Terms & Conditions
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Lebanon Locals platform, including our website, mobile applications, and related services (collectively, the “Platform”). By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms, which form a legally binding agreement between you and Lebanon Locals (“we,” “us,” or “our”). If you do not agree with these Terms, you must not use the Platform.
These Terms apply to all users of the Platform, including guests, hosts, and visitors. Additional terms, such as our Privacy Policy, Guest Refund Policy, Cancellation Policy, and Host Guarantee, are incorporated by reference and form part of this agreement.
1. Use of the Platform
Lebanon Locals provides an online marketplace that enables users to publish, discover, book, and experience accommodations and locally curated activities in Lebanon. You may only use the Platform if you are at least 18 years of age and capable of entering into legally binding contracts.

Lebanon Locals reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that pose a risk to the community.
3. Bookings and Payments
When you make a booking as a guest, you are entering into a direct contractual relationship with the host. Lebanon Locals acts solely as an intermediary and payment facilitator. Prices, availability, and cancellation policies are determined by the host unless stated otherwise.
Guests agree to pay all charges associated with a booking, including taxes and applicable service fees. Payments are processed through third-party providers such as Stripe or PayPal. Lebanon Locals is not liable for delays or errors caused by payment processors.
Hosts are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of their listings, honoring confirmed bookings, and maintaining minimum quality standards. Failure to do so may result in penalties, removal from the Platform, or financial liability under the Guest Refund Policy.
4. Cancellations and Refunds
Cancellation terms are governed by the Lebanon Locals Cancellation Policy. Guests and hosts agree to abide by the applicable cancellation rules associated with each booking. Refund eligibility in the event of a Travel Issue is governed by our Guest Refund Policy.
Lebanon Locals reserves the right to modify or override cancellation terms in situations involving safety, fraud, emergencies, or force majeure.
5. Host Responsibilities
If you are a host, you agree to provide a clean, safe, and accurately described space or experience. You are solely responsible for complying with local laws, tax regulations, and any licenses or permits required to host guests.
You also agree to respond to guest inquiries in a timely manner, handle complaints with professionalism, and respect the rights of all guests using your property.
By listing on Lebanon Locals, you grant us permission to use your listing content (photos, descriptions, and reviews) for marketing and promotional purposes across our channels.
