Article 5. Requirements applicable to the Host
(1) In order to act as a Host you must be a natural person who has reached the age of 18 or a duly incorporated legal entity.
(2) You must have the right to let the Property: as its owner, as a person holding the owner's express written consent, or on another legal basis conferring such a right on you. The Platform is entitled to request evidence at any time.
(3) You must have verified and must comply with: the restrictions set out in the condominium rules and in the decisions of the general meeting; the restrictions in your lease agreement, if you are not the owner; the restrictions in mortgage or insurance contracts; spatial planning and zoning rules; and all applicable short-term accommodation regimes.
(4) The information provided by the Platform in relation to these obligations is general and for information purposes only. Establishing and complying with the applicable requirements is entirely your responsibility.
SECTION II. THE ROLE OF THE PLATFORM AND YOUR STATUS
Article 6. Role of the Platform
(1) The Platform is an intermediary acting in the name and for the account of another. It is not, and does not become, a party to the accommodation contract between you and the Guest.
(2) The Platform is not a tour operator, travel agent, real estate broker, insurer or payment service provider.
(3) The relationship between you and the Platform is one between independent parties. You are not an employee, representative, partner or joint venturer of the Platform. The only relationship of representation is the limited authorisation under Article 22.
(4) The Platform does not direct or control how you provide your service. You determine independently whether, when, and on what terms and at what prices you offer the Property.
Article 7. Declaration of trader / private status
(1) Upon registration you must declare whether you act as a trader or as a private individual, in accordance with Article 30 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 and Article 47a of the Bulgarian Consumer Protection Act (Zakon za zashtita na potrebitelite, "CPA").
(2) The status declared is displayed publicly in each of your Listings. If you declare that you are not a trader, an express warning is displayed in the Listing informing Guests that EU consumer legislation does not apply to the contract between them and you.
(3) Declaring a false status is a material breach of these Terms and constitutes an independent ground for measures under Article 41.
Article 8. Mandatory information for Business Hosts
As a microenterprise within the meaning of Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC, the Platform is exempt from Articles 30 to 32 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 pursuant to Article 29 thereof. This Article nevertheless applies, because the collection and verification of the same data are independently required under Regulation (EU) 2024/1028, under Article 113 TA and under Directive (EU) 2021/514 (DAC7). See Articles 12–15 and Article 30.
(1) If you are a Business Host, you must provide the Platform, before publication of your first Listing, with:
your name or corporate name, registered seat and address;
a telephone number and an e-mail address for contact, which are displayed to Guests;
a copy of the identity document of the representative or electronic identification under Article 3 of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014;
payment account details;
the register in which you are entered and the registration number (for Bulgaria: the UIC from the Commercial Register);
a declaration that the Properties offered comply with the applicable requirements.
(2) You will not be able to offer Properties until the Platform has been able to assess the information as reliable and complete. The Platform carries out the assessment by consulting official public databases of the EU or of a Member State and, where necessary, by requesting additional documents.
(3) You must keep the information up to date and notify the Platform of any change without delay. If you fail to update it, the Platform suspends publication of your Listings until the non-compliance is remedied, notifying you with a statement of reasons and granting you a reasonable period.
(4) The Platform retains the information referred to in paragraph 1 for a period of six months following termination of the contractual relationship, unless a longer period is required by law.
SECTION III. REGISTRATION, VERIFICATION AND PAYMENT ONBOARDING
Article 9. Registration and account
(1) The account is personal and non-transferable. You are responsible for safeguarding access to it and for all actions carried out through it.
(2) If you manage Properties through a team, a co-host or a property management company, you are jointly and severally liable with those persons for compliance with these Terms and for their acts in connection with your Listings.
(3) The person accepting the Terms on behalf of a legal entity declares that they have the authority to bind it.
Article 10. Verification by the Platform
(1) The Platform is entitled to carry out identity and reliability checks, including cross-checks against public registers and against third-party fraud prevention databases.
(2) A check does not constitute a guarantee or an endorsement. The designation "verified" means solely that a particular procedure has been completed, and nothing more.
Article 11. Payment onboarding and KYC through Mollie
(1) In order to receive Payouts, you must complete an identification and verification procedure (KYC/KYB) with Mollie B.V., an electronic money institution licensed and supervised by De Nederlandsche Bank.
(2) As part of that procedure, Mollie may request: the identity document of the representative; details of the ultimate beneficial owners; incorporation and representation documents; bank account details; and information on the source of funds.
(3) These requirements arise from anti-money laundering legislation and are applied by Mollie in its capacity as an obliged entity. The Platform cannot derogate from them.
(4) Your relationship with Mollie is governed by Mollie's terms, available at [link]. Acceptance of these Terms includes your consent for the Platform to transfer to Mollie the data necessary for onboarding.
(5) Until the procedure has been successfully completed, the Platform is entitled to instruct Mollie to defer all Payouts. Where identification is impossible or you refuse to complete it, the Platform is entitled to terminate the contract under Article 43.
SECTION IV. REGISTRATION OF THE PROPERTY AND MANDATORY REPORTING
This Section implements Regulation (EU) 2024/1028, applicable from 20 May 2026, and Article 113(3) TA. The obligations under it are not capable of being relaxed by contract.
Article 12. Self-declaration regarding the registration regime
(1) Before publication of each Listing you must declare, through the Platform's interface:
the exact address and the type of the Property;
whether the Property is located in an area in which a procedure for registration or categorisation of accommodation establishments has been introduced;
where such a procedure has been introduced, the valid Registration Number of the Property.
(2) The declaration must be complete and accurate. The Platform assesses its completeness by automated means, in so far as this is proportionately possible.
Article 13. Prohibition on publication without a valid Registration Number
(1) A Listing for a Property located in an area in which a registration regime has been introduced will not be published unless a Registration Number is provided. The Platform is not entitled to allow any exception.
(2) For properties situated on the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria this also follows from Article 113(3) TA, under which the online offering of tourist services may be carried out only in respect of categorised or registered accommodation establishments. The obligation to register class "B" accommodation establishments (guest apartments and guest rooms) with the mayor of the municipality in which the property is located arises from Article 113(2) in conjunction with Article 128 TA.
(3) The Registration Number is displayed publicly as part of the Listing. By publishing the Listing you consent to this.
(4) For properties situated on the territory of the Hellenic Republic, the Listing will not be published without a valid Α.Μ.Α. entered in the Μητρώο Ακινήτων Βραχυχρόνιας Διαμονής (Article 111 of Greek Law 4446/2016) or, where the Property holds a Ειδικό Σήμα Λειτουργίας, without a valid ΜΗ.Τ.Ε. number. The number is published in a prominent place in the Listing and in every advertising medium, in accordance with the express requirement of Α.Α.Δ.Ε.
(5) For properties outside the Republic of Bulgaria, you are responsible for complying with the applicable national registration regime of the country in which the Property is located.
Article 14. Checks and consequences
(1) The Platform carries out regular random checks on the declarations under Article 12 and on the validity of Registration Numbers, including by consulting public registers and the single digital entry points of the Member States.
(2) Where a Registration Number is found to be invalid, suspended, withdrawn or duplicated, and where the declaration contains inaccurate data, the Platform:
notifies you without undue delay, with a statement of reasons;
grants you a reasonable period to remedy the situation, where the nature of the non-compliance so permits;
deactivates or deletes the Listing where the non-compliance is not remedied or where the number has been withdrawn;
informs the competent authority of the outcome of the check, where this is required by Regulation (EU) 2024/1028.
(3) Where a competent authority orders the suspension or withdrawal of a Registration Number, the Platform deletes the Listing immediately, without prior notice.
(4) You must keep the data referred to in Article 12 up to date and notify the Platform of any change in the registration status of the Property.
Article 15. Transmission of activity data
(1) In implementation of Article 9 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1028, the Platform transmits to the competent authorities, through the single digital entry point, activity data for each Property, including:
the number of nights and the number of guests;
the country of residence of each guest;
the Registration Number, the exact address and the electronic address (URL) of the Listing.
(2) The data are transmitted monthly and, where the Platform meets the conditions for the lighter regime, quarterly.
(3) For properties in the Hellenic Republic, the data are transmitted to the Greek single digital entry point under Article 10 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 and, until it becomes operational, in accordance with the procedure determined by the competent Greek authority. Separately, pursuant to Article 111(7) of Greek Law 4446/2016, the Platform provides Α.Α.Δ.Ε., upon request, with the information necessary to identify property managers.
(4) The legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(c) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (compliance with a legal obligation). Details are set out in the Privacy Policy.
(5) These obligations do not exclude your own obligations under Article 29 (ESTI and the register of accommodated persons).
SECTION IV-A. SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR PROPERTIES IN THE HELLENIC REPUBLIC

(4) The list under paragraph 2 is updated and published at [link]. The Host is responsible for verifying the regime in force irrespective of the content of that list.
Article 15c. Tax obligations in the Hellenic Republic
(1) Τ.Α.Κ.Κ. The Host collects from the Guest and remits the climate crisis resilience levy (Greek Law 5073/2023; Article 24 of Greek Law 5162/2024): EUR 8.00 per night from April to October and EUR 2.00 per night from November to March for apartments and dwellings; EUR 15.00 and EUR 4.00 respectively for single-family houses exceeding 80 sq. m.

(3) VAT. The Host declares whether it is subject to Greek VAT at the rate of 13 %. An obligation arises where three or more properties are let, where the letting is carried out by a legal entity, and where services other than accommodation and the provision of bed linen are supplied.
(4) The Host provides the Platform with its Greek tax identification number (ΑΦΜ / AFM, the Greek tax identification number) for the purposes of the due diligence under Article 30.
(5) The Platform does not collect or remit Greek taxes and levies on behalf of the Host and does not provide tax advice.
Article 15d. Restriction on additional services
(1) The Host is prohibited from offering through the Platform any services other than accommodation and the provision of bed linen, unless it holds a Ειδικό Σήμα Λειτουργίας or has filed a γνωστοποίηση (gnostopoiisi, notification) and is entered in ΜΗ.Τ.Ε. in accordance with Article 46(5) of Greek Law 4179/2013.
(2) The provision of breakfast, cleaning during the stay, transfers or other services without such registration reclassifies the activity as tourist accommodation and constitutes a material breach of these Terms.
(3) The same applies where all the apartments in a single building or residential complex are let on a short-term basis.
SECTION V. THE LISTING
Article 16. Creation and content of the Listing
(1) You determine independently the content of the Listing, the price, the availability and the Property rules, within the limits of these Terms and of the applicable law.
(2) The Listing must be accurate, complete, up to date and not misleading. You must describe truthfully: the location; the type and area of the Property; the number and type of beds; the maximum number of guests; all amenities; the restrictions and rules; and all circumstances capable of materially influencing the Guest's decision, including construction works in the building, sources of noise, the absence of a lift, stairs and other accessibility conditions.
(3) Photographs must reflect the actual condition of the Property, must have been taken in it and must not be edited in a way that creates a misleading impression.
(4) Only one active Listing is permitted per Property. Duplicate Listings are removed.
(5) You must disclose the presence of video surveillance, audio recording or other monitoring devices in and around the Property, stating their location and coverage. Monitoring devices in interior spaces (bedrooms, bathrooms and toilets) are absolutely prohibited. A breach is material and results in immediate termination under Article 43(2), as well as in notification of the competent authorities.
Article 17. Content and rights therein
(1) You bear full responsibility for the Content you publish and warrant that you hold the necessary rights in it, including the rights in the photographs and the rights of the persons depicted.
(2) By publishing it, you grant the Platform a non-exclusive, royalty-free, territorially unlimited, sub-licensable and transferable right to use, store, reproduce, adapt, translate, publish and distribute the Content for the purposes of providing and promoting the Platform and the Listing, including through the channels referred to in Article 48, for the term of protection of the relevant rights.
(3) The right under paragraph 2 does not transfer ownership to the Platform. You retain your rights in the Content and may use it freely elsewhere.
(4) Upon termination of the contract, the Platform ceases to use the Content within a reasonable period, save where retention is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, to resolve a pending dispute or to defend legal claims.
(5) The Platform may make available to you an optional writing assistant based on artificial intelligence which, at your request, drafts the description of the Listing from the details you have entered in the Listing. A draft is only a suggestion: it is prepared solely from those details, may contain errors or omissions and becomes part of the Listing only if you save it. Before saving a draft, you must review it and correct anything that is inaccurate, incomplete or misleading. Once saved, the description is your Content: you bear full responsibility for it under paragraph 1, and it must meet the requirements of Article 16(2) and of the Listing Quality Standards in the same way as a description you have written yourself. Paragraphs 2 to 4 apply to it, and it is subject to moderation in the same way as any other Content. The Platform claims no rights in a draft; to the extent that any rights arise in it, they belong to you.
Article 18. Quality standards
(1) The minimum requirements applicable to Listings and to service are set out in the Listing Quality Standards, published at [link] and forming an integral part of these Terms. They govern the completeness of the description, the requirements applicable to photographs, the response time for enquiries, the acceptance rate for booking requests, the maximum permitted cancellation rate, the average review score, the accuracy of the calendar, the minimum requirements applicable to the condition of the Property and the graduated consequences of non-compliance.
(2) The Standards are amended in accordance with Article 53.
SECTION VI. RANKING
Article 19. Main parameters determining ranking
(1) In implementation of Article 5 of the P2B Regulation, the Platform discloses the main parameters determining the ranking of Listings and their relative importance.
(2) The main parameters, listed in decreasing order of relative importance, are:
| No. | Parameter | Relative importance | Content |
| 1 | Match with the Guest's search | Very high | Destination, dates, number of guests, price range, filters applied. A Listing that does not match the search is not displayed at all. |
| 2 | Characteristics of the Listing | High | Location relative to the destination searched, price relative to comparable Properties, availability for the period, completeness and quality of the description and photographs, number and average score of reviews |
| 3 | Quality of the Host's service | Medium | Acceptance rate for booking requests, response rate for enquiries, average response time, cancellation history, accuracy of the calendar, number of substantiated complaints, number of substantiated Booking Issue reports, compliance with the Standards under Article 18 |
| 4 | Host requirements | Medium | Minimum and maximum length of stay, advance booking period, restrictions on the number of guests |
| 5 | Guest preferences and history | Low to medium | Previous bookings, Listings viewed and saved, location of the search |
| 6 | Length of presence on the Platform | Low | Listings with an accumulated history receive a slight priority over newly created ones |
(3) Influence of remuneration. The Platform offers a paid service for promoting Listings. Promoted positions are clearly identified as such when displayed. Outside the expressly identified promoted positions, direct or indirect remuneration does not influence ranking. The amount of the Commission does not influence ranking.
(4) Differentiated treatment. The Platform does not offer its own accommodation properties and is not related to any Host whose Listings are displayed on the Platform. No differentiated treatment within the meaning of Article 7 of the P2B Regulation applies. Should this change, the Platform will notify Hosts in accordance with Article 53 and will publish a description of any differentiated treatment.
(5) The full description of the parameters is available on the "How ranking works" page, [link], directly accessible from the search results page.
(6) The disclosure under this Article does not oblige the Platform to disclose algorithms or any information the disclosure of which would enable consumers to be deceived or search results to be manipulated (Article 5(6) of the P2B Regulation).
SECTION VII. PRICES, COMMISSION AND TAXATION OF THE COMMISSION
Article 20. Pricing
(1) You freely determine the accommodation price and all additional mandatory fees.
(2) Prohibition of hidden fees. All mandatory fees (cleaning fees, extra guest fees, pet fees and others) must be entered in the Listing in such a way that they are included in the Total Price displayed to the Guest. Charging on site mandatory fees that were not disclosed prior to booking is prohibited.
(3) Prohibition of circumventing the Platform. You are prohibited from negotiating, accepting or requesting payment for accommodation arranged through the Platform outside the Platform with a view to avoiding the Commission. A breach is material.
(4) The Platform does not impose on you any obligation to offer the Property at the same or a lower price than on other channels. No price parity clause applies.
(5) Price without mark-up. The price you set is the price you receive as the basis for calculating the Payout. The Platform does not add any mark-up to it. The Platform charges the Guest no service fee: the price displayed to the Guest is the price you set.
Article 21. Commission and tax treatment
(1) For the intermediation service, you owe the Platform a Commission in the amount set out in the Fee Schedule, calculated on the accommodation price and on the Host's mandatory fees, excluding the tourist tax under the Bulgarian Local Taxes and Fees Act (Zakon za mestnite danatsi i taksi, "LTFA"), excluding the Τ.Α.Κ.Κ. and excluding any other tax or charge collected for the account of a public authority; the base is defined in section 1.2 of the Fee Schedule. The Platform charges the Guest no service fee. The Commission is the Platform's sole remuneration in respect of the Booking, other than the paid promotion under section 3 of the Fee Schedule which you have voluntarily requested.
(2) The current Fee Schedule is published at [link], forms an integral part of these Terms and is amended in accordance with Article 53. The Fee Schedule governs the amount of the commission, the fees for paid promotion and all other amounts payable by the Host.
(3) The Commission becomes due upon conclusion of the Booking and is deducted at the time of Payout under Article 24.
(4) Tax treatment of the Commission. The Platform's service is an intermediation service and not a service connected with immovable property. Accordingly:
| Your status | Place of supply | VAT charged |
| Taxable person established in Bulgaria | Bulgaria (Article 21(2) of the Bulgarian Value Added Tax Act (Zakon za danak varhu dobavenata stoynost, "VATA")) | The Platform charges 20 % VAT |
| Taxable person established in another Member State | The country of the recipient (Article 21(2) VATA) | Invoice issued without VAT; you apply the reverse charge; the Platform files a VIES return |
| Non-taxable person (private individual) | Bulgaria (Article 21(1) VATA) | The Platform charges 20 % VAT |
(5) Important. Under the present structure, the Platform is established in the Republic of Bulgaria and charges the Bulgarian VAT due in accordance with paragraph 4. If you receive intermediation or other services from non-resident taxable persons (including from other platforms), you may become subject to a separate obligation to register under Article 97a VATA, with no turnover threshold, and to self-charge VAT under Article 82(2)(3) VATA, with no right to input tax credit. The Platform does not provide tax advice; please consult an accountant.
(6) The Platform issues an invoice or another tax document for the Commission, available in your account.
SECTION VIII. PAYMENTS
Article 22. Appointment of the Platform as limited payment collection agent
(1) By accepting these Terms, you appoint the Platform to act as your limited payment collection agent, solely for the purposes of accepting and processing funds from Guests for accommodation booked by them, on your behalf.
(2) You agree that a payment made by the Guest through the Platform and Mollie is deemed to be a payment made directly to you, and that you are obliged to provide the accommodation as if you had received the payment directly from the Guest. The legal basis is Article 75(1) of the Bulgarian Obligations and Contracts Act (Zakon za zadalzheniyata i dogovorite, "OCA"), performance to a person authorised to receive it.
(3) The Platform's obligation to pay you arises only to the extent that the corresponding payment has been successfully received from the Guest. The Platform does not guarantee payments out of its own funds.
(4) If the Platform fails to transfer to you an amount received, you have a claim against the Platform only, and not against the Guest.
(5) The Platform acts as agent of the Host only and does not provide payment services to the Guest. The authorisation under this Article falls within the commercial agent exclusion under Article 3(b) of Directive (EU) 2015/2366 and the corresponding provision of the Bulgarian Payment Services and Payment Systems Act (Zakon za platezhnite uslugi i platezhnite sistemi, "PSPSA").
(6) The authorisation does not create any authority to represent you beyond what is expressly set out and does not make the Platform a party to the accommodation contract.
Article 23. Role of Mollie
(1) Payment processing and the allocation of funds are carried out by Mollie B.V., an electronic money institution licensed and supervised by De Nederlandsche Bank, which operates on the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria on a duly notified cross-border basis.
(2) Mollie allocates the funds received by transferring the net amount to you, and the Commission to the Platform. The funds do not pass through any account of the Platform.
(3) Your relationship with Mollie is governed by Mollie's terms. The Platform is not liable for the acts or omissions of Mollie, save to the extent that they result from the Platform's own instructions or breaches.
Article 24. Payout timing
(1) Subject to the condition in Article 22(3), the Platform initiates the Payout to the method selected by you:
by the end of the business day following the Guest's check-in date (standard regime);
for stays of 28 nights or more: the first Payout by the end of the business day following check-in, and monthly thereafter.
(2) Extended regime. For Hosts who: do not have at least two completed bookings through the Platform; or are in breach of these Terms; or where this is reasonably necessary to protect the Platform, consumers or third parties, the Payout is initiated by the end of the business day following the Guest's check-out date. The Platform notifies you of the application of the extended regime and of the grounds for it.
(3) The actual receipt of funds depends on Mollie and on your bank.
(4) The amount of the Payout is the Total Price less: any Guest Service Fee charged under a previous version of the Fee Schedule, which does not belong to you; the Commission plus the VAT charged on it; amounts allocated at your instruction to a co-host or to the owner of the Property; and any amount due under Article 26.
(5) The Payout schedule and breakdown are available in your account.
Article 25. Deferral, suspension and cancellation of Payouts
(1) The Platform is entitled to instruct Mollie temporarily to defer, suspend or cancel a Payout where:
this is necessary to prevent unlawful activity or fraud, to assess risk or to complete an investigation;
it is not possible to confirm your identity or that of your representative or ultimate beneficial owner;
you have not provided the information requested under Article 11 or Article 30;
the Platform reasonably expects to refund an amount to the Guest under Article 27 of the Guest Terms or under the Cancellation Policy;
there is a mass cancellation or modification of bookings due to force majeure.
(2) The instruction to Mollie under paragraph 1 is temporary and proportionate and has effect only for as long as the ground for it persists. The Platform notifies you of the measure and of the grounds for it without undue delay and informs you what steps you need to take.
(3) A measure under paragraph 1 may be challenged in accordance with Article 45.
Article 26. Set-off and recovery of amounts
(1) You authorise the Platform to collect from you, including by instructing Mollie to deduct from future Payouts, the following amounts, to the extent that they are due:
the Commission and the taxes thereon;
amounts refunded to a Guest as a result of a cancellation by you or of a substantiated Booking Issue;
liquidated damages under Article 33 for cancellation without a valid reason;
chargeback amounts and the related fees under Article 27;
amounts paid in error, including duplicate payments;
amounts obtained by you as a result of fraudulent conduct;
the price difference covered by the Platform on relocation of the Guest under Article 33(4) and Article 35.
(2) The Platform notifies you in writing of any set-off, stating the grounds and the amount, before or at the same time as it is effected.
(3) If the amount exceeds the Payouts due to you, the Platform is entitled to recover it under the general rules.
(4) Set-off does not affect your right to contest the grounds and the amount in accordance with Article 45 and by way of ordinary legal proceedings.
Article 27. Chargebacks
(1) A chargeback is a dispute raised by the Guest with the issuer of their payment instrument in respect of a payment transaction.
(2) Where a chargeback is received in respect of a Booking:
the Platform notifies you without delay;
you must provide, within 5 business days, all evidence necessary to contest the chargeback: confirmation of the stay, communication with the Guest, photographs, identity documents of the accommodated persons, to the extent permissible;
the Platform submits the dispute to Mollie.
(3) If the chargeback is upheld in favour of the Guest, the corresponding amount and the card scheme fee shall be borne by you and the Platform is entitled to set them off in accordance with Article 26, except where the chargeback is attributable to an act or omission of the Platform.
(4) Repeated chargebacks in respect of your Bookings constitute grounds for measures under Article 41.
SECTION IX. TAX AND REGULATORY OBLIGATIONS OF THE HOST
Article 28. General obligation
(1) You are solely responsible for determining, declaring and paying all taxes, charges and social security contributions relating to your letting activity, including: personal income tax (the Bulgarian Personal Income Taxes Act, Zakon za danatsite varhu dohodite na fizicheskite litsa), corporate income tax (the Bulgarian Corporate Income Tax Act, Zakon za korporativnoto podohodno oblagane), patent tax under the LTFA, where applicable, VAT, tourist tax under the LTFA and social security contributions.

charge and remit the tourist tax under the LTFA in accordance with the ordinance of the relevant municipal council;
maintain the Property in compliance with the requirements applicable to its category or registration.
(2) The Platform may request evidence of compliance with these obligations and may suspend the Listing if such evidence is not provided.
(3) For properties outside the Republic of Bulgaria you must comply with the relevant national regime for registration, reporting of accommodated persons and tourist taxes, and provide the Platform with evidence of such compliance upon request.

(4) The Platform provides you with a copy of the information reported in respect of you.
(5) If you fail to provide the requested information, after two reminders and the expiry of a 60-day period from the first reminder, the Platform is entitled to instruct Mollie to suspend Payouts to you and/or to close your account. This measure is expressly provided for under the DAC7 mechanism and does not constitute a breach of these Terms by the Platform.
(6) The legal basis for processing these data is Article 6(1)(c) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
(7) The Platform reports in the Republic of Bulgaria as its Member State of registration. In accordance with the single Member State reporting principle under Directive (EU) 2021/514, data concerning Properties and Hosts in the Hellenic Republic are exchanged automatically between the National Revenue Agency and Α.Α.Δ.Ε. The Platform does not carry out a separate registration in Greece for DAC7 purposes.
Article 31. Self-billing
(1) As at the effective date of these Terms, the Platform does not issue invoices in the name of Hosts. Should this facility be introduced, it will apply only pursuant to a separate written agreement.
(2) Where applicable and with your express consent, the Platform may issue invoices in your name for the accommodation service, in accordance with Article 113(11) VATA or, as the case may be, in accordance with the legislation applicable in the country of the Host's establishment.

(2) It is prohibited to offer through the Platform accommodation in combination with another travel service at an inclusive price, under the designation "package" or in a manner that could result in what is offered being classified as package travel or as a linked travel arrangement.
(3) If you offer additional services, they must be clearly separated, separately priced, and must not be booked through a linked online booking process in which the Guest's data are transferred to another trader.
SECTION X. CANCELLATION AND BOOKING ISSUES
Article 33. Cancellation by the Host
(1) You are not entitled to cancel a confirmed Booking without a valid reason.
(2) A valid reason exists in the case of: a circumstance falling under section 6 of the Cancellation Policy; circumstances rendering the Property objectively unfit for use and arising through no fault of yours; or a reasonable suspicion of fraud or of a breach of these Terms by the Guest.
(3) In the event of cancellation without a valid reason, the Platform is entitled to:
charge liquidated damages amounting to 20 % of the price of the cancelled Booking, but not more than EUR 200. For Bookings with a value below EUR 100 no liquidated damages are due; the measures under Article 41 apply;
block the calendar for the cancelled dates;
publish in your Listing an automatic notice stating that the Booking was cancelled by the Host without a valid reason;
apply measures under Article 41 in the event of repeated breaches.
(4) The Platform covers for the Guest the price difference arising from relocation to a comparable Property and is entitled to set it off against your Payouts up to 20 % of the accommodation price under the cancelled Booking, but not more than EUR 200.
Article 34. Cancellation Policies
(1) For each Listing you select one Cancellation Policy: from among the templates offered by the Platform, Flexible, Moderate and Strict, or you define your own terms.
(2) The templates constitute standard terms proposed by the Platform. By selecting them you accept them and they bind both you and the Guest.
(3) Your own terms may not be less favourable to the Guest than the Strict policy and may not exclude the Guest's rights in the event of cancellation by you or in cases of Extenuating Circumstances.
(4) The Platform's rules on Booking Issues and Extenuating Circumstances (Article 27 of the Guest Terms) prevail over the Cancellation Policy selected by you in the situations they govern. Amounts refunded to the Guest are set off in accordance with Article 26.
Article 35. Booking Issues
(1) Where a Guest submits a substantiated report under Article 27 of the Guest Terms, the Platform notifies you and grants you a period of 24 hours to submit your position and evidence.
(2) The Platform issues a reasoned decision. Where the report is upheld, the amount refunded to the Guest is set off against your Payouts.
(3) The decision may be challenged in accordance with Article 45 and, where it concerns a cancellation or a refund, also in accordance with section 10 of the Cancellation Policy, within 30 days of notification. That period does not limit your right to challenge the same decision through the internal complaint-handling system within the six-month period under Article 45(8). Challenging the decision does not affect your right to judicial protection.
SECTION XI. DAMAGE
Article 36. Damage Report
(1) You are entitled to submit a Damage Report in accordance with Articles 32–35 of the Guest Terms if a Guest, a person accommodated by the Guest or a pet has directly caused: physical loss of or damage to property; lost revenue from subsequent bookings cancelled as a direct result of the damage; or cleaning costs materially exceeding the cleaning fee announced.
(2) The Damage Report is submitted through the Platform within 14 days of the check-out date or before the start of the next booking, whichever occurs earlier.
(3) The burden of proving the grounds and the amount rests with you. You must submit: photographs taken before and after the stay bearing a verifiable date; invoices, repair quotations or expert valuations; and any other relevant documentation.
(4) The Platform grants the Guest a period to submit their position and counter-evidence and issues a reasoned decision.
(5) The Platform does not guarantee that the amount will be collected. Automatic collection from the Guest's payment instrument is limited to EUR 500 per Booking. For the balance you may pursue your rights under the general rules.
(6) The Platform's decision is not an arbitral award and does not affect your right to judicial protection against the Guest.
Article 37. Insurance
(1) You must maintain valid insurance covering your civil liability for bodily injury and damage to property of third parties in connection with the Property, as well as insurance of the Property itself, in so far as applicable.
(2) The Platform does not provide insurance cover and is not an insurer or an insurance intermediary. The mechanism under Article 36 is a contractual dispute resolution mechanism and not insurance.
(3) The Platform may request evidence that insurance is in place.
(4) The Platform does not take responsibility for, and is not liable for, any loss of or damage to your Property, its contents and furnishings or any other property of yours or of the owner of the Property located there, or for any loss resulting from it (including lost revenue and cleaning costs), however caused, including by Guests, by persons accommodated by them, by their pets, by other users or by third parties. The Platform does not compensate, insure or guarantee against such loss or damage and does not pay any amount for it out of its own funds. Such loss or damage is a matter between you and the Guest concerned (and, where applicable, your insurer). The Platform's only role is to administer the Damage Report procedure under Article 36 as an intermediary, including deciding on Damage Reports and collecting amounts within the cap in Article 36(5); that procedure is not a guarantee, an insurance or a compensation scheme, and you should cover the risk of such loss or damage by the insurance referred to in paragraph 1. This paragraph does not affect the Platform's obligations under Article 36 or, in respect of any amount collected from the Guest under that Article, under Article 22(4), and it does not exclude the Platform's liability under Article 50(1) to (3), nor any right that cannot be excluded or limited under a mandatory rule of law, including, where you are a Private Host who qualifies as a consumer, your rights under the CPA or under the mandatory consumer protection provisions referred to in Article 54(2).
SECTION XII. REVIEWS, CONTENT AND MODERATION
Article 38. Reviews
(1) The two-sided system under Article 36 of the Guest Terms applies: both the Guest and the Host may leave a review within 14 days, and the reviews are published simultaneously.
(2) It is prohibited to: offer or provide any benefit in exchange for a review; threaten or coerce a Guest with a view to influencing a review; publish a review of your own Property or of a Property of a related person; or request the removal of a review merely because it is negative.
(3) The Platform removes a review only on the grounds set out in Article 36(4) of the Guest Terms, in accordance with the procedure under Article 40.
Article 39. Prohibited conduct
In addition to the prohibitions under Article 38 of the Guest Terms, the following are prohibited:
declaring a false trader / private individual status;
publishing a Listing for a Property that does not exist, is not available or to which you have no right to admit guests;
circumventing the Platform contrary to Article 20(3);
discriminating against Guests on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or age;
manipulating ranking, reviews or availability;
installing monitoring devices in interior spaces.
Article 40. Notification, measures and reasoned decision
(1) Articles 39, 40, 41 and 43 of the Guest Terms apply mutatis mutandis as regards: the absence of a general monitoring obligation; the notice and action mechanism for illegal content; the choice and proportionality of measures; and the measures against misuse of those mechanisms, the latter being applied voluntarily in accordance with Section 9 of the Content and Moderation Policy.
(2) Article 42 of the Guest Terms does not apply to Hosts in its entirety, including paragraph 5 thereof concerning the certified out-of-court dispute settlement body. Complaints are handled in accordance with Article 45 of these Terms, and the other remedies are set out in Article 46.
(3) In respect of any measure taken against your Content, the Platform provides you with a statement of reasons containing the elements set out in Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, including whether automated means were used.

(3) The notice under paragraph 2(1) is accompanied by a statement of reasons on a durable medium.
Article 44. Consequences of termination
(1) Where you terminate, termination takes effect after performance of the Bookings already confirmed, unless you, the Platform and the Guests concerned agree otherwise. Bookings are cancelled with a full refund to Guests only in the event of termination under Article 43(2)(2).
(2) Payouts due to you in respect of stays already completed are made under the general rules, after deduction of the amounts due.

Article 45. Internal complaint-handling system
(1) The Platform operates an internal complaint-handling system voluntarily. As a microenterprise within the meaning of Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC, it is exempt from the obligation under Article 11 of the P2B Regulation pursuant to Article 11(5) thereof.

(8) A complaint must be submitted within six months of notification of the measure or of the decision being challenged.

(2) If a complaint under Article 45 is not resolved, the Platform is willing to discuss a voluntary settlement of the dispute, including through mediation, if both parties so agree. The costs in such a case are agreed between the parties.
(3) The right of either party to bring proceedings before the competent court remains entirely unaffected and does not depend on the exhaustion of the procedure under Article 45.
(4) If the Platform ceases to meet the criteria for a microenterprise, Article 12 of the P2B Regulation becomes applicable and this Article will be amended in accordance with Article 53, identifying at least two mediators.

SECTION XVIII. FINAL PROVISIONS
Article 54. Governing law and jurisdiction
(1) These Terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Bulgaria.
(2) If you are a natural person (a Private Host) and you qualify as a consumer under the applicable law, the mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country of your habitual residence apply irrespective of the choice of Bulgarian law (Article 6(2) of the Rome I Regulation), and the competent court is determined in accordance with Article 18 of Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012.
(3) If you act as a trader, the competent court is the court of the Platform's registered seat, [city].
(4) Before bringing proceedings before a court, the parties cooperate in good faith to settle the dispute under Article 45 and may have recourse to the means set out in Article 46. The exhaustion of those procedures is not a condition for bringing proceedings before a court.
(5) The choice of Bulgarian law does not affect the mandatory provisions of the law of the place where the Property is located, in so far as they govern registration, categorisation, the requirements applicable to the property and tax obligations. For properties in the Hellenic Republic, these matters are governed by Greek law.
Article 55. Notices
(1) Notices are given electronically: to the e-mail address you have provided and through your account.
(2) A notice sent by e-mail is deemed received on the third day after it is sent, unless it is received earlier or a delivery failure message is received. The statements of reasons under Article 42 and the notice periods under Articles 43 and 53 are duplicated with a notification in your account and are deemed served on the later of the two events.
(3) You must keep your e-mail address up to date.
Article 56. Assignment
(1) You may not assign your rights and obligations without the Platform's written consent.
(2) The Platform may assign them in the event of a reorganisation or a transfer of undertaking, on 30 days' notice and provided that the assignment does not diminish your rights. You have the right to terminate the contract without penalty before the date of the assignment.
Article 57. Severability
The invalidity of an individual clause does not entail the invalidity of the Terms as a whole.
Article 58. Language
The Terms have been drawn up in English. The English text is the only authentic and binding version of the Terms. The Platform provides a Bulgarian translation of the Terms for convenience. Neither that translation nor any other, including an automatic translation by your browser, has legal effect of its own; in the event of any discrepancy, the English text prevails. This Article does not derogate from the mandatory provisions of the law of the place where the Property is located or of the country of habitual residence of the Host, where the Host is a consumer.
Article 59. Entry into force
These Terms enter into force on [date] and supersede all previous versions. Archive: [link].
