The obligation covers not only the listing price but also a defined and open-ended set of additional charges identified at checkout, meaning the total cost owed is broader than the advertised listing price alone.
The updated Terms of Service no longer explicitly state that users must be at least 18 years old to book a reservation or host a place on Airbnb. Previously, this age requirement was stated as a binding community policy. The removal of this language creates operational uncertainty about Airbnb's age eligibility requirements and enforcement. While Airbnb's actual booking and hosting practices may not have changed, users can no longer point to an explicit contractual age restriction in the published terms.
