About Coast 2 Coast and EMERALD KITE - Overview

Coast 2 Coast is a multi-faceted company in the vacation rental arena, assisting customers of all types, ranging from private owners of vacation properties for rent to property management companies (often times referred to as our “third party affiliates” or “Independent Affiliates”) in the rental of their listings around the country and the world, as well as assisting customers in a comprehensive array of vacation related services such as the booking of car rentals, obtaining travelers insurance, and securing hotel reservations.

As such, Coast 2 Coast is not necessarily the exclusive creator and owner of all the content, properties, and services created and offered through this Website or our Services by certain third parties; therefore, the actual contract or agreement for purchase of any of the offerings and services available from us is essentially between the third party renters/sellers/providers and users/buyers such as you and their agreement with you and their terms and conditions, and the like, will be binding on you and control as applicable.

Therefore, when contracting with such third party entities/persons, you must be careful to read and understand their terms and conditions, etc. Also, as a result, we must provide for the various Terms and Conditions provided in this User Agreement. While we may in some cases help facilitate the resolution of disputes that you may have with our Independent Affiliates (or other third parties) through various programs, Coast 2 Coast has no obligation to do so, no control over such, and does not guarantee the existence, quality, safety, or legality of anything offered and/or provided by such third parties utilizing this Website or our Services.

Coast 2 Coast is Not a Party to Any Rental Agreement or Other Transactions Between Users of this Website - Users, Members, and Travelers Responsibilities and Risks

Users must be responsible about their use of this Website and any transaction entered into as a result of either listing a property or renting a property. Coast 2 Coast does not own or manage, nor can we contract for, any rental properties listed on this Website. We merely act as a venue to allow homeowners and property managers who advertise on the Website ( “member(s)” or “Member(s)”, which may also include property owners or managers who originally advertised their properties on another site and their listings have been redistributed on this Website) to offer for rent a specific vacation or short term rental property to potential renters ( “traveler(s)”) and collectively with a member(s), (“users”) in a variety of pricing formats. We may also offer online bookings or other tools or services to allow users to communicate with each other and enter into rental agreements or other transactions.

Coast 2 Coast acts as a facilitator between users of this Website (such as between homeowners or property managers of properties for rent with customers desiring to rent such properties) in the reservation or booking of rental properties or other products or services, and as such, we are not a party to any rental agreement or other agreement between users and such parties, even if this Website allows you to reserve or book a rental or provides other ancillary products or services. Therefore, any aspect of an actual or potential transaction between a traveler and a member (including the quality, condition, safety, or legality of the properties advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings including the content thereof or any review relating to any property, the ability of members to rent a vacation property, or the ability of travelers to contract for properties) are solely the responsibility of each user and not of Coast to Coast. You acknowledge and agree that you may be required to enter into one or more separate agreements, waivers, or terms and conditions before making a booking or purchasing a product or service and may place additional restrictions on your booking, product, or service.

All users agree to be responsible for, and agree to abide by, all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to your use of this Website, your use of any tool, service, or product offered on the Website, and any transaction entered into on this Website or in connection with your use of this Website.

As a member, you agree to be responsible for and agree to abide by all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to the listing of your rental property and the conduct of your rental business, including (without limitation) all laws, rules, regulations, or other requirements relating to taxes, credit cards, data and privacy, taxes, permits or license requirements, zoning ordinances, safety compliance and compliance with all anti-discrimination and fair housing laws (as applicable). Although we are not a party to any rental transaction, nor assume any liability for legal or regulatory compliance pertaining to rental properties listed on this Website, there may be instances in which we are legally obligated (as we may determine in our sole discretion) to provide information relating to your listing to comply with government authorities relating to investigations, litigation, or administrative proceedings, and we may choose to comply with or disregard such obligation in our sole discretion. Members who accept credit card, banking, or other payment information from users or travelers agree to properly handle, secure, and safeguard all such information in accordance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements and industry best practices.

Although most travel is completed without a serious incident, issue, or problem, travel to some destinations may involve more risk or issues than other destinations. Travelers are encouraged to research the destination that they desire to visit and to review travel advisories, prohibitions, warnings, and announcements including those issued by the United States Government or other authorities before making a reservation or booking. Although there are many resources to obtain relevant information, the following sites are among those that may post information helpful to you: www.state.gov; www.tsa.gov; www.dot.go; www.faa.gov; www.cdc.gov; www.treas.gov/ofac; and www.customs.gov.

As a courtesy to our customers and users, we do take certain measures and actions to help users of this Website and our Services avoid potentially fraudulent or other illegal activity of which we become aware, but we assume no liability, responsibility, or obligation to employ or maintain any such measures or actions. While we may provide messages or warnings to users about any such activity, we do not warrant or guarantee that such messages or warnings are accurate or that such will reach all users with a possible need to know in a timely manner or at all or that such messages or measures will prevent any damage, harm, or injury, or otherwise.

Privacy Policy - Your Personal Information and Data Transmission; Identity Verification; Use of Users’ Information

Personal Information and Data Transmission

When you provide your email address, name, or other information to us in connection with your use or access to this Website or our Services, any service or tool provided on the Website or otherwise, you agree to allow the Website (including any of our affiliated websites) to add your email address, name, or other information provided to our database of users. You may receive one or more promotional emails from either us or our Website. You may opt out to receiving such promotional emails from us or our website at any time. Please review our Privacy Policy for more information regarding our email and other data collection practices and safeguards, and how to opt out to receiving such emails. Your use of the website signifies your acknowledgment of, and agreement with, our Privacy Policy.

Each user acknowledges and agrees that, regardless of such user's physical location, we may store and process any data transmitted to the website from such user at locations both within and outside of the United States.

If you use any of our tools that we may periodically offer that integrate in any way with a third party site to which you have provided data or information, you acknowledge and agree that such third party website (and not Coast 2 Coast) shall be responsible for how the data or information you have provided to such website is handled.

User Verification

User verification on the Internet is difficult and we cannot, and do not, assume any liability or responsibility for the confirmation of each user’s purported identity. We encourage you to communicate directly with a traveler or member through the tools available on the Website, although this does not assure you of the identity of the person with whom you are communicating. We encourage you to take other reasonable measures to assure yourself of the other person's identity and, for travelers, of the property and relevant details of your booking or proposed booking.

You agree to (a) keep your password and online ID for both your account with us and your email account secure and strictly confidential, providing it only to authorized users of your accounts, (b) instruct each person to whom you give your online ID and password that he or she is not to disclose it to any unauthorized person, (c) notify us immediately and select a new online ID and password if you believe your password for either your account with us or your email account may have become known to an unauthorized person, and (d) notify us immediately in writing if you are contacted by anyone requesting your online ID and password. If we suspect any unauthorized access to your account, upon our request, you agree to promptly change your ID and password and take any other related action as we may reasonably request.

Because of the inherent risks, we discourage you from giving anyone access to your online ID and password for your account with us and your email account. However, if you do give someone your online ID and online password, or if you fail to adequately safeguard such information, you are responsible for any and all transactions that the person performs while using your account with us or your email account, even those transactions that are fraudulent or that you did not intend or want performed.

EACH USER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT: (1) NEITHER COAST 2 COAST NOR ANY OF OUR INDEPENDENT AFFILIATES WILL HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY TO ANY USER FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTION MADE USING ANY USER'S ID OR PASSWORD; AND (2) THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OF YOUR ONLINE ID AND PASSWORD FOR YOUR COAST 2 COAST ACCOUNT OR YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT COULD CAUSE YOU TO INCUR RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY TO BOTH COAST 2 COAST AND OTHER USERS. Also, without notice to you, we may suspend or cancel your listing at any time even without receiving notice from you if we suspect (in our sole discretion) that your account with us or your email account is being used in an unauthorized or fraudulent manner.

Use of Other Users' Information

Regarding other users’ personal information that you obtain directly or indirectly from or through this website or through any website-related communication, transaction, or software, you agree that we have granted you a license to use such information only for: (a) Site-related communications that are not unsolicited commercial messages, (b) using services offered through the website, and (c) inquiring about or otherwise facilitating a financial transaction between you and the other user related to the purpose of the website (such as inquiring about or booking an online booking or charging a personal credit card). Any other purpose will require express permission from the user. You may not use any such information for any unlawful purpose or with any unlawful intent.

You must give users in all cases an opportunity to remove their information from your address book or database or other records and a chance to review what information you have collected about them. In addition, under no circumstances except as specifically provided in this provision, may you disclose personal information about another user to any third party without both our express written consent and the consent of the other user. You agree that other users may use your personal information to communicate with you in accordance with this provision. You agree that you will protect other users' personal information with the same degree of care that you protect your own confidential information (using at least a reasonable standard of care), and you assume all responsibility and liability for the misuse, loss, or unauthorized transfer of such information.

Spam or unsolicited commercial electronic communications of any kind are not tolerated. Therefore, without limiting the foregoing, you are not licensed to add a website user (including any user who has rented a vacation property from you or to you) to your mailing list (email or physical mail) without the user’s express consent. You may not use any tool or service on the website to send spam or unsolicited commercial electronic communications of any kind or in any other way that would violate these Terms and Conditions. You are responsible for all content that you provide to the website or through any tool or service provided on this website.

Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Online Booking

In addition to being bound by the other Terms and Conditions, Users and Members who use any Service or tool provided by us (or a third party provider including our Independent Affiliate) on our Website enabling users to book and/or pay for the rental of properties online on one or more of our Websites (collectively, the “Booking Services”) are also bound by the following terms, which are in addition to any other terms applicable in connection with using our Website. In addition, if such Booking Services include payment or other services provided by a third party provider, such services are subject to the additional terms and conditions and privacy policies of such third party providers.

By utilizing a rental agreement or otherwise displaying terms relating to the rental as part of the online booking process (including such terms that we may require), the user (as “Guest”) and member (as “Owner”) each agree to the terms and conditions set forth in the rental agreement or other such terms displayed in the booking process (including, without limitation, the cancellation refund policy) effective as of the date that the user indicates acceptance of the booking or rental agreement, as applicable. You hereby acknowledge and agree that: (a) you are fully responsible for such terms and conditions, (b) any rental agreement used (or other online booking tool on the Site) by either party, is used solely at their own risk and expense, (c) nothing contained in the Booking Services or any sample rental agreement is a substitute for the advice of an attorney, and (d) that you have been hereby advised to obtain local legal counsel to prepare, review and revise as necessary any rental agreements to ensure compliance with federal, state, and local law and their particular circumstances, and to revise the rental agreement as necessary to accurately represent their property, rules, features, etc.

Terms Applicable to Use of Booking Services or Third Party Online Booking Services

There are some Members, typically property managers, who use software provided by Coast 2 Coast or any third parties (including our Independent Affiliate). Such software (“Other Booking Services”) may be governed by terms provided by the third parties or Members making such Other Booking Services available. Users who use such Third Party Booking Services are responsible for complying with such terms in addition to our Terms, including (without limitation) the following.

Members further acknowledge and agree that they will choose the plan level with the appropriate level of coverage needed for each property and that they will offer that same plan level to all Users agreeing to rent this property.

Cancellation Protection

By utilizing and/or purchasing Cancellation Protection, you agree to the terms and conditions under the plan and acknowledge that User understands that certain policy restrictions apply.

Protection of and Responsibility for Property, and Traveler Liability

We do not provide liability insurance protection for owners, property managers, or travelers; regardless of whether a user obtains insurance coverage through one of our third party providers. Users are solely responsible for obtaining insurance coverage sufficient to protect their properties and guests or their trip, as applicable. Members agree that they have or will obtain the appropriate insurance coverage sufficient to cover the rental of the properties that they list on the Website prior to the arrival of their first traveler and will maintain adequate insurance coverage through the departure date of any traveler they have obtained via one of our Website. Further, Members agree to provide us with copies of relevant proof of coverage upon request.

Additional Terms Applicable To Members Posting Rentals On Our Website or Independent Affiliates’ Websites.

In addition to being bound by these Terms and Conditions, members who purchase subscriptions to advertise a property on the Website are also bound by the following terms, which are in addition to any other terms agreed to in connection with purchasing or renewing a subscription.

Eligibility of Members; Accuracy of Information; Representations of Members

Our Services may only be used by members who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. If you are registering as a business entity, then you represent that you have the authority to bind the entity to these Terms. Each member represents and covenants that all information submitted to us and to the Site during such member's registration with the Site shall be true and correct. Each member further agrees to promptly provide notice to the Website by contacting us as provided in this User Agreement regarding any updates to any such contact information previously submitted by such member to the Site. Each member agrees to promptly provide such proof of personal identification, proof of ownership of the property listed on the Site, and proof of authority to list the property as we may request.

Each member further represents and covenants that: (i) it owns and/or has all necessary rights and authority to offer for rent and to rent the property listed by such member; (ii) it will not wrongfully withhold a rental deposit in breach of the underlying rental agreement; (iii) that it will accurately describe the subject rental property, will not fail to disclose a material defect in, or material information about, a rental property and will upon request, or otherwise from time to time, review the property listing content and location or geographic description to ensure it is accurate and not misleading; (iv) that it will not wrongfully deny access to the listed property; and (v) that it will not fail to provide a refund when due in accordance with the applicable cancellation policy or underlying rental agreement. Upon our request, each member agrees to promptly provide to us such proof of personal identification, proof that the condition, location, or amenities associated with the property are accurately described in the listing, proof of ownership of the property listed on the Site, and/or proof of authority to list the property as we may request.

Listing Appearance, Content and Layout

We cannot guarantee that your property listing will appear in any specific order in search results on our Website or other sites and the order will fluctuate based on a variety of factors such as search parameters or other factors as we define from time to time, such as the quality of a listing and how frequently a calendar is updated. Members who purchase the right to advertise their property within a certain tier, will have their properties appear within the tier they purchased, however the specific spot within the tier may also vary depending on a variety of factors. Property listing appearance or order in any particular search result may also vary depending on the search criteria used and whether the Listing has certain criteria, such as whether the listing has an updated calendar. Listings placed on a non-subscription basis, such as pay-per-booking, may not always appear in search results in any particular tier or at all. Listings distributed on third party sites are not guaranteed to display on such third party site in any particular order or at all.

All content and copy edits submitted by members are subject to review and approval by us (in our sole discretion). We reserve the right to refuse to publish any content that we determine (in our sole discretion) does not meet these Terms or is otherwise unacceptable to us. However, we assume no obligation or duty to review content, and we shall not have any liability for any loss or damage resulting from the design or positioning of the copy, properties, content and/or photographs or any change made to any content, photograph or copy submitted by any member. All content must meet these Terms and our content guidelines and requirements. We reserve the right to edit content submitted to our Website in a non-substantive manner solely to cause the content to comply with our content guidelines or formatting requirements. Members are responsible for reviewing and ensuring that any content displayed on the Website appears as the member intended.

Images and Photographs

Images and photographs (“images”) should depict the vacation rental as the main subject of the images and may not include children or adults if you do not have their legal consent or any information that would violate the privacy rights, intellectual property rights, or any other rights of a third party. Photographs must meet our content guidelines and requirements. We reserve the right not to display or to remove any images that we determine (in our sole discretion) do not meet these Terms or are otherwise unacceptable to us.

By submitting an image to us, the member represents and warrants that: (a) it holds all intellectual property rights with respect to each submitted photograph or it has secured from the copyright holder all rights necessary for the image to be used in an online advertisement, (b) any people in the image have given permission for their likeness to be displayed in an online advertisement on the Site, (c) the image accurately and fairly represents the subject of the image and has not been altered in any manner that would mislead a viewer of that image, and (d) it will indemnify and hold harmless Coast 2 Coast and our Independent Affiliates from any cause of action arising from any misrepresentation with respect to any and all images so submitted.

It is the member's responsibility to obtain reproduction permission for all photographic and other material used in its listings. The member warrants that it is the owner of the copyright in such material or is authorized by the owner thereof to grant to us the rights therein contained and agrees to provide any proof of such rights to us that we may request.

Further, each member agrees that we may reproduce in whole or in part any photographic material supplied by such member in the promotion of either such member's property or the promotion of the Site.

Advertising More Than One Property; Substituting Properties; Property Managers

Each listing must relate to an individual and uniquely identified property, unless (i) you are a property manager who has signed up for one of our packages for members who are property managers, or (ii) you otherwise purchased a listing package that expressly allows for substitution of properties. This means that:

(a) The property in a listing may not be substituted for another property without our consent. We may approve a request in our discretion if the property manager’s contract for the property was terminated and the member provides sufficient proof, as requested by us, and completes any additional request forms we may request. The term of the subscription for any substituted property shall be the same as the term of the originally listed property (i.e., the term will not be extended past the original term).

If a member submits changes to an existing listing that, if approved, would substantially alter the listing to make it that of another property, then we have the right to terminate the listing and may choose, in our sole discretion, to retain any fees associated with the term of the previously existing listing as compensation for the violation of this condition.

(b) The listing specifically cannot be a mere example of properties in a given area. Only one property can appear on each listing, unless it is a property with multiple rental units on the same site and additional advertising units are purchased. We reserve the right to amend the copy or remove any listing when more than one property is described in such listing, and may choose, in our sole discretion to retain any fees associated with the initial term of such non-conforming listing as compensation for the violation of this condition.

(c) Members who manage twenty or more properties should contact Coast 2 Coast for Property Managers at (888) 581-1849 to discuss the packages that may best suit their needs. All other subscription listing packages require one subscription per listing (one subscription per property). Contact Coast 2 Coast for Property Managers for additional information.

Unauthorized Payment Methods; Subscription Payments; Automatic Renewal of Subscription Payments

Payments between members and travelers: We are not a party to any payment transaction between members and travelers, even if we receive a commission in connection with any payment transaction. No member may request any traveler to mail cash, or utilize any instant-cash wire transfer service such as Western Union or MoneyGram in payment for all or part of a property rental transaction. Any violation of this term or any other unacceptable payment methods that may be posted on the Site may result in the immediate removal of the non-conforming listing from the Site without notice to the member and without refund. From time to time, we may become aware of users attempting to conduct a transaction that would involve an unauthorized payment method or a fraudulent payment method. Ideally, we hope to be able to assist users in avoiding such transactions, but we assume no liability or responsibility to do so or to inform users of any such actual or suspected activity.

Payments for subscriptions: Payment for subscription listings must be made to us in U.S. Dollars paid either by major credit or debit card, or a check drawn on a U.S. bank.

Automatic renewal of subscriptions: For any subscription paid for by credit card, such subscription shall automatically renew at the expiration of the then-current term for an additional term of the same duration (as the previous term) and at the then-current non-promotional subscription rate. If such subscription was purchased by check or another form of payment other than by credit card (if such other payment form was permitted), such subscription shall not be automatically renewed. Automatic renewal applies to all subscriptions purchased by credit card. The automatic renewal feature allows your service to remain uninterrupted at the expiration of your then-current term. If you wish to turn off auto-renewal, you must log on to your account and manually turn off auto-renewal in your owner dashboard at least 5 days prior to expiration of the then-current term. Upon any such turning off auto-renewal, your subscription will remain active through the expiration of your then-current subscription term; however your subscription will not be automatically renewed upon the expiration of your then current term. If your subscription does not auto-renew or expires at the end of your then current subscription term and you desire to renew your subscription, you will be required to pay the then-current non-promotional subscription rate to renew your subscription or to activate a new subscription.

If you do not advise us in writing and/or you continue to use our subscription service, you re-affirm and authorize us to charge your credit card at the end of each subscription term for an additional term of the same duration as the initial term and at the then-current non-promotional subscription rate for the same product or service.

If the product or service that you last purchased has changed in any way or is no longer offered, you agree and authorize us to charge your credit card at the renewal of your subscription term for a product or service that is the most similar, as determined by us, to the product or service that you previously purchased, even if the price of such product or service is not the same of the prior product or service that you purchased. You agree to be responsible for any such charges, and we reserve the right to obtain payment directly from you if necessary.

If you wish to avoid billing of subscription fees for the renewal term to your credit card, you must turn off auto-renewal for your subscription at least 5 days before it renews. If you wish to change your credit card to be charged or if your credit card information otherwise changes, then you must advise asap.

Non-Subscription Listings

If a Site enables you to list your property on a basis other than by subscription, you agree to pay us compensation as described to you in the sign up process for each rental of the property displayed in such listing, which terms may be updated by us from time to time without notice by us displaying the terms on the Site on which you signed up for the listing. The sign up process and additional notices you may receive from us may also provide additional terms and conditions for such listings.

Subscription Term, Refund Requests and Termination or Transfer of Listings

Subscription Term: All subscription listings are sold to run the full term that is chosen by the member. The term starts on the date that the member submits the full or initial (as applicable) payment and expires on the last date of the term chosen by the member. For example, for an annual subscription term, if the member submits payment for the subscription on July 1st, the subscription would expire on June 30 of the following year.

Refund Requests: Generally, no refunds are available unless a member qualifies for a refund under any guarantee program we may have in effect. If you believe you qualify for a refund under a guarantee we are offering, you may contact customer support by sending your request to the address listed under “General - Contact Us” above and include your listing number, and your reason for dissatisfaction. We will then determine, in accordance with the applicable guarantee program, whether any refund is due.

Refund Requests for Subscription Listings Not Completed: In the event you purchase a subscription for a listing but do not complete the creation of the listing or the listing does not get posted after purchase for any other reason, refund requests will be considered only during the first three (3) months following the purchase date. If within such three (3) month period you do not complete the creation of your listing as we may require to display such listing on the Site (i) you shall not be entitled to any refund and (ii) your subscription will expire no more than 15 months from the purchase date of the subscription regardless of the listing posting date.

If you renew your subscription, or if your subscription automatically renews under its terms of your subscription, your listing will remain online for the entire subscription period without refund. If you sell your property and no longer wish for the listing to remain online, please contact us and we can remove the listing; however, no refund will be owed.

Our Right to Terminate a Listing: If, in our sole discretion, any member submits unsuitable material to our Site or into our database, misuses the Site or our online system or is in material breach of these Terms, we reserve the right to terminate such member's subscription(s) immediately without refund. In addition, if we become aware of or receive a complaint or a series of complaints from any user or other third party regarding a member's listing or rental practices that, in our sole discretion, warrants the immediate removal of such member's listing from the Site (for example, and without limitation, if a member double-books a property for multiple travelers on the same date, or engages in any practice that, in our sole discretion, would be considered deceptive, unfair or improper within the vacation rental industry or in an online marketplace for vacation rentals, if we determine or suspect that the member's payment-related practices or procedures are not secure, legal or otherwise proper, or if we receive a complaint that any listing's content infringes on the rights of a third party), then we may immediately terminate such member's listing(s) or subscription(s) without notice to the member and without refund. We assume no duty to investigate complaints. Finally, if any member is abusive or offensive to any employee or representative of the Coast 2 Coast Group, we reserve the right to terminate such member's listing(s) or subscription(s) immediately without refund. Finally, if any member is in breach of these Terms or its obligations to us or any of our third party providers then we may terminate such member's subscription(s) immediately without notice to the member and without refund.

Transfer of Listing to a Third Party: No listing may be transferred to another party. In the event of a property sale, Coast 2 Coast will provide guidance to both seller and buyer regarding options for creating a new listing.

Cancellation policies are required for all pay-per-booking listings, and requirements for such cancellation policies shall be displayed through the List Your Property tab of the Site offering the pay-per-booking listing. To the fullest extent legally permissible, Members who list their properties in a pay-per-booking listing, agree to rent such properties through such listing and not through any other means.
