Your homeowner's insurance will typically provide coverage when hosting guests. To ensure this, please consult with your insurance agent and acquaint yourself with your local laws. We've evaluated the provision of an insurance plan, and in most instances, using your own insurance proves to be more cost-effective. As we continue to enhance our platform and grow, we may revisit this strategy. Unlike others in our industry, we prioritize safety and transparency. Should any issues arise, rest assured, our team will support you towards a satisfactory resolution. For those requiring extra assurance, procuring additional insurance coverage is a feasible option. Proper Insurance is one company we have found to be a reliable choice in such situations.

In the event of damage, loss, or theft during an exchange, affected members should file a claim within 14 calendar days following the conclusion of the exchange. Claims should be sent via email to service@2Xcape.com, complete with a description of the incident, an estimated cost for the damage or loss, and any supporting documentation. Upon receipt, 2Xcape will promptly notify the member implicated in the claim via email. For a comprehensive understanding of our Deposit Management Service, kindly refer to our Terms of Use.

We acknowledge that circumstances can arise, necessitating the cancellation of an exchange. If an exchange is scheduled 30 days or more in advance, it must be cancelled at least 14 calendar days before the exchange date to prevent deductions from your deposit. If the reciprocal Xcaper incurs hotel or similar accommodation expenses due to your cancellation, those costs will be deducted from your deposit. For exchanges booked 30 days or less from the exchange date, cancellations must be made 72 hours prior to the exchange date to avoid penalties. Please note: 2Xcape strongly advises members to opt for refundable modes of transportation, such as airline tickets, as we cannot reimburse transportation costs nor deduct from the security deposit to cover these expenses. For a detailed understanding of our Deposit Management Service, kindly refer to our Terms of Use.

In the event a member's home fails to align with its listing information, we recommend initiating a conversation with the member via our platform to discuss the discrepancies. If the member is unreachable or unable to rectify the issue, and the issue is not severe, it's advisable to continue with the planned exchange. However, in case of significant discrepancies and inability to reach the member, please connect with us via email at service@2Xcape.com with supporting photographs and other relevant evidence. If it becomes necessary to arrange for hotel or similar accommodations, we will allocate a portion, up to the full amount, of the security deposit to cover these costs. Please consult our Terms of Use for comprehensive information about our Deposit Management Service.

Rest assured, your account will not be charged under normal circumstances. While we do capture your payment information, it is purely as a security measure. No funds will be debited, provided there are no late cancellations or any issues of property damage, loss, or theft. Furthermore, our platform employs advanced security measures, consistent with the highest industry standards, to protect your sensitive information. This includes secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption, regular vulnerability scanning, and a secure server infrastructure that ensures your data remains confidential and uncompromised.

All Xcapers must provide proof of address and a form of identification at the time of registration. Once your identity and address are verified, you’ll be deemed a “Verified Xcaper” on your profile.

Xcapers are solely responsible for determining any laws, rules or regulations that apply to them and ensuring that they understand and are in compliance with those laws and rules regarding offering their home, apartment, condominium, or any dwelling for an exchange.

This will happen, more often than not. Do not get discouraged, let them know that if they change their mind, you are interested. Leave it at that.
