HabiStays Terms of Service

HabiStays provides technology that helps hosts and guests manage furnished-stay listings, availability and reservations, private booking invitations, payments, host management tools, and reservation-related communications.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, HabiStays does not own, lease, operate, inspect, or manage accommodations listed by hosts. The host remains responsible for providing the accommodation. A host/guest reservation generally creates a direct relationship between the host and guest, with HabiStays providing technology and payment infrastructure.

• You must be at least 18 years old to use HabiStays accounts and services.
• You agree to provide accurate account and booking information and to keep it updated.
• You are responsible for protecting your login credentials.
• You are responsible for activity that occurs through your account with your authorization.
• HabiStays may restrict or suspend accounts for fraud, security risk, serious violations of these Terms, or when required by law.

Hosts are responsible for the accuracy of property details, listing type, availability, price, amenities, house rules, and material limitations. Guests are responsible for reviewing dates, the accommodation description, price, payment terms, cancellation terms, and applicable house rules before booking.

Reservation-specific terms shown for a stay form part of the agreement for that stay.

Mandatory guest-facing charges that are known and calculable at the time a lodging price is displayed will be included or disclosed in accordance with applicable pricing law. HabiStays does not add a hidden HabiStays guest checkout fee. The current HabiStays service fee is charged to the host on payments processed through HabiStays, not as a surprise guest fee at checkout.

Payments are processed using third-party payment providers, including Stripe. By making a payment, you authorize charges that you expressly approve or that are authorized by an accepted recurring or payment schedule for your reservation. HabiStays generally does not store full payment-card numbers.

Some reservations may include an initial payment, deposits, recurring installments, and partial final periods. Amount and timing are shown before you authorize payment. Additional payment-management authorization language presented in the product also applies.

A host may request an additional payment relating to an existing reservation. Before you pay, HabiStays displays the amount and the host’s stated reason for the request. Completing an additional payment does not by itself change the dates of the reservation. Receiving a payment request does not by itself prove that you legally owe the amount.

Reservation-specific deposit terms and applicable law govern deposits. Hosts remain responsible for legal rules applying to security deposits, deductions, accounting, and return deadlines.

Failed or overdue payments may trigger retry or update-payment opportunities, recovery notices, deadlines, and cancellation or stay-shortening where allowed by the reservation terms and applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms authorizes HabiStays or a host to take an action prohibited by applicable landlord-tenant, lodging, housing, consumer-protection, or other law.

Cancellation and refund rights depend on reservation-specific terms, host policy, and applicable law. Refund timing can depend on Stripe, the card issuer, and the guest’s bank.

Hosts remain responsible for determining tax obligations, registrations, licenses, and reporting unless HabiStays explicitly states that it collects or remits a particular tax.

Hosts must have authority to offer the property, keep listings accurate, comply with applicable law, take reasonable safety measures, honor confirmed reservations subject to agreed changes and law, maintain applicable insurance as required for their situation, and follow applicable nondiscrimination obligations.

Guests must provide accurate booking information, meet payment obligations, follow house rules, respect the accommodation and other occupants, and use the property lawfully.

HabiStays does not determine whether a particular stay creates a tenancy, leasehold, lodging relationship, license, or other occupancy right. Those rights and obligations are determined by the host-guest agreement and applicable law. Nothing in these Terms waives any right that applicable law does not permit a user to waive.

You may not use HabiStays for fraud, unlawful listings, false material information, account misuse, bypassing access or payment controls, distributing malicious software, misusing another user’s information, or other unlawful activity.

You retain ownership of content you submit (such as listing photos and descriptions). You grant HabiStays a limited, nonexclusive license to host, resize or process, display, distribute, and promote that content as needed to operate and market the applicable listing and Platform. HabiStays does not claim ownership of your photos or text.

HabiStays relies on service providers that may include Stripe, Supabase, Vercel, and Resend. Those providers may change over time. These Terms are not contingent on any particular provider remaining unchanged forever.

HabiStays aims for reasonable availability but does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service.

HabiStays does not independently guarantee the legality, safety, accuracy, condition, or suitability of host accommodations. These Terms do not waive non-waivable consumer rights under applicable law.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, HabiStays will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages arising solely from use of the Platform. Nothing in these Terms limits liability where limitation is prohibited by law.

These Terms may evolve. When we update them, the effective date and version label will change. Material updates may require notice and, where we decide it is appropriate, renewed acceptance.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Montana, without overriding consumer, housing, lodging, tenancy, or other protections that applicable law requires to apply.
