We place accessibility above ownership ensuring the optimal use of existing space in and around properties in order to add comfort to our Users’ lifestyle. Our dynamic approach towards property enables a property-usage model that allows anyone to live big and spend small. Maintaining this circular interpretation of property, we wish to empower our Users (both hosts and guests) as prolong property lifecycles, improving sustainability and personal growth of our Users.

·       User(s): any natural person who is 18 years or older, any legal entity or any partnership that uses the Cocom App, whether as host (i.e. users that publish and offer the accommodations, hereinafter “Host”) or guest (i.e. users that search for, book or use the accommodations, hereinafter “Guest”).

3.                  The role of Cocom – Connecting Communities 

 

3.1.           Cocom, through its Cocom App, offers a platform that enables Users to publish, offer, search for, and book accommodations. Cocom does not own, control, offer, lease or manage any of the accommodations. Cocom is not a real estate broker, syndic, lessor, lessee, property manager, insurer or an organiser or retailer of travel packages.

3.2.          In pursuing its Mission, Cocom is a facilitator bringing communities together. When the Users make or accept a booking, they are entering into a contract directly with each other. Cocom, as facilitator, is not and does not become a party to any contractual relationship between the Users.

3.3.         Cocom links its Users all with a view to promoting its Mission, but it does not and cannot control the performance and behaviour of its Users. Therefore, Cocom does not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, safety, facilities, suitability, or legality of any accommodations or (ii) the correctness of any accommodations, reviews, identity details or other information published by its Users.

3.4.         Cocom cherishes its community. Therefore, although its Users accept and acknowledge that Cocom has no obligation to monitor or supervise its Users or their use of the Cocom App, Cocom has the right to review the accounts and publications of its Users (at its own initiative or further to complaints).

3.5.         To safeguard the integrity of its community, Cocom may – at its sole discretion and without prior notice - review all publications on the Cocom App, including but not limited in the following situations: (i) to operate, modify, update, secure and/or improve the Cocom App; (ii) to monitor compliance with these GTC; (iii) to comply with applicable local laws or the order or requirement of a court or administrative authority; (iv) to take all actions set out in the GTC or any of its Cocom Policies; and (v) to ensure quality of the Cocom App.

3.6.         Cocom may - at its sole discretion and without any prior notice or warning – amend, remove or disable information published on the Cocom App by its Users. Cocom may also - at its sole discretion and without any prior notice or warning – (temporarily or permanently) suspend, remove and/or block Users from all access to the Cocom App, without any indemnity being due to such suspended, removed and/or blocked User (even if such action leads to the cancellation of reservations or a Contract for Use). Cocom shall use its best endeavours to inform its User whenever measures are implemented against such User, but Cocom is not obligated to provide such information prior to the implementation of any measures.

3.7.          Any User (whether Host or Guest) is responsible for complying with all laws, regulations, rules, court or administrative orders and/or instructions and/or contracts that (could) apply to it when using the Services. Cocom does not take any responsibility for non-compliance of its Users with all such laws, regulations, rules, court or administrative orders and/or instructions and/or contracts, and the Users hereby agree to release Cocom from any such responsibility and waive any and all claims, as the case may be. Users agree to hold Cocom harmless against any (third party) claims as a result of their non-compliance with  laws, regulations, rules, court or administrative orders and/or instructions and/or contracts.

4.                  Registration of Users and use of the application

 

4.1.           Registration. All Users must register an account to access and use the Cocom App and its Services. All Users undertake to provide accurate, current and complete information during the entire registration process, and keep their account information up to date and accurate at all times. Cocom may but has no obligation to (i) ask you to provide identification or other information, (ii) undertake checks to verify your identity, and (iii) screen you against public or third-party databases or other sources and request reports from service providers.

4.2.         Confidentiality of credentials – security breach on the User’s side. All Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of their account credentials. A User must immediately notify Cocom if it suspects that its credentials have been lost, stolen, or its account is compromised. It is important to note that a User is responsible and liable for all activities conducted through its Cocom App account. Cocom will not be liable for any loss or damages of any kind that may arise as a result of a third party using a User’s Cocom account or login information, either with or without the relevant User’s consent, unless the use is a consequence of a material failure by Cocom to perform on its obligations. Within the same limitations, Users may be held liable for any losses incurred by Cocom or another party due to someone else using the above. It is therefore of the utmost importance to notify Cocom of any security breach, so that appropriate measures can be taken in a timely manner.

4.3.         Use of the Cocom App. All Users must use the Cocom App in accordance with the GTC and Cocom Policies. In order to access and use the Cocom App, Users may be required to have certain compatible hardware and software, which is their sole responsibility. Periodic updates may also be required. The use of the Cocom App may be affected by the functioning of all these elements which are not under the control of Cocom. Users acknowledge and agree to use the Cocom App at their own risk, with due care and diligence and subject to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

All users warrant that the information published on the Cocom App or it servers (e.g. by e-mail or via the Cocom App) will not be unlawful or otherwise inappropriate for disclosure. If and where applicable, Users will ensure a proper functioning of their hardware, will scan and remove viruses or other contaminating or destructive elements before transmitting information to Cocom’s servers.

No User may use the Cocom App to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, distribute, publish, or exploit for any private or commercial purpose the software (including, without limitation, the Cocom App), content or Services provided by Cocom or obtained through the Cocom App without obtaining Cocom’s prior written consent. This restriction includes any attempt to incorporate any information from the Cocom App into any other directory, product or service.

4.4.         Rules of usage of the Cocom App. Users subscribe to the Mission of Cocom, and will always act with integrity and respect for other Users. Users will honor their commitments and obligations vis-à-vis other Users (e.g. not cancel on Contracts of Use without  having a valid reason), Cocom (e.g. use the Cocom App in accordance with the GTC and Cocom Policies and respect the Intellectual Property of Cocom), and their proper community (e.g. local legislation, community-rules, house rules, etc).

4.5.         Reviews. All Users are able to review each other and the accommodations. Whenever publishing a review, the User undertakes to be as accurate and truthful as possible, and to refrain from profanity, offensive, discriminatory, or other language that might infringe the integrity of our Users and/or community. Cocom has no obligation to supervise the reviews, but may remove reviews – at its sole discretion and without prior notice.

5.                  The Services: Guests

 

5.1.           General. Guests are responsible for their own acts and omissions and for the acts and omissions of their invitees to the accommodation booked via the Cocom App. A Guest undertakes to act diligently, preserve the integrity of the Host and accommodation, abide by the house rules of a Host, respect the rights of the Host with respect to the accommodation and leave the accommodation in the same condition as found when the Guest entered the accommodation.

5.2.          Booking. Whenever interested in an accommodation, the Guest will need to check the availability of and issue a reservation request for said accommodation to the Host through the Cocom App. Prior to formally placing a reservation, the Guest is able to review and agree to the Host’s house rules, the Cocom Payment Policy, the Cocom Cancellation and Refund Policy, and all charges related to this booking. The charges of a booking includes the rent price, applicable fees, taxes and any other items identified during checkout (hereinafter the “Total Price”). Cocom may charge and collect any security deposit identified during checkout. The Host reviews all booking requests, and when accepted the Guest will be invited to pay the Total Price.  As long as the Guest has not paid for the booking, the Host is free to let the accommodation to any other Guest. Only when a payment confirmation is received a contract is formed between the Guest and the Host (hereinafter a “Contract for Use”). The Cocom Cancellation and Refund Policy and any other rules, standards, policies, or requirements identified in the accommodation listing or during checkout form part of the Contract for Use with the Host.

5.3.         Contract for Use.  Whenever a Contract for Use is concluded between a Guest and a Host, such contract allows the Guest to enter, occupy and use the accommodation. The Host retains the right to re-enter the accommodation during the Guest’s stay, if reasonably necessary and consistent with applicable law. Cocom is allowed to charge reasonable overstay penalties (to the Host and/or the Guest, as appropriate).

5.4.         Modification of the bookings. Hosts and Guests are responsible for any booking modifications they agree to make via the Cocom App, and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees or taxes associated with any such modification.

5.5.         Cancellation and Refund. If the Guest cancels a reservation, the amount refunded (if any) is determined by the Cancellation and Refund Policy that applies to the Contract for Use. Cocom’s Cancellation and Refund Policy is available at www.cocom.be.  If the Host cancels the booking, the Guest may be entitled to rebooking or a partial or full refund under the Cancellation and Refund Policy.

6.                  The Services: Hosts

 

6.1.           General. Hosts are responsible for their own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone they allow to participate in providing the Services. The Hosts are responsible for setting the Total Price, which is an all-inclusive rent price (with all costs and expenses reasonably disclosed) and establishing house rules and requirements for the accommodation. The Host must describe any and all fees and charges in the accommodation description and may not collect any additional fees or charges outside the Cocom App. Cocom will permanently ban Hosts who use the Cocom App but receive additional payments offline for the Services. Hosts are forbidden to encourage Guests to take other actions outside the Cocom App in violation of these GTC and policies.

6.2.          Contracting with Guests. When the Host accepts a booking request and receives subsequent payment by the Guest it enters into a contract directly with the Guest (the Contract of Use, as defined above). The Host is then responsible for delivering the Services under the terms and at the price specified in the accommodation publication. The Host also agrees to pay applicable fees and applicable taxes for each booking.

6.3.         Cocom Fees. For each booking, Cocom will charge 15% (VAT inclusive) of the Total Price, as defined above, and this amount will be deducted from your pay-out (the “Cocom Fee”). The Cocom Fee is non-refundable, and Cocom preserves its right to modify the Cocom Fee at any time after having given proper notice to its Hosts. Any terms or conditions that the Host agrees upon with the Guest must be consistent with the GTC, the Cocom Policies, and the information provided in the accommodation description. Such terms or conditions must be clearly and prominently disclosed in the accommodation description.

6.4.         The accommodation. The accommodation published by the Host must include complete and accurate information about the accommodation, the all-inclusive price (in other words, other charges like cleaning fees, should be included in the listed price), and any house rules or requirements that apply to the Guests. The Host is responsible for any acts and omissions as well as for keeping the accommodation information (calendar, pictures, etc.) up-to-date and accurate, at all times. The Host should obtain consent (if and where required) and adequate insurance for the provision of Services.

6.5.         Advertisement and promotion of accommodations. Cocom may promote certain accommodations. For advertisements and the promotion of accommodations, please contact info@cocom.be.

6.6.         Local regulations and legislation. The Host is responsible for understanding and complying with any (tax) laws, rules, regulations and contracts with third parties that apply to the accommodation and provision of Services (including but not limited to restrictions or prohibitions that apply to subletting, short-term rental, obtaining permits and/or licenses, registering Guests, processing personal data, etc).

6.7.          Cancellations and Refund. If a Guest cancels a reservation, the amount paid to the Host is determined by the Cancellation and Refund Policy that applies to that reservation. Cocom’s Cancellation and Refund Policy is available at www.cocom.be. A Host should not cancel on a Guest without a valid reason. If the Host cancels on a Guest without a valid reason, Cocom reserves the right to impose a cancellation penalty and other consequences. If the Guest has a right to a refund, the amount the Host receives will be reduced by the amount Cocom refunds or otherwise provides to the Guest, and by any other reasonable costs Cocom incurs as a result of the cancellation. If a Guest receives a refund after the Host has already been paid, or the amount of the refund and other costs incurred by Cocom exceeds the Host’s pay-out, Cocom (via its payment processor Stripe) may recover that amount from the Host, including by way of rerouting payments or offsetting the refund against future pay-outs. These GTC and the Cocom policies pre-empt the cancellation policy, if any, of the Host.

6.8.         Modifications of the bookings. Hosts and Guests are responsible for any booking modifications they agree to make via the Cocom App, and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees or taxes associated with any such modification.

6.9.         Taxes. The Host is responsible for determining and fulfilling its obligations under applicable laws to report, collect, remit or include in your price any applicable VAT or other indirect taxes, occupancy taxes, tourist, income or other taxes ("Taxes"). If and when tax regulations require Cocom to collect and/or report Tax information about the Host, Cocom is authorised to do so.

6.10.    Representatives of Hosts that are companies, organisations, partnerships, etc. The individual that registers on behalf of, or as part of a business or organisation, is considered the Host and individually responsible and liable for the provision of the Services. Whenever such individual offers the Services and confirms bookings via the Cocom App, such individual represents and warrants to have authority to represent the business or organisation, and enter into a Contract of Use on the business or organisation’s behalf.

7.                   Term and termination

Cocom may terminate the Agreement at any time by giving thirty days’ notice via e-mail.
