Terms of Service

1. About These Terms

Welcome to StayMee.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the StayMee website, pre-launch services, forms, communications, programs, content, and related online services operated under the StayMee name ("StayMee", "we", "us", or "our").

By accessing or using the StayMee website ("Website"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Website or submit information through it.

These Terms are intended to apply to StayMee's current pre-launch website and may be supplemented or replaced by additional terms when StayMee launches its marketplace, booking, payment, partner, traveler, transportation, experience, or other services.

2. What StayMee Is

StayMee is being developed as a Nepal-focused travel marketplace designed to connect travelers with accommodation providers, experiences, travel-related businesses, and other participating partners.

StayMee's vision is to provide travelers with a more connected way to discover places and travel services in Nepal while helping local businesses reach and serve travelers.

The Website currently serves primarily as a pre-launch and information platform.

At this stage, the Website may provide:

• information about StayMee;
• information about the StayMee marketplace being developed;
• information about participating or prospective partners;
• travel-related content;
• traveler waitlist registration;
• Founding Traveler participation;
• Founding Partner applications;
• updates and communications;
• links to StayMee's social-media channels; and
• other pre-launch engagement features.

3. StayMee Is Currently Pre-Launch

StayMee is currently preparing its marketplace for launch.

Unless expressly stated otherwise on the Website, StayMee does not currently accept bookings, reservations, accommodation payments, experience payments, transportation payments, or other travel-service purchases through this Website.

Any product interfaces, marketplace screens, destination examples, property examples, demonstrations, illustrations, or other materials shown on the Website are for demonstration, informational, or promotional purposes and may not represent currently available inventory.

A product preview does not constitute an offer to sell or a confirmation that any particular property, experience, service, destination, price, or availability will be available when StayMee launches.

4. Future Marketplace Services

When the StayMee marketplace launches, additional terms may apply to:

• accommodation bookings;
• experiences and activities;
• transportation or mobility services;
• property and business listings;
• payments;
• cancellations;
• refunds;
• changes to bookings;
• partner obligations;
• traveler obligations;
• reviews and ratings;
• promotions;
• commissions;
• loyalty or rewards programs; and
• other marketplace services.

StayMee may publish separate Booking Terms, Partner Terms, Cancellation and Refund Policies, Payment Terms, Community Guidelines, or other service-specific policies before those services become available.

Where applicable, those additional terms will govern the relevant transaction or service.

5. Eligibility

You may use the Website only if you are legally capable of entering into an agreement under applicable law.

If you submit information on behalf of another person, business, organization, or entity, you represent that you have the authority to provide that information and act on its behalf.

You agree to provide information that is accurate, current, and not misleading.
