The Site lets you learn about the Company’s service (“Service”). (Where relevant, these Terms apply to your use of both the Site and Service.)

The paid Service lets property management companies, homeowners’ associations, and municipalities monitor short-term rentals (e.g., Airbnb’s) at properties they own/manage/have jurisdiction over. The Service takes information from its users (property addresses, images, etc.) and monitors short-term rental sites to attempt to match property information to those listings.

The Site allows you to register for the Service. As discussed in our Privacy Policy, when you register for the Service you'll be asked to provide certain information, such as your name, phone number, city/state, company/entity name, job title, and email.

You will also be asked to create a password.

Also, please note that the Site and Service under constant development. New features may be added frequently, so it’s important to check back to this page for updates. The Company reserves the right to make changes to the Service but shall not delete material services.

If the Company does change its fees, the Company will provide notice of the change on the Site or in email to you, at Company’s option, at least fourteen (14) days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the fee change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. Your subscription will automatically renew for another term of the same length of time as your current term, unless you terminate at least thirty (30) days before the end of the current term.
