Terms of Service

Uniplaces provides an online marketplace for booking student accommodation. As such it provides booking services for both users (who are seeking accommodation) and accommodation providers (who wish to offer their accommodation to users). Please note that Uniplaces is an online marketplace – it does not itself let or rent accommodation to users directly.

At law, if you are a consumer, you have certain rights to cancel your agreement with Uniplaces to receive such booking services within a 14 day cooling off period following your agreement to these terms of service (please see clause 7 for further details of these rights).

However, by using our services to book (if you are a user) or accept a booking of (if you are an accommodation provider) accommodation during such cooling off period, you are requesting us to provide our services and, as a result, you will cease to have a right to cancel, under consumer law, from the time such booking is made (please see clause 7 for further details of this). You will still retain your contractual rights to cancel, which are set out in clause 11.

Further, if you are using our services to book accommodation, you are likely to be required to pay a 1st Rental Payment (as defined below) to your accommodation provider via Uniplaces (who will receive it on behalf of the accommodation provider and then send it onto them). This 1st Rental Payment is payable to your accommodation provider and therefore is only repayable in accordance with your contractual rights to cancel, which are set out in clause 11.

Please read this document carefully. It contains important information about your rights and obligations. In particular, it contains:

• a disclaimer of warranty and a limitation of liability (in clause 21), which together limit our responsibilities and liability to users and accommodation providers;
• a reimbursement clause under which users (in clause 12.9) agree to reimburse Uniplaces in certain circumstances;
• an indemnity clause (in clause 22) under which accommodation providers, which are businesses, will indemnify Uniplaces in certain circumstance.

You are advised to review these provisions carefully before proceeding.

If there is an inconsistency between any of the provisions of this English language version and a translated version, the provisions of this English language version shall prevail. Any translated versions of these Terms of Service and the Terms of Use shall be for convenience only.

3. What is the Website?

3.1 The Website is an electronic platform enabling Users to browse, search and book Accommodation at the Locations and enables Accommodation Providers to advertise Accommodation to Users. Bookings can be made for short or long terms ranging from 28 days upwards.

3.2 Uniplaces provides booking services to Users and Accommodation Providers, but it does not offer Accommodation to Users on its behalf. Any Tenancy Agreement shall be entered into between the User and the Accommodation Provider directly. Uniplaces will not be a party to such Tenancy Agreement and will have no rights or obligations arising out of it.

4. Information Displayed on the Website

4.1 The Website contains information, images and prices of Accommodation as well as information relating to the Location of the Accommodation.

4.2 Uniplaces tries hard to ensure that all information published on the Website is clear, accurate, complete and not misleading. We also try to ensure that only Accommodation that meets certain standards of cleanliness, decor, building safety and finish, facilities and customer service are listed on the Website. However, as we do not provide the Accommodation, we cannot guarantee this.

4.3 Uniplaces relies on Accommodation Providers to provide appropriate accurate information and to keep such information updated. We do not verify the accuracy or currency of any information uploaded or provided to us by Accommodation Providers unless we have expressly stated that we do. If you are an Accommodation Provider, you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the content of the information uploaded or provided to us in respect of any Accommodation offered on the Website.

4.4 If you are an Accommodation Provider, you must check the relevant listing information of any Accommodation offered by you on the Website including (but not limited to) its price, availability, and facilities before accepting any Booking Request sent to you via Uniplaces.

4.5 If you are a User, you acknowledge and agree that we will have no liability in respect of any information uploaded to the Website or provided to us by an Accommodation Provider about the Accommodation and that your proper remedy in respect of any loss or damage you may suffer arising out of or in connection with the written information displayed in respect of the Accommodation is against the relevant Accommodation Provider. If the Accommodation has been verified by Uniplaces, Uniplaces shall be responsible for the accuracy of the verified information only. However, Uniplaces shall not be liable for any changes to the Accommodation after its verification.

4.6 We reserve the right to remove without notice all or any part of any Accommodation listed on the Website in respect of which we receive a complaint (or otherwise conclude) that it is out of date, inaccurate or breaches the rights of a third party. We will use reasonable efforts to process and act on such complaints reasonably and promptly.

4.7 Users are advised to read any documentation carefully and ensure that they understand the cost of the Accommodation (i.e. the rent and any other costs) and the terms and duration of the Tenancy Agreement and any restrictions on the usage to which the Accommodation can be put. Photographs and videos of the Accommodation on the Website should be used by Users only as a guide of what the Accommodation may look like and not as an exact representation.

5. Booking Accommodation

5.1 Users are able to submit a Booking Request for Accommodation through the Website. The User must select the dates and Accommodation that he wishes to book and then click the “Request to Book” button.

5.2 The User warrants that he is of legal age to enter into a contract such as a Tenancy Agreement in the country where the Accommodation is located and acknowledges that, if the User is in breach of this warranty, then Uniplaces shall be entitled to retain any Service Fee that has been paid by the User as compensation for breach of this warranty by the User. It is the User’s responsibility to check that he can legally contract with the Accommodation Provider.

5.3 The User will be asked to provide payment details for the 1st Rental Payment, One-time Service Fee and Holding Deposit (if applicable) in respect of the Booking Request. After the Booking Request is accepted by the Accommodation Provider payment will be taken. If the payment is successful the User will receive an email confirming that the Booking was paid and confirmed.

5.4 Upon Payment of the Booking Request, the system creates an authorisation for the 1st Rental Payment, One-time Service Fee and Holding Deposit (if applicable), followed by drawing the funds. The User’s card will be charged in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and thereby giving rise to a confirmed booking.

5.5 After payment by the User, the booking is confirmed and Uniplaces makes an introduction of the User to the Accommodation Provider selected by the User.

6. Confirmation of a Booking

6.1 The Accommodation Provider can accept or reject the Booking Request. If the Booking Request is rejected, Uniplaces will promptly notify the User and will make reasonable efforts to suggest other suitable properties. If the Accommodation Provider accepts the Booking Request, payment will be taken in respect of the 1st Rental Payment, the One-time Service Fee and Holding Deposit (if applicable). After the payment is completed Uniplaces will promptly notify both parties setting out the next steps.

6.2 Once a booking has been confirmed, it is the User’s responsibility to:

(a) comply with any further requirements that the Accommodation Provider may have. This may include (but not be limited to) the provision of character references and/or guarantor information. This information can also be required by the Accommodation Provider before accepting the Booking Request, in such cases the User will be informed that such information will be required; and

(b) stay in the relevant Accommodation throughout the Term, comply with the Tenancy Agreement, and to make, promptly and in full, all payments to Uniplaces and to the Accommodation Provider as may be required by these Terms of Service or the Tenancy Agreement, as the case may be.

6.3 The Accommodation Provider agrees that once it accepts a Booking Request and the User pays a booking is confirmed, and so the Accommodation Provider is bound to offer the relevant Accommodation for the dates, and at the price stated on the Booking Request and, further, that the property details, condition and facilities of the Accommodation are not materially different from those stated on the Uniplaces listing. Failure to do so may result in complaints and cancellation by the User (who may be entitled to a full refund).

7. Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013

7.1 Subject to clauses 7.3 and 7.4, if you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel your agreement with us to provide the Services at any time during the 14 days after you have first accepted these Terms of Service in accordance with clause 2.

7.2 To cancel your agreement with us to provide the Services, you just need to let Uniplaces know that you have decided to cancel. You may use a copy of the form which is located at the back of these Terms of Service as a Schedule to do so. If you use this method, Uniplaces will e-mail you to confirm it has received your cancellation.

7.3 If you make or accept a Booking Request within the 14 day cancellation period set out above, then you have requested Uniplaces to provide its Services during such 14 day cancellation period and accordingly you will lose your statutory right to cancel your agreement with Uniplaces to provide the Services once the Booking Request is accepted in accordance with clause 6, at which point the One-time Service Fee (if applicable) will be payable in accordance with these Terms of Service. Your contractual rights to cancel, as set out in clause 11, will still apply.

7.4 In any event, cancellation of the agreement with Uniplaces to provide the Services shall have no effect on any Tenancy Agreement that may have been or will be entered into.

7.5 Any payment that is paid by the User to Uniplaces on behalf of the Accommodation Provider under, or in connection with, a Tenancy Agreement (including the 1st Rental Payment) will be held on trust by Uniplaces for the Accommodation Provider and will only be repaid to the User in accordance with clause 11.

8. The 1st Rental Payment

8.1 The 1st Rental Payment is a contractual reservation fee payable by the User to Uniplaces, which will receive it on behalf of the Accommodation Provider and hold it on trust for the Accommodation Provider.

8.2 Within two Business Days of the Move In Date, unless otherwise agreed in writing with Uniplaces, Uniplaces shall pay to the Accommodation Provider, subject to deductions for the Uniplaces Commission, the 1st Rental Payment and Holding Deposit (if applicable).

9. Tenancy Agreement

9.3 Uniplaces shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or deficiency in performance of any contract by the User, including, but not limited to, changes in Move In Date and/or move-out dates. The Accommodation Provider has the mechanisms to enforce any pre-agreed details (including Move In Date and move-out dates) with the User and thus, no additional payment or refund shall be or ever become due from Uniplaces to the Accommodation Provider.

10. Move in Date

On the date set out in the relevant Booking Confirmation, the User will move into the Accommodation. All Future Payments will be made directly to the Accommodation Provider. The listing for the Accommodation sets out what the Future Payments constitute. For any further clarification, the user should contact the Accommodation Provider.

(x) indien de Gebruiker de Accommodatie niet langer bewoont, of een boeking of Huurovereenkomst annuleert of opzegt, indien de Gebruiker binnen 24 uur na het begin van de Ingangsdatum een klacht over de staat van de Accommodatie bij Uniplaces heeft ingediend.

12.6 Er is geen bedrag verschuldigd volgens deze clausule als de gebruiker of de aanbieder van de accommodatie Uniplaces op enig moment opzettelijk onjuiste informatie heeft verstrekt.

12.7 Er is geen bedrag verschuldigd krachtens dit artikel indien de Gebruiker de Accommodatie niet betrekt op, of kort na, de Ingangsdatum (een "no show").

12.9 De gebruiker erkent dat de omboekservice (en de bijbehorende verplichtingen van Uniplaces volgens dit artikel 12) bedoeld zijn om de Accommodatieverstrekker zekerheid te geven dat de Accommodatie voor de duur van de betreffende Termijn bezet zal zijn:

(a) dientengevolge ontslaat dit artikel 12 de gebruiker niet van het nakomen van zijn verplichtingen onder deze voorwaarden of enige huurovereenkomst die met de Accommodatieverstrekker is aangegaan, en de gebruiker zal Uniplaces alle bedragen terugbetalen die door Uniplaces onder of in verband met dit artikel 12 aan een Accommodatieverstrekker zijn betaald als gevolg van het feit dat de gebruiker niet langer permanent een Accommodatie bewoont (of beweert niet langer permanent een Accommodatie te bewonen) tijdens de Termijn;

(b) als Uniplaces betalingen doet of betaling wordt geëist van Uniplaces krachtens dit artikel 12, zal de Gebruiker onmiddellijk op schriftelijk verzoek van Uniplaces een bedrag (in de desbetreffende valuta) betalen dat gelijk is aan het volledige bedrag van een dergelijk verzoek; en

(c) een certificaat van Uniplaces met betrekking tot het bedrag van een dergelijke betaling vormt een afdoend bewijs (behalve in het geval van fraude) dat een dergelijke betaling is gedaan door of geëist van Uniplaces en dienovereenkomstig verschuldigd is door de Gebruiker in overeenstemming met dit artikel 12. Alle betalingen door de Gebruiker moeten aan Uniplaces worden gedaan zonder enige aftrek, verrekening of inhouding.

12.10 GESCHIKTHEID

Uniplaces Huurgarantie wordt gratis aangeboden voor alle boekingen die via Uniplaces worden gedaan tijdens de "Exclusiviteitsperiode" van een accommodatie bij Uniplaces. De Exclusiviteitsperiode van een bepaalde aanbieding kan door de Accommodatieverstrekker worden geactiveerd op het dashboard van de aanbiedingen, door een van de drie pakketten te selecteren waarmee de Uniplaces Huurgarantie wordt ontgrendeld:

i) Essentieel pakket, waarbij de Accommodatieverstrekker zich verplicht tot een Exclusiviteitsperiode die begint op de activeringsdatum van het pakket en duurt tot 30 dagen voor de volgende beschikbaarheidsdatum van de aanbieding, met een minimum van 30 dagen Exclusiviteitsperiode

ii) Uniek pakket, waarbij de Accommodatieverstrekker zich verbindt tot een Exclusiviteitsperiode die ingaat op de activeringsdatum van het pakket en duurt tot de beëindigingsperiode van het pakket (na uitschrijving door de Accommodatieverstrekker zoals artikel 12.13), met een minimum van 30 dagen Exclusiviteitsperiode.

iii) Premiumpakket, waarbij de Accommodatieverstrekker zich verbindt tot een Exclusiviteitsperiode die ingaat op de activeringsdatum van het pakket en duurt tot de beëindigingsperiode van het pakket (na de afmelding door de Accommodatieverstrekker zoals clausule 12.13), met een minimum van 30 dagen Exclusiviteitsperiode.

Zowel het Unique als het Premium pakket bieden extra voordelen naast de Uniplaces Huurgarantie.

Als de accommodatieverschaffer de boeking buiten de exclusiviteitsperiode accepteert, komt deze niet in aanmerking voor de gratis Uniplaces Huurgarantie.

12.11 EXCLUSIVITEITSPERIODE

De Exclusiviteitsperiode is alleen van toepassing op aanbiedingen waarbij het Essentieel Pakket, Uniek Pakket of Premium Pakket geactiveerd is. 

De exclusiviteitsperiode is de periode waarin de Accommodatieverstrekker ermee instemt dat hij op geen enkel moment

i) een van de geselecteerde aanbiedingen op een andere manier dan via het platform van Uniplaces op de markt brengen of proberen te brengen;

ii) een andere huurovereenkomst aangaan of proberen af te sluiten dan met een Gebruiker die via het Platform van Uniplaces is verkregen, met betrekking tot een bezetting van de geselecteerde aanbiedingen tijdens de beschikbaarheidsperiode die tijdens de Exclusiviteitsperiode op het Platform van Uniplaces is aangekondigd; en

iii) iemand toestaan om een van de geselecteerde aanbiedingen te bezetten, anders dan door middel van een Boeking via het Uniplaces-platform, tijdens de beschikbaarheidsperiode die wordt aangekondigd op het Uniplaces-platform tijdens de Exclusiviteitsperiode.

12.12 SCHENDING VAN DE EXCLUSIVITEITSPERIODE

In het geval van overtreding van clausule 12.11 door de Accommodatieverstrekker moet de Accommodatieverstrekker aan Uniplaces een boete voor overtreding van de exclusiviteit betalen die gelijk is aan één maand huur als voor de advertentie een Essentieel pakket actief is, of twee maanden huur als voor de advertentie een Uniek of Premium-pakket actief is. De huurprijs die gebruikt wordt om de boete voor het schenden van de exclusiviteit te berekenen, is de huurprijs die in de advertentie vermeld staat op het moment dat het Essentiële, Unieke of Premium Pakket geactiveerd is, of de laatste bevestigde boeking van de advertentie op het Uniplaces Platform, afhankelijk van welke boeking het meest recent is.

12.13 Het abonnement op een van de Essentiële, Unieke of Premium Pakketten kan op elk moment door beide partijen worden beëindigd via het Accommodatieverstrekkersdashboard in het Uniplaces Platform met een opzegtermijn van minimaal 90 dagen.

13. Uniplaces’ Selection Programme

13.1 Uniplaces are willing to offer some Accommodation Providers the opportunity to join its Selection Programme. In order for an Accommodation Provider to receive the benefit of the Selection Programme, Uniplaces will need to agree to provide such a service to the Accommodation Provider which Uniplaces will communicate via a Selection Programme Email and the Accommodation Provider will need to agree to be a member of the Selection Programme within 4 days of the date of such Selection Programme Email, subject to these Terms of Service including this clause 13, by clicking the relevant “accept” button on the Accommodation Provider’s dashboard or the landing page on the Website. If the Accommodation Provider does not do this, or Uniplaces withdraws its offer before the Accommodation Provider accepts, this clause 13 shall not apply.

13.2 The Accommodation Provider’s membership of the Selection Programme will take effect from the date the Accommodation Provider accepts Uniplaces’ offer and ends on the Selection Programme End Date. For the duration of the Selection Programme:

(a) the Accommodation Provider will not market, advertise or accept any bookings through any other channel than the Website in respect of the Accommodation for the Blocked Period;

(b) Uniplaces will be able to accept a booking for the Accommodation that involves any period during the Blocked Period, including a booking that concludes after the expiry of the Blocked Period, and the Uniplaces Commission shall be calculated on the basis of the entire Booking Value of such booking;

(c) Uniplaces will have sole control over the acceptance and rejection of all Booking Requests made in respect of the Accommodation for the Blocked Period provided that the Accommodation Provider’s house rules (stated on the Website at the time of the Booking Request) are satisfied; and

(d) if the Accommodation Provider notifies Uniplaces of its desire to withdraw from the Selection Programme or cancels a booking accepted during the Selection Programme, then on request, the Accommodation Provider shall pay Uniplaces a sum equal to the Uniplaces Commission that would have been payable if a booking had been accepted during the Selection Programme for the entire Blocked Period and the Accommodation Provider’s membership of the Selection Programme shall be cancelled and the Blocked Period shall no longer apply.

(e) The Accommodation Provider allows Uniplaces, unilaterally, to change the indicated rent price (increasing or decreasing) of the exclusive property. However, if the Landlord becomes eligible, this should not affect the initially agreed Selection Programme Compensation;

(f) If the tenant cancels a booking before the move-in date (according to Uniplaces terms), Uniplaces shall hold the already received funds (deducted from any refund under the Cancelation policy), maintaining the commitment to pay the Compensation of the Selection Program, in case the circumstances established in clause 13.4 are verified;

(g) The Accommodation Provider must provide Uniplaces with an invoice, at the end of the selection programme, referring to the amount correspondent to the compensation, if the conditions for this transfer to happen are gathered. Uniplaces shall pay the amount invoiced within 30 days from receiving the respective invoice.

13.3 The Accommodation Provider shall ensure that all sums charged in relation to the Accommodation during the Blocked Period are the same as those listed on the Website at the time the Selection Programme Email was sent by Uniplaces.

13.4 Uniplaces shall pay the Accommodation Provider the Selection Programme Compensation within 15 days of the Selection Programme End Date if:

(a) no Booking Requests are accepted during the Selection Programme;

(b) all Booking Requests that are accepted during the Selection Programme are subsequently cancelled by the User; or

(c) Uniplaces cancels the Accommodation Provider’s membership of the Selection Programme, and in which case, the Compensation Sum may be reduced in accordance with clause 13.6.

(d) a Booking request is accepted during the Selection Programme, however the value of the rent obtained by the landlord in the first month of the Blocked period is less than the value of one month’s rent of the Accommodation (based on single occupancy and the rental price on the Website at the time Uniplaces sent the Selection Programme email).

13.5 In all circumstances not set out at clause 13.4, and if the User or the Accommodation Provider has (at any time) knowingly provided false information to Uniplaces or failed to correct the relevant listing information, the Selection Programme Compensation will not be paid.

13.6 Uniplaces will have the right to cancel the Accommodation Provider’s membership of the Selection Programme at any time. Should Uniplaces do so, Uniplaces may pay the Accommodation Provider a reduced Selection Programme Compensation in line with the “moderate” cancellation policy set out at clause 11.3 (c) . In this circumstance, the ‘Selection Programme End Date’ will be applied as the ‘Move In Date’. For example, 45 days prior to the Selection Programme End Date, Uniplaces would be able to terminate and only pay the Accommodation Provider 50% of the Selection Programme Compensation.

13.7 All Booking Requests that are accepted during the Selection Programme (unless clause 13.4(b) applies), shall be treated like any other Booking Confirmed in accordance with these Terms of Service, and Uniplaces Commission shall be paid accordingly.

13.8 A “moderate” cancellation policy, as set out at clause 11.3 (c), shall be applied to all bookings accepted during the Selection Programme.

13.9 The Accommodation Provider agrees to meet the User at the Accommodation (or to arrange for an appropriate person to meet the User at the Accommodation) on the date and time that the User requests to move into the Accommodation.

13.10 During the Blocked Period, the Accommodation Provider shall not:

(a) move a User from the Accommodation to another property which is owned or managed by the Accommodation Provider (or any person or entity directly or indirectly connected to the Accommodation Provider) without the express consent of Uniplaces and the User;

(b) advertise, market, or accept a booking on, another rental property of a similar type to that of the Accommodation which the Accommodation Provider owns or controls for a lower rental price than that of the Accommodation, without the prior written consent of Uniplaces, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or

(c) enter into any joint action, arrangement or agreement with a User that was made or entered into with the intent of enabling the Accommodation Provider to benefit, unjustly, from the Selection Programme.

13.11 The Accommodation Provider shall not allow the cancellation of a paid booking relating to the Accommodation without the written consent of Uniplaces. For the avoidance of doubt if the Accommodation Provider agrees to refund a User despite the User not being entitled to a refund under the “moderate” cancellation policy, then no Selection Programme Compensation payment will be payable.

13.12 The Accommodation Provider must notify Uniplaces immediately of any complaint received from a User in respect of the Accommodation.

13.13 Uniplaces shall be entitled, at any time and without notice, to inspect or permit a third party to inspect any Accommodation to which this clause 13 applies.

13.14 The Accommodation Provider agrees that by clicking the “accept” button on the Accommodation Provider’s dashboard or landing page on the Website, it has electronically signed these Terms of Service and in particular, this clause 13, and therefore:

(a) the Accommodation Provider shall be integrally bound to this clause 13 by means of such electronic signature; and

(b) the electronic signature will be considered as proof of the authorship and integrity of this clause 13, granting it evidentiary value.

13.15 Uniplaces reserves the right to cancel the Accommodation Providers Membership of the Uniplaces’ Selection Programme within 15 days of the date the Accommodation Provider accepts Uniplaces’ offer to join the Selection Programme. In this situation no Selection Programme compensation shall be payable.

14. Your Conduct
