This agreement governs the relationship between you (“Guest”), SUPERHOG Ltd (“Superhog”) and your Host in any Booking. You should read this agreement carefully and only continue if you wish to be bound by the agreement in its entirety.
1.1. To protect the Host’s interest in the Property, the Guest agrees to complete a Booking Validation. As part of this process, the Guest may be required to verify their identity (ID) in advance of the Booking, including providing accepted photographic ID (if applicable).
1.2. The Host or Superhog, acting as the Host’s Agent, may pass the Guest’s details to a third-party provider to carry out ID verification and other checks.
1.3. No Superhog guarantees will be active in relation to a Booking if the Superhog Booking Validation has not been completed in advance of the Booking.
2.1. The Guest acknowledges they are liable for all Property Damage to, at or in the Property during the Booking which was directly or indirectly caused by their own action or inaction.
2.2. The Guest is liable for the full reservation amount owed to the Host, and any cancellation or refund is subject to the Host’s cancellation terms.
2.3. The Guest agrees not to make a Chargeback against the Host.
3.1. With regard to their Booking, the Guest agrees to the following conditions:
3.1.1. to use the Property only as permitted by the Host and always in a reasonable and responsible manner. Parties are strictly prohibited unless pre-authorised by the Host;
3.1.2. to operate any appliance(s), fixtures and fittings in accordance with provided instructions and in a reasonable and careful manner;
3.1.3. to take full responsibility for the conduct and behaviour of any person(s) they have permitted to enter the Property;

4.1. Wherever possible, the Guest shall take a photographic record of the Property at the start and the end of the Booking. In the event the Guest does not do so, the Guest acknowledges that it will be hard for them to prove that any Property Damage was not caused by them.
4.2. On becoming aware of any Property Damage or similar, the Guest shall act without delay and take all reasonable steps to minimise its effects, including but not limited to, steps to prevent it from worsening and/or causing nuisance to the occupier of any neighbouring premises. The Guest shall report any such Property Damage to the Host or Superhog as soon as reasonably practicable.
4.3. In accordance with Clause 2.1, the Guest is liable for all Property Damage to, at or in the Property during their Booking which was directly or indirectly caused by their own action or inaction. In addition to any liability for Property Damage, the Guest agrees to compensate the Host for any fees or charges payable, including compensation to occupiers of neighbouring premises caused by the Guest’s actions, inactions or their failure to fulfil any of the obligations in this agreement.
4.4. In the event of unreported Property Damage, it will be assumed that any Property Damage was caused by the Guest and they will be liable in accordance with Clause 2.1.
4.5. The Guest acknowledges that the cost of Property Damage will be determined at Superhog’s sole discretion.
5.1. This agreement sets out the terms on which Superhog provides services in respect of a Booking. By entering into this agreement you also agree to our Website Terms and Privacy and Data Protection policy which you can find at www.superhog.com.

5.2. To the extent this agreement is signed by an Agent or representative of a Guest, it is deemed to also bind the Guest and confirms their acceptance to the terms of this agreement.
5.3. You agree that Superhog may pass on certain information to the Host in connection with the Booking (if relevant).
