2. Services Provided

Behomm is a website that allows members to contact one another and, if they wish, arrange home exchanges between them. Behomm allows members to publish a listing of their home, submit text and photos, access a directory of listings posted by other members, submit emailed inquiries, and view confirmations when inquiries are opened.

As a result, we have no control over either the conduct of our members or the truth or accuracy of the information that members post on our Site. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other members of our community.

Behomm offers published listings on this Site based on the information provided by the listing parties.

Behomm assumes no liability regarding the accuracy, content, or availability of information accessed or linked to through this Site, including information provided by members.

Upon registration, your primary email address will become your login identifier and you will choose a password. Your password should be maintained confidentially and should not be shared with anyone nor distributed nor disclosed to third parties. You agree to notify Behomm immediately if there is unauthorized access or use of your account. It is your responsibility to notify Behomm if you need us to change or discontinue your password.

5. Membership

INVITATIONS
Behomm is committed to the highest safety standards, which is why we use an invitation-only registration model that is intended to guard against anonymous registrations and make the connections authentic. Our community is a real network of friends of friends of friends. Behomm membership of any sort is only available to designers and visual artists who have been personally invited to join or consider joining the site and requires a specific invitation from a Behomm member or from the Behomm founders.

Whether due to technical or business-based decisions, and in order to provide the adequate service, we reserve the right to block the use of invitations by users at any time and for as long we consider necessary. Sending an invitation does not imply that your contact or friend is automatically registered in our Site. When you send an invitation to join Behomm, you agree that you will be fully responsible for any conflict or complaint that arises related to the invitation from Behomm, relieving Behomm of any and all responsibility related to the invitation.

Please note: listing your property on Behomm does not guarantee ongoing display on the site. All listings must be approved by Behomm, which will take place as promptly as possible after your listing is added and is based on whether your property is in keeping with Behomm’s aesthetic outlook and a profession validation process. If your property is not approved, your membership fee will of course be returned. On occasion, a member may be asked to revise their post to meet the aesthetic standard of the site and that member is expected to comply rapidly to avoid suspension or closure of their member account.

MEMBERSHIP TYPES
Behomm offers the following membership types and you agree to be bound by the stated rules and limitations of each particular membership you achieve, now and in the future:

1 Year Trial Membership (€95): valid for a period of one year, twelve (12) calendar months, from the day that a membership fee is collected by Behomm. Annual Trial Members can send up to 10 exchange emails/offers per day (every 24 hours). After your 1 Year Trial Membership, your membership will continue and automatically renew for a further period of twelve (12) calendar months at Behomm’s regular annual membership fee (€190) unless you cancel your membership going to ‘My Account’ and selecting ‘Cancel my Membership’ at any time before the end of your 1 Year Trial Membership.
1 Year Premium Membership (€190): valid for a period of one year, twelve (12) calendar months, from the day that a membership fee is collected by Behomm. Annual Premium Members can send up to 20 exchange emails/offers per day (every 24 hours) and have the possibility of registering a second home for free. As all new homes this second home will also go through the Behomm validation process. Behomm reserves the right to not approve second homes. After your 1 Year Premium Membership, your membership will continue and automatically renew for a further period of twelve (12) calendar months at the same annual membership fee (€190) unless you cancel your membership going to “My Account” and selecting “Cancel my Membership” at any time before the end of your 1 Year Premium Membership.
Free 1 Year Trial: Behomm ended the possibility of registering with this special Free 1 Year Trial on April 26th, 2017. Free 1 Year Trial Memberships are valid for a period of one year, twelve (12) calendar months, with the explicit conditions that they are (a) only for new members; (b) only available once per person/couple/family; (c) terminated fully once the account is cancelled or expired, which waives the Trial Member’s rights to have this type of membership reinstated, reissued, or re-acquired via a new invitation. Free 1 Year Trial Members must also invite 5 different friends to join the Site through the Site invitation system. Free 1 Year Trial Members can send up to 10 exchange emails/offers per day (every 24 hours). Please note: As promised at time of registration, currently active Free 1 Year Trial Members will enjoy a €95 annual membership. This price will only apply for the first renewal and if this is done before the 1 Year Free Trial expiration date. After the expiration date of the 1 Year Free Trial Membership, these members will enjoy a special pricing plan of €135 per year.
Free For Life Membership: Behomm is thankful to our members who were the first to use Behomm and we have created a Free-for-Life Membership for the first 300 of these, based on the following qualifications and requirements:
- Member is one of the first 300 members registered upon Site launch. Qualified registrations shall be awarded Free-for-Life memberships on a “first come, first served” basis.
- Member has posted and still maintains at least 5 photos of their home in their listing as well as in their second home listing if they have it, according to these rules: (a) high resolution and well-lit (no dark images); (b) wide/open shots that depict their home’s spaces and not just details; (c) at least five photos must be of their home’s interior (living room, dining room, master bedroom, kitchen and bathroom); (d) with no company logos nor added text on the photos (nor handwritten text or typography); and (e) pictures not illustrations.
- Member has invited 5 different friends to join the Site through the Site invitation system.
- If you achieve these requirements and obtain a Free-for-Life membership, you understand that this membership cannot be transferred nor inherited; that it is only available on an individual basis; and that lack of the required photos on your home exchange listing for a period of 60 days implies loss of your Free-for-Life membership. You understand that the count of Free-for-Life memberships is at our discretion and is intended to be finite, meaning that once a Free-for-Life Membership is lost or closed, no other one will be automatically created or awarded to replace it.
Visiting Prospective Membership: Existing Behomm members may email a limited count of invitations to friends so that they may investigate joining Behomm. Each invitation includes a private code that the prospective member may use to log into a view-only version of the Behomm site and search and view all homes and home listing details. Each code invitation will expire 15 days after its first day of use; the prospective member must be issued a new invitation in order to acquire a Visiting Membership. You understand that visitors are not given access to functions of the site that allow them to contact any other type of member or visitor.

You can check the due date of your next membership fee payment and/or your renewal date at any time by going to ‘My account’ and then ‘My Membership’.

We reserve the right to change membership fees at any time; these changes will be notified via email. We reserve the right to have special pricing plans for members who registered at the beginning of our launch.

There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service, annual payments, or refunds for months unused with an open account. No exceptions will be made.

FIRST ANNUAL PAYMENT GUARANTEE
If a member does not arrange a home exchange during their first annual paid membership period, Behomm offers to give that member the following extra time depending on their membership type: (a) 1 Year Premium Membership (who paid € 190): twelve (12) extra months of membership for free; (b) 1 Year Trial Membership (who paid € 95): six (6) extra months of membership for free. These offers only apply if the following conditions are met:

The member has not done the Free 1 Year Trial.
The Member has added and maintained at least five photos of their home to their listing.
The Member has proactively contacted at least five other, different members through this Site in an attempt to set up a home exchange, has given them fair and sufficient time to respond, and has made a truly earnest effort to arrange a home exchange.
The Member has directly contacted Behomm before the end of their first payment period to request that the First Annual Payment Guarantee be applied. If the second payment to Behomm has already been made by the member, the First Annual Payment Guarantee is no longer applicable and the second payment is non-refundable.

Free 1 Year Trial, Visiting Prospective Membership and Free for Life Membership are not eligible for a first payment guarantee.

ACCOUNT CANCELLATION
Members have the right to cancel their memberships at any time and easily through their accounts. If you cancel your membership, you agree that cancellation implies that you will lose your information, inclusive of photos, friends lists and favourites, and that you will not be able to recover such information. Previous backup of such information is your exclusive responsibility. Once your membership is cancelled, you will not be able to log into your account and will need another invitation if interested in becoming a member again in the future. You understand that refunds will not be provided in any case when you cancel your membership.

When a member uses our invitation service for inviting a friend to join Behomm, we ask them for the friend’s email address. Behomm will automatically send the friend an email inviting him/her to visit the Site. Behomm stores this information for the purpose of sending this invitation email to allow that person being referred to enter through his/her invitation code. The person being referred may contact Behomm to request the removal of this information from the database at any time.

5. Computer Tracking and Cookies

Sections of this Site may use cookies to keep track of your visit, or to deliver content specific to your interests. A “cookie” is a small amount of data transferred to your browser and read by the web server that placed it there. A cookie works as a sort of identification card, recording your preferences and previously entered information. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to accept or reject it.

7. Unsubscribe

You, as a member, can easily manage your notifications through your account settings and in some cases directly through the electronic communication you receive from Behomm, having the right to opt out at all times. Account status, payment and exchange offer emails cannot be disabled for as long as you have a Behomm account.

8. Links

This Site may contain hyperlinks to websites that are not operated by us. These hyperlinks are provided for your reference and convenience only and do not imply any endorsement of the activities of such third party websites or any association with their operators. We do not control these websites and are not responsible for their personal data practices. We urge you to review any privacy policy posted on any site you visit before using the site or providing any personal data about yourself.

9. Security

Behomm works hard to control the security of our Community and has put a variety of security measures in place to protect our members as much as possible.

As a security measure, each invitation code is linked to the email it was sent to. Before becoming a member, we ask for the email address where you received your invitation code. This way Behomm verifies that each visitor really corresponds to the email owner who received that invitation code.

Also as a security measure, only real names are allowed when registering. Nicknames, strange characters or abbreviations are prohibited. Members cannot edit their name through their account. For a misspelling or any error or to report a perceived violation of this Policy, you should contact us at hola [ at ] behomm [ dot ] com.

Behomm has implemented technical measures in order to keep the files containing your personal data secure. In particular, Behomm will make its best effort to carefully protect your personal data from loss, unauthorized disclosure, mistreatment, alteration or unintentional destruction.

10. Miscellaneous

Your listing with your photos and all your information can only be viewed by members and visitors who must be invited by a Behomm member or by the Behomm founders. The general public cannot see any information about our members except when Behomm has been given advanced express permission by individual members for promotional activities.

When a message sent through Behomm’s internal system is opened by a member, the sender receives a time-stamped confirmation.

We may have to retain information in our files that you removed from our active databases in order to provide legal compliance, even after termination. Also, in case of a duly authorized legal request, Behomm may release the personal information of a member.

11. Changes to this Privacy Policy

Behomm may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time, and if we do we’ll post any changes on this Site with the date they were made. If you continue to use Behomm after those changes are in effect, you agree to the revised Policy. If the changes are significant, we may provide more prominent notice or obtain your consent as required by law.
