Terms of Service

Thank you for using airstar_airbnb!

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement ("Agreement") between you and airstar_airbnb (as defined below) governing your access to and use of the airstar_airbnb website, including any subdomains thereof, and any other websites through which airstar_airbnb makes its services available (collectively, "Site"), our mobile, tablet and other smart device applications, and application program interfaces (collectively, "Application") and all associated services (collectively, "airstar_airbnb Services"). The Site, Application and airstar_airbnb Services together are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “airstar_airbnb Platform”. Our Host Guarantee Terms, Japan Host Insurance Terms, Guest Refund Policy, Nondiscrimination Policy and other Policies applicable to your use of the airstar_airbnb Platform are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

When these Terms mention “airstar_airbnb,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” it refers to the airstar_airbnb company you are contracting with. Your contracting entity will generally be determined based on your country of residence or establishment.

If you change your country of residence or establishment, the airstar_airbnb company you contract with will be determined by your new country of residence or establishment as specified above, from the date on which your country of residence changes.

Our collection and use of personal information in connection with your access to and use of the airstar_airbnb Platform is described in our Privacy Policy.

Any and all payment processing services through or in connection with your use of the airstar_airbnb Platform ("Payment Services") are provided to you by one or more airstar_airbnb Payments entities (individually and collectively, as appropriate, "airstar_airbnb Payments") as set out in the Payments Terms of Service ("Payments Terms").

Hosts alone are responsible for identifying, understanding, and complying with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to their Listings and Host Services (as defined below). For example, some cities have laws that restrict their ability to host paying guests for short periods or provide certain Host Services. In many cities, Hosts may have to register, get a permit or obtain a license before providing certain Host Services (such as preparing food, serving alcohol for sale, guiding tours or operating a vehicle). Host are alone responsible for identifying and obtaining any required licenses, permits, or registrations for any Host Services they offer. Certain types of Host Services may be prohibited altogether. Penalties may include fines or other enforcement. We provide some information in our Help Center to help you identify some of the obligations that apply to you. If you have questions about how local laws apply to your Listing(s) and Host Service(s) on airstar_airbnb, you should always seek legal guidance.

  1. Scope of airstar_airbnb Services

1.1 The airstar_airbnb Platform is an online marketplace that enables registered users (“Members”) and certain third parties who offer services (Members and third parties who offer services are “Hosts” and the services they offer are “Host Services”) to publish such Host Services on the airstar_airbnb Platform (“Listings”) and to communicate and transact directly with Members that are seeking to book such Host Services (Members using Host Services are “Guests”). Host Services may include the offering of vacation or other properties for use ("Accommodations"), single or multi-day activities in various categories (“Experiences”), access to unique events and locations (“Events”), and a variety of other travel and non-travel related services.

1.2 As the provider of the airstar_airbnb Platform, airstar_airbnb does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Listings or Host Services, nor is airstar_airbnb an organiser or retailer of travel packages. Hosts alone are responsible for their Listings and Host Services. When Members make or accept a booking, they are entering into a contract directly with each other. airstar_airbnb is not and does not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between Members, nor is airstar_airbnb a real estate broker or insurer. airstar_airbnb is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member, except as specified in the Payments Terms.

1.3 While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, airstar_airbnb has no control over and does not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Listings or Host Services, (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions, Ratings, Reviews, or other Member Content (as defined below), or (iii) the performance or conduct of any Member or third party. airstar_airbnb does not endorse any Member, Listing or Host Services. Any references to a Member being "verified" (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification or identification process and nothing else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by airstar_airbnb about any Member, including of the Member's identity or background or whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. You should always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to stay in an Accommodation, participate in an Experience or Event or use other Host Services, accept a booking request from a Guest, or communicate and interact with other Members, whether online or in person. Verified Images (as defined below) are intended only to indicate a photographic representation of a Listing at the time the photograph was taken, and are therefore not an endorsement by airstar_airbnb of any Host or Listing.

1.4 If you choose to use the airstar_airbnb Platform as a Host or Co-Host (as defined below), your relationship with airstar_airbnb is limited to being an independent, third-party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of airstar_airbnb for any reason, and you act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of airstar_airbnb. airstar_airbnb does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control you generally or in your performance under these Terms specifically, including in connection with your provision of the Host Services. You acknowledge and agree that you have complete discretion whether to list Host Services or otherwise engage in other business or employment activities.

1.5 To promote the airstar_airbnb Platform and to increase the exposure of Listings to potential Guests, Listings and other Member Content may be displayed on other websites, in applications, within emails, and in online and offline advertisements. To assist Members who speak different languages, Listings and other Member Content may be translated, in whole or in part, into other languages. airstar_airbnb cannot guarantee the accuracy or quality of such translations and Members are responsible for reviewing and verifying the accuracy of such translations. The airstar_airbnb Platform may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties for merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

1.6 The airstar_airbnb Platform may contain links to third-party websites or resources (“Third-Party Services”). Such Third-Party Services may be subject to different terms and conditions and privacy practices. airstar_airbnb is not responsible or liable for the availability or accuracy of such Third-Party Services, or the content, products, or services available from such Third-Party Services. Links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by airstar_airbnb of such Third-Party Services.

1.7 Due to the nature of the Internet, airstar_airbnb cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of the airstar_airbnb Platform. airstar_airbnb may restrict the availability of the airstar_airbnb Platform or certain areas or features thereof, if this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of the airstar_airbnb Platform. airstar_airbnb may improve, enhance and modify the airstar_airbnb Platform and introduce new airstar_airbnb Services from time to time.

2.4 The access to or use of certain areas and features of the airstar_airbnb Platform may be subject to separate policies, standards or guidelines, or may require that you accept additional terms and conditions, before you can access the relevant areas or features of the airstar_airbnb Platform. If there is a conflict between these Terms and terms and conditions applicable to a specific area or feature of the airstar_airbnb Platform, the latter terms and conditions will take precedence with respect to your access to or use of that area or feature, unless specified otherwise in the latter terms and conditions.

2.5 If you access or download the Application from the Apple App Store, you agree to Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement. Some areas of the airstar_airbnb Platform implement Google Maps/Earth mapping services, including Google Maps API(s).

More information about the factors that determine how your Listing appears in search results can be found on our help center.

7.1.7 When you accept or have pre-approved a booking request by a Guest, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with the Guest and are required to provide your Host Service(s) to the Guest as described in your Listing when the booking request is made. You also agree to pay the applicable Host Fee and any applicable Taxes.

7.1.8 airstar_airbnb recommends that Hosts obtain appropriate insurance for their Host Services. Please review any respective insurance policy carefully, and in particular make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of Guests (and the individuals the Guest has booked for, if applicable) while staying at your Accommodation or participating in your Experience, Event or other Host Service.

As a Host, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals who reside at or are otherwise present at the Accommodation at your request or invitation, excluding the Guest and any individuals the Guest invites to the Accommodation.

7.3 Listing Experiences, Events and other Host Services

Hosts who list Experiences, Events and Host Services other than Accommodations agree to and are subject to the Additional Terms for Experience Hosts.

  1. Terms specific for Guests

8.1 Terms applicable to all bookings

8.1.1 Subject to meeting any requirements (such as completing any verification processes) set by airstar_airbnb and/or the Host, you can book a Listing available on the airstar_airbnb Platform by following the respective booking process. All applicable fees, including the Listing Fee, Security Deposit (if applicable), Guest Fee and any applicable Taxes (collectively, “Total Fees”) will be presented to you prior to booking a Listing. You agree to pay the Total Fees for any booking requested in connection with your airstar_airbnb Account.

8.1.2 Upon receipt of a booking confirmation from airstar_airbnb, a legally binding agreement is formed between you and your Host, subject to any additional terms and conditions of the Host that apply, including in particular the applicable cancellation policy and any rules and restrictions specified in the Listing. airstar_airbnb Payments will collect the Total Fees at the time of the booking request or upon the Host’s confirmation pursuant to the Payments Terms. For certain bookings, Guests may be required to pay or have the option to pay in multiple installments.

8.1.3 If you book a Host Service on behalf of additional guests, you are required to ensure that every additional guest meets any requirements set by the Host, and is made aware of and agrees to these Terms and any terms and conditions, rules and restrictions set by the Host. If you are booking for an additional guest who is a minor, you represent and warrant that you are legally authorized to act on behalf of the minor. Minors may only participate in an Experience, Event or other Host Service if accompanied by an adult who is responsible for them.

8.1.4 airstar_airbnb may enable a Guest who is booking a Listing on behalf of one or more additional guests (the “Organizer”) to split the payment of the Total Fees for an eligible booking on a pro-rata basis between the Organizer and at least one other additional guest (each a “Co-Payer”) (the “Group Payment Service”). In order to participate in the Group Payment Service, each Co-Payer must have or register a airstar_airbnb Account prior to making a payment. All payments via the Group Payment Service are handled by airstar_airbnb Payments and are subject to the Group Payment Terms of Service.

8.2 Booking Accommodations

8.2.1 You understand that a confirmed booking of an Accommodation (“Accommodation Booking”) is a limited license granted to you by the Host to enter, occupy and use the Accommodation for the duration of your stay, during which time the Host (only where and to the extent permitted by applicable law) retains the right to re-enter the Accommodation, in accordance with your agreement with the Host.

8.2.2 You agree to leave the Accommodation no later than the checkout time that the Host specifies in the Listing or such other time as mutually agreed upon between you and the Host. If you stay past the agreed upon checkout time without the Host's consent (“Overstay”), you no longer have a license to stay in the Accommodation and the Host is entitled to make you leave in a manner consistent with applicable law. In addition, you agree to pay, if requested by the Host, for each twenty-four (24) hour period (or any portion thereof) that you Overstay, an additional nightly fee of up to two (2) times the average nightly Listing Fee originally paid by you to cover the inconvenience suffered by the Host, plus all applicable Guest Fees, Taxes, and any legal expenses incurred by the Host to make you leave (collectively, "Overstay Fees"). Overstay Fees for late checkouts on the checkout date that do not impact upcoming bookings may be limited to the additional costs incurred by the Host as a result of such Overstay. If you Overstay at an Accommodation, you authorize airstar_airbnb (via airstar_airbnb Payments) to charge you to collect Overstay Fees. A Security Deposit, if required by a Host, may be applied to any Overstay Fees due for a Guest’s Overstay.

8.3 Booking Experiences, Events and other Host Services

8.3.1 You should carefully review the description of any Experience, Event or other Host Service you intend to book to ensure you (and any additional guests you are booking for) meet any minimum age, proficiency, fitness or other requirements which the Host has specified in their Listing. At your sole discretion you may want to inform the Host of any medical or physical conditions, or other circumstances that may impact your and any additional guest’s ability to participate in any Experience, Event or other Host Service. In addition, certain laws, like the minimum legal drinking age in the location of the Experience, Event or other Host Service, may also apply. You are responsible for identifying, understanding, and complying with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to your participation in an Experience, Event or other Host Service.

8.3.2 Before and during an Experience, Event or other Host Service you must at all times adhere to the Hosts’ instructions.

8.3.3 You may not bring any additional individuals to an Experience, Event or other Host Service unless such an individual was added by you as an additional guest during the booking process on the airstar_airbnb Platform.

8.4 airstar_airbnb Travel Credits

airstar_airbnb Travel Credits may be redeemed for eligible bookings via the airstar_airbnb Platform as specified in the terms and conditions provided with the Travel Credit. You may only redeem airstar_airbnb Travel Credits after the airstar_airbnb Travel Credits are reflected in your airstar_airbnb Account.

  1. Booking Modifications, Cancellations and Refunds, Resolution Center

9.1 Hosts and Guests are responsible for any modifications to a booking that they make via the airstar_airbnb Platform or direct airstar_airbnb customer service to make ("Booking Modifications"), and agree to pay any additional Listing Fees, Host Fees or Guest Fees and/or Taxes associated with such Booking Modifications.

9.2 Guests can cancel a confirmed booking at any time pursuant to the Listing’s cancellation policy set by the Host, and airstar_airbnb Payments will refund the amount of the Total Fees due to the Guest in accordance with such cancellation policy. Unless extenuating circumstances exist, any portion of the Total Fees due to the Host under the applicable cancellation policy will be remitted to the Host by airstar_airbnb Payments pursuant to the Payments Terms.

9.3 If a Host cancels a confirmed booking, the Guest will receive a full refund of the Total Fees for such booking. In some instances, airstar_airbnb may allow the Guest to apply the refund to a new booking, in which case airstar_airbnb Payments will credit the amount against the Guest’s subsequent booking at the Guest’s direction. Further, airstar_airbnb may publish an automated review on the Listing cancelled by the Host indicating that a booking was cancelled. In addition, airstar_airbnb may (i) keep the calendar for the Listing unavailable or blocked for the dates of the cancelled booking, and/or (ii) impose a cancellation fee, unless the Host has a valid reason for cancelling the booking pursuant to airstar_airbnb’s Extenuating Circumstances Policy or has legitimate concerns about the Guest’s behavior.

9.4 For Experiences, Events and other Host Services, if weather poses a safety risk to Guests, or if it prevents a Host from carrying out a Host Service that takes place primarily outdoors, Hosts may cancel the Host Service. Hosts may also cancel the Host Service if other conditions exist that would prevent the Host from offering the Host Service safely.

9.5 In certain circumstances, airstar_airbnb may decide, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary to cancel a pending or confirmed booking and initiate corresponding refunds and payouts. This may be for reasons set forth in airstar_airbnb's Extenuating Circumstances Policy or (i) where airstar_airbnb believes in good faith, while taking the legitimate interests of both parties into account, this is necessary to avoid significant harm to airstar_airbnb, other Members, third parties or property, or (ii) for any of the reasons set out in these Terms.

9.6 If a Guest who books an Accommodation suffers a Travel Issue as defined in the Guest Refund Policy, airstar_airbnb may determine, in its sole discretion, to refund the Guest part or all of the Total Fees in accordance with the Guest Refund Policy. If a Guest who books an Experience, Event or other Host Service suffers a Travel Issue as defined in the Experiences Guest Refund Policy, airstar_airbnb may determine, in its sole discretion, to refund the Guest part or all of the Total Fees in accordance with the Experiences Guest Refund Policy.

9.7 If a Guest or airstar_airbnb cancels a confirmed booking, and the Guest receives a refund in accordance with the Guest Refund Policy, Experiences Guest Refund Policy, Extenuating Circumstances Policy, or the applicable cancellation policy set by the Host and mentioned in the Listing, after the Host has already been paid, airstar_airbnb Payments will be entitled to recover the amount of any such refund from the Host, including by subtracting such refund amount out from any future Payouts due to the Host.

9.8 Except as otherwise set out in these Terms, Members may use the Resolution Center to send or request money for refunds, additional Host Services or Damage Claims related to bookings. You agree to pay all amounts sent through the Resolution Center in connection with your airstar_airbnb Account, and airstar_airbnb Payments will handle all such payments.

10.1 Within a certain timeframe after completing a booking, Guests and Hosts can leave a public review (“Review”) and submit a star rating (“Rating”) about each other. Ratings or Reviews reflect the opinions of individual Members and do not reflect the opinion of airstar_airbnb. Ratings and Reviews are not verified by airstar_airbnb for accuracy and may be incorrect or misleading.

10.2 Ratings and Reviews by Guests and Hosts must be accurate and may not contain any offensive or defamatory language. Ratings and Reviews are subject to Section 5 and must comply with airstar_airbnb’s Content Policy and Extortion Policy.

10.3 Members are prohibited from manipulating the Ratings and Reviews system in any manner, such as instructing a third party to write a positive or negative Review about another Member.

10.4 Ratings and Reviews are part of a Member’s public profile and may also be surfaced elsewhere on the airstar_airbnb Platform (such as the Listing page) together with other relevant information such as number of bookings, number of cancellations, average response time and other information.

  1. Damage to Accommodations, Disputes between Members

11.1 As a Guest, you are responsible for leaving the Accommodation (including any personal or other property located at the Accommodation) 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 Accommodation, excluding the Host (and the individuals the Host invites to the Accommodation, if applicable).

11.2 If a Host claims and provides evidence that you as a Guest have damaged an Accommodation or any personal or other property at an Accommodation ("Damage Claim"), the Host can seek payment from you through the Resolution Center. If a Host escalates a Damage Claim to airstar_airbnb, you will be given an opportunity to respond. If you agree to pay the Host, or airstar_airbnb determines in its sole discretion that you are responsible for the Damage Claim, airstar_airbnb via airstar_airbnb Payments 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 pursuant to the Payments Terms. airstar_airbnb also reserves the right to otherwise collect payment from you and pursue any remedies available to airstar_airbnb in this regard in situations in which you are responsible for a Damage Claim, including, but not limited to, in relation to any payment requests made by Hosts under the airstar_airbnb Host Guarantee or Japan Host Insurance.

11.3 Members agree to cooperate with and assist airstar_airbnb in good faith, and to provide airstar_airbnb with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by airstar_airbnb, in connection with any Damage Claims or other complaints or claims made by Members relating to (i) Accommodations or any personal or other property located at an Accommodation (including, without limitation, payment requests made under the airstar_airbnb Host Guarantee or Japan Host Insurance), (ii) Experiences, (iii) Co-Host agreements, or (iv) a Group Payment Booking. A Member shall, upon airstar_airbnb's reasonable request and at no cost to the Member, participate in mediation or a similar resolution process with another Member, which process will be conducted by airstar_airbnb or a third party selected by airstar_airbnb or its insurer, with respect to losses for which a Member is requesting payment from airstar_airbnb (including but not limited to payments under the airstar_airbnb Host Guarantee or payment under Japan Host Insurance).

11.4 If you are a Guest or a Co-Host, you understand and agree that airstar_airbnb 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 an Accommodation) of the Host (including without limitation amounts paid by airstar_airbnb under the airstar_airbnb Host Guarantee or amounts paid under Japan Host Insurance). You agree to cooperate with and assist airstar_airbnb in good faith, and to provide airstar_airbnb with such information as may be reasonably requested by airstar_airbnb, 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 airstar_airbnb may reasonably request to assist airstar_airbnb in accomplishing the foregoing.

  1. Taxes

12.1 As a Host you are solely responsible for determining your obligations to report, collect, remit or include in your Listing Fees any applicable TGST or other indirect sales taxes, occupancy tax, tourist or other visitor taxes or income taxes ("Taxes").

12.2 Tax regulations may require us to collect appropriate Tax information from Hosts, or to withhold Taxes from payouts to Hosts, or both. If a Host fails to provide us with the required documentation under applicable law that we determine to be sufficient to alleviate our obligation (if any) to withhold Taxes from payouts to you, we reserve the right to withhold payouts up to the tax-relevant amount as required by law, until resolution.

12.3 You understand that any appropriate governmental agency, department and/or authority ("Tax Authority") where your Accommodation is located may require Taxes to be collected from Guests or Hosts on Listing Fees, and to be remitted to the respective Tax Authority. The laws in jurisdictions may vary, but these Taxes may be required to be collected and remitted as a percentage of the Listing Fees set by Hosts, a set amount per day, or other variations, and are sometimes called "transient occupancy taxes," "hotel taxes," "lodging taxes," "city taxes," "room taxes" or "tourist taxes" ("Occupancy Taxes").

12.4 In certain jurisdictions, airstar_airbnb may decide in its sole discretion to facilitate collection and remittance of Occupancy Taxes from or on behalf of Guests or Hosts, in accordance with these Terms ("Collection and Remittance") if such jurisdiction asserts airstar_airbnb or Hosts have an Occupancy Tax collection and remittance obligation. In any jurisdiction in which we decide to facilitate direct Collection and Remittance, you hereby instruct and authorize airstar_airbnb (via airstar_airbnb Payments) to collect Occupancy Taxes from Guests on the Host's behalf at the time Listing Fees are collected, and to remit such Occupancy Taxes to the Tax Authority. In other jurisdictions airstar_airbnb may decide in its sole discretion to collect Occupancy Taxes and remit such Taxes to eligible and qualifying Hosts, based on tax information supplied by the Host, for ultimate reporting and remittance by such Host to the Tax Authority (“Pass-Through Tax Feature”). Such Hosts using the Pass-Through Tax Feature will be solely responsible for informing airstar_airbnb about the correct Occupancy Tax amount to be collected from the Guest in accordance with applicable law and directly remitting the Occupancy Taxes to the relevant Tax Authority. airstar_airbnb does not assume any liability for the failure of a participating Host to comply with any applicable tax reporting or remittance obligations. The amount of Occupancy Taxes, if any, collected and remitted by airstar_airbnb will be visible to and separately stated to both Guests and Hosts on their respective transaction documents. Where airstar_airbnb is facilitating Collection and Remittance, Hosts are not permitted to collect any Occupancy Taxes being collected by airstar_airbnb relating to their Accommodations in that jurisdiction.

12.5 You agree that any claim or cause of action relating to airstar_airbnb's facilitation of Collection and Remittance of Occupancy Taxes shall not extend to any supplier or vendor that may be used by airstar_airbnb in connection with facilitation of Collection and Remittance, if any. Guests and Hosts agree that we may seek additional amounts from you in the event that the Taxes collected and/or remitted are insufficient to fully discharge your obligations to the Tax Authority, and agree that your sole remedy for Occupancy Taxes collected is a refund of Occupancy Taxes collected by airstar_airbnb from the applicable Tax Authority in accordance with applicable procedures set by that Tax Authority.

12.6 airstar_airbnb reserves the right, with prior notice to Hosts, to cease the Collection and Remittance in any jurisdiction for any reason at which point Hosts and Guests are once again solely responsible and liable for the collection and/or remittance of any and all Occupancy Taxes that may apply to Accommodations in that jurisdiction.

13.3 If you feel that any Member you interact with, whether online or in person, is acting or has acted inappropriately, including but not limited to anyone who (i) engages in offensive, violent or sexually inappropriate behavior, (ii) you suspect of stealing from you, or (iii) engages in any other disturbing conduct, you should immediately report such person to the appropriate authorities and then to airstar_airbnb by contacting us with your police station and report number (if available). You agree that any report you make will not obligate us to take any action (beyond that required by law, if any).

  1. Term and Termination, Suspension and other Measures

  1. Disclaimers

If you choose to use the airstar_airbnb Platform or Collective Content, you do so voluntarily and at your sole risk. The airstar_airbnb Platform and Collective Content is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, either express or implied.

You agree that you have had whatever opportunity you deem necessary to investigate the airstar_airbnb Services, laws, rules, or regulations that may be applicable to your Listings and/or Host Services you are receiving and that you are not relying upon any statement of law or fact made by airstar_airbnb relating to a Listing.

If we choose to conduct identity verification or background checks on any Member, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim warranties of any kind, either express or implied, that such checks will identify prior misconduct by a Member or guarantee that a Member will not engage in misconduct in the future.

You agree that some Experiences, Events, other Host Services, or the Group Payment Service may carry inherent risk, and by participating in such services, you choose to assume those risks voluntarily. For example, some Host Services may carry risk of illness, bodily injury, disability, or death, and you freely and willfully assume those risks by choosing to participate in those Host Services. You assume full responsibility for the choices you make before, during and after your participation in a Host Service or the Group Payment Service. If you are bringing a minor as an additional guest, you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor throughout the duration of your Host Service and to the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to release and hold harmless airstar_airbnb from all liabilities and claims that arise in any way from any injury, death, loss or harm that occurs to that minor during the Host Service or in any way related to your Host Service.

The foregoing disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. You may have other statutory rights. However, the duration of statutorily required warranties, if any, shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

  1. Liability

You acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the airstar_airbnb Platform and Collective Content, your publishing or booking of any Listing via the airstar_airbnb Platform, your stay at any Accommodation, participation in any Experience or Event or use of any other Host Service, participation in the Group Payment Service, or any other interaction you have with other Members whether in person or online remains with you. Neither airstar_airbnb nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the airstar_airbnb Platform or Collective Content will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute products or services, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with (i) these Terms, (ii) from the use of or inability to use the airstar_airbnb Platform or Collective Content, (iii) from any communications, interactions or meetings with other Members or other persons with whom you communicate, interact or meet with as a result of your use of the airstar_airbnb Platform, or (iv) from your publishing or booking of a Listing, including the provision or use of a Listing’s Host Services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not airstar_airbnb has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Except for our obligations to pay amounts to applicable Hosts pursuant to these Terms or an approved payment request under the airstar_airbnb Host Guarantee or Japan Host Insurance, in no event will airstar_airbnb’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms and your use of the airstar_airbnb Platform including, but not limited to, from your publishing or booking of any Listings via the airstar_airbnb Platform, or from the use of or inability to use the airstar_airbnb Platform or Collective Content and in connection with any Accommodation, Experiences, Event,other Host Service, the Group Payment Service, or interactions with any other Members, exceed the amounts you have paid or owe for bookings via the airstar_airbnb Platform as a Guest in the twelve (12) month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability, or if you are a Host, the amounts paid by airstar_airbnb to you in the twelve (12) month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability, or one hundred Rufiya (Mvr100), if no such payments have been made, as applicable. The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between airstar_airbnb and you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. If you reside outside of the U.S., this does not affect airstar_airbnb’s liability for death or personal injury arising from its negligence, nor for fraudulent misrepresentation, misrepresentation as to a fundamental matter or any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

  1. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to release, defend (at airstar_airbnb’s option), indemnify, and hold airstar_airbnb and its affiliates and subsidiaries, including but not limited to, airstar_airbnb Payments, and their officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your breach of these Terms or our Policies or Standards, (ii) your improper use of the airstar_airbnb Platform or any airstar_airbnb Services, (iii) your interaction with any Member, stay at an Accommodation, participation in an Experience, Event or other Host Service, participation in the Group Payment Service, including without limitation any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction, stay, participation or use, (iv) airstar_airbnb’s Collection and Remittance of Occupancy Taxes, or (v) your breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights.
