Overview of BēKIN and Its Services:

BēKIN, accessible at www.bekin.io, is an innovative online platform specializing in vacation rentals. It serves as a digital marketplace where guests can explore and book a wide range of rental properties located in desirable vacation destinations. BēKIN aims to provide a seamless and user-friendly experience for both property owners (landlords) and guests (renters), facilitating the discovery, booking, and management of vacation rentals. The platform offers various tools and features to enhance the rental experience, including detailed property listings, a secure booking system, and dedicated customer support.

Acknowledgement of Retech LLC's Ownership of BēKIN:

BēKIN is a trademarked service owned and operated by Retech LLC, a company specializing in developing innovative technology solutions for the real estate industry. Retech LLC's expertise in technology and real estate ensures that BēKIN remains at the forefront of the vacation rental market, offering advanced features and functionalities. Users of BēKIN, including both landlords and guests, acknowledge Retech LLC's ownership and the proprietary nature of the platform and its content. Any use of the BēKIN platform and its services is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement, reflecting Retech LLC's policies and operational guidelines.

User's Agreement to Abide by the Terms of Service:

By accessing, browsing, or using the BēKIN platform and its services, users signify their unconditional agreement and acceptance of these Terms of Service. This agreement forms a legally binding contract between the user and Retech LLC, governing the use of the BēKIN website. Users must comply with all terms, conditions, policies, and notices contained or referenced herein. If a user does not agree to these Terms of Service in their entirety, they should not access or use the BēKIN platform.

Requirement for Users to be of Legal Age:

The services provided by BēKIN are intended solely for individuals who are 18 years of age or older. By using the BēKIN platform, users affirm that they are at least 18 years old and possess the legal capacity to enter into this agreement. Retech LLC does not knowingly collect, either online or offline, personal information from persons under the age of 18. If a user is under 18, they must not use or provide any information on this site or through any of its features, register on the site, make any bookings through the site, or provide any information about themselves to us.

Process and Requirements for Account Creation:

To access certain features of the BēKIN platform, users may be required to create an account. This involves providing basic personal information, such as name, email address, contact details, and creating a secure password. Users may also be asked to provide additional information relevant to their role as either a guest user or a landlord user. The accuracy and authenticity of this information are crucial, as it will be used for communication and transactional purposes. Users may also be asked to agree to additional terms specific to their role on the platform.

Account Responsibilities for Users:

Each user is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account information, including the password. Users are also accountable for all activities that occur under their account. It is the user's responsibility to notify Retech LLC immediately of any unauthorized use of their account or any other breach of security. Retech LLC will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from the user's failure to comply with this section. Users are advised to exercise caution when accessing their account from a public or shared computer so that others cannot view or record their password or personal information. Additionally, users should ensure that they log out from their account at the end of each session. Users may deactivate their account at any time through the platform's settings or by contacting BēKIN customer support.

Property Listing by Landlords:

Landlords interested in listing their properties on BēKIN must first create a user account. Once registered, landlords can submit detailed information about their rental properties, including location, property type, amenities, rental rates, availability dates, and high-quality photographs. It's essential for landlords to ensure that the information provided is accurate, up-to-date, and does not infringe on any third-party rights. Retech LLC reserves the right to review and approve listings before they go live on the website to ensure they meet quality and content guidelines.

Landlords acknowledge that all listing data submitted to the BēKIN website, including text, images, and any other content, becomes the property of Retech LLC. By submitting a listing, landlords grant Retech LLC a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use this data for any purpose related to the services of BēKIN and Retech LLC, including but not limited to, marketing, promotions, and development of new services.

Booking Process for Guests:

Guests looking to book a vacation rental on BēKIN can browse through the listings without needing an account. However, to submit a booking request or make a payment, guests must register for an account. The booking process involves selecting a property, reviewing the terms and conditions of the rental (including cancellation policies), and submitting a booking request with any necessary personal information and payment details.

Guests should be aware that submitting a booking request does not automatically confirm the booking. Confirmation is subject to the landlord's approval and availability of the property. Once the booking is confirmed by the landlord, guests will receive a confirmation email with details about the property and their stay.

Guests agree that any data or information they provide during the booking process, including personal information, becomes the property of Retech LLC. Retech LLC is entitled to use this information in accordance with its Privacy Policy and for the improvement of its services.

Data Ownership and Protection:

Retech LLC explicitly states that all data, including listing information, user profiles, booking details, and any communication exchanged on the platform, is the exclusive property of Retech LLC. Retech LLC reserves the right to use, modify, distribute, and store this data for its business purposes, including analytical, promotional, and service improvement activities.

Retech LLC is committed to safeguarding the privacy and security of user data. Users should refer to the Retech LLC Privacy Policy for details on data handling and privacy measures.

The terms also protect Retech LLC from potential claims of data ownership from other brokerages or third parties. It's clarified that by using the BēKIN platform, users relinquish any claim to the data they input or generate through the platform. This provision is crucial to prevent other entities from claiming rights over the data accumulated on BēKIN, ensuring Retech LLC's exclusive ownership and control over its valuable data assets.

Confirmation and Lease Execution:

An important aspect of the booking process on BēKIN is the understanding that a booking request does not equate to a confirmed booking. A booking is only confirmed once a lease agreement is fully executed by all parties involved – the guest(s), the landlord, and any other relevant parties.

Once the lease is executed, the terms of the booking become exclusively subject to the stipulations outlined in the lease agreement. This means that the conditions, rules, and obligations that govern the guest's stay at the property, including but not limited to payment terms, cancellation policies, and any landlord-specific rules, are dictated entirely by the lease agreement and supersede any prior understandings or agreements made during the booking process on BēKIN.

It is the responsibility of both the landlord and the guest to ensure they fully understand and agree to the terms of the lease before signing. Retech LLC encourages all users to read lease agreements carefully and seek clarification or legal advice if necessary, before finalizing the booking.

Guests and landlords should also be aware that Retech LLC is not a party to these lease agreements. While BēKIN facilitates the booking process and the initial interaction between landlords and guests, the lease agreement itself is a separate legal document that is directly between the landlord and the guest. Retech LLC does not assume responsibility for the content of these agreements or for ensuring compliance by either party.

By using the BēKIN platform, users acknowledge and agree to this process and understand that their rights and obligations regarding a specific booking are governed by the respective lease agreement. This clause ensures that all parties have a clear understanding of when a booking is considered confirmed and what documents govern their rental arrangement.

Real Estate Agent Involvement and Compliance:

In adherence to New York laws, all real estate-related activities conducted on the BēKIN platform, including the listing of properties and negotiations for bookings, are handled exclusively by licensed real estate agents. These agents are affiliated with our designated brokerage, ensuring that all interactions, transactions, and agreements made through the BēKIN platform are in full compliance with the legal and regulatory requirements of the real estate industry.

The involvement of licensed real estate agents in the booking process is a critical aspect that underpins the integrity and reliability of the service offered by BēKIN. This approach ensures that all listings, negotiations, and transactions are managed professionally and ethically, with adherence to the highest standards set forth by real estate law.

Landlords listing properties and guests making booking requests can be assured that they are engaging with qualified professionals who possess the requisite knowledge, skills, and authorization to conduct real estate transactions. These agents are responsible for facilitating the communication between landlords and guests, guiding both parties through the booking process, handling negotiations, and ensuring that all transactions are conducted transparently and legally.

This commitment to professional conduct and compliance with state laws is a cornerstone of BēKIN's service offering. It not only enhances the experience for both landlords and guests but also provides a layer of security and trust that all transactions are being handled by experts who are well-versed in the nuances of real estate law and practice in New York.

By using BēKIN, users agree to engage in real estate transactions that are brokered by licensed professionals, reinforcing the platform's adherence to legal standards and professional ethics. This clause serves to inform users that they are operating within a framework that respects and upholds the legal requirements of real estate transactions in New York.

Payment Processing through Stripe:

The BēKIN website integrates Stripe for processing all payment transactions. This ensures a secure, efficient, and reliable means of handling financial transactions. Once a payment is made by a guest for a booking request, the funds are processed through Stripe's robust payment system. After the approval and clearance of the payment by Stripe, the funds are then transferred into the designated broker's escrow account. This step is crucial in maintaining the integrity of financial transactions and ensuring that funds are appropriately allocated and safeguarded in compliance with real estate regulations.

Retech LLC’s Role in Fund Handling:

It's important to note that Retech LLC, as the owner and operator of the BēKIN website, does not hold any funds in its operating accounts, except for the Stripe merchant account that they manage. The role of Retech LLC in financial transactions is limited to facilitating the processing of payments through Stripe. This approach ensures clear delineation between the processing of payments and the actual holding and distribution of funds, which is handled by the designated broker’s escrow account.

Refunds for Reservation Holding Deposits:

The reservation holding deposit, submitted by guests to secure a booking, is refundable up until the point a lease agreement is signed by all parties involved. Until this time, guests may request a refund of their reservation holding deposit. Once a lease agreement is executed, the reservation holding deposit transitions to become part of the rent, and from this point forward, it is bound by the terms of the lease agreement.

Cancellation Policies:

Cancellations of booking requests can be made up until the lease agreement is signed. Guests have the flexibility to cancel their booking request during this period. However, after the lease is signed, the cancellation of a booking and any potential refunds will be governed by the specific terms outlined in the lease agreement. The lease agreement serves as the binding contract between the landlord and the guest, detailing the conditions under which a booking can be cancelled and the financial implications of such cancellations.

It's important for users of the BēKIN platform to understand that the lease agreement supersedes any preliminary arrangements or understandings once it is executed. Therefore, guests and landlords are advised to carefully review the terms of the lease, including the cancellation policy, to fully understand their rights and obligations in the event of a cancellation.

This section of the Terms of Service underscores the commitment of BēKIN to ensure transparent, fair, and legally compliant financial transactions. By using the BēKIN platform, users agree to these payment and financial transaction policies, ensuring clarity and understanding of the financial aspects of the booking and leasing process.

Purpose of Data Storage:

Users authorize Retech LLC to store their credit card and bank account information to facilitate rent payments, process refunds relating to bookings (including security deposit claims and refunds, utility deposit claims and refunds), and landlord payments for rent. Retech LLC acts solely as a payment platform, with all financial transactions conducted under the authority of the designated broker.

Data Security and Compliance:

Retech LLC commits to adhering to the highest standards of data security, in compliance with relevant regulations such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), and other applicable state and federal privacy laws. We implement robust security measures to protect against unauthorized access, disclosure, or theft of financial data.

User Consent and Disclosure:

By providing their financial information, users explicitly consent to its collection, storage, and use as described. Retech LLC provides clear disclosure regarding the handling of this data, including its use, storage, and protection measures.

Data Retention Period:

The financial information of users will be stored for a period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined above or until the user requests its deletion, whichever comes first. Retech LLC will not retain financial data longer than necessary and will ensure secure disposal of data when it is no longer needed.

User Rights and Control:

Users have the right to access, modify, or request the deletion of their stored financial data. Requests for deletion can be made by emailing info@retechsolutions.io. Retech LLC will promptly comply with such requests, subject to any legal or regulatory obligations to retain the data for a specified period.

Notification in Case of Data Breach:

In the unlikely event of a data breach involving financial information, Retech LLC will adhere to breach notification laws, promptly informing affected users and relevant authorities as required by law.

International Data Protection Compliance:

For users residing in jurisdictions with specific data protection laws, such as the European Union under GDPR, Retech LLC will ensure compliance with such regulations, providing additional protections and rights as required.

Review and Auditing:

Retech LLC regularly reviews and audits its data protection practices to ensure ongoing compliance with all applicable laws and to maintain the highest standards of data security and privacy.

Expectations for User Behavior:

Users of the BēKIN platform are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that is respectful, professional, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. This includes honesty in all communications, integrity in dealings, and respect for the rights and privacy of other users.

This includes, but is not limited to, unauthorized use of intellectual property, harassment or abuse of other users, posting false or misleading information, and any form of fraudulent activity. Users are also prohibited from exploiting the platform for commercial gain outside the intended purposes of the BēKIN website, particularly in relation to the data and listings available on the platform.

Protection of Retech LLC’s Rights and Data:

Retech LLC maintains full rights and ownership over all data and content available on the BēKIN platform. Users are not permitted to use this data for commercial purposes outside the scope of the platform without explicit permission from Retech LLC. This includes scraping, copying, or exploiting listing data for personal gain or for the benefit of third parties.

Co-Broke Agreement for Unauthorized Commercial Use:

In cases where a user, particularly a real estate agent or broker, is found to be commercially benefiting from the data shown on the BēKIN website without authorization, they agree to a 50/50 co-broke arrangement for the relevant listing with the designated brokerage associated with BēKIN. This co-broke arrangement applies to any rentals related to the exploited data for a period of 12 months following the detection of unauthorized use. This measure is put in place to protect the interests of Retech LLC and to ensure that the data and content of the BēKIN platform are used fairly and lawfully.

Enforcement and Penalties:

Retech LLC reserves the right to take appropriate action against any user found to be in violation of these terms, including, but not limited to, suspension or termination of access to the platform, legal action, and seeking financial restitution.

Notice Requirement for Formal Disputes:

Before initiating any formal legal proceedings, the aggrieved party must first send a written Notice of Dispute to the other party. This Notice should detail the nature of the claim or dispute and the requested relief. For disputes involving Retech LLC, Notices should be directed to the contact information provided in Section 11.7.

After the Notice is received, both parties should endeavor to resolve the claim or dispute informally within thirty (30) days. This period allows for dialogue and negotiation in good faith to reach an amicable solution.
