1. Introduction
By accessing or using the Hostiggo platform, users acknowledge that they have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. Hostiggo operates solely as a technology-enabled marketplace that facilitates connections between property owners (“Hosts”), service providers, and travelers (“Guests”). Hostiggo does not own, lease, manage, control, or operate any property or service listed on the platform, nor does it act as a real estate broker, travel agent, or service provider.
2. Eligibility & Registration
Only individuals who are eighteen (18) years of age or older and possess valid government-issued identification are permitted to register and use Hostiggo. Users agree to provide accurate, complete, and truthful information during registration and throughout their use of the platform. Hostiggo reserves the right to suspend or permanently terminate accounts that contain false, misleading, or incomplete information, without prior notice.
3. Hosts’ Responsibilities
Hosts are solely responsible for ensuring that all property listings are accurate, complete, and up to date, including pricing, amenities, number of rooms, guest capacity, availability, and location details. Hosts are responsible for maintaining appropriate standards of cleanliness, hygiene, and safety, and for ensuring that their properties comply with all applicable local laws, building regulations, fire safety standards, and health requirements. Hosts must obtain and maintain all necessary licenses, permits, registrations, and approvals required under state tourism laws, municipal regulations, and police verification rules. Hosts agree to honor all confirmed bookings unless canceled in accordance with the applicable cancellation policy selected on the platform. Any photographs, videos, or descriptive content uploaded by hosts must accurately represent the property, and by uploading such content, hosts grant Hostiggo the right to use it for platform operations, marketing, and promotional purposes.
4. Property Delisting & Termination by Hosts
4.1 Any request submitted by a Host to unlist, deactivate, withdraw, terminate, or otherwise remove a property from the Hostiggo platform shall be treated solely as a formal notice of intended delisting and shall not take immediate effect upon submission.
4.2 A mandatory notice period of thirty (30) days shall apply from the date on which the Host submits such delisting request to Hostiggo. Throughout this notice period, the relevant property shall remain active, visible, searchable, and bookable on the Hostiggo platform, and Guests shall continue to be entitled to access the listing and make reservations in the ordinary course.
4.3 The Host shall remain fully and continuously responsible for honoring and fulfilling all bookings confirmed prior to the submission of the delisting request, as well as all bookings confirmed during the thirty (30) day notice period. Any reservation confirmed before the effective date of delisting shall remain valid, binding, and enforceable, and must be fulfilled by the Host unless canceled strictly in accordance with Hostiggo's applicable cancellation policies and procedures.
4.4 The property shall only be removed, unpublished, unlisted, or deactivated from the Hostiggo platform upon the expiry of the aforesaid thirty (30) day notice period, or on such later date as may be determined by Hostiggo in accordance with these Terms. Hostiggo further reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to delay, extend, suspend, or otherwise modify the delisting process where reasonably necessary for operational continuity, legal or regulatory compliance, consumer protection obligations, dispute resolution, active or anticipated bookings, or any other booking-related, administrative, or risk-management reason.
