Last Updated: May 3, 2025

Welcome to Guestdoors! These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Guestdoors website (https://guestdoors.com), including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through the platform (the "Service"), provided by Accelerated Ideas OÜ ("Company", "we", "us", or "our").

Please read these Terms carefully before you start to use the Service. By accessing or using the Service, or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, found at https://guestdoors.com/privacy, incorporated herein by reference. If you do not want to agree to these Terms or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Service.

1. Description of Service

Guestdoors provides a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that enables property owners and hosts ("Hosts") to create simple, shareable web pages ("Property Pages") for their properties. Hosts can connect their own Stripe accounts, manage availability, set pricing and policies, and share a unique link to their Property Page to accept direct booking requests and payments from guests ("Guests"). The Service facilitates the connection between Hosts and Guests but does not act as a party to any booking agreement.

2. Eligibility and Account Registration

To use the Service as a Host, you must register for an account ("Account"), connect a valid Stripe account, and provide certain information about yourself and your property as prompted by the registration form. You represent and warrant that: (a) all required registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; (c) you are of legal age to form a binding contract; (d) your use of the Service does not violate any applicable law or regulation. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account login information and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Account. Guests using the Property Pages are not required to create an account with Guestdoors.

3. Host Responsibilities

As a Host, you are solely responsible for:

  • Ensuring the accuracy and completeness of all information provided on your Property Page, including descriptions, photos, pricing, availability, and policies.
  • Complying with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and tax obligations related to your property and the acceptance of bookings.
  • Setting and enforcing your own terms, conditions, and policies (e.g., cancellation policy, house rules) with Guests.
  • Managing your Stripe account, including handling disputes, chargebacks, and refunds according to Stripe's terms and your own policies.
  • The safety, quality, and legality of the property offered.
  • Appropriately managing risks associated with payment options you enable, such as the "Pay at Property" feature, including potential no-shows or payment failures.
  • Marketing and driving traffic to your Property Page; Guestdoors does not provide discovery or marketing services.

4. Guest Responsibilities

As a Guest using a Property Page generated by the Service, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate information when making a booking request.
  • Review and comply with the Host's terms, conditions, and policies presented on the Property Page.
  • Fulfill payment obligations as agreed upon during the booking process, either through Stripe or directly with the Host, depending on the options offered.
  • Communicate directly with the Host for any questions or issues regarding the property or your booking.

5. Fees and Payments

Host Subscription Fees: Hosts are required to pay a recurring subscription fee to access and use the Service, as detailed on our Pricing page. Fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis and are non-refundable except as required by law. We reserve the right to change our subscription fees upon reasonable notice.

Guest Payments: All payments made by Guests for property bookings are processed directly through the Host's connected Stripe account or handled directly between the Guest and Host if the "Pay at Property" option is used. Guestdoors is not involved in the transaction between the Host and Guest and does not charge any commission on bookings. Hosts are subject to Stripe's transaction fees and Stripe's own terms of service.

Payment Disputes: Any disputes related to booking payments, including chargebacks or refunds, must be resolved directly between the Guest and the Host, potentially utilizing Stripe's dispute resolution process. Guestdoors is not responsible for mediating or resolving such disputes.
