Terms and Conditions

Welcome to BlueBeacon. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern access to and use of the BlueBeacon website, member dashboard, property advertising services, inquiry and offer tools, communications features, mobile interfaces, and related software and digital services (collectively, the "Platform").

By accessing the Platform, creating an account, submitting information, purchasing a Managed Advertising Package, or otherwise using BlueBeacon, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms.

1. About BlueBeacon

BlueBeacon is a digital advertising and software platform that provides managed advertising services for vacation properties and available vacation time.

BlueBeacon provides services that may include:

BlueBeacon's fees are charged for advertising, marketing, software, and Platform services.

BlueBeacon does not charge visitors for a stay and does not take a commission or percentage of an arrangement made between a property owner and a visitor.

2. Important Relationship Disclosure

BlueBeacon provides advertising and technology services.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in a separate written agreement, BlueBeacon is not acting as:

BlueBeacon does not itself provide accommodations.

BlueBeacon does not accept or confirm reservations for properties advertised by members.

A property advertisement appearing on BlueBeacon does not mean that BlueBeacon owns, manages, operates, independently inspects, or guarantees that property.

3. Managed Advertising Packages

BlueBeacon offers Managed Advertising Packages for property owners and members seeking advertising exposure for their available vacation property or vacation time.

Current packages may include:

Harbor — $1,495

A managed advertising package providing professional property presentation and advertising exposure through the BlueBeacon Platform, including a Google Ads campaign, Facebook and Instagram advertising, basic SEO and metadata optimization, monthly email marketing, and a monthly performance report.

Beacon — $2,995

An enhanced managed advertising package providing everything in Harbor, plus expanded advertising exposure, featured listing and priority placement, additional Google Ads campaigns with retargeting, social media advertising across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, advanced SEO and local optimization, audience targeting and retargeting, increased email marketing with automation, and a monthly performance report with insights and recommendations.

The specific services and features included with each package are those displayed and disclosed at the time of purchase and in any applicable advertising agreement.

BlueBeacon may modify packages, features, or pricing prospectively. Any such change does not retroactively change a package already purchased unless the member agrees otherwise.

4. 180-Day Managed Advertising Package

Where a Managed Advertising Package is sold for a 180-day service period, the package provides managed advertising services for 180 days in accordance with the applicable agreement.

The Managed Advertising Package is a one-time purchase and is not a recurring 30-day or monthly subscription unless a separate written agreement expressly states otherwise.

BlueBeacon may assist with preparing, presenting, publishing, maintaining, and advertising the member's property information during the applicable service period.

BlueBeacon may also advertise and promote the BlueBeacon Platform itself to increase public awareness and exposure of properties advertised through the Platform.

5. No Guaranteed Results

Purchasing a BlueBeacon Managed Advertising Package purchases advertising services—not a guaranteed outcome.

BlueBeacon does not guarantee:

Advertising performance can vary based on factors outside BlueBeacon's control, including property location, pricing, availability, photographs, property characteristics, market demand, seasonality, competition, visitor preferences, member responsiveness, and advertising conditions.

6. Property Information and Member Responsibilities

Members may submit or authorize advertising only for property or vacation time they lawfully own, control, manage, or have authorization to advertise.

Members are responsible for providing accurate and current information concerning their property and available time.

This may include:

Members must promptly notify BlueBeacon when information displayed in their advertisement becomes inaccurate or materially changes.

Members are responsible for ensuring that advertising and use of their property complies with any applicable laws, contracts, association requirements, property rules, club requirements, ownership documents, permits, or other restrictions that apply to them.

BlueBeacon does not provide legal advice regarding whether a member may advertise or make particular property time available.

7. Property Advertising Content

By submitting photographs, descriptions, property information, logos, or other content to BlueBeacon, the member represents that they have the right to use and provide that material.

The member grants BlueBeacon a non-exclusive, royalty-free license during the applicable service relationship to store, resize, format, reproduce, display, distribute, advertise, and promote submitted content as reasonably necessary to provide BlueBeacon's services.

BlueBeacon may edit formatting, image dimensions, descriptions, or presentation for clarity, consistency, advertising quality, Platform compatibility, or compliance purposes, provided that BlueBeacon does not intentionally make materially false representations about the property.

8. Inquiries and Offers

Interested visitors may use BlueBeacon to submit an inquiry or offer concerning an advertised property.

An inquiry or offer submitted through BlueBeacon is an expression of interest only.

Submitting an inquiry or offer:

The member remains free to review, accept, decline, or otherwise respond to an inquiry or offer.

BlueBeacon may establish expiration periods for Platform offers. When displayed on the Platform, an offer may expire after the stated period if the member does not respond.

9. Direct Arrangements Between Members and Visitors

If a member chooses to proceed with an interested visitor, the member and visitor communicate and make their arrangements directly.

They are responsible for agreeing upon matters such as:

BlueBeacon is not a party to that separate arrangement unless expressly stated in writing.

Members and visitors should independently verify the information and terms important to them before entering into an arrangement or exchanging money.

10. Payment for a Stay

BlueBeacon does not collect or process payment for a stay between a member and another party.

BlueBeacon's merchant processing is for BlueBeacon's own advertising, marketing, software, and Platform services.

Any payment for accommodations, deposits, cleaning charges, property-related fees, or other amounts associated with a stay must be handled according to the direct arrangement between the member and visitor.

BlueBeacon does not hold those funds and does not act as escrow agent or merchant of record for a stay.

11. BlueBeacon Fees and Payments

Members purchasing a Managed Advertising Package authorize BlueBeacon and its authorized payment-processing providers to process the disclosed package price and any other BlueBeacon service charge expressly authorized by the customer.

Before payment, the applicable price and purchased service should be disclosed through the website, service agreement, invoice, order form, payment page, or other applicable documentation.

Charges made by BlueBeacon are for BlueBeacon's own services.

BlueBeacon does not add a BlueBeacon commission to the price that a member and visitor independently arrange for a stay.

12. Cancellations and Refunds

Cancellation and refund rights for a BlueBeacon Managed Advertising Package are governed by the Refund and Cancellation Policy displayed on the Platform and any applicable signed advertising agreement.

The applicable refund terms should be reviewed before purchasing a package.

Refund provisions concerning BlueBeacon advertising services do not govern cancellations or refunds associated with a stay arranged directly between a member and visitor.

Because BlueBeacon does not collect payment for the stay, BlueBeacon cannot issue a refund of money it did not collect.

If a separate signed agreement provides the member with additional cancellation rights, those provisions will apply according to the terms of that agreement.

13. Accounts and Member Dashboard

Certain BlueBeacon services may require an account.

Members agree to provide accurate registration, contact, billing, and property information.

Members are responsible for:

BlueBeacon may restrict or suspend an account where reasonably necessary to address suspected fraud, security concerns, payment issues, unlawful conduct, misuse of the Platform, or violations of these Terms.

14. Advertising Analytics and Activity Information

BlueBeacon may provide members with advertising analytics through their dashboard.

Analytics may include:

Where geographic information is derived from an Internet Protocol ("IP") address, the displayed location is approximate and should not be interpreted as the precise physical location of an individual.

A member's dashboard is intended to display analytics associated with that member's own property advertisements and account.

Administrative personnel may have broader access where reasonably necessary for Platform operations, customer support, security, fraud prevention, recordkeeping, dispute management, and legal compliance.

15. IP Addresses and Platform Activity Records

BlueBeacon may collect IP addresses, device information, timestamps, login information, advertising interactions, inquiry activity, account activity, and other technical records.

This information may be used for:

Collection and use of personal information is further described in BlueBeacon's Privacy Policy.

16. Visitors

Visitors are responsible for reviewing property information before making decisions concerning an advertised property.

Users should independently verify important information, including:

BlueBeacon does not guarantee the identity, conduct, reliability, or performance of every Platform user.

17. Prohibited Activities

Users may not:

BlueBeacon may remove content or restrict accounts reasonably believed to violate these requirements.

18. Third-Party Services

BlueBeacon may use third-party service providers in connection with its operations, including:

Third-party services may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

BlueBeacon is not responsible for the independent operation of third-party services except to the extent required by applicable law.

19. Intellectual Property

The BlueBeacon name, logos, branding, website design, software, interfaces, graphics, original content, databases, workflows, and related materials are owned by or licensed to BlueBeacon and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Users may not copy, scrape, reproduce, distribute, reverse engineer, commercially exploit, or misuse protected BlueBeacon materials without authorization.

20. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the BlueBeacon Platform and services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

BlueBeacon does not warrant that the Platform will always operate without interruption, error, delay, or technical problems.

BlueBeacon makes no warranty concerning a particular advertising outcome, inquiry level, offer level, occupancy rate, revenue result, or stay outcome.

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

21. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, BlueBeacon will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from use of the Platform or services.

BlueBeacon is not responsible for disputes arising from a direct arrangement between a property owner and visitor, including disputes concerning property condition, availability, payment for a stay, cancellations, refunds, personal injury, property damage, or the conduct of another Platform user, except where liability cannot legally be excluded.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, BlueBeacon's aggregate liability arising from its services will not exceed the amount paid to BlueBeacon by the claimant for the BlueBeacon service giving rise to the claim during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

22. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, users agree to indemnify and hold harmless BlueBeacon and its applicable owners, managers, officers, employees, contractors, service providers, and licensors from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and reasonable costs arising from:

23. Privacy

Use of BlueBeacon is subject to the BlueBeacon Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy should explain BlueBeacon's collection and use of account information, property information, communications, transaction-related information, IP addresses, device information, cookies, analytics, approximate geolocation information, and other information used to operate and secure the Platform.

24. Cookies and Similar Technologies

BlueBeacon may use cookies and similar technologies for functions including:

Additional information should be provided through BlueBeacon's Privacy or Cookie Policy.

25. Electronic Communications

By creating an account or providing contact information, users consent to receiving transactional and service-related electronic communications reasonably necessary to administer their account or provide purchased services.

Marketing communications will be handled in accordance with applicable law and available opt-out mechanisms.

26. Electronic Agreements and Records

Where permitted by law, users may enter into agreements and receive records electronically.

Electronic acceptance, signatures, timestamps, account records, and related electronic evidence may be maintained by BlueBeacon as part of its business records.

27. Platform Security

BlueBeacon uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect its Platform and information.

No Internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

Users are responsible for protecting their passwords, devices, accounts, and access credentials.

28. Suspension and Termination

BlueBeacon may suspend or terminate an account, advertisement, or service where reasonably necessary because of:

Termination does not automatically create a right to a refund. Refund eligibility remains governed by the applicable Refund and Cancellation Policy and signed agreement.

29. Changes to These Terms

BlueBeacon may update these Terms periodically.

When material changes are made, the revised Terms and effective date will be posted on the Platform or otherwise communicated where required by law.

Continued use of the Platform following the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by applicable law.

30. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms, and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Platform, or any BlueBeacon service, are governed by the laws of the State of Florida and applicable United States federal law, without giving effect to any conflict-of-laws rule that would apply the law of another jurisdiction.

The exclusive venue for any action, claim, or proceeding is the state courts located in Palm Beach County, Florida, or the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Each party consents to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waives any objection to venue in them, including any objection that the forum is inconvenient.

Before filing any action, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally. A party must first send a written description of the dispute and the relief sought to Contact@MyBlueBeacon.com, and the parties will have thirty (30) days from that notice to reach a resolution. This requirement does not prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief at any time to protect its intellectual property, account security, or confidential information.

Where a member has signed a Managed Advertising Package Agreement or other written agreement with BlueBeacon that contains a dispute-resolution, mediation, arbitration, venue, or jurisdiction provision covering the same subject matter, that signed agreement controls to the extent of the conflict, consistent with Section 32.
