Terms and conditions

1. Introduction

Vacation-NOW.com acts as an intermediary to establish contact between individuals or companies who wish to let out their holiday home (from here onwards known as the ”Landlord”) and individuals or companies who wish to rent a holiday home (from here onwards known as the ”Tenant”) (collectively referred to as the ”User”).

After Vacation-NOW.com has established contact between the Landlord and the Tenant, all dealings regarding the letting take place solely between the Landlord and the Tenant and as such does not concern Vacation-NOW.com.

2. The Tenant’s use of Vacation-NOW.com

Vacation-NOW.com would like to draw the Tenant’s attention to the fact that there can be a risk of fraudulent landlords, whose sole purpose is to defraud other potential Users for example by charging a deposit or a prepaid rent for a holiday home which does not exist. Our Users are therefore urged to take the necessary precautions and not pay any money to individuals or companies whom they do not trust.

Vacation-NOW.com continuously runs checks to validate the authenticity of the listings and deletes user profiles which act against Vacation-NOW.com’s guidelines.

Vacation-NOW.com does not account for the authenticity of the listings or for the intentions of the landlord otherwise, including whether or not the descriptions, photos and videos from the landlord in question are consistent with reality, or whether the price is reasonable.

The Tenant agrees that Vacation-NOW.com contacts the Tenant once shortly after the Landlord has been contacted and once within two months after the rental period has ended. Vacation-NOW.com contacting the Tenant is done with the purpose of securing the quality of the Tenant’s experience with the Landlord by which the User’s conditions are optimised for the future.
