Terms of Service
Effective date: 1 August 2026
Welcome to PoolStayz (“we”, “our”, “the Platform”). By accessing or using poolstayz.com you agree to these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully before making or accepting a booking.
1. The Platform
PoolStayz is an online marketplace that connects guests seeking short-term pool-stay accommodation with hosts who list their properties. We are not a party to the agreement between host and guest; we provide the technology to facilitate those bookings.
2. Eligibility
- You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or make a booking.
- By registering, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and complete.
- One person may not maintain more than one guest account.
3. Bookings & Payments
- All prices are in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) and inclusive of any applicable taxes unless stated otherwise.
- Bookings are confirmed only after full payment is received and a confirmation email is sent.
- Payments are processed via Billplz, a licensed Malaysian payment gateway. PoolStayz does not store card details.
- A platform service fee of 10% is charged on each booking. Hosts receive 90% of the booking amount.

- Less than 7 days before check-in: No refund.
Refunds are processed within 7–14 business days to the original payment method.
5. Host Responsibilities
- Hosts must ensure listings are accurate, up-to-date, and comply with local laws and council requirements.
- Hosts are responsible for maintaining the property in a safe and clean condition.

- Harass, threaten, or discriminate against other users.
- Upload content that infringes intellectual property rights.
8. Intellectual Property
All content on PoolStayz — including logos, design, and software — is owned by or licensed to PoolStayz. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without written permission.
9. Limitation of Liability
PoolStayz is provided “as is”. To the maximum extent permitted by Malaysian law, we exclude all liability for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses arising from your use of the platform, including disputes between guests and hosts.
10. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Malaysia. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Malaysia.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify registered users by email at least 14 days before material changes take effect. Continued use of the platform after that date constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
