TERMS OF SERVICE

Thank you for visiting our website. This website is owned [and operated] by The Have You Got Network Pty Ltd (ABN 73 615 465 266). By accessing and/or using this website and related services, you agree to these Terms and Conditions, which include our Privacy Policy (available at https://haveyougot.com/privacy-policy) (Terms). You should review our Privacy Policy and these Terms carefully and immediately cease using our website if you do not agree to these Terms.

In these Terms, 'us', 'we', 'our', “HYG” and “Have You Got” means The Have You Got Network Pty Ltd and our related bodies corporate.

About Us and Our Service

We provide access to the Have You Got Network (Network). The Network consists of Managers, Hosts and Owners of holiday rental properties (Managers). Users who wish to book accommodation may also access the network, and these users are referred to as Guests in these Terms. Managers and Guests are collectively referred to as Users.
Accessing or using certain functionality of the Network may be subject to additional terms or policies, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference. If there is a conflict between these Terms and any specific terms or policies, the specific terms or policies will prevail.

Account Registration

Users must be registered members to access certain features of our website, including to list properties for rental and to make offers to book properties.
Users that intend to offer properties for rental via the Network must create a Manager account.
When you register and activate your account, you will provide us with personal information such as your name, the organisation you represent (if applicable), email address and telephone number. You must ensure that this information is accurate and current. We will handle all personal information we collect in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
When you register, you are responsible for all use and activity carried out under this company/ business name and email address.
To create an account, you must be: (a) at least 18 years of age; possess the legal right and ability to enter into a legally binding agreement with us; and agree and warrant to use the website in accordance with these Terms.

Creating a Property Listing

Managers may add available properties to the Network via the HYG Property Info Spreadsheet.
When adding a property to a Manager’s account on the Network the Manager must:
- provide complete and accurate information about the property;
- disclose any deficiencies with the property;
- set out any specific rules applying to guests who stay at the property; and
- provide any other information that would be reasonably material to a guest in determining whether to stay at the property.
Managers warrant to HYG that they are the valid representing Manager of each property they add to the Network and indemnify HYG in respect of any loss, damage or claim suffered by HYG as a result of a breach of this warranty.

Making a Network Inquiry

A Manager who is unable to accommodate a Guest may make an enquiry of other Managers on the Network by completing a Network Inquiry.
Network Inquiries include as a minimum:
- the name of the Guest;
- the email address of the Guest;
- the geographical area where the Guest wishes to stay; and
- the dates of the stay.
A Manager that makes a Network Inquiry is the Referring Manager for that Network Inquiry for the purposes of these Terms.

Responding to a Network Inquiry

HYG will determine which properties are available and are suitable for this Inquiry.
The link for the suitable property sent to the guest will direct the guest to the property page on the HYG website. It is your responsibility to ensure the information on that page, including rates (taken from Airbnb) is up to date.
Managers are solely responsible for determining the price offered to guests for a stay and the Manager’s Terms.
It is the responsibility of the Responding Manager to ensure that the Manager’s Terms are lawful in the Responding Manager’s jurisdiction and the Responding Manager indemnifies HYG from and against any loss, claim or damage suffered by HYG as a result of any broach of this provision.

Guest Acceptance and Forming of Bookings

Guests book a property by paying a Booking Deposit fee on HYG. An email is then sent to the successful manager with all Inquiry details, and to the referrer to let them know a booking was made for their Inquiry.
If a Manager finds the guest unsuitable, a cancellation is possible, however, HYG must be included in the communications with the guest explaining the cancellation. In this instance the guest will be refunded their Booking Deposit.
Guests and Managers acknowledge that a legally binding agreement to book the property is only made upon completion of the Manager’s standard booking procedure. Nothing on the Have You Got website binds either party to complete the booking and Have You Got will not be liable to any Manager or Guest in respect of any offers of properties or offers of bookings made via the Have You Got website.
Managers agree that they will not materially alter the terms of any booking as notified to the Guest in the relevant Inquiry Response and that where a booking is made it will be on terms identical or substantially similar to the Manager’s Terms notified in the Inquiry Response.

Service Fees and Commissions

A Booking Deposit is collected from the Guest to book. Referral commissions are payable to Referring Managers at the end of the month of check in date of the booking.
Referral commission payments are 5% of the total cost of the stay.
In the event a Booking is cancelled or varied after arrival, the Successful Manager must provide HYG with a notification setting out sufficient evidence of the cancellation or variation as soon as is reasonably practicable. Refunds to the Guest will be on a case by case basis.
Have You Got is not party to any agreement between the Referring Manager and Successful Manager for the payment of the Commission and the Referring Manager releases Have You Got from any and all liability in connection with the same.

Code of Conduct

All Users of the Network are subject to the Code of Conduct
Failure to comply with the Code of Conduct may result in the User’s removal from the Network, at HYG’s discretion.

Three Strikes System

Managers who do not comply with these Terms will be subject to removal from the Network. Strikes include and not limited to: regular complaints, properties not as described, bad reviews. Accruing the three strikes concludes with deregistration, with no chance to register again.

Damage to Property

To the fullest extent possible at law, HYG is not liable to any user in respect of damage to any Property. HYG does not warrant the suitability of Guests for any accommodation and each Manager must include appropriate risk and liability provisions in its Guest Agreement. It is the obligation of Managers to ensure that owners have appropriate insurance in respect of Properties offered for rent via the Network.
