Welcome to Wanderlust! These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of our platform. By accessing or using the Wanderlust website, mobile application, or services, you agree to these Terms. Please review them carefully.

2. Definitions

In these Terms:

  • "Platform" refers to Wanderlust’s website, mobile app, and associated services.
  • "Host" refers to anyone who lists their property on Wanderlust.
  • "Guest" refers to anyone who books a property through Wanderlust.
  • "Property" refers to accommodations listed by Hosts on the platform.
3. Account Registration

To use certain features of the Platform, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information to keep it accurate. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activities conducted under your account.

4. Listing and Modification

You agree to list your property on the Platform in a way that accurately reflects the property's location, amenities, and pricing. You are responsible for ensuring that your listing is up-to-date and remains accurate. Wanderlust may modify or remove your listing at any time, without prior notice, if the property is no longer available or is no longer suitable for rental.

5. Availability and Pricing

Wanderlust provides a flexible booking system that allows Guests to book properties for a specified number of nights and a specified number of guests. Guests can book properties with a minimum of 1 night and a maximum of 7 nights. Pricing is determined by the Host and may vary based on factors such as property location, amenities, and guest preferences. Wanderlust may offer special discounts or promotions to Guests during peak seasons or during certain events.

6. Security

Wanderlust takes all necessary measures to protect your account and property information. We use strong, unique encryption algorithms to protect your data. However, please be aware that no security system is foolproof, and we cannot guarantee that your account and property information will remain secure in the event of a breach.

7. Booking and Payment

When Guests book a property, they are entering into a legal agreement with the Host. Wanderlust acts solely as an intermediary and is not responsible for the properties listed. Payment processing is handled by third-party providers, and service fees may apply. Bookings are confirmed upon receipt of payment.

8. Property Cancellation and Refunds

Guests may cancel their bookings at any time, with or without notice, provided that the cancellation occurs within 24 hours of the booking. If a Guest cancels their booking, they will be charged a cancellation fee of 10% of the total booking price. Wanderlust will issue a full refund to the Guest within 72 hours of the cancellation. If a Guest cancels their booking after 24 hours, they will be charged a cancellation fee of 20% of the total booking price. Wanderlust will issue a partial refund to the Guest within 48 hours of the cancellation.

9. Host Responsibilities

As a Host, you are responsible for ensuring that your property is as described in the listing, complies with local laws, and is safe for Guests. You are also responsible for addressing any issues that arise during a Guest's stay. All listings must be accurate, including pricing, availability, and amenities.

10. Guest Responsibilities

As a Guest, you agree to follow the Host’s house rules, respect the property, and comply with all applicable laws during your stay. You will be held responsible for any damages to the property caused by you or your invitees.

11. Service Fees

Wanderlust charges service fees to both Hosts and Guests for using the platform. These fees are non-refundable and are displayed at the time of booking or listing. Fees help maintain the platform and cover operational costs.

12. Taxes

Hosts are responsible for determining and fulfilling their tax obligations related to the rental income generated from the platform. Wanderlust may provide tax documentation as required but is not responsible for withholding or remitting taxes on behalf of the Hosts.

  • Discriminate against other users based on race, religion, nationality, disability, or any other protected category.
14. Dispute Resolution

In the event of a dispute between Guests and Hosts, Wanderlust may facilitate communication but is not responsible for resolving conflicts. We recommend that both parties attempt to resolve disputes amicably before pursuing further action. In cases where mediation is required, each party is responsible for its own legal costs.

In no event shall Wanderlust, its affiliates, or its subsidiaries, officers, employees, agents, or contractors be liable for any damages, losses, or injuries, including, without limitation, any direct, indirect, punitive, special, incidental, or consequential damages, arising out of or related to the Platform, your use of the Platform, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights. This limitation of liability shall apply to the extent permitted by law, and you acknowledge that you have the right to seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree that any disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Platform will be resolved in Santa Clara County, California, by a court of competent jurisdiction.
