PRIVACY POLICY – ABOUT
Your Name and Information:
By accessing or using the Platform, or any service or tool provided on the Platform or otherwise, you acknowledge and agree to our Privacy Policy. We uphold strict privacy principles. You consent to our access and utilization of Content you have furnished in line with these Terms or our Privacy Policy, and we commit to disclosing your Member-contributed content only as per these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
When you provide your name, email address, or any other information, you consent to us sending you training, newsletters, announcements, promotional emails, offers, alerts, confirmations, surveys, and/or other general communication occasionally. However, you have the option to decline to receive promotional emails at any point. For more details on our email and other data collection practices, as well as how to opt out of receiving such emails, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Others’ Names and Information:
We have a zero-tolerance policy towards unsolicited commercial electronic communications or SPAM. Hence, you are strictly prohibited from adding a Member to your mailing list or email list or utilizing any tool or service on the Platform to send such communications without the explicit consent of the user, including those Members who have rented a Rental Property to you or from you on the Platform.
We have granted you a license to use other Members’ personal information (and you agree that other Members may use yours) in accordance with this clause. Such license is only valid as long as your account on the Platform is kept in good standing. You commit that you will not abuse your license and you will safeguard other Members’ personal information with at least a reasonable standard of care and judgment and you understand that you are solely liable for losing, mishandling, or divulging to any third party said information without the express written consent of the other Member.
You agree that this license shall be used solely for the purpose of facilitating a transaction, that is related to the purpose of the Platform, between you and the other Member; and non-SPAM messages. You will need explicit permission from the Member for any alternative use of such information. It is prohibited to utilize any such information for any unlawful purpose or with any unlawful intent.
Even if you have received permission from another Member to add them to your mailing list or email list, the law demands that you immediately remove the Member’s information from your database or elsewhere and also give them a chance to view what information you had about them.
REVIEWS BY HOSTS AND GUESTS
Hosts and Guests have an opportunity to leave a review for each other. This review process helps the other Member who was party to the transaction know which areas they are excelling in and which areas they could improve. Reviews also help prospective Guests get an idea of what to expect when booking a specific property, and prospective Hosts what to expect from a particular Guest. Because reviews are crucial to maintaining standards of excellence both in the quality of the Listing and the behavior and responsibility of the Host and Guest, your review must be accurate, detailed, and honest and may not contain any language that is offensive, defamatory, discriminatory, or otherwise violates these Terms, our Content and Copyright Policy, or relevant law. Unless brought to our attention, reviews are not verified by FlyInn for accuracy and may consequently be incorrect or misleading. Please contact us if you find that any review violates FlyInn’s Terms, policies, or the law.
SERVICE FEES AND HOW THEY ARE HANDLED
FlyInn charges Hosts and Guests a service fee when they use the Platform to complete a transaction. The service fee represents a percentage of the amount of your booking. For more information about the service fee, please visit our Service Fees Policy page.
The service fee is refunded only if the Guest qualifies for a full refund under the Host’s cancellation policy on the particular Listing that was booked.
Our Service Fees Policy may change. Be sure you have your current email registered with us as we will notify you of any upcoming changes to our service fees. Should we change a fee, it will not affect any booking you made before the date the change goes into effect.
You agree not to counsel other Members to avoid paying FlyInn’s service fee.
Any applicable fees are disclosed to Guests before making a booking. All Guests will be able to see a breakdown of the reservation amount before they check out. This includes the service fee; the cost of the rental; all other charges associated with your booking, including the ones you requested; and all applicable taxes and fees charged by the government.
The breakdown also shows the Guest all applicable Taxes. In some areas, the jurisdiction imposes a Value Added Tax (VAT) on bookings in addition to the service fee.
ALL MEMBERS ARE COMPLETELY AND SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HANDLING OF THEIR TAXES. FLYINN WILL REMIT ALL TAX COLLECTED ON THE HOST’S BEHALF TO THE HOST. PLEASE SEE OUR TAXES POLICY FOR MORE INFORMATION.
CREDIT CARD FEES AND BANK CARD FEES
Credit card companies could charge the User fees in addition to their customary processing fee. The User must review any agreement with their bank or credit card company regarding any fees.
LINKING POLICY
We use Google Maps on the Platform. Google Maps are subject to Google Maps’ terms of service.
This Platform may include links and references to other websites, applications, online resources, services, affiliates, partners, and sponsors. We provide these links and references solely for your information and convenience. Links to and from this website to third-party sites (maintained by them) do not imply our endorsement of those third parties, their websites, or their content. Additionally, we may offer tools for communication between this website and third-party sites, such as social media platforms. If you select a link to an outside website, you are leaving the Fly-Inn.com Platform and are subject to the terms, privacy, and security policies of the external website. We are not accountable for these third-party sites or their resources in any manner, and these Terms will not regulate your usage of such sites and resources.
Any links to external websites from Members’ pages are strictly prohibited and will be promptly removed without prior notice, at our sole discretion. Additionally, we reserve the right to impose penalty charges for hypertext links at any given time.
The use of hypertext links to other websites and URLs of other websites in Member’s pages and in our Squawks (blog section) is strictly prohibited. We reserve the right to remove links of any kind or URLs without prior notice and at our sole discretion.
ADDRESSING DAMAGE COMPLAINTS
First and foremost, Guests, be reminded you have agreed that by using the Platform to book a Rental Property in a Listing, you have agreed to take reasonable care of the property you rented and to follow your Hosts’ rules regarding their property which rules exist, among other things, to ensure their property is treated as they would treat it themselves, (not to mention ensure safety). Many Damage complaints can be avoided if you are conscientious and apply the Golden Rule. Remember that we are a tight-knit community of aviation enthusiasts. We understand responsibility for the lives and property of others. Let us extend the same care to the Listings we rent from our fellows.
Notwithstanding, should any Damage occur, you, the Guest, maintain that you will collaborate with both FlyInn and the Host in good faith doing whatever is reasonable and necessary to arrive at a timely and effective resolution including supplying any information and/or signing any documents requested by entities including but not limited to FlyInn, your insurance carrier, and/or local authorities.
If a Host complains that you, any of your guests, or any pets have caused any Damages, to a property that was booked on the Platform, the complaining Host can notify FlyInn and/or seek compensation by messaging you on our Platform.
Damages, herein referred to as “Damage” or “Damages” are defined as
- Any Damages the Guest has caused to any part of the property present in the Listing at the Guest’s time of arrival, whether that property be real or personal, and whether or not it be represented in photographs or text in the Listing.
- Any Damages resulting from the loss of booking income that is a direct result of the Damage caused under (1) above.
- Any extra cleaning costs the Host incurred as a result of the Guest’s stay.
The process proceeds as follows:
- The Host contacts the Guest through our messaging service and
- Amicably and professionally describes the damage that was caused
- Provides valid proof in photographs
- Submits receipts and/or copies of estimates of what it will cost to correct the Damages.
- The Guest has 24 hours to contact FlyInn to make a full payment.

This will hold even if you assert otherwise. You agree that we will own all rights to anything we create based on your suggestions or feedback.

HOW SEARCHES ARE PERFORMED
Hosts: When Hosts submit a Listing, they can set whatever parameters and criteria will most accurately describe their Rental Property. In addition to describing their Rental Property in their own words, they can choose from a multitude of different pre-set criteria to describe their Offerings in their Listing. The search criteria include an abundance of amenities, type of space, type of dwelling, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, price, etc.
Users: Once the Listing has been published, Users will search based on their destination, Listing type, arrival and departure dates, number of guests, etc.
Search results will display according to the criteria the Users used to conduct their search and the parameters they set. In addition, once their search results have been returned to them, they have the option of sorting their search results into the following methods of display: Default, Price (low to high), Price (High to low), Rating, Featured First, Date (old to new), Date (new to old).
Featured First displays the Listings of Hosts who paid an additional fee to have their property displayed in search results, the Home Page, or other places on the Platform. Spots are filled every Monday at 12:01 a.m. from a pool of Listings by Hosts who have previously submitted a method of payment for the service. Hosts are selected by lottery and their credit card is charged the moment they are selected and their property is featured on the Platform. The lottery is per property, not per Host.
If Users don’t select an alternative display method, the Platform defaults to the “Default” display method. The way those Listings appear is based on a wide range of determinants, directly or indirectly and they, include but are not limited to, the quality of the Rental Property; how long it takes for a Host to respond to an inquiry; the Listing’s price; how many hits the Listing receives; how many times the Listing has been viewed, loved, and saved; the quality of the Listing itself including the quantity and quality of photography; how long ago the Listing was posted on the Platform; calendar availability; minimum and maximum number of nights the Host allows; check-in and check-ot time; the number of positive reviews the Listing has received; the number of positive reviews the Host has received; the status the Host has earned on the Platform; the type of Offering the Host provides; how many bookings the Listing has received; how easy it is to book the Listing; and more.
Keep in mind:
- We cannot ensure the order in which your Listing will appear in search results on the Platform.
- Search results and order may differ in appearance from mobile app to website to map view.
- Depending on which search criteria different Users employ, the listing order may differ for each search, even if the search is conducted by the same User.
- In order for Members to better enjoy a more effective experience in searching, we reserve the right to optimize our Default results in order to enhance the experience of the entire community by using different search algorithms; and to run occasional tests on our optimization.
CHANGES TO THE PLATFORM
We reserve the right to make any change to the Platform, at any time and in our sole discretion.
CHANGES AND CANCELATIONS TO BOOKINGS
Changes: Hosts and Guests are responsible and liable for any changes to any booking they choose to make after the booking has been finalized (as evidenced by payment processed). The change can either be made on the Platform or called in for FlyInn’s customer service for a team member to make the change. In the event of a booking change, Hosts and Guests are responsible for paying any additional amounts applicable to them including a change in the Listing Price, and any fees or taxes associated.
Cancellations: Hosts and Guests should not cancel a booking without a valid reason to do so. Canceling reservations without a good reason undermines the integrity, cohesiveness, and trust in our Community. Please be sure of your reservation details before creating a booking.
If A Host Cancels A Booking: The amount we refund or pay the Guest, and all other reasonable costs we may incur due to the cancellation will be deducted from your disbursement amount.
If A Guest Cancels A Booking: If a Guest cancels a booking, any amount disbursed to the Host is based upon the cancellation policy set in the Listing. If a Guest receives a refund after you have already received a disbursement for the booking, or if the amount paid to the Guest is greater than your disbursement, FlyInn may deduct the amount from your future disbursements.
Additional: FlyInn’s Terms supersede the cancellation policy Hosts set in cases where Hosts permit the cancellation of a reservation and/or allow Guests to get a refund. To appeal, please send us an email at appeals@fly-inn.com, or contact us via the form on our Contact page, subject line “Appeals”. If we anticipate with good reason that we will be providing a refund to a guest in accordance with one of these policies, we may postpone any disbursement for that booking until a decision regarding the refund has been reached.

Do Guests or Hosts contract with FlyInn when they rent a property on the Platform? No. When a Host creates a booking for a Rental Property “Rental Property Booking” with and for you, you are entering into a contract with that Host.

Be sure you fully understand all of the aforementioned Terms before you book a Listing.
A Rental Property Booking is a limited license, and the licensee, the Guest, is granted permission to enter, occupy, and use all or part of the property on a non-exclusive basis, meaning the Host or others the Host chooses are also allowed to use the property at the same time. The Host agrees neither the Host nor others will enter the Space he has rented to you during the period of your Rental Property Booking, but reserves the right to do so, if reasonably necessary, or allowed by law pertaining to the Rental Property Booking, or allowed by your agreement with the Host.

INSURANCE FOR GUESTS

Members must show proof, upon our request, that they have acquired adequate insurance coverage before any booking can take place. Acquiring insurance is very quickly, efficiently and easily accomplished online from numerous insurance companies if you simply conduct a search for short-term rental insurance or traveler insurance. The amount of time it takes will in no way constitute a reason to be absolved of this obligation. Members further agree that they will keep their insurance in good standing throughout the entire booking period.
You are completely responsible and liable for your own acts and omissions and those of any guest you allow to access the Rental Property including all Common Areas.

This Arbitration Agreement (defined below) only applies to you if your country of residence or establishment is the United States. If your country of residence or establishment is not the United States, and you nevertheless attempt to bring any legal claim against FlyInn in the United States, this Arbitration Agreement will apply for determination of the threshold issue of whether this Arbitration Agreement Section 22 applies to you, and all other threshold determinations, including residency, arbitrability, venue, and applicable law.
MANDATORY PRE-ARBITRATION DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND NOTIFICATION
You agree to give us the opportunity to resolve any Dispute. by sending us an individualized notice of the Dispute in writing (“Pre-Dispute Notice”) at least 60 days prior to initiating arbitration, and attempting in good faith to negotiate an informal resolution of the individual claim.

If the parties can’t resolve the complaint within the 60-day period, only then may either party commence an arbitration proceeding by submitting a written request for arbitration to the designated arbitration provider mentioned in the Arbitration Rules and Governing Law Section.
Participating in this pre-arbitration dispute resolution and notification procedure is mandatory before initiating arbitration. The AAA cannot oversee or resolve the Dispute unless and until all “pre-arbitration dispute resolution and notification” criteria have been satisfied.

ARBITRATION RULES AND GOVERNING LAW
This Arbitration Agreement is a “written agreement to arbitrate” and evidences a transaction in interstate commerce. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs all substantive and procedural interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and not state law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) following the Selected Federal Rules and the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. If the AAA is unable or unwilling to administer the arbitration, you and FlyInn will consult and choose an alternative arbitration forum. If we fail to reach an agreement, then either you or FlyInn may request a court to appoint an arbitrator in accordance with 9 U.S.C. § 5. In such a scenario, the arbitration will adhere to the rules of the designated arbitration forum, unless those rules conflict with the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement.
ARBITRATION CONTROVERSY AMOUNT DETERMINES LOCATION
If the disputed amount is $1,000,000 or less, any necessary arbitration hearing will be conducted remotely via video conference unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties or directed by the arbitrator.
If the disputed amount is greater than $1,000,000, any necessary arbitration hearing will be held in Salt Lake County, Utah, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties or directed by the arbitrator.
If the disputed amount is less than or equal to $10,000, the parties consent to proceed solely through the submission of documents to the arbitrator.
ARBITRATION FEES AND COSTS
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, and where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. In order to initiate arbitration, each party will be responsible for paying the filing fees required by the AAA, To request a fee waiver, you can submit an affidavit under oath to the arbitration provider. This affidavit should include your total monthly income from all sources and the number of individuals in your household. The AAA primarily considers the federal poverty guidelines when approving fee waivers. If your gross monthly income falls below 300% of the federal poverty guidelines, you qualify for a waiver of arbitration fees and costs, except for arbitrator fees. If you successfully demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are financially unable to cover your share of the Arbitration Fees, or if the arbitrator decides for any reason that you shouldn’t be obligated to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, we will cover as much of your filing and hearing fees for the arbitration in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to ensure it remains financially feasible compared to litigation costs. This assistance will be provided regardless of the arbitration outcome unless the arbitrator finds that your claim(s) was frivolous or made in bad faith.
IMPROPER PURPOSE, BAD FAITH, FRIVOLOUS
Either party may make a request that the arbitrator impose sanctions, such as awarding attorneys’ fees and costs upon proving that the other party (or the other party’s counsel) has asserted a claim, cross-claim, or defense that is groundless in fact or law, brought in bad faith or for the purpose of harassment, or is otherwise frivolous, as allowed by applicable law and the AAA Rules.
ARBITRATOR’S DECISION
The arbitrator will issue a written decision which will include the essential findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator bases the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any relief allowed by law or the AAA Rules, but declaratory or injunctive relief may be awarded only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.
CLASS ACTIONS, REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS, JURY TRIALS
You and we acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all proceedings to resolve Claims will be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other manner of representative or consolidated proceeding.
To the full extent permitted by law, (1) the arbitrator shall not consolidate claims of different parties into one proceeding
and (2) shall not preside over any type of class or representative proceeding on behalf of the general public or any other persons unless agreed upon in writing or as stipulated in this agreement.
If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of the waiver contained in this paragraph as to any claim, cause of action, or requested remedy, then you and we agree that that claim, cause of action, or requested remedy, (and only that claim, cause of action, or requested remedy,) to the extent necessary must be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in a court of competent jurisdiction in the state or federal courts located in the State of Utah.
In the event that a claim, cause of action, or requested remedy is severed pursuant to this paragraph, then you and we agree that the claims, causes of action, or requested remedies that are not subject to arbitration will be stayed until all arbitrable claims, causes of action and requested remedies are resolved by the arbitrator.
JURY TRIAL WAIVER
You and FlyInn acknowledge and agree that both parties are each waiving the right to a jury trial concerning all arbitrable Disputes.
SMALL CLAIMS VS. ARBITRATION
You and we each reserve the right to bring, or remove, any claim in small claims court instead of arbitration.
if the claim falls within the jurisdictional limit of such court; provided that such court lacks the authority to consider any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other individuals or parties who may be similarly situated in such legal proceedings. If the claims asserted in any demand for arbitration do fall within the jurisdictional limit of such court, then either you or we may opt to have the claims adjudicated in small claims court instead of through arbitration, at any point before the arbitrator is appointed, or in accordance with the AAA rules, by informing the other party of that decision in writing.
OFFER OF JUDGMENT
Unless prohibited by applicable law, in any legal proceeding between you and FlyInn (whether in court or arbitration), at least fourteen (14) calendar days before the arbitration hearing’s date, either party (you or FlyInn) may serve an offer of judgment in writing upon the other party to allow judgment on specified terms. If the offer is accepted, the offer with proof of acceptance will be submitted to the arbitration provider, who shall enter judgment accordingly. If the offer is not accepted before the arbitration hearing or within 30 days after it is made, whichever occurs first, the offer shall be deemed withdrawn and cannot be submitted as evidence in the arbitration, except concerning costs (including all fees paid to the arbitration provider). If an offer made by one party is not accepted by the other party, and the other party fails to obtain a more favorable judgment or award, the other party shall not recover their post-offer costs and shall pay the offering party’s costs (including all fees paid to the arbitration provider/arbitral forum) incurred from the time of the offer.
SEVERABILITY AND SURVIVAL
If any portion of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable for any reason, (1) such provision will be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will be given full force and effect, (2) if any Claims must proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such Claims must be adjudicated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction rather than in arbitration, and the parties consent to litigation of those claims being stayed pending the outcome of any individual Claims in arbitration.
This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the Platform or terminate your FlyInn account.
