Advertiser Terms and Conditions

Your responsibilities as a One Off Places Advertiser:

Ensuring your page information is accurate

Ensure the information on your page of the One Off Places website is accurate and contact us if any updates are needed.   You are not allowed to have your direct contact details on the listing page as it’s important that all enquiries come via One Off Places so we can track them effectively.  Please note that a large proportion of traffic to oneoffplaces.co.uk comes from people searching on the web.  We will ensure that page titles are written with SEO in mind – this means that we may well not use the actual name of your property in the title page.

Reply as quickly as possible to enquiries

Please ensure that you reply to enquiries as quickly as possible.  People may have sent enquiries to several properties, so your quick response is likely to give you a better conversion rate!  If enquirers are having trouble getting hold of you, this will not reflect well on One Off Places, and we reserve the right to remove your pages from the site if the problem persists.

Declaring bookings (commission model)

It is the responsibility of the property owner to declare all bookings which arise as a result of a One Off Places enquiry.  You must declare the total value of the booking as well as the month of departure and duration of the holiday.   Please login to your account and declare the booking at the time it is made.  You will not be invoiced for this booking until the month on which the booking takes place.   One Off Places reserves the right to remove listings from the site where property owners persistently fail to declare their bookings.  Please note that all enquirers are contacted by One Off Places to discuss whether they made a booking.

Payment and invoicing

For advertisers on the commission model, your invoice will be issued during the month in which the guest is staying with you and is payable within seven days. All invoices are in £ sterling and must be paid in £ sterling.  All bank charges to be covered by you.  Failure to make payment within the requested time period might result in your listing being removed from www.oneoffplaces.co.uk.

Layout and copy on One Off Places web site

One Off Places Limited reserves the right to determine the final design, layout and functionality of the One Off Places web site.  One Off Places Limited reserves the right to edit copy or amend the layouts or photographs supplied, should it be considered necessary. One Off Places Limited reserves the right, at its discretion, to amend and edit copy entered into the One Off Places online database by advertisers. One Off Places Limited cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage resulting from the design or positioning of the properties or changes made to the photographs and copy submitted by the customer. 

Accuracy

One Off Places cannot accept any legal responsibility for the accuracy of the advertisements, or any alleged breaches of contract on an advertiser's part and the advertiser indemnifies One Off Places Limited against all costs, expenses and losses arising out of a claim relating to the content of an advertisement. One Off Places reserves the right to remove any listing from the website which is not presenting itself in an honest light.

Photographic materials

One Off Places Limited will make every effort to safeguard all materials supplied, and return them if required, but cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage, however caused, and for any loss or damage sustained.  Every effort will be made to reproduce faithfully all advertisements submitted, but One Off Places Limited cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage or otherwise resulting from errors or omissions. 

Liability

One Off Places Limited does not warrant that the operation of the One Off Places site will be uninterrupted or error-free.  In no event shall One Off Places Limited be liable to the advertiser for any special, consequential, incidental or indirect damages, including lost profits.   One Off Places accepts no responsibility for any behaviour of any persons who have made an enquiry through www.oneoffplaces.co.uk.  Advertisers accept all responsibility and liability for their accommodation and their clients and agree that One Off Places has no liability.

Copyright

One Off Places Limited shall be entitled to reproduce part or whole of any photographic material supplied by the advertiser. One Off Places Limited claims copyright to the electronic images of the photographic material supplied by advertisers. It is the advertiser's responsibility to obtain reproduction permission for all photographic and other material used in their advertisements. The advertiser warrants that he is the owner of the copyright in such material or is authorised by the owner thereof to grant to One Off Places Limited the rights therein contained. One Off Places Limited cannot be held responsible for any infringement of copyright laws resulting from material supplied by the advertisers and the advertiser indemnifies One Off Places Limited against any action brought for breach of copyright or other rights from the use of such material supplied by the advertiser. One Off Places Limited cannot be held responsible for any infringement of copyright laws resulting from material supplied by the advertisers. 

Hypertext links

One Off Places reserves the right to refuse hypertext links to, or addresses of, other web sites from advertisers' pages, and to remove links, email addresses or web addresses without notice at our sole discretion. 

Testimonials

Any entries in the testimonial section must be genuine comments from guests who have stayed at the property advertised. The e-mail address of the guests whose comments are given must be supplied on request. 

Substitution of properties

An advertisement relates to a specific property. The property in an advertisement may not be substituted by another property. Each advertisement on the One Off Places site displays an individual property where people will spend their holidays - not examples of properties in a given area. Only one property can appear on each advertisement, unless it is a property with multiple rental units on the same site, and additional advertising units are purchased. One Off Places reserves the right to amend the copy or remove the advertisement, when more than one property is described in the advertisement. 

Termination of advertising

If advertisers wish to have their advertisement removed from the Internet before the end of their subscription period, this will be done, but no refunds will be paid. One Off Places Limited reserves the right to refuse any advertisement for the One Off Places web site, and will not be liable for any loss or expense in so doing. If an advertiser attempts to enter unsuitable material into the One Off Places on-line database, or persistently misuses the on-line systems, One Off Places Limited reserves the right to remove the property from the One Off Places site. No refunds will be paid.  If One Off Places Limited receives a complaint from a person who has rented an advertiser's property which One Off Places Limited, acting reasonably, consider is justified, or an advertiser knowingly double-books a property, or engages in any unacceptable practices or is in breach of its obligations to One Off Places Limited, then One Off Places Limited reserves the right to remove the property from the One Off Places web site without notice. 

Authorization to Export Data

Advertiser acknowledges that in the sole discretion of One Off Places Limited, it may be necessary to keep a copy of the advertiser content and information outside the United Kingdom and the European Union. If such a copy is made it will be used only in the day to day operations of One Off Places Limited or its direct affiliates, and will not be shared with any third party. 

Payment

Payment for advertising must be in British Pounds by credit or debit card, Paypal, cheque, or bank transfer. 

VAT (Value Added Tax)

Our services are defined for VAT purposes under paragraph 3, Schedule 5, VATA 1994.  We are legally required to charge VAT at the standard rate to advertisers who are either resident in the UK; or private individuals resident in the EU.  If you are resident outside the EU, VAT will not be charged as our services are outside the scope of UK VAT when provided to you.  If you are an EU resident (except in the UK) and if you confirm that you are "In business", we will not charge UK VAT.  "In business", for this purpose, means that you rent property on a regular basis to generate income. 

EU residents (except UK)

By confirming you are "In business" you may be required to account for VAT in your local jurisdiction. Residency is interpreted for VAT purposes as the country where the individual has set up home and is in employment. 

Legal jurisdiction

These terms and conditions are governed by English law and advertisers accept the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts to rule on any disputes.
