Maintenance of Availability & Double Bookings

A property is considered to be booked and unavailable at any given point in time for a specific date range if it has been committed either verbally or literally to a party and neither the Owner and/or Contact are accepting any other firm reservations from any other parties for overlapping dates.
The Owner and/or Contact must accurately and quickly update their AlluraDirect.com availability calendar in a timely manner to display booked dates, as previously defined, irrespective of whether or not they have received payment for booked dates. Booked dates are displayed in the property display calendars with a red X.
Owners and/or Contacts should not cancel a reservation if they have made a verbal or written commitment to a Guest, for the purpose of replacing the committed reservation with a more desirable reservation with overlapping dates or cancel a Guest reservation for personal use.
Neither the Owner nor the Contact is permitted to book multiple, independent parties into the same property for over-lapping dates.
The Owner and/or Contact assume all financial and personal accountability for personal mistakes that generate double bookings. Should an Owner and/or Contact incur a double booking and choose to cancel the booking from AlluraDirect.com they can approach the situation in two ways:

Maintain a positive account standing on AlluraDirect.com and relocate the Guest, to a comparable property (size category, location and amenities) with priority given to a property in the same building with the same decor, bed configuration and amenity standards. Any additional costs for the relocation will be assume by the Owner/Contact.
Incur a strike against their Owner account and simply issue a full refund. AlluraDirect.com can terminate an Owner account with a negative standing at any time without a refund.

The Owner and/or Contact will respond to ALL Reservation Requests, General Inquiries, e-mail and phone calls generated by AlluraDirect.com within 48 hours, irrespective of whether or not they will accept the Guest's reservation. It is highly recommended that the Owner and/or Contact uses the Vacation Mode function as an auto responder.

Rates, Taxes, Specials and Surcharges

The Owner and/or Contact will provide full disclosure of nightly rates in the national currency appropriate for their resort, in the Rates Table, under the searchable column labeled "Rates (night)" in their property page Rates Table. These rates must be based on the maximum advertised sleeping capacity located in the Summary Display. The rate published in Search Results and in the Rates column on the Owner and/or Contact's property page must be honoured exactly as published , irrespective of any disclaimers or other comments associated with the Rates Table, such as in the Comments section above the Rates Table or associated with the season in question.
The Owner and/or Contact must honour Minimum Night Stays as they appear in search results. For example, if a Guest searches for a 1 night stay and the Owner has configured a Rates Season with a 1 minimum night stay, the Owner and/or Contact must accept a 1 night booking for the Rates Season in question, irrespective of any additional comments or disclaimers associated with the Rates Table Comments or general Rates Table description.
Any surcharges not charged and collected by the Owner and/or Contact, but that are charged to the Guest by a third party upon arrival to the property, must be fully disclosed in the Owner and/or Contact's Rates Table in the Comments box associated with the season.

Guest must have complete information to self-sufficiently access the unit independent of additional in-resort assistance, even if a meet and greet has been arranged for. A meet and greet service alone is not an acceptable check-in method.
So that AlluraDirect.com can assist a Guest in the event that neither the Owner nor Contact can be reached, the Owner and/or Contact will register into their AlluraDirect.com web sites under Contact Info>Emergency Info, the names, phone numbers of in-resort services suppliers who would be able to assist a guest with checking-in, in the Owner and/or Contact's absence. In addition, the Owner and/or Contact will register any other important check-in information so that their Guests are never stranded, and without assistance in the Owner and/or Contact's absence.

If the property IS inhabitable, but is NOT as fully advertised on the site or does not meet reasonable expectations, the Guest is entitled to financial compensation from the Owner and/or Contact.

Compensation must be monetary, in the form of cash, not gift certificates or free/discounted future night stays.
All advertised amenities must be in full working condition upon Guest arrival. If the amenity is not in working condition, the Owner will repair/replace it within 24 hours in order to not negatively impact the Guest stay experience. If the Owner is unable to repair/replace the amenity within 24 hours, the Owner will offer the Guest compensation that minimally meets the lesser of either AlluraDirect.com’s or the Guest’s satisfaction. Compensation must be monetary, in the form of cash, not gift certificates or discounted future night stays.
Emergency Check-In Procedures & Standards (see section 110-116) will be initiated in the event that the property has not been cleaned or is uninhabitable by the check-in times published in the property's Policies Table.

If the unauthenticated Guest registers a formal complaint against the Owner and supplied sufficient information that matches them to the booking, then AlluraDirect.com will initiate the Complaint Procedure. Should the Owner and/or Contact be found to be in non-compliance with required standards outlined in this Agreement, the Owner and/or Contact will be required to compensate the Guest. Their associated property page accounts will be suspended until the complaint is successfully resolved.

The Owner and/or Contact will not refer AlluraDirect.com business leads to non-AlluraDirect.com-listed web sites or vacation rental or Guest services-related businesses by phone, email, or any other communication methods, or by content on the AlluraDirect.com property page.
The Owner and/or Contact agree that vacation rental reservation and vacation services business prospects generated by AlluraDirect.com by phone or email are for the exclusive use of AlluraDirect.com for supplying vacation rental reservations to properties and Guest services suppliers that are visibly listed on AlluraDirect.com. Owner and/or Contacts may not refer AlluraDirect.com-generated vacation rental prospects to properties or businesses that are not listed on AlluraDirect.com.
The acquisition of an AlluraDirect.com vacation rental reservation business lead by an Owner and/or Contact does not grant to the Owner and/or Contact exclusive ownership rights of the vacation rental or Guest services business lead. The reservation business lead may be used by any and all AlluraDirect.com-listed Owners, Contacts and AlluraDirect.com itself for the purposes of renting AlluraDirect.com-listed vacation rentals and selling AlluraDirect.com-listed vacation services.
Neither the Owner nor the Contact may sell on a commission basis, AlluraDirect.com-generated vacation rental reservation leads to other Owner and/or Contacts listed or unlisted on AlluraDirect.com.
The Owner and/or Contact agree to conduct their rental business on AlluraDirect.com and with prospective and actual Guests who have accessed the Owner and/or Contact via AlluraDirect.com, in accordance with the Canadian and International privacy laws. The consequences of failing to do so are the legal burden of the Owner and/or Contact.
The Owner and/or Contact are restricted from releasing, selling, or making known to any third parties, any information provided by prospective or actual Guests who access the Owner and/or Contact through AlluraDirect.com, except with the Guest's or prospective Guest's written consent.

Baiting & Switching

Neither the Owner nor the Contact are permitted to book a Guest into a property listed on AlluraDirect.com, then transfer the Guest, without their advance knowledge or written consent, to another property.

In-Resort Emergency Check-Ins: Procedures & Standards

If the Guest is experiencing a check-in difficulty and contacts AlluraDirect.com, AlluraDirect.com will authenticate the Guest and their reservation through the AlluraDirect.com web site and convey the appropriate check-in information as available from the AlluraDirect.com web site.
If the Guest cannot be authenticated, but can be indirectly matched to booking dates on the availability calendar, AlluraDirect.com will give the Guest the Owner or Contact information that is publicly displayed on the property page. AlluraDirect.com will also notify the Owner, Contact and registered Emergency Contact via all available published and unpublished contact information, to advise them to contact the Guest ASAP. AlluraDirect.com will also assist the unauthenticated Guest with relocation, if necessary. AlluraDirect.com cannot do anything further for Guests who cannot be authenticated by both Username and Booking ID. If the unauthenticated Guest registers a formal complaint against the Owner and supplied sufficient information that matches them to the booking, then AlluraDirect.com will initiate the Complaint Procedure.
If it is evident that the Owner and/or Contact has not complied with the TOSSA; the Owner and/or Contact will pay for all relocation expenses and refund the Guest the first night stay. The Owner and/or Contacts associated property pages will be temporarily inactivated until the complaint is successfully resolved and all payments have been made.
Should authenticated Guest check-in information be inaccurate, unavailable or otherwise useless, AlluraDirect.com will use all means available to first contact the Owner and/or Contact, then the registered Emergency Contact to get assistance.
Should AlluraDirect.com fail to receive a response from either the Owner, Contact or any Emergency Contact within 60 minutes post published check-in time, AlluraDirect.com will begin billing the Owner and/or Contact at a rate of $100 CAD + GST/per hour from the time that the Guest initially contacted AlluraDirect.com, until the Guest requests to be relocated and the relocation process has been completed.
AlluraDirect.com will bill the Owner and/or Contact's credit card on file for both AlluraDirect.com's support and for any relocation expenses incurred by the Guest.
Should the Guest be locked out for more than 3 hours from the published check -in time or if property was not cleaned upon Guest's arrival, AlluraDirect.com will begin Guest relocation procedures to as comparable a property as possible. In the event that a comparable property cannot be booked, AlluraDirect.com will make every effort possible to secure suitable lodging for the Guest at the most reasonable price possible. The Owner and or their Contact must compensate the Guest for their first night stay plus all additional costs associated with relocation. The Owner's and/or Contact's property page and any additional property pages associated with either the Owner or Contact, will be temporarily inactivated until the Guest and AlluraDirect.com have been compensated AND the property page (s) in question has been updated with the correct check-in related information.
Should AlluraDirect.com be unable to collect from the Owner and/or Contact's credit card, the property page will be temporarily inactivated until payments to AlluraDirect.com and/or the Guest have been made.

Guest Complaints & Subsequent Investigation

All Complaints-related communications between AlluraDirect.com, Guests and Owners will be handled by email via complaints@alluradirect.com. Neither the AlluraDirect.com Complaints Group, nor AlluraDirect.com Staff will discuss or mediate formally registered Complaints by phone.
Complaints against inactive properties will be treated as though the property is active.
All formal complaints received from Guests against rental operations listed on AlluraDirect.com will be documented, investigated and tracked by AlluraDirect.com. Every property listing will have associated with it a complaints history, irrespective of the legitimacy of the complaints.
If a single complaint is registered against a single property, then the complaint and all actions taken by AlluraDirect.com impacts all property pages registered by the same Owner and/or Contact. Therefore, should the property page be inactivated, then all AlluraDirect.com property pages associated with the Owner and/or Contact will also be inactivated.
If a complaint is registered against the Contact, then AlluraDirect.com reserves the right to notify the Owner directly with complete details.
Multiple complaints will result in the permanent inactivation without a refund of all property listings associated with the Owner and/or Contact.
To give owners maximum opportunity to resolve any problems guest must have contacted owner during stay. AlluraDirect.com will notify the Owner and/or Contact, via email, of the complaint and the complaint circumstances, and will give the Owner and/or Contact 48 hours to respond to the Guest and AlluraDirect.com regarding their perspective on the complaint.
If the Owner and/or Contact fails to respond to AlluraDirect.com via email, within 48 hours, the property will be automatically inactivated from AlluraDirect.com without refund until the Owner and/or Contact contacts AlluraDirect.com via email.
AlluraDirect.com will consider the complaint in light of the Guest's, Owner's and Contact's comments and this Subscription Agreement, and make a decision regarding the complaint's legitimacy in so far as the Owner and/or Contact's operation, role and conduct.
To maximize objectivity and a successful outcome for all parties, AlluraDirect.com requires tangible evidence. Guests are encouraged to provide copies of all email correspondence, photographs, and contact information of unrelated third parties who may have witnessed the incident.

- offer compensation within a reasonable timeframe that minimally meets the lesser of either AlluraDirect.com's or the Guest's satisfaction and
- make the necessary proactive business and web site operational changes to prevent future complaints of a similar nature.

AlluraDirect.com, where appropriate, will suggest a minimum reasonable complaint resolution strategy and operations adjustments to the Owner and/or Contact.

If the Owner and/or Contact:
- fail to compensate in a timely way Guests who are deemed to have legitimate complaints against the Owner and/or Contact, and
- fail to make the required operational enhancements necessary to avoid future complaints,

the Owner and/or Contact's AlluraDirect.com property listing, and all other property listings, will be inactivated without refund until the Owner and/or Contact resolve the complaint to the lesser of either AlluraDirect.com's or the Guest's satisfaction and any compensation to AlluraDirect.com has been made.

AlluraDirect.com reserves the right to notify all future Guests of a property page inactivation as a result of a complaint.
