These Terms are a legally binding agreement between you and VENM Inc. Please read them carefully. By using our Platform, you represent that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement. If you are using the Platform on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to these Terms.

Listing and Rental Process
Hosts are solely responsible for creating and managing their listings on our Platform. By creating a listing, Hosts represent and warrant that they have the right to list the kayaks, cabins, lakefront properties, or water experiences for rent and that their listings comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Hosts must provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information about their rentals, including but not limited to descriptions, availability, pricing, and any rules or restrictions.
When a Renter books a listing, a rental agreement is formed directly between the Host and the Renter. VENM Inc. is not a party to this agreement and disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such rental agreements. Hosts and Renters are solely responsible for fulfilling their respective obligations under these agreements.
Hosts set their own rental prices. VENM Inc. charges a service fee of 14% to Hosts and 3% to Renters for each completed transaction. These fees cover the cost of operating the Platform and providing customer support. All payments are processed through our Platform, and we remit the appropriate amount to the Host after deducting our service fee.
Cancellation policies are set by Hosts and should be clearly stated in their listings. VENM Inc. reserves the right to mediate disputes between Hosts and Renters regarding cancellations and refunds but is not obligated to do so. Any refunds issued are at the discretion of the Host or VENM Inc. and will be processed through our Platform.
