1 Searching. You can search for Host Services by using criteria like the type of Host Service, travel destination, travel dates, and number of guests. You can also use filters to refine your search results. Search results are based on their relevance to your search and other criteria. Relevance considers factors like price, availability, Reviews, customer service and cancellation history, popularity, previous trips and saved Listings, Host requirements (e.g. minimum or maximum nights), and more.

2.2 Booking. When you book a Listing, you are agreeing to pay all charges for your booking including the Listing price, applicable fees like Dream Short Stays’s service fee, offline fees, taxes and any other items identified during checkout (collectively, “Total Price”). When you receive the booking confirmation, a contract for Host Services (a "Reservation") is formed directly between you and the Host. In addition to these Terms, you will be subject to, and responsible for complying with, all terms of the Reservation, including without limitation, the cancellation policy and any other rules, standards, policies, or requirements identified in the Listing or during checkout that apply to the Reservation. It is your responsibility to read and understand these rules, standards, policies, and requirements prior to booking a Listing. Be aware that some Hosts work with a co-host or as part of a team to provide their Host Services. 

2.3 Accommodation Reservations. An Accommodation Reservation is a limited license to enter, occupy and use the Accommodation. The Host retains the right to re-enter the Accommodation during your stay, to the extent: (i) it is reasonably necessary, (ii) permitted by your contract with the Host, and (iii) consistent with applicable law. If you stay past checkout, the Host has the right to make you leave in a manner consistent with applicable law, including by imposing reasonable overstay penalties. You may not exceed the maximum number of allowed Guests. 

2.4 Reservations for Experiences and Other Host Services. An Experience or other Host Service Reservation entitles you to participate in, attend, or use that Host Service. You are responsible for confirming that you, and anyone you invite, meet minimum age, proficiency, fitness or other requirements. You are responsible for informing the Host of any medical or physical conditions, or other circumstances that may impact your ability to participate, attend or use the Host Service. Except where expressly authorized, you may not allow any person to join a Host Service unless they are included as an additional guest during the booking process. 

3. Cancellations, Travel Issues, Refunds and Booking Modifications. 

3.1 Cancellations, Travel Issues, and Refunds. In general, if you cancel a reservation, the amount refunded to you is determined by the cancellation policy that applies to that reservation. But, in certain situations, other policies take precedence and determine what amount is refunded to you. If the Host cancels, or you experience a Travel Issue (as defined in our Rebooking and Refund Policy), you may be entitled to rebooking assistance or a partial or full refund under our Rebooking and Refund Policy. 

3.2 Booking Modifications. Hosts and Guests are responsible for any booking modifications they agree to make via the Dream Short Stays Platform or direct Dream Short Stays customer service to make on their behalf ("Booking Modifications"), and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees or taxes associated with any Booking Modification.

4. Your Responsibilities.

You are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you invite to join or provide access to any Accommodation or Experience. For example, this means: (i) you are responsible for leaving an Accommodation (and related personal property) in the condition it was in when you arrived, (ii) you are responsible for paying all Damage Claim amounts necessary to cover damage that you, your guest(s), or your pet(s) cause to an Accommodation, and (iii) you must act with integrity, treat others with respect and comply with applicable laws at all times. If you are booking for an additional guest who is a minor or if you bring a minor to a Host Service, you must be legally authorized to act on behalf of the minor and you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor.

5. Dream Short Stays’ Role

We offer you the right to use a platform that enables Members to publish, offer, search for, and book Host Services. When Members make or accept a booking, they are entering into a contract directly with each other. Dream Short Stays is not and does not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between Members. Dream Short Stays is not acting as an agent for any Member except for where Stripe Inc. Payments acts as a collection agent as provided in the Payments Terms. While we work hard to ensure our Members have great experiences using Dream Short Stays, we do not and cannot control the conduct or performance of Guests and Hosts and do not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Listings or Host Services or (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions, Reviews, or other Content provided by Members. You acknowledge that Dream Short Stays has no general obligation to monitor the use of the Dream Short Stays Platform and verify information provided by our Members, but has the right to review, disable access to, remove, or edit Content to: (i) operate, secure and improve the Dream Short Stays Platform (including for fraud prevention, risk assessment, investigation and customer support purposes); (ii) ensure Members’ compliance with these Terms; (iii) comply with applicable law or the order or requirement of a court, law enforcement or other administrative agency or governmental body; (iv) address Member Content that we determine is harmful or objectionable; (v) take actions set out in these Terms; and (vi) maintain and enforce any quality or eligibility criteria, including by removing Listings that don’t meet quality and eligibility criteria. Where we remove or disable Content, we will notify a Member and provide the reasons for such a measure, unless such notification would (i) prevent or impede the detection or prevention of fraud or other illegal activities, (ii) harm the legitimate interests of other Members or third parties, or (iii) contravene applicable laws. You may appeal such a decision by contacting our customer service. Members agree to cooperate with and assist Dream Short Stays in good faith, and to provide Dream Short Stays with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Dream Short Stays with respect to any investigation undertaken by Dream Short Stays regarding the use or abuse of the Dream Short Stays Platform.
