About the Service. The “Service” is a platform through which we provide information on physical properties managed, owned, licensed, leased, rented, and/or developed by us or any of our affiliates, including our subsidiaries (each a “Property” and collectively the “Properties”). You may use the Service to make legitimate reservations for certain Properties for short-term or longer-term rentals and to obtain from us our express permission for you to use such Properties for a certain period of time, in all cases, only in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The “Service” excludes any and all Properties, but includes services provided by us to you in connection with your permitted use of the Properties, whether you reserve such Properties directly from us or a third party.

The Service is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or applicable age in your country or jurisdiction) and children under 13 (or applicable age in your country or jurisdiction) should not use the Service. As a condition of your use of the Service, you agree that you are at least 18 years old or a duly organized, validly existing business, organization or other legal entity in good standing under the laws of the country you are established; you are able to create a binding legal obligation; and you are not barred from receiving products or services under applicable law. To access this Service, Service resources, links or other content, you may be asked to register an account, and provide certain registration details or other information.

Zencity retains the right, at our sole discretion, to deny service or use of the Service or an account to anyone at any time and for any reason. While we use reasonable efforts to keep the Service and your account accessible, the Service and/or your account may be unavailable from time to time. You understand and agree that there may be interruptions in service or events, Service access, or access to your account due to circumstances both within our control and outside of our control.
Applicable Use. You may use this Service only for purposes expressly permitted by this Agreement. As a condition of your use of Zencity's Service, you warrant to Zencity that you will not use the Service for any purpose that is unlawful, immoral, or otherwise prohibited by these terms, conditions, and notices. This Agreement is not a lease or residential tenancy agreement, and does not convey or otherwise transfer or provide any property, legal, or beneficial rights or interest in real estate to you. Unless otherwise agreed to by Zencity, you are not a tenant of, and have not been granted exclusive possession of, any of the Properties. For reservations of Properties lasting longer than twenty-four (24) days, Zencity may require Users enter into a sublease agreement.
Fees and Payment. Certain features of the Service may require you to pay fees. Before you pay any fees, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. All fees are non-refundable, unless expressly provided otherwise in writing by us.
Fees. We reserve the right to determine pricing for the Service and any products we offer for sale or Properties that you may reserve through the Service. We will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on our website up to date. We encourage you to check our website periodically for current pricing information. We may change any of this pricing information (including by adding applicable fees or charges) at any time prior to your completing a reservation and will give you notice of the applicable pricing information prior to completion of such reservation. We, in our sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any of our customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, will not apply to you or this Agreement.
Currency. If you request a reservation, you will be notified of the currency in which you will be charged. This currency will be determined by us based on the Applicable Payment Method (defined in Section 4.3) and the location of the Property that you are reserving. For your convenience and if the currency you will be charged in is not the same as the currency applicable in your country, we may provide you with an indication of how much the price would approximately be in your own currency. Such indication is merely indicative, not binding, and will depend on the applicable exchange rate of the day. You acknowledge that the applicable exchange rate used for currency conversion processing may not be identical to the applicable market rate in effect at the specific time such processing occurs because: (i) we update the applicable exchange rate on a regular, but not real-time, basis; and (ii) the applicable exchange rate may include an incremental cost or margin that is not included in the applicable market rate.

Additionally, if the Applicable Payment Method is a credit card, then: (a) we may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your reservation or purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your reservation or purchase, or any potential Damaged Property Fee that may apply; and (b) you authorize us to place a hold on such credit card for sums sufficient to cover any applicable Damaged Property Fee and any other fees that you owe us under this Agreement.

For any Period of Occupancy (defined in Section 9) less than twenty- eight (28) consecutive nights (“Short Term Stay”), we will charge all applicable sums for the reservations that you make through the Service at the time such reservations are requested. You may cancel a completed reservation at any time, subject to the version of our cancellation policy posted on our website and effective at the time your reservation was completed.

Our cancellation policy is available online. If you repeatedly cancel confirmed reservations, we reserve the right in our sole discretion to temporarily or permanently suspend or terminate your access to the Service. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IF YOU REQUEST OR COMPLETE A RESERVATION FOR ONE OF OUR PROPERTIES THROUGH A THIRD PARTY OR THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE, STRICTER CANCELLATION POLICIES MAY APPLY. PLEASE REVIEW SUCH THIRD PARTY POLICIES BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR RESERVATION REQUEST AND MAKE SURE YOU AGREE WITH THE APPLICABLE CANCELLATION PERIOD.

Alternative Accommodations.

If we are unable to find suitable alternative accommodations during this period, we will credit you with a full refund of pre-paid fees. If you do not accept a suitable alternative accommodation that we offer to you, then you are entitled to cancel the applicable reservation, any pre-paid fees will be refunded to you, and neither we nor any of our third-party suppliers will be liable to you for any further amounts relating to such reservation.
Modifications. You may be able to modify your reservation, subject to additional fees and charges, for example, by purchasing additional services and amenities (e.g., paid parking and extra cleaning services) or by modifying the applicable services or dates of your existing reservation.

You will have an opportunity to review and accept any additional fees and/or charges prior to modifying your reservation.
