THIS IS WHY WE GIVE MUCH IMPORTANCE TO THE RULES OF COEXISTENCE THAT WE ASK OF BOTH OUR HOSTS AND OUR PARTICIPANT MEMBERS

THEICIRCLE RULES APPLY TO BEHAVIOUR IN THEICIRCLE ACCOMMODATION.

• Private bedroom
  The student is responsible for keeping the room tidy and clean. The Host will provide sheets, blankets and towels with a weekly change.

• Bathroom-kitchen – shared areas
  Bathroom and kitchen must be left clean and tidy after being used.

• Washing machine
  The Host makes the washing machine available to the participant with appropriate frequency.

• Keys
  Following a preliminary agreement, theHost may decide to provide the house keys to the participant, who will have to keep them carefully and never keep them together with the home address. In case of loss, the student will have to pay for the replacement of the lock and keys.

• Electricity
  Due to high energy costs and to cause minimal environmental impact, the participant is required to always turn off the lights/fans/air conditioners in the room when leaving the accommodation.

• Heating
  The times for turning on the domestic heating follow those established by the regulations in force in the Host's locality.

• Damages
  If something breaks or damages the participant is required to inform the Host who can ask for repair costs.

  It is not possible to smoke inside the Host's accommodation. At its discretion, the Host may indicate any areas where this is permitted, should the participant request it.

• Alcohol or other abuse

  Neither TheICircle nor the Host will be responsible for items lost by participants.

Following infringement by the participant of one or more rules of the terms of use and TheICircle regulations, including behavior that is contrary to the law or considered, in the sole discretion of TheICricle, to be seriously inadequate or inappropriate, for the decent, safe, correct and peaceful conduct of the period of hospitality provided at the Host, TheICircle reserves the right to terminate the participant's period of hospitality and ask him to leave the Host's accommodation.

In the aforementioned cases of infringement, TheICircle will not be required to reimburse the participant or find alternative accommodation.
