TERMS AND CONDITIONS
OVERVIEW

OUR PLATFORM
Our Platform are used to facilitate the listing and booking of Host’s Space for use as required by Guests. Spaces are offered as Listings on the Platform by Hosts. If you wish to book a Space or create a Listing, you must register to create a Bizcnd Account.
For the avoidance of doubt, Bizcnd is not an owner or operator of the Space offered, and Bizcnd does not own, sell, resell, furnish, provide, rent, manage and/or control the Space. Unless explicitly specified otherwise in the Bizcnd platform, Bizcnd’s responsibilities are limited to: (i) facilitating the availability of the Services and (ii) accepting payments from Guests on behalf of the Hosts.
Bizcnd cannot and does not control the content in any Listings and the condition, legality or suitability of any Space listed. Bizcnd is not responsible for and disclaims any and all liability related to any and all Listings and Space offered. Accordingly, any bookings will be made at the Guest’s own risk.
OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU
In providing the Services, we are not acting as an agent for any Host or Guest. We do not provide real estate services or make any endorsements or recommendations regarding the Space, Hosts and Guests appearing on the Platform. Nothing we do on this Platform constitutes any form of specialist advice, whether property, legal, financial or otherwise. You must seek your own professional advice where appropriate.
We provide the Platform, allowing Guests and Hosts to connect and enter into an Access Arrangement directly with each other and to facilitate payment of Access Fees by a Guest to a Host in respect to a Space. Our relationship with you is as a service provider of online services.

SPACE LISTINGS
When listing a Space, you will be asked a variety of questions about the Space to be listed, including, but not limited to the location, size, amenities, availability, pricing and any related rules and financial terms.
Listings will be made publicly available via our Platform. Guests will be able to book your Space based upon the information provided in your Listing. Once a Guest requests a booking of your Space, you may not request the Guest to pay a higher price than in the booking requested.
For the avoidance of doubt, Bizcnd may choose to reject a Listing at its own discretion and for any reason, which need not be disclosed to you. You acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permissible by law, Bizcnd shall not be liable for any loss incurred by you in connection with a rejected Listing.
You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for any and all Listings you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Listing you post and the booking of, or a Guest’s access to, a Space in a Listing you post (1) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, lease or rental agreements, and (2) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws, tax requirements, rules and regulations that may apply to any Space included in a Listing you post, and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties.
Bizcnd assumes no responsibility for a Host’s compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations. We reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Listing for any reason, including Listings that Bizcnd, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms, or otherwise harmful to the Platform.
RESPONSIBILITY AS HOST
A Host is solely responsible for making available any Space booked through our Platform. The Host must complete the Host Terms applying to the Space including the date from which the Space is available, the end date of the Access Period, the Access Fee payable and any other terms and conditions applying to the access by a Guest to the Space. In the event that anything in the Host Terms is inconsistent with these Terms, these Terms will take precedence to the extent of the inconsistency.
If you are a Host, you must make your own enquiries and satisfy yourself as to whether the Guest is suitable to use the Space. We do not in any way endorse any person or organisation as a suitable Guest.
If you have agreed to make the Space available to a Guest, you are responsible for ensuring all the conditions and restrictions relating to the Guest’s licence to use the Space are included in the Host Terms and that the Guest is aware of these. You must comply with the terms and conditions of the Access Arrangement. As Bizcnd is not a party to the Access Arrangement, we disclaim all liability arising from or related to any such agreement.
Where you have entered into an Access Arrangement with the Guest, you must provide the Guest with access and utilisation of the Space for the Access Period, subject to the payment of the Access Fee. You must keep the Space and the Property clean and if you have agreed to provide any facilities and equipment to the Guest, the facilities and equipment must be maintained in good repair and working order. If there are any restrictions on the ability of the Guest to access the Space at any time, you must let them know in the Host Terms before the Access Arrangement is entered into and if the restriction is not known at that time, as soon as you become aware of the restriction.
As a Host, it is your responsibility to ensure that (1) the Space is a safe environment and suitable for the purposes which the Guest intends to use the Space; (2) the Space complies with all health and safety laws and regulations applying to the Property; (3) you are legally entitled to licence the Space to the Guest; (3) you comply with the terms of any lease or licence to which you are a party relating to your occupation of the Property; (4) all necessary approvals and permits have been obtained in relation to the occupation and activities conducted at the Property and the Space.
You must maintain adequate insurance in respect to the Property and the Space to cover any risk of injury or loss to the Guest or invitees of the Guest and to cover the potential of loss or damage caused by the Guest or invitees of the Guest.
RESPONSIBILITY AS GUEST
By entering into an Access Arrangement with the Host in respect to the Space, the Host is granting you a limited licence to enter and use the Space for the limited duration of the Access Period. These Terms, the Host Terms and any additional terms and conditions imposed by the Host apply to the licence and you agree to comply with those terms and conditions. Any such licence and agreement is between you and the Host. We do not make any representation as to the terms of any such agreement. You should seek independent advice before you enter into the Access Arrangement with the Host.
You acknowledge that the Host may be occupying the Property in which the Space is located, as a tenant under a licence or lease with a third party. You must at all times comply with the terms of the licence and/or lease and with the reasonable directions of the Host and that third party. As a Guest, it is your responsibility to ensure that the Space is suitable for your requirements and purposes.
Where the Host provides you with keys and security access devices or any other materials, you must keep them safe and ensure they are not used by any other person without the consent of the Host. The Host can impose any conditions and restrictions on access to the Space and you should ascertain from the Host whether there are any restrictions on access to the Space prior to entering into the Access Arrangement, for example on public holidays, weekends and after hours.
You must ensure your occupation and use of the Space does not adversely impact or cause disruption to the Host, any other occupant of the Property or any neighbouring properties, including ensuring you do not make excessive noise or obstruct access to the Property.
You are responsible for any loss or damage caused by you or by any person you invite or otherwise provide access to the Space. In the event that you have damaged the Property and/or the Space, you agree to pay the cost of repairing the damage and replacing any damaged items. You will also be liable for any loss suffered by the Host as a result of the damage caused.
You must maintain the Space in the same condition it was in when you arrived including ensuring the Space is clean and your possessions are removed. It is your responsibility to keep safe and insure any possessions you take to or leave at the Space.
You must vacate the Space at the end of the Access Period no later than the time and day specified in the Host Terms or such other time as mutually agreed between the Host and Guest in writing (“End Date”). Your licence to occupy the Space expires on the End Date unless it is terminated earlier by the Host, for example if you fail to comply with the Access Arrangement or if your use of the Space becomes unsafe for any reason. If you fail to vacate the Space by the End Date, you will be liable to pay additional Access Fees until such time as you vacate the Space and remove your possessions.
The Host is entitled to remove and dispose of possessions remaining on the Property after the End Date and is entitled to charge you for the costs of doing so as well as the costs of repairing and/or cleaning the Space if you damage it or don’t leave it in a clean condition. You must return all keys and security access devices to the Host prior to the End Date. The Host will be entitled to charge you for any keys and security access devices which are not returned in working order.
You authorise Bizcnd to charge the credit card or other payment methods you provide for payment of any Access Fee and for any additional amounts payable under the Access Arrangement.
DAMAGE TO SPACES
As a Guest, you are responsible for leaving the Space in the condition it was in when you arrived. You acknowledge and agree that, as a Guest, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals whom you invite to, or otherwise provide access to, the Space.
In the event that a Host provides evidence of damage you hereby agree to pay the cost of replacing/repairing those damaged items. For the avoidance of doubt, Bizcnd shall have no liability in respect of any damage costs required to be paid by the Guest.
Any necessary payment will be charged to and taken from the credit card on file in your Bizcnd Account. We also reserves the right to charge the credit card on file in your Bizcnd Account, or otherwise collect payment from you. If we are unable to charge the credit card on file or otherwise collect payment from you, you agree to remit payment for any damage to the Space to the applicable Host or to Bizcnd (if applicable).
Both Guests and Hosts agree to cooperate with and assist Bizcnd in good faith, and to provide Bizcnd with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Bizcnd, in connection with any complaints or claims made by Guests relating to Host’s Space.
BOOKING CANCELLATION
All confirmed bookings are final and non-refundable. However if a Host fails to deliver a confirmed booking, Bizcnd will refund the Access Fees for such booking to the applicable Guest within a reasonable time of the cancellation.
If, as a Host, you cancel or fail to deliver a confirmed booking, Bizcnd may apply penalties to you or your Listing, including (i) publishing an automated review on your Listing indicating that a reservation was cancelled, (ii) keeping the calendar for your Listing unavailable or blocked for the dates of the cancelled booking, or (iii) imposing a cancellation fee.
SERVICE FEES
In consideration for the use of Bizcnd Platform, we charge the Service Fees. Bizcnd deducts the Service Fees from the total Access Fees before remitting the balance to the Host. Except as otherwise provided herein, Service Fees are non-refundable.
DUPLICATED BOOKINGS
If you have made a duplicated booking by mistake, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can inform the host. All duplicated bookings will be converted to credits for future bookings, no refund will be issued.
