If you wish to stop using one or more Service, you need to notify Cloudforest within your User Account at least two (2) US business days prior to the start of the next Billing Period.

If a browser or visitor of one of your Product Listings requests a booking of your Product and becomes a participant in or attendee of one of the Products you offer (a “Participant”), any agreement you enter into with such Participant is between you and the Participant and Cloudforest is not a party thereto.

  1. DMCA Notice and Takedown Procedure

Cloudforest supports the protection of intellectual property and asks Cloudforest merchants to do the same. It’s our policy to respond to all notices of alleged copyright infringement. If someone believes that one of our merchants is infringing their intellectual property rights, they can send a DMCA Notice to Cloudforest’s designated agent using our form. Upon receiving a DMCA Notice, we may remove or disable access to the Materials claimed to be a copyright infringement. Once provided with a notice of takedown, the merchant can reply with a counter notification using our form if they object to the complaint. The original complainant has 14 business days after we receive a counter notification to seek a court order restraining the merchant from engaging in the infringing activity, otherwise we restore the material.
