Terms of Service

Kindred Concepts, Inc. (“Kindred,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) provides [https://livekindred.com] and the other websites under the [livekindred.com] domain, and corresponding mobile application and Members-only Slack group (collectively, the “Platform(s)”), and access to home swapping services (collectively with the Platforms, the “Services”), subject to your compliance with all the terms, conditions, and notices contained or referenced in these Terms of Service (the “Terms”). By using the Platform(s) and the Services in any way, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”), and all other addendum policies incorporated into these Terms by reference herein, as well as any other legal notices or guidelines posted on the Platform(s).

Kindred offers an online community via the Platforms where accepted users (“Members”) may “house swap” by using credits (“Credits”) earned from making their home(s) (“Homes”) available to other Members for accommodation at agreed-upon times. Members can then use those Credits to stay at other Members’ Homes.

To become a Member and thereby access and use the Services, you must first create an account and register your Home(s). Once Kindred has reviewed and approved your account based on its then-current internal criteria, your Home(s) will be featured and made available for booking by other Members via the Platforms. Members who stay at another Member’s Home are “Guests;” Members who host other Members are “Hosts.” Guests can browse available Homes and request stays through the Platforms.

As a Member, you are solely responsible for keeping your account information accurate and up to date. As the provider of the Platform, Kindred does not directly own, control, offer, or manage any Homes. For the avoidance of doubt, Kindred is not a party to the contracts entered into directly between Hosts and Guests, nor is Kindred a real estate broker, travel agency, or insurer. Kindred is not acting as a representative or agent in any way for any Member.

When using the Services, you are responsible for understanding and agree to comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations and contracts with third parties that apply to you providing accommodation to Guests.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ARBITRATION FOR U.S. CUSTOMERS: WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS YOU ARE AGREEING (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND KINDRED THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY SECTION 22 “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” BELOW FOR DETAILS.

Changes to these Terms or the Services. We may update the Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. If we do, we’ll let you know by posting the updated Terms to the Platforms and/or by sending other communications. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we update them as your continued use of the Services after any such change constitutes your acceptance and agreement to the changes. If you do not agree to any such changes, do not use or access (or continue to use or access) the Services. In order to continually improve your access to or use of the Services, we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice in our sole discretion.
Who May Use the Services?
1. You may use the Services only if you are 18 years or older and capable of forming a binding contract with Kindred, and not otherwise barred from using the Services under applicable law. For certain features of the Services, you will need an account. It’s important that you provide us with accurate, complete and current account information and keep this information up to date. If you don’t, we might have to suspend or terminate your account. To protect your account, keep the account details and password confidential, and notify us right away of any unauthorized use. You’re responsible for all activities that occur under your account. If and as permitted by applicable law, we may, but have no obligation to (i) ask you to provide identification or other information, (ii) undertake checks designed to help verify your identity or background, (iii) screen you against third-party databases or other sources and request reports from service providers, and (iv) obtain reports from public records of criminal convictions or sex offender registrations or their local equivalents.
2. You may use the Home Swapping Service once your application to become a Member has been approved. Before taking trips, Members are responsible for paying any membership fees due to Kindred based on their membership tier and trip details (the “Membership Fee”). The amount of the Membership Fee is included in the Pricing Schedule located at Pricing Schedule. You also have to be an owner or lessee of an “Eligible Property”. An Eligible Property must first be approved by Kindred based on Kindred’s then-current criteria and policies., and meet the requirements set forth in: Property Requirements.
Using the Home Swapping Service.
1. Searching the Homes. Members can use the Platforms to search available Homes based on certain search criteria designated by you. Search criteria include things like destination, trip type, and available dates.
2. Booking. When you book a Home, you are agreeing to pay the service fee (the “Service Fee”) and a fee for the cleaning of the Home before you arrive and after you leave (the “Cleaning Fee,” together with the Service Fee, the “Fees”). All payments of Fees are processed by us. When you receive the booking confirmation, a contract for accommodation (a “Reservation”) is formed directly between you and the Host. In addition to these Terms, you will be agreeing to whatever terms and conditions for the accommodation the Host included in the Reservation. After the Reservation has been made, modification to the Reservation has to be mutually agreed to by the Guest and the Host, and either person may cancel, but cancellation penalties may apply.
3. Concierge Services. Kindred provides Guests with various concierge services during their stay at a Home. These services include things like facilitating communications between the Guest and the Host, acting as principal point of contact if there are any issues with the Home, and providing general customer services. Guests can communicate with their concierge by telephone, email, text, and direct messages.
4. Cancellations and Refunds. In general, if as a Guest you cancel a Reservation, the number of Credits that are refunded to you is determined by our Cancellation Policy. Please see our Cancellation Policy.

2. Contract with Host. As a Guest, when you have a confirmed Reservation, you are entering into a contract directly with the Host, which incorporates all these Terms, and any other terms and conditions agreed to between the Host, Guest, and Kindred in the Reservation.

Hosts may leave pets at home while a Guest is staying provided the Guest has agreed in advance to care for the animal.

The Guest agrees to assume responsibility for the acts, representations, and omissions of their travel companions.

6. Vacating the Home. As a Guest, you must: (i) leave the Home in the same condition as it was in when you arrived; and (ii) vacate the Home at the date and time agreed to in the Reservation. If you do not vacate the Home on the date and time designated in the Reservation, the Host may use legal remedies to force you to vacate which could include imposing monetary penalties on you.

Guest acknowledges and agrees that utilizing the Services may result in injuries, losses or damages, including, without limitation, personal injury or death, or damage to real or personal property.

2. Contract with Guest. As a Host, when you have a confirmed Reservation, you are entering into a contract directly with the Guest, which incorporates all of the terms and conditions contained herein as well as in the Reservation for Guests staying in your Home.
3. Independence of Hosts. The relationship that Host has with Kindred is that of an independent individual or entity and not an employee, agent, joint venturer, or partner of Kindred. Kindred does not direct or control the accommodation provided by you as a Host, and you agree that you have complete discretion whether and when to provide accommodation at your Home, and whether and what parts of your home you wish to make private and/or to restrict access.
4. Home Features. Hosts are responsible for providing Kindred with the features of their Home, including, but not limited to, information regarding bedroom and bath count, size of beds, number of workstations, WiFi speed, amenities, and more. Your member profile must include complete and accurate information about your Home, and you must notify Kindred of any changes.
5. Monitoring devices. To help provide Hosts and Guests with peace of mind, Hosts may have security surveillance devices that monitor the exterior of the Home, provided their presence is disclosed in advance. All other monitoring devices infringe on another person’s privacy and need to be removed or disabled during a Guest’s stay. Rules about devices apply to all cameras, recording devices, smart devices, and monitoring devices.
6. Weapons. Guests may not bring firearms or other weapons into a Member’s home. Hosts’ firearms and weapons must be unloaded, disarmed, and securely stored in a locked container that is inaccessible to Guests or children. Wherever possible, ammunition should be stored separately.
7. Cancellation. You agree that Kindred’s Cancellation Policy and the terms contained therein govern any cancellations.
8. Damage Complaints. It is imperative that Guests treat the Host's homes better than they treat their own. Within two (2) business days of discovering damage, a Host must notify their Kindred concierge with evidence that the Guest, or anyone the Guest invited into the Home, damaged the Host’s Home or the personal property contained therein (“Damage Claim”). All Damage Claims must be made within thirty (30) days of the Guest leaving the Home. Kindred and Guest will have no obligation or liability under these Terms with respect to a Damage Claim that is made after thirty (30) days of the Guest leaving the Home. Kindred will notify the Guest if the Damage Claim is over $200.00. Kindred will work collaboratively with the Host and Guest to find an acceptable solution, so long as the parties act with honesty and in good faith. Kindred will indemnify the Host for a Damage Claim up to $100,000.00 provided that Kindred (i) can investigate the Damage Claim; (ii) deem it accidental; and (iii) the Host’s damage is not covered by existing insurance policies. Guests will be given an opportunity to respond to the Damage Claim. Kindred reserves the right to seek reimbursement for accidental or intentional damage from a Member or their existing insurance policies if Kindred covers repair costs whether or not those costs are later covered by other insurance policies. Guests agree that Kindred may seek to recover from you or under any insurance policies you maintain and that Kindred may also pursue against you any remedies it may have available under applicable law, including referral of the matter to a collections agency, and/or pursuit of available causes of action and/or claims against you. Members agree to cooperate in good faith and provide any information Kindred requests in connection with Damage Claims, Host complaints, claims under insurance policies, or other claims related to your provision or use of the Home Swapping Service.
9. Liability Insurance. Hosts should acquire and maintain suitable insurance coverage for themselves, and their property related to Hosts’ decision to engage in Home Swapping. Kindred shall include Hosts as an Additional Insured on its Commercial General Liability Coverage (the “Liability Coverage”). As an Additional Insured under the Liability Coverage, Hosts may receive liability coverage for up to one million U.S. dollars ($1,000,000). View more information about this Liability Coverage here. Hosts should carefully review the Liability Coverage terms and conditions including coverage details and exclusions.
10. Legal Obligations. Hosts are responsible for understanding and complying with any laws, rules, regulations, and contracts with third parties that apply to their Home. Since this is “house swap”, Kindred does not classify this as a rental. Some jurisdictions require Hosts to register, get a permit, or obtain a license before providing this type of accommodation. In some places, providing accommodation at their Home may be prohibited altogether. Some jurisdictions require that Hosts register Guests who stay at their Home. Some jurisdictions have laws that create tenancy rights for Guests and additional obligations for Hosts. Some places have landlord-tenant, rent control, and eviction laws that may apply to longer stays. You must check applicable local rules to learn what rules apply to the accommodation you intend to offer. Information Kindred provides regarding legal requirements is for informational purposes only and you should independently confirm your legal obligations. You are responsible for handling and using personal data of Guests and others in compliance with applicable privacy laws and these Terms. You should seek legal advice if they have questions about local laws.
11. Assumption of Risk. Hosts acknowledge and agree that utilizing the Services may result in injuries, losses or damages, including, without limitation, personal injury or death, or damage to real or personal property. Hosts assume all risks associated with utilizing the Services, including without limitation all risks arising from or related to the use of pools, hot tubs, or any other body of water on or near Host’s Home, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, waive any claims for said injuries or damages against the Guest or against Kindred.
Kindred Responsibilities. Kindred offers the Services as a technology services provider of the Platform, as well as providing concierge services to Guests. You acknowledge and agree that Kindred is not responsible for any act, omission, or representation made by any Member, whether such representation is made by Kindred on behalf of a Member or by and between the Members directly.

We may ask you to supply additional information relevant to your Transaction, including your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card and your email and postal addresses for billing and notification (such information, “Payment Information”). You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use all payment method(s) represented by any such Payment Information. When you initiate a Transaction, you authorize us to provide your Payment Information to third parties so we can complete your Transaction and to charge your payment method for the type of Transaction you have selected (plus any applicable taxes and other charges). You may need to provide additional information to verify your identity before completing your Transaction (such information is included within the definition of Payment Information).

But if something unexpected happens in the course of completing a Transaction, we reserve the right to cancel your Transaction for any reason; if we cancel your Transaction we’ll refund any payment you have already remitted to us for such Transaction. All payments for Transactions are non-refundable and non-transferable except as expressly provided in these Terms. All fees and applicable taxes, if any, are payable in United States dollars.

In certain circumstances you may be eligible to receive a refund. Please see our Cancellation Policy.

If you purchase a Passport Membership, we (or our third-party payment processor) will automatically charge you each year (or each quarter) on the anniversary of the commencement of your Passport Membership using the Payment Information you have provided until you cancel your membership. No less than thirty (30) days and no more than sixty (60) days before your Passport Membership term ends, or otherwise in accordance with applicable law, Kindred will send you a reminder with the then-current Passport Membership Fee. By agreeing to these Terms and electing to purchase a Passport Membership, you acknowledge that your membership has recurring payment features and you accept responsibility for all recurring payment obligations prior to cancellation of your membership by you or Kindred. Your Passport Membership continues until canceled by you or we terminate your access to or use of the Services in accordance with these Terms.
5. Canceling Kindred Passport Membership. YOUR PURCHASE OF A PASSPORT MEMBERSHIP IS FINAL AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CANCEL THE PURCHASE AND/OR RECEIVE A REFUND OF YOUR PASSPORT MEMBERSHIP AT ANY TIME.
