Client Obligations and Responsibility

These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of the website, the services offered and their contracting by clients, as well as all collective content, and also constitute a binding contract between you and JITKey. Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully each time you access the Website, as they may be amended.

We also recommend that you carefully read our Privacy Policy and Legal Notice, available on this website. If you do not agree with any of our policies, you will not be entitled to obtain information or continue using the website or the Services.

In addition to the other warranties set out in these Terms and Conditions, the client guarantees compliance with the following clauses:

  2. The client acknowledges and agrees that JITKey may subcontract the proposed services.
  3. The client acknowledges that JITKey is not a party to any agreement signed between short-term rental property lessors and guests, nor is it a real estate agency, agent or insurer. JITKey has no control over the conduct of lessors, guests and/or other website users, services offered by third parties or the condition of the accommodation, and disclaims all liability in this respect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
  4. The client is solely responsible for all communications and interactions with potential guests on a property booking platform. JITKey disclaims any liability in this respect.
  5. The client is solely responsible for all listings for their accommodation on the various rental platforms and warrants that the information in all such listings is truthful and accurate. JITKey therefore accepts no liability for any breach of contract between the client and third parties, nor for errors or omissions in any of the listings offered.
  6. JITKey accepts no liability for any damage or theft that may occur at the accommodation.
  7. JITKey accepts no liability for evicting guests who remain in the property beyond the rental period. Likewise, JITKey will not bear any costs, losses or damage they may cause.

  10. Any fee or tax required by the competent authorities where the accommodation is located will be borne by the client.
  11. The client acknowledges responsibility for maintaining the accommodation and does not hold JITKey responsible for any maintenance work required there. JITKey has no obligation to notify the client of the condition of the accommodation. However, JITKey may arrange maintenance work to ensure the contracted services can be provided correctly, and the client authorizes such arrangements. The client will bear the costs of arranging and carrying out that maintenance.
  12. The cost of the cleaning service will be charged to the guest as an additional booking expense. If a booking has no cleaning charge or a charge below the agreed amount, the difference will be charged to the client.

  14. JITKey may act as a mediator in a disagreement between the lessor and the guest through the resolution center of the rental platform on which the property is listed. JITKey reserves the right to participate in resolving a problem between the lessor and the guest and accepts no liability for actions taken during the resolution process.
  15. As some jurisdictions have laws restricting or prohibiting short-term accommodation rentals, JITKey accepts no liability for any administrative or civil penalties that may arise for this reason. JITKey therefore recommends that the client review local, regional and national regulations and consult a lawyer about whether listing their accommodation on a rental platform breaches any regulations.
  16. The client must report any dissatisfaction resulting from the incorrect provision of services offered by JITKey. If it is confirmed that a service was not provided correctly, it will be performed again at no additional charge to the client.
  17. Items used by JITKey to provide its services at the accommodation must be returned if the client decides to terminate the contract, as their cost was borne by JITKey.

  19. JITKey will consult the client to arrange maintenance or emergency work to ensure the services contracted for a guest. The client will pay the corresponding costs of that work as an additional charge.

ANNEX – CONDITIONAL INCOME IMPROVEMENT GUARANTEE

1. What this guarantee covers

JITKey S.L. offers the OWNER a conditional income improvement guarantee, applicable exclusively to the BASIC Plan (price and availability management).

This guarantee is not an absolute promise, but a commitment subject to compliance with the conditions set out in this Annex.

2. How income is measured

Total income paid by guests is compared, according to the official data from the booking platforms.

3. How the comparison is made

The comparison is made by complete calendar quarters:

  • March – May
  • June – August
  • September – November
  • December – February

Each quarter managed by JITKey is compared with the same quarter from the last complete year available.

The minimum analysis period will be one complete quarter.

4. Conditions for the guarantee to apply

The guarantee will be valid provided that:

  • The accommodation has been available for bookings throughout the quarter, without blocks.
  • The OWNER has not imposed restrictions that limit the pricing strategy (high minimum price, minimum stays, booking lead time, etc.).
  • The configured minimum price is not higher than the actual minimum price obtained the previous year.
  • No changes have occurred that harm profitability (capacity, services, works or serious incidents).
  • Price and availability management has been carried out exclusively by JITKey.
  • Tourist demand in the city has not decreased compared with the compared period (according to official INE data).

5. What happens if income does not improve

If, while all the above conditions are met, income is not higher than the comparable period: JITKey will not invoice the BASIC Plan corresponding to that quarter.
