As a result, any part of an actual or potential transaction between a Traveler and a Vendor, including the quality, safety or legality of the properties advertised, the truth or accuracy of the postings (including the content thereof or any property or traveler review), the ability of Vendors to rent a vacation property or the ability of Travelers to pay for vacation rental properties are solely the responsibility of each User.
