Each Customer is solely responsible for ensuring all information in such Customer’s Profile is at all times accurate, current and complete, and ReloQuest shall have no liability for any inaccuracies, misstatements, or misrepresentations in any Profile. Upon registering for an Account as a User, User shall configure and enter information for a User Profile on the User’s Service Portal.
- Account Security. You agree to (i) keep your username and password secure and strictly confidential; and (ii) notify us immediately (and select a new username and password) if you believe your password for either your Account or your associated e-mail account may have become known to an unauthorized person or your Account, associated e-mail account, or Service Portal may have been accessed by an unauthorized person. If we suspect any unauthorized access to your Account or your Service Portal, upon our request, you agree to promptly change your username and password and take any other related action as we may reasonably request. If you share your username and/or password with an unauthorized person, or otherwise fail to reasonably safeguard such information, then you are responsible for any and all transactions made with your Account, including fraudulent or unintentional transactions, and ReloQuest may, without notice, suspend and/or terminate your Account.
- Eligibility Verification. In some jurisdictions, we have a legal obligation to collect identity information to comply with anti-money laundering regulations.

ReloQuest, in its sole discretion and at any time, may suspend and/or terminate your Account, and, except as provided by applicable law and our Privacy Policy, remove and discard any and all of your Content and User Data, as a result of (i) your lack of use of the Service for prolonged periods of time; (ii) failure to timely pay any Fees or other monies due; (iii) if ReloQuest determines (in ReloQuest’s sole discretion) that you have breached or acted inconsistently with these Terms of Use; (iv) you have violated applicable law.

- BOOKING PROCESS
- Requests. To find a Rental Accommodation for a Guest, Requestor must submit a Request to Suppliers through the Requestor’s Service Portal. If an Administrator configures the Service to allow a Guest to submit Requests directly to Suppliers, then such Guest will receive a hyperlink or other means of accessing the Service, which enables such Guest to submit a Request directly to Suppliers or search for Options posted by Suppliers.
- Options. Upon receiving a Request from a Requestor, Supplier may provide one or more Options to the Requestor through the Supplier’s Service Portal. If an Administrator configures the Service to allow a Guest to review the Options, such Administrator may pre-screen and add or remove Options received from Supplier and then use the Service to provide the Guest with a hyperlink or other means of accessing the Service, which enables such Guest to directly view the selected Options. Suppliers may also post Options to the Service for general browsing by Requestors.
- Selecting and Acknowledging an Option. To select an Option, a Requestor selects an available Option through the Requestor’s Service Portal. If an Administrator configures the Service to allow a Guest to select an Option, then the Guest will receive a hyperlink or other means of accessing the Service, which enables such Guest to select an available Option. Once the Option is selected by the Requestor, the Supplier is notified of the selection through the Service. If the Option is still available, then Supplier acknowledges the Option through the Service. Selection of an Option by the Requestor does not confirm a Booking until the Supplier acknowledges the selected Option and the Guest receives a Reservation Confirmation.
- Terms of Reservation. Prior to the Guest receiving a Reservation Confirmation, the Guest and the Supplier must accept the Terms of Reservation for the Booking. If the Terms of Reservation are provided by ReloQuest, then the Terms of Reservation will be provided to the Guest and the Supplier through the Service for click-acceptance. If the Terms of Reservation are supplied by the Supplier, then Supplier will provide the Terms of Reservation to the Guest for acceptance. Upon acceptance by both the Guest and the Supplier, the Terms of Reservation form a legally binding agreement for the Booking of the Rental Accommodation.
- Reservation Confirmation. A Reservation Confirmation is generated and sent to the Guest and the Supplier through the Service to confirm the Booking. Booking details such as the Arrival date, Departure date, Move-In Date, Move-Out date, the address of the Rental Accommodation, and other similar information are set forth in the Reservation Confirmation. If the Reservation Confirmation conflicts with these Terms of Use, then these Terms of Use shall govern.
- Supplier’s Rules and Policies. Guest acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to the Terms of Reservation, the Supplier’s Rules and Policies provided by the Supplier to the Guest will apply to the Booking. The Guest also acknowledges Supplier may provide the Guest with such Supplier’s Rules and Policies after the Reservation Confirmation; provided, however, if the Supplier’s Rules and Policies conflict with these Terms of Use of the Reservation Confirmation, then these Terms of Use or the Reservation Confirmation, as applicable, shall govern. Supplier shall be solely responsible for providing Supplier’s Rules and Policies to the Guest and keeping Supplier’s Rules and Policies accurate, current and complete. You acknowledge and agree ReloQuest shall have no responsibility or liability for any of Supplier’s Rules or Policies, monitoring or enforcing Supplier’s Rules and Policies, or providing Supplier’s Rules and Policies to the Guest.
- Payment Schedule. All amounts due for a Booking, and the payment schedule for paying such amounts, shall either be set forth in the Reservation Confirmation or otherwise agreed to by the Guest, the Requestor and the Supplier through the Service Portals and shall be set forth in the Payment Schedule.
- Notice to Vacate or Extend. Guest and Supplier agree to use their Service Portals to provide the required notice to vacate prior to Departure as set forth in the Reservation of Confirmation. If the Guest requests an extension date, then such extension is not granted until the Supplier approves the extension via the Supplier’s Service Portal. The Guest will be notified through Guest’s Service Portal once the Supplier accepts or declines the request. Could be worded better.
- Reporting Service Issues using Service Tracker™. Guest shall promptly notify Supplier of Service Issues through Service Tracker™ and Supplier shall respond to all reported Service Issues through Service Tracker™. Guest and Supplier agree to report, document and resolve all Service Issues through Service Tracker™; provided, however, in the event of an emergency, Guest may initially report a Service Issue and Supplier may commence resolving the Service Issue without using Service Tracker™, but the Guest and Supplier shall then report, document and finalize the resolution of the Service Issue through Service Tracker™ following the end of the emergency.
- Supplier Mandated Background Checks and Additional Information. Each Guest acknowledges and agrees that for purposes required by Supplier and/or the Rental Accommodation, Supplier reserves the right to require that the Guest submit to a background check (including an independent credit and/or criminal history check) and provide additional information. ReloQuest does not in any way participate in or otherwise affect the decision of a Supplier relating to background checks or additional information. If you do not wish to comply with any such requirement by a Supplier, your only recourse is to not complete the Booking process with such Supplier. To the extent a Requestor is required to provide Guest information on behalf of a Guest, then such Requestor, and not ReloQuest, is solely responsible for obtaining prior written consent from the Guest prior to providing any such Guest information to a Supplier.
- ReloQuest Commission. Requestor and Supplier acknowledge that ReloQuest collects a ReloQuest Commission per Booking based on the Rental Accommodation Charge, which is included in the Rental Accommodation Charge. Depending on the laws of the jurisdiction, taxes may be charged and collected on top of the ReloQuest Commission.
- Third Party Fees. Requestor acknowledges and agrees that Requestor may be charged third party fees associated with a Booking, including, without limitation, related to payment for a Booking.
