Appendix 6: Cancellation of Services

Before cancelling services please review and confirm understanding of the following contractual clauses agreed to at the time you became a client of Vacay Rental Management.

Section 21.1 This Agreement may be terminated by Host or Owner at any time after the Period from which Manager and Owner agreed the Service term would last (the “Probationary Period”) with or without cause provided at least 30 days prior written notice is delivered by the terminating party to the other party. Any Reservations in existence and not yet commenced (the “Future Reservations”) shall be at the sole decision by Manager to manage. Manager shall have the right but not the duty to remove the Online Listing(s) and take no further Reservations thereafter. Shall Owner elect to cause those Future Reservations to be cancelled or shall Manager elect not to manage the Future Reservations, then the Reservation Cancellation clause(s) shall apply to each and every affected Reservation.

Section 21.6 Unless otherwise agreed upon by the Parties, in the event Manager elects to list Owner’s property on a Subscription based website (homeaway.com, VRBO.com, e.g.) and such Subscription Plan is paid by Manager (the “Subscription Amount”), and shall this Agreement be terminated prior to a one year term in which at least the greater of 10 months or 300 days is available for Manager to secure Reservation for the Property, Manager shall be reimbursed its full cost of the Subscription Amount. Additional early-termination fees may apply.

Section 23 Early Termination. Shall Owner elect to terminate Manager within the first 60 days from the Effective Date, for reasons other than gross negligence or wanton, willful disregard for Owner’s property or Guests by Manager, then Owner shall pay to Manager a termination fee of $2,000 to cover such costs including but not limited to as positioning the property, arranging professional photography, optimizing the Listing, providing sound and experienced advice and counsel as to the disposition of the Property and generally performing those initial and start up tasks to best position Owner’s Property. Any actual Reservations in progress or confirmed but not yet commenced, may be cancelled at Manager’s election and the gross booking total as paid by Guest shall be compensated by Owner to Manager. Manager reserves the rights to make attempts to place Guests at another Property and Owner shall not be entitled to any proceeds of that arrangement. Likewise, Manager may elect to NOT cancel reservations already in existence in which instance Owner agrees to allow those reservations to continue and Manager shall be compensated in full. Should Manager be forced to cancel reservations already in existence due to Owner's early termination, then the Reservation Cancellation provision(s) shall apply herein. To the extent any of the above fees are deemed to be liquidated damages, Vacay Rental Management and Owner agree the amount stated is reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of the execution of this Agreement.

Section 6.5 Reservation Cancellation. Shall Owner cause Vacay Rental Management to have to cancel any Reservation or multiple Reservations for any reason except as noted in below (“Extenuating Circumstances”), then owner shall pay to Vacay Rental Management the larger amount of the total reservation(s) cost being cancelled or $2,500 US per each canceled reservation. This fee shall compensate Vacay Rental Management for the negative impact a cancellation has on its online ranking, for all efforts taken in booking the reservation, for all efforts undertaken to prepare the home and the Guest prior to the cancellation, for all efforts taken in notifying and preparing the Guest after the cancellation, and to compensate Vacay Rental Management for its time and resources in unwinding and rectifying any damage to its online and offline reputation for creating a cancelled reservation. A cancellation shall be defined as any Reservation that does not take place at the Property contracted between the Parties. Therefore, shall Owner terminate Vacay Rental Management or otherwise cause Vacay Rental Management to alter, cancel, modify, or in any way cause a Reservation(s) to not take place at Owner’s Property, then a Cancellation has occurred. Vacay Rental Management shall not be required to find alternative accommodations for an affected Guest. Owner further agrees and acknowledges that any termination of Manager shall allow Manager to withhold and/or deduct the greater of $2,500 (per occurrence) or total reservation(s) cost, from an Owner Payout for the Owner Payout month in which the termination occurs, even if the terminated Reservations in the future are in future months. A termination of Manager in which future Reservations have yet to occur shall likewise be considered terminated unless otherwise agreed upon by the Parties. Owner agrees that any termination of Manager, that results in future Reservation Cancellations, shall be a violation of this Agreement and subject to the terms above if due to the bad acts, damage, or maintenance issues, intentional, negligent or otherwise caused by a Guest or a visitor to the Property of a Guest, unless such acts result in the complete and total uninhabitability of the Property.

In short, the best way to cancel for all parties is and avoid the charges above:

1. ensure we have at least worked 90 days together and

2. ensure there are no future reservations for your home, however

3. if there are future reservations then we can:

1. stop taking any new bookings but honor those future bookings already in existence or

2. continue taking reservations between now and the last reservation already confirmed, but agree to take no new reservations

Absent taking the above steps, Owner will be liable for all charges outlined in the selected sections above, as well as any other that may be applicable per the Terms and Conditions found at www.vacayrentalmanagement.com.

To proceed with cancellation, please fill out the form found here and return to info@vacayrentalmanagement.com.
