All guests making reservations through Kuero are required to accept these terms and conditions. In order to complete your reservation, you must enter into this Accommodation Agreement between you and the owner of the Kuero property (the “Accommodation”). Your reservation is not confirmed until you have agreed to and executed this Accommodation Agreement.
This Accommodation Agreement is between the person named on the Booking Confirmation (the “Guest” or “you”) and the owner of the Accommodation (the “Owner”). The Owner is the person who owns the Accommodation or the person who is duly authorized to arrange for the occupancy of the Accommodation. This Accommodation Agreement details the terms and conditions which apply between you and the Owner concerning the use and occupancy of the Accommodation.
You have chosen Kuero as your reservations supplier. Kuero is not the Owner, an agent of the Owner, or an agent of the Guest, and Kuero shall not have any obligations under this Accommodation Agreement. You understand and agree that Kuero is not a party to any agreements between you and the Owner, including this Accommodation Agreement. Kuero is not responsible for the availability or condition of the Accommodation, or for the Owner’s compliance with any statutes, laws, rules, bylaws, regulations and agreements to which the Owner is subject or which relate to the Accommodation or by which the Owner of the Accommodation is bound.
This Accommodation Agreement is a LICENSE TO OCCUPY the Accommodation for your requested dates. THIS IS NOT A LEASE OR TENANCY AGREEMENT, NOR DOES IT CONVEY ANY PROPERTY RIGHTS OR INTEREST IN REAL ESTATE TO THE GUEST. By accepting this Accommodation Agreement, you accept that you are entering into a non-exclusive license to occupy the Accommodation for your requested dates. You acknowledge that you have no right to stay in the Accommodation or occupy any part of the Accommodation after the period outlined in your Booking Confirmation, and have no rights to recurring usage or renewal of the Accommodation. You are not entitled to make any changes to the Accommodation nor can you move or remove any of its furnishings, appliances, fixtures, or other items in or around the Accommodation.
The Accommodation will be booked for your requested dates once you have agreed to the terms and conditions of this Accommodation Agreement and have received a Payment Confirmation by email, collectively, the “Booking Confirmation.” The Owner is not obliged to make this Accommodation available, nor is a binding contract in place, until the Payment Confirmation is sent by email.
Unless otherwise stated in the Booking Confirmation, the terms below will apply.
Service Fee: A 3% service fee is applied only in the event of a cancellation and is calculated based on the total rental cost of the booking. This fee covers administrative costs, credit card charges for the initial payment, and credit card charges for refunding the amount in case of cancellation. The service fee is non-refundable.
Cancellation Penalties: Cancellation penalties can differ broadly from property to property. To cancel your booking, you must provide Kuero with written notice of your cancellation. Generally speaking, cancellation penalties are as follows:
• No fees (except service fee) apply if the reservation is canceled earlier than eight weeks prior to the scheduled arrival date. Any taken deposit is fully refunded.
• 31-60 Days: In case the booking is canceled between 60 and 31 days prior to arrival, 30% of the total accommodation cost is charged as a cancellation fee.
• 01-30 Days: In case the booking is canceled later than 30 days prior to arrival, in case of no-show, or in case of early departure, the total accommodation cost (100%) is charged as a cancellation fee.
Please check at the point of booking for exact cancellation penalties for your rental.
We strongly recommend that you have adequate travel insurance cover for you and your party. This will not only provide cover for you while you are away but will also provide cancellation cover should you, for whatever reason, be forced to cancel your trip.
The Initial Reservation Payment is defined and stated in your Booking Confirmation and is typically 30% of total rent, depending on the type of your Accommodation and the duration of your stay. Kuero reserves the right to charge the Initial Reservation Payment and the Rent Balance, as defined below, summing to 100% of total rent, together with applicable Service Fees. You will be notified of these payments and any additional fees prior to booking.
Payment of the Rent Balance is due at least 30 days in advance of the Check-In Date depending on the Accommodation. If you fail to pay the Rent Balance at least 30 days prior to the Check-In Date, Kuero may consider the reservation cancelled and proceed to offer the Accommodation to other potential guests. The Initial Reservation Payment will not be refunded.
On the Check-In Date, Kuero will pre-authorize and place a hold on your credit card (the “Credit Card Hold”). The security deposit varies by property and the exact amount will be communicated to you on the Booking Confirmation. The Owner will be entitled to make charges against this hold through Kuero in the event of any damage to the Accommodation or its contents, or a violation of rules outlined in Section 4 & 5.
This Credit Card Hold will be released in full under the following conditions after the satisfactory return of the Accommodation and its contents in the same material condition in which they were delivered on the Check-In Date.
Provided that the Accommodation and its contents are returned in satisfactory condition, the Credit Card Hold will be released in full within 5 business days of your scheduled departure date (the “Check-Out Date”). Interest or reimbursement of any currency or transaction fees will not be refunded.
Unless otherwise stated on the Booking Confirmation or agreed upon with Kuero beforehand, Guest check-in will take place at 3:00 PM on the Check-In Date (“Check-In Time”) and your check-out will take place at 11:00 AM on the Check-Out Date (“Check-Out Time”). Check-ins or Check-outs outside of these hours are subject to availability and the written consent of Kuero.
A member of Kuero’s Guest Experience team will meet you at your Accommodation at Check-In Time to: • Deliver the keys • Receive the Security Deposit via credit card (either remotely or in person) • Show you around the Accommodation • Deliver a welcome package containing useful information on the Accommodation, the city, and the neighborhood
A member of Kuero’s Guest Experience team will meet you at your Accommodation at Check-Out Time to inspect the Accommodation, review the inventory, and collect the keys. You will be informed of any missing items or damage to the Accommodation discovered upon inspection at this time. Until the Accommodation and its keys are returned to Kuero’s satisfaction, Check-Out will be deemed not to have occurred and the charges stipulated hereunder shall apply. The Check-Out process generally takes around 30 minutes so please arrange departure plans accordingly.
With the exception of the number of additional overnight guests specified in your Reservation, you shall not allow any person other than those named in your Reservation to occupy the Accommodation at any time past 12:00 PM in the time zone in which the Accommodation is located.
