VRconnection is an Internet based vacation property
listing and management facilitation service, enabling third party vacation
property owners and managers to market, manage, and monitor their vacation
rental units. All property information contained within the VRconnection Web
site has been furnished by said property owners and/or managers and its
validity has not been confirmed or verified by VRconnection. Therefore,
VRconnection assumes no responsibility or liability for any property
information or claims presented within the Web site. A property owner or
manager is solely responsible for his or her submissions.
Renter/Guest Responsibilities
Renters/guests are responsible to confirm all information,
including, but not limited to, refund and cancellation policies, before
enlisting services from any property owner and/or manager.
In general renters should do the following:
- Communicate extensively with an owner/manager until you are
comfortable booking a stay.
- Use Google search to research a rental and owner/manager. Most property
owners/managers will enlist multiple listing services to promote their
properties. Read all reviews posted to get a sense of how they conduct
their business.
- Obtain and execute a written (either physical or electronic) rental
agreement that spells out the specific terms of the rental being entered
into by guest and owner/manager.
- Make rental payments with a method that offers some form of buyer
protection. Payment by credit card offers you the most protection but other
forms of payment do as well. NEVER PAY FOR A RENTAL USING AN ANONYMOUS
WIRE SERVICE SUCH AS WESTERN UNION. Requests to pay this way are
almost always attempts to defraud you. Please
report such requests to us.
Most all, use common sense. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it
probably is.
VRconnection does not tolerate any fraud on its service, but can only
address such fraud when
we are notified of it being perpetrated. We do not have the resources
to proactively verify and validate any claims made by any property
owner/manager that advertises their property on our website. All due
dillegence must be performed by the renter. VRconnection will investigate
any claims of fraud brought to our attention and take the appropriate
action to sanction or remove any owner/manager and advertisement guilty
or suspected of engaging in fraudulent activity.
Property Owner/Manager Responsibilities
Property owners and/or managers are responsible for qualifying any
prospective guest acquired via the VRconnection service or otherwise.
VRconnection is a public website that will display your property to all
Internet users and we have no way to quaily a user as fit to rent a
property.
In general property owners/managers should do the following:
- Communicate extensively with a prospective guest until you are
comfortable booking your property for them.
- Use Google search and other search tools to research a prospective guest.
- Provide and execute a written (either physical or electronic) rental
agreement that spells out the specific terms of the rental being entered
into by guest and owner/manager.
- Obtain full payment and some form of damage deposit prior to a guests arrival.
Most all, use common sense.
VRconnection, its owners and employees, assume no liability or
responsibility for any claims that arise between owners/manager and
renters that result from the use of the VRconnection service.
VRconnection, its owners and employees are not
licensed real estate brokers or agents. The Web site and service must be
considered a software application/tool that third party vacation property
owners/manager enlist to facilitate the rental of their properties to third
party renters. At no time is a VRconnection owner or employee directly
involved in any transaction that takes place within the Web site. All
responsibility and liability for each transaction is solely borne by the
property owner and/or manager.
Property owners/managers are solely responsible for all
information furnished about their property as well as all claims made
before, during, and after each and every rental transaction. Owner/managers
are expected to adhere to an Acceptable Content Policy designed to provide a
safe, "family friendly" environment.
Acceptable Content Policy
All content must be "family friendly" and "G" rated. Content, including
both text and pictures, may not contain vulgarity, or comments related to
violence, hate, or references of a sexual nature. Any such references are
considered unacceptable and may be removed without notice. In the case of
disputed content, the operators of VRconnection will be the final judge as
to the appropriateness of all content. Each VRconnection listing provides
designated locations for contact information, including, but not limited to,
e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and external Internet addresses (URLs). All
such content must be confined to these locations, and VRconnection reserves
the right to remove and/or relocate this information to its appropriate
location. VRconnection reserves the right to reject and/or edit any content
for any reason it deems necessary.
Failure to abide by the Acceptable Content Policy may result in
cancellation of services.
Local Rules and Regulations
Property owners and/or managers are responsible for investigating and
adhering to all local regulations, including, but not limited to, permits,
licenses, occupancy taxes, and safety compliance. Please contact your local
chamber of commerce for additional information.
Rental Inquiries
To reduce the volume of SPAM delivered via the Rental Request form,
inquiries may be monitored and filtered by
VRconnection prior to delivery. Despite our
filtering efforts, it is possible that some SPAM
inquiries will be delivered anyway. Rental
inquires are delivered via Internet email and are not to be considered
private. Internet e-mail delivery is not 100% reliable and
VRconnection cannot be held responsible for undelivered inquiries or
for missed income that may have resulted from
undelivered inquiries. VRconnection, at its
sole discretion, may supply to potential renters
the direct e-mail address and or phone number of
VRconnection advertisers for the purpose of making a rental inquiry.
Availability of Service
If the operators of VRconnection are unable to provide the promised level of
service for any reason, including, but not limited to service outages, war,
acts of God or negligence, neither VRconnection or its owners can be held
liable for any costs beyond the prorated costs paid for the services
which were not provided. VRconnection does not guarantee that the Web site
will be available 100% of the time. |
