ShoreSummerRentals.com is not responsible for any rental transaction.
We stress how important it is that ALL users be responsible about their use of this site and any transaction entered into as a result of either listing a property or renting a property. We do not own or manage, nor can we contract for, any vacation rental property listed on the site. Instead, the site acts as an advertising tool to allow homeowners who advertise on our site to offer their property for rent just as a newspaper classified would act. We are not involved in any transaction between travelers and members. As a result, any part of an actual or potential transaction between a traveler and a member, including the quality, safety or legality of the properties advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings (including the content thereof or any property or guest book review), the ability of members to rent a vacation property or the ability of travelers to pay for vacation rental properties are solely the responsibility of each user.
We are also not responsible for the condition of the vacation rental properties listed on our site or the compliance with laws, rules or regulations that may be applicable to any vacation rental property in any jurisdiction.
Subscription Term / Listing Termination / Cancellation by Owner / Sale of Property / Refunds
Subscription Term: All subscription listings are sold to run the full term that is chosen by the member. We are not able to issue refund or prorate if you sell your home, decide you no longer want to rent your home etc. The term starts on the date that the member submits the full or initial (as applicable) payment and expires on the last date of the term chosen by the member.
Refund requests for rental listings not completed: In the event you purchase a subscription for a listing but do not complete the creation of the listing or the listing does not get posted after purchase for any other reason, refund requests will be considered only during the first three (3) months following the purchase date. If within such three (3) month period you do not complete the creation of your listing as we may require to display such listing on the site (i) you shall not be entitled to any refund and (ii) your subscription will expire no more than 15 months from the purchase date of the subscription regardless of the listing posting date.
If you renew your subscription, your listing will remain online for the entire subscription period without refund. If you sell your property and no longer wish for the listing to remain online, please contact us and we can remove the listing; however, no refund will be owed.
Property Ownership Verification
Please note that we validate property ownership. To expedite the process, please scan or fax proof of ownership to 609-939-3131. Proof of ownership could be a utility bill, tax bill, settlement sheet from closing, etc. The property address needs to be on the item.
PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIST A VACATION RENTAL IF YOU CANNOT VALIDATE OWNERSHIP.
Transfer of Vacation Rental
To make it an easy transition for our new property owners to advertise a home that they recently purchased from an owner on our website, Shore Summer Rentals.com allows the new owners to transfer the property listing advertisement (with the current photos, descriptions, rates etc.) into their name with the written permission of the original property listing owner. The new owner will need to contact us a transfer request providing the property address. ShoreSummerRentals.com will contact the original owner for permission. Once permission is granted, we will ask the new owner to register on our site and contact us to let us know this has been done. We will then transfer the property listing into the new property owner's name (account). Lastly, we will provide them with instructions on reactivating and renewing the property listing (choosing any level membership) from their new account for one year from the date of payment. There are no refunds or prorations to the original owner for the sale of any advertised property. See "Sale of Property" clause above.
