Account Registration
You may register to create an account (WMBRLY Account”) directly via the Site. We will create your WMBRLY Account for your use of the Services based upon your personal information. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information and Content during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current and complete.

You will immediately notify WMBRLY of any unauthorized use of your WMBRLY Account.
Limitation of Liability
WMBRLY is not an owner of the Accommodations. You understand and agree that WMBRLY is not a real estate broker, agent or insurer. WMBRLY enters into agreements with guests, home owners, third party service providers to provide the Services, but WMBRLY has no direct control over the conduct of such parties that are not agents or employees of WMBRLY. Accordingly, WMBRLY is not responsible for any liability related to any Services or Accommodations where the home owner, guest or third party service providers have violated any terms of their respective agreements with WMBRLY. By using the Services, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of Users or third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Users or other third parties who caused you harm and you agree not to attempt to impose liability on, or seek any legal remedy from WMBRLY with respect to actions or omissions of such third parties. This limitation shall not apply to any claim by a Homeowner against WMBRLY regarding the remittance of payments received from a WMBRLY on behalf of a Homeowner, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled “Limitation of Liability”.
User Content
WMBRLY makes no effort to review any User Content for any purpose, including but not limited to, for accuracy, legality or non-infringement and WMBRLY is not responsible for any User Content.
Service Fees
WMBRLY collects service fees from Homeowners and Guests in consideration for the Services. Where applicable, Taxes may also be charged in addition to the Service fees, which WMBRLY will remit to the local taxing authority for the Accommodation. Balances will be remitted by WMBRLY to Homeowners via the payment methods described in the Services. For certain specific services (such as cleaning), WMBRLY will collect service fees from Guests and remit balances due to the local service providers for such services directly. Please note that for any payments by WMBRLY in currencies other than U.S. dollars, WMBRLY may deduct foreign currency processing costs from such payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, Service fees are non-refundable.
Bookings and Financial Terms for Guests
When you, as a Guest, choose to enter into a transaction for the booking of an Accommodation, you agree and understand that you agree to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with such Accommodation imposed by the Homeowner and WMBRLY which are disclosed at the time of booking. You agree to pay WMBRLY for the total fees for any booking. In order to establish a booking, you understand and agree that WMBRLY reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to obtain: (i) a verification of your credit card; or (ii) pre-authorization via your credit card for the total fees. WMBRLYx will collect the total fees in accordance with the terms and conditions of these Terms and the pricing terms set forth in the applicable Listing and booking terms. You hereby authorize the collection of such amounts by charging the credit card provided as part of requesting the booking, either directly by WMBRLY or indirectly, via a third party online payment processor or by one of the payment methods described on the Services. You also authorize WMBRLY to charge your credit card in the event of damage caused at an Accommodation as provided by the “Damage to Accommodations” section of the Guest Agreement. Once your confirmed booking transaction is complete you will receive a confirmation email summarizing your confirmed booking.
Foreign Currency
In the future, WMBRLY may provide a feature through which Users may view total fees for various Listings in foreign currencies. You understand and agree that these views of total fees are for informational purposes only and are not the official total fees for the Listings. If you (as a Guest) request a booking, you will be notified of the currency in which you will be charged together with the corresponding amount of total fees. The currency in which you will be charged will be US Dollars (USD). If the currency in which you will be charged is not USD, you will be responsible for any required currency conversion processing, including the costs thereof, which may be calculated and charged by your credit card provider.
