Awaywell is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Airbnb.
1.Service Description
Awaywell provides digital support and automation services for short-term rental hosts. Services may include guest communication, check-in assistance, property-information responses, routine request handling, review workflows, and other approved digital hosting tasks.
Specific capabilities depend on platform permissions, property configuration, service plan, and beta availability.

- Taxes, licenses and permits
- Physical property conditions
- Cleaners and maintenance
- Emergency response
- Decisions requiring owner authorization

5.Platform Access and Authorization

The customer is responsible for granting appropriate permissions and for reviewing those permissions over time. Awaywell may act only within the permissions and authorization the customer provides.
Awaywell is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Airbnb.
6.AI and Automation Disclosure
Awaywell uses artificial intelligence, automation and other software tools as part of providing its service.
AI-generated or automated actions can occasionally be incomplete, delayed, incorrect or inappropriate. Awaywell uses property-specific instructions and escalation rules to reduce these risks, but cannot guarantee that every automated response or action will be error-free.
Customers authorize the use of AI and automation as part of the service.
7.Escalation
Awaywell is designed to escalate situations that are:
- Unclear
- Unusual
- Safety-related
- Emergency-related
- Outside established property rules
- Financially significant
- Otherwise designated by the customer
However, escalation is not guaranteed to prevent all errors or losses.
8.Emergency Disclaimer
Awaywell is not an emergency response service. Guests and hosts should contact appropriate emergency services when there is an immediate threat to health, safety or property.
The service should not be relied upon for emergency response of any kind.
9.Customer Information
Customers are responsible for ensuring that information provided during onboarding — and any later updates — is accurate and current. Awaywell may rely on that information when communicating with guests.
10.Third-Party Platforms
Awaywell relies on third-party services and platforms. Availability or functionality can be affected by:
- Platform outages

- Third-party policies
- Software failures

NerdyHippo LLC does not control those third-party platforms.
11.Fees and Cancellation

Pricing may change for future customers. Existing customer pricing will be governed by the applicable service agreement or order terms.
12.Acceptable Use
Customers may not use Awaywell for unlawful, fraudulent, abusive or deceptive activity, or in a way that violates the rules of a third-party platform.
13.Intellectual Property
Awaywell branding, software, workflows, website content and related materials belong to NerdyHippo LLC or its licensors, as applicable.
Customers retain ownership of and responsibility for their property information and content.
14.Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Awaywell service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
NerdyHippo LLC does not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, or that automated responses will always be accurate or appropriate. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, and those exclusions may not apply to you.
15.Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, NerdyHippo LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost bookings, lost revenue, lost data, or reputational harm, arising out of or related to the Awaywell service.

These limitations apply only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and do not limit liability that cannot lawfully be limited or waived.
