In these Listing Terms, the following definitions apply unless the context otherwise requires:
2.1 Platform Mandate: HomeBridge operates an enterprise-grade corporate housing referral, demand-generation, and billing coordination platform. Under this framework, HomeBridge provides marketing and corporate lead redirection services to independent localized operators.
2.2 Nature of Relationship: HomeBridge acts as a commercial partner, and unlike our Master Tenant Program, HomeBridge does not act as a tenant, primary lessee, or master tenant under these Operator Terms. The Operator explicitly acknowledges and agrees that HomeBridge does not take physical possession of, lease, assume rent liability, or guarantee rent for the listed properties.
2.3 No Tenancy Creation: No landlord-tenant relationship, leasehold estate, or residential tenancy is created between HomeBridge and the Operator, nor between the downstream Corporate Client and the Operator. This agreement is a commercial platform services contract operating completely outside the scope and regulations of the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) 2004 (as amended) and the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB).
3.1 Listing License: The Operator grants HomeBridge a royalty-free, worldwide license to display, advertise, distribute, and describe the property imagery, specifications, and location data across our property catalogues, marketing channels, and materials.
3.2 Pricing and Platform Management: To maintain competitive corporate positioning, property pricing profiles will not be published or displayed on public listings. HomeBridge retains the exclusive right to market and invoice corporate clients at a dynamic gross rate inclusive of a custom platform markup determined solely by HomeBridge.
3.3 Real-Time Inventory Management: The Operator must maintain precise, live calendar availability metrics with HomeBridge. Upon receiving an enterprise placement inquiry, the Operator must formally confirm or decline availability within a mandatory 24-hour window.
4.1 Operator Base Rate Definition: The Operator shall establish a confidential, fixed, non-negotiable net base rate required for their property (the “Operator Base Rate”). Any platform markups applied over and above this base rate belong entirely to HomeBridge.
4.2 Invoicing/Billing Sequence: The transaction and billing pathway shall strictly flow:
Corporate Client → HomeBridge → Operator
The Corporate Client pays HomeBridge directly under their enterprise MSA. The Operator shall issue a commercial invoice to HomeBridge for the agreed Operator Base Rate only upon the successful confirmation and official start date of an active corporate assignment.
4.3 Payment Processing: HomeBridge operates strictly as a demand routing agent and billing coordination interface under this vertical. HomeBridge’s financial obligation to disburse the Operator Base Rate to the Operator is strictly and completely conditional upon, and subject to, the prior receipt of cleared gross funds from the Corporate Client. HomeBridge accepts zero commercial liability, cash-flow exposure, or out-of-pocket obligation for any corporate client payment delays, non-payments, bankruptcy defaults, or ongoing property vacancies. All asset risk and vacancy overhead remain 100% with the Operator.
5.1 Operational Responsibility: The Operator retains 100% operational, maintenance, legal, financial, and structural responsibility for the physical property asset at all times.
5.2 Fulfilment Requirements: The Operator warrants and agrees to perform, at their sole expense, all on-site operations including, but not limited to:
5.3 Corporate-Grade Service Level Agreements (SLAs): To maintain active status in the HomeBridge catalogue/listing, the Operator must maintain the property to corporate-grade, “move-in ready” standards, as well as comply with the mandatory performance baselines set forth below:
| Service Category | Mandatory Operational Requirement |
|---|---|
| Connectivity | Active, continuous high-speed fibre broadband (minimum 100 Mbps download capability) paired with ergonomic work-from-home (WFH) desk zones. |
| Maintenance Support | Critical property functionality failures (heating, hot water, broken secure locks) must be resolved on-site by the Operator within 24 hours of notice. |
| Regulatory Compliance | Asset must maintain strict, verified compliance with Irish fire safety codes, structural regulations, and electrical certifications. |
Failure to uphold these operational baselines will result in the immediate removal of the listing, termination of the Operator from the network, and indemnity for client relocation costs.
6.1 Platform Vacancy & Distribution Disclaimer: HomeBridge provides demand-generation marketing on an “as-available” basis. HomeBridge makes no guarantees, explicit or implied, regarding occupancy volume, placement frequencies, or specific revenue targets. All vacancy risks are borne entirely by the Operator, and HomeBridge shall not be liable for unearned income or operational overhead during periods without active corporate service orders.
6.2 Operational Indemnity: The Operator shall fully indemnify, protect, defend, and hold harmless HomeBridge Residential Services Limited, its directors, and its agents from and against any third-party claims, lawsuits, liabilities, personal injury losses, or property damages occurring on the listed premises.
6.3 Property Damage Pass-Through: HomeBridge contracts exclusively with verified corporate entities, never private individuals. While HomeBridge carries no direct structural liability under this listing model, HomeBridge explicitly agrees to pass through to the Operator all enforceable property damage indemnities successfully recovered from the corporate client arising from occupant misconduct.
6.4 Overstay Penalty Pass-Through: If a corporate assignee refuses to vacate the unit past their confirmed ISO deadline, HomeBridge will enforce its standard corporate overstay penalty against the client (calculated at 250% of the daily gross rate) and pass the recovered net proceeds directly to the Operator to cover the unexpected encumbrance.
7.1 Duration: This framework agreement remains in effect for a rolling period of twelve (12) months from the Effective Date and shall automatically renew unless terminated.
7.2 Termination for Convenience: Either party may terminate this Agreement without cause by providing 30 days written notice, provided that no active corporate placements are currently occupying the Operator’s property.
7.3 Termination for Cause: HomeBridge reserves the right to terminate this agreement and remove listings immediately if the Operator fails to meet the operational SLAs outlined in these terms, or if a corporate client issues a valid, material safety complaint regarding the asset.
The Operator acknowledges that HomeBridge’s business model relies on the cultivation of proprietary relationships with corporate clients and demand aggregators (the “Corporate Partners”). To protect the integrity of these commercial relationships, the Operator covenants and agrees that, during the term of their platform inclusion and for a period of twenty-four (24) months following their removal or termination for any reason, they shall not, directly or indirectly:
8.1 Solicit, induce, or attempt to persuade any Corporate Partner to terminate their relationship with HomeBridge or to bypass HomeBridge by entering into any direct arrangement for the provision of accommodation at the Property;
8.2 Enter into any contract, agreement, or commercial arrangement for the provision of housing or accommodation services with any person or entity known to the Operator to be a Corporate Partner of HomeBridge, provided that such Corporate Partner was introduced to or utilised the Property during the term of this Agreement; or
8.3 Otherwise interfere with the business relationship between HomeBridge and its Corporate Partners.
The Operator acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this clause are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of HomeBridge and that any breach of this clause would cause irreparable harm to HomeBridge, for which monetary damages alone may be an inadequate remedy.
9.1 Roles and Obligations: In providing demand-generation and billing services, HomeBridge and the Operator shall each act as independent data controllers in respect of any personal data processed for the administration of bookings.
9.2 Operational Data: The Operator warrants that they have obtained all necessary consents from corporate assignees to process their personal data for the purpose of on-site check-ins, facility management, and guest safety.
9.3 Data Security: Both parties agree to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of data shared via the platform, ensuring compliance with the GDPR and Irish data protection regulations.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless HomeBridge Residential Services Limited and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (i) your breach of these Terms; or (ii) any fraudulent, misleading, or harmful conduct on your part in connection with your interactions with HomeBridge.
If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the remainder of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced with a valid provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the original provision.
HomeBridge reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We recommend that you review these Terms periodically. Material changes affecting existing contractual arrangements will be communicated directly to the affected parties.
These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including non-contractual disputes), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Ireland. Any such dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ireland, without prejudice to your statutory rights as a consumer under EU law (where applicable).
In the event of any dispute arising from these Terms or from any business relationship with HomeBridge, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the matter through good-faith direct negotiation. If the dispute cannot be resolved within 30 days of written notice of the dispute, either party may refer the matter to mediation before a mutually agreed mediator, in accordance with the Mediation Act 2017 (Ireland). Where mediation fails or is not appropriate, the dispute shall be referred to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts as set out in Clause 13 above.
This clause does not affect any statutory dispute resolution rights you may have as a consumer or business under Irish or EU law.
