Renter Terms

4.1 Searching and Booking

When you book a Listing, you are entering into a direct rental agreement with the Host. Catalani Locations is not a party to that agreement. You agree to pay all charges associated with your booking, including the Listing price, the Platform Fee, and any applicable taxes.

4.2 Your Responsibilities as a Renter

You are responsible for:

• Leaving the location in the same condition you found it.
• Complying with all rules and requirements specified in the Listing.
• Ensuring all members of your party comply with the Host’s policies.
• Obtaining any permits, insurance, or licenses required for your production or event.
• Acting with respect for the Host, co-host, neighbors, and the property at all times.

4.3 Assumption of Risk

You acknowledge that film, photography, event, and creative productions carry inherent risks. You assume full responsibility for assessing whether a location is suitable for your intended use. Catalani Locations does not inspect listings or verify their suitability for any specific production.

4.4 Damage

You are liable for any damage caused to a Listing during your booking. Catalani Locations may facilitate communication regarding damage claims but is not responsible for resolving disputes between Hosts and Renters regarding property damage.

Host Terms

5.1 Listing Your Location

As a Host, you may list your property on the Platform in accordance with these Terms. Your listing must include accurate, complete, and up-to-date information about your location, pricing, availability, rules, and any restrictions on use.

5.2 Contracting with Renters

When a Renter books your listing, you enter into a direct rental agreement with that Renter. Catalani Locations is not a party to that agreement. You are responsible for delivering the location as described in your listing and honoring the terms of each booking.

5.3 Your Legal Obligations

You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable laws, regulations, zoning rules, homeowner association restrictions, lease agreements, and insurance requirements that apply to your property and hosting activities. This includes any permits required for commercial filming or events at your location.

5.4 Hosting with a Co-Host or Team

If you work with a co-host or host as part of a team or organization, you remain solely responsible and liable as the Host under these Terms for the acts and omissions of every individual who participates in delivering your hosting services. You are responsible for informing any co-host or team member of your obligations under these Terms.

If you authorize Catalani Locations to split a portion of your payout to a co-host, you represent that you are authorized to make that instruction, and you are solely liable for the accuracy of all payout information you provide.

5.5 Host Independence

Your relationship with Catalani Locations is that of an independent individual or entity. You are not an employee, agent, joint venturer, or partner of Catalani Locations. We do not direct or control how you provide your hosting services.

5.6 Insurance

You are strongly encouraged to obtain appropriate insurance coverage for your property and hosting activities. You may require Renters to carry production insurance as a condition of booking, and we recommend you disclose this requirement clearly in your listing.

Co-Host Terms

6.1 What Is a Co-Host

A Co-Host is a person authorized by a Host to assist in managing a listing, communicating with Renters, coordinating access, or handling other aspects of a booking on the Host’s behalf. Co-Hosts may be friends, family members, property managers, or any other trusted individual designated by the Host.

6.2 Host Responsibility for Co-Hosts

By adding a Co-Host or granting them access to manage a listing, the Host represents and warrants that the Co-Host is authorized to act on the Host’s behalf. The Host remains solely responsible and liable for all actions taken by their Co-Host in connection with any listing or booking. Catalani Locations holds the Host — not the Co-Host — accountable for all hosting obligations under these Terms.

6.3 Co-Host Payouts

Where the Platform provides payout-splitting functionality, a Host may elect to allocate a portion of their booking payout to a Co-Host (“Co-Host Payout”). Any such allocation is subject to both the Host and Co-Host confirming the split arrangement on the Platform. Payout splits take effect for bookings confirmed after the split is activated.

Catalani Locations processes Co-Host Payouts solely as a payment facilitator pursuant to a Host’s instruction. We are not responsible for any disputes between a Host and Co-Host regarding payout amounts, timing, or entitlement.

6.4 Co-Host Independence from Catalani Locations

Catalani Locations does not employ, engage, direct, or control Co-Hosts. The formation of a co-hosting arrangement between a Host and Co-Host does not create any employment, agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship between either party and Catalani Locations.

Catalani Locations is not obligated to mediate disputes between Hosts and Co-Hosts. Any such disputes are the exclusive responsibility of the parties involved.

6.5 Co-Host Taxes

Co-Hosts are solely responsible for determining and fulfilling all applicable tax obligations arising from any payouts or compensation they receive through or in connection with the Platform. Catalani Locations does not provide tax advice to Co-Hosts.

6.6 Private Co-Host Agreements

Catalani Locations strongly recommends that Hosts and Co-Hosts formalize their arrangement in a private written agreement that covers roles, responsibilities, compensation, payout percentages, liability, and termination. We provide a template as a courtesy, but we are not responsible for the adequacy, enforceability, or terms of any private agreement entered into between a Host and Co-Host. Consult a qualified attorney if you have questions about your legal obligations.

Platform Fees

Catalani Locations charges a platform service fee to facilitate bookings. The current fee structure is:

• Host Fee: 9% of the total booking value, deducted from the Host’s payout.
• Renter Fee: 9% of the total booking value, added to the Renter’s total at checkout.

Fees are subject to change. We will provide notice of any fee changes with reasonable advance notice. Continued use of the Platform following any fee change constitutes your acceptance of the updated fee structure. For full details, see our Fee Overview page.

Platform Fees are non-refundable except as explicitly stated in our Cancellation Policy or required by applicable law.

Cancellations & Refunds

Cancellations and refunds are governed by the Cancellation Policy selected by the Host for their listing and our platform-level Cancellation Policy. Please review the applicable policy before booking.

You are solely responsible for ensuring all content you submit is accurate, lawful, and not misleading. Catalani Locations does not verify the accuracy of listing content and is not liable for any inaccuracies.

9.3 Reviews

Reviews may not contain defamatory, discriminatory, or abusive language. Catalani Locations reserves the right to remove reviews that violate these standards.

Conduct & Prohibited Uses

You agree not to use the Platform to:

• Engage in any unlawful activity or facilitate illegal productions.
