Last Updated, August 1, 2025

Welcome to tree8properties. We own and operate the property platform tree8properties.com. The Platform consists of our website, and any related services, tools, features, or content we provide (collectively, the “Services”).

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding contract between you and Tree8properties that governs your entire relationship with the Platform.

The Platform is an online marketplace designed to connect property owners, managers, landlords, and sellers (“Hosts,” “Landlords,” or “Sellers” as applicable) who wish to offer short-term residential rentals, long-term leases, or properties for sale (“Listings”) located within the United States with travellers (“Guests”), prospective tenants (“Tenants”), or buyers (“Buyers”) seeking temporary accommodations, long-term housing, or property ownership.

We act solely as a neutral intermediary that facilitates discovery, inquiries, bookings, lease agreements, sales transactions, messaging, payments, and reviews. We are not a real-estate broker, property manager, escrow agent, hotel operator, or party to any rental agreement, lease, or purchase contract. Every transaction (short-term booking, lease agreement, or sale) creates a direct, separate legal contract solely between the listing party (Host, Landlord, or Seller) and the user (Guest, Tenant, or Buyer). Hosts, Landlords, and Sellers are independent third-party providers and are not our employees, agents, or partners.

By accessing or using the Platform in any way—whether as a Guest, Tenant, or Buyer (including users located anywhere outside the United States), as a Host, Landlord, or Seller, as a visitor browsing Listings, or by creating an account—you expressly acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety, as well as our Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, Cancellation Policy (for rentals), and any other policies we publish and incorporate by reference. If you do not agree to any part of these Terms, you must immediately cease all use of the Platform and delete your account.

We may update or modify these Terms at any time in our sole discretion. We will notify you of material changes by

 (i) posting the revised Terms on the Platform with a new “Last Updated” date at the top of this document and,

(ii) where required by applicable law, by sending an email or in-app notification. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any revised Terms constitutes your irrevocable acceptance of the changes. It is your responsibility to check this page periodically for updates.

1. The Platform and Our Role

The Platform enables Hosts and Landlords to create and publish Listings for short-term rentals or long-term leases, and Sellers to create and publish Listings for properties for sale. Guests, Tenants, and Buyers can search, compare, inquire about, book, lease, or purchase those Listings. We provide technology, payment processing facilitation, messaging tools, and customer support, but we do not own, manage, inspect, value, appraise, or control any Listings, properties, or the conduct of Hosts, Landlords, Sellers, Guests, Tenants, or Buyers. We do not guarantee the quality, safety, legality, accuracy of descriptions, market value, or availability of any Listing, nor do we endorse any Host, Landlord, Seller, Guest, Tenant, or Buyer. For property sales, we do not act as an escrow agent or handle title transfers; those are handled directly between the Seller and Buyer or through licensed third-party professionals.

2. Eligibility and Account Registration

• You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence, if higher) and fully competent to enter into binding contracts.
• You may register only one account per individual or legal entity. Corporate or organizational accounts must be registered under the organization’s legal name.
• All information you provide during registration, verification, or at any other time must be true, accurate, current, and complete. You agree to update your information promptly if it changes.
• During registration or at any time thereafter, we may require identity verification, background checks, or additional documentation (including government-issued photo ID, passport, proof of funds, or real-estate licensing status where applicable for Sellers).
• You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Keep your login credentials confidential and notify us immediately of any suspected unauthorized use.

We reserve the absolute right to refuse registration, suspend, or permanently terminate any account at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including suspected fraud, violation of these Terms, violation of law, or to protect the safety and integrity of the Platform and its users

3. Listing Responsibilities (Hosts, Landlords, and Sellers)

If you create any Listing on the Platform (short-term rental, long-term lease, or property for sale), you represent and warrant that:

• You are the legal owner or have the full legal authority and all necessary licenses, permits, consents, and approvals to offer the property (including local short-term rental registrations, zoning compliance, homeowners’ association approval, transient-occupancy tax permits for rentals, and any real-estate licensing or disclosure requirements for sales).
• Every Listing you create must be accurate, complete, truthful, and up-to-date in every respect, including photographs, descriptions, amenities, pricing, availability calendar (for rentals/leases), square footage, condition, title status (for sales), house rules, and any restrictions, hazards, liens, or defects.
• You are solely responsible for the physical condition, safety, cleanliness, legal compliance, and (for sales) accurate disclosure of the property at all times.
• You must maintain adequate property insurance, liability insurance, and any other coverage required by law or prudent business practice. We do not provide, underwrite, or endorse any insurance.
• For short-term rentals and long-term leases, you agree to honor every confirmed booking or lease agreement exactly as described in the Listing and to respond promptly to inquiries and special requests.
• For property sales, you agree to negotiate in good faith, provide all required disclosures under U.S. real-estate law, and cooperate with the Buyer’s due diligence (inspections, appraisals, title searches).
• You are responsible for complying with all applicable tax laws, including the collection, reporting, and remittance of occupancy taxes, sales taxes, income taxes, capital-gains taxes, or any other taxes arising from transactions facilitated through the Platform.

4. User Responsibilities (Guests, Tenants, and Buyers)

If you interact with any Listing as a Guest, Tenant, or Buyer, you represent and warrant that:

• All information you provide during inquiry, booking, leasing, or purchase processes is accurate and complete.
• You will comply with the Listing’s rules, all applicable local, state, and federal laws, and any community or building regulations during any stay, lease term, or purchase process.
• For rentals or leases, you will treat the property with reasonable care, leave it in the same clean condition as you found it (normal wear and tear excepted), and report any pre-existing damage immediately upon occupancy.
• You and all members of your party are responsible for any damage, theft, excessive cleaning costs, or other charges imposed by the Host or Landlord.
• For property purchases, you will act in good faith during due diligence, provide proof of funds or financing as requested, and complete the transaction in accordance with the purchase agreement and applicable real-estate laws.
• You will not exceed any occupancy limits specified in the Listing and will not host unauthorized parties, events, or gatherings unless explicitly permitted.

5. Transactions, Payments, and Cancellations/Withdrawals

• A short-term booking, lease agreement, or sales offer is not confirmed until the Host/Landlord/Seller accepts it and you receive a confirmation.
• All prices, service fees, taxes, cleaning fees, security deposits (for leases), or any additional charges are clearly displayed before you proceed. By confirming a transaction, you authorize us (or our payment processor) to charge the total amount (or deposit) to your selected payment method.
• We facilitate payments using third-party processors and (for sales) may integrate with licensed escrow or title services where available. We do not store complete payment card information.
• Hosts and Landlords set their own cancellation or early-termination policies for rentals and leases, which are displayed at the time of booking/lease. Refunds (if any) are processed according to the applicable policy.
• For property sales, any offer withdrawal, earnest-money deposits, or contingencies are governed by the purchase agreement between Seller and Buyer; we are not responsible for disputes over deposits or closing.
• You are responsible for paying all applicable taxes, including occupancy taxes, sales taxes, VAT/GST (for international users), transfer taxes, or capital-gains taxes. Hosts, Landlords, and Sellers are responsible for reporting and paying taxes on income or proceeds received through the Platform.

6. Reviews and Ratings

Following completion of a stay, lease term, or sale closing (where applicable), both parties may submit honest, factual, and respectful reviews and ratings. We may filter, moderate, or remove any review that violates our Community Guidelines. You grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, display, modify, and distribute your reviews and ratings for any purpose related to the operation and promotion of the Platform.

7. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to engage in any of the following (the list is illustrative, not exhaustive):

• Using the Platform for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any local, state, federal, or international law or regulation (including unlicensed real-estate brokerage or unfair housing practices).
