    Your interactions with organizations and/or individuals found on or through the Website and/or the Service, including users, Guests, and/or Hosts, and including payment and delivery of goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such third-party organizations and/or individuals. You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any user, Guest, and/or Host, or any other party or third-party. We do not control such parties, third-parties, or any other website and are not responsible for their actions, content or the privacy or other practices of any other website.

11. Payment – Fees Not Refundable

    You agree to pay Dominica Housing for the Total Fees for any booking requested in connection with your Dominica Housing Account if such requested bookings are confirmed by the applicable Host. In order to establish a booking pending the applicable Host’s confirmation of your requested booking, you understand and agree that Dominica Housing, on behalf of the Host, reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) obtain a pre-authorization via your credit card for the Total Fees or (ii) charge your credit card a nominal amount, not to exceed one dollar ($1), or a similar sum in the currency in which you are transacting ( e.g. one euro or one British pound) to verify your credit card. Once Dominica Housing receives confirmation of your booking from the applicable Host, Dominica Housing will collect the Total Fees in accordance with the terms and conditions of these Terms and the pricing terms set forth in the applicable Listing. Please note that Dominica Housing cannot control any fees that may be charged to a Guest by his or her bank related to Dominica Housing’s collection of the Total Fees, and Dominica Housing disclaims all liability in this regard. Dominica Housing charges a Facilitation Fee for each transaction. The Facilitation Fee is due and will be charged at time of confirmation and payment. The Facilitation Fee is not refundable under any circumstances whatsoever. In the event the Guest cancels a reservation, for any reason whatsoever, the Facilitation Fee will be deducted from any refund due the Guest. In the event the Host cancels a reservation, for any reason whatsoever, the Host will be liable to Dominica Housing for the Facilitation Fee.

    We use Paypal as a third-party payment system. We do not retain any payment card information. Any and all payments or fees charged by third-party service providers such as Paypal shall be borne by the users themselves unless otherwise stated.

12. Payments between Guests and Hosts

    Generally, upon confirmation of a transaction, the Guest will pay Dominica Housing and receive a payment code from Dominica Housing. Upon check-in, the Guest will present the payment code it received from Dominica Housing to the Host. The Host will then present the payment code to Dominica Housing, and upon confirmation of the authorized payment code, Dominica Housing will release payment to the Host.

    CAUTION – Dominica Housing is not responsible for cancellation policy disputes or any other disputes between Host and Guests. All Hosts are encouraged to conspicuously post in their listing, in clear and unambiguous language, their cancellation policy, if any. In the case that Dominica Housing advises Hosts that a booking cannot be verified, Dominica Housing is not responsible for payment unless the host can send the required verification documents that have been requested by Dominica Housing.

    Certified Hosts

    A Host may achieve the status of “Certified Host” upon completing three (3) bookings with positive feedback from Guests. A Host who has completed three (3) bookings and has received positive feedback from Guests may request “Certified Host” status. The status of “Certified Host” is determined by number of bookings that have been completed and positive feedback from Guest users. A Host may also be granted the status of “Certified Host” if short-term rentals are its primary business and they have been in the short-term rental business in excess of one (1) year. The designation of “Certified Host” may be discontinued by Dominica Housing in general or with respect to a particular Host for any reason or for no reason at the sole discretion of Dominica Housing. Generally, if a “Certified Host” has received negative feedback on more than one occasion, the status designation will be removed.

    Certified Hosts must conspicuously include a Cancellation Policy in each of their listings. Dominica Housing will abide by a Certified Host’s conspicuously-posted, reasonable Cancellation Policy.

    Facilitation Fee Due From Host

    In the event payment is made directly from Guest to Host, Host shall be liable to Dominica Housing for payment of the Facilitation Fee for each occurrence. Failure to promptly remit the Facilitation Fee to Dominica Housing upon the commencement of the subject stay may result in the immediate or subsequent removal of the offending Host’s listing(s) on the Website, at the sole discretion of Dominica Housing, and failure to take such action in one instance shall not act as a waiver of Dominica Housing’s right to take such action at any time.

13. Indemnity

    You agree to indemnify and hold us, and our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, attorneys, joint-ventures, employees, or other partners, harmless from any claim or demand, including attorney's fees, made by (i) any third party due to or arising out of Content you submit, post, transmit or make available to us and (ii) any Guest, Host, or third-party arising out of a transaction or stay arranged via the Website (including, without limitation, for damage to or loss of real or personal property, personal injury, the violation of any law, or the breach of any lease or agreement relating to real property).
