You agree to the Hosts and One Stop Check-In’s terms and a contract for the Hosts Services is formed directly between you and the Host. One Stop Check-In is not a bookings platform and the online check-in document is not a booking or reservation confirmation. It is used for the sole purpose of providing the host with pre-requisite personal check-in information and documentation in addition to agreeing to their terms of stay after a booking or reservation has been made directly with the host and independent of One Stop Check-In. The guest must obtain the listing ID from the host and confirm the correctness of the listing prior to filling the check-in document.

  1. Cancellations and Modifications

21.7 Modification to Kenya Branch of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators Rules – Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, One Stop Check-In agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option: (a) in the Kenyan county where you reside; (b) in Mombasa County; (c) via phone or video conference; or (d) if all parties agree, by solely the submission of documents to the arbitrator.

21.8 Modification of Kenya Branch of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators – Legal Fees and Costs. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the Arbitrators Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the Arbitrators Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, each party will share equally the arbitration fees and expenses. Either party may make a request that the arbitrator award legal fees and costs upon proving that the other party has asserted a claim, cross-claim or defense that is groundless in fact or law, brought in bad faith or for the purpose of harassment, or is otherwise frivolous, as allowed by applicable law and the Arbitration Rules.

21.9 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any relief allowed by law or the Kenya Branch of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators Rules, but declaratory or injunctive relief may be awarded only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

21.10 Trial Waiver. You and One Stop Check-In acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial as to all arbitrable Disputes.

21.11 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and One Stop Check-In acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative or consolidated proceeding. Unless we agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of the waiver contained in this paragraph as to any claim, cause of action or requested remedy, then that claim, cause of action or requested remedy, and only that claim, cause of action or requested remedy, will be severed from this agreement to arbitrate and will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that a claim, cause of action or requested remedy is severed pursuant to this paragraph, then you and we agree that the claims, causes of action or requested remedies that are not subject to arbitration will be stayed until all arbitrable claims, causes of action and requested remedies are resolved by the arbitrator.

21.12 Severability. Except as provided in Section 23.11, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision will be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will be given full force and effect.

21.13 Changes to Agreement to Arbitrate. If One Stop Check-In changes this Section 21 after the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject that change by sending us written notice (including by email) within 30 days of the date the change is effective. Rejecting a new change, however, does not revoke or alter your prior consent to any earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between you and One Stop Check-In (or your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain in effect and enforceable as to any Dispute between you and One Stop Check-In.

21.14 Survival. Except as provided in Section 21.12 and subject to Section 11.6, this Section 21 will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the One Stop Check-In Platform or terminate your One Stop Check-In account.

The choice of law will be guided in accordance to the consumer protection regulations of the Republic of Kenya. If you are acting as a consumer, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Republic of Kenya courts. Legal proceedings that you are able to bring against us arising from or in connection with these Terms may only be brought in a court located in the Republic of Kenya.
