Waiver Pro
The Waiver Pro protects against minor guest damages without any guest interaction
How does it work?
A booking is confirmed.
You pay us a fee calculated based on the number of nights in the booking. The guest does not need to pay anything.
If any damages occur during their stay, you submit an incident report.
Our Resolutions Team will review and assess the damages to determine costs.
Once costs are determined, we will refund the amount to you within 3-5 business days.

1.3. With Waiver Pro applied to a Booking, the Host is covered for Accidental Damage, Malicious Damage and Theft to the Property and/or its Contents (herein referred to as “Property Damage” under these terms) in accordance with these
-
HOW IT WORKS
2.1. The Basic Screening Service provided by Truvi is a requisite for Waiver Pro to apply to any Booking.
2.2. When a Host applies Waiver Pro to a Booking, Basic Screening will be performed. If a Booking receives a “Rejected” status or is “Cancelled” by the Host, Truvi is not liable to pay for the Property Damage for that Booking, as it does not qualify for protection under Waiver Pro.
2.3. Truvi agrees to pay for Property Damage caused by a Guest to the Property and/or its Contents during an “Approved” or a “Flagged” Booking, up to a specified amount as mentioned on the Truvi Platform and/or in the Order Form in accordance with these terms.
-
PURCHASE AND PAYMENTS
3.1. For a flat and non-refundable Fee paid on “per night, per booking” basis, the Host can waive the requirement for the Guest to purchase Deposit Management Services provided by Truvi. Waiver Pro provides the Host with protection (up to a specified amount, details of which will be provided on Truvi’s Platform and/or in the Order Form) for any Property Damage caused to the Host’s Property and/or its Contents during an “Approved” or a “Flagged” Booking.
3.2. The Fee chargeable for Waiver Pro shall be outlined on Truvi’s Platform and/or in the Order Form.
3.3. If a Booking is allocated with a “Rejected” status or is “Cancelled” by the Host, the Fee associated with Waiver Pro will not be charged.
3.4. The total Fee for Waiver Pro per Booking is charged after the Booking concludes and the Guest checks-out to account for any changes in the Booking duration.
3.5. The Host must notify Truvi of any changes to the Booking duration to ensure the total Waiver Pro Fee is charged correctly for that Booking.
-
NO INSURANCE
4.1. Any Payment by Truvi in relation to these terms for Waiver Pro is discretionary and reliant on Truvi’s sole discretion. If we do not remit any Payments, we shall notify the Client in writing. Our decision to make or not make a Payment is final.
-
LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS
5.1. Where Basic Screening cannot be performed and a Guest cannot be verified, Waiver Pro will no longer be applicable to a Booking. The Host may, at their sole discretion, cancel the Booking in this scenario subject to their own terms and conditions with Guests.
5.2. The Guest remains liable for any Malicious Damage, Theft, pet damage (other than a service animal) and any fee associated with the Property Damage to, at or in the Property during the Booking which was caused by their own action or inaction.
5.3. Any payment by Truvi under Waiver Pro transfers a Guest’s liability such that it becomes a liability to Truvi rather than to the Host. Truvi is entitled to pursue the Guest in respect of the Property Damage and the Host is not entitled to pursue the Guest for the same Property Damage. If the Host recovers any sums from the Guest, the Host holds those sums on trust for Truvi, shall notify Truvi, and shall transfer those funds to the account nominated by Truvi in writing.

6.3. The Host acknowledges that any payment made to the Host under Waiver Pro and any liability of the Guest in excess of the Waiver Pro limit will be determined at Truvi’s sole discretion.
6.4. Truvi bears no liability to the Host for any Booking that has not received an “Approved” or “Flagged” status.

Truvi assumes no responsibility for actions taken at the Host’s discretion.
