Terms and Conditions

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE

These Terms  and Conditions of Service (“Terms”) are a binding legal agreement between you and Wildlife Retreats, LLC (“Wildlife Retreats”) that govern the right to use the website, application, and any other offerings from Wildlife Retreats (collectively, the “Wildlife Retreats Platform”). 

The Wildlife Retreats Platform enables users (“Members”) to publish, offer, search for, and book properties for hunting and fishing activities. Members who publish and offer properties are “Owners” and Members who search for, book, and rent properties “Licensees.” Owners offer limited license for the use of their private land for hunting and fishing activities, and occasionally may offer lodging on such private land (collectively, “Property” or “Properties”). As the provider of the Wildlife Retreats Platform, Wildlife Retreats does not own, control, offer or manage any Property or Properties. Wildlife Retreats is not a party to the contracts entered into directly between Owners and Licensees, nor is Wildlife Retreats a real estate broker, rental agent, or insurer. Wildlife Retreats is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member. 

Guest Terms

1. Booking on Wildlife Retreats. 

1.1 Booking. When you book a Property, you are agreeing to pay all charges for your booking including the use/rental price, applicable fees like Wildlife Retreats’ service fee, offline fees, taxes, and any other items identified during checkout (collectively, “Total Price”). You are also agreeing that Wildlife Retreats may charge the Payment Method (as defined in the Payment Terms) used to book the Property in order to collect Damage Claim (as defined in Section 14) amounts. 

When you receive the booking confirmation, a contract to rent such Property (a "Reservation") is formed directly between you and the Owner of the Property. By making a Reservation you are agreeing to the terms of the contract with the Owner. The terms of the contract include these Terms, all terms of the Reservation, including without limitation, the cancellation policy and any other rules, standards, policies, or requirements identified in the Property listing or during checkout that apply to the Reservation. It is your responsibility to read and understand these terms of the contract with the Owner including these Terms and all terms of the Reservation including all rules, standards, policies, and requirements of the Owner prior to booking a Property. Be aware that some Owners will require you to enter into separate license or rental agreement for use of a  Property. You hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Wildlife Retreats for any breach by you or the Owner of  separate contract, license agreement, etc. that is entered into between you  and such  Owner for the use of their Property.

1.2 Reservations. A Reservation is a limited license to enter, occupy, and use the Property only as permitted by the Owner. The Owner retains the right to re-enter the Property during your stay, to the extent: (i) it is reasonably necessary, (ii) permitted by your contract with the Owner, and (iii) permitted by applicable law. If you stay past your checkout, the Owner has the right to make you leave in a manner permitted with applicable law, including by imposing reasonable overstay penalties. You may not exceed the maximum number of allowed Licensees on the Property.

1.3  Hunting and Fishing Activities. You are responsible for confirming that you, and anyone you invite, meet minimum age, proficiency, fitness, state license requirements, and all other legal requirements to participate in any hunting or fishing activities on a Property. Except where expressly authorized, you may not allow any person to join in hunting and fishing activities at a Property unless they are included as a named additional licensee during the booking process.

2. Cancellations and Modifications.

2.1 Cancellations. If you or the Owner cancel a Reservation, the amount refunded to you is determined by the Owner's cancellation policy that applies to that Reservation. Wildlife Retreats is solely a listing platform for Owners’ Properties that may be booked by Licensees by using the platform and shall not be responsible for any dispute over cancellation of a Reservation or an Owner’s cancellation policy.

2.2 Modifications. Licensees and Owners are responsible for any booking modifications they agree to make via the Wildlife Retreats Platform or direct Wildlife Retreats customer service to make on their behalf ("Booking Modifications"), and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees, or taxes associated with any Booking Modification.

3. Your Responsibilities and Assumption of Risk.

3.1 Your Responsibilities. You are responsible and liable for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you invite to join or provide access to any Property, and any and all areas and facilities where the Property is located that the Owner and Licensee are legally entitled to use in connection with the Property (“Common Areas”). For example, this means: (i) you are responsible for leaving a Property (and any personal property) or Common Areas in the condition it was in when you arrived, (ii) you are responsible for paying all reasonable Damage Claim amounts, and (iii) you must act with integrity, treat others with respect, and comply with applicable laws at all times. If you are booking for an additional licensee who is a minor or if you bring a minor to a Property, you must be legally authorized to act on behalf of the minor and you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor.

3.2 Your Assumption of Risk. You acknowledge that hunting and fishing activities carry inherent risks and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Wildlife Retreats Platform and any Content (as defined in Section 9), including your stay at any Property, participation in any hunting or fishing activities, or any other interaction you have with other Members whether in person or online. This means it is your responsibility to investigate an Owner Property to determine whether it is suitable for you. For example, hunting and fishing activities on Owner Properties may carry the risk of bodily injury, disability, or death, and you freely and willfully assume those risks by choosing to participate in such activities on the Owner Properties.


Owner Terms

4. Listing on Wildlife Retreats.

4.2 Contracting with Licensees. When you accept a booking request, or receive a booking confirmation through the Wildlife Retreats Platform, you are entering into a contract directly with the Licensee, and are responsible for delivering access and use of your Property under the terms and at the price specified in your listing or in a separate contract or license agreement. You are also agreeing to pay applicable fees such as Wildlife Retreats’ Commission or Subscription fee, as applicable (and any applicable taxes) for each booking. Wildlife Retreats will charge your Payment Method for the amount you owe from your payout unless we and you agree to a different method. Any terms or conditions that you include in any supplemental contract with Licensees must: (i) be consistent with these Terms, and the information provided in your Property listing, and (ii) be prominently disclosed in your Property description.

4.3 Independence of Owners. Your relationship with Wildlife Retreats is that of an independent individual or entity and not an employee, agent, joint venturer, or partner of Wildlife Retreats. Wildlife Retreats does not direct or control your Properties, and you understand that you have complete discretion whether and when to provide a Property, and at what price and on what terms to offer them.

5. Managing Your Property Listing.

5.1 Creating and Managing Your Listing. The Wildlife Retreats Platform provides tools that make it easy for you to set up and manage a Property. You agree that your Property listings shall include complete and accurate information about your Property, your price, other charges, offline fees, and any rules or requirements that apply to the Licensees or to your Property. You are responsible for your acts or omissions as well as keeping your Property listing information (including calendar availability) and content (like photos) up-to-date and accurate at all times. You hereby agree that you shall be responsible for obtaining appropriate insurance for your Properties and we suggest you carefully review policy terms and conditions including coverage details and exclusions. You may only maintain one listing per Property. 

5.2 Know Your Legal Obligations. You are responsible for understanding and complying with any laws, rules, regulations, and contracts with third parties that apply to your Properties. Check your local laws and rules to learn what laws and rules apply to the Property  you plan to offer. Any information we provide regarding legal requirements is for informational purposes only and you must independently confirm your obligations. You are responsible for handling and using personal data of Licensees and others in compliance with applicable privacy laws and these Terms. If you have questions about how local laws apply you should always seek legal advice.

5.3 Your Responsibilities. You are responsible and liable for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you allow to participate in providing your Property. You are responsible for setting your price and establishing rules and requirements for your Property. You must describe any and all fees and charges in your Property description and may not collect any additional fees or charges outside the Wildlife Retreats Platform. You agree you shall not encourage Licensees to create third-party accounts, submit reviews, provide their contact information, or take other actions outside the Wildlife Retreats Platform in violation of these Terms.

5.5 Listing as a Team or Organization. If you work with a co-owner or Owner as part of a team, business, or other organization, you are responsible and liable as an Owner under these Terms for the acts and omissions of each entity and individual who participates in providing your Properties and you are responsible for informing personnel engaged by you to deliver access and use of any such Property of your obligations under these Terms. If you accept terms or enter into contracts with third parties, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to enter into contracts for and bind your team, business or other organization, and that each entity you use is in good standing under the laws of the place where it is established. If you perform other functions, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to perform those functions. If you instruct Wildlife Retreats to transfer a portion of your payout to a co-owner or other Owners, or send payments to someone else, you must be authorized to do so, and are responsible and liable for the payment amounts and accuracy of any payout information you provide.

5.6 Your Assumption of Risk. You acknowledge that hosting carries inherent risks and agree that you assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Wildlife Retreats Platform, offering Properties that permit hunting or fishing activities, or any interaction you have with other Members whether in person or online. You agree that you have had the opportunity to investigate the Wildlife Retreats Platform and any laws, rules, regulations, or obligations that may be applicable to your Property or Properties and that you are not relying upon any statement of law made by Wildlife Retreats.

6. Cancellations, Reservation Issues, and Booking Modifications.

6.1 Cancellations and Reservation Issues. In general, if a Licensee cancels a Reservation, the amount paid to you is determined by the cancellation policy that applies to that Reservation. As an Owner, you should not cancel on a Licensee without a valid reason or applicable law. If you cancel on a Licensee without such a valid reason, we shall be permitted to and may impose a cancellation fee and other consequences. If: (i) a Licensee experiences a Reservation issue or a Reservation is canceled under Section 12 of these Terms, you will be charged to your Payment Method by the amount we have to refund or otherwise provide to the Licensee, and by any other reasonable costs we incur as a result of the cancellation. If a Licensee receives a refund after you have already been paid, or the amount of the refund and other costs incurred by Wildlife Retreats exceeds your payout, Wildlife Retreats may recover that amount from you, including by either charging your Payment Method for the refund amount or deducting the refund against your future payouts. You agree that these Terms preempt the cancellation policy you set in situations where they allow for the cancellation of a Reservation and/or the issuance of refunds to Licensees. 

6.2 Booking Modifications. Owners and Licensees are responsible for any Booking Modifications they agree to make via the Wildlife Retreats Platform or direct Wildlife Retreats customer service to make on their behalf, and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees or taxes associated with a Booking Modification.

7. Taxes.

7.1 Owner Taxes. As an Owner, you are responsible for determining and fulfilling your obligations under applicable laws to report, collect, remit, or include in your price any applicable indirect taxes, occupancy taxes, income, sales or other taxes ("Taxes").

7.2 Tax Information. In certain jurisdictions, Tax regulations may require that we collect and/or report Tax information about you, or withhold Taxes from payouts to you, or both. If you fail to provide us with documentation that we determine to be sufficient to support any such obligation to withhold Taxes from payouts to you, we may withhold payouts up to the amount as required by law, until sufficient documentation is provided. You agree that Wildlife Retreats may issue on your behalf invoices or similar documentation to facilitate accurate tax reporting.

8. Reviews.

Licensees and Owners will have an opportunity to review each other. Your Review must be accurate and may not contain any discriminatory, offensive, defamatory, or other language that violates these Terms, or applicable law. Reviews are not verified by Wildlife Retreats for accuracy and may be incorrect or misleading.

9. Content.

Parts of the Wildlife Retreats Platform enable you to provide feedback, text, photos, audio, video, information, and other content (“Content”). By providing Content, in whatever form and through whatever means, you grant Wildlife Retreats a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, sub-licensable and transferable license to access, use, store, copy, modify, prepare derivative works of, distribute, publish, transmit, stream, broadcast, and otherwise exploit, in any manner such that Content to provide and/or promote the Wildlife Retreats Platform, in any media or platform, known or unknown to date and in particular on Internet and social networks. If Content includes personal information, such Content will only be used for these purposes if such use complies with applicable data protection laws. Where Wildlife Retreats pays for the creation of Content or facilitates its creation, Wildlife Retreats may own that Content, in which case supplemental terms or disclosures will say that. You are solely responsible for all Content that you provide and warrant that you either own it or are authorized to grant Wildlife Retreats the rights described in these Terms. You are responsible and liable if any of your Content violates or infringes the intellectual property or privacy rights of any third party. Wildlife Retreats  prohibits Content that it considers a violation of these Terms, which includes among other things, any content that is discriminatory, obscene, harassing, deceptive, violent, or illegal, and Wildlife Retreats shall the right to remove any such Content from its Platform when discovered or reported.

10. Fees.

The fees payable by Owners for listing the Properties on the Wildlife Retreats Platform are set forth in the Listing Agreement for Property Owners. Additionally, Wildlife Retreats may charge a service fee (and applicable Taxes) to Licensees for the right to use the Wildlife Retreats Platform. Any applicable fees shall be disclosed to Licensees before making a Booking. Except as otherwise provided on the Wildlife Retreats Platform, service fees are non-refundable. Wildlife Retreats reserves the right to change the service fees at any time, and will provide Members notice of any fee changes before they become effective.

We offer you the right to use a platform that enables Members to publish, offer, search for, and book Owner Properties for Licensee to be provided a limited license from an Owner to hunt and or fish on a Property.

18. Limitations on Liability.

Neither Wildlife Retreats (including its affiliates, employees and personnel) nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Wildlife Retreats Platform or any Content will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute products or services, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury (including death) or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with (i) these Terms, (ii) the use of or inability to use the Wildlife Retreats Platform or any Content, (iii) any communications, interactions or meetings you may have with someone you interact or meet with through, or as a result of, your use of the Wildlife Retreats Platform, or (iv) publishing or booking of a Property, whether such claims are based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not Wildlife Retreats has been informed of the possibility of such damage claim, even if a limited remedy set out in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

In no event will Wildlife Retreats’ aggregate liability for any claim or dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms, your interaction with any Members, or your use of or inability to use the Wildlife Retreats Platform, any Content, or any Property, exceed: (A) to Licensees, the amount you paid as a Licensee during the 12-month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability, (B) to Owners, the amount paid to you as an Owner in the 12-month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability, or (C) to anyone else, one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).

These limitations of liability and damages are fundamental elements of the agreement between you and Wildlife Retreats. 

19. Indemnification.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to release, defend (at Wildlife Retreats’ option), indemnify, and hold Wildlife Retreats, its members and employees (including other affiliates, and their personnel) harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (i) your breach of these Terms (including any supplemental or additional terms that apply to a product or feature), (ii) your improper use of the Wildlife Retreats Platform, (iii) your interaction with any Member, or  your use of a Property, including without limitation any injuries (including death), losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction, stay, participation or use, (iv) your failure, or our failure at your direction, to accurately report, collect or remit Taxes, or (v) your breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights such as intellectual property or privacy rights, or any other federal, state or local laws, ordinances, rules or regulations.

These Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia and the United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions) that are excluded from the arbitration agreement in Section 21 must be brought in state court in Banks County, Georgia, unless we both agree to some other location. Members and Wildlife Retreats both consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in Bank County, Georgia.

If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to a Dispute, you and Wildlife Retreats agree that an arbitrator will decide that issue.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises, agreements and undertakings set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties, Company and Outfitter agree as set forth below:

AGREEMENT

1.  Services.  In exchange for all applicable fees and commissions, and subject to Outfitter’s compliance with this Listing Agreement and all incorporated terms and conditions, Company will:  (a) provide Outfitter with access to the Company online platform either directly or by an integrated communications pathway through which Outfitter can post, advertise, manage, book, and accept payments associated with their Outfitter Services (the “Outfitter Service Listing”); and (b) enable publication and distribution of the Outfitter Service Listing via the Wildlife Retreats Platform (the “Services”).

Outfitter will compensate the Company for the Services in accordance with an annual subscription based model applicable to Outfitter’s Outfitter Service Listing, as set forth herein below, and in accordance with any and all applicable statements or confirmations issued by the Company to Outfitter with respect to such Outfitter Service Listing.

2.  Compensation.  

(a) For each individual Outfitter Service Listing, Outfitter will elect one of two compensation models:

i. Commission model (“Commission”), under which Company provides Services associated with each of Outfitter’s designated Commission listing on a commission basis, and Outfitter pays a commission to Company each time an Outfitter Service Listing is booked; which commission is calculated as a percentage of the pre-tax total amount Outfitter charges the customer for their Outfitters Services;

ii. Annual subscription (“Subscription”), under which Company provides Services associated with each of Outfitter’s designated Subscription listings on an annual-subscription basis, and Outfitter pays an annual fee to Company on or before the commencement date of the annual term for each Outfitter Service Listing for Outfitter Services.  Outfitter also may be subject to certain Off-Platform Booking fees for Subscription Outfitter Service Listings, as detailed in section 8.

(b) Outfitter will not be limited to a single compensation model for all Outfitter Service Listings, and may elect Commission for certain Outfitter Service Listings and Subscription for others. Likewise, Outfitter may convert Outfitter Service Listings from Subscription to Commission at the end of any current annual-subscription period, and may convert Commission to Subscription Outfitter Service Listings by purchasing an annual subscription for their Outfitter Service Listings at any time.

 

3.   Intellectual Property.  Company exclusively owns and will retain all rights in and to its intellectual property, including its trademarks, the Wildlife Retreats Platform and associated data, and Company will be the sole and exclusive owner of any and all new intellectual property that results from any related development work.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended to convey any such rights to Outfitter, except for those limited rights and licenses necessary to carry out the express purpose and intent of this Agreement, and unless otherwise revoked by Company, all such rights will automatically terminate upon the first of the following to occur: (i) termination of this Agreement or (ii) upon removal from or expiration of Outfitter’s Outfitter Service Listing on the Wildlife Retreats Platform. 

5.  Reviews.  Individuals and Outfitter reviews will be subject to all Company policies in effect at the time of submission, and will be posted within the Wildlife Retreats Platform in accordance with such policies. 

6.  Outfitter Service Listing Content.  The Company wishes to feature on the Wildlife Retreats Platform only high-quality content that is optimized for purposes of search functionality and users’ experience.  Outfitter is solely responsible for the content of its Outfitter Service Listings, including ongoing reviews of and updates to such Outfitter Service Listings as necessary to maintain compliance with this Agreement.  Outfitter represents, warrants, and covenants that all content describing and comprising each Outfitter Service Listing is and will remain current and accurate at all times, and that each Outfitter Service Listing is unique and has not been and will not be duplicated within the Wildlife Retreats Platform.  Outfitter understands and acknowledges that Company has the right, but not the obligation, to reformat or otherwise modify Outfitter Service Listing content to improve the viewing experience or to optimize functionality or performance for users of the Wildlife Retreats Platform.  Should the Company make any such modification, it will do so using and relying on information provided or confirmed by Outfitter with respect to the affected Outfitter Service Listing, and Outfitter will remain solely responsible for such content.  Outfitter will promptly notify Company if any Outfitter Service Listing content is inaccurate or potentially misleading, or would otherwise violate any provision of this Agreement.

7.  Outfitter Service Listing Appearance in Search Results; Sort Order.  The appearance of Outfitter Service Listings in search results is dynamic and will vary in response to a number of factors, the first of which comprises the particular combination of search parameters entered by each user using the Wildlife Retreats Platform.  Those parameters may include such things as location, type and nature of services provided by Outfitter, and price. 

8.  Booking Attribution; Commission and Subscription Fees.

(a)  All bookings completed on or originating from the Wildlife Retreats Platform will be deemed attributable to Company and subject to  a commission or  booking fee, as applicable.  A booking will be regarded as having originated from the Wildlife Retreats Platform where Outfitter receives through the Wildlife Retreats Platform an inquiry, booking request, or other contact from a user about an Outfitter Service Listing (each, a “Company Lead”), and then, as a result of and within 30 days of the Company Lead, Outfitter completes a booking for that Outfitter Service Listing directly with the user, e.g., by telephone or e-mail (each, an “Off-Platform Booking”).

(b) For Commission Listings, Company will be entitled to a commission on every booking made on the Wildlife Retreats Platform as well as on every Off-Platform Booking.  For Subscription Listings, Company will be entitled to a fee for every Off-Platform Booking, except that no such fees will apply to Subscription Listings where the user completes such a booking through the Wildlife Retreats Platform.

(d) Commissions and Off-Platform Booking fees will generally equate to a percentage of the total amount, before taxes, that Outfitter charges for the associated service.  If Outfitter uses payment-processing services on the Wildlife Retreats Platform, then the applicable processing-fees also will be included in the total booking amount on which those commissions and fees are calculated.  All applicable percentage rates for commissions and Off-Platform Booking fees will be set forth in the applicable statement or confirmation issued by Company to Outfitter with respect to an Outfitter Service Listing; and such rates may change upon reasonable notice to Outfitter.

(e)  It is the sole responsibility of Outfitter to ensure proper reporting of all Off-Platform Bookings to Company. However, such reporting is subject to review and audit, and if the Company finds that a certain booking of a service with the Outfitter originated on the Wildlife Retreats Platform but was not properly reported as attributable to a Company Lead under the above analysis, then the Company will notify Outfitter of such discrepancy, and will be entitled to assess a commission or Off-Platform Booking fee on the amount charged for such Outfitter Service unless Outfitter provides reasonable evidence to the contrary.

9.  Payments.  Outfitter shall promptly provide a credit or debit card or banking information as requested by Company to authorize payment of all commissions and fees due and owing for the Services.  Outfitter authorizes the Company to charge Outfitter’s designated payment method, in local currency specified by Company, for all amounts owing under this Agreement as each payment becomes due, including all recurring Off-Platform Booking fees or commissions, and all annual subscription renewals, as applicable. Company has the right to immediately remove or suspend Outfitter’s Listings for failure to pay amounts owing on any due date.  Removal or suspension of Outfitter Service Listings attributable to late or missing payments will not relieve Outfitter of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

10. Data Security; Trade Compliance. Outfitter acknowledges that, in connection with this Agreement, it may receive or have access to personal data of users of the Wildlife Retreats Platform, directly from users, or otherwise; and that such data may include credit or debit card information along with other highly sensitive information connected to or identifying individuals (“Personal Information”).  Outfitter agrees that it shall maintain all Personal Information in the strictest confidence and in full compliance with all applicable rules, regulations, standards, and guidelines set forth by Visa, Master Card, American Express, and all other payment-card brands and the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council; as well as all applicable laws, regulations, and directives relating to privacy, security, data protection, and the safeguarding, disclosure, and handling of such information.  To that end, Outfitter will ensure implementation and maintenance of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards that are no less stringent than those accepted as standard industry practices.

11.  Audit Rights. Company may conduct an audit from time to time as it reasonably deems necessary to assess Outfitter’s performance and fulfillment of its obligations under this Agreement.  Outfitter will cooperate with the Company with respect to any such audit, and will provide the Company with access to books and records of accounts and other information associated with the Outfitter Service Listings as Company may reasonably request for the purpose of verifying proper reporting and payment of commissions and fees.  Any such audits will be conducted during normal business hours with reasonable advance notice to Outfitter. Company will bear the costs and expenses of the audit unless the audit results in a deviation of amounts owed to the Company that is greater than five percent for any one month period, in which case Outfitter shall bear the reasonable costs and expenses of the audit and promptly pay all additional amounts owing to the Company, plus a reasonable rate of interest.

12.  Representations, Warranties, and Covenants.  Outfitter represents, warrants, and covenants as follows:

(a)  Outfitter either owns or is an authorized agent and representative of the Outfitter and holds all necessary rights, authority, license, etc. to advertise their Outfitter Services on the Wildlife Retreats Platform and to use all data and information comprising or relating to the Outfitter Service Listing content, including photographs, descriptions, brand names, trademarks, and other content and identifying information provided to Company published on the Wildlife Retreats Platform.  Outfitter has all necessary rights and authorizations to offer and accept bookings for the Outfitter Service Listings, and to enter into contracts with users for the bookings and for the provision of all associated services and amenities described in each Outfitter Service Listing;

(g) Outfitter will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company from and against any and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising or related to any loss, liability, judgment, claim, investigation, lawsuit or other proceeding, that Company or any of its agents or representatives may incur that relate to or arise out of: (i) any breach of this Agreement; (ii) any phishing, fraud, or other unauthorized booking or activity related to an Outfitter Service Listing; (iii) any guarantee relating to an Outfitter Service Listing on account of an act or omission by Outfitter of the subject Outfitter Service Listing; (iv) the operation of Outfitter’s business; and (v) any claim of intellectual-property infringement relating to any Outfitter information transmitted to Company, or any Outfitter Service Listing.
