Our Terms, Refund Policy, Nondiscrimination Policy and other Policies applicable to your use of the InstaShow Platform are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

When these Terms mention “InstaShow,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” it refers to the Boxlty company you are contracting with.

Our collection, use, and distribution of personal information in connection with your access to and use of the InstaShow Platform is described in our Privacy Policy.

Owners, Real Estate agents and property managers are responsible for identifying, understanding, and complying with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to their Listings and Access Services (as defined below). Owners, Property managers and Real Estate agents are alone responsible for identifying and obtaining any required licenses, permits, or registrations for any Listing Services they offer. Certain types of Listing Services may be prohibited altogether. Penalties may include fines or other enforcement. We provide some information in our Help/FAQ Center to help you identify some of the obligations that apply to you. If you have questions about how local laws apply to your Listing(s) and Host Service(s) on InstaShow, you should always seek legal guidance.

1. Scope of InstaShow Services

1.1 The InstaShow Platform is a visitor management service and an online marketplace that enables registered users (“Members”) and certain third parties who offer services (Members and third parties who offer services but not limited to the Owners, Managers, Real Estate Agents or anyone or entity controlling the property are individually or collectively “Owners/Hosts” and the services they offer are “Listing Services”) to publish such Listing Services on the InstaShow Platform (“Listings”) and to communicate and transact directly with Members that are seeking to visit or self-tour a property but not limited to or for the purposes of reviewing, inspecting the property to potentially rent, purchase or access to stay at the accommodation depending on the offering by(“Owners/Hosts”) or InstaShow Services of such Listing Services (Members using Listing Services individually or collectively are “User/Users” “Visitor”,”Visitors” or “Guest”).

1.2 As the provider of the InstaShow Platform, InstaShow does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Listings or Listing Services. Owners/Hosts alone are responsible for their Listings and Listing Services. When Members make or accept a visit, they are entering into a contract directly with each other. InstaShow is not and does not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between Members, unless users hire InstaShow as a real estate broker. InstaShow is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member using the visitor management or access system excepting that the visitor or owner contracts directly with InstaShow as a real estate broker.

1.3 While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, InstaShow has no control over and does not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Listings or Listing Services, (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions, Ratings, Reviews, or other Member Content (as defined below), or (iii) the performance or conduct of any Member or third party. InstaShow does not endorse any Member, Listing or Listing Services. Any references to a Member being “verified” (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification or identification process and nothing else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by InstaShow about any Member, including of the Member’s identity or background or whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. You should always exercise due diligence and care when visiting or listing a property for self-tour visits, or communicate and interact with other Members, whether online or in person. Verified Images (as defined below) are intended only to indicate a photographic representation of a Listing at the time the photograph was taken and are therefore not an endorsement by InstaShow of any Host or Listing.

1.4 If you choose to use the InstaShow Platform as an owner, property manager or listing agent (as defined below), your relationship with InstaShow is limited to being an independent, third-party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of InstaShow for any reason, and you act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of InstaShow. InstaShow does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control you generally or in your performance under these Terms specifically, including in connection with your provision of the Listing Services. You acknowledge and agree that you have complete discretion whether to list Listing Services or otherwise engage in other business or employment activities.

1.5 To promote the InstaShow Platform and to increase the exposure of Listings to potential Visitors/Visitors, Listings and other Member Content may be displayed on other websites, in applications, within emails, and in online and offline advertisements. The InstaShow Platform may contain maps powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties for merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

1.6 The InstaShow Platform may contain links to third-party websites or resources (“Third-Party Services”). Such Third-Party Services may be subject to different terms and conditions and privacy practices. InstaShow is not responsible or liable for the availability or accuracy of such Third-Party Services, or the content, products, or services available from such Third-Party Services. Links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by InstaShow of such Third-Party Services.

1.7 Due to the nature of the Internet, InstaShow cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of the InstaShow Platform. InstaShow may restrict the availability of the InstaShow Platform or certain areas or features thereof, if this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of the InstaShow Platform. InstaShow may improve, enhance and modify the InstaShow Platform and introduce new InstaShow Services from time to time.

If a Host claims and provides evidence that you as a Visitor have damaged an Accommodation or any personal or other property at an Accommodation (“Damage Claim“), the Host can seek payment from you through the Resolution Center. If a Host escalates a Damage Claim to InstaShow, you will be given an opportunity to respond. If you agree to pay the Host, or InstaShow determines in its sole discretion that you are responsible for the Damage Claim, InstaShow via InstaShow Payments will, after resolution is determined, collect any such sums from you as required to cover the Damage Claim pursuant to the Payments Terms. InstaShow also reserves the right to otherwise collect payment from you and pursue any remedies available to InstaShow in this regard in situations in which you are responsible for a Damage Claim, including, but not limited to, in relation to any payment requests made by Owners/Hosts.

11.3 Members agree to cooperate with and assist InstaShow in good faith, and to provide InstaShow with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by InstaShow, in connection with any Damage Claims or other complaints or claims made by Members relating to (i) Accommodations or any personal or other property located at an Accommodation.

A Member shall, upon InstaShow’s reasonable request and at no cost to the Member, participate in mediation or a similar resolution process with another Member, which process will be conducted by InstaShow or a third party selected by InstaShow or its insurer, with respect to losses for which a Member is requesting payment from InstaShow.

11.4 If you are a Visitor or a Co-Host, you understand and agree that InstaShow may make a claim under your homeowner’s, renter’s or other insurance policy related to any damage or loss that you may have caused, or been responsible for, to any personal or other property (including an Accommodation) of the Host (including without limitation amounts paid by InstaShow.

You agree to cooperate with and assist InstaShow in good faith, and to provide InstaShow with such information as may be reasonably requested by InstaShow, to make a claim under your homeowner’s, renter’s or other insurance policy, including, but not limited to, executing documents and taking such further acts as InstaShow may reasonably request to assist InstaShow in accomplishing the foregoing.

12. Rounding off

InstaShow generally supports payment amounts that are payable from or to Visitors/Visitors or Owners/Hosts to the smallest unit supported by a given currency (i.e., U.S. cents, Euro cents or other supported currencies). Where InstaShow’s third-party payment services provider does not support payments in the smaller unit supported by a given currency, InstaShow may, in its sole discretion, round up or round down the displayed amounts that are payable from or to Visitors/Visitors or Owners/Hosts to the nearest whole functional base unit in which the currency is denominated (i.e. to the nearest dollar, Euro or other supported currency); for example, InstaShow may round up an amount of $101.50 to $102.00, and round down an amount of $101.49 to $101.00.

13. Taxes

13.1 As a Visit-Host you are solely responsible for determining your obligations to report, collect, remit or include in your Listing Fees any applicable VAT or other indirect sales taxes, occupancy tax, tourist or other visitor taxes or income taxes (“Taxes“).

13.2 Tax regulations may require us to collect appropriate Tax information from Owners/Hosts, or to withhold Taxes from payouts to Owners/Hosts, or both. If a Host fails to provide us with the required documentation under applicable law (e.g., a tax number) that we determine to be sufficient to alleviate our obligation (if any) to withhold Taxes from payouts to you, we reserve the right to withhold payouts up to the tax-relevant amount as required by law, until resolution.

13.3 You understand that any appropriate governmental agency, department and/or authority (“Tax Authority“) where your Accommodation is located may require Taxes to be collected from Visitors/Visitors or Owners/Hosts on Listing Fees, and to be remitted to the respective Tax Authority. The laws in jurisdictions may vary, but these Taxes may be required to be collected and remitted as a percentage of the Listing Fees set by Owners/Hosts, a set amount per day, or other variations, and are sometimes called “transient occupancy taxes,” “hotel taxes,” “lodging taxes,” “city taxes,” “room taxes” or “tourist taxes” (“Occupancy Taxes“).

13.4 You agree that any claim or cause of action relating to InstaShow’s facilitation of Collection and Remittance of Occupancy Taxes shall not extend to any supplier or vendor that may be used by InstaShow in connection with facilitation of Collection and Remittance, if any. Visitors/Visitors and Owners/Hosts agree that we may seek additional amounts from you in the event that the Taxes collected and/or remitted are insufficient to fully discharge your obligations to the Tax Authority, and agree that your sole remedy for Occupancy Taxes collected is a refund of Occupancy Taxes collected by InstaShow from the applicable Tax Authority in accordance with applicable procedures set by that Tax Authority.

13.5 InstaShow reserves the right, with prior notice to Owners/Hosts, to begin or cease the Collection and Remittance in any jurisdiction for any reason at which point Owners/Hosts and Visitors/Visitors are once again solely responsible and liable for the collection and/or remittance of any and all Occupancy Taxes that may apply to Accommodations in that jurisdiction.

14. Prohibited Activities

14.2 You acknowledge that InstaShow has no obligation to monitor the access to or use of the InstaShow Platform by any Member or to review, disable access to, or edit any Member Content, but has the right to do so to (i) operate, secure and improve the InstaShow Platform (including without limitation for fraud prevention, risk assessment, investigation and customer support purposes); (ii) ensure Members’ compliance with these Terms; (iii) comply with applicable law or the order or requirement of a court, law enforcement or other administrative agency or governmental body; (iv) respond to Member Content that it determines is harmful or objectionable; or (v) as otherwise set forth in these Terms.

16. Disclaimers

If you choose to use the InstaShow Platform or Collective Content, you do so voluntarily and at your sole risk. The InstaShow Platform and Collective Content is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, either express or implied.

You agree that you have had whatever opportunity you deem necessary to investigate the InstaShow Services, laws, rules, or regulations that may be applicable to your Listings and/or Listing Services you are receiving and that you are not relying upon any statement of law or fact made by InstaShow relating to a Listing.

If we choose to conduct identity verification or background checks on any Member, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim warranties of any kind, either express or implied, that such checks will identify prior misconduct by a Member or guarantee that a Member will not engage in misconduct in the future.

You agree that some Experiences, Events, other Listing Services, or the Group Payment Service may carry inherent risk, and by participating in such services, you choose to assume those risks voluntarily. For example, some Listing Services may carry risk of illness, bodily injury, disability, or death, and you freely and willfully assume those risks by choosing to participate in those Listing Services. You assume full responsibility for the choices you make before, during and after your participation in a Host Service or the Group Payment Service. If you are bringing a minor as an additional Visitor, you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor throughout the duration of your Host Service and to the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to release and hold harmless InstaShow from all liabilities and claims that arise in any way from any injury, death, loss or harm that occurs to that minor during the Host Service or in any way related to your Host Service.

The foregoing disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. You may have other statutory rights. However, the duration of statutorily required warranties, if any, shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

17. Liability

You acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the InstaShow Platform and Collective Content, your publishing or visit of any Listing via the InstaShow Platform, your visit at any Accommodation/property or any other interaction you have with other Members whether in person or online remains with you. Neither InstaShow nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the InstaShow Platform or Collective Content will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute products or services, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with (i) these Terms, (ii) from the use of or inability to use the InstaShow Platform or Collective Content, (iii) from any communications, interactions or meetings with other Members or other persons with whom you communicate, interact or meet with as a result of your use of the InstaShow Platform, or (iv) from your publishing or visit of a Listing, including the provision or use of a Listing’s Listing Services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not InstaShow has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Except for our obligations to pay amounts to applicable Owners/Hosts pursuant to these Terms or an approved payment request, in no event will InstaShow’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms and your use of the InstaShow Platform including, but not limited to, from your publishing or visit of any Listings via the InstaShow Platform, or from the use of or inability to use the InstaShow Platform or Collective Content and in connection with any Accommodation/property or interactions with any other Members, exceed the amounts you have paid or owe for visits via the InstaShow Platform as a Visitor in the twelve (12) month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. If you reside outside of the U.S., this does not affect InstaShow’s liability for death or personal injury arising from its negligence, nor for fraudulent misrepresentation, misrepresentation as to a fundamental matter or any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

18. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to release, defend (at InstaShow’s option), indemnify, and hold InstaShow and its affiliates and subsidiaries, including but not limited to, InstaShow Payments, and their officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your breach of these Terms or our Policies or Standards, (ii) your improper use of the InstaShow Platform or any InstaShow Services, (iii) your interaction with any Member, visit at any property on the InstaShow platform, including without limitation any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction, stay, participation or use, (iv) InstaShow’s Collection and Remittance of Occupancy Taxes, or (v) your breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights.

19. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement

19.1 This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement shall apply if your (i) country of residence or establishment is in the United States; or (ii) your country of residence or establishment is not in the United States, but bring any claim against InstaShow in the United States (to the extent not in conflict with Section 21).

19.2 Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. InstaShow is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process for individuals to whom Section 19.1 applies: (1) an informal negotiation directly with InstaShow’s customer service team, and (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) using its specially designed Consumer Arbitration Rules (as modified by this Section 19 and except as provided in Section 19.6). Specifically, the Consumer Arbitration Rules provide:

  • Claims can be filed with AAA online (adr.org);
  • Arbitrators must be neutral and no party may unilaterally select an arbitrator;
  • Arbitrators must disclose any bias, interest in the result of the arbitration, or relationship with any party;
  • Parties retain the right to seek relief in small claims court for certain claims, at their option;
  • The initial filing fee for the consumer is capped at $200;
  • The consumer gets to elect the hearing location and can elect to participate live, by phone, video conference, or, for claims under $25,000, by the submission of documents;
  • The arbitrator can grant any remedy that the parties could have received in court to resolve the party’s individual claim.

19.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and InstaShow each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact InstaShow’s customer service team by emailing us. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the AAA and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA Rules.

19.4 Agreement to Arbitrate. You and InstaShow mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or to the use of the InstaShow Platform, the Listing Services, , or the Collective Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and InstaShow agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.

19.5 Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and InstaShow each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) Any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) Any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack).

19.6 Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1–800–778–7879.

19.7 Modification to AAA Rules – Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, InstaShow agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option, (a) in the county where you reside; (b) in York County; (c) in any other location to which you and InstaShow both agree; (d) via phone or video conference; or (e) for any claim or counterclaim under $25,000, by solely the submission of documents to the arbitrator.

19.8 Modification of AAA Rules – Attorney’s Fees and Costs. You and InstaShow agree that InstaShow will be responsible for payment of the balance of any initial filing fee under the AAA Rules in excess of $200 for claims of $75,000 or less. You may be entitled to seek an award of attorney fees and expenses if you prevail in arbitration, to the extent provided under applicable law and the AAA rules. Unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous or filed for the purpose of harassment, InstaShow agrees it will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law or the AAA Rules, to recover attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

19.9 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

19.10 Jury Trial Waiver. You and InstaShow acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.

19.11 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and InstaShow acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless you and InstaShow both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If the “class action lawsuit” waiver or the “class-wide arbitration” waiver in this Section 19.11 is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute and the Dispute must proceed in court. If the “private attorney general action” waiver or the “representative proceeding” waiver in this Section 19.11 is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, those waivers may be severed from this Arbitration Agreement and you and InstaShow agree that any private attorney general claims and representative claims in the Dispute will be severed and stayed, pending the resolution of any arbitrable claims in the Dispute in individual arbitration.

19.12 Severability. Except as provided in Section 19.11, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.

19.13 Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 (“Modification of these Terms”), if InstaShow changes this Section 19 (“Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement”) after the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email) within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of InstaShow’s email to you notifying you of such change. Rejecting a new change, however, does not revoke or alter your prior consent to any earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between you and InstaShow (or your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain in effect and enforceable as to any Dispute between you and InstaShow.

19.14 Survival. Except as provided in Section 19.12 and subject to Section 15.8, this Section 19 will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the InstaShow Platform or terminate your InstaShow Account.

20. Feedback

We welcome and encourage you to provide feedback, comments and suggestions for improvements to the InstaShow Platform (“Feedback“). You may submit Feedback by emailing us, through the “Contact” section of the InstaShow Platform, or by other means of communication. Any Feedback you submit to us will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary to you. By submitting Feedback to us, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, sub-licensable, perpetual license to use and publish those ideas and materials for any purpose, without compensation to you.

21. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

21.1 If your country of residence or establishment is the United States, these Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Pennsylvania and the United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions) that are excluded from the Arbitration Agreement in Section 19 must be brought in state or federal court in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania unless we both agree to some other location. You and we both consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

22. General Provisions

22.1 Except as they may be supplemented by additional terms and conditions, policies, guidelines or standards, these Terms constitute the entire Agreement between InstaShow and you pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between InstaShow and you in relation to the access to and use of the InstaShow Platform.

22.2 No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and InstaShow as a result of this Agreement or your use of the InstaShow Platform.

22.3 These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties.

22.4 If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be struck and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

22.5 InstaShow’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise permitted under law.

22.6 You may not assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement and your rights and obligations hereunder without InstaShow’s prior written consent. InstaShow may without restriction assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement and any rights and obligations hereunder, at its sole discretion, with 30 days prior notice. Your right to terminate this Agreement at any time remains unaffected.

22.7 Unless specified otherwise, any notices or other communications to Members permitted or required under this Agreement, will be provided electronically and given by InstaShow via email, InstaShow Platform notification, or messaging service (including SMS and WeChat).
