Welcome to VacationRenter.com. The VacationRenter.com website and any associated mobile and software applications on which these Terms of Service Agreement (“Terms”) are posted (collectively, the "Site") is comprised of various web pages operated by VacationRenter LLC (“VacationRenter,” “us,” “we,” or “our”).

We encourage you to print these Terms or save them to your device or computer for reference.
Disclaimer for Third-Party Information and Third-Party Offers
VacationRenter provides a search engine for locating and comparing vacation rental properties. We do not own, manage, or control the booking of the properties. VacationRenter allows you to create an account to customize your experience and save information, such as your “favorite” listings, but if you select a listing from our Site, we will redirect you to the website of the third party responsible for booking the property. Your use of third-party websites is governed by the terms and conditions and privacy policies of those websites.
VacationRenter makes no representation or warranty regarding any vacation rental property. You agree that your booking and utilization of any property will be governed by your agreement with the owner and/or booking agent for the property. You agree that VacationRenter shall have no liability with respect to your booking, any third-party website, offer, or content, or any utilization of vacation rental properties.
Dispute Resolution and Mandatory Arbitration
Kundendienst. We encourage you to seek resolution of any “Claim” by first contacting us at the contact information below. “Claim(s)” means any dispute of any kind between you and us, or any of our owners, officers, managers, directors, employees, agents, partners, suppliers, consultants, representatives, affiliates, successors, or assigns (collectively, “Company Entities”) related to or arising out of these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Site, or our services. If we cannot reach an informal resolution, the arbitration provisions below will govern.
Verbindliche Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit und Verzicht auf Sammelklagen. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER OR AGAINST COMPANY ENTITIES BY BINDING ARBITRATION IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA BEFORE ONE ARBITRATOR. ANY ELECTION TO ARBITRATE BY ONE PARTY SHALL BE FINAL AND BINDING ON THE OTHER. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS. DIE PARTEIEN VERZICHTEN AUF JEGLICHES RECHT, ANSPRÜCHE MIT ANDEREN ZU VERBINDEN ODER ANDERWEITIG IN EINER SAMMELKLAGEN ODER VERTRETERKLAGEN ZU VERFAHREN. SIE ERKENNEN AN, DASS SIE OHNE DIESE BESTIMMUNG DAS RECHT HÄTTEN, VOR EINEM GERICHT ZU KLAGEN ODER SICH AN EINER SAMMELKlage ZU BETEILIGEN. JEDE PARTEIE VERZICHTET WISSENSWERT, ABSICHTLICH UND FREIWILLIG AUF JEGLICHE RECHTE AUF EIN SCHWURGERICHTSVERFAHREN ODER AUF EINE SAMMELKLAGEN. This arbitration provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration laws. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its “Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures,” and the arbitrator shall apply California laws. For more information, see www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration may be conducted in person or via document submission, telephone, or email, but the arbitration location shall be in San Francisco, California. The parties each waive any objection to personal jurisdiction and venue. Upon request, we will pay your initial consumer arbitration fee of $250 to JAMS; however, if the arbitrator finds that your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, you will be responsible for reimbursing us for the initial arbitration fee, without limiting any other remedy available to us. The prevailing party shall be entitled to receive its reasonable attorney’s fees, legal costs, and any expenses incurred in such arbitration, and the arbitrator shall determine the prevailing party for this purpose. Notwithstanding this arbitration provision, you may assert a Claim on an individual basis in small claims court if the Claim seeks $2,500 or less.
