Limitation of Liability

MINNēSTAY enters into agreements with guests, home owners, third party service providers to provide the Services, but MINNēSTAY has no direct control over the conduct of such parties that are not agents or employees of MINNēSTAY.

This limitation shall not apply to any claim by a Home Owner against MINNēSTAY regarding the remittance of payments received from a Guest by MINNēSTAY on behalf of a Home Owner, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled "Limitation of Liability".
Liability Limitations
MINNēSTAY is not a real estate broker, agent or insurer. Any legal remedy for actions or omissions must be directed to the specific users or third parties who caused harm, not to MINNēSTAY.
