Terms of Use and Guidelines for site users (Holidaymakers)
Terms for any holidaymaker using this website who is not using it in his/her/its capacity as a property owner or property manager. Holidaymakers include people who use the site to access information about, or to rent, properties. By using or accessing this site, you agree to these terms and conditions.
This site is a place where Holidaymakers can view advertising of, and obtain information about, properties offered for rental by Owners, and communicate with them. HC.COM is not, and does not become, party to any contractual relationship between the Holidaymaker and the Owner, and does not mediate between the Holidaymaker and the Owner in the event of any dispute arising between them. The site is a venue for Owners and Holidaymakers to interact.
Property Listings and Interaction with Owners: Owners are entirely responsible for all of the information, including images, text and other content, relating to the Properties they offer, for updating them and ensuring the information is correct. If Holidaymakers find a Property in which they are interested, they can send an information request to the Owner. The Owner may then communicate with the Holidaymaker in connection with the inquiry. HC.COM has no responsibility for, or involvement in, the communication between the Owner and Holidaymaker.
Rights and obligations of HC.COM: HC.COM shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that depictions on the site of the photos of the Properties that Owners have submitted to HC.COM are as true and accurate a representation of those photos as practicable. Holidaymakers also acknowledge that Owners – and not HC.COM – are responsible for the accuracy with which the photos depict the relevant Property. Each Holidaymaker acknowledges that HC.COM is not responsible for checking the identity, or for the behaviour, of Owners or for establishing the nature, condition or existence of a Property.
In no event will HC.COM be liable for any lost profits or any indirect, consequential, special, incidental, or punitive damages arising out of, based on, or resulting from the site, your use of the site and/or any transaction between users, even if HC.COM has been advised of the possibility of such damages. These limitations and exclusions apply without regard to whether the damages arise from breach of contract, negligence or any other cause of action. If you are dissatisfied with the Site, you do not agree with any part of these Holidaymaker Ts & Cs, then your sole and exclusive remedy against HC.COM is to discontinue using the site.
These Holidaymaker Ts & Cs, and the relationship between the Owner and HC.COM, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
