Those corporate affiliates of Holidayopolis syndicate their advertisements to other entities within the Holidayopolis Companies group and that is why you see them on the Holidayopolis Companies’ websites. As a user, you must be responsible for your use of the Services (including, in particular, the Holidayopolis Companies’ websites), and any transaction involving the Services.
Because neither Holidayopolis nor its corporate affiliates are parties to third-party transactions between customers or users and Advertisers, any dispute or conflict involving an actual or potential transaction between you and an Advertiser, including the quality, condition(s), safety or legality of a product, service or Transaction offered by an Advertiser, the accuracy of the listing Content, the Advertiser’s ability to provide the product, service or Transaction, or your ability to pay for such, is solely the responsibility of each user.
One of Holidayopolis’s corporate affiliates may act as an Advertiser’s limited agent solely for the purpose of transmitting your payment to the Advertiser. You agree to pay an Advertiser, or a Holidayopolis corporate affiliate acting as limited payment collection agent on behalf of an Advertiser, any specified fee(s) charged by the Advertiser for any Vacation Rental reservation or Transaction.
If you enter into a dispute with an Advertiser in the EU, alternative methods for resolving that dispute are available online here: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.
