Terms of Service for Ocelot Nomadic

Effective Date: [April 26, 2026]

Welcome to Ocelot Nomadic! These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Ocelot Nomadic website, mobile applications, and services (collectively, the “Services”) to discover, book, and rent homes operated under our fractional real estate model.

By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our Services.

1. Description of Services

Ocelot Nomadic provides a platform that allows users to rent residential properties that are owned, managed, or operated through our fractional real estate ownership model. We provide the platform to facilitate bookings, process payments, and communicate property details.

2. Eligibility and Account Registration

  • Age Requirement: You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to use our Services and book a property.
  • Account: To access certain features, you may need to register for an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
  • Accuracy of Information: You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration and booking process.

3. Booking, Payments, and Cancellations

  • Bookings: All bookings are subject to availability and our approval. A booking is not confirmed until you receive a confirmation email from Ocelot Nomadic.
  • Payments: By providing a payment method, you authorize Ocelot Nomadic (or our third-party payment processors) to charge the applicable fees, including room rates, cleaning fees, security deposits, and taxes.
  • Security Deposits: We reserve the right to require a security deposit prior to your stay. This deposit may be used to cover damages, excessive cleaning fees, or violations of property rules.
  • Cancellations: Cancellation policies vary by property and booking terms. Please review the specific cancellation policy provided at the time of booking. Refunds, if applicable, will be processed according to the stated policy.

4. Property Rules and Guest Responsibilities

As a guest at an Ocelot Nomadic property, you agree to comply with the following:

  • Use of Property: Properties are for residential, vacation, or temporary lodging purposes only. Commercial use, illegal activities, or unauthorized events/parties are strictly prohibited.
  • Occupancy Limits: You must adhere to the maximum occupancy limits stated for the property.
  • Property Rules: You agree to follow all specific house rules provided before or during your stay (e.g., quiet hours, parking rules, pet policies, trash disposal).
  • Condition of Property: You agree to leave the property in the condition it was in upon arrival, subject to normal wear and tear. You are responsible for any damage caused by you or your invitees.

5. Fractional Ownership Model (If Applicable)

  • Note: If users are simply renting, this section can be brief. If you are also selling fractional ownership shares through the platform, this section must be heavily expanded by legal counsel.
  • Renting a property does not grant you any ownership interest, equity, or title in the property. Your rights are strictly limited to the temporary use and occupancy of the premises for the booked duration.

6. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

  • As-Is: Our Services and properties are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE,” without warranty of any kind, either express or implied.
  • Limitation of Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ocelot Nomadic shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (a) your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Services; (b) your stay at any Ocelot Nomadic property.

7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Ocelot Nomadic, its officers, directors, employees, and agents, from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your stay at any property.

8. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of [Insert State], without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Services shall be resolved through binding arbitration in [Insert City, State], except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

9. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of any material changes by posting the updated Terms on the Services and changing the “Effective Date.” Your continued use of the Services after the revised Terms have become effective indicates that you have read, understood, and agreed to the current version of the Terms.
