Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Upstay ("Upstay," "we," or "us") and our website at www.upstay.com along with our related websites, networks, and other services provided by us (collectively, the "Service(s)"). The terms "Upstay", "we", "us" refers to Upstay Inc., a Delaware corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliates. These Terms of Service (together with the Additional Terms (defined in Section 18.5), the "Agreement") and, for users outside the United Kingdom and the European Union, our Privacy Policy (defined in Section 18.6)) govern your use of the Service and Properties (defined in Section 1). This Agreement is a legally binding contract between you and us regarding your use of the Service and Properties. Failure to use the Service or Properties in accordance with this Agreement may subject you to civil and criminal penalties.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY.

BY CLICKING "I ACCEPT" (OR WORDS TO SIMILAR EFFECT) BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE OR PROPERTIES, OR BY SIGNING A SEPARATE AGREEMENT WITH UPSTAY THAT EXPRESSLY INCORPORATES BY REFERENCE THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD, AND, AS A CONDITION TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR PROPERTIES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY, THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE, OR DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT, THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE OUR PERMISSION OR ANY RIGHT TO USE THE SERVICE OR PROPERTIES. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR PROPERTIES, AND OUR PROVISION OF THE SERVICE TO YOU AND EXPRESS LICENSE OR PERMISSION FOR YOU TO USE THE PROPERTIES (IF APPLICABLE), CONSTITUTE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN US AND YOU TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT.

ARBITRATION NOTICE FOR USERS OUTSIDE THE UNITED KINGDOM ("UK") AND THE EUROPEAN UNION ("EU"). Except for certain kinds of disputes described in Section 17, you agree that disputes arising under this Agreement will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, and BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND UPSTAY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Service Overview. Upstay Inc. acquires rights and/or interests in accommodation for the onward supply of accommodation to travelers staying in the United States and countries other than Mexico. We provide information on physical properties managed, owned, licensed, leased, rented, and/or developed by us or any of our affiliates (each a "Property" and collectively the "Properties"). You may use the Service to make legitimate reservations for certain Properties for short-term rentals (each a "STA/Hotel Reservation"), or longer-term accommodations (each an "Extended Stay Reservation") and to obtain from us our express (i.e., written) permission for you to use such Properties for non-commercial purposes only for a certain period of time, in all cases, only in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The "Service(s)" excludes any and all Properties and any and all rights of use or possession therein or thereof, but includes services provided by us or a third-party service provider to you on or around a Booked Property (defined in Section 6.2) in connection with your permitted use of the Properties (if applicable), whether you reserve such Properties directly from us or a third party ("On-Site Services"").
Supplier of Record. Depending on the location of the Properties, the following Upstay affiliates will be the supplier of record with respect to our Services:

Upstay Inc., a Delaware corporation, located at 876 Duncan Avenue, Kissimmee, Florida 34744.

If you are utilizing Services in connection with Properties located in the U.S. or any country globally, you are contracting with Upstay Inc. Note that we reserve the right to replace any Supplier of Record at any time and without notice. Other Upstay entities ("Upstay Support Entities"), may provide Services, including concierge, housekeeping, customer support, and other support services in connection with your use of the Properties. Upstay Support Entities do not have any authority or obligation to provide Services or Property Management under the contract with you. Similarly, you do not have a contractual relationship with Upstay Support Entities. Upstay Support Entities are not authorized to act as an agent for any Supplier of Record.

Background Checks. You acknowledge and agree that for transparency, safety, fraud prevention, and anti-money laundering purposes, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, we may, but have no obligation to, before and/or while you reserve and/or occupy a Property, including without limitation, before and/or during any renewal or extension: (a) require that you provide us with a form of government identification or other information sufficient to assist us with undertaking the background checks described in Sections 4(b)-(c); (b) screen you against third party databases or other sources and request reports (e.g., credit checks) regarding you from service providers (if available); and (c) for users outside of the UK and EU, obtain reports from public records of criminal convictions or sex offender registrations or an equivalent version of background or registered sex offender checks (if available). You hereby consent to our undertaking the foregoing background checks and to our processing of the resulting information in accordance with our Privacy Policy (if applicable), including sharing with landlords, property owners and/or their property managers (any of the foregoing, a "Landlord") the results of background checks for users based in the United States.
Fees and Payment. Certain features of the Service may require you to pay one-time fees. Before you pay any such fees, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. All fees are non-refundable, unless expressly provided otherwise in writing by us.

Fees. We reserve the right to determine pricing for the Service and any products we offer for sale, including, without limitation, for On-Site Services, or Properties that you may reserve to through the Service. We will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information that is published on our website up to date, but may not necessarily provide all specific pricing information online. We encourage you to check our website periodically for current pricing information. We may change any of this pricing information (including by adding applicable taxes, fees or charges) at any time. We, in our sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any of our customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, will not apply to you or this Agreement.
Currency. If you request a reservation or purchase certain Services, including for On-Site Services, you will be notified of the currency in which you will be charged. This currency will be determined by us based on the Applicable Payment Method (defined in Section 5.3) and other factors in our reasonable discretion, such as the location of the Property that you are trying to reserve. For your convenience and if the currency you will be charged in is not the same as the currency applicable in your country, we may provide you with an indication of how much the price would approximately be in your own currency. Such indication is merely indicative, not binding, and will depend on the applicable exchange rate of the day. You acknowledge that the applicable exchange rate used for currency conversion processing may not be identical to the applicable market rate in effect at the specific time such processing occurs because: (i) we update the applicable exchange rate on a regular, but not real-time, basis; and (ii) the applicable exchange rate may include an incremental cost or margin that is not included in the applicable market rate.
Authorization. You authorize us to charge all applicable sums (including any applicable security deposits, reservation fees, and other Service fees, including for On-Site Services) for the reservations, and/or other purchases that you make through the Service and, in accordance with Section 7.7, for the Damaged Property Fee (defined in Section 7.7), including all applicable taxes (e.g., goods and services tax, sales tax, value added tax, city taxes, hotel and occupancy tax, etc.), to the payment method specified in your account or that you otherwise indicate when you submit such reservation or enter into a Membership Agreement, Extended Stay Agreement and/or other Order Form to or with us (the "Applicable Payment Method"). Additionally, if the Applicable Payment Method is a credit card, then: (a) we may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to completing your reservation or entering into a Membership Agreement, Extended Stay Agreement or other Order Form with you to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your reservation, any security deposit or other purchase, or any potential Damaged Property Fee that may apply; and (b) you authorize us to place a hold on such credit card for sums sufficient to cover any applicable Damaged Property Fee and any other fees that you owe us under this Agreement.

Our cancellation policy is available online. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IF YOU REQUEST OR COMPLETE A STA/HOTEL RESERVATION FOR ONE OF OUR PROPERTIES THROUGH A THIRD PARTY OR THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE, STRICTER CANCELLATION POLICIES MAY APPLY. PLEASE REVIEW SUCH THIRD-PARTY POLICIES BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR STA/HOTEL RESERVATION REQUEST AND MAKE SURE YOU AGREE WITH THE APPLICABLE CANCELLATION PERIOD.
Cancellations for Extended Stay Reservations.
