Weekend Campouts Terms of Service

1. The Weekend Campouts Platform

Weekend Campouts provides an online platform through which independent individuals and businesses may create, publish, promote, and manage outdoor trips, camping experiences, gatherings, and related activities (“Trips”).

Users may participate in one or more of the following roles:

• A “Host” is a person or business that creates, publishes, manages, or leads a Trip.
• A “Participant” is a person who books, attends, purchases admission to, or participates in a Trip.
• A “User” includes Hosts, Participants, account holders, visitors, and anyone else who accesses the Platform.

Unless a Trip listing expressly identifies Weekend Campouts as the Host, Weekend Campouts does not organize, supervise, guide, operate, or control the Trip.

Hosts are responsible for the Trip services they offer. Participants enter into a direct agreement with the applicable Host when they book a Host-led Trip.

Weekend Campouts is not a campground, outdoor guide, outfitter, travel agency, transportation provider, lodging provider, equipment supplier, tour operator, food-service provider, or insurer merely because those services are advertised, booked, or discussed through the Platform.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding contract to create an account, book a Trip, or act as a Host.

A parent or legal guardian must book for and supervise any Participant under the age of 18 unless the Trip listing expressly states otherwise and the Host has approved alternative arrangements in writing.

By using the Platform, you represent that:

• The information you provide is accurate and complete.
• You are legally permitted to use the Platform.
• You are not prohibited from receiving or providing the applicable services.
• You will comply with these Terms and all applicable laws.

3. Accounts and Account Security

Certain Platform features require an account.

You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information.
• Keep your account information updated.
• Protect your password and login credentials.
• Notify Weekend Campouts promptly of suspected unauthorized access.
• Accept responsibility for activity conducted through your account.

You may not transfer, sell, rent, share, or assign your account without our written approval.

Weekend Campouts may request identity verification, contact information, tax documentation, payment information, business documentation, permits, licenses, insurance certificates, or other information reasonably necessary to operate the Platform or evaluate a Host.

We may suspend or restrict accounts containing inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, fraudulent, or unverifiable information.

4. Host Status and Responsibilities

4.1 Independent Hosts

Hosts operate independently and are not employees, agents, partners, joint venturers, franchisees, representatives, or contractors of Weekend Campouts.

Hosts do not have authority to:

• Enter into agreements on behalf of Weekend Campouts.
• Make representations or warranties on behalf of Weekend Campouts.
• Bind Weekend Campouts financially or legally.
• Represent that Weekend Campouts operates, supervises, approves, or guarantees their Trip.

Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, agency, partnership, fiduciary, or joint-venture relationship between Weekend Campouts and a Host.

4.2 Host Control of Trips

Each Host independently determines, subject to Platform requirements:

• The Trip itinerary.
• The location and dates.
• Eligibility and participation requirements.
• Activity level and physical demands.
• Equipment and packing requirements.
• Participant capacity.
• Trip pricing.
• Included and excluded services.
• Cancellation and refund policies.
• Transportation arrangements.
• Food, lodging, campground, guide, permit, and vendor arrangements.
• Safety rules and emergency procedures.

Weekend Campouts may provide templates, educational information, technology tools, suggested policies, or operational guidelines. These resources do not transfer responsibility for a Trip from the Host to Weekend Campouts.

4.3 Host Legal Compliance

Hosts are solely responsible for identifying and complying with all laws, regulations, rules, permits, licenses, registrations, and insurance requirements applicable to their Trips.

Depending on the Trip, these may include requirements relating to:

• Commercial use of public land.
• Guiding and outfitting.
• Campground reservations.
• Park permits.
• Business licensing.
• Transportation.
• Food preparation and service.
• Alcohol.
• Accessibility.
• Consumer protection.
• Seller-of-travel registration.
• Tax collection and reporting.
• Employment or independent-contractor relationships.
• Youth activities.
• Medical or emergency services.

Weekend Campouts does not provide legal, tax, licensing, safety, or insurance advice to Hosts.

4.4 Host Information and Listings

Hosts must ensure that every Trip listing is truthful, complete, current, and not misleading.

Each listing must clearly disclose all material information, including:

• The identity of the Host.
• Trip dates and location.
• Price and payment schedule.
• Platform or booking fees when applicable.
• What is included and excluded.
• Cancellation and refund terms.
• Physical requirements and activity level.
• Significant risks known to the Host.
• Required equipment.
• Transportation arrangements.
• Lodging or campsite arrangements.
• Accessibility limitations.
• Minimum and maximum participation requirements.
• Any required permits, waivers, insurance, or health documentation.
• Material itinerary limitations or expected changes.

Hosts may not publish false availability, fake reviews, misleading credentials, hidden charges, deceptive photographs, or inaccurate Trip descriptions.

4.5 Host Qualifications

Hosts must possess the skills, experience, judgment, certifications, and qualifications reasonably necessary to operate their Trips safely.

Where required by Weekend Campouts or applicable law, a Host must maintain current:

• First-aid or CPR certification.
• Wilderness medical training.
• Guide or outfitter licensing.
• Commercial permits.
• Driver licensing and vehicle insurance.
• Food-handling certification.
• Professional or general liability insurance.

Weekend Campouts may establish minimum Host requirements or request proof of qualifications at any time.

Verification by Weekend Campouts does not constitute an endorsement, warranty, certification, or guarantee that a Host or Trip is safe, qualified, lawful, or suitable for a particular Participant.

4.6 Host Insurance

Hosts must maintain insurance appropriate for the Trips they offer and sufficient to cover their activities, services, personnel, vehicles, equipment, vendors, and Participants.

Weekend Campouts may require a Host to maintain specified coverage limits and name Weekend Campouts and its affiliates as additional insureds.

When requested, Hosts must provide certificates of insurance and related policy documentation.

Weekend Campouts’ review or acceptance of insurance documents does not constitute a determination that the coverage is adequate or applicable to a particular claim.

4.7 Host Responsibility for Participants

Hosts are responsible for:

• Communicating Trip rules and expectations.
• Evaluating whether Participants satisfy disclosed requirements.
• Managing attendance and capacity.
• Obtaining required waivers and acknowledgments.
• Responding to reasonable accessibility requests.
• Addressing unsafe, disruptive, unlawful, or threatening conduct.
• Maintaining emergency contact information where appropriate.
• Establishing reasonable emergency and evacuation procedures.
• Reporting serious incidents to Weekend Campouts promptly.
• Providing services substantially as described.

Hosts may remove a Participant from a Trip when reasonably necessary for safety, unlawful conduct, harassment, material rule violations, impairment, or disruption. Refund eligibility in that situation will be determined under the Trip’s stated cancellation policy and applicable law.

5. Participant Responsibilities

Participants are responsible for reviewing the complete Trip listing before booking.

By booking or attending a Trip, each Participant agrees to:

• Provide accurate registration and health-related information requested for legitimate Trip purposes.
• Review the itinerary, activity level, risks, cancellation policy, and equipment requirements.
• Determine, in consultation with an appropriate professional when necessary, whether the Trip is suitable for them.
• Arrive prepared with the required clothing, equipment, medication, food, water, and supplies.
• Follow reasonable Host instructions and applicable laws.
• Respect other Participants, the Host, local communities, wildlife, private property, and public lands.
• Refrain from harassment, violence, threats, illegal activity, reckless behavior, and unwanted sexual conduct.
• Refrain from participating while impaired in a manner that creates a safety risk.
• Maintain any personal health, travel, auto, evacuation, or other insurance they consider appropriate.
• Pay for personal expenses and costs not expressly included in the Trip price.

A Participant may not misrepresent their age, identity, experience, physical ability, health needs, or eligibility for a Trip.

6. Outdoor Risks and Assumption of Risk

Camping and outdoor activities involve inherent and unpredictable risks.

These risks may include:

• Slips, trips, and falls.
• Uneven, unstable, steep, wet, icy, or rocky terrain.
• Extreme temperatures and changing weather.
• Wildfire, smoke, lightning, flooding, wind, and falling objects.
• Altitude-related illness.
• Dehydration, fatigue, hypothermia, and heat illness.
• Insects, plants, wildlife, and animal encounters.
• Water-related hazards.
• Equipment malfunction or misuse.
• Food allergies and foodborne illness.
• Limited cellular service.
• Delayed emergency response.
• Remote locations and evacuation difficulties.
• Vehicle accidents.
• Acts or omissions of Hosts, Participants, vendors, campground operators, land managers, or other third parties.

By booking or attending a Trip, Participants knowingly and voluntarily accept the ordinary and inherent risks associated with the Trip and outdoor recreation.

Participation is voluntary. Participants remain responsible for deciding whether to participate in any specific activity.

A separate activity waiver or release may be required. A Participant’s failure to sign a required waiver may result in cancellation of their participation under the applicable Trip policy.

Nothing in these Terms waives rights that cannot legally be waived.

7. Bookings and the Participant–Host Agreement

When a Participant books a Host-led Trip:

• The Participant agrees to pay the displayed price and applicable charges.
• The Participant agrees to the Host’s stated Trip policies.
• The Host agrees to provide the Trip substantially as described, subject to disclosed limitations and reasonable changes.
• A direct contractual relationship is created between the Participant and the Host regarding the Trip.

Weekend Campouts remains a provider of Platform-related services unless it is expressly identified as the Host.

Weekend Campouts may establish Platform-wide policies that supplement a Host’s policies.

Where a Host policy conflicts with these Terms or applicable law, these Terms and applicable law will control.

A booking is not guaranteed until payment is successfully processed and the booking is confirmed through the Platform.

8. Pricing, Fees, and Payments

8.1 Trip Charges

The total amount presented at checkout may include:

• The Host’s Trip price.
• Weekend Campouts service or platform fees.
• Payment-processing fees.
• Taxes.
• Add-ons or optional services.
• Other charges disclosed before purchase.

Participants authorize Weekend Campouts and its payment-processing partners to charge the selected payment method for all amounts displayed at checkout.

8.2 Platform Fees

Weekend Campouts may charge Participants, Hosts, or both for access to or use of the Platform.

Platform fees may include:

• Booking or service fees.
• Host commissions.
• Host subscription fees.
• Payment-processing charges.
• Administrative fees.
• Optional promotional or technology fees.

Applicable fees will be disclosed through the Platform, Host agreement, pricing page, checkout process, or another written agreement.

Unless required by law or expressly stated otherwise, Weekend Campouts fees are nonrefundable once the associated Platform service has been provided.

8.3 Payment Processing

Payments may be processed by Stripe or another third-party payment provider.

Users may be required to agree to additional payment-provider terms, complete identity verification, and provide bank, business, tax, or ownership information.

Weekend Campouts does not control a payment provider’s verification, security, payout, reserve, dispute, chargeback, or account-restriction decisions.

8.4 Host Receipt of Participant Payments and Platform Fees

For Host-led Trips, payments from Participants are processed for the benefit of and paid directly to the applicable Host through the Platform’s third-party payment provider.

Weekend Campouts does not receive, hold, control, or take possession of Participant funds intended to pay for the Host’s Trip services. Weekend Campouts does not collect the Trip price and later distribute or remit those funds to the Host.

The Host is the recipient of the Participant’s payment for the Host-led Trip and is solely responsible for:

• Establishing the Trip price.
• Providing the advertised Trip services.
• Fulfilling the Participant booking.
• Managing cancellations and Trip changes.
• Issuing required refunds.
• Responding to payment disputes and chargebacks.
• Paying applicable vendors and suppliers.
• Maintaining sufficient funds to cover refunds, disputes, taxes, and other Trip obligations.

In exchange for access to and use of the Platform, the Host agrees to pay Weekend Campouts the applicable subscription, service, commission, booking, technology, or other platform fees (“Platform Fees”).

Platform Fees may be:

• Charged separately to the Host’s payment method.
• Automatically deducted or transferred from the Host’s connected payment account.
• Collected through a separate transaction facilitated by the payment processor.
• Invoiced to the Host.
• Collected using another method disclosed in the applicable Host agreement or Platform pricing terms.

The method used to collect Platform Fees does not make Weekend Campouts the seller, merchant, organizer, operator, recipient, custodian, or owner of the Participant’s payment for the Trip.

The Host authorizes Weekend Campouts and its payment-processing partners to initiate charges, transfers, debits, or deductions for Platform Fees and other amounts the Host owes under these Terms.

8.5 Taxes

Hosts are responsible for determining and fulfilling their own tax obligations, including income, sales, occupancy, tourism, lodging, or other taxes applicable to their Trips.

Weekend Campouts may collect, report, withhold, or remit taxes when required by law.

Hosts must provide accurate taxpayer information and remain responsible for obtaining independent tax advice.

9. Cancellations, Refunds, and Trip Changes

9.1 Host Cancellation Policies

Each Host must publish a clear cancellation and refund policy for every Trip.

Participants are responsible for reviewing that policy before booking.

Unless Weekend Campouts publishes a controlling Platform-wide policy, Participant-requested cancellations will be handled under the cancellation policy displayed at the time of booking.

9.2 Participant Cancellations

A Participant who cancels may be responsible for:

• Nonrefundable Platform fees.
• Nonrefundable campground, permit, lodging, vendor, or reservation expenses.
• Cancellation charges disclosed in the listing.
• Payment-processing costs when permitted by law.
• Any other nonrefundable amount disclosed before booking.

Failure to attend, late arrival, early departure, removal for misconduct, or inability to participate due to personal circumstances does not automatically entitle a Participant to a refund.

9.3 Host Cancellations

A Host must promptly notify affected Participants and Weekend Campouts if the Host cancels a Trip.

Because Participant payments for Host-led Trips are collected by and paid directly to the Host, the Host is solely responsible for issuing all required refunds to Participants.

Unless otherwise permitted by applicable law or an extraordinary-circumstances policy, the Host must refund amounts paid for Trip services that the Host does not provide.

The Host is also responsible for:

• Communicating the cancellation clearly and promptly.
• Processing refunds within the timeframe required by the applicable cancellation policy and law.
• Paying any payment-processing costs, chargeback fees, penalties, or other expenses resulting from the cancellation.
• Resolving Participant payment disputes.
• Reimbursing Weekend Campouts for losses, expenses, or fees caused by the Host’s cancellation or failure to issue required refunds.

Weekend Campouts does not receive, hold, or control the Participant funds paid for the Trip and is not responsible for funding or issuing Host cancellation refunds from its own funds.

Weekend Campouts may assist with cancellation communications or facilitate refund-related actions through the payment processor, but the Host remains financially and legally responsible for the refund.

If a Host fails to issue a required refund, Weekend Campouts may, to the extent permitted by law:

• Suspend or remove the Host’s Trip listings.
• Restrict or terminate the Host’s Platform account.
• Charge the Host’s payment method for amounts owed to Weekend Campouts.
• Initiate an authorized debit or transfer through the Host’s connected payment account.
• Refer unpaid amounts for collection.
• Cooperate with the payment processor regarding disputes or chargebacks.
• Take any other action permitted under these Terms or applicable law.

Weekend Campouts is not responsible for reimbursing Participants for airfare, transportation, lodging, equipment, lost wages, or other incidental or consequential expenses resulting from a Host cancellation unless Weekend Campouts expressly agrees otherwise in writing.

9.4 Trip Changes

Outdoor Trips may require changes due to weather, trail conditions, fire restrictions, campground closures, permit limitations, safety concerns, transportation interruptions, government action, or other circumstances.

Hosts may make reasonable changes to an itinerary when necessary for safety or circumstances outside their reasonable control.

A material change should be communicated to Participants as soon as reasonably practicable.

Whether a Participant is entitled to a refund because of a change will depend on:

• The significance of the change.
• The reason for the change.
• The Host’s disclosed policy.
• Whether substitute services were offered.
• Applicable law.

9.5 Extraordinary Circumstances

Weekend Campouts may establish or apply an extraordinary-circumstances policy for events that make a Trip illegal, impossible, substantially impracticable, or materially unsafe.

Extraordinary circumstances may include:

• Natural disasters.
• Wildfires, smoke, flooding, or severe weather.
• Government orders or closures.
• Campground, park, trail, or public-land closures.
• Public-health emergencies.
• Civil unrest.
• Unavoidable transportation shutdowns.
• Permit cancellations or restrictions outside the Host’s reasonable control.
• Other circumstances that could not reasonably have been prevented or avoided.

Because Participant payments for Host-led Trips are collected by and paid directly to the Host, the Host remains responsible for determining and issuing any refund, credit, transfer, or other remedy required under the applicable Trip policy, Weekend Campouts policy, or law.

Weekend Campouts does not receive, hold, or control the Participant funds paid for the Trip and is not responsible for funding refunds, credits, replacement services, or other compensation from its own funds.

When extraordinary circumstances affect a Trip, the Host must:

• Notify affected Participants and Weekend Campouts as soon as reasonably practicable.
• Explain any material cancellation, postponement, relocation, or itinerary change.
• Apply the cancellation and refund terms disclosed at the time of booking, subject to applicable law and any controlling Weekend Campouts policy.
• Promptly issue any refund or credit that is required.
• Clearly communicate any deadlines, restrictions, or expiration terms applicable to a credit or rescheduled Trip.
• Cooperate with reasonable requests for documentation from Weekend Campouts or the payment processor.

Weekend Campouts may facilitate communications, provide administrative support, or assist with refund-related actions through the payment processor. Any such assistance does not transfer financial responsibility for the Trip or Participant funds from the Host to Weekend Campouts.

A Host may offer a reasonable substitute itinerary, rescheduled date, relocation, or Trip credit when permitted by the applicable policy and law. Participants are not required to accept a substitute or credit when applicable law or the controlling cancellation policy requires a monetary refund.

Weekend Campouts may review a Host’s handling of extraordinary circumstances and may suspend listings, restrict account access, or take other action under these Terms if the Host fails to communicate with Participants, apply the stated policy fairly, or provide a required refund or remedy.

Unless required by law or expressly agreed to in writing, neither the Host nor Weekend Campouts is responsible for a Participant’s separate airfare, transportation, lodging, equipment purchases, lost wages, or other incidental or consequential expenses resulting from extraordinary circumstances.

9.6 Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

Users agree to contact Weekend Campouts and the Host in good faith before initiating a payment dispute when reasonably possible.

Improper or fraudulent chargebacks may result in account suspension and collection activity.

Hosts are financially responsible for chargebacks arising from their cancellations, misrepresentations, failure to provide services, or violation of these Terms.

10. Transportation and Carpools

Unless expressly included in a Trip listing, transportation is not provided by Weekend Campouts.

Carpool tools, message boards, and ride coordination features are provided for convenience only.

Drivers and passengers arrange transportation directly with one another.

Weekend Campouts does not:

• Inspect vehicles.
• Verify driver qualifications.
• Confirm insurance coverage.
• Conduct motor-vehicle record checks.
• Supervise carpools.
• Guarantee a ride.
• Assume responsibility for transportation arrangements.

Drivers are responsible for maintaining a valid license, a safe and legally operated vehicle, and all legally required insurance.

Participants accept the risks associated with voluntary transportation arrangements.

11. Food, Alcohol, Allergies, and Dietary Needs

Hosts must accurately describe any food or beverage services included with a Trip.

Participants are responsible for disclosing material allergies or dietary restrictions when requested and for taking reasonable precautions to protect themselves.

Weekend Campouts cannot guarantee that food will be free from allergens or cross-contact.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, potluck contributions and shared meals are prepared by Participants or third parties, not Weekend Campouts.

Users who provide, possess, or consume alcohol must comply with applicable law and Host rules.

No User may provide alcohol to a minor, drive while impaired, or create an unreasonable safety risk through alcohol or drug use.

12. Health Information and Emergencies

Weekend Campouts and Hosts are not medical providers.

Information collected about allergies, dietary needs, emergency contacts, medications, mobility, or health conditions is intended to support Trip administration and emergency planning. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice or care.

Participants remain responsible for:

• Carrying prescribed medication.
• Managing known conditions.
• Obtaining medical clearance when appropriate.
• Maintaining health and evacuation insurance when desired.
• Informing the Host of information reasonably necessary for safe participation.

In an emergency, a Host or Participant may contact emergency responders or seek assistance for a Participant when reasonably believed necessary.

The affected Participant is responsible for medical, rescue, transportation, evacuation, and related expenses except where responsibility cannot legally be shifted.

13. Waivers and Required Documents

Hosts may require Participants to sign:

• Activity waivers.
• Assumption-of-risk agreements.
• Medical acknowledgments.
• Campground or vendor releases.
• Transportation waivers.
• Photography releases.
• Codes of conduct.
• Other Trip-specific documents.

Weekend Campouts may facilitate electronic signatures and store signature records.

Weekend Campouts does not guarantee the validity or enforceability of a Host-created document.

Hosts are responsible for obtaining legal review of their waivers and determining whether additional documents are required.

A Participant who does not complete required documentation by the stated deadline may lose their reservation under the applicable cancellation policy.

Each adult Participant must complete their own required waiver. A parent or legal guardian must complete documentation required for a minor.

14. User Conduct

Users may not:

• Violate any law or regulation.
• Engage in fraud, deception, or misrepresentation.
• Harass, stalk, threaten, discriminate against, or abuse another person.
• Publish defamatory, obscene, unlawful, or infringing content.
• Circumvent Platform fees or payment systems.

• Create fake bookings, listings, accounts, or reviews.
• Manipulate ratings or reviews.
• Use another person’s personal information without authorization.
• Sell or promote unlawful goods or services.
• Use the Platform in a way that creates an unreasonable risk to others.

Weekend Campouts may investigate suspected violations and take appropriate action.

15. Reviews and User Content

Users may submit photographs, videos, reviews, profile information, Trip descriptions, comments, messages, and other content (“User Content”).

You retain ownership of your User Content.

• Display Trip listings and profiles.
• Promote the Platform and listed Trips.
• Provide customer support.

• Account activity.
• Bookings.

• Cancellations.
• Trip changes.
• Safety information.
• Host and Participant messages.
• Customer support.

Transactional communications may be sent by email, SMS, telephone, push notification, or in-Platform messaging.

Marketing communications will be governed by your consent choices and applicable law.

Users are responsible for keeping their contact information current.

Weekend Campouts may review communications transmitted through the Platform when reasonably necessary to address safety concerns, support requests, fraud, policy enforcement, or legal obligations.

• Payment processors.
• Map and navigation providers.
• Campground reservation systems.
• Social networks.
• Insurance providers.
• Email and messaging platforms.

18. Safety and Incident Reporting

Users should immediately contact emergency services when there is an urgent threat to health or safety.

• Death or serious injury.
• Emergency evacuation.

Weekend Campouts may remove a Host, Participant, or Trip when we reasonably believe continued Platform access may threaten safety or Platform integrity.

19. Account Suspension and Termination

Weekend Campouts may warn, restrict, suspend, deactivate, or terminate an account when reasonably necessary because of:

• Violation of these Terms.
• Safety concerns.
• Fraud or suspected fraud.
• Chargebacks or unpaid balances.
• Repeated cancellations.
• Misleading listings.

• Conduct that may harm Users, Weekend Campouts, or third parties.

When practicable, we may provide notice and an opportunity to respond. Immediate action may be taken when safety, fraud, legal compliance, or significant financial risk is involved.

Users may stop using the Platform at any time. Account closure does not eliminate obligations relating to existing bookings, refunds, disputes, taxes, indemnification, or unpaid amounts.

20. Intellectual Property

The Platform and its original content—including its software, design, trademarks, logos, graphics, text, databases, and features—are owned by or licensed to Weekend Campouts and protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Weekend Campouts grants Users a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to access and use the Platform for its intended purpose.

Users may not copy, sell, license, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit Weekend Campouts intellectual property without written permission.

“Weekend Campouts,” associated logos, and related branding may not be used in a manner that suggests sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, or affiliation without written authorization.

21. Platform Availability and Changes

Weekend Campouts may modify, update, suspend, replace, or discontinue any part of the Platform.

We do not guarantee that the Platform will always be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or available.

Features may be unavailable because of maintenance, technical failures, third-party interruptions, emergencies, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Weekend Campouts is not responsible for losses arising solely from temporary Platform unavailability except where liability cannot legally be excluded.

22. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.”

• That a User will obtain any specific result from the Platform.

Any verification, review, badge, approval, or status displayed through the Platform is limited to the information reviewed and is not a guarantee.

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty exclusions, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

23. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Weekend Campouts and its owners, officers, directors, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, including:

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Weekend Campouts’ total aggregate liability arising from or relating to a claim will not exceed the greater of:

• The Platform fees paid by the claimant to Weekend Campouts during the six months preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or
• One hundred U.S. dollars.

These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory asserted and even when Weekend Campouts has been advised of the possibility of damages.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including liability arising from Weekend Campouts’ own fraud, willful misconduct, or other liability that applicable law makes nonwaivable.

24. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Weekend Campouts and its owners, officers, directors, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, and service providers from claims, demands, damages, judgments, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or relating to:

• Injury, death, property damage, refund, chargeback, or regulatory action attributable to a Host’s Trip or a User’s conduct.

Weekend Campouts may control the defense of an indemnified claim. You agree to cooperate reasonably with that defense.

25. Disputes Between Hosts and Participants

Hosts and Participants should first attempt to resolve Trip-related disputes directly and in good faith.

Weekend Campouts may, but is not required to:

• Facilitate communication.
• Request documentation.
• Temporarily hold payouts.
• Issue or recommend refunds.
• Apply Platform policies.
• Restrict an account.

Weekend Campouts is not a court, arbitrator, insurer, or collection agency and does not guarantee resolution.

Any assistance provided by Weekend Campouts does not make Weekend Campouts responsible for the underlying dispute.

26. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

27. Informal Dispute Resolution

Before filing a legal claim against Weekend Campouts, you agree to send a written notice describing:

• Your name and account email.
• The facts giving rise to the dispute.
• The legal basis for the claim.
• The relief requested.

The notice must be sent to: Weekend Campouts, 531 Northview Rd., Santa Barbara, CA 93105, hello@weekendcampouts.com.

The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for at least 30 days after receipt of the notice.

Either party may seek immediate temporary or injunctive relief when necessary to prevent imminent harm.

28. Arbitration Agreement

This section should be reviewed and finalized by Weekend Campouts’ attorney before publication.

Except for claims eligible for small-claims court or requests for temporary injunctive relief, disputes arising from or relating to these Terms, the Platform, or Weekend Campouts will be resolved through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable consumer or commercial rules.

The arbitration will take place in Santa Barbara County, California, remotely, or at another mutually agreed location.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.

No Class Actions

To the fullest extent permitted by law, disputes must be brought individually and not as a plaintiff or class member in a class, consolidated, collective, or representative proceeding.

The arbitrator may award relief only to the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to resolve that party’s individual claim.

Opt-Out Right

A User may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to hello@weekendcampouts.com within 30 days after first accepting these Terms.

The notice must include the User’s full name, account email, and an unequivocal statement that the User is opting out of the arbitration agreement.

Opting out of arbitration does not opt the User out of the remaining Terms.

29. Privacy

Weekend Campouts’ collection and use of personal information are described in the Weekend Campouts Privacy Policy.

Hosts who receive Participant information may use that information only for legitimate Trip-related purposes and must protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.

Hosts may not:

• Sell Participant information.
• Add Participants to unrelated marketing lists without proper consent.
• Use health or emergency information for unrelated purposes.
• Retain sensitive information longer than reasonably necessary.
• Disclose Participant information except as necessary for the Trip, safety, legal compliance, or with authorization.

Each Host is responsible for complying with privacy laws applicable to their own activities.

30. Accessibility and Nondiscrimination

Weekend Campouts supports inclusive access to outdoor experiences.

Users may not unlawfully discriminate based on protected characteristics.

Hosts should describe genuine physical, environmental, safety, and accessibility limitations accurately and respond to accommodation requests in good faith.

Nothing in these Terms requires a Host to make a modification that would fundamentally alter a Trip, violate the law, or create a direct and unreasonable safety threat.

31. Changes to These Terms

Weekend Campouts may update these Terms periodically.

When material changes are made, we may provide notice through the Platform, by email, or by updating the effective date.

Unless otherwise stated, revised Terms become effective when posted.

Continued use of the Platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Changes will not retroactively alter a confirmed booking’s material payment or cancellation terms unless required by law, necessary for safety, or accepted by the affected parties.

32. General Provisions

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, applicable Host terms, Trip policies, waiver agreements, and policies incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement concerning use of the Platform.

Severability

If a provision is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

No Waiver

Failure to enforce a provision does not waive the right to enforce it later.

Assignment

Users may not assign their rights or obligations under these Terms without written approval.

Weekend Campouts may assign these Terms as part of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, asset transfer, or similar transaction.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries

Except as expressly stated, these Terms do not create rights for third-party beneficiaries.

Electronic Agreement

Electronic acceptance, signatures, records, and communications have the same effect as written and signed documents to the extent permitted by law.

Survival

Provisions concerning payments, taxes, intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, indemnification, disputes, and any provisions that by their nature should survive will remain effective after account closure or termination.
