TeoStays — Host Agreement

Effective date: September 19, 2026 Last updated: September 19, 2026

1. Parties and agreement

This Host Agreement (the “Agreement“) is between TEOSTAYS LLC, a New Mexico limited liability company (“TeoStays,” “we,” “us,” “our“), and the individual or entity creating a listing (“Host,” “you,” “your“).

The TeoStays name and marks are used under license from TEOSTAYS IP LLC. TEOSTAYS LLC is the contracting party.

By creating a listing or paying the Annual Listing Fee, you accept this Agreement. If you’re accepting on behalf of an entity, you represent that you’re authorized to bind it.

2. Definitions

Work Enabled. A Listing is Work Enabled when it meets the TeoStays Work Enabled Standard. The Standard requires three elements:

(a) Workspace — a desk or table meant for working at;
(b) Seating — a chair with back support, suitable for desk work; and
(c) Connectivity — usable internet at the workspace, adequate for consistent work.

The Standard also describes preferred elements — power within reach, light to work by, and room to work — which do not affect whether a Listing qualifies, but which you may declare and Guests may search on.

The full requirements are set out in the Work Enabled Standard, published at teostays.com/work-enabled-standard and incorporated by reference. We may update the Standard from time to time; Section 12 governs how changes apply to existing Listings.

Work Enabled status is based on Host declaration, not verification. We review Listings for plausibility and consistency, but we do not measure, inspect, or certify. Amenity information is presented to Guests as host-declared.

The version of the Work Enabled Standard in effect at your purchase or renewal applies to your Listing, as changed only in accordance with Section 12. Prior versions are archived at the same address.

Listing. A property record you submit describing an accommodation you offer.

Annual Listing. Your paid annual subscription entitling you to maintain an active Listing.

Annual Listing Fee. The annual fee described in Section 4.

Guest. A person who submits a stay request through the TeoStays Services.

Result. The inclusion of your Listing in results presented to a Guest whose stated criteria your Listing satisfies.

Results List. The set of Listings presented to a Guest, each linking to the Host’s own booking site.

Acceptance Range. The minimum and/or maximum price you’re willing to accept for a stay, used to determine whether your Listing is eligible for a Guest’s stated budget range. See Section 7.

Services. The TeoStays platform at app.teostays.com and teostays.com.

Amenity Declaration. Your statement that your Listing has a particular amenity, together with the provenance record of who declared it and when.

3. What TeoStays does — and does not do

We do: review Listings against the Work Enabled Standard; generate results for Guests from Guest-declared criteria; present Results Lists linking to your own booking site; and notify Guests when new qualifying Listings appear.

We do not:

Book anything. We are not a booking platform, reservation system, or channel manager.
Act as your broker or agent. We do not represent you, negotiate on your behalf, or hold authority to bind you.
Handle stay payments. All payment for a stay happens between you and the Guest, through your own systems.
Set your prices. Your rates are yours.
Guarantee bookings, inquiries, results appearances, or revenue. An annual listing buys a reviewed, publishable Listing — not outcomes.
Screen or vet Guests. We do not conduct background checks, verify identity, or assess creditworthiness.
Become a party to your agreement with a Guest. Your terms, cancellation policy, house rules, and dispute process are yours alone.

Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, or franchise relationship.

4. Annual listing, fees, and automatic renewal

4.1 Fee and term

The Annual Listing Fee is $239 per year, per Listing. If you offer more than one property, each requires its own annual listing.

Your annual listing begins when payment is received and runs for twelve (12) months.

4.2 Automatic renewal

Your Annual Listing renews automatically each year until you cancel. On each anniversary, we will charge the payment method on file the then-current Annual Listing Fee for another twelve-month term.

We will send you a renewal reminder before each renewal charge, to the email address on your account, at least 30 days in advance. The reminder will state the renewal date, the fee that will apply to the renewal term, and how to cancel.

4.3 Cancellation

You may cancel at any time, effective at the end of your current term, through your host dashboard — the same way you signed up. Cancellation takes effect immediately upon your request; we will not require you to call, email, wait, or complete additional steps.

If you cancel, your Annual Listing continues through the end of the term you’ve paid for, and your Listing remains active until then.

4.4 Refunds

The annual listing fee is non-refundable, except in the three circumstances below. We do not otherwise provide refunds or credits for partial terms, unused time, periods when your Listing is paused, or results appearances not received.

We will refund you in full if:

your Listing is declined at initial review and never becomes eligible to appear in results (Section 6).

We will refund the unused portion of your term, pro-rata, if:

we change the Work Enabled Standard in a way that makes your existing Listing non-compliant, you choose not to bring it into compliance, and you cancel (Section 12); or
we terminate your annual listing without cause, including if we cease operating the Services (Section 13).

4.5 Price changes

We may change the Annual Listing Fee for future terms. We will notify you at least 30 days before a changed fee takes effect, and you may cancel before the change applies.

4.6 Payment processing

Payments are processed by Stripe. Card details are entered on Stripe’s hosted checkout and never reach our systems. You’re responsible for keeping a valid payment method on file; if a renewal charge fails, we may suspend your Listing after notifying you.

5. Your Listing

5.1 Accuracy

You must ensure your Listing is accurate and current, including property details, photographs, pricing, availability, your booking URL, and — critically — your Amenity Declarations.

Amenity accuracy is the foundation of TeoStays. Guests select Listings based on required and preferred amenities. A Listing that misdeclares amenities defeats the purpose of the platform and harms the Guest who relied on it.

You must update your Listing promptly when anything material changes — including if an amenity becomes unavailable.

5.2 Amenity Declarations and provenance

Each Amenity Declaration is recorded with a provenance record identifying that you declared it and when. We may:

display provenance to Guests (for example, indicating an amenity is host-declared);
request supporting evidence such as photographs;
verify declarations ourselves or through a third party; and
correct, flag, or remove declarations we determine to be inaccurate.

Today, your declarations are recorded and labeled as host-declared; we do not independently verify them.

5.3 Your right to list

You represent and warrant that you:

own the property or have the legal right to offer it for stays;
comply with all applicable laws, including short-term and midterm rental regulations, licensing and permit requirements, zoning, HOA and lease restrictions, health and safety codes, and tax obligations;
hold any required licenses, permits, and registrations.

Tax is your responsibility. You’re responsible for collecting and remitting any applicable occupancy, lodging, sales, or income taxes. We don’t collect or remit taxes on your behalf.

Your laws are your responsibility. You are solely responsible for identifying and complying with every law that applies to your property and your Listing — including licensing, permitting, and registration requirements, and any requirement that a permit or license number appear in advertisements. Any information we provide about market requirements — field labels, notes, links, or examples — is informational only, may not be current or complete, and is not legal advice. You may not rely on it as a determination of your obligations. Market and area names on the Services are search groupings, not representations about municipal boundaries, jurisdiction, or regulatory status; you are responsible for identifying the jurisdiction your property actually sits in and the rules that actually apply to it, whatever market you list it under.

Licensure confirmation. When you create or renew a Listing, we will ask you to confirm that you hold all permits and licenses required to operate and to advertise the property, that the property may lawfully be offered for short-term stays at its location (including under applicable zoning and any district or land-use restrictions), that any permit or license number you provide is accurate and current, and that you will promptly update your Listing if that changes. Where a jurisdiction requires a permit or license number to appear in advertisements, we may require that number before your Listing publishes and may display it on your Listing.

5.4 Non-discrimination

You must comply with all applicable fair housing and anti-discrimination laws in accepting or declining Guests.

Listings may not state or imply any preference, limitation, or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, national origin, or any characteristic protected by applicable law. We may decline or remove content that does.

5.5 Content license

You retain ownership of the photographs, descriptions, and other content you submit.

Within the Services. You grant TeoStays a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, reproduce, and adapt for formatting that content for the purpose of operating the Services — including in Results Lists, listing pages, and periodic showcases.

Outside the Services — only with your consent. We will not use your photographs or listing content in advertising, on social media, or in other promotional material beyond the Services unless you give us separate, express permission. You can give that permission in writing (including through any control we make available in your host dashboard), and you can withdraw it at any time by the same means. Withdrawal applies going forward; it doesn’t require us to recall material already printed or distributed.

Duration. The license within the Services runs while your Listing is active and ends when your Listing is removed, except for copies retained in routine backups and archival records. Any marketing permission you gave ends when you withdraw it or when your Annual Listing ends, whichever is first.

You represent that you hold the rights to all content you submit, including photographs taken by third parties.

5.6 Lodging establishments

If your property is a licensed lodging establishment (a hotel, inn, or bed and breakfast), each Listing describes a room type rather than a single dwelling, and the Work Enabled Standard’s representative-unit provisions apply. References to permits and licenses in this Agreement mean the licenses applicable to your establishment.

6. Review, approval, and removal

Every Listing is reviewed before it can appear in results. We assess it against the Work Enabled Standard. We aim to complete review within 2 business days.

We may, at our discretion:

decline to approve a Listing that doesn’t meet the Standard;
request changes or additional information;
suspend or remove a Listing that becomes inaccurate, non-compliant, or the subject of substantiated Guest complaints; and
decline or remove a Listing for any lawful reason.

Approval is not a guarantee. We will tell you why a Listing was declined or removed, and give you a reasonable opportunity to correct issues, except where immediate removal is warranted.

Payment does not guarantee approval. If we decline your Listing at initial review and it never becomes eligible to appear in results, we will refund your Annual Listing Fee in full (Section 4.4).

Removal for legal compliance. We may unpublish or remove a Listing if we learn it may not lawfully be advertised — including on notice from a government authority. Where a law requires us to remove a listing within a set period after such a notice, we will comply within that period. Removal under this paragraph is not a termination of your Annual Listing; Section 4’s refund provisions govern any refund.

7. Results and pricing

7.1 How results work

We generate results from Guest-declared criteria — required and preferred amenities, market, dates, and budget range. Ranking is based on how well a Listing fits what the Guest asked for.

Ranking is not for sale. We do not accept payment for placement, and an annual listing does not purchase ranking preference. All active, approved Listings are eligible to appear in results on the same basis.

7.2 Your Acceptance Range

You may set a minimum and/or maximum price you’re willing to accept. We use this to determine whether your Listing is eligible for a Guest’s stated budget range.

Neither party sees the other’s range. The comparison happens on our servers. We do not disclose your Acceptance Range to Guests, and we do not disclose a Guest’s budget range to you.

Your Acceptance Range does not set your price. It determines eligibility only. Your actual rate is agreed directly between you and the Guest.

7.3 No guarantee

We do not guarantee any number of results appearances, inquiries, bookings, or any revenue. Appearing in results depends on Guest demand, your Listing’s fit with what Guests request, availability, and other factors.

8. Your relationship with Guests

When a Guest reaches your booking site through a Results List, any resulting transaction is entirely between you and that Guest. You set the terms, take the payment, provide the accommodation, and handle any dispute, damage, cancellation, or refund.

TeoStays is not a party, has no liability arising from the stay, and provides no guarantee, insurance, or protection program.

9. Data and privacy

9.1 Information we collect from you

Described in our Privacy Policy at teostays.com/privacy-policy, which forms part of this Agreement. In summary: your contact details, property and listing information, Amenity Declarations and their provenance, annual listing and billing identifiers, and internal review notes.

9.2 What Guests see

Today, Guests see your Listing information and a link to your own booking site. We do not give Guests your contact details, and we do not give you a Guest’s contact details.

9.3 Future information sharing — your consent required

We may later introduce features that share information between Hosts and Guests:

Guest request details to you — criteria, budget range, dates — so you can evaluate the request; and
Your contact details to a Guest — released only with your express consent, given at the time and revocable.

We will not release your contact information to any Guest without your consent. We will not begin any such sharing unless and until we have first (a) updated the Privacy Policy, the Guest Terms, and the Host Agreement; (b) provided advance notice; and (c) obtained consent where required by law. Nothing changes silently.

9.4 Aggregate and anonymised data

We may use aggregate and de-identified data about Listings, results, and platform usage to operate, analyse, and improve the Services, and to describe the platform generally. Such data will not identify you or your property.

10. Intellectual property

Ours stays ours. The TeoStays name, logo, marks, platform, scoring methodologies, and all associated intellectual property remain the property of TeoStays and its licensor, TEOSTAYS IP LLC. Nothing here transfers any interest in them.

Limited use of our marks. While your Annual Listing is active, you may state that your property is listed on TeoStays and use marks we supply for that purpose, in accordance with any brand guidelines we publish. This permission ends when your Annual Listing ends.

You may not copy, scrape, or reproduce the Services; extract or compile Listing data; reverse-engineer our scoring or ranking; or use the Services to build a competing product.

11. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The Services are provided “as is.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that they will produce results appearances, inquiries, or bookings.

Limitation of liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, TeoStays’ total liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement will not exceed the Annual Listing Fee you paid in the twelve months preceding the claim. We will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill.

Indemnification. You will indemnify and hold harmless TeoStays, TEOSTAYS IP LLC, and their officers, members, and agents from third-party claims arising out of your Listing, your property, your stays with Guests, your breach of this Agreement, or your violation of law — except to the extent a claim arises from TeoStays’ own breach of this Agreement or its own misconduct. We will notify you promptly of any claim subject to indemnification; you may control the defense with counsel reasonably acceptable to us, we may participate at our own expense, and neither party may settle a claim that imposes obligations on the other without that party’s consent.

Multiple claims will not enlarge the limitation of liability above. Nothing in this section limits or excludes liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud, or any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

12. Changes to this Agreement and the Standard

We may update this Agreement or the Work Enabled Standard. For material changes we’ll notify you by email at least 14 days before they take effect.

If a change to the Work Enabled Standard would make your existing Listing non-compliant, we’ll tell you what changed, give you a reasonable period to bring the Listing into compliance, and if you choose not to, allow you to cancel with a pro-rata refund of the unused portion of your term (Section 4.4).

Continuing to maintain your Listing after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

13. Term and termination

Term. This Agreement runs while your Annual Listing is active.

Your termination. Cancel any time under Section 4.3.

Our termination. We may suspend or terminate for material breach, inaccurate Amenity Declarations, unlawful conduct, or if we cease operating the Services. Except for material breach or unlawful conduct, we’ll give reasonable notice.

If we terminate without cause — including if we cease operating — we will refund the unused portion of your Annual Listing Fee on a pro-rata basis (Section 4.4).

On termination: your Listing is removed, it no longer appears in results, your marks permission ends, and we retain your data as described in the Privacy Policy. Sections 5.5 (surviving license period), 8, 10, 11, and 15 survive.

14. Notices

To you: by email to the address on your account. You’re responsible for keeping it current.

To us: by email to support@teostays.com and, for legal notices, in writing to:

TEOSTAYS LLC
c/o Northwest Registered Agent, Inc.
1209 Mountain Road Pl NE, Ste N
Albuquerque, NM 87110

Correspondence that is not legal notice may be sent to our mailing address at 500 4th St NW, Ste 102, PMB 2477, Albuquerque, NM 87102.

15. Governing law and disputes

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New Mexico, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

Informal resolution first. Before starting any formal proceeding, the party raising the dispute will email support@teostays.com describing it, and both parties will attempt in good faith to resolve it for at least 30 days before proceeding further.

Small claims. Either party may bring a qualifying dispute in small-claims court at any time.

Courts. Any dispute not resolved informally or in small claims may be brought in the state or federal courts located in New Mexico, under New Mexico law. This does not deprive a Host who is acting as an individual consumer of the mandatory consumer protections, or the home-jurisdiction forum, that such a Host is entitled to under applicable law. We do not require arbitration, and neither party waives the right to take part in a class or representative proceeding. The New Mexico courts are a permitted, non-exclusive venue: this Section does not prevent either party from bringing a claim in another court that independently has jurisdiction.

Either party may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief to protect intellectual property, prevent unauthorized access to or extraction of data from the Services, or prevent imminent harm, without first completing informal resolution. Applicable statutes of limitations are tolled during the informal-resolution period.

16. General

Entire agreement. This Agreement and the Work Enabled Standard are the entire agreement between us regarding your Listing. Our Privacy Policy describes how we handle information and applies to your use of the Services, but is not incorporated as a term of this Agreement.

Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement without our written consent. We may assign it in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.

No waiver. Failure to enforce a provision isn’t a waiver of it.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond reasonable control.
