Welcome to Chillin Stays. These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of ChillinStays.com, including any property listings, pages, forms, content, images, links, features, and services offered through the website.

Chillin Stays is operated by Salty Dog LLC d/b/a Chillin Stays (“Chillin Stays,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using this website, submitting a form, viewing a listing, contacting a property owner, submitting property content, creating an owner account, or otherwise using Chillin Stays, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use this website.

1. Chillin Stays’ Role

Chillin Stays is not a property owner, landlord, property manager, rental agent, real estate broker, booking agent, payment processor, escrow agent, tax collector, insurance provider, legal advisor, guest-screening service, or party to any rental agreement between a guest and a property owner, host, or property manager.

Unless Chillin Stays signs a separate written agreement stating otherwise, Chillin Stays’ role is limited to providing a property listing page and related website services.

2. Property Listings

Property listings on Chillin Stays are provided for general informational and marketing purposes.

Property descriptions, photographs, videos, amenities, rates, availability information, policies, house rules, maps, contact information, and other listing details are provided by the property owner, host, property manager, or authorized representative.

Chillin Stays may review, format, edit, or remove listing content, but Chillin Stays does not independently verify every detail in every listing.

Users should use care before sending money and should confirm payment instructions directly with the property owner, host, or property manager.

Unless otherwise required by law, mediation may be conducted remotely or in Guilford County, North Carolina.

If mediation does not resolve the dispute, the parties agree that any lawsuit shall be filed in the state or federal courts serving Guilford County, North Carolina, unless another venue is required by law.

Certain services may be governed by separate written agreements, including the Owner Listing Agreement, invoices, proposals, order forms, payment terms, or future booking/payment service terms.

If these Terms conflict with a separate written agreement signed by Chillin Stays, the separate written agreement controls only for the specific service or issue covered by that agreement.
