Bookings Under 31 Days:

For instance, a booking from Jan 1st, 2024, to Jan 18th, 2024, for $10/day and a $200 installation fee is calculated as follows:

$180.00 - ($10 Daily rate x 18 Days booked x 1 Space)
$200.00 - Installation fee
$49.40 - *HST on Booking
$38.00 - Adlo Fee
$4.94 - HST on Adlo Fee
= $472.34 Due Now

*HST on booking fee is calculated at 13% on both the booking amount and installation fee

Bookings Over 31 days:

Consider a booking from Jan 1st, 2024, to March 18th, 2025, for $465/month and a $200 installation fee:

$465.00 - First Month (Jan 1st, 2024, to January 31st, 2024)
$270.00 - Pro Rated Period (March 1st, 2025, to March 18th, 2025)
$200.00 - Installation fee
$121.55 - HST on Booking
$93.50 - Adlo Fee
$12.15 - HST on Adlo Fee
= $1,162.20 Due Now

* For bookings that don’t end on the same day as the start date you will be charged for any remaining stub dates upfront. In this case you will be billed from March 1st, 2025 to March 18th, 2025. This is to ensure you aren’t paying for days that you aren’t renting. Instead of paying for the whole month of March, you’re only charged for the 18 days of March that you’ve selected times the daily rate ($15/day in this case).

Once your booking is confirmed, the payment method you chose at booking will be charged the “Due now” amount using our secured payment platform. In the “Due Later” section, you will be provided with a payment schedule that breaks down all future monthly payments for your booking.

In order to keep our platform running we charge 10% to both the Ad Space Renter and the Ad Space Host. This fee goes towards transaction fees and growing the marketplace.

Full Refund:
To receive a full refund, renters must cancel within 24 hours of the booking confirmation. If your booking start date is less than 90 days away at the time of booking you will still get a full refund if you cancel in the first 24 hours after booking.

Partial Refund:
If a renter cancels at least 90 days before the rental start date, they will be refunded the installation fee, but will not receive a refund for the initial booking payment.

If a renter cancels anytime after that they will not receive a refund for their installation fee or the initial booking fee and will be charged 15% of the remaining term.

Encouraging extended bookings is made easy through our “Installation Waived” feature, providing hosts flexibility, options, and a more attractive listings. Here's how it works:

At Adlo, we understand the value of fostering longer bookings, and our Installation Waived Field is designed to make this process seamless. Here's a breakdown of the four options available

1. Never Waive Installation Fee:
Opting for this choice means the installation fee will never be waived, ensuring consistent compensation for hosts.

1 Month (30 Days):
Hosts can choose to waive the installation fee if a renter books for a duration of 30 days or longer, encouraging slightly extended commitments.

6 Months (180 Days):
A middle-ground option for hosts looking to incentivize longer-term bookings. The installation fee is waived if the renter commits to 180 days or more.

1 Year (365 Days):
For hosts seeking extended partnerships, choosing this option means the installation fee is waived for bookings exceeding one year (365 days). If the renter books for a period shorter than a year, the installation fee will apply.

By utilizing the Installation Waived feature, hosts have the power to tailor their offerings, providing an attractive proposition for renters while maintaining control over their compensation structure. Elevate your booking experience with Adlo's flexible and host-centric options.

Navigating Adlo's location selection tools is designed to be intuitive and efficient, ensuring your Ad Space is accurately positioned on our map. Here's a straightforward guide to ensure your space is perfectly positioned:

1. Building Address Location:
If your Ad Space is on a building, simply type the address in the search bar. Watch as the pin drop moves precisely to that location. For fine-tuning, easily adjust the pin drop to your exact position on the building

2. Non-Building Location:
For Ad Spaces not on a building, move the pin directly to your desired location. Alternatively, for a more efficient process, type the closest address in the search bar and adjust the pin from there to your Ad Space's exact location.

3. Longitude and Latitude Input:
If you have the longitude and latitude coordinates for your listing, enter them directly into the longitude and latitude fields. This precise method ensures accuracy in positioning your Ad Space.

1 Year (365 Days):
For hosts seeking extended partnerships, choosing this option means the installation fee is waived for bookings exceeding one year (365 days). If the renter books for a period shorter than a year, the installation fee will apply.

Coming up with the perfect price for your Ad Space involves a thoughtful consideration of three key factors: Impressions, Ad Space Type, and Size. We recognize that determining the right price for your Ad Space is a crucial decision. Here's a comprehensive guide based on three essential factors:

1. Impressions:
Consider the estimated impressions your Ad Space can generate. The potential reach and visibility play a significant role in determining the value of your space.

2. Ad Space Type and Size:
Factor in the type of Ad Space (e.g., static billboard, digital screen) and its dimensions. Larger spaces or those with unique features may command higher prices.

3. Market Comparisons:
Explore comparable Ad Spaces on our site to gauge market rates. Pricing your space in alignment with comparable listings helps ensure competitiveness and attractiveness to potential renters.

By incorporating these considerations, you'll be equipped to set a price that accurately reflects the value of your Ad Space. Adlo is committed to providing tools and solutions that empower you in the dynamic world of advertising pricing.

Our Future Solution
Recognizing the challenge of determining pricing, we're diligently working on an advanced pricing algorithm. This algorithm will consider Impressions, Ad Space Type, and Size to recommend a competitive price for your Ad Space. Stay tuned for this exciting development!

Coming up with enticing discount rates on our platform is a strategic move to stay competitive and encourage extended bookings. We empower hosts to strategically position their Ad Space by offering enticing multi-year discounts. Here's how you can set personalized discounts for 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, and 4-year bookings:

1. Multi-Year Discounts:
Stay ahead in the market by providing tailored discounts for different booking durations. Whether it's 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, or 4-year commitments, hosts can offer enticing savings.

2. Flexible Platform Features:
Utilize our platform's user-friendly interface to seamlessly set tiered yearly discounts. Incentivize renters to extend their booking by offering larger discounts the longer they commit.

Example Scenario:
Imagine your listing's list price is $1000/month. By setting discounts at 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% for 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, and 4-year bookings respectively, a renter committing to 2 years enjoys a discounted monthly rate of $800.

Adlo ensures a seamless tax process, offering hosts flexibility and support in handling their tax obligations. Here's a concise guide to managing taxes on our platform:

1. Setting Up Tax Information
Efficiently manage your tax information by configuring it in two convenient locations – on your business profile or during the listing creation process on the pricing page. You will be prompted for your GST/HST number and your legal business name.

2. GST/HST Handling:
If you're not registered with an GST/HST number, Adlo takes care of remitting the GST/HST on the booking amount to the CRA on your behalf. This ensures a smooth process, and you don't have to worry about the administrative burden.

3. GST/HST Registered Hosts:
For hosts registered for GST/HST, the tax on Booking amount will be credited to you at payout. It becomes your responsibility to remit the amount to the CRA. This approach provides flexibility for hosts managing their tax obligations.

At Adlo, we empower hosts with tools to refine their booking preferences. Here's a glimpse into how the Minimum Booking Period (days) field enhances your control over Ad Space bookings:

1. Definition:
The Minimum Booking Period represents the shortest duration, in days, that you are willing to accept for your Ad Space. It's a powerful tool to tailor your space's availability to align with your hosting strategy.

2. Configuring Your Preference:
Set the Minimum Booking Period to your desired duration when creating your listing. For example, configuring it to 365 days signifies that you only accept bookings for a year or longer.

3. Restriction for Renters
By configuring the Minimum Booking Period, you establish a restriction for renters. In the example of a 365-day minimum, renters will be unable to book durations shorter than the specified year-long commitment.

With the Minimum Booking Period field, Adlo provides hosts with a valuable tool to shape their booking landscape, ensuring that your Ad Space aligns perfectly with your hosting preferences. Seize control and customize your Ad Space bookings effortlessly.

Navigate the nuances of the Available Spaces field, a dynamic feature designed to optimize the management of your Ad Spaces with precision:

1. Efficient Management:
The Available Spaces field empowers hosts to oversee multiple identical spaces seamlessly under one listing. This is particularly useful when the spaces are identical, and renters do not have a specific preference for a particular Ad Space. Examples include digital billboards with multiple identical rotations or a building with multiple identically positioned and sized ads.

2. Precision for Identical Spaces
Utilize this feature when dealing with identical spaces, ensuring a streamlined and efficient process for renting and managing multiple spaces under a single listing.

3. Special Consideration:
For listings such as two-sided billboards, where renters often have a preference for a specific side, we recommend a more tailored approach. Create individual listings for each side to provide renters with the control and choice they desire.

Example below:
For this Ad space you could have 4 available spaces since they are all identical in size. If all spaces are currently vacant and an Ad Space renter books 1 space there would be 3 available for other renters. This also gives renters the ability to book more than 1 space to create a larger ad. If a renter wanted half of the entire ad space they would have to book 2 spaces. If they wanted to rent the entire space they would have to rent all 4 spaces.

The Available Spaces field on Adlo is your ally in navigating the diverse landscape of Ad Space management. Whether streamlining identical spaces or catering to renter preferences, this feature ensures your advertising assets are managed with finesse and precision.

1. Purpose of the Buffer Period:
The Buffer Period serves as a strategic delay for the start date of a booking. Because it can take time for the installation or removal of an ad, the Buffer Period function allows the host time to get things organized before the new ad goes live on the booking start date.

2. Unavailability Window:
For vacant listings, your space will be marked as unavailable for the duration specified in the Buffer Period.

3. Setting the Buffer Duration:
Specify the average duration, in days, from the moment you receive artwork from the renter to the completion of graphic installation.

Example Scenario:
If today's date is Jan 1st, 2024, and your vacant listing has a Buffer Period set at 14 days, it will display as unavailable today and become first available on January 14th, 2024. This strategic window provides renters with 14 days to ensure their artwork is installed before the booking start date.

The Buffer Period on Adlo is a tool designed to streamline your listing management, ensuring that the artwork installation process is seamless, coordinated, and factored into the installation process. Harness its potential to optimize your Ad Space functionality and provide renters with a transparent and efficient booking experience.

Explore the streamlined process and benefits of the auto-renewal option, a feature designed to simplify the extension of bookings on Adlo:

1. Host's Auto-Renewal Setting:
When a host enables the auto-renewal option for their listing, renters gain the flexibility to extend their booking for an additional 12 months seamlessly. The auto-renewal option is only available for renters that book an ad space for a period of 12 months or more.

2. Renter Notification:
Renters receive a timely notification at month 9 of their current booking, providing a convenient 30-day window to consider and respond to the auto-renewal option. If the renter doesn’t respond to the notification, the auto-renewal option will automatically be declined.

3. Renewal Acceptance Process:
If the renter opts to accept the auto-renewal, 12 months will be added to their existing booking. Renters are presented with two options: keep existing artwork or opt for a change.

4. Artwork Modification Option:
Renters choosing to change their artwork during auto-renewal will incur an additional installation fee, charged at the beginning of the renewed period.

5. Effects on Availability:
For listings with auto-renewal enabled, the system automatically reserves the renewal period in the backend. This ensures that the Ad Space remains reserved for potential acceptance by the renter.

6. Availability Reversal:
In the event of the renter declining the auto-renewal, the reserved months become available again for other potential bookings.

The auto-renewal option on Adlo is a powerful tool for hosts and renters, streamlining the process of extending bookings and ensuring a transparent and flexible experience for all parties involved. Harness the convenience of auto-renewal to manage your Ad Space effortlessly.

When the auto-renewal option is accepted, the booking gracefully extends by 12 months. However, it's important to note that this extension doesn't alter the monthly rental rate. If a renter initially books for 1 year and chooses to accept the 1-year renewal option, they maintain the same monthly rate for the extended period. The renewal doesn't trigger a transition to the 2-year discounted rate.
