Customer Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) contain a dispute resolution and arbitration provision, including class action waiver that affects all claims brought against KEY.  You may opt out of the binding individual arbitration and class action waiver as provided below.

These Terms are a legal contract between You and KEY Travel Concierge (“KEY”, “We”, “Us” or “Our”) (collectively, “Everyone”) that governs your use of KEY’s concierge services where KEY assists You with booking, or books on your behalf, vacation homes, curated experiences, and in-home services through the KEY website (the “KEY Service”).

Please read the Terms carefully before signing/accepting/acknowledging or using the KEY Service.  By using the KEY Service, you also agree to use the KEY Service, and You also agree to use the KEY website in accordance with the applicable Terms of Use.

 ARBITRATION NOTICE

Except for certain kinds of disputes described in Section 6, you agree that disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, and BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND KEY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. (See Section 6.)

Use of KEY Services

Through the KEY Services, You can view online listings of luxury vacation and temporary stay accommodations (“Accommodations”) and book Accommodations and services, excursions, activities and experiences provided by third parties (“Experiences”).

You must register an account to book Accommodations and Experiences, and to access and use many features of the KEY Services (a user that does so is a “Member”).  You must keep your account information accurate.  Please see our Website Terms of Use for more information.

If you are obtaining a quote for or booking Accommodations or Experiences for more than just yourself, all references to “You” (and derivations thereof, including without limitation “Your”) shall be read to mean you on behalf of yourself and each individual within your group for whom you are obtaining a quote for or booking Accommodations or Experiences.

You understand that KEY does not provide Accommodations or Experiences, and that KEY, through the KEY Services, acts as the coordinator and curator of the Accommodations and Experiences.  KEY is not a party to any agreements or contracts for Accommodations and Experiences.  KEY is not a landlord, property manager, real estate broker, or insurer.  Property owners, managers and/or landlords of Accommodations (“Property Managers”) and third party service providers of Experiences (“Providers”) are responsible for understanding and complying with all laws, rules, regulations and agreements with guests.

You expressly authorize KEY to make travel arrangements and arrange Accommodations and Experiences on your behalf.  Property Managers and Providers, and not KEY, will be responsible to you for the relevant provision of Accommodations and Experiences, respectively.  You acknowledge that KEY is not a co-vendor of such Accommodations and Experiences, and that You are responsible for any travel fees or costs that KEY arranges for You.

KEY exercises care in selecting the Property Managers and Providers, but You acknowledge and agree that KEY has no control over, and shall have no liability for, the Accommodations and Experiences provided by Property Managers and Providers, respectively.  You agree that in no event shall KEY accept any liability in contract, tort or otherwise, for any injury, death, damage, property damage, accident, irregularity, loss, delay or additional expense or inconvenience caused (1) directly or indirectly by the acts, omissions or default, whether negligent or otherwise, of Property Managers or Providers, (2) by force majeure or (3) by any other event which is beyond KEY’s control, including, but not limited to, a delay or cancellation of a flight that causes you to miss any portion of your trip, Accommodations or Experiences.

1. Agents 

If you are acting in the capacity of an agent for a Member, you hereby confirm and warrant to KEY and the Property Manager and/or Provider (as applicable) that you have the irrevocable authority to enter into and bind the Member to these Terms, including the right to book Accommodations or Experiences on behalf of the Member. You further warrant that the Member has read and understands (1) these Terms, (2) any relevant cancellation policies provided by Property Managers and Providers, and (3) that by authorizing you to act as their agent the Member is bound by these Terms.

2. Accommodations

2.1. Roles + Obligations

You acknowledge and agree that, as part of the KEY Service, KEY is to provide You with listings and book Accommodations for You, which includes arranging contracts between You and Property Managers. The Property Manager, and not KEY, will be responsible to You for the provision of the relevant Accommodation.  KEY is not a party to the rental agreement between You and the Property Manager.  KEY is not an owner or operator of any of the Accommodations provided as part of the KEY Services. If KEY books any Accommodation on Your behalf, You acknowledge and agree that KEY is acting only as Your agent.

In addition, you acknowledge and agree that KEY may collect and share your personal information with Property Manager as part of the booking process.  The personal information that may be collected and shared with Property Manager includes, but is not limited to, Your name, email, and phone number.

You are responsible for complying with all rules and regulations relating to the Accommodations (as required by the Property Manager and any applicable rental agreement). You also acknowledge that the price(s) reflected on the executed rental agreement may not match the invoice paid directly to KEY.

2.2. Booking 

When you book Accommodations, you agree to pay all invoices and balances for your booking including the base price and all applicable fees, charges and taxes, including, but not limited to, KEY’s coordination fees, resort fees, security deposits, cleaning fees, incidentals, taxes, and any other cost identified during checkout (collectively, “Total Price”). You acknowledge and agree that KEY may charge and collect any security deposit identified during checkout. When you receive the booking confirmation, a contract for Accommodations (sometimes called a reservation) is formed directly between you and the Property Manager.

2.3. Charges, Fees + Payments

KEY charges a coordination fee for sourcing, curating and facilitating the booking of Accommodations (“KEY Coordination Fee”), as well as for use of the KEY Service.  You acknowledge that the KEY Coordination Fee is non-refundable and varies by Item, as outlined on the pricing details page.

KEY processes payments through a third-party payments processor via the KEY website. You acknowledge that KEY is an agent facilitating any transaction between you and the Property Manager.

KEY will collect payments from you by charging the payment method associated with your KEY account, such as a credit card or bank account (“Payment Method”), for the Total Price. When you add a Payment Method, you will be asked to provide billing information including name, billing address, and financial instrument information on the KEY website and this information will be stored by a third-party payment processor.

KEY will charge your card according to the payment terms and timing outlined and agreed upon in the booking details.

2.4. Security Deposits

Security deposits can be required for Accommodations. Any disputes you may have regarding the security deposit or any amount that is withheld from the security deposit must be addressed directly with the Property Manager within 10 days of departure from the Accommodation.

You expressly authorize KEY to hold the portion of your security deposit to cover the cost of any damage to the Accommodations and its contents (other than reasonable wear and tear), which occurred during your stay up to the value of the available security deposit (after taking into account any other claims on the security deposit). If the cost of the damage to the Accommodations is greater than the value of available balance on the security deposit, you will still be liable to the Property Manager for the full cost of the damage and you agree that the balance shall be paid by you directly to the Property Manager on demand.

2.5. Cancellations & Refunds 

In general, if you cancel a reservation, the amount refunded to you is determined by the cancellation policy that applies to the reservation.  By using the KEY services, you agree to the following:

2.5.1. You are bound to any cancellation terms that you agree to for Accommodations.

2.5.2. The terms of any applicable cancellation policies are incorporated into these Terms, and You acknowledge that you have read and understand the cancellation policies that apply to the Accommodations You are booking. 

2.5.3. You acknowledge and agree that refunds are only available in accordance with applicable cancellation policy.

2.5.4. You acknowledge and agree that the KEY Coordination Fee is non-refundable. 

2.5.5. If you desire to cancel any Accommodation that You have booked, you must email us at travel@key.co and clearly state that you are cancelling your booking. The time that our server receives your email will be the time that you have notified us of the cancellation and will be the time taken to be the cancellation date and time for the purposes of applying the terms of the applicable cancellation policy.

2.5.6. Contracts for Accommodation may allow Property Managers to cancel or amend bookings and reservations at any time.  KEY will, to the best of its ability, notify you of any significant changes to your bookings and reservations when KEY has become aware of such changes.  KEY accepts no liability for any changes or costs that You incur as a result of changes to Your bookings or reservations.  Subject to the Property Manager’s terms and conditions, You may have the choice of accepting the change of arrangements, accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements if one is made available by the Property Manager, or canceling your booked arrangements and receiving any applicable refund.   

2.5.7. If You arrive for check-in with a greater number of guests or animals than agreed upon for the Accommodation and violate the rules or restrictions associated with the Accommodation, the Property Manager may be entitled to not permit you to access the Accommodation.  Violation of any rules or restrictions will be deemed a cancellation on the day of check-in and the applicable cancellation policy will apply. 

2.5.8. Neither KEY, nor any Property Manager, will be responsible for any fees, costs or expenses that You incur in connection with a cancellation (including travel costs, event tickets, moving fees etc.).  We recommend that you obtain adequate travel insurance to cover any bookings made through the KEY Service.

2.6. Disputes and Complaints

All disputes relating to Accommodations, either during check-in or the stay, are to be handled directly between You and the Property Manager. You acknowledge and agree that KEY is not a party to any of these disputes.

2.7. Accuracy of Information Responsibility 

You acknowledge and agree that You are solely responsible for reviewing Your travel documents for accuracy. In addition, You acknowledge and agree that it is Your responsibility to review and confirm the accuracy of all details in the travel quotations and documents provided to You. Furthermore, You assume full and complete responsibility for checking and verifying any and all passport, visa, vaccination, or other entry requirements of your destination(s), and all conditions regarding health, safety, security, political stability, and labor or civil unrest at such destination(s).

3. Experiences

3.1. Roles + Obligations

You acknowledge and agree that KEY’s obligation to You is to (and You expressly authorize KEY to) book Experiences on your behalf and to arrange relevant contracts between you and Providers.  Providers, and not KEY, will be responsible to you for the provision of the relevant Experiences. Any services provided by KEY are collateral to KEY’s relationship with Providers and separate to the provision of Experiences.  You acknowledge that KEY is not a co-vendor of any Experiences.

You acknowledge and agree that You are solely responsible for confirming that You and anyone you invite meet minimum age, proficiency, fitness, or other requirements required by Provider for the Experiences. You are responsible for informing KEY or the Providers of any medical or physical conditions, or other circumstances that may impact Your ability to participate, attend, or use the Experiences.

3.2. Booking

When You book Experiences, You agree to pay all invoices and balances for Your booking, including the Item price and applicable fees like KEY’s coordination fee, taxes, and any other costs identified during checkout (collectively, “Total Price”).

3.3. Charges, Fees + Payments

KEY pricing includes all vendor taxes and fees.  KEY charges a coordination fee for curating, booking and managing the Experiences (“KEY Coordination Fee”), as well as for use of the KEY Service.  You acknowledge that KEY Coordination Fee is non-refundable and varies by Item, as outlined on the pricing details page.

3.4. Payments

KEY will collect payment from you by charging the payment method associated with your KEY account, such as a credit card or bank account (“Payment Method”) for the Total Price. When you add a Payment Method, you will be asked to provide billing information such as name, billing address, and financial instrument information on the KEY website and this information will be stored by a third-party payment processor. Additional terms and conditions may apply for the use of an alternative payment option.

KEY charges the Total Price due after the Experiences requested has been confirmed with Providers. Once the payment for your requested booking is successfully completed, you will receive a receipt confirmation via email.

3.5. Cancellations & Refunds

In general, if you cancel a booking or reservation for Experiences, the amount refunded to you is determined by the cancellation policy.

3.5.1. You are bound to any cancellation terms that you agree to for the Experiences.

3.5.2. The terms of applicable cancellation policies are incorporated into these Terms, and You acknowledge that you have read and understand the cancellation policies that apply to the Experiences you are booking. 

3.5.3. You acknowledge and agree that refunds are only available in accordance with applicable cancellation policies.

3.5.4. You acknowledge and agree that the KEY Coordination Fee is non-refundable.

3.5.5. You acknowledge that each of the Experiences has its own cancellation policy.  You acknowledge that You have read and accepted these cancellation terms and acknowledge that some cancellations of Experiences may result in 100% of the charge being non-refundable. 
3.6. Accuracy of Information Responsibility

You acknowledge and agree that You are solely responsible for reviewing Your travel documents for accuracy. In addition, You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review and confirm the accuracy of all details in the travel quotations and documents provided to you.

You agree not to initiate a chargeback request or other proceeding on the payment card until (1) You have pursued a refund in accordance with the terms or policies provided by the Property Managers and Providers, as applicable; and (2) the expiration of any Arbitration proceeding requirements, in accordance with Section 6 below. You also agree not to initiate any chargeback requests with your payment card provider for any transactions that You authorize.

4.1. Fraudulent Chargebacks

In the event You initiate an unmerited or fraudulent chargeback request, You acknowledge and agree that You will pay all costs and expenses that KEY incurs in connection with such unmerited or fraudulent chargeback request, in addition to all of the Total Price that has not been paid.  We will not tolerate chargeback fraud.

4.2. Unmerited Chargebacks

An unmerited chargeback includes, but is not limited to, disputing (1) charges made pursuant to the applicable cancellation policy; (2) charges made by KEY when you have not used reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute with KEY directly.

5. General Use

We invite You to use the KEY Service to explore, inquire about, book and reserve Accommodations and Experiences (“Permitted Purposes”).

6. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

Please Read This Provision Carefully.  It Affects Your Legal Rights.

This Provision facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any dispute (e.g., claim or controversy, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort – including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence – or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below) that may arise between You and Us. Effectively, then, “dispute” is given the broadest meaning enforceable by law and includes any claims against other parties relating to Accommodations or Services provided or billed to You (such as Our licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever You also assert claims against Us in the same proceeding.

This Provision provides that all disputes between You and Us shall be resolved by binding arbitration because acceptance of these Terms constitutes a waiver of Your right to litigation claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. We prefer this because We believe arbitration is less drama-filled than litigation. To be clear, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorneys’ fees). You may, however, opt-out of this Provision which means You would have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions).

EVERYONE AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.

6.1 Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution.

For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, You must first give Us an opportunity to resolve the Dispute which is first done by emailing to Us at contact@key.co the following information:

1. (a) Your name,

2. (b) Your address,

3. (c) A written description of Your Claim, and

4. (d) A description of the specific relief You seek.

If We do not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after receiving Your notification, then You may pursue Your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue Your dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

6.2 Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out

Notwithstanding the above, Your or We may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if:

(a) The dispute qualifies for initiation in small claims court; or

(b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt-out of this Provision by emailing Us at contact@key.co the following information:

(1) Your name;

(2) Your address;

(3) A clear statement that You do not wish to resolve disputes with Us through arbitration.

Either way, We will not take any decision You make personally. In fact, We promise that Your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision will have no adverse effect on Your relationship with Us. But, We do have to enforce the Opt-Out Deadline so keep in mind that any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and You must pursue Your dispute in arbitration or small claims court.

6.3 Arbitration Procedures

If this Provision applies and the dispute is not resolved as provided above (Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution) either You or We may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Provision.

For arbitration before AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1.800.778.7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.

Because the KEY Service and these Terms concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.

Arbitration Award – The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.

Location of Arbitration – You or We may initiate arbitration in either Texas or the federal judicial district that includes Your billing address. In the event that You select the latter, We may transfer the arbitration to New York so long as We agree to pay any additional fees or costs which the arbitrator determines You incur as a result of the transfer.

Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs – So long as You place a request in writing prior to commencement of the arbitration, We will pay all arbitration fees and associated costs and expenses. But, You will still be responsible for all additional fees and costs that You incur in the arbitration which include but are not limited to attorneys’ fees or expert witnesses. In addition to any fees and costs recoverable under applicable law, if You provide notice and negotiate in good faith with Us as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that You are the prevailing party in the arbitration, You will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.

6.4 Class Action Waiver

Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both You and We specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. If You choose to pursue Your Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to You. Neither You, nor any other user of this KEY Service can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.

6.5 Jury Waiver

You understand and agree that by accepting this Provision in these Terms, You and We are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, You and We might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that You would have if You went to court (e.g., the rights to both appeal and certain types of discovery) may be more limited or may also be waived.

6.6 Severability

If any clause within this Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Provision whose remainder will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable and the dispute will be decided by a court.

6.7 Continuation

This Provision shall survive the termination of Your account with Us or Our affiliates and Your discontinued use of the KEY Service. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, We agree that if We make any change to this Provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), You may reject any such change and require Us to adhere to the language in this Provision if a dispute between Us arises.
