SERVICES
FractionalExchange.com serves only as a website allowing members and other users to post or publish listings of properties available for exchange purposes. FractionalExchange.com does not own any property on the Site and is not involved in the actual transactions between the property owner and any guests. FractionalExchange.com relies entirely on the integrity and responsibility of the individual listing parties (members) and does not verify the existence, suitability, accuracy or content of any property and/or listing. FractionalExchange.com does not guarantee the satisfactory consummation of an exchange of any kind and furthermore, is not responsible for the actions of members and disclaims any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, content or availability of information accessed or linked to through use of this service. You take sole responsibility for any and all agreements reached through use of the Site, as FractionalExchange.com is not involved in and therefore takes no responsibility for the same.
MEMBERSHIP
FractionalExchange.com is a home exchange website which is a portal or an online 'meeting place' through which members can view other member's listings, and contact other members for an exchange or rental. As such, FractionalExchange.com is not involved in any way in the actual exchange or rental transaction, and has no control over the truth or accuracy of the listings, nor do we make any representation as to the ability of members to meet their obligations. By becoming a member of FractionalExchange.com, you agree that you bear all responsibility for due diligence as to the other party, its offered real estate or personal property, for making and effectuating the arrangements, and for any outcome thereof. You are strongly urged to research and are wholly responsible for ensuring the accuracy of a potential exchange or rental by corresponding with the offering member, by among other things, asking for photos, asking for resort or location materials, and asking for references.
Membership in FractionalExchange.com fractional home exchange will continue for a period of one year from the date of acceptance (unless otherwise stated), and be renewable per annum upon acceptance. Members pay an annual membership fee (either paid directly by the member or by a third party, independent of the member). FractionalExchange.com fees as published on the Site represent fees established for private parties listing property or properties they own; commercial users (defined as members representing properties belonging to others) are allowed to join FractionalExchange.com but are subject to separate fees as quoted by FractionalExchange.com (please contact FractionalExchange.com for additional details).
FractionalExchange.com offers a limited guarantee of satisfaction to all members in good standing. Should a member in good standing complete an exchange and be dissatisfied in any way or be unable to arrange an exchange, said member may simply request in writing a remission of their annual fee for the following year, and FractionalExchange.com will comply with said request, but the member shall have no further rights against FractionalExchange.com for any damages suffered.
