Host Agreement

Host Agreement — Rules & Responsibilities

Version 2026-06-06-pricing

Please read this before using GuestApp. By accepting, you confirm you understand your responsibilities as a host.

What GuestApp is (and is not)

GuestApp is a guest-experience layer — messages, online check-in, house rules, and day-to-day stay operations. It is not a channel manager or booking system.

Your bookings, availability, prices, and OTA connections are managed through our booking sync service. GuestApp reads and writes reservation and listing data through that service. It remains the source of truth for calendars and channel connections.

Your core responsibilities

As the host (and data controller for guest data), you are responsible for:

  • Bookings & availability — correct calendars and inventory on all connected channels
  • Property information — descriptions, rules, photos, check-in instructions
  • Pricing — rates, seasonal prices, minimum stays, and fees
  • Account security — protecting your GuestApp login and guest data
  • Legal compliance — local rental laws, taxes, and registration
  • Guest communication — responding to questions and resolving stay disputes

Bookings — incorrect bookings & double bookings

Bookings enter through your connected channels (OTAs, direct website, etc.). GuestApp syncs them — it does not create bookings on its own.

Incorrect bookings are your responsibility, not GuestApp's. Wrong dates, property, guest count, or price usually mean outdated availability, an unsynced channel, or a manual error at the source.

Double bookings are your responsibility, not GuestApp's. They typically occur when availability was open on more than one channel. Verify on OTA websites that inventory is actually closed after changes.

Property settings, prices & text

Changes to prices, stay rules, check-in times, descriptions, photos, and channel mappings originate from you or your listing channels — not from GuestApp acting independently.

When you edit certain details in GuestApp, changes may be written to your channels on their schedule. If text, prices, or settings are wrong on an OTA, that is not a GuestApp defect — it reflects what was configured at the time of sync.

Checks, overviews & alerts in GuestApp

GuestApp gives you tools to stay on top of things — but you must still verify your own calendars:

  • Dashboard & bookings — today's arrivals/departures and all stays in one place
  • Properties — per-property settings, prices, texts, and sync status
  • Channel sync banner — warns when booking sync is offline or delayed
  • Sync health page — detailed connection status
  • In-app notifications — overdue tasks and operational alerts
  • Booking flags & prep checklists — track special requests and pre-arrival tasks

These features reduce risk but do not remove your duty to verify bookings and property data — especially after price changes or channel updates.

Third-party services

OTA links and calendar sync are configured as part of your GuestApp onboarding. GuestApp cannot guarantee uptime of OTAs or other third parties. Any separate subscriptions or terms for underlying sync services are handled by the platform operator, not by you directly.

Pricing & fee changes

GuestApp is a subscription service. We may adjust subscription fees with at least 30 days' notice by email or in-app message. Changes apply from your next billing period, never retroactively.

Our prices may change when underlying platform service costs increase materially — for example channel synchronisation, messaging, or hosting. You do not need a separate contract with those providers when GuestApp manages sync for you.

Our fees cover the full GuestApp service, not a one-to-one pass-through of any single vendor invoice.

If a planned increase is material, you may cancel without penalty before the new price takes effect. This section covers GuestApp fees only — your own guest pricing and OTA commissions stay your responsibility.

Data protection & liability

You remain the data controller for guest personal data. GuestApp processes it on your instructions.

GuestApp is not liable for lost revenue, double bookings, incorrect prices, guest disputes, or OTA penalties arising from incorrect data on your channels. Direct liability is limited to fees paid in the prior twelve months, except where law requires otherwise.

The full agreement is also available in docs/host-agreement.md. We may publish updated versions; continued use may require re-acceptance.

We'll email you a 6-digit code to confirm your address.
