About the Service
We are providing an online property marketing service. This means that we facilitate the online logistics associated with marketing a holiday home, including:
- marketing your properties on your selected property listing websites (“channels”);
- building, integrating and optimising your listings on your selected channels;
- dealing with guest enquiries and pre-arrival questions; and
- processing payments from your channels and guests.
Please note that we are not responsible for any on-site services (e.g. such as cleaning, maintenance or repairs).
Scope of our Services
When you use our Service, we will market your properties and manage bookings for you. However, please note that when we do so we act as your agent.
This means that when we market your properties on your selected channels, you are entering into a direct (legally binding) contractual relationship with the relevant channel. Likewise, when we take a booking on your behalf, you are entering into a direct (legally binding) contract with your guest to provide your accommodation services (your “Owner Services”) in accordance with your own terms and conditions. We act solely as an intermediary between (i) you and your channels; and (ii) you and your guests.
It also means that when you use our Service, you appoint us as a payment collection agent solely for the limited purpose of accepting payment from your channels or guests in connection with the provision of your Owner Services. You agree that payment made by a channel and/or guest through Digital Rental Hub shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to you, and you will provide your Owner Services in the agreed-upon manner as if you received the payment directly from the channel or guest (as applicable). You also agree that we may refund a channel and/or guest in accordance with the channel cancellation policy as reflected in the Service at the time of booking . Our obligation to pay you is subject to and conditional upon successful receipt of the associated payments from the channel and guest. In accepting appointment as a limited payment collection agent we assume no liability for any of your, or your channel or guests, acts or omissions.
About our bookings
When we take a booking on your behalf, we will check your Digital Rental Hub calendar to ensure that you have availability on the requested dates. When we confirm the booking we will update your Digital Rental Hub calendar accordingly.
Please note that it is your responsibility to keep your Digital Rental Hub calendar up-to-date at all times, and to check availability, before making any external booking. If we accept a booking for your Digital Rental Hub calendar, this will take precedence over any conflicting booking that was not in your Digital Rental Hub calendar at the time of the booking.
Cancellations of guest bookings
The prepayment and cancellation terms applicable to each channel are displayed in the Service under Marketing.
Some channels may allow a grace/cooldown period after booking that allows the guest to cancel the transaction during this period. If you request us to cancel a booking after we have confirmed the booking with the guest, we reserve the right to charge you any costs incurred as a result as well as an administration fee on behalf of Digital Rental Hub of €50. If we are responsible for changes or cancellations to a booking and fees are charged by a channel or other reasonable costs are incurred, we will not seek to recover these from you.
About your selected channels
Please note that when you select a channel through our Service, you are also accepting and agreeing to the relevant terms and conditions of that channel. Links to each channels’ terms and conditions are available in our Service under Marketing and we advise you to read these carefully.
Channels do not permit duplicate listings of properties. Your Digital Rental Hub listing will take priority over any listing that you chose to manage yourself on the same channel. If we become aware that this is happening, we will de-list your Digital Rental Hub listing from the appropriate channel. Please note that the channel may also remove listings which is out with our control.
You will be responsible for compliance with each of your selected channels’ terms and conditions.
If we are obliged to pay a fee to a channel as a result of your breach of such terms and conditions, then we shall be entitled to a refund of such costs from you. This includes any cancellation costs which we incur as a result of your breach, and any travel costs we may be required to reimburse your guests on your behalf due to such cancellation. We may offset any such costs against any money we may owe to you or request that you refund these costs to us.

Fees
Use of the Service is free, however we will charge our commission payment plus VAT based on the base value and cleaning fees from each booking made using our Service. Your commission rate per channel will be displayed in the Service under Marketing. Commissions will not be charged if a guest cancels a booking and receives a full refund. If a guest receives a partial refund we will charge our commission on value of the base price not refunded.
In addition to commissions, we will retain any booking fee added to your base price. We do not retain booking fees added by channels.
We shall charge VAT on commission payments based on the information provided by you to us in your account. If we become aware that information provided has been inaccurate or incorrect and VAT should have been charged on commission payments, or if the financial authority, at any time, determines in writing that VAT is payable in respect of any commission payment, you shall within five days of notification and receipt of a VAT invoice, pay to us a sum equal to (i) the amount of VAT chargeable and (ii) any interest or fines charged by the financial authority due to late payment of such VAT to the extent that it results from a breach by you of your obligations under these terms and conditions.
We reserve the right to recover the amount due in VAT by offsetting against any future payments due from us to you under these terms and conditions, subject to provision of a valid VAT invoice.
Important terms
We reserve the right to vary your commission rate during the term of this Agreement. However, we shall give you at least 30 calendar days’ notice in writing of any proposed changes to the commission rate.
Payments
We shall make payment per property in line with our standard payment schedule. Payments will only be processed to you once the guests who have booked through Digital Rental Hub have arrived at your property. We shall provide you with a weekly statement on a Wednesday (the Statement Day) for all arrivals up to the Sunday immediately prior to the relevant Statement Day. Payment will be processed on the relevant Statement Day. The time for receipt of payments will depend on the currency used when advertising your property depending on bank payment processing times.
Please refer to the Marketing section of the Service for full details on channel payment terms.
The amount that we will deduct from each booking is detailed in the Fees section above and may include VAT. If you are VAT registered, you can claim back this VAT. Your will receive a VAT invoice whenever a payment is being sent to you detailing what we are paying you and the commission or other deduction charge by booking.
When a booking has been cancelled by a guest (who is entitled to a refund), and you have already received payment for this booking, we will deduct this sum from any future payment we make to you. If there are no further bookings, we reserve the right to request a refund to balance this amount.
Should a refund out-with the standard terms of the booking be agreed between yourself and the guest, you will bear the full cost of this refund and will be required to return any funds that have already been remitted to you including any cancellation costs incurred within 30 days of the cancellation.
