Host Guarantee Terms and Conditions

Night and Day HOST GUARANTEE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Night and Day (hereafter referred to as “Night and Day”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) provides an online platform that connects hosts (hereafter referred to as “Host”, “you”, or “your”) who create listings for accommodations that are made available for booking by Guests (defined below) seeking to book such accommodations (collectively, the “Services”), which Services are accessible and any other platform through which Night and Day makes the Services available (collectively, the “Site”) and via applications for mobile devices (collectively, the “Application”).  Night and Day refers to Night and Day Inc. if you reside in the USA, and to Night and Day Ireland if you reside outside of the USA. For purposes of these Host Guarantee Terms and Conditions, “Night and Day”, “we”, “us” or “our” shall also include, as applicable, Night and Day’s insurer under the Night and Day Insurance Policy or Night and Day’s insurance adjuster.

Whether, as a Host (defined further below) you have posted a single Listing (defined below) on one Night and Day website or several Listings on multiple Night and Day websites, you may benefit from the Night and Day Host Guarantee program (the “Night and Day Host Guarantee”), the terms, limitations and conditions for which are set forth below (the “Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms”). Please read these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms carefully.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, BY POSTING A LISTING OR OTHERWISE USING THE SITE, APPLICATION OR SERVICES AS A HOST, YOU ARE INDICATING THAT YOU HAVE READ, AND THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY, THESE Night and Day HOST GUARANTEE TERMS. If you accept or agree to these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms and, in such event, “you” and “your” will refer and apply to that company or other legal entity.

YOU MUST COMPLY WITH ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS IN THE Night and Day HOST GUARANTEE IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE ANY PAYMENTS FOR COVERED LOSSES (DEFINED BELOW). YOUR FAILURE TO FULLY COMPLY WILL PREVENT YOUR RECOVERY FOR ANY COVERED LOSSES.

PLEASE CAREFULLY REVIEW THE DEFINITIONS OF “COVERED ACCOMMODATION,” “COVERED LOSSES,” “COVERED PROPERTY” AND “EXCLUDED PROPERTY” BELOW SO THAT YOU MAY IDENTIFY AND PROTECT PROPERTY NOT COVERED BY THE Night and Day HOST GUARANTEE.

You acknowledge and agree to use your best efforts to communicate with the Responsible Guest (defined below) as soon as possible after you discover any physical loss or damage to your Covered Property.  You must notify the Responsible Guest about your complaint and attempt to resolve the loss or damage with the Responsible Guest.  If you and the Responsible Guest are unable to come to a resolution within seven (7) days after first contacting the Responsible Guest, you should complete and file an Night and Day Host Guarantee Payment Request Form with Night and Day as further described in Section V below.

You acknowledge and agree that any amount of Covered Losses payable to you under the Night and Day Host Guarantee will be reduced by the amounts you have already collected for the same Covered Losses from a source other than the Night and Day Host Guarantee, including without limitation: (i) amounts received under an insurance policy, guarantee or indemnity; (ii) a security deposit; or (iii) payment directly by the Responsible Guest or an Invitee (defined below), or other party or an insurer or guarantor of such party.

Except as permitted by law, these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms do not affect your statutory rights.  If you would like a written copy of the Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms, please contact Night and Day at .

IV. Conditions to the Night and Day Host Guarantee

IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE TO OBTAIN PAYMENT UNDER THESE Night and Day HOST GUARANTEE TERMS, YOU MUST FULLY COMPLY WITH EACH OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS. YOUR FAILURE TO FULLY COMPLY WILL PREVENT YOUR RECOVERY OF ANY COVERED LOSSES. IN ALL CASES, THE ONUS WILL BE UPON YOU TO DEMONSTRATE THAT YOU HAVE COMPLIED WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS.

You must have incurred Covered Losses.

The Covered Losses for which you seek payment must be covered under the Night and Day Insurance Policy and payment to Night and Day under such Night and Day Insurance Policy, and Night and Day in its sole discretion may make its payment of benefits under this Night and Day Host Guarantee contingent upon the determination that any Covered Losses are covered under the Night and Day Insurance Policy.

You must have used reasonable efforts in connection with the stay of the Responsible Guest at such Covered Accommodation to comply with Night and Day’s safety guidelines as described at .

You must inspect the applicable Covered Accommodation to determine whether there are any physical losses or damages to any Covered Property and complete and file an Night and Day Host Guarantee Payment Request Form with Night and Day within the earlier of (i) fourteen (14) days following the date of termination of the Responsible Guest’s booking of the applicable Covered Accommodation or (ii) the date by which the next subsequent booking of the same Covered Accommodation begins.

For all Covered Property which is damaged or destroyed due to a violation of law or criminal act or misdemeanor and for which you are filing an Night and Day Host Guarantee Payment Request Form, you must file a police report listing such Covered Property and provide Night and Day with a copy of such report, certified by you as true and correct.

You must provide Night and Day with proof of ownership of, or legal responsibility for, the Covered Property in the form of receipts, photographs, videos, documents or other customary forms of proof (including, but not limited to, appraisal or valuation forms or notices addressed to you) certified by you as true and correct and reasonably acceptable to Night and Day.

You must deliver a signed and sworn proof of loss to us within sixty (60) days after you have incurred the Covered Loss, unless we provide a written extension of such deadline. The proof of loss must state your knowledge and belief as to the following:



  •     The time, cause and origin of the Covered Loss, and evidence and proof such loss in the form of receipts, photographs, videos, documents and other verifiable forms of proof.
  •     The ownership, leasehold or other interest of you and all other parties in the Covered Property for which Covered Loss is claimed.
  •     The Actual Cash Value and replacement value of each item of the Covered Property, as well as the current appraised value in the case of Fine Arts articles, that is the subject of the Covered Loss and the amount of such loss or damage to each item of such Covered Property.
  •     All liens, encumbrances, mortgages, guarantees and all other contracts of insurance, whether valid or not, covering the Covered Property that is the subject of the Covered Loss.
  •     Any changes in the title, use, occupation, location, possession, or exposures of the Covered Accommodation since the date of the Listing.
  •     The identity of and other information known about the Responsible Guest, any Invitee and any other party present at or using the Covered Accommodation where the Covered Property is located for which the Covered Loss is claimed on the date of the Covered Loss, and the purpose for which such Covered Accommodation was being used by such parties on such date and whether or not it then stood on leased ground.
  •     The date when you contacted the Responsible Guest to request payment for the loss you are claiming, and the date on which the Responsible Guest declined or failed to pay for the loss.

As part of the signed and sworn proof of loss described above, you must provide Night and Day with all information reasonably requested by Night and Day to enable Night and Day’s insurer to determine the Actual Cash Value with respect to Covered Property, including: the original purchase price of such Covered Property, the date such Covered Property was acquired, the condition of such Covered Property and the estimated cost of repair or replacement of such Covered Property.

You must (i) protect and preserve damaged Covered Property from further loss or damages and (ii) promptly separate the damaged and undamaged Covered Property, put it in the best possible order, and furnish a complete inventory of the lost, destroyed, damaged and undamaged property showing in detail the quantities, costs, Actual Cash Value, and amount of loss claimed.

You must, as often as may be reasonably required, at such reasonable times and places that may be designated by Night and Day’s insurer or its respective designees, (i) exhibit all that remains of any damaged Covered Property and sign the written records of examination; (ii) produce for examination all books of accounts, business records, bills, invoices, and vouchers (either originals or certified copies if originals are lost) and (iii) permit extracts and machine copies to be made of the above.

You must permit Night and Day’s insurer or its designee(s) to make inspections of Covered Property at all reasonable times. However, the right to make inspections, the making of inspections, and any analysis, advice, or inspection report will not constitute an undertaking by Night and Day’s insurer to determine or warrant that damaged Covered Property is safe or healthful. We will have no liability to you or any other person because of any inspection or failure to inspect.

You must cooperate with Night and Day, including signing any documents, and timely responding to any reasonable requests by Night and Day for additional information or documentation that Night and Day or its insurer may require or request to process the applicable Night and Day Host Guarantee Payment Request Form.

With respect to Covered Property subject to a loan, mortgage or other security interest, you must notify your lender/mortgagee in writing of any loss that exceeds fifty thousand US dollars (US $50,000), and provide Night and Day with a copy of such notice. If the lender/mortgagee notifies you that the lender/mortgagee seeks insurance and/or reimbursement proceeds for the loss, you must notify Night and Day in writing of the lender/mortgagee’s request and transmit a written copy of said request to Night and Day, and provide all other information to enable Night and Day to communicate directly with the lender. If such loss is determined to be a Covered Loss, we will pay the loss benefit(s) to the lender up to the value of the mortgage (subject to the exclusions, limitations and conditions herein), and we will not pay you unless and until your monetary obligation to the lender/mortgagee has been satisfied. This condition shall apply to the extent of applicable law in your jurisdiction.

You will have full rights to the possession and control of damaged Covered Property if proper testing is done to show which property is physically damaged.  You, using reasonable judgment, will decide if the physically damaged Covered Property can be reprocessed or sold.  If you determine that the Covered Property is unfit for reprocessing or sale, the property will not be sold or disposed of except by you or with your consent.  Proceeds from the sale or other disposition of such Covered Property will go to (i) Night and Day’s insurer at the time of the Covered Loss settlement, or (ii) you if such sale or disposition proceeds are received prior to Covered Loss settlement and such proceeds will reduce the amount of the Covered Loss payable to you.

V. Disposition of Host Payment Requests

Night and Day Host Guarantee Payment Request Form

Night and Day will complete its processing of any Night and Day Host Guarantee Payment Request Form that you file within a reasonable period following the date you have (a) completed and filed an Night and Day Host Guarantee Payment Request Form, and (b) provided Night and Day with all information and materials that you are required to provide to comply with the conditions set forth in “Conditions to the Night and Day Host Guarantee” above.  In any event, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete processing of your Night and Day Host Guarantee Payment Request Form within three (3) months after our receipt of such documents and information.  If you receive an Approved Payment Request (as defined below), then as a condition to payment to you under the Night and Day Host Guarantee, you will be required to execute and deliver to Night and Day the “Night and Day Host Guarantee Approved Payment Request Agreement”, which includes your agreement:

  1.     to assign to Night and Day or its insurer any rights and remedies you may have to recover amounts paid to you with respect to an Approved Payment Request (defined below) from the Responsible Guest or from an Invitee or from any other party that is financially responsible for the Approved Payment Request;
  2.     to reasonably cooperate with us, including, at our request, appearing as a witness in any court, arbitration or like proceeding, if we seek to recover the amount paid to you with respect to an Approved Payment Request from the Responsible Guest or from an Invitee or from any other party;
  3.     to release and hold harmless Night and Day and its insurer and all officers, directors, employees, contractors and agents of Night and Day from any further liability or obligations with respect to the facts and circumstances of the matters and incident set forth in the Night and Day Host Guarantee Payment Request Form;
  4.     to treat as “confidential information” the contents and existence of such Night and Day Host Guarantee Payment Request Form and Approved Payment Request Payment Agreement; and
  5.     to refund to us any amounts that are erroneously paid to you with respect to an Approved Payment Request, such determination by us to be based upon factors including, but not limited to, documentation in our possession, your actions, and police reports, if applicable.

The duration of the processing period of any Night and Day Host Guarantee Payment Request Form that you file will depend on factors that include, but are not limited to: (i) the amount of payment that you are requesting for the Covered Loss; (ii) the location of the Covered Accommodation; (iii) the nature of the Covered Property and the nature of the Covered Losses; (iv) the completeness and type of documentation and information that you provide Night and Day regarding the Covered Losses; and (v) the number of Night and Day Host Guarantee Payment Request Forms that are currently being processed for other Hosts.

Approved Payment Request

If you have filed an Night and Day Host Guarantee Payment Request Form and such a payment request is approved in whole or in part for a Covered Loss (any such approved payment request, an “Approved Payment Request”), you will be paid the amount of the Covered Loss as calculated by Night and Day’s insurer.  The process for such calculation of Covered Losses is described under “Determination of the Amount of the Covered Loss” below. You will be notified by Night and Day and, as a condition of payment hereunder, you will be required to deliver to Night and Day an executed Approved Payment Request Agreement. Night and Day may use third party service providers to assist in the processing of the Night and Day Host Guarantee Payment Request Forms and Night and Day’s insurer may use third party service providers to assist in the investigation and adjustment of payment requests relating thereto.

For an Approved Payment Request that involves Covered Losses for Covered Property that is owned by a party other than you, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to pay all or a portion of the amount covered in such Approved Payment Request either to you or directly to the owner of such Covered Property. If an Night and Day Host Guarantee payment for all or a portion of such amount is made directly to the owner of such Covered Property, then you agree that such payment will be treated for purpose of the Approved Payment Request as being paid to you directly, and that you will be solely responsible for collecting from the owner of such Covered Property any portion of such payment to which you believe you are legally entitled.  For clarity, your indemnification obligations set forth below under the paragraph entitled “Indemnification” will apply to claims arising from any payments made pursuant to the Night and Day Host Guarantee, including without limitation any payments made directly to the owner of any Covered Property.

Determination of the Amount of the Covered Loss

The amount of Covered Losses will be computed as of the date of loss, at the location of the loss, and for not more than your interest, subject to the following:

  1. On exposed films, records, manuscripts, and drawings, the value blank plus the cost of copying information from back-up or from originals of a previous generation. Costs of research, engineering, or restoring or recreating lost information will not be paid.
  2. On Fine Arts articles, the lesser of (i) the reasonable and necessary cost to repair or restore such property to the physical condition that existed on the date of loss; (ii) the cost to replace the article; and (iii) the current appraised value. If the Fine Arts article is part of a pair or set, you will not be paid (1) for the cost of replacing any undamaged or remaining items that form part of such pair or set, (2) more than the proportion that the loss or damaged item bears to the insured value of such pair or set, or (3) the cost of replacing or repairing any undamaged parts of the Fine Arts articles which form part of a pair, set or suite or part of a common design or function when the loss or damage is restricted to a clearly identifiable area or to a specific part.
  3. For all Covered Property (other than that described in paragraphs A and B above), the loss amount will not exceed the lesser of: (i) the cost to repair such damaged Covered Property; (ii) the cost to rebuild or replace such Covered Property on the same site with new materials of like size, kind, and quality; (iii) the cost to rebuild, repair, or replace on the same or another site, but not to exceed the size and operating capacity that existed on the date of the Covered Loss; (iv) the cost to replace unrepairable electrical or mechanical equipment, including computer equipment, with equipment that is the most functionally equivalent to that damaged or destroyed, even if such equipment has technological advantages and/or represents an improvement in function and/or forms part of a program of system enhancement; or (v) the Actual Cash Value if such property is not repaired, replaced, or rebuilt on the same or another site within two years from the date of loss.
  4. Any amount of any Covered Losses payable under the Night and Day Host Guarantee will be reduced by the amount already paid to you or for your benefit by a Responsible Guest, Invitee or other source (such as an insurer or other responsible party) for the same Covered Loss.
  5.   Covered Losses will be paid in the currency of the United States of America unless, in Night and Day’s sole discretion, Night and Day elects to pay losses in a different currency. If currency conversions are required, we use a system-wide rate, known as the base exchange rate, for currency conversion using data from one or more third parties, such as OANDA ().

YOU ARE NOT AN INSURED OR OTHER THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY UNDER THE Night and Day INSURANCE POLICY.  TO THE EXTENT YOU DESIRE ADDITIONAL PROTECTION BEYOND THE COVERAGE AFFORDED BY THE Night and Day HOST GUARANTEE, Night and Day STRONGLY ENCOURAGES YOU TO PURCHASE SEPARATE INSURANCE THAT WILL COVER YOU AND YOUR PROPERTY FOR LOSSES CAUSED BY GUESTS OR GUESTS’ INVITEES IN THE EVENT Night and Day OR ITS INSURER DECLINES COVERAGE FOR CLAIMS UNDER THE Night and Day HOST GUARANTEE OR YOUR LOSS IS NOT OTHERWISE COVERED BY THE Night and Day HOST GUARANTEE.

VI. Acknowledgments and Agreements by the Host

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • The Night and Day Host Guarantee is a guarantee of obligations of a Responsible Guest to you and is dependent upon you pursuing any rights and remedies you may have to recover amounts paid by Night and Day to you with respect to an Approved Payment Request from the Responsible Guest or from an Invitee or from any other party that is financially responsible for the Approved Payment Request.
  • Night and Day provides Hosts with the Night and Day Host Guarantee benefits described herein solely for the purpose of promoting use of the Site, Application and Services by building customer loyalty and strengthening customer confidence as to use of the Site, Application and Services.
  • These Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms are not intended to constitute an offer to insure, do not constitute insurance or an insurance contract, and do not take the place of insurance obtained or obtainable by you. Furthermore, these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms are not an insurance service agreement as defined in a standard ISO renter’s or homeowner’s insurance policy.
  • The benefits provided under these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms are solely as set forth in the paragraph entitled “Night and Day Host Guarantee” above and such benefits are not assignable or transferable by you, including without limitation any transfer or assignment by operation of law or in connection with your divorce or death.
  • Night and Day and/or its insurer reserve the right to independently investigate (or to have independently investigated) at our sole discretion and expense, the facts and circumstances of a payment request set forth in any Night and Day Host Guarantee Payment Request Form that you file with Night and Day, notwithstanding your delivery of all information and materials that you are required to provide Night and Day in order to comply with the conditions set forth in the paragraph entitled “Conditions to the Night and Day Host Guarantee.” 

You acknowledge and agree that if you make a claim under this Host Guarantee, you give Night and Day consent to review all communications between you and the allegedly Responsible Guest via the Site or Application.

Night and Day reserves the right, at any time, to offset or deduct from the amounts payable or paid by Night and Day to you under these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms, any amounts that it may have in its possession, or to subsequently collect, from any other person or entity who is obligated to compensate you for losses or damages.

Because these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms constitute a guarantee agreement, the theory of exoneration applies. Thus, if the Covered Property in question or the risk associated with that Covered Property changes materially, Night and Day will be entitled to exoneration with respect to any potential guaranty obligation under these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms.

VII. Modification or Termination of Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms

To the extent permissible by applicable law in your jurisdiction, Night and Day reserves the right to modify or terminate these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms, at any time, in its sole discretion, and without prior notice. If Night and Day terminates these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms in accordance with the foregoing, Night and Day will provide you with notice of such termination and Night and Day will continue to process all Night and Day Host Guarantee Payment Request Forms that you filed prior to the effective date of termination, but your right to file any new Night and Day Host Guarantee Payment Request Forms will immediately terminate. If Night and Day modifies these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms, we will post the modification on the Site or via the Application or provide you with notice of the modification and Night and Day will continue to process all Night and Day Host Guarantee Payment Request Forms that you filed prior to the effective date of the modification. By continuing to access or use the Site, Application or Services as a Host after we have posted a modification on the Site or via the Application or have provided you with notice of a modification, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the modified Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms. If the modified Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms are not acceptable to you, your only recourse is to cease using the Site, Application and Services as a Host.

In addition to and without limiting Night and Day’s rights set forth above in the immediately preceding paragraph, Night and Day reserves the right to modify or terminate these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms generally or in any jurisdiction, at any time, in its sole discretion, if: (i) these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms are construed to be an offer to insure or constitute insurance or an insurance contract or insurance service agreement by any governmental or regulatory authority in any jurisdiction; (ii) Night and Day is required to obtain a license or permit of any kind to continue to provide these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms in any jurisdiction; or (iii) Night and Day determines or a court or arbitrator holds that the provisions of these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms violate applicable law. If Night and Day modifies or terminates these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms in accordance with the foregoing, Night and Day will process all Night and Day Host Guarantee Payment Request Forms that you file prior to or as of the effective date of such modification or termination unless such processing is prohibited by law, regulation, ordinance, order, or decree of any governmental or other authority.

Night and Day’s obligations hereunder are contingent upon the availability of insurance proceeds under the Night and Day Insurance Policy. The applicable terms and conditions of such policy will be the terms and conditions in effect on the date of the Covered Loss, and not the terms and conditions in effect on the date that the Responsible Guest booked or reserved the applicable Covered Accommodation or the date on which the Host listed the Covered Accommodation. If the policy terms and conditions change in any material respect between the date of the Listing and the first date of the Guest’s stay, Night and Day will use its best efforts to notify you of the change(s) pursuant to the procedures set forth above in this section.

VIII. Subrogation

Night and Day and/or Night and Day’s insurer have the right to subrogate against any person or entity whatsoever who allegedly is responsible for causing the losses or damages in question, even if that person or entity is you. Further, you hereby agree that, with respect to any payments made under the Night and Day Host Guarantee by, or on behalf of, Night and Day, you will assist in and cooperate fully with Night and Day regarding any and all efforts at subrogation.

Dispute Resolution

General. You and Night and Day agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or to the use of the Services or use of the Site or Application (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration. You acknowledge and agree that you and Night and Day are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Night and Day otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms.

Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The AAA Rules are available at or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at and a separate form for California residents at .) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless you and Night and Day otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Night and Day submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability” section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. Night and Day will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

Arbitration Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, Night and Day will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the “Modification or Termination of Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms” section above, if Night and Day changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to ) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated Date” above or in the date of Night and Day’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Night and Day in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you first accepted these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms).

Waiver and Severability

The failure of Night and Day to enforce any right or provision of these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Night and Day. Except as expressly set forth in these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Night and Day Host Guarantee Terms or otherwise.
