3. Modification
Rhenti reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify the Site, Application or Services or to modify these Terms, including the Service Fees, at any time and without prior notice. If we modify these Terms, we will either post the modification on the Site or via the Application or otherwise provide you with notice of the modification. We will also update the "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms. By continuing to access or use the Site, Application or Services after we have posted a modification on the Site or via the Application or have provided you with notice of a modification, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If the modified Terms are not acceptable to you, your only recourse is to cease using the Site, Application and Services.
4. Eligibility
The Site, Application and Services are intended solely for persons who are 18 or older. Any access to or use of the Site, Application or Services by anyone under 18 is expressly prohibited. By accessing or using the Site, Application or Services you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older.
Rhenti may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and if we have sufficient information to identify a user, obtain reports from public records of criminal convictions or sex offender registrations of the user. You agree and authorize us to use your personal information, such as your full name and date of birth, to obtain such reports, including from Rhenti vendors. Rhenti agrees not to share this information with any third party.
5. How the Site, Application and Services Work
The Site, Application and Services can be used to facilitate the listing and renting of Accommodations. Such Accommodations are included in Listings on the Site, Application and Services by Property Owners. You may view Listings as an unregistered visitor to the Site, Application and Services; however, if you wish to rent an Accommodation or create a Listing, you must first register to create a Rhenti Account (defined below).
As stated above, Rhenti makes available an online platform or marketplace with related technology for Renters and Property Owners to meet online and arrange for rentals of Accommodations directly with each other. Rhenti is not an owner or operator of properties, nor is it a provider of properties, and Rhenti does not own, sell, resell, furnish, provide, rent, re-rent, manage and/or control properties. Unless explicitly specified otherwise in the Rhenti platform, Rhenti ‘s responsibilities are limited to facilitating the availability of the Site, Application and Services.
6. Account Registration
In order to access certain features of the Site and Application, and to rent an Accommodation or create a Listing, you must register to create an account ("Rhenti Account") and become a Member. You may register to join the Services directly via the Site or Application.
Your Rhenti Account and your Rhenti Account profile page will be created for your use of the Site and Application based upon the personal information you provide to us. You may not have more than one (1) active Rhenti Account. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current and complete. Rhenti reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Rhenti Account and your access to the Site, Application and Services if you create more than one (1) Rhenti Account, or if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, fraudulent, not current, incomplete, or otherwise in violation of these Terms of Service.
You are responsible for safeguarding your password. You agree that you will not disclose your password to any third party and that you will take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your Rhenti Account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. You will immediately notify Rhenti of any unauthorized use of your Rhenti Account.
7. Renter Profiles
As a Member, you may create a Renter Profile. To create a Renter Profile, you will be asked a variety of questions about yourself, including, but not limited to, your age, education status and history, employment status and history, and current residential status history. You understand and agree that you must provide accurate information when creating your Renter Profile. If Rhenti discovers that any of the information you have provided is inaccurate or misleading, Rhenti may, at its sole discretion, shut down or suspend your Rhenti Account.
In an effort to complete your Renter Profile, you may elect to allow Rhenti to conduct a credit check into your creditworthiness. You understand and agree that if you make this election, Rhenti will utilize a 3rd party service to check into your financial history. Rhenti represents and warrants that the result of this credit check will only be shared with Property Owners that receive at least one application from you to rent one of their listings through the Rhenti Site, Application or Services.
You may also elect to provide Rhenti with uploaded reference letters, or referees to contact. You understand and agree that if you provide contact information for these referees that Rhenti and any Property Owners that receive an application from you to rent at least one of their listings through the Rhenti Site, Application or Services will contact said referees to collect additional information about you to complete your Renter Profile. Rhenti represents and warrants that the information collected from this process will remain strictly confidential, and will not be licensed to or shared with third parties in any manner, except any Property Owners that receive an application from you to rent at least one of their listings through the Rhenti Site, Application or Services.
8. Accommodation Listings
As a Member, you may create Listings. To create a Listing, you will be asked a variety of questions about the Accommodation to be listed, including, but not limited to, the location, capacity, size, features, and availability of the Accommodation and pricing and related rules and financial terms. In order to be featured in Listings via the Site, Application and Services, all Accommodations must have valid physical addresses. Listings will be made publicly available via the Site, Application and Services. You understand and agree that the placement or ranking of Listings in search results may depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, Property Owner and Renter preferences, ratings and/or ease of booking.
If you have created a Listing, a Rhenti Ambassador may visit the Accommodation within 1-3 business days to perform a verification. During this verification, the Ambassador will take photos and key measurements of the Accommodation. You understand and agree that the Rhenti Ambassador will have to enter your property for up to 45 minutes to conduct the Verification. You agree to allow the Ambassador access to your Accommodation for that time period. The Ambassador’s photographs, measurements and descriptions will be used to populate your Listing on the Site, Application or Services.
Other Members will be able to rent your Accommodation via the Site, Application and Services based upon the information contained in your Listing, the Renters' search parameters and preferences, and your Renter acceptance criteria.
You represent and warrant that any Listing you post and the renting of, an Accommodation in a Listing you post (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, such as homeowners association, condominium, lease or rental agreements, and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws (such as zoning laws and laws governing rentals of residential and other properties), Tax requirements, Intellectual Property laws, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Accommodation included in a Listing you post (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties. Please note that Rhenti assumes no responsibility for a Property Owner's compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations. Rhenti reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Listing for any reason, including Listings that Rhenti, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms or otherwise harmful to the Site, Application or Services.
If you are a Property Owner, you understand and agree that Rhenti does not act as an insurer or as your contracting agent. If a Renter rents your Accommodation via Rhenti, and stays at your Accommodation, any agreement you enter into with such Renter is between you and the Renter and Rhenti is not a party to it, even though Rhenti may provide the functionality to create said agreement within the Site, Application or Services.
Rhenti recommends that Property Owners obtain appropriate insurance for their Accommodations. Please review any insurance policy that you may have for your Accommodation carefully, and in particular please make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of Renters (and the individuals the Renter invites to the Accommodation, if applicable) while at your Accommodation.
9. Lease Agreement
In order to secure an Accommodation for the rental term specified, a Renter will be presented with a digitized copy of a Lease Agreement, customized to the specifications of the Property Owner, and will have to digital sign that Lease Agreement. A doubly executed copy (also signed by the Property Owner) will be sent via e-mail or mail service to both the Renter and the Property Owner once executed.
This Lease Agreement encompasses the terms and conditions that govern a Renters occupation of a Property Owner’s premises. In no way is Rhenti a party to any of said Terms and Conditions; Rhenti’s role is merely to facilitate and simplify the process of a Property Owner finding the right Renter for their Accommodation, and vice versa. If a Lease Agreement is signed by both parties, Rhenti will do whatever it can to ensure that the Accommodation is made available to the Renter in the manner contemplated by the doubly-executed Lease Agreement.
10. No Endorsement
Rhenti does not endorse any Member, Listing or Accommodation. You understand that Verified Images are intended only to indicate a photographic representation of the Accommodation at the time the photograph was taken. Verified Images are therefore not an endorsement by Rhenti of any Member, Listing or Accommodation.
Members are required by these Terms to provide accurate information. Although Rhenti may, for transparency or fraud prevention or detection purposes, or to create a comprehensive Member profile, directly or through third parties, ask you to provide a form of government identification, your date of birth, and other information, or undertake additional checks and processes designed to help verify or check the identities or backgrounds of Members and/or screen Member information against third party databases or other sources, we do not make any representations about, confirm, or endorse any Member or the Member's purported identity or background.
Any references in the Site, Application or Services to a Member being "Rhenti verified" only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification or identification process, and has been vetted by Rhenti, and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by Rhenti about any Member, including of the Member's identity and whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. We therefore recommend that you always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to rent from a Property Owner or to have any other interaction with any other Member.
By using the Site, Application or Services, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other Members or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Members or other third parties who caused you harm. You agree not to attempt to impose liability on or seek any legal remedy from Rhenti with respect to such actions or omissions. This limitation shall not apply to any claim by a Property Owner against Rhenti regarding the remittance of payments received from a Renter by Rhenti on behalf of a Property Owner, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled "Limitation of Liability".
11. User Conduct
