[LEGAL ENTITY] are placeholders to fill in.Terms of Service
Last updated: [EFFECTIVE DATE]
These Terms govern your use of StayLane, operated by [LEGAL ENTITY — e.g., StayLane, Inc.]. By using StayLane, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
1. Eligibility & acceptance
You must be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract. If you use StayLane on behalf of an organization (such as a hotel), you represent that you are authorized to bind it to these Terms.
2. What StayLane is — and isn’t
StayLane is a platform that helps couples and hosts request, compare, and arrange hotel room blocks, and helps hotels respond. We are a facilitator, not a party to any agreement between a host and a hotel. The room-block contract is solely between the host and the hotel. We do not own, operate, or control any hotel, and we do not guarantee rates, availability, or that any hotel will respond.
3. Accounts
You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for activity under your account, including keeping your sign-in details and any access links secure. Tell us promptly at [PRIVACY CONTACT — e.g., privacy@staylaneblocks.com] if you suspect unauthorized access.
4. Hotels & partners
Hotel users agree to provide accurate proposal and contract information and to honor the terms they submit. Proposals and contracts you enter become available to the relevant host through the platform.
5. Contracts are between you and the hotel
Any room-block contract — including rates, attrition, cutoff dates, deposits, and cancellation terms — is a direct agreement between the host and the hotel. Review every term before signing. StayLane may generate or route documents for convenience but is not responsible for their content, performance, or enforcement.
6. Fees
StayLane is free for couples and hosts. Where we earn revenue, it is through a commission paid by the hotel on rooms booked, consistent with standard industry practice. [Confirm the exact fee/commission model and any hotel-partner terms with counsel.]
7. Automated processing & AI
Parts of the service use automated/AI assistance to parse the replies hotels send us. Its output is assistive and may contain errors or omissions. You are responsible for verifying all details — especially financial and contract terms — before relying on or signing them.
8. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the service for any unlawful purpose or to violate anyone’s rights;
- upload information you lack the right to share, or false or misleading information;
- attempt to access accounts, data, or systems you are not authorized to access;
- probe, scrape, overload, or interfere with the service or its security; or
- use the service to send spam or unsolicited communications.
9. Intellectual property
The StayLane platform, including its software, design, and content, is owned by [LEGAL ENTITY — e.g., StayLane, Inc.] and its licensors and is protected by law. You retain rights to the content you submit and grant us a limited license to use it solely to operate and provide the service.
10. Disclaimers
The service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any hotel will respond or honor any proposal. [Confirm disclaimer language with counsel.]
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, [LEGAL ENTITY — e.g., StayLane, Inc.] will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the service. Our total liability is limited as set out here. [Set the liability cap and any carve-outs with counsel — e.g., the greater of fees paid or a fixed amount.]
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless [LEGAL ENTITY — e.g., StayLane, Inc.] from claims, losses, and expenses arising from your misuse of the service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right — including claims related to guest information you provided. [Confirm scope with counsel.]
13. Termination & deletion
You may stop using the service at any time and request deletion of your account and data (see the Privacy Policy). We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms or to protect the service or others. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (for example, IP, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.
14. Governing law & disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING LAW — e.g., the State of ___, United States], without regard to conflict-of- law rules, and disputes will be resolved there. [Confirm venue, and any arbitration/class-action-waiver terms, with counsel.]
15. Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will revise the “last updated” date above, and material changes take effect as described there or as required by law. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
