Terms & Conditions

Updated July 24, 2019

CW.com, LLC (“CollegeWeekends.com”) operates its websites and mobile applications, located at www.collegeweekends.com(collectively the “Sites”). Please read the following carefully before using the Sites.

By viewing, using, accessing, browsing, establishing an account, making a transaction, or submitting any content or material on the Sites (“Using” or “Use”), you agree to these Terms and Conditions as a binding legal agreement between you and CollegeWeekends.com, without limitation or qualification. You further agree to CollegeWeekends.com’s privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”), which also governs your Use of the Sites and is incorporated by reference (these Terms and Conditions together with the Privacy Policy are collectively referred to as the “Terms”). The term “you” shall refer to any person or entity who Uses the Sites (“Users”).

If you do not agree to these Terms, then you may not Use the Sites. CollegeWeekends.com reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. You agree that each visit you make to the Sites shall be subject to the then-current Terms, and continued Use of the Sites now or following modifications in these Terms confirms that you have read, accepted, and agreed to be bound by such modifications.

CollegeWeekends.com is an online marketplace that allows homeowners and those representing homeowners such as property managers or hosts (collectively, “Owners”) to advertise on the Sites listings for short term rental accommodations (“Listings”) to potential guests or renters (“Renters”). CollegeWeekends.com acts in a limited capacity as a payment provider to Users of the Sites to collect and disburse payments from one User to another. These Terms apply generally to all Users. You are an Owner if you list your property (“Property”) via the Sites. You are a Renter if you make a reservation to occupy a Property listed on the Sites (“Booking”). All Property Listings created on the Sites and Bookings of such Properties are subject to these Terms.

CollegeWeekends.com is a venue and not a party to any Booking agreement or other transaction between Users of the Sites. As a result, any part of an actual or potential transaction between Users, 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 Renter or Property), the ability of Users to Book a Property or the ability of Users to contract for Properties are solely the responsibility of each User. 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 CollegeWeekends.com may place additional restrictions on your Booking, product or service. Users agree that they are responsible for, and agree to abide by all laws, rules and regulations applicable to their use of the Sites, their use of any tool, service or product offered on the Sites, and any transaction they enter into on the Sites or in connection with their Use of the Sites.

CollegeWeekends.com does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, host, offer, deliver or supply any Property or Listings. Owners are responsible for their own Property listings and host services. When Users make or accept a Booking, they are entering into a contract directly with each other. CollegeWeekends.com is not a real estate broker or insurer. CollegeWeekends.com does not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between Users, nor does CollegeWeekends.com act as an agent in any capacity for any User.

Owners alone are responsible for identifying, understanding, and complying with all laws, rules, and regulations that apply to their Listings, Properties, and related services. Owners are alone responsible for identifying and obtaining any required licenses, permits, or registrations for any Listings, Property, or related services they offer. Certain types of services may be prohibited completely. Owners are responsible for identifying and paying any and all required taxes and other related fees to local, state, and federal entities as required by law. If Owners have any questions about how local laws apply to their Listings, Properties, related services, it is advised to seek legal guidance.

Owners who list Properties on the Sites represent that any information submitted to CollegeWeekends.com by that Owner is accurate and correct to the best of that Owner’s knowledge and that the Owner is fully authorized to list and rent that Property on a short-term basis. Owners must possess written proof that they own, lease, or are otherwise authorized to list and rent that Property on a short-term basis and shall provide such proof to CollegeWeekends.com upon CollegeWeekends.com’s request for any reason whatsoever.

Each Listing may only advertise a specific Property. The Property in a Listing may not be substituted for another Property. If an Owner submits changes to an existing Listing that, if approved, would substantially alter the Listing to make it that of another Property, then CollegeWeekends.com has the right to terminate the Listing and may choose, in CollegeWeekends.com’s sole discretion, to retain any fees associated with the term of the previously existing Listing as compensation for the violation of this condition.

Owners understand that CollegeWeekends.com does not perform any background checks on potential Renters and CollegeWeekends.com makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees about the Users of the Sites. It is the Owner’s responsibility to contract with Renters on terms that are mutually agreeable between the parties.

CollegeWeekends.com may remove any Property Listing deemed to be in violation of these Terms or otherwise should CollegeWeekends.com, at its sole discretion decide that the Property Listing is improper in any way. If CollegeWeekends.com removes a Listing, CollegeWeekends.com will notify the Owner.

Owners acknowledge that they are responsible for all charges incurred through their Account (as defined in Section XV herein). In the event you default, if CollegeWeekends.com requires use of collection agencies, attorneys, or courts of law for collection on your Account, you will be responsible for those expenses.

If an Owner has evidence that a Renter has damaged a Property or any personal or other property at a Property and needs to make a claim against the Renter (a “Damage Claim”), the Owner must contact CollegeWeekends.com by sending an email to support@collegeweekends.com with details of the claim, including the name of the Renter or Renter’s Account user name, the Booking dates, identification of the Property and damage at issue, and sufficient proof of the damage claimed. Owners must file Damage Claims within seven (7) days of the Renter’s check out from the Property where the damage occurred or before the next Booking, whichever is later (the “Claim Period”). CollegeWeekends.com will not consider Damage Claims filed outside of the Claim Period, and the Owner hereby agrees to assume responsibility for all Damage Claims not submitted within the Claim Period. Proof of damage to be included in a Damage Claim may be in the form of a photograph or description of the damage together with a receipt or written estimate for the cost of repairing the damage. CollegeWeekends.com in its sole discretion has the right to determine whether proof of damage submitted with a Damage Claim is sufficient to warrant charging the Renter for the damage. Owners understand and hereby agree that CollegeWeekends.com will only pay for damage to Properties or any personal or other property at a Property caused by Renters after CollegeWeekends.com has successfully obtained payment for the damage from the Renter. Owners hereby agree to not seek payment for such damage from CollegeWeekends.com if CollegeWeekends.com is unable to obtain payment for the damage from the Renter.   

Owners are not to contact Users for any purpose other than asking questions or relaying information related to your own booking, Listing, or the User’s use of the CollegeWeekends.com platform, including, but not limited to, recruiting or otherwise soliciting any User to join third party services, applications or websites, without our prior written approval.

Owners are not to request or take any payments for a booking outside of the CollegeWeekends.com platform. If you do so, you acknowledge and agree that you have breached these terms and accept the risks and responsibilities for such payment and hold CollegeWeekends.com harmless for such payment. Breach of these terms may result in being banned from the platform.

Renters understand that CollegeWeekends.com does not perform any background checks on potential Owners and CollegeWeekends.com makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees about the Users of the Sites. CollegeWeekends.com does not make any representations, warranties, or guarantees as to the conditions or quality of the Properties. CollegeWeekends.com does not have control of the Properties listed on the Sites. It is the Renter’s responsibility to contract with Owners on terms that are mutually agreeable between the parties.

As a Renter, you are responsible for leaving the Property (including any personal or other property located at the Property) in the condition it was in when you arrived. 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 Property, excluding the Owner (and the individuals the Owner invites to the Property, if applicable).

If an Owner submits a Damage Claim against you as a Renter and provides sufficient evidence that you as a Renter have damaged a Property or any personal or other property at a Property, the Owner can seek payment from you by contacting CollegeWeekends.com. If an Owner escalates a Damage Claim to CollegeWeekends.com, you will be given an opportunity to respond. If you agree to pay the Owner, or CollegeWeekends.com determines in its sole discretion that you are responsible for the Damage Claim, CollegeWeekends.com will, after the end of your stay, collect any such sums from you and/or against the security deposit (if applicable) required to cover the Damage Claim. If the cost to repair the damage exceeds the amount of the security deposit, then CollegeWeekends.com reserves the right to charge the credit card you used to pay for the Booking to cover the balance of the damage cost. CollegeWeekends.com also reserves the right to otherwise collect payment from you and pursue any remedies available to CollegeWeekends.com in this regard in situations in which you are responsible for a Damage Claim.

Renters are not to use the CollegeWeekends.com platform to request, make or accept a booking independent of the CollegeWeekends.com platform, to circumvent any fee or for any other reason. Renters are not to make any payments for a booking outside of the CollegeWeekends.com platform. If you do so, you acknowledge and agree that you have breached these terms and accept the risks and responsibilities for such payment and hold CollegeWeekends.com harmless for such payment. Breach of these terms may result in being banned from the platform.

Users agree to cooperate with and assist CollegeWeekends.com in good faith, and to provide CollegeWeekends.com with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by CollegeWeekends.com, in connection with any Damage Claims or other complaints or claims made by Users relating to Properties or any personal or other property located at a Property. A User shall, upon CollegeWeekends.com’s reasonable request and at no cost to the User, participate in mediation or a similar resolution process with another User, which process will be conducted by CollegeWeekends.com or a third party selected by CollegeWeekends.com or its insurer, with respect to losses for which a User is requesting payment from CollegeWeekends.com.

If you are a Renter, you understand and agree that CollegeWeekends.com may make a claim under your homeowner’s, renter’s or other insurance policy related to any damage or loss that you may have caused, or been responsible for, to any personal or other property (including a Property) of the Owner. You agree to cooperate with and assist CollegeWeekends.com in good faith, and to provide CollegeWeekends.com with such information as may be reasonably requested by CollegeWeekends.com, to make a claim under your homeowner’s, renter’s or other insurance policy, including, but not limited to, executing documents and taking such further acts as CollegeWeekends.com may reasonably request to assist CollegeWeekends.com in accomplishing the foregoing.

Users are responsible for any modifications to a Booking that they make via the Sites (“Booking Modifications”), and agree to pay any additional fees and/or taxes associated with such Booking Modifications.

If a Renter or Owner cancels a confirmed Booking 60 days or more prior to the check-in date of that Booking, then the total fee for the Booking (including cleaning fees, pet fees, taxes, etc.) less a processing fee will be refunded to the Renter.

If a Renter cancels a confirmed Booking less than 60 days from the check-in date but 30 days or more prior to the check-in date, then 50% of the total fee for the Booking (including cleaning fees, pet fees, taxes, etc.) less a processing fee will be refunded to the Renter.

The total fee for a confirmed Booking is nonrefundable if the Renter cancels the Booking less then 30 days prior to the check-in date.

If an Owner cancels a confirmed Booking, then CollegeWeekends.com will make a good faith effort to refund the total fee to the Renter. If an Owner cancels a confirmed Booking less than 48 hours from the check-in date, CollegeWeekends.com reserves the right to cancel the Owner’s Account, publish an automated review on the listing cancelled by the Owner indicating that the Owner cancelled a Booking, or take other reasonable measures determined by CollegeWeekends.com in its sole discretion, unless the Owner has a valid reason for cancelling the Booking or has legitimate concerns about the Renter’s behavior.

In certain circumstances, CollegeWeekends.com may decide, in CollegeWeekends.com’s sole discretion, that it is necessary to cancel a pending or confirmed Booking and initiate corresponding refunds and payouts. This may be for reasons that CollegeWeekends.com’s considers to be an extenuating circumstance or where CollegeWeekends.com believes in good faith, while taking the legitimate interests of both parties into account, this is necessary to avoid significant harm to CollegeWeekends.com, other Users, third parties or property, or for any of the reasons set out in these Terms.

If a Renter who makes a Booking suffers a Travel Issue (as defined below), CollegeWeekends.com may determine, in CollegeWeekends.com’s sole discretion, to refund the Renter part or all of the total fees.

A “Travel Issue” means: (i) the Owner of the property cancels a Booking shortly before the scheduled start of the Booking or fails to provide the Renter with the reasonable ability to access the Property; (ii) the Listing’s description, depiction, or location of the Property is materially inaccurate; or, (iii) the Property is not clean and sanitary or contains safety or health hazards.

If a Renter or CollegeWeekends.com cancels a confirmed Booking, and the Renter receives a refund after the Owner has already been paid, CollegeWeekends.com will be entitled to recover the amount of any such refund from the Owner, including by subtracting such refund amount out from any future payouts due to the Owner.
