These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and CabinyVacations LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our").

2. Description of Service

CabinyVacations is an online marketplace that connects property owners ("Hosts") with travelers ("Guests") seeking short-term rental accommodations in the North Georgia Mountains region. We do not own, manage, or control any listings. We act solely as a platform facilitating connections between Hosts and Guests.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Platform. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract.

4. Account Registration

To access certain features, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to update it as necessary. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

5. Host Terms

Hosts are solely responsible for their listings, including accuracy of descriptions, pricing, availability, and compliance with all applicable local laws, zoning regulations, HOA rules, and short-term rental ordinances. Hosts must maintain adequate insurance coverage. CabinyVacations charges a service fee of 8% on each completed booking, deducted automatically from the Host payout.

6. Guest Terms

Guests agree to use listed properties only for their stated purpose and to treat properties with care. Guests are responsible for any damage caused during their stay beyond normal wear and tear. Guests must comply with all house rules set by the Host. Unauthorized parties, smoking where prohibited, and bringing undisclosed pets are grounds for immediate removal without refund.

7. Payments and Fees

All payments are processed through our secure payment partner, Stripe. By making a booking, you authorize us to charge your payment method for the total amount shown at checkout, including nightly rate, cleaning fee, and applicable taxes. Payouts to Hosts are issued within 24 hours of Guest check-in, subject to verification.

8. Cancellation Policy

Cancellation terms vary by listing and are set by the Host. The applicable policy is displayed on each listing page and at checkout. CabinyVacations service fees are non-refundable once a booking is confirmed. Guests are encouraged to purchase travel insurance for additional protection.

Both Hosts and Guests may leave reviews after a completed stay. Reviews must be honest, accurate, and comply with our Content Guidelines. We reserve the right to remove reviews that violate these guidelines. Retaliatory or coerced reviews are prohibited.
