OUR SERVICES.
-
Services Overview. Our Services include the online networks and services that (a) connect individuals seeking campsite information, events, and reservations (“Campers”) with resources about camping, campsites, events, mobile homes and camping vans (“Vehicle(s)”), and other land or property suitable for use in connection with camping (each, a “Property”); (b) allow individuals or entities that own or otherwise have the authority to make available a Property (each, a “Landowner”) to make their Property available to Campers through a posted advertisement for such Property on the Services (each, a “Listing”); and (b) allow Campers to make reservations for access to and use of Property in accordance with the terms provided by the Landowner (each, a “Booking”). These Terms of Use apply to both Campers and Landowners and their use of the Services. If you are a Landowner, the Landowner Terms of Use also apply to your use of the Services.
-
-
Booking. This Agreement shall govern any Booking. There may be additional terms and conditions that apply to any request for a Booking (each, a “Booking Request”) or a Booking that you make, including policies that are set by the applicable Landowner that owns or manages such Property (“Property Rules”). These Property Rules may be set forth on the Service or otherwise communicated to you via a Booking confirmation email. Your ability to make a Booking for any Property is subject to: (i) availability of the Property; and (ii) payment of all fees and charges incurred in reserving and/or using the Property. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, you must settle all fees and charges incurred in reserving and/or using the Property prior to your use of the Property. A Booking is not confirmed until you have received written confirmation of the same through the Service.
-
Property Terms and Conditions. You agree to comply with all applicable Property Rules and applicable laws, rules, regulations, and local ordinances in connection with your use of the Service and any Booking. You understand that a violation of Property Rules may result in cancellation of your Booking(s), in your being denied access to any Booking, or in your forfeiting any monies paid for such reservation(s). You hereby authorize us to debit or charge your account (via the method of payment associated with your account) for any costs we incur as a result of such violation (including any property damage or physical injury you cause). Hipcamp may at any time require that you agree to Supplemental Terms prior to booking certain types of Properties.

Damage to Property. You are responsible for leaving the Property in the condition it was in when you arrived. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for: (i) your own acts and omissions in connection with any Property; and (ii) the acts and omissions of any third parties to whom you provide access to the Property, including without limitation any guests or invitees.
-
Temporary Access. A Booking is a temporary grant of access to a Property for a limited term, and shall not be considered to convey a tenancy, leasehold, ownership interest, or any right of access in and to the Property beyond the term for which a Camper initially made such Booking. As a Camper, you acknowledge and agree that you have no, and will obtain no, rights in or to any Property and you represent and warrant that (i) you will not exceed the term of any Booking without the Landowner’s prior written consent; and (ii) you will not assert or attempt to assert any ownership interest in any Property arising from or related to a Booking.

Insurance. Hipcamp may provide primary liability insurance for certain Landowners. Campers agree not to look to any such insurance for coverage.

You are fully responsible for paying any damages not covered by our insurance, as well as insurance deductibles, fees, expenses, liens and fines arising out of your use or occupation of the Property. As further described in Section 1.2(f) below, such primary liability insurance does not and shall not apply to any Vehicle
-
Vehicles. When you make a Booking of a Vehicle, you acknowledge and agree that Hipcamp shall have no liability to you in connection with such Booking, including without limitation with respect to any claim arising from or related to your operation of such Vehicle, damage to such Vehicle, damage caused by or in connection with your operation of such Vehicle, or otherwise. Each Landowner is solely responsible for obtaining commercial insurance for such Landowner’s Vehicle and providing such commercial insurance for such Vehicle to any Camper that makes a Booking for such Vehicle. Local law may require a license or other permit to operate a Vehicle in addition to any requirements set forth in the Property Rules. Hipcamp shall have no liability in connection with a Camper’s license or permit, or failure to obtain the same.

TERMS APPLICABLE TO US USERS. If you live in the United States, this section applies to you.
-
Governing law, Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement is governed by California law, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles, except as may be otherwise provided in the Arbitration Agreement section of this Agreement. However, the governing law provision regarding the interpretation of this Agreement is not intended to create any other substantive right to residents of other states or territories to assert claims under California law, whether that be by statute, common law, or otherwise. This section is only intended to specify the use of California law to interpret this Agreement. Both you and Hipcamp agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement (and any Supplemental Terms unless expressly otherwise set forth in such Supplemental Terms) that are not subject to arbitration per this Agreement will be resolved exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California or a state court located in San Francisco County, and you hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction thereof.
-
Arbitration Agreement. You and Hipcamp agree to the arbitration and dispute resolution terms in this section (the “Arbitration Agreement”). For the purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, references to “Hipcamp,” “you,” “we” and “us” include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, employers, partners, shareholders, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns, and heirs. We encourage you to carefully read these important terms, which include a requirement that claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (and any Supplemental Terms unless expressly otherwise set forth in such Supplemental Terms) shall be brought individually and subject to arbitration, subject to the exceptions in Section 16.2(a), Section 16.2(b), and Section 16.2(c), and include instructions for how to opt out if you do not agree.
-
Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Hipcamp may bring an individual action in small claims court.
-
Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Hipcamp may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.
-
Claims not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
-
Applicability. You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Services (including without limitation any Landowner Services), or to any aspect of your relationship with Hipcamp, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert certain qualifying claims in small claims court in accordance with the terms above.
-
Arbitration rules and forum. This Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that notwithstanding the provision above with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq. (“FAA”) will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings. If for whatever reason the FAA is inapplicable, the state law governing arbitration agreements in the state in which you reside shall apply. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Hipcamp, Inc., 2261 Market Street #4139 San Francisco CA, 94114. Your letter must include (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, and e‐mail address of the party seeking arbitration and the Account username, if any, as well as the email address associated with the Account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good‐faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States Dollars; (4) the party’s portion of the applicable filing fee. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/. All other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you can’t afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing, and/or other fees and can’t obtain a waiver from JAMS, Hipcamp will pay them for you. In addition, Hipcamp will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims, such amounts totalling less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you reside, or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
-
Authority of arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (i) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (ii) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The exceptions to the preceding sentence are (1) all disputes arising out of or relating to the class action waiver, including any claim that all or part of the class action waiver is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or such class action waiver has been breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (2) all disputes arising out of or relating to the payment of arbitration fees shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; and (3) all disputes arising out of or relating to whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Hipcamp. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
-
Waiver of jury trial. YOU AND HIPCAMP HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provision remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
-
Waiver of class or other non-individualized relief. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CAN’T BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the federal or state court located in San Francisco, California. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
-
30-day right to opt out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of these Terms that mandate arbitration by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: Hipcamp, Inc., 2261 Market Street #4139 San Francisco CA, 94114, within 30 days after first becoming subject to a version of these Terms containing an arbitration provision. Your notice must include your name and address, your Hipcamp username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of arbitration, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of arbitration has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter into in the future, with us.
-
Severability. Except as provided in Section 16.2(h) (Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
-

OUR SERVICES.
-
Services Overview. Our Services include the online networks and services that (a) connect individuals seeking campsite information, events, and reservations (“Campers”) with resources about camping, campsites, events, mobile homes and camping vans (“Vehicles”), and other land or property suitable for use in connection with camping (each, a “Property”); (b) allow individuals or entities that own or otherwise have the authority to make available a Property (each, a “Landowner”) to make their Property available to Campers through a posted advertisement for such Property on the Services (each, a “Listing”); and (b) allow Campers to make reservations for access to and use of Property in accordance with the terms provided by the Landowner (each, a “Booking”). These Terms of Use apply to both Campers and Landowners and their use of the Services, except that in some areas, you will have different rights depending on whether you are a Camper (acting as a consumer) or a Landowner (acting as a business). If you are a Landowner, the Landowner Terms of Use also apply to your use of the Services.
-
Terms Applicable to Campers.
-
Booking. This Agreement shall govern any Booking. There may be additional terms and conditions that apply to any request for a Booking (each, a “Booking Request”) or a Booking that you make, including policies that are set by the applicable Landowner that owns or manages such Property (“Property Rules”). These Property Rules may be set forth on the Service or otherwise communicated to you via a Booking confirmation email. Your ability to make a Booking for any Property is subject to: (i) availability of the Property; and (ii) payment of all fees and charges incurred in reserving and/or using the Property. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, you must settle all fees and charges incurred in reserving and/or using the Property prior to your use of the Property. A Booking is not confirmed until you have received written confirmation of the same through the Service.
-
Property Terms and Conditions. You agree to comply with all applicable Property Rules and applicable laws, rules, regulations, and local ordinances in connection with your use of the Service and any Booking. You understand that a violation of Property Rules may result in cancellation of your Booking(s) or in your being denied access to any Booking. Hipcamp may at any time require that you agree to Supplemental Terms prior to booking certain types of Properties.
-
Damage to Property. You are responsible for leaving the Property in the condition it was in when you arrived. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for: (i) your own acts and omissions in connection with any Property; and (ii) the acts and omissions of any third parties to whom you provide access to the Property, including without limitation any guests or invitees.
-
Temporary Access. A Booking is a temporary grant of access to a Property for a limited term, and shall not be considered to convey a tenancy, leasehold, ownership interest, or any right of access in and to the Property beyond the term for which a Camper initially made such Booking. As a Camper, you acknowledge and agree that you have no, and will obtain no, rights in or to any Property and you represent and warrant that (i) you will not exceed the term of any Booking without the Landowner’s prior written consent; and (ii) you will not assert or attempt to assert any ownership interest in any Property arising from or related to a Booking.
-
Insurance. Hipcamp may provide primary liability insurance for certain Landowners. Campers agree not to look to any such insurance for coverage. Hipcamp may provide certain liability insurance and protection against property damage for the Landowners as described in this Agreement and in the Hipcamp Insurance Policy and Property Protection Plan. As further described in Section 1.2(F) below, such primary liability insurance does not and shall not apply to any Vehicle.
-
Vehicles. When you make a Booking of a Vehicle, you acknowledge and agree that each Landowner is solely responsible for obtaining commercial insurance for such Landowner’s Vehicle and providing such commercial insurance for such Vehicle to any Camper that makes a Booking for such Vehicle. Local law may require a license or other permit to operate a Vehicle in addition to any requirements set forth in the Property Rules. Hipcamp shall have no liability in connection with a Camper’s insurance, license or permit, or failure to obtain the same.

Hipcamp Landowner Terms of Use
These Landowner Terms of Use (the “Landowner Terms”), in addition to the Hipcamp Terms of Use (the “Hipcamp Terms” and, together with the Landowner Terms, the “Agreement”), govern your rights and responsibilities related to your use of Hipcamp’s Landowner Services. Capitalized words used but not defined in these Landowner Terms have the meanings set forth in the Hipcamp Terms. These Landowner Terms apply to Landowner Services worldwide.
LANDOWNER SERVICES FOR HIPCAMP
“Landowner Services” are those services offered or otherwise made available by Hipcamp and its affiliates and subsidiaries to individuals or entities that own or have the authority to make available a Property and desire to create Listings for such Property on Hipcamp Properties, including without limitation existing Landowners.
By using the Landowner Services, you agree that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Landowner Terms, which together with the underlying Hipcamp Terms, constitute a legally binding contract. If you are accepting these Landowner Terms and using the Landowner Services on behalf of a company, partnership, organization, sole proprietorship or other legal entity (a “Business”), you represent and warrant that you are authorized to do so and have the authority to bind such Business to these Landowner Terms, in which case the words “you” and “your” as used in this Agreement shall refer to such Business. If you do not agree to these Landowner Terms, or do not have the authorization and authority referred to above, then you are not allowed to use the Landowner Services.
ANY AGREEMENT YOU ENTER INTO WITH A CAMPER, WHETHER IN CONNECTION WITH A BOOKING OR OTHERWISE, IS SOLELY BETWEEN YOU AND SUCH CAMPER, AND HIPCAMP IS NOT AND SHALL NOT BE A PARTY THERETO.
-
Listings. If you wish to list a Property as a Landowner, you may create a Listing of that Property either: (a) directly on the Services, by answering a variety of questions about it, selecting a cancellation policy in accordance with our then-current Booking Cancellation Policy and providing the Property Rules and pricing for such Listing, in each case in accordance with the functionality of the Services; or (b) providing the foregoing information into a property management software application that is integrated with Hipcamp (“PMS Application”). If you provide information for a Listing through a PMS Application, you hereby authorize to use such information for the purposes of the Listing and you agree that your account with the PMS Application is a Third-Party Account, and the information you provide through such Third-Party Account, is Registration Data and Your Content, for the purposes of the Hipcamp Terms. Listings are made publicly available on our Website. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for any and all Listings you post through either mechanism and you are responsible for keeping such Listings accurate and up-to-date. We reserve the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Listing or integration with any PMS Application for any reason.
-
Availability. You can set your own schedule of availability for your Property.
-
Accepting or Rejecting Booking Requests. You may be able to accept or reject Booking Requests through the Services in accordance with the then-current functionality of the Services. We may make tools available to you to help you to make informed decisions about which Booking Requests you confirm; however, you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for determining which Booking Request you accept or reject.
-
Pricing.
-
Listing Prices. You are solely responsible for setting the price for any Listing of your Property. However, once a Camper makes a Booking Request for such Property, you may not modify such price in connection with such Booking Request. Once you accept a Booking Request or receive a Booking through Instant Book, the terms of such Booking, including payment terms, are binding on you.
-
European Property Prices. When you create a Listing for a Property located in the United Kingdom or European Union (a “European Property”), you covenant and agree that the price you set for a Listing of your European Property (excluding any adjustments to such price resulting from the then-current functionality of the Services) will be the same as or lower than the price you offer end users of your own website or third-party websites for such European Property.
-
Landowner Services Fees. You will be responsible for payment of the applicable fee or commission for any Landowner Services (each, a “Landowner Services Fee”) at the time such fees are incurred or otherwise as set forth on or in connection with your use of the applicable Landowner Service. Landowner Service Fees will be communicated to you at the time you sign up for the applicable Landowner Services, and may be subject to change from time to time upon prior notice to Landowners. Except as set forth in the Agreement, all fees for the Landowner Services are non-refundable. No contract will exist between you and Hipcamp for the Landowner Services until we accept your order by a confirmatory e-mail, in-app message, or other appropriate means of communication.
-
-
Payments for Landowners.
-
Payments. When a Camper makes a Booking, except as set forth in Section 5(b) below, Hipcamp shall collect payment for such Booking from the Camper on behalf of the applicable Landowner and shall remit such amounts (less any applicable Landowner Services Fees or other applicable taxes and fees) to Landowner in accordance with Hipcamp’s then-current policies and procedures.
-
Payments for European Properties. When a Camper makes a Booking for a European Property, any Landowner Services Fee payable to Hipcamp by Landowner in connection with such Booking will be invoiced to Landowner and automatically collected by Hipcamp, in accordance with such invoice and Hipcamp’s then-current policies and procedures.
-
Appointment as Limited Payments Agent. In connection with payments processed by Hipcamp under these Landowner Terms, Landowner hereby appoints Hipcamp as Landowner’s limited payment collection agent for the limited purpose of accepting payments from Camper(s) on behalf of such Landowner. Hipcamp will process such payments and settle payments that are actually received by Hipcamp to Landowner, less any amounts owed to Landowner, including taxes, fees, and other obligations, and subject to the terms of this Agreement. Landowner agrees that a payment received by Hipcamp on behalf of Landowner satisfies the Camper’s obligation to make payment to Landowner, regardless of whether Hipcamp actually settles such payment to Landowner. If Hipcamp does not settle any such payments as described in this Agreement to Landowner, Landowner will have recourse only against Hipcamp and not the Camper, as payment is deemed made by Camper to Landowner upon constructive or actual receipt by Hipcamp. In accepting this appointment as Landowner’s limited payments agent, Hipcamp assumes no liability for any acts or omission by Landowner, and Landowner understands that Hipcamp’s obligation to settle funds to Landowner is subject to and conditional upon the Camper’s actual payment.
-
Payment Processing. Payment processing services for Landowners are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). By agreeing to these Landowner Terms, or continuing to operate as a Landowner, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, including any fees associated therewith, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of Hipcamp enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide Hipcamp accurate and complete information about you and your Business, and you authorize Hipcamp to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.
-
-
Compliance. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR UNDERSTANDING AND COMPLYING WITH THE LAWS IN THE JURISDICTION OF YOUR PROPERTY. SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY REQUIRE REGISTRATION AND CERTAIN LICENSING AND PERMITS IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERING OF YOUR PROPERTY THROUGH A LISTING OR OTHER USE OF THE SERVICE. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL SUCH COMPLIANCE. You represent and warrant that any Listing you post and any subsequent Booking (and use) of a Property: (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third party, such as lease or rental agreements, and (ii) will (a) comply with all applicable laws, tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to such Property (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (b) not conflict with the rights of any third party. Hipcamp assumes no responsibility for your compliance with any agreements with or duties to (y) third parties; or (z) applicable laws, rules and regulations. PLEASE REVIEW ALL APPLICABLE LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS BEFORE USING THE LANDOWNER SERVICES AND/OR LISTING A PROPERTY.
-
Insurance.
-
Properties. Except with respect to Vehicles as provided in Section 7(b), you understand and agree that Hipcamp may provide certain liability insurance and protection against property damage for Approved Landowners (as defined below) as described in our Hipcamp Insurance Policy and Property Protection Plan insurance policies. If an Approved Landowner discovers damage to such Approved Landowner’s Property, the damage must be reported immediately to Hipcamp Support at https://hipca.mp/support. Hipcamp’s insurance policies do not cover all types of physical damage losses on any Property. Accordingly, we recommend you obtain appropriate insurance for your Property. Please 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 Campers on your Property and any injuries to such Campers.
-
Vehicles. If you offer a Vehicle on the Hipcamp Services, you, as the host, or an authorized representative acting on behalf of the host, shall be exclusively responsible for providing commercial rental insurance coverage for any reservation of your vehicles through Hipcamp UK. You shall carry no less than the minimum applicable liability and/or physical damage automobile insurance for your vehicle, your Camper, and his/her/their authorized drivers. You represent and warrant that: (1) you are a licensed commercial rental car company or are authorized to act on behalf of and bind a commercial rental car company in connection with listing vehicles on Hipcamp; or (2) you are an individual or company, or are authorized to act on behalf of, and bind a company, that can offer commercial rental car insurance to Campers. You further acknowledge and agree that you shall receive no protection or coverage from Hipcamp or any affiliates, whether that be financial responsibility for physical damage, third-party liability protection, uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, PIP or any similar coverage or indemnification, roadside assistance, or trust and safety support as part of a booking of your Vehicle. You shall add Hipcamp UK Limited as an additional insured on all applicable automobile and excess liability policies. If you lose the ability to offer commercial rental insurance to your Campers (for example, your policy has been canceled or nonrenewed), you are immediately ineligible to rent Vehicles through Hipcamp Materials until such insurance is replaced or reinstated.

Relationship with Landowners. You acknowledge and agree that Hipcamp’s responsibilities to you are limited to: (i) facilitating the availability of the Website and Services in accordance with the Agreement and (ii) serving as the limited payment collection agent of Landowners in certain instances for the sole purpose of accepting payments from Campers on behalf of the Landowners of such amounts stipulated by the Landowners. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or should be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, or employer-employee relationship between Hipcamp and you. You will take no position with respect to or on any tax return or application for benefits, or in any proceeding directly or indirectly involving Hipcamp that is inconsistent with your being an independent contractor (and not an employee) of Hipcamp. You are not the agent of Hipcamp and you are not authorized, and must not represent to any third party that you are authorized, to make any commitment or otherwise act on behalf of Hipcamp. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
-
You are not entitled to or eligible for any benefits that Hipcamp may make available to its employees, such as group insurance, profit-sharing or retirement benefits. Because you are an independent contractor, Hipcamp will not withhold or make payments for social security or payroll taxes of any kind, make unemployment insurance or disability insurance contributions, or obtain workers’ compensation insurance on your behalf, nor will you be entitled to any of the foregoing. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, you are reclassified as an employee of Hipcamp, or any affiliate of Hipcamp, by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Department of Labor, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), or any other federal, national, state or foreign agency (in each case, as applicable) as the result of any administrative or judicial proceeding, you agree that you will not, as the result of such reclassification, be entitled to or eligible for, on either a prospective or retrospective basis, any employee benefits under any plans or programs established or maintained by Hipcamp. In addition, you waive any and all rights, if any, to participation in any of the fringe benefit plans or programs including, but not limited to, health, sickness, accident or dental coverage, life insurance, disability benefits, severance, accidental death and dismemberment coverage, unemployment insurance coverage, workers’ compensation coverage, and pension or 401(k) benefit(s) provided by Hipcamp to its employees.
-
You are solely responsible for filing all tax returns and submitting all payments as required by any federal, state, local, or foreign tax authority arising from payments to you under this Agreement, and you agree to do so in a timely manner. If applicable, Hipcamp will report the payments paid to you under this Agreement by filing any forms, including Internal Revenue Service forms, as required by applicable law. You will comply with all applicable federal, state, local, and foreign laws governing self-employed individuals, including laws requiring the payment of taxes, such as income and employment taxes, and social security, disability and other contributions.

Disclaimers.
-
You are solely responsible for your own acts and omissions and the acts and omissions of any individuals who are otherwise present on the Property at your request or invitation, excluding any Campers and the invited guests of such Campers.
-
Verification of Landowner’s identity online is not free from error. Hipcamp does not assume liability for the confirmation of any Landowner’s identity.
-
Hipcamp may utilize a third party service provider to conduct identity verification or background checks on any Landowner. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Hipcamp disclaims any warranties, express or implied, that such third party checks will accurately identify prior criminal misconduct by a Landowner.
-
YOU AND HIPCAMP AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES OR THE HIPCAMP MATERIALS MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT HIPCAMP PARTIES ARE NOT LIABLE, AND YOU AGREE NOT TO SEEK TO HOLD HIPCAMP PARTIES LIABLE, FOR THE CONDUCT OR OPERATION OF ANY PMS APPLICATION OR HIPCAMP’S INTEGRATION WITH IT, INCLUDING ANY DOWNTIME, UNAVAILABILITY, INACCURACIES, ERRORS OR DELAYS CAUSED BY ANY PMS APPLICATION OR THE INTEGRATION WITH ANY PMS APPLICATION.

The Policy the Landowner has selected will appear in the ‘Details’ section of the applicable Listing. A Camper will also see the Policy again, and acknowledge and agree to such Policy, immediately before confirming such Camper’s Booking or Booking Request.
The Check-In corresponds to the 'check in' time the Landowner has selected as set forth in a Listing. For example, if a Listing’s 'check in after' time is 2pm and the Landowner has selected a Flexible Cancellation Policy, a Camper will get a full refund if the Camper cancels their Booking before 2pm the day before Check-In. If the Camper cancels at 5pm the day before the Check-In, there will be no refund.
