    2. RedAwning shall host a Property-specific calendar (the “Property Calendar”) that shall enable users to view each Property’s availability and make Bookings conditioned on such user meeting any applicable requirements and/or conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the RedAwning Rental Agreement which can be found at https://www.redawning.com/content/rental-agreement (the “Rental Agreement”) and is incorporated herein by reference. Users that make Bookings are herein defined as “Guests”.
    3. RedAwning may also provide additional services to be agreed upon with Host under this Agreement.  Such services may include pricing optimization, photography services, phone service implementation, or other services as agreed to by both parties.  Any additional services performed by RedAwning, when available, and the related fees payable by the host, if any, shall be as specified in one or more Addenda entered into by both parties from time to time, and which by this reference are incorporated herein as though fully set forth, provided that the terms of the Addenda shall control conflicting terms in this Host Promotion Agreement.

Section 3:2:  RedAwning Services

  1. For Each Booking RedAwning shall:
    1. Collect and process in advance of any tenancy all required base rental amounts (“Base Rent”), cleaning and other required fees (together, “Host Fees”) (Host Fees and Base Rent, together, “Gross Rent”), any room-related taxes and assessments (together, “Taxes”), and any additional charges or fees for services, goods and benefits provided by RedAwning and/or third-party vendors or Channel Partners (together, “RedAwning Fees”) for the time period(s) selected by the Guest in accordance with (1) each Property’s then current Base Rent schedule established by Host and/or RedAwning, as the case may be, (2) applicable Tax regulations, and (3) the RedAwning Rental Policies (“Rental Policies”) set forth in the Rental Agreement, as such policies may be amended from time to time in RedAwning’s sole reasonable discretion;
    2. Provide the Host the Guest’s contact information received by RedAwning, such as email addresses and telephone number. Provide the Guest via email and the RedAwning mobile App Host’s contact information;
    3. Pay credit card services fees and process any refunds due to Guests for canceled Bookings in accordance with this Agreement and the Rental Policies;
    4. In the event RedAwning cannot collect all or any portion of the Gross Rent, Taxes and/or Fees from a Guest through an authorization against such Guest’s credit card, RedAwning shall use reasonable efforts to contact the Guest and collect in advance of the Booking commencement date alternative payment. If such Guest is unable or unwilling to pay all required amounts, the Booking shall be canceled according to its terms. 
    5. For each Booking, if applicable, perform the Repair Obligation in respect to Covered Damage as defined and described in Section 3.6.2 below.  

Section 3:3:  Rent Collection & Assignment

    1. RedAwning shall pay Host, as consideration for a confirmed Booking, the Gross Rent and Taxes collected by RedAwning, less the Participation Fee (as defined below), processing fees (processing fees are three percent (3%) of the Gross Rent and Taxes), and any amounts disputed by Guest (such adjusted amount, “Net Rent”). Host’s right to payment of Net Rent accrues if and only to the extent: (i) RedAwning collects the related Gross Rent, Taxes and fees; and (ii) Guest’s right, if any, to dispute any charge or receive any whole or partial refund thereof has expired or is terminated.
    2. Host hereby irrevocably assigns to RedAwning host’s right to collect and receive Gross Rent and Taxes from Guests for Bookings generated by the Services.  The agreement between the Host and RedAwning set forth in this section is strictly an assignment of a limited right to collect and receive Gross Rent and Taxes and does not result in RedAwning assuming any other rights or obligations of the Host in respect to the Properties.  Host acknowledges and agrees that this clause is strictly an assignment of a limited right to collect and receive Gross Rent and Taxes and does not result in RedAwning assuming any other right or obligation of Property Owner in respect to the Properties, except as otherwise provided by applicable law.
    3. RedAwning shall trigger Stripe Connect to remit to Host via ACH deposit accrued Net Rent due and payable by RedAwning to Host hereunder (a) the earlier of the first business day after Guest check out or five business (5) days after Guest check in; or (b) for stays where a Channel Partner such as Airbnb manages payments, the first business day after receipt by RedAwning of related payments from the Channel Partner; or (c) for long term stays, on a monthly basis in arrears. If any jurisdiction requires a Channel Partner or RedAwning to pay any portion, or all, of the Taxes related to a Booking directly to that jurisdiction due to marketplace facilitator or other laws, then RedAwning shall deduct such Taxes from payments to the Host and notify the Host of such amounts.
    4. Host acknowledges and agrees that RedAwning is only responsible for forwarding Net Rent via Stripe to Host. RedAwning is not responsible for any financial arrangements, tax liability or transfers between Host and any other entity, person or governmental authority with an interest in or right to all or any portion of the Property, Net Rent, Taxes, or other amount in any way related to the Property or Booking activities herein contemplated, including without limitation, any Host, owner association and/or taxing authority.
    5. If a Guest attempts at any time to dispute or chargeback, through its credit card issuer or otherwise, any payments previously collected in respect to a Booking, Host shall fully cooperate with RedAwning and Guest to promptly resolve such dispute. In the event such dispute results in the reimbursement of all or any portion of the disputed amounts, RedAwning and Host shall each contribute toward such reimbursement amount in the pro rata proportion of the amounts each party is entitled to receive in respect to the Gross Rent, Taxes and fees.
    6. Timely cancellations of Bookings shall result in (1) the return to the Guest by RedAwning of collected Gross Rent and Taxes amounts, if any, as provided in the Rental Agreement, and (2) distribution via Stripe Connect to Host of any non-refundable collected amounts net of the Participation Fee and processing fees (“Net Collections”). In all cases, for customer service and channel management purposes, RedAwning may allow Guests to cancel Bookings within two (2) business days of making a Booking without charge, even if that policy is inconsistent with the Rental Agreement or cancellation policy.
    7. RedAwning and its Channel Partners require that Guests be allowed to cancel their Bookings if there is a Force Majeure Event impacting multiple properties such as a (natural) disaster, hurricane, volcanic eruption, flood, national or local emergency, mandatory evacuation or other governmental order, terrorism, civil disorder, closure of airports or any other exception or catastrophic event, circumstance, or emergency.  In addition, some Channel Patners may offer Extenuating Circumstances Policies which may allow Guests to receive a partial or complete refund due to Guest-specific issues such as a death in the family or serious illness of a Guest.  In the event of any cancellation or refund due to any of these requirements, RedAwning and Host shall each contribute toward such reimbursement amount in the pro-rated proportion of the amounts each party is entitles to receive under this Agreement in respect to the Gross Rent, Taxes, and fees. 

Section 3:4:  Participation Fee

    1. In consideration of the Services herein provided, RedAwning shall receive a fee (the “Participation Fee”) for each Booking calculated as a percentage of the Gross Rent, as specified in the PA.  This participation fee shall be due and payable for all Bookings received or taken during the Term, including without limitation, Bookings through the Services, including the Host Website, and Bookings taken or received by the Host directly over the phone, via email, or through any website owned and/or operated by the Host other than the Host Website and whether or not connected to the Services, made personally by a Guest or through any other means or methods.  

Section 3:5:  Channel Marketing Fee

    1. RedAwning shall pay any fees related to Bookings taken via channel and distribution partners, including Bookings taken via RedAwning Websites (“Channel Marketing Fees”) as part of the Services, and such Channel Marketing Fees shall be added to the prices paid by Guests on such channels.  Channel Marketing Fees for channel partners, such as Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, Vrbo, and others, shall be the actual fees paid to such channels for marketing and distribution.  

Section 3:6:  Rent Collection & Assignment

    1. Program Description
      1. As a convenience and inducement to Guests to rent the Properties, Host has agreed in the Property Rental Agreement with each Guest of a Property promoted by RedAwning via the Services to a partial waiver and release (the “Waiver”) of the Guest from liability for timely submitted claims solely and specifically limited to damage to the Property caused by the unintentional, non-breaching acts or omissions of the Guest or its authorized guests (the “Covered Damage”) in an amount not to exceed three thousand United States dollars (US $3,000) (the “Damage Protection Cap”). In exchange for the Waiver, the Guest is paying a fee set by RedAwning in its sole discretion that is included as a RedAwning Fee for purposes of this Agreement.
    2. Repair Obligation 

      1. For and in exchange for the payment of the RedAwning Fee, RedAwning hereby agrees to repair or replace the Covered Damage to the Property, and to indemnify Host for the related actual direct costs of such repair or replacement (together, the “Repair Obligation”); provide in no event shall the Repair Obligation of RedAwning for a single Booking exceed the Damage Protection Cap.

Section 3:7:  Host Obligations

Host shall perform the following obligations:

  1. Review and periodically update as necessary the Property Description information for each Property for use on the Property Pages. Host may also include for display on the Property Pages, when available, recent digital images of each Property (together, ”Photos”). RedAwning may also include digital images of such Property taken by RedAwning sourced photographers (together, “RA Photos”). The Property Description and Photos shall be at all times accurate, truthful, up to date and not misleading in all material respects and both RedAwning and Guests shall have the right to rely on such data in all matters in any way related to Bookings and the Services hereunder.
  2. In respect to each Booking Host shall provide to RedAwning at least seven (7) days in advance the check-in information for each Guest and deliver the Property in arrival-ready condition upon Guest’s arrival (Booking commencement date), including without limitation, fresh linens and a professional standard of cleanliness. 
  3. All Property appliances, utilities and advertised amenities must be fully functioning and operating at 100% capacity. The Property and contents must meet applicable governmental and industry hygiene, security, safety and fire regulations and standards. If the Property is deemed uninhabitable for safety, hygiene or maintenance reasons and Guest must be relocated to an alternative property, Host must pay for all related relocation expenses, including any additional rental charges. If the Property is technically habitable, but is not fully consistent with the representations on the Property Page or does not meet reasonable expectations, Guest is entitled to financial compensation from Host in an amount to be negotiated in good faith by RedAwning and Guest, in RedAwning's sole discretion on Host's behalf. Host shall reimburse RedAwning such compensation amount via a credit to Host’s Stripe Connect account.
  4. Review and timely modify or update as necessary the Base Rent schedule and dynamic pricing set by RedAwning on Host's behalf for each Property including the cleaning fees, applicable Taxes, if any, and such additional fees and payments to be withheld from and/or paid by a Guest of the Property.  Guests and RedAwning shall each have the right to rely on the most recent Base Rent schedule in, respectively, renting each Property and performing the Services as herein contemplated.  Host will honor the rates presented to Guests via such programs.
  5. Pay when due all required Taxes, fees, assessments and other costs, if any, related to each Property, including any Bookings sourced through the Services.
  6. Establish and continuously update as necessary, the Property Calendars, including without limitation, entering the dates each Property is not available for Bookings for any reason whatsoever (together, “Black-Out Dates”), including for the use thereof by Host or other third-parties. Host shall enter each Black-Out Date on the Property Calendar immediately as it becomes known to the Host. In the event Host’s failure to perform in accordance with this Section 4 results in a scheduling conflict between a Booking and a Black-Out Date, the Booking shall supersede and take precedence over the Black-Out Date. In no event may the Host cancel a Booking otherwise properly made by a Guest for personal use, including use by a Host, their friends or family members.   
  7. Notify RedAwning immediately in the event (i) any Booking conflicts with a Black-Out Date, (ii) any issue, question, concern or dispute arises or is made known to Host in respect to a Property, a Booking, a Guest or any other matter in respect to the Services, or (iii) of a casualty adversely affecting a Property subject to a Booking.  RedAwning considers all Bookings confirmed at the time of Booking.  Every effort should be made to accommodate all Bookings.  Should a Host cancellation be necessary it will be subject to a $250 cancellation fee as well as any relocation fees charged by a Channel Partner.  This fee shall not apply if the Host is able to relocate the Guest to a comparable property. 
  8. Notify RedAwning, within 24 hours following the expiration or earlier termination of a Booking term (i) of any reasons to hold all or any part of any payment to Host instead of refunding same to Guest, and (ii) of any Covered Damage or other claims to be submitted. In all instances, RedAwning shall have the right to rely on Host’s instructions in respect to collected payments and refunds. 
  9. Promptly respond to, and use reasonable, good faith efforts to timely resolve, any Guest complaint within 6 hours of notice thereof. Such notice may be from Guest or RedAwning. If a Host is unwilling or unable to timely resolve a Guest complaint, then RedAwning may, but is not obligated to, in its sole reasonable discretion investigate and resolve the complaint on behalf of Host, including reimbursement of an amount equal to all or any portion of the Gross Rent collected from the Guest (less the Participation Fee), which amount Host hereby acknowledges and agrees RedAwning may deduct by way of credit memo from any sums then or thereafter due Host hereunder, regardless of source.
  10. RedAwning may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate the Services in respect to a Property due to Guest complaints and notify Guests of all pending Bookings of such Property of RedAwning’s election to terminate or suspend the Services, as the case may be, and Host hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold RedAwning harmless from any claims or liability arising from or related to such suspension or termination.
  11. At all times maintain the Properties in good, clean and habitable condition and in conformance with all applicable international, foreign, federal, state, local and association laws, regulations, ordinances, rules and covenants (together, “Laws”). In furtherance of this Section 3.7.5, Host shall enter into and maintain, and timely pay and perform when due, its duties under, contracts with such third-party service providers to the Properties, including by way of example only, utilities, waste disposal, house cleaning and yard maintenance services, as may be necessary or required to satisfy its obligations hereunder.
  12. At all times during the term hereof, insure that for each Property, Host maintains sufficient, appropriate and customary types and amounts of insurance relating to each Property including: (1) general property damage insurance covering fire, flood and/or other casualty on a per occurrence basis; (2) liability for bodily injury on a per occurrence basis; and (3) comprehensive general liability insurance.

  13. Upon RedAwning’s request, provide proof to RedAwning’s reasonable satisfaction of Host’s sole right, license and authority to rent each Property to third parties, enter into this Agreement to effect such rentals through RedAwning, and receive Net Rents as herein contemplated.
  14. Maintain at all times accurate and complete contact information on the applicable Website and/or RedAwning administration page(s), including without limitation, Host’s name, full street and, if different, postal address(es), email address, daytime and evening phone numbers, and cell phone number.

    1. immediately relocate Guest to an alternative accommodation in relatively close proximity to the Property having comparable size, quality, appointment and amenities to the Property (an “Alternative Property”) at no additional cost to Guest; or
    2. return an amount equal to the Gross Rent for that period remaining in the Booking period as of the date of the Property casualty; provided, that Host’s obligation to relocate Guest to an Alternative Property is enforceable only to the extent such accommodation is then reasonably available (cost is not a factor in determining the availability of an Alternative Property).
  2. In the event a Property is sold during the term of this Agreement,
    1. the purchaser thereof must honor all Bookings pending as of the sale closing date; or in the alternative
    2. Host shall secure a comparable or better Alternative Property for each Guest affected by such sale at no additional cost to Guest.
