b. Interpretation. Words importing the singular number only shall include the plural and vice versa and words importing the masculine gender shall include the feminine. The headings are intended solely for convenience of reference and will be given no effect in the interpretation or construction of these Enterprise Customer Terms of Service.

2. Use of the Platform and our Services
a. Use. Our Platform allows you to share your accommodation (“Accommodation”) or offer activities, experiences, and services (“Experiences”) (which for the purposes of these Business Customer Terms of Services, Accommodations and Experiences are collectively considered Customer Services within the meaning of the Master Terms of Service) with Guests (a “Listing”). We do not direct or control your Customer Services to Guests, and you are responsible for setting your prices, availability, and terms of your Customer Services with Guests. Your relationship with us is that of an independent individual or entity and not an employee, agent, joint venturer, or partner of the Company. When you accept a booking request, or receive a booking confirmation through the Platform, you are entering into a contract directly with the Guest. Any terms, policies, or conditions that you include in any supplemental contract with Guests must: (i) be consistent with the Agreement and the information provided in your Listing, and (ii) be prominently disclosed in your Listing description.
b. Managing Listings. The Platform provides tools for you to set up and manage a Listing. Your Listing must include complete and accurate information about your Accommodation, Experiences, and other or related Customer Services including your prices and other charges like cleaning fees, resort fees, offline fees, and any rules or requirements that apply to your Guests or Listing. You are responsible for keeping your Listing information (including calendar availability) and content (like photos and descriptions) up-to-date and accurate at all times. We recommend that you obtain appropriate insurance for your services and suggest you carefully review policy terms and conditions including coverage details and exclusions. You may only maintain one Listing per Accommodation, but may have multiple Listings for a single property if it has multiple places to stay. Similarly, you may only have one Listing per Experience.
c. Authorized Users. You will receive access to the Platform for up to the number of Authorized Users indicated on the applicable Order. You may increase the number of Authorized Users at any time during the Term, in accordance with our then-current process, provided that you pay the applicable Fees for the number of Authorized Users accessing the Platform exceeding the maximum number specified in the applicable original Order. To access the Platform, Authorized Users must accept our acceptable use terms applicable to Authorized Users as provided on the Platform or on our website, which may be updated by us from time to time. Any acts or omissions of an Authorized User in connection with that Authorized User’s use of the Services is deemed to be an act or omission by you. You are solely responsible for promptly notifying us if an Authorized User is no longer using the Platform, whether by contacting us or through the Authorized User management mechanisms (if any) we provide in the Platform, and we will promptly remove such Authorized User’s access to the Platform. You agree to ensure that your Authorized Users use the Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement. .

The Platform may allow you to collect e-signatures on waivers of liability, consents, agreements, and other documents. You acknowledge and agree that we provide the e-signature functionality solely for you to obtain signatures electronically and for temporary storage of documents according to the storage limits set out in your Order. We do not guarantee or warrant that the e-signature service creates binding or legally enforceable agreements in any jurisdiction, and we have no liability of any kind regarding your use of the feature. You remain solely responsible for ensuring the enforceability and suitability of any document that you or your customers sign through the e-signature feature of the Platform, and for regularly downloading and retaining copies of all such e-signed documents. This subsection survives the termination of the Agreement for any reason.
