StayLocalX — Your local guide
By creating an account or using STAYLOCALX, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
STAYLOCALX provides a platform that allows: • Property owners to create digital guides for their guests • Local businesses to advertise in those guides through paid slots • Guests to access property guides and redeem exclusive offers We act as the principal seller of advertising services to local businesses, and engage property owners as subcontractors to provide the advertising inventory. We are not responsible for the content created by users or the quality of third-party services.
Properties that are first published on STAYLOCALX on or before 31 December 2026 are granted permanent founder access. Founder access means: the property owner will continue to have free use of the STAYLOCALX platform for those founder properties — with no monthly subscription fee, listing fee, publication fee, or other recurring platform fee — even if STAYLOCALX introduces paid plans for new property owners in the future. Founder access: • is tied to the specific property that was first published before the cut-off date, • applies for as long as the property remains active and in good standing on the platform, • is not transferable to another property or another account, and • covers only the platform's own subscription / listing fees. It does not cover third-party fees (Stripe processing, taxes, or fees charged by external services). The 70% revenue share for ad slots and coupon commissions described in Section 7 (Payments and self-billing) continues to apply normally to founder properties. STAYLOCALX (operated by G-HAT LLC) commits to honour founder access in writing through these Terms, which form a binding contract between the platform and each founder property owner from the moment the property is first published.
You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. Notify us immediately at hello@staylocalx.com if you suspect unauthorised access. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account.
As a property owner you agree to: • Only list properties you own or have permission to manage • Provide accurate information about your property • Comply with local laws regarding short-term rentals • Not publish misleading or fraudulent content in your guide We reserve the right to remove any listing that violates these terms.
As a business using STAYLOCALX to advertise, you agree to: • Only advertise legitimate products or services • Honour any offers or coupons published in the platform • Comply with advertising standards in your jurisdiction • Pay the agreed monthly slot fee through Stripe Slot fees are non-refundable once the slot is live for the billing period.
Payments are processed by Stripe. By using the payment features you also agree to Stripe's Terms of Service. Property owners receive 70% of slot revenue AND 70% of coupon redemption commissions. STAYLOCALX (operated by G-HAT LLC) retains 30% as a platform fee. Both shares — slot fees and coupon commissions — are routed via Stripe Connect destination charges and consolidated into a single monthly bank transfer to the owner's connected Stripe account on the 1st of each month. The platform never holds owner funds. Property owners must connect a valid bank account via Stripe Connect to receive their share of revenue. If a property owner has not connected a bank account, or disconnects their Stripe account, all revenue from their property's ad slots will be retained until a bank account is reconnected. STAYLOCALX is not responsible for uncollected payouts due to missing or disconnected bank accounts. Advertiser subscriptions are billed monthly. Coupon commissions are calculated based on confirmed redemptions and added to the advertiser's monthly invoice. All advertising transactions are B2B. Advertisers may be asked to provide a valid business tax number (CIF/NIF/VAT/EIN) at checkout. Self-billing arrangement: as a property owner you authorise G-HAT LLC to issue self-billed invoices on your behalf for the 70% revenue share you receive. You agree not to issue your own invoice for the same supplies. You may revoke this self-billing mandate at any time by contacting hello@staylocalx.com, in which case future payouts will be paused until an alternative invoicing arrangement is agreed.
You are solely responsible for declaring all income received through the platform to your local tax authority and for complying with applicable tax obligations in your country of residence. The platform issues self-billed invoices to property owners as a record of payments made under the self-billing mandate, but does not act as your tax agent. STAYLOCALX (G-HAT LLC) does not assume responsibility for your personal income tax filings, social security contributions, business registration obligations, or any other personal tax matters. If you are an individual property owner (not a registered business), you remain personally responsible for assessing whether your platform earnings constitute taxable income or trigger any registration requirement under your local rules (for example, registering as autónomo in Spain or self-employed in other jurisdictions). The platform makes no representation about whether your activity meets these thresholds. If you are a business (sole trader or company) with a valid tax ID, the self-billed invoices you receive will be issued under the reverse-charge mechanism where applicable (e.g. EU B2B services), and you are responsible for accounting for the tax in your VAT return. If you have any doubt about your tax obligations, consult a qualified tax adviser in your jurisdiction.
You may not: • Use the platform for illegal purposes • Attempt to reverse-engineer or scrape the platform • Publish content that is offensive, discriminatory, or harmful • Create fake accounts or impersonate others • Interfere with the platform's technical infrastructure
STAYLOCALX and its logo are trademarks of G-HAT LLC. Content you upload (photos, descriptions) remains yours, but you grant us a licence to display it on the platform.
STAYLOCALX is provided 'as is'. We are not liable for: • Loss of data or revenue • Actions of third-party businesses or property owners • Interruption of service • Inaccurate content published by users • Tax penalties or assessments arising from your failure to declare income received through the platform Our total liability is limited to the fees paid by you in the 3 months prior to the claim. The Founder access commitment in Section 3 is excluded from this limitation: it remains binding regardless of any fees paid.
We may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these terms. You may delete your account at any time from the Account settings. Founder access (Section 3) remains in effect for any property that has not violated these terms, even if the owner closes their account and creates a new one with the same email — provided the property is reactivated under the same ownership and identity.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Mexico, USA. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Bernalillo County, New Mexico, unless local consumer protection law in your jurisdiction requires otherwise. Last updated: April 2026
