Terms of Service

Roomii’s mission is to make every space aspirational with quality pre-owned furniture affordable for everyone. 

To join the roomii furniture sharing community and lease furniture from the marketplace, you must agree to the terms of service, privacy policy, and nondiscrimination policy.

roomii’’s Terms of service

Introduction

Roomii and its subsidiaries (collectively, “roomii”, “we”, or “us”), provide an online furniture-sharing platform that connects furniture owners with people that need furniture short term to lease those furniture pieces. Roomii is accessible online at roomii.co. Roomii’s websites, blog, and associated services are collectively referred to as “the Services”. By accessing or using the Services, including by communicating with us or other Roomii users, you agree to comply with, and be legally bound by, the provisions of these Terms of Service (these “Terms”), whether or not you become a registered user of the Services. These Terms govern your access to and use of the Services and constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Roomii.

These Terms, together with Roomii’s Privacy Policy, applicable insurance terms and certificates, and the user Policies accessible via the Services (the “Policies”) constitute the “Agreement” between you and Roomii (each a “Party” and together, “the Parties”).

Modification. Roomii reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to modify the Services or the Agreement, including these Terms, at any time. If we modify these Terms, we will post the modification on the Services. We will also update the “Last Revised” date at the top of these Terms. If you continue to access or use the Services after we have posted a modification or have provided you with notice of a modification, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the modified terms. If the modified terms are not acceptable to you, your sole recourse is to stop using and accessing the Services and close your Roomii Account within 30 days. If you choose to close your Roomii Account, the previously effective version of these Terms will apply to you, unless you use the Services during the intervening 30-day period, in which case the new version of these Terms will apply to you.

Eligibility, registration, verification

Eligibility

The Services are intended solely for persons who are 18 and older to lease furniture. Any use of the Services by anyone who does not meet these age requirements is expressly prohibited.

Registration

To access certain features of the Services, you must sign up for an account with us (a “Roomii Account”). You can create a Roomii Account by providing us your first and last name, email address, and phone number, and creating a password or connecting through an account with a third-party site or service (including Apple, Facebook, Google, and Twitter). When you lease furniture as a renter, you provide us with certain additional information about yourself. Similarly, when you lease out your furniture as a furniture owner (“Owner ”), you provide us with certain additional information about yourself and your furniture(s) (if applicable). You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration, leasing, and/or listing process. You must keep your Roomii Account up to date at all times. Based on the information you provide, Roomii may impose additional requirements for you to lease furniture (e.g., providing a security deposit, adding a second form of payment, buying a certain level of protection plan, or other requirements). 

Verification

Where permitted, Roomii has the right, but not the obligation, to undertake screenings, checks, and engage in processes designed to (1) help verify the identities or check the backgrounds of users such as renter’s insurance validity. Roomii does not endorse any furniture, user, or a user’s background, or commit to undertake any specific screening process. Roomii may in its sole discretion use third-party services to verify the information you provide to us and to obtain additional related information and corrections where applicable. You hereby authorize Roomii to request, receive, use, and store such information. Roomii may permit or refuse your request to lease or list furniture in its sole and absolute discretion. Roomii may, but does not commit to, undertake efforts to ensure the safety of furniture shared through the Services. We do not make any representations about, confirm, or endorse the safety, structural integrity, or legal status of any furniture beyond our policies that require the owner to ensure their furniture is in safe condition and owned by the renter, and otherwise satisfy our eligibility requirements.

Fees, taxes

Fees

The fees we charge for using the Services and other cost structures will be itemized at checkout for renters. You can verify the amount for your lease at checkout before you submit your lease order. The owner can view earnings on the Owner Account and learn more about earnings breakdown here. When you provide Roomii a payment method, you authorize Roomii, or third-party service providers acting on Roomii’s behalf, to store your payment credentials for future use in the event you owe Roomii any money. You authorize Roomii to use stored payment credentials for balances, including for renter fees, and renter fees (e.g., late fees, security deposits, processing fees and claims costs, and related administrative fees). 

Collection of fees

Roomii and its service providers will employ all legal methods available to collect amounts due, including the engagement of collection agencies or legal counsel. Roomii, or the collection agencies we retain, may also report information about your Roomii Account to credit bureaus. As a result, late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your Roomii Account may be reflected in your credit report. In addition to the amount due, delinquent accounts or chargebacks will be charged with fees and/or charges that are incidental to the collection of delinquent accounts or chargebacks including, but not limited to, collection fees, convenience fees, and/or other third party charges. If you wish to dispute the information Roomii reported to a credit bureau (i.e., Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion), please contact support.roomii.co. If you wish to dispute the information a collection agency reported to a credit bureau regarding your Roomii Account, you must contact the collection agency directly.

Taxes

In certain jurisdictions, Roomii may enable the collection and remittance of certain taxes from or on behalf of renters or owners, based on existing and future tax regulations, including marketplace facilitator. The amount of taxes, if any, collected and remitted by Roomii will be visible to, and separately stated, to both renter and renter on their respective lease-related documents and invoices. Where Roomii is facilitating the collection and remittance of taxes, owners are not permitted to collect the same taxes on the Services about their furniture leasing in that jurisdiction.

Your commitments

You agree that you will always use your Roomii Account and the Services in compliance with these Terms, applicable law, and any other policies and standards provided to you by Roomii.

Account Activity. You are and will be solely responsible for, all of the activity that occurs through your Roomii Account. Keep your Roomii Account information, including your password, secure. You agree that you will not disclose your password to any third party and that you will take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your Roomii Account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. You will immediately notify Roomii of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of your Roomii Account. We are not responsible for your failure to comply with this clause, or for any delay in shutting down or protecting your Roomii Account unless you have reported unauthorized access to us.
