Application and Introduction
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding legal agreement between you and Resortifi, Inc. (“Resortifi”) that govern your use of the websites, applications, or other offerings from Resortifi (collectively, the “Resortifi Platform”). By using the Resortifi Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to these Terms. If you use the Resortifi Platform on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that (1) you are authorized to agree to the Terms on behalf of the entity, and (2) the entity will be bound by the Terms.
The Resortifi Platform offers an internet marketplace that enables a user (“Member”) to list, offer, search for, rent, or use a Member’s swimming pool and its surrounding area (a “Pool”). A Member who lists, offers, or provides a Pool is a “Host” and a Member who searches for, rents, or uses a Pool is a “Guest”. The Resortifi Platform enables transactions between Members whereby a Host grants a limited license to a Guest to enter, occupy, and use a Pool (a “Booking”).
As the provider of the Resortifi Platform, Resortifi does not own, control, offer or manage any Pool or Member property. Resortifi is not a party to any agreement between Members. Resortifi is not an insurer, nor is Resortifi acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member.

Member Accounts
Registration Requirements.You must create an Account to access and use many features of the Resortifi Platform. Registration is permitted only for legal entities, partnerships, and natural persons who are 21 years of age or older. By creating an Account, you represent and warrant that you are over the age of 21 and not a person or entity prohibited from using the Resortifi Platform under Applicable Law. You may register directly using the Resortifi Platform or by any other manner provided by Resortifi. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your Account information up to date. You may not register more than one Account or transfer your Account to someone else.
Account Credentials.You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Account credentials and may not disclose your credentials to any third party. You are responsible and liable for activities conducted through your Account and must immediately notify Resortifi if you suspect that your credentials have been lost, stolen, or your Account is otherwise compromised. If and as permitted by Applicable Law, we may, but have no obligation to (i) ask you to provide identification or other information, (ii) undertake checks designed to help verify your identity or background, (iii) screen you against third-party databases or other sources and request reports from service providers, and (iv) obtain reports from public records of criminal convictions or sex offender registrations or their local equivalents. If we choose to conduct identity verification on any Member, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, we disclaim warranties of any kind, either express or implied, that such checks will identify prior misconduct by a Member or guarantee that a Member will not engage in misconduct in the future.
Background Checks.Consistent with Applicable Law, Resortifi may conduct a background check for all Members at the time of Account creation and annually for continuing Members. When you register an Account, you authorize Resortifi to submit your relevant information to law enforcement or third-party agencies for purposes of conducting a background check. By using the Resortifi Platform, you certify that you are providing us “written instructions” to obtain a background check on you to determine your eligibility for use of the Resortifi Platform. You further instruct us to perform ongoing background checks during your use of the Resortifi Platform, as needed, to ensure continued safety of our platform and community of users. You agree to cooperate with and assist Resortifi in good faith, and to provide any information we reasonably request, and to take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Resortifi with respect to any background check.
Booking
Searching.You can search for Listings using the Resortifi Platform. The placement or ranking of Listings in search results may depend on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, their relevance to your search and other criteria.
Reserving a Listing.When you book a Listing, you are agreeing to pay the Total Price and all charges associated with the Listing identified at checkout. A Booking is created when you receive a booking confirmation. The cancellation policy and terms, policies, or conditions identified in the Listing or during checkout form part of your agreement with the Host.
Reentry.A Guest retains the right to reenter a Pool under a Booking to the extent reentry is (i) reasonably necessary, (ii) permitted by your agreement with the Host, or (iii) consistent with Applicable Law.
Unauthorized Guests and Overstays.Unless we specifically provide otherwise, a Guest who books a Pool must be physically present at the Pool for the Agreed Duration. You may not exceed the maximum number of Guests allowed under your Booking. If you or an additional Guest stays at a Pool past the Agreed Duration, the Host has the right to make you or the guest leave in a manner consistent with Applicable Law, including by imposing reasonable overstay penalties.
Booking Modifications and Cancellations
Booking Modifications.Guests and Hosts are responsible for any booking modification they agree to make or direct Resortifi to make on their behalf (“Booking Modification”). Guests and Hosts agree to pay any additional amounts, fees, or Taxes associated with any Booking Modification.
Cancellations and Refunds.In general, if as a Guest you cancel a Booking, the amount refunded to you is determined by the cancellation policy that applies to the Booking. But in some circumstances other policies apply and determine the amount that is refunded to you.
Guest Responsibilities and Assumption of Risk
Your Responsibilities.As a Guest, you are responsible and liable for your own acts and omissions and the acts and omissions of anyone you invite to join or who you allow to access a Pool under your Booking. For example, you are responsible for leaving a Pool and other Host property in the condition it was in when you arrived. You agree to act with integrity, treat others with respect, and comply with Applicable Law and the terms of your Booking at all times. If you book for an additional guest who is a minor or if you bring a minor to a Pool, you must be legally authorized to act on behalf of the minor and you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor.
Your Assumption of Risk.You acknowledge that many activities carry inherent risks and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, you assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Resortifi Platform including any Content, use of a Pool or any other Host offering, or any other interaction you have with Members or third parties, whether in person or online. You acknowledge that you are responsible for investigating a Host and a Pool to determine whether it suits you or additional Guests. For example, access to or use of a Pool may carry risk of illness, bodily injury, disability, or death, and you freely and willfully assume those risks by accessing or using a Pool.
Alcoholic Beverages.Guests are responsible for understanding and complying with Applicable Law related to the consumption of alcoholic beverages at a Pool. No individual under age 21 may consume alcohol at a Booking.
Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages.Guests may not bring any container, for a beverage or otherwise, containing or consisting of glass to a Pool. Guests are permitted to bring their own food and beverages to a Pool, but Guests may not bring their own cooking equipment (for example, a portable grill).
Pets.You may not bring a pet to a Pool unless it is authorized under your Booking. You are fully responsible for any pet you bring to a Pool.
Listing and Booking
Creating and Managing your Listing.As a Host, you must own a Pool to list it on the Resortifi Platform (for example, if you are a tenant of a property, you may not list a Pool at the rented property on the Resortifi Platform). Your Listing must include complete and accurate information about your Pool, your Pool Fee, other charges like cleaning fees, security deposits, or Taxes, and any rules or requirements that apply to Guests, your Listing, or your Pool. You are responsible for keeping your Listing information (including calendar availability) and Content up-to-date and accurate at all times. You are responsible for ensuring your Listing complies with Applicable Law and does not conflict with the rights of a third party. When you create a Listing, you agree to list your Pool as available for rental exclusively on the Resortifi Platform.
Accepting or Rejecting a Booking Request.A Member may request to book your Listing. If you do not accept or reject the request within a time period provided by the Resortifi Platform (the “Booking Request Period”), the request will automatically expire and any fees collected from the Guest will be returned to the Guest. Resortifi, in its sole discretion, may determine and modify the Booking Request Period.
Contracting with Guests.A Booking is created when you receive a booking confirmation. You are solely responsible for delivering your Pool and performing your obligations under your Booking. Except as otherwise provided by these Terms, you may not request that a Guest pay a higher price or additional fees after a Booking is created. The terms, policies, and conditions specified in your Listing form part of your agreement with the Guest. Any terms, policies, or conditions that you include in any supplemental contract with a Guest must be (i) consistent with these Terms and the information provided in your Listing, and (ii) prominently disclosed in your Listing.
Pool Availability.You agree to make your Pool available for the Agreed Duration.
Pool Safety.As a Host, you represent and warrant that your Pool(s) and other amenities are maintained to ensure the health and safety of Guests, including but not limited to maintenance of water treatment, ensuring the Pool is enclosed by a fence with a locking gate or other reasonable security measures, ensuring installation and use of a drain cover, and providing notice that no lifeguard is on duty, in addition to other applicable safety-related signage or notice(s).
Diving Boards and Slides.As a Host, you represent and warrant that any diving boards or slides are used safely and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction. This includes safety features such as with hand rails, proper depth of water, and no-slip grips.
Booking Modifications and Cancellations
Booking Modifications.Hosts and Guests are responsible for any Booking Modification and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees, or Taxes associated with any Booking Modification.
Host Cancellations.In general, if as a Host you cancel a Booking, the amount refunded to the Guest is determined by the cancellation policy that applies to your Booking. But in some circumstances other policies apply and determine the amount refunded to the Guest. Because cancellations disrupt Guests’ plans and diminish confidence in the Resortifi Platform, Hosts should act in good faith to fulfill all Bookings. If you cancel a Booking, the following consequences will apply and preempt any conflicting terms in the Booking:
If you cancel a Booking between 24 and 72 hours before the beginning of the Booking, Resortifi will charge you a cancellation fee equal to 50% of the Total Price. If you cancel a Booking less than 24 hours before the beginning of the Booking, Resortifi will charge you a cancellation fee equal to the Total Price.
If you cancel a Booking, Resortifi may (i) block your calendar for the dates of the cancelled Booking, in which case you will not be able to accept another Booking for the same date(s) as the cancelled Booking, (ii) post an automated review your Listing indicating that you cancelled one of your reservations, or (iii) increase your Host Fee for future Bookings.
The consequences set forth in this section will not apply if you cancel a Booking due to unforeseen circumstances beyond your control that arise after the Booking was created and make it impracticable or illegal to provide your Pool under the Booking. Such circumstances include government-declared emergencies, government travel restrictions (not including non-binding travel advisories and similar government guidance), natural disasters, acts of God, large-scale outages of essential utilities, abnormal weather events, and the circumstances described in Section 8.3.
Cancellations for Inclement Weather.In certain circumstances, such as rain, thunder, lightning, hail, tornado, or other inclement weather posing danger to the safety of Guests, Hosts and Guests should cancel a Booking. Under such circumstances, Resortifi will not assess a penalty due to the cancellation and will allow the Host to accommodate the reservation at a different date within one week of the original Booking date.
Taxes
Host Taxes.As a Host, you are responsible for determining and fulfilling your obligations under Applicable Law to report, collect, remit, and include in your Listing all applicable Taxes.
Tax Information.In some jurisdictions, Applicable Law may require that we collect or report tax information about you to appropriate entities, or withhold Taxes from payouts, or both. If you do not provide us with information that we determine to be sufficient to meet such requirements, we may withhold payouts up to the amount as required by Applicable Law until sufficient information is provided. You agree that Resortifi may issue on your behalf invoices or similar documentation for Taxes to facilitate accurate tax reporting by you or our Guests. Resortifi is not responsible for reporting, collecting, or remitting Taxes unless it is required to do so by Applicable Law.
Host Responsibilities and Assumption of Risk
Your Legal Obligations.You are responsible for understanding and complying with Applicable Law that applies to your Pool, Listing, Booking and your interactions with Guests and third parties. For example, some municipalities restrict the use of pools or require that a Host obtain a license or permit to list or use their Pool or to invite guests. Information we provide regarding legal requirements is for informational purposes and you should independently confirm your obligations. You should seek legal advice if you have questions about Applicable Law concerning your Listing or Pool.
Your Responsibilities.You are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you allow to participate in providing your Pool or otherwise performing under your Booking. You are responsible for setting your Pool Fee and establishing the terms or conditions of your Listing and Booking. You must describe any and all fees and charges in your Listing description and you may not collect any additional fees or charges outside the Resortifi Platform.
Alcoholic Beverages.Hosts are responsible for understanding and complying with Applicable Law related to the consumption of alcoholic beverages at a Pool. No individual under age 21 may consume alcohol at a Booking.
Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages.Hosts may provide access to prepackaged food and beverages such as water bottles, bags of chips, or soft drinks to Guests. Hosts may not offer or provide access to (i) prepared or homemade foods or (ii) food and beverages in glass containers. You must exercise reasonable diligence to ensure glass containers are not on Pool premises during a Booking. If you offer access to outdoor cooking equipment to a Guest in your Booking (for example, a grill), you warrant that the equipment is in excellent working condition, has been inspected in the last 30 days, and will not pose any threat to the Guest but for Guest’s own misuse. Furthermore, you must provide the Guest with instructions for safe and lawful use of the equipment either through the Resortifi Platform or appropriate signage on premises.
Other On-Site Amenities.You may permit the use of additional amenities on your property (for example, a restroom). However, certain high-hazard amenities, including but not limited to trampolines, bounce houses, rope swings, and swing sets may not be offered to or used by a Guest.
Pets.Hosts are responsible for their owned pets and must ensure their pets are kept separate and away from Guests at all times during a Booking. You must specify in your Listing if a pet is on your Pool premises and acknowledge that the pet will be kept separate and away from Guests during the Booking.
Insurance.We recommend that you obtain appropriate insurance for your Pool and suggest that you carefully review policy terms and conditions like coverage details and exclusions. You understand and agree that Resortifi does not act as an insurer. You understand and agree that Resortifi may make a claim under your homeowner’s, renter’s, or other insurance policy related to any damage or loss arising from the use of your Pool.
General
Verification of Payment or Payout Method.You authorize Resortifi, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider necessary to verify your identity. This may include (i) screening you against third-party databases or other sources, (ii) requesting reports from service providers, (iii) asking you to provide a form of government identification (e.g., driver’s license or passport), your date of birth, your address, and other information, or (iv) requiring you to take steps to confirm ownership of your email address, Payment Method(s) or Payout Method(s). Resortifi reserves the right to terminate, suspend, or limit access to your Account if we are unable to obtain or verify any of this information.
Collection.You authorize Resortifi to collect from you amounts due under these Terms by either (i) charging the Payment Method associated with the relevant Booking, or any other Payment Method on file that you authorize in your Account (unless you have previously removed the authorization to charge such Payment Method(s)), or (ii) withholding the amount from your future Payout(s). Specifically, you authorize Resortifi to collect from you:
Any amount due to Resortifi (e.g., as a result of your Bookings, Booking Modifications, cancellations, or other actions as a Member), including reimbursement for costs prepaid by Resortifi on your behalf. Any funds collected by Resortifi will set off the amount owed by you to Resortifi and extinguish your obligation to Resortifi.
Taxes, where applicable or provided for in these Terms.
Overstay penalties, including any cost and expenses incurred in collecting the overstay penalty.
Any other Service Fees imposed under these Terms.
In addition to any amount due as provided above, if there are delinquent amounts or chargebacks associated with your Payment Method, you may be charged fees that are incidental to Resortifi’s collection of these delinquent amounts and chargebacks. Such fees or charges may include collection fees, convenience fees or other third-party charges.
Fees.Resortifi may charge fees and, if applicable, Taxes to Members for use of the Resortifi Platform. Fees or charges may include collection fees, convenience fees, third-party charges or any other fees that may be required to address your Account and are permitted by Applicable Law. Except as otherwise provided on the Resortifi Platform, Service Fees are non-refundable. Resortifi reserves the right to change the Service Fees at any time, and will provide Members notice of any fee changes before they become effective. Fee changes will not affect Bookings made before the effective date of the fee change. If you disagree with a fee change you may terminate this agreement at any time in accordance with Section 17.
Collections.If Resortifi is unable to collect any amounts you owe under these Terms, Resortifi may undergo collection efforts to recover such amounts from you.
Guest Terms
Payment Method Information.When you add a Payment Method to your Account, you will be asked to provide billing information such as name, billing address, and financial instrument information. You authorize Resortifi and its payment service providers to collect and store your Payment Method information. You are responsible for (i) evaluating the practices of your Payment Method provider, and (ii) complying with any additional terms or conditions of a third-party payment service provider associated with your Payment Method. Resortifi is not responsible for any loss suffered by you as a result of incorrect Payment Method information provided by you.
Automatic Update of Payment Information.If your Payment Method account information changes (e.g., account number, routing number, or expiration date) as a result of re-issuance or otherwise, you agree that we may acquire that information from our financial services partners or your bank and automatically update your Payment Method on file.
Payment Method Verification.When you add or use a new Payment Method, you authorize Resortifi to verify the Payment Method by (i) obtaining a pre-authorization via your Payment Method or (ii) charging your Payment Method a nominal amount, not to exceed one dollar ($1).
Payment Authorization.You authorize Resortifi or its payment service providers to charge your Payment Method (including charging more than one payment method), either directly or indirectly, for all fees due (including any applicable Taxes) in connection with your Account.
Timing of Payment.Resortifi generally charges the Total Price due after the Host accepts your booking request. However, if you pay with a push Payment Method, Resortifi will collect the Total Price due at the time of your booking request. If Resortifi is unable to collect the Total Price due as scheduled, Resortifi will collect the Total Price due at a later time. Once the payment transaction for your Booking is successfully completed, you will receive a confirmation email summarizing your Booking.
Booking Request Status.If a requested booking is declined either because it is not accepted by the Host or you cancel the booking request before it is accepted by the Host, any amounts collected by Resortifi will be refunded to you, and any pre-authorization of your Payment Method will be released (if applicable). The timing to receive the refund or for the pre-authorization to be released will vary based on the Payment Method and any applicable payment system rules.
Payment Restrictions.We reserve the right to decline or limit payments that we believe (i) may violate these Terms, (ii) are unauthorized, fraudulent or illegal, or (iii) expose you, Resortifi, or others to risks unacceptable to Resortifi.
Host Terms
Adding a Payout Method.In order to receive a payout, you must have a valid Payout Method linked to your Account. When you add a Payout Method to your Account, you will be asked to provide billing information such as name, government identification, tax ID, billing address, and financial instrument information either to Resortifi or its third-party payment processor(s). Depending on the Payout Method selected, additional information may be required, such as residential address, name on the account, account type, routing number, account number, email address, payout currency, identification number or account information associated with a particular payment processor. You authorize Resortifi to collect and store your billing information and financial instrument information. Resortifi may also share your information with governmental authorities as required or permitted by Applicable Law. Resortifi is not responsible for any loss suffered by you as a result of incorrect Payout Method information provided by you.
Timing of Payment Collection.Resortifi generally collects the Total Price when you accept a Guest’s booking request. However, if a Guest pays with a push Payment Method, Resortifi will collect the Total Price at the time of the Booking request.
Payout.Your Payout for a Booking will equal the Total Price minus Service Fees and applicable Taxes. If a Booking is cancelled, Resortifi will remit the amount you are due (if any) as provided in these Terms and applicable cancellation policy. Balances will be remitted by Resortifi to a Host via the Payout Method selected by the Host, depending on the selections the Host makes via the Resortifi Platform. Resortifi may, in its sole discretion, round up or round down amounts payable from or to Guests and Hosts to the nearest whole dollar (e.g., $101.50 to $102.00, or $101.49 to $101.00).
Payout Restrictions.Resortifi may temporarily place a hold, suspend, or cancel any Payout for purposes of preventing suspected or known unlawful activity or fraud, risk assessment, security, or completing an investigation, or if we are unable to verify your identity. Resortifi may also temporarily place a hold on, suspend, or delay initiating or processing any Payout due to you under these Terms as a result of a force majeure event (as defined in these Terms).
Limits on Payouts.For compliance or operational reasons, Resortifi may limit the amount of a Payout. If you are due an amount above that limit, Resortifi may make a series of Payouts (potentially over multiple days) in order to provide your full Payout amount.

Resortifi may modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes to these Terms, we will post the revised Terms on the Resortifi Platform and update the “Last Updated” date of the Terms. Changes to the Terms are effective at the time of posting. We will provide you with notice of any material changes by email at least 30 days before the date they become effective. If you disagree with the revised Terms, you may terminate this agreement immediately as provided in these Terms. If you do not terminate your agreement before the date the revised Terms become effective, your continued access to or use of the Resortifi Platform will constitute acceptance of the revised Terms.
Member Cooperation
You agree to cooperate with and assist Resortifi in good faith, and to provide any information we request, and to take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Resortifi with respect to any investigation undertaken by Resortifi regarding any Dispute
Members agree to take reasonable steps to participate in and to reasonably cooperate with mediation or similar dispute resolution processes conducted by Resortifi or a third party selected by Resortifi or its insurer, with respect to losses for which a Member is requesting payment from Resortifi under these Terms.
Resortifi Role
We work hard to ensure Members have great experiences using the Resortifi Platform, but we do not and cannot control the conduct of Members. You acknowledge that Resortifi has the right, but does not have any obligation, to monitor the use of the Resortifi Platform and verify Content. For example, we may review, disable access to, remove, or edit Content to (i) operate, secure and improve the Resortifi Platform (including for fraud prevention, risk assessment, investigation and customer support purposes), (ii) ensure Members’ compliance with these Terms, (iii) comply with Applicable Law, (iv) address Content that we determine violates these Terms, (v) take actions set out in these Terms, and (vi) maintain and enforce any quality or eligibility criteria, including by removing Listings that don’t meet quality and eligibility criteria.
You acknowledge and agree that Resortifi administers its policies, standards, and guidelines, including decisions about whether and how to apply them to a particular situation, at its sole discretion.
Disclaimer of Warranties
We provide the Resortifi Platform and all Content “as is” without warranty of any kind and we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied. For example: (i) we do not endorse or warrant the existence, conduct, performance, safety, quality, legality or suitability of any Guest, Host, Pool, Listing, Host offering, or third party, (ii) we do not warrant the performance or non-interruption of the Resortifi Platform, and (iii) we do not warrant that verification, identity or background checks conducted on Listings or Members (if any) will identify past misconduct or prevent future misconduct. Any references to a Member or Listing being "verified" (or similar language) indicate only that the Member or Listing or Resortifi has completed a relevant verification or identification process and nothing else. The disclaimers in these Terms apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. If you have statutory rights or warranties we cannot disclaim, the duration of any such statutorily required rights or warranties will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Limitations on Liability
Neither Resortifi (including its affiliates and personnel) nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Resortifi Platform or any content will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute products or services, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with (i) these Terms, (ii) the use of or inability to use the Resortifi Platform or any Content, (iii) any communications, interactions or meetings you may have with someone you interact or meet with through, or as a result of, your use of the Resortifi Platform, or (iv) publishing or booking of a Listing, including the provision or use of a Pool, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not Resortifi has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set out in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose.
Except for our obligation to transmit payments to Hosts under these Terms, in no event will Resortifi’s aggregate liability for any claim or dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms, your interaction with any Members, or your use of or inability to use the Resortifi Platform, any Content, or any Host Service, exceed:
to Guests, the amount you paid as a Guest during the 12-month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability;
to Hosts, the amount paid to you as a Host in the 12-month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability; or
to anyone else, one hundred U.S. dollars ($100.00).
These limitations of liability and damages are fundamental elements of the agreement between you and Resortifi. If applicable law does not allow the limitations of liability set out in these Terms, the above limitations may not apply to you.
Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to release, defend (at Resortifi’s option), indemnify, and hold Resortifi (including its affiliates and their personnel) harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (i) your breach of these Terms, (ii) your violation of another Resortifi policy, standard, rule, or guideline, (iii) your improper use of the Resortifi Platform, (iii) your interaction with any Member or provision or use of a Pool, including without limitation any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction, provision or use, (iv) your failure, or our failure at your direction, to accurately report, collect or remit Taxes, or (v) your breach of Applicable Law.

Where the word “will” is used in these Terms it connotes an obligation with the same meaning as “shall.”

Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise permitted under law.

Property damage claims.A Host may claim that a Guest damaged a Pool during a Booking (a “Damage Claim”). The Host may seek payment for a Damage Claim from the Guest through the Resortifi Platform. A Host may escalate the Damage Claim to Resortifi if the Host and the Guest are unable to resolve the claim. If a Host escalates a Damage Claim to Resortifi, the Host must provide Resortifi with the Booking information, a description of the damage, and evidence to support the Damage Claim (such as photographs). After a Host escalates a Damage Claim to Resortifi, the Guest will be given notice and an opportunity to respond. Resortifi may, in its sole discretion, resolve a Damage Claim in favor of a Guest or Host. If Resortifi resolves a Damage Claim in favor of a Host, Resortifi will collect costs from the Guest’s Payment Method under these Terms. Resortifi reserves the right to collect payment from a Guest in situations in which Resortifi has determined, in its sole discretion, that a Guest has damaged a Pool or other Host property. You agree that Resortifi may seek to recover from you under any insurance policies you maintain and that Resortifi may also pursue against you any remedies it may have available under Applicable Law. You agree to cooperate in good faith, provide any information Resortifi requests, execute documents, and take further reasonable action, in connection with Damage Claims.
