1. Introduction

(1) The www.holidayingwithdogs.com.au website and any mobile application for the website (the “Site”) is owned and operated by Holidaying with Dogs Pty Ltd ABN: 816 141 145 73 (“Holidaying with Dogs”, “we”, “us” or “our”).  

(2) These terms and conditions (the “Property Manager T&C”) together with any other terms and conditions referred to within the Property Manager T&C (including the Privacy Policy), together forming (this “Agreement”) govern the relationship between Holidaying with Dogs and any party who accesses or uses the Site to offer or advertise any property for rent, including property owners, lessees and property managers, (collectively “Property Managers” or “you”).

(3) This Agreement constitutes a legally binding agreement between Holidaying with Dogs and the Property Manager. By using or accessing the Site or Holidaying with Dogs’ platforms or systems in the capacity of a Property Manager, you acknowledge that you agree to and are subject to this Agreement, including our Privacy Policy. If you do not fully agree to the terms of this Agreement, you are not authorised to access or otherwise use the Site.

(4) If the Property Manager is a company, partnership or other entity, the person who uses the Site or agrees to the terms of this Agreement, on behalf of that Property Manager, represents that they have the authority to bind the entity to the terms of this Agreement.

(5) Holidaying with Dogs does not authorise anyone to register with the Site unless they are able to enter into legally binding contracts.

(6) Holidaying with Dogs may revise these Property Manager T&C at any time by posting an updated version to the Site. You should visit the Site periodically to view the most current Property Manager T&C because they are binding to you.

(7) Property Managers who violate the terms of this Agreement may have their access and use of the Site suspended and their Listing(s) removed from the Site, at Holidaying with Dogs’ discretion.

2. The Site is a Venue only

(1) This Site is a venue which allows Property Managers to advertise one or more entire holiday rental houses, apartments, a bed and breakfast, caravan park, motel or private room (each a “Property”) for short term lets of less than 90 days to potential Guests (each, a “Guest”). We also offer an online booking service to allow Property Managers and Guests to communicate with each other and to enter into a short term rental agreements.

(2) The Site provides a venue for users to interact. Holidaying with Dogs does not act as your agent in relation to properties, products or services that you advertise on the Site. Holidaying with Dogs is not a party to any rental or other contractual relationship between you and a Guest or any other third party, even if the Site facilitates booking and paying for a Property or the use of other tools, services or products. Holidaying with Dogs does not mediate between the Guest and the Property Manager in the event of any dispute arising between them. You enter into any transaction with a third party entirely at your own risk.

3. Listing a Property

Property Managers can agree with Holidaying with Dogs to place on the Site an advertisement for a specific Property (each, a “Listing”). Property Managers listing for the first time can only advertise a Property on the Site on a pay-per-booking basis.

3.1    Online booking

(1) All Properties listed will do so under an online booking model. This means Property Managers will advertise each Listing without any upfront fee and will be charged a commission calculated as a percentage of the (“Accommodation Fee”) paid by a Guest on every booking sourced through the Site (“the Commission”). Holidaying with Dogs reserves the right to change the applicable Commission, with any changes to be notified to the Property Manager no less than 14 days before the new Commission is applied. The new Commission rate will be deemed accepted if the Property Manager does not remove their Listing by the time the new Commission is applied.  

(2) The Property Manager is responsible for setting the per night accommodation fee (“Accommodation Fee”), any (“Additional Fee”) such as cleaning, and any peak and off-peak pricing periods using the bundle (“’Bundle”) and custom pricing tools (“Custom Pricing”) when creating the Listing.  

(3) The calculation of the Commission will be assessed against total Accommodation Fee. Commission is not charged on the Additional Fee.  

(4) The Commission rate shall be 5.5% of the (“Accommodation Fee”). The 5.5% rate is inclusive of GST and the transactions credit card fees. This rate is current as at 16 September 2021.

(5) Payment to Holidaying with Dogs of the applicable Commission by the Property Manager will be done through the Holidaying with Dogs online payment system (“Online Payments”) (see clause 5. ‘Payments’ T&C).

(6) Listings published will be displayed on the Site until they are removed by the Property Manager or Holidaying with Dogs. Holidaying with Dogs reserves the right to remove or refuse to publish any Listing at any time in its sole discretion. Property Managers can also remove their Listings at any time, through the Holidaying with Dogs Property Manager Dashboard or by contacting customer service.

3.2    General terms of listing

(1) The Property Manager commits to provide only accurate and up to date information for each Listing (including the description, availability, rates, property terms and conditions and cancellation policy), and shall not impose different conditions on the Guest than those set out in the Listing.

(2) The Property Manager cannot promote or include a another booking website address, personal website address, email or phone number as part of the properties description in the Property Overview or when undertaking any communication with the guest via the Holidaying with Dogs website.

(3) Holidaying with Dogs reserves the right to decline to place, amend, or remove, any Listing that appears; to infringe, be capable of infringing, or be associated with the infringement of any provision of this Agreement, any applicable law or regulation or the intellectual property rights of Holidaying with Dogs. We may also amend your Listing to improve the quality of your Listing.

3.3    Sort order

The results of searches for Listings depend on Holidaying with Dogs algorithms and may vary from time to time. As a consequence, Property Managers may notice ongoing fluctuations in their Listing’s position in the search results. Holidaying with Dogs provides no guarantee on any position within search results.

4. Using the service

(1) Upon registration, a Property Manager is required to create user profile in which the data the Property Manager contributes is recorded and in which all the Property rentals offered by that Property Manager are specified (“Property Manager Dashboard”).

(2) The Property Manager Dashboard provides various functions which are intended to assist Property Managers to manage their Properties through the Site, communicate with Guests and track their booking performance. 

(3) Through the Property Manager Dashboard, the Property Manager has access to Guests’ reviews for the Property Manager’s Properties.

(4) Guests are invited to post their own reviews of Property Managers’ Properties (“Guest Reviews”) after the check-out date has passed. The Guest Review is submitted on the Site and provides a 5 Paw Dog Friendly Accommodation (“5 Paw Rating”) rating from 1 – 5. The 5 Paw Rating is assessed against Pet Friendliness, People Friendliness, Location and Value.  The Guest is provided with the opportunity to post a public review (“Public Review”) and private feedback (“Private Feedback”) about their stay. The Private Feedback will not be publicly viewable and can only be seen by the Guest, Property Manager and Holidaying with Dogs. The Public Review and 5 Paw Rating will be viewable via the Listing for other Guests to read as part of their property search. Further detail about Guest Reviews and 5 Paw Ratings is available on the site. Please note that Holidaying with Dogs does not, and does not realistically have the ability to, verify the accuracy or otherwise of Guest Reviews. 

(5) Holidaying with Dogs requires all Guest Reviews, 5 Paw Ratings and Messages to conform to clause 22. ‘Content guidelines’T&C.

(6) Messages sent using the Holidaying with Dogs system are available for review by the Guest who originally sent them, to the Property Manager and to a limited number of Holidaying with Dogs employees.

(7) Enquiries submitted using the Holidaying with Dogs ask-a-question function (“Ask a Question”) are available for review by the Guest who originally sent them, to the Property Manager and to a limited number of Holidaying with Dogs employees. Holidaying with Dogs also monitors messages from time to time which are sent using the Holidaying with Dogs platform or systems. 

5. Bookings and Payments

5.1 Online bookings

(1) Booking requests are submitted using the Holidaying with Dogs website and provide the guest information, booking dates and total cost. Property Managers are responsible for responding to the enquiry within 24 hours by either accepting or declining the booking, or sending a message to the Guest.

(2) Each property has a ‘Booking Calendar’. It is the responsibility of the Property Manager to maintain and update bookings and availabilities. This can be done manually or through iCalendar synchronisation. 

(3) It is the responsibility of the Property Manager to ensure the dates are available before accepting a reservation. Holidaying with Dogs does not accept responsibility for any double bookings.

(4) Accepted bookings will be automatically confirmed and the total booking fee deducted from the Guests nominated card. By accepting a booking Property Managers are accepting and agreeing to the booking terms including the number of guests, dogs, check-in date, total number of nights, total booking fee and cancellation terms as per the booking request.  

(5) Declined bookings will automatically inform the Guest that the booking has not been successful.

5.2 Online payments

(1) Payments received from Guests will be held by Holidaying with Dogs on behalf of the Property Manager in a dedicated customer bank account until such time as the funds are remitted to the Property Manager or refunded to the Guest (if they are entitled to a refund. Refer to the Cancellation Policy and Procedure).  

(2) Following receipt of the full payment for a booking, Holidaying with Dogs will deduct the Commission from the total Booking Fee and the remainder of the full payment will be remitted to the Property Manager via the nominated payout method (“Payout Method”). Booking fee remittances will be made available to Property Manager after the Guest check-out date has passed.  These will be processed once a week to all eligible Property Managers. 

(3) The Booking Fee does not include any additional fees (“Additional Fee”) or bond (“Bond”), such as cleaning and therefore, commission will not be charged on these amounts.

(4) A Bond is held 48 hours prior to check-in and is fully refundable after a guest has checked-out of a property.  Property Managers will have 72 hours to advise Holidaying with Dogs of any damage to the property or if the Guest is in breach of the Property T&C and the cost of this damage.  If no notification has been received, the full Bond will be returned to the Guest in full.

(8) If the Holidaying with Dogs payment processing bank determines that an online payment credit card transaction is invalid, we will notify you that the booking is no longer confirmed.  Holidaying with Dogs will notify the Guest that their booking is no longer confirmed and of the process to update their payment information and re-book the property.

6. Listings

(1) The Site facilitates a standard Listing where one Property rental is displayed. If a Property Manager has multiple properties, you are required to create one standard Listing for each one.

(2) A card version of the Listing is shown on the Site in the form of a preview (“Listing Card”) with a picture of the Property, key dog friendly (“Dog-Friendly”) information, the per night standard price, 5 paw rating and the key map positioning in relation to the region and other search results with links to the full-page listing.

(3) Property Listing Cards are searched and displayed based on Holidaying with Dogs sort algorithm. Guests can also filter and sort search results using the sort options and edit/filter results provided on the Site.

(4) Holidaying with Dogs also uses Google Analytics to gather statistics on site usage. There are more details in the Privacy Policy and in Google’s own privacy policy. Google may aggregate data they collect from their various services including Google Analytics, Google Translate, Google Maps and other Google services including YouTube. The Property Manager accepts that Holidaying with Dogs has no control over Google’s data collection.

7. Booking changes, cancellations and refunds

(1)  The cancellation and refunds policy will be specific to each Property that you list. The cancellation policy (“Cancellation Policy”) level must be selected or created using the custom cancellation policy feature (“Custom Policy”) during the Property Listing process.  The Cancellation Policy can be edited at any time by the Property Manager in the Property Manager Dashboard.  Any changes made will only be applicable to future bookings, not those that have already been accepted and paid for. Please refer to the Cancellation Policy options for full details.

Maintenance works are therefore sometimes necessary, which can lead to restrictions on the Site. Holidaying with Dogs will, where possible, aim to ensure that maintenance of the Site that causes any such restriction is undertaken at a time when most Guests’ usage is least affected and that Property Managers will be notified prior to any such maintenance.

(4) Holidaying with Dogs may conduct identity checks and ask for proof to establish the existence and Property Management of a Property and the identification of a Property Manager. The Property Manager agrees promptly (and in any event within any period requested by Holidaying with Dogs) to supply to Holidaying with Dogs such proof of identity or of a Property’s existence or Property Management as Holidaying with Dogs requests. Each Property Manager acknowledges that failure to comply with any such request constitutes a breach of these Property Manager T&C.

Holidaying with Dogs will never ask Property Managers to disclose this data. If Property Managers are contacted by third parties and asked for login details, under no circumstances should they impart that data, but must immediately notify Holidaying with Dogs of the situation via email to [email protected].

Property Managers may include photographs featuring dogs with the express consent of the pets’ owners.

(10) We do not tolerate spam or unsolicited commercial electronic communications of any kind. It is prohibited to misuse Holidaying with Dogs systems, such as by sending unsolicited commercial communications (spam) or disclosing personal information of users to a third party, unless you have the express permission from the user.

(11) No Listing may be transferred to another party. In the event of a property sale or change in property management, Holidaying with Dogs will provide guidance on options for creating a new Listing.
