About these Terms
Welcome to Booktific. These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) explain the rules for using booktific.com and the services on it (the “Platform”). The Platform is run by [LEGAL BUSINESS NAME] of [BUSINESS ADDRESS] (“Booktific”, “we”, “us”).
By using the Platform, making a booking, or creating a host account, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform.
You must be at least 18 years old to book or to list. If you are younger, please ask a parent or guardian to do it for you.
What Booktific does, and what it does not
Booktific is an online platform where owners list places to stay and cars for rent, and where guests can find them and send booking requests directly to the owners.
- We are not the owner or the provider. Each listing is the owner’s own. The booking and the rental are an agreement between the guest and the owner. Booktific is not a party to that agreement.
- We do not take a commission from bookings. Owners pay a flat plan fee to use the Platform (see section 5).
- We do not hold your money. Guests pay the owner directly, for example by GCash or bank transfer.
- We do not guarantee that a listing is accurate, safe, or available, or that an owner will accept a booking.
For guests
Booking
You can book without creating an account. When you send a booking, you give your name, mobile number, and email, you choose how you will pay, and you upload your proof of payment. Please give correct information.
Sending a booking is a request. Your booking is confirmed only when the owner approves it and you receive the confirmation by email. The owner has 2 hours to review your booking, and your dates are held during that time. If the owner does not approve in time, or declines, your dates are released.
Paying
You pay the owner directly, and the owner decides the price and the amount to pay. Please read the listing and ask the owner about the full price before you pay. Keep your proof of payment until your booking is confirmed.
Changes, cancellations, and refunds
Each owner decides whether to move your dates, to refuse a change, or to refund any amount. [Optional: add a standard refund rule for guests, or keep this wording.] Please contact the owner about any change.
Your behavior
Please respect the owner’s property, house rules, and neighbors. You are responsible for any damage you cause and for following the law. Rental cars may require a valid driver’s license.
For owners (hosts)
Your account
Give true and complete information, keep your password safe, and tell us if someone uses your account without your permission. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
Your listings
- You must have the legal right to rent out the place or the car, and all the permits, licenses, accreditations, and insurance the law requires. These are your responsibility, not ours.
- Your photos, descriptions, rates, and availability must be accurate and up to date.
- If you approve a booking, please honor it. If you cannot, tell the guest early and arrange a fair solution, such as a refund.
- You are responsible for your own taxes and for any receipts or invoices you give to guests.
Guests’ information
You may use a guest’s information only to handle that guest’s booking. Do not sell it, share it, or use it for unrelated marketing. See our Privacy Policy.
Plans, fees, and the free trial
Owners pay a flat monthly plan. Current prices, in Philippine pesos:
- Starter: ₱299 per month. Up to 20 bookings per month and up to 3 listings.
- Growth: ₱599 per month. Up to 60 bookings per month and up to 10 listings. Connecting your own domain has a one-time setup fee of ₱5,000.

- Advance: a fully branded website and booking system built for you, with a one-time build fee of ₱45,000, then ₱1,899 per month.
Free trial. Starter, Growth, and Pro start with a 30-day free trial. After the trial, you pay the monthly price of the plan you chose.
No commission. We do not take a percentage of your bookings.
Payment, changes, and cancellation. [How plan fees are paid, for example GCash, bank transfer, or card, and when they are due.] We will tell you before a price change applies to you. You may change your plan at any time, and [how cancellation works and whether a month already paid is refundable].
Marketplace listing
When you subscribe, your listing can appear in the Booktific marketplace, and it gets its own page at booktific.com/yourname. We may decide how listings are shown, for example in search results, and we may remove or hide a listing that breaks these Terms, that is misleading, or that is reported and found to be unsafe or unlawful.
Acceptable use
Everyone who uses the Platform agrees not to:
- give false or misleading information, or pretend to be someone else;
- post a listing for a place or car you do not have the right to rent out;
- upload a fake or edited proof of payment, or commit fraud or scams;
- harass, threaten, or discriminate against other people;
- copy, scrape, or attack the Platform, or try to break its security;
- use the Platform for anything unlawful.
Photos and content you upload
You keep ownership of your photos and texts. By uploading them, you allow Booktific to store them and show them on the Platform and in our promotions for the Platform, for as long as your listing is active. You promise that you have the right to upload them and that they do not break anyone’s rights.
Our responsibility
We work to keep the Platform running, but we cannot promise that it will always be available or free of errors. The Platform is provided “as is”.
Because the booking is between the guest and the owner, Booktific is not responsible for what owners and guests do or fail to do, including the condition of a place or car, injuries, losses, delays, cancellations, or disputes between them. Please use your judgment and contact the other party first.
To the extent the law allows, our total responsibility to you for any claim about the Platform is limited to the amount you paid Booktific in the 3 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms removes a right you have under Philippine law that cannot be removed. [A lawyer should review this section.]
Suspension and ending
You may stop using the Platform at any time. We may suspend or end an account or remove a listing if these Terms are broken, if there is a safety or fraud concern, or if the law requires it. If we end a paid plan for our own reasons, we will [explain what happens to fees already paid].
Your personal information
How we collect and use personal information is explained in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. When we make an important change, we will post the new version here with a new date, and we will tell owners by email. If you keep using the Platform after the change, you accept the new Terms.
Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. If we cannot settle a dispute by talking first, it will be brought to the proper courts of [CITY, for example Cebu City], unless the law says otherwise.
