**TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Last Updated: July 23, 2026

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website operated by Porchlit Properties [insert full legal entity name] (“Porchlit Properties,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), including [insert website address], any related webpages, forms, communications, and services offered through the website collectively, the “Website.”

By accessing or using the Website, submitting an inquiry, requesting services, making a reservation, or otherwise interacting with us electronically, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not use the Website.

1. About Porchlit Properties

Porchlit Properties provides short-term-rental management, property setup, consulting, hospitality, guest-support, marketing, and related services. We may also advertise or facilitate reservations for independently owned or leased accommodations.

The specific services offered may vary by property, location, owner agreement, reservation channel, and applicable law.

Information provided through the Website is intended for general informational and marketing purposes. Nothing on the Website creates a property-management, brokerage, agency, consulting, lodging, partnership, employment, fiduciary, or other contractual relationship unless the parties enter into a separate written agreement.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding contract to use the Website or submit an inquiry.

Some accommodations may have a higher minimum booking age. The applicable minimum age and identification requirements will be disclosed in the listing, rental agreement, or booking terms for the individual property.

By using the Website, you represent that:

The information you provide is accurate and complete;

You have the authority to provide the information and enter into any resulting transaction;

You will comply with these Terms and all applicable laws; and

You will not use the Website for fraudulent, unlawful, or abusive purposes.

3. Website Information and Property Listings

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that descriptions, photographs, rates, availability, amenities, property details, and other information are accurate. However, information may change, and inadvertent errors may occur.

Property photographs may not reflect subsequent changes to furnishings, décor, landscaping, nearby development, views, weather, maintenance conditions, or neighborhood conditions. Features and amenities may be modified, replaced, temporarily unavailable, or removed when reasonably necessary.

Unless expressly guaranteed in a written agreement, we do not warrant:

The uninterrupted availability of any property or amenity;

That photographs will reflect every current furnishing or decorative item;

Specific views, noise levels, weather, traffic, neighboring activity, or construction conditions;

Compatibility with every accessibility, medical, technical, or personal requirement; or

That Website information will always be complete, current, or error-free.

You should contact us before booking if a particular feature or amenity is essential to your stay.

4. Reservations and Separate Rental Agreements

These Terms govern use of the Website. They do not replace the terms governing an individual reservation.

All reservations may be subject to additional terms, including:

A vacation-rental or short-term-rental agreement;

House rules;

Cancellation and refund policies;

Payment schedules;

Security-deposit or damage-waiver provisions;

Occupancy limits;

Minimum-age requirements;

Pet policies;

Check-in and check-out procedures;

Community, condominium, homeowners’ association, or building rules;

Local ordinances and licensing requirements; and

Terms imposed by a third-party booking platform or payment processor.

When additional booking terms conflict with these Website Terms regarding a particular reservation, the more specific reservation agreement or booking terms will control.

A reservation is not confirmed merely because you submit an inquiry, request dates, receive an automated response, or begin the payment process. A reservation is confirmed only after all required payments, agreements, identity-verification requirements, and other booking conditions have been completed and you receive written confirmation.

We reserve the right to decline or cancel a booking when permitted by the applicable rental agreement, booking platform rules, or law.

5. Third-Party Booking Platforms

Properties may be advertised or booked through third-party platforms such as Airbnb, Vrbo, http://Booking.com, Expedia, or other reservation providers.

When you use a third-party platform, your transaction may also be governed by that platform’s terms, payment policies, cancellation rules, privacy practices, and dispute procedures.

Porchlit Properties does not control and is not responsible for:

The operation or availability of third-party platforms;

Platform service fees;

Payment-processing delays;

Platform account restrictions;

Platform-generated taxes or pricing displays;

The accuracy of information independently displayed or modified by the platform; or

The platform’s collection, use, or disclosure of your information.

Nothing in these Terms modifies any rights or obligations you have under an applicable third-party platform agreement.

6. Pricing, Fees, and Taxes

Rates and availability may change at any time before a reservation is confirmed. Pricing may be adjusted dynamically based on demand, length of stay, season, local events, occupancy, booking timing, and other factors.

The total cost of a reservation may include:

Nightly charges;

Cleaning fees;

Guest-service fees;

Pet fees;

Additional-guest fees;

Taxes;

Platform fees;

Credit-card or payment-processing fees where legally permitted;

Damage-protection charges;

Security deposits; and

Other charges disclosed before booking.

You are responsible for reviewing the full price and applicable policies before completing a reservation.

If an obvious pricing, availability, or listing error occurs, we may correct the error and, where legally permitted, cancel or modify the affected transaction. If we cancel solely because of such an error, amounts paid directly to us for the affected booking will be refunded in accordance with the applicable payment and booking terms.

7. Cancellations, Refunds, and Reservation Changes

Cancellation and refund rights are determined by the cancellation policy disclosed for the applicable reservation, rental agreement, or booking platform.

Unless required by law or expressly stated in the applicable cancellation policy:

Cancellations may be nonrefundable;

Early departures do not entitle the guest to a refund;

Weather, transportation interruptions, illness, personal emergencies, event cancellations, or changes in travel plans do not automatically entitle the guest to a refund;

Failure to review the listing, location, house rules, or amenity descriptions does not automatically entitle the guest to a refund; and

Reservation modifications may result in rate changes or additional charges.

Travel insurance is strongly encouraged, particularly for reservations affected by weather, health, transportation, or other circumstances outside the parties’ control.

8. Property Owners and Prospective Clients

Submitting a property-management, rental-arbitrage, consulting, partnership, investment, or service inquiry does not obligate Porchlit Properties to accept the property or provide services.

Any projections, estimates, market analyses, occupancy assumptions, pricing recommendations, revenue examples, or performance illustrations are informational estimates only. Actual results may differ substantially because of market conditions, property condition, location, regulations, competition, seasonality, expenses, owner decisions, platform changes, weather, economic conditions, and other factors.

Porchlit Properties does not guarantee:

A particular occupancy level;

A particular nightly rate;

A specific amount of revenue or profit;

Appreciation or investment returns;

Regulatory approval;

Continued eligibility for short-term-rental use; or

Acceptance by a landlord, building, homeowners’ association, lender, insurer, municipality, or booking platform.

A management or consulting relationship begins only when an authorized representative of Porchlit Properties and the client execute a separate written agreement.

9. No Investment, Legal, Tax, or Financial Advice

Website content is not legal, tax, accounting, lending, insurance, real-estate brokerage, securities, or investment advice.

Any discussion of potential revenue, returns, costs, tax treatment, regulations, insurance, leases, property values, or business opportunities is general in nature. You should consult qualified professionals before making a financial, legal, tax, insurance, or investment decision.

Nothing on the Website constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation to purchase a security or investment interest.

10. Communications and Electronic Consent

When you submit your contact information, you authorize us to respond using the contact information you provide.

Communications may include email, telephone calls, text messages, or other electronic messages concerning:

Your inquiry;

A reservation;

Property-management services;

Guest support;

Requested estimates or consultations;

Service updates; and

Other matters reasonable to host
