Booking cancellation policy

 

A host will have chosen one of these six cancellation policies:

• Super Flexible – If you cancel anytime before your check in day and time, you’ll receive a full refund (minus TroutNow fees).
• Flexible – If you cancel at least 24 hours before your check in day and time, you’ll receive a full refund (minus TroutNow fees). If you cancel less than 24 hours before check in, there will be no refund.
• Moderate – If you cancel at least 3 days before your check in day and time, you’ll receive a full refund (minus TroutNow fees). If you cancel within the 3 days before check in, there will be no refund.
• Strict – If you cancel at least 1 week before your check in day and time, you’ll receive a full refund (minus TroutNow fees). If you cancel within the 1 week before check in, there will be no refund.
• Super Strict – If you cancel at least 1 week before your check in day and time, you’ll receive a 50% refund (minus TroutNow fees). If you cancel within 1 week before check in, there will be no refund.
• Super Strict (30 days) – If you cancel at least 30 days before your check in day and time, you’ll receive a 50% refund (minus TroutNow fees). If you cancel within 30 days before check in, there will be no refund.

The cancellation policy the host has selected will appear in the ‘Details’ section of their listing. You will also see it again, and be asked to agree to it, right before confirming your booking or booking request.

The cancellation policy corresponds to the ‘check in’ time the host has selected. For example, if their ‘check in after’ time is 2pm and they have a Flexible Cancellation Policy, you will get a full refund if you cancel before 2pm the day before. If you cancel at 5pm the day before your check in, there will be no refund.

Cancellation policies may be superseded by extenuating circumstances or cancellations by TroutNow for any other reason permitted under the Terms of Service.

1. OUR SYSTEM.

Overview. We provide the Website and Services as an online network and service to provide individuals seeking trout stream access information and reservations (“Anglers”) with resources about fishing, fishing stream access sites, and other land (“Property”). We enable Anglers to make reservations for short-term access (“Booking”) on Property with landowners who have created Listings for such Property (each, a “Landowner”). Our Users include Anglers and Landowners.

Our Role. TROUTNOW IS NOT A REAL ESTATE BROKER, REAL ESTATE SALESPERSON, INSURER, OR REAL ESTATE AGENT. TROUTNOW HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE CONDUCT OF LANDOWNERS, CAMPERS, OR OTHER USERS OF THE WEBSITE AND SERVICES OR ANY PROPERTY OR OTHER THIRD PARTY. We are not an owner, operator, or provider of any Property, nor do we manage and/or control Properties or transportation or travel services .

Booking Property. In some cases, we redirect you to a third-party website for you to book Property. In such event, Section 1.1 will not apply and we have no involvement in any such booking (but the provisions of Section 9 below will apply). In situations where you, as an Angler, have the ability to book a Property on our Website, we refer to such booking as a “Booking”. However, any Booking is directly between the Angler and entity that owns or manages such Property; we are not a party to such Booking or any transaction or agreement related thereto.

Disclaimer. By using the Website or Services, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other Users or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Users or other third parties who caused you harm. You agree not to attempt to impose liability on or seek any legal remedy from TroutNow with respect to such actions or omissions. Accordingly, we encourage you to communicate directly with other Users regarding any Listings (defined below), or potential or actual Bookings. The foregoing limitation shall not apply to any claim by a Landowner against us regarding the remittance of payments received from an Angler by TroutNow on behalf of a Landowner.

1. For Anglers. The following terms apply only to Users in their role as an Angler:

Booking. These Terms of Use shall govern any Booking. In addition, separate terms and conditions may apply to Property (defined below) you book, including policies that are set by the applicable entity 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.

Bookings. In Bookings, TroutNow acts solely as a technology service that facilitates communication and is not a party to any transaction between Anglers and Landowners. Pricing is set by the applicable Landowner. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not TroutNow, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any agreement you may have with a Landowner, that TroutNow is not a party to such agreements, and that, with the exception of its payment obligations hereunder, TroutNow disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements.

When we provide Bookings, our responsibilities are limited to: (i) facilitating the availability of the Website and Services and (ii) serving as the limited payment collection agent of Landowners for the purpose of accepting payments from Anglers on behalf of the Landowners of such amounts stipulated by the Landowners.

In the event that a Landowner claims otherwise and provides evidence of damage, including but not limited to photographs, you agree to pay the cost of replacing the damaged items or property with equivalent items.

After being notified of the claim and given forty eight (48) hours to respond, the payment will be charged to and taken from the credit card on file in your Account. If we are unable to charge the credit card on file or otherwise collect payment from you, you agree to remit payment for any damage to the Property to the applicable Landowner or to TroutNow (if applicable). Both Anglers and Landowners agree to cooperate with and assist TroutNow in good faith, and to provide TroutNow with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by TroutNow, in connection with any complaints or claims made by Landowners.

If you are an Angler, upon TroutNow’s reasonable request, and to the extent you are reasonably able to do so, you agree to participate in mediation or similar resolution process with a Landowner, at no cost to you, which process will be conducted by TroutNow or a third party selected by TroutNow, with respect to losses for which the Landowner is requesting payment from TroutNow.

Property Terms and Conditions.  As an Angler, you will comply with all applicable Property Rules and Regulations, and laws, rules, regulations, and local ordinances, which are Supplemental Terms for any Booking you make. Use of any Property will be subject to: (i) availability of the Property; (ii) payment of all fees and charges incurred in reserving and/or using the Property; and (iii) compliance with the terms and conditions and/or Property Rules. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, settlement of all fees and charges incurred in reserving and/or using the Property is to be made by you prior to your use and shall not be considered guaranteed until written confirmation has been provided to you. 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).

Damage to Property. As an Angler, you are responsible for leaving the Property in the condition it was in when you arrived. You acknowledge and agree that, as an Angler, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals whom you invite to, or otherwise provide access to, the Property. You agree that we are authorized to immediately charge your Account for all fees and charges due and payable to TroutNow hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required.

Insurance. As an Angler, you understand that TroutNow may provide primary liability insurance for Approved Landowners (as defined below) and that you will not look to an Approved Landowner’s policy for coverage in accordance with TroutNow’s policies.  TroutNow will provide certain liability insurance and protection against property damage for the Landowners as described in these Terms and in the TroutNow Insurance Policy and Property Protection Plan.  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.

Promotions. From time to time, we may elect to run or otherwise make available promotional offers, deals and/or codes for Property. Unless otherwise indicated on the Website, we may establish and modify, in our sole discretion, the terms of such offer and suspend or end such offer at any point, with or without notice to you. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to reject or refuse to honor any special deal or promotional code you submit to, or otherwise attempt to redeem on, the Website or Services. Promotional codes are generally limited to one use per customer. We may post additional terms of a promotion on the Website.

2. For Landowners. If you are a Landowner, the following provisions apply to you:

Listings. If you wish to list a Property as a Landowner, you may create a listing of that Property by answering a variety of questions about it and providing the Property Rules and pricing (“Listing”). Listings are made publicly available on our Website. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for any and all Listings you post. We reserve the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Listing for any reason.

Compliance. YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND HOW THE LAWS WORK IN THE JURISDICTION OF YOUR PROPERTY. SOME JURISDICTIONS REQUIRE REGISTRATION AND CERTAIN LICENSING AND PERMITS. 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 parties, such as lease or rental agreements, and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws, tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Property (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties. Please note that TroutNow assumes no responsibility for any compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations. PLEASE REVIEW LOCAL LAWS BEFORE LISTING A PROPERTY.

Insurance. Any agreement you enter into with an Angler is between you and the Angler and we are not a party thereto. You understand and agree that TroutNow will provide certain liability insurance for Approved Landowners (as defined below) and protection against property damage as described in our TroutNow Insurance Policy and Property Protection Plan insurance policies. If you, as a Approved Landowner discover damage to your Property, you must report it immediately to admin@troutnow.com.  However, TroutNow’s insurance policies do not cover all types of physical damage losses on your 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 Anglers on your Property and any injuries to such Anglers.

Approved Landowners.  In order to be eligible for and to benefit from TroutNow’s Insurance Policy as a Landowner you must comply with the following “Insurance Requirements”: You must: (1) be a registered and approved user of TroutNow platform; (2) not be a Commercial Fishing Outfit; (3) never have been convicted of a felony; (4) not have had any Homeowners / Renters Liability claims made against you in during the 3 year period immediately preceding the event(s) giving rise to an insurance claim hereunder; and (5) at all times comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances, including any local laws and ordinances related to your Property, as well as these Terms.  By making any claim hereunder, you represent and warrant that you have at all times complied with the Insurance Requirements.

Availability. You can set your own schedule of availability for your Property. You can accept or reject prospective bookings through the Services or in other communications with us. However, once an Angler makes a booking request, you may not request the Angler to pay a higher price than in the booking request on the Website. Once you accept a Booking or receive a Booking through Direct Book, you agree to fulfill that commitment to us and to the Angler and you may not charge any User additional or supplemental fees for the Booking (other than required taxes). We may make tools available to you to help you to make informed decisions about which Anglers you choose to confirm for booking for your Property, but you acknowledge and agree that, as a Landowner, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals who are otherwise present on the Property at your request or invitation, excluding the Angler and his or her invited guests.

1. Relationship with Landowners. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or should be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, or employer-employee relationship between TroutNow 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 TroutNow that is inconsistent with your being an independent contractor (and not an employee) of TroutNow. You are not the agent of TroutNow 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 TroutNow. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

You are not entitled to or eligible for any benefits that TroutNow may make available to its employees, such as group insurance, profit-sharing or retirement benefits. Because you are an independent contractor, TroutNow 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 TroutNow, or any affiliate of TroutNow, by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Department of Labor, or any other federal, state or foreign agency 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 TroutNow. 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 TroutNow 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, TroutNow will report the payments paid to you under this Agreement by filing Form 1099-MISC with the Internal Revenue Service as required by 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.

3. Waiver against Landowners. AS A CAMPER, YOU HEREBY FREELY, VOLUNTARILY AND WITHOUT DURESS RELEASES LANDOWNER FROM LIABILITY UNDER THE FOLLOWING TERMS (THE “RELEASE”):

1. Acknowledgement and Assumption of Risk.  Angler acknowledges that fishing (the “Activity”) might cause injuries, death, property damage or other harm to third parties.  Angler accepts and voluntarily incurs all risks of any such injuries, damages or harm which arise during or result from the Activity except only to the extent caused by the sole negligence or intentional misconduct of the Landowner or its agents and representatives.
2. Waiver and Release.  Angler waives releases and forever discharges all claims against the Landowner and its agents and representatives (hereinafter collectively “Released Parties”) for any injuries, damages, losses or claims, whether known and unknown, which arise during or result from the Activity, except only to the extent caused by the sole negligence or intentional misconduct of any of the Released Parties. If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

8. Arbitration Agreement; Class Waiver; Waiver of Trial by Jury.  Please read this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully.  It is part of your contract with TroutNow and affects your rights.  It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.  

1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms or the use of any product or service provided by TroutNow that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement.  This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and TroutNow, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.
2. Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution.  Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief.  A Notice to TroutNow should be sent to: admin@troutnow.com. After the Notice is received, you and TroutNow may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally.  If you and TroutNow do not resolve the claim or dispute within 30 days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding.  The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.
3. Arbitration Rules.  Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section.  If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider.  The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of this arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.  The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator.  Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief.  For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules.  Any hearing will be held in a location within one hundred (100) miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise.  Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
4. Additional Rules for Non-appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration.  The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties.
5. Authority of Arbitrator.  If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and TroutNow, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties.  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 AAA Rules, and the Terms.  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 TroutNow.
6. Waiver of Jury Trial.  THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement.  Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court.  In the event any litigation should arise between you and TroutNow in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND TROUTNOW WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
7. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions.  ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
8. Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, 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.
9. Right to Waive.  Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted.  Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.
10. Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with TroutNow.
11. Small Claims Court.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or TroutNow may bring an individual action in small claims court.
12. Emergency Equitable Relief.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party 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.
13. Courts.  In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in California, for such purpose.

9. Governing Law.  The Terms and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of California, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction.  The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.
10. Choice of Language.  It is the express wish of the parties that the Terms and all related documents have been drawn up in English.  C’est law volone expresse des parties que la presente convention ainsi que les documents qui s’y rattacent soient rediges en anglais.
11. Notice.  Where TroutNow requires that you provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing TroutNow with your most current e-mail address.  In the event that the last e-mail address you provided to TroutNow is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/ permitted by the Terms, TroutNow’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice.  You may give notice to TroutNow at the following address: 1 Lombard St, Suite 303 San Francisco CA 94111. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by TroutNow by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.
12. Waiver.  Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of the Terms on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
13. Severability.  If any provision of the Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of the Terms will remain enforceable, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
14. Export Control.  You may not use, export, import, or transfer the TroutNow Materials except as authorized by U.S. law, the laws of the jurisdiction in which you obtained the TroutNow Materials, and any other applicable laws.  In particular, but without limitation, the TroutNow Materials may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any United States embargoed countries, or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Denied Person’s List or Entity List. By using the TroutNow Materials, you represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

1. Application License.  Subject to your compliance with the Terms, TroutNow grants you a limited non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install and use a copy of TroutNow’s software application for mobile devices (the “Application”) on a single mobile device or computer that you own or control and to run such copy of the Application solely for your own personal or internal business purposes.  Furthermore, with respect to any Application accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store (an “App Store Sourced Application”), you will only use the App Store Sourced Application (i) on an Apple-branded product that runs the iOS (Apple’s proprietary operating system) and (ii) as permitted by the “Usage Rules” set forth in the Apple App Store Terms of Service.
2. App Stores.  You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the Application and the Services is dependent on the third party from whom you received the Application license, e.g., the Apple iPhone or Android app stores (“App Store”).  You acknowledge that the Terms are between you and TroutNow and not with the App Store.  TroutNow, not the App Store, is solely responsible for the TroutNow Materials, including the Application, the content thereof, maintenance, support services, and warranty therefor, and addressing any claims relating thereto (e.g., product liability, legal compliance or intellectual property infringement).  In order to use the Application, you must have access to a wireless network, and you agree to pay all fees associated with such access.  You also agree to pay all fees (if any) charged by the App Store in connection with the TroutNow Materials, including the Application.  You agree to comply with, and your license to use the Application is conditioned upon your compliance with, all applicable third-party terms of agreement (e.g., the App Store’s terms and policies) when using the TroutNow Materials, including the Application. You acknowledge that the App Store (and its subsidiaries) are third-party beneficiaries of the Terms and will have the right to enforce them.

5. You and TroutNow acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of that App Store Sourced Application infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, as between TroutNow and Apple, TroutNow, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by the Terms.
6. You and TroutNow acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of the Terms as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce the Terms as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
