Terms & Conditions

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and SeeMyHotels ("SeeMyHotels", "we", "us", "our") governing your access to and use of seemyhotels.com and any related apps or services (together, the "Service"). By creating an account, browsing the directory, submitting a listing, or otherwise using the Service, you accept these Terms in full. If you don't agree with them, don't use the Service.

2. What SeeMyHotels is — and isn't

SeeMyHotels is a directory of stays, cafés, street food, and restaurants ("Listings"), built from information contributors add and our team reviews before publishing. SeeMyHotels is not a booking agent, travel agent, property manager, or the accommodation or food provider itself, and no Listing on the Service is an offer, reservation, or booking made by us. We don't process payments, bookings, or reservations on behalf of any Listing, and any arrangement you make with a property, café, or restaurant is made directly and solely between you and that business. We are not a party to that arrangement and have no responsibility for its performance.

3. Accounts

You must provide accurate information when creating an account and keep your login credentials confidential. You're responsible for all activity under your account. We may suspend or terminate an account at our discretion, including for violating these Terms, submitting false or misleading information, or any activity we reasonably believe is harmful to the Service, other users, or a Listing.

Minimum age. The Service is not directed at, and must not be used by, anyone under 16 years old. By creating an account you represent that you are at least 16. We have no reliable way to verify a visitor's age — like every service of this kind, we rely on your own representation at signup, not a technical age-verification system. If we learn or have reason to believe an account belongs to someone under 16, we will remove that account and any content associated with it.

4. Contributor and user-submitted content

Anyone can submit a Listing through Contribute. Our team reviews submissions before they go live, but that review is a check for plausibility and basic completeness — we do not independently verify every detail a contributor provides, and we make no representation as to the accuracy, completeness, or currency of any Listing. Prices, availability, hours, amenities, and descriptions can and do change after a Listing is added. Always confirm details directly with a property, café, or restaurant before booking, visiting, or relying on anything shown here.

By submitting content (a Listing, a photo, a review, or anything else) you represent that you have the right to submit it, that it doesn't infringe anyone else's rights, and you grant SeeMyHotels a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, display, reproduce, and distribute it as part of operating the Service. You remain responsible for what you submit. We may remove, edit, or decline to publish any submission at our discretion, without notice and without liability to you for doing so.

5. The "Verified" badge

A Listing marked Verified means our team has reviewed the submitted information against our own basic publishing checks at the time it was reviewed. It is not an inspection of the property, café, or restaurant, not an endorsement or recommendation by SeeMyHotels, and not a guarantee of quality, safety, accuracy, availability, or that the Listing still matches what was originally reviewed. Conditions at any Listing can change at any time after it was verified. Don't treat the Verified badge as a substitute for your own judgment or for confirming directly with the business before you visit or make arrangements.

6. Claiming a listing

Property owners and operators can request to claim their own Listing after registering. Claims are reviewed by our team before a Listing is marked as owner-managed. Claiming a Listing does not make its owner or operator an employee, agent, partner, or representative of SeeMyHotels, and does not make SeeMyHotels responsible for anything that owner or operator does or fails to do, on or off the Service.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to help anyone else:

• submit false, misleading, defamatory, or fraudulent information in a Listing, review, or account;
• impersonate any person or business, or misrepresent your affiliation with one;
• scrape, harvest, or bulk-extract data from the Service other than through means we explicitly permit;
• interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its infrastructure;
• use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service and every Listing on it are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or that the Service will be accurate, complete, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. See our Disclaimer for more detail on what we don't take responsibility for.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SeeMyHotels and its owners, staff, and contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Service, any Listing, or any dealings between you and a property, café, or restaurant found through the Service — even if we've been advised of the possibility of such damages. Where liability cannot be fully excluded under applicable law, our total liability to you for any claim arising from the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim (which, for almost all users, is nothing) or a nominal sum of USD 50.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SeeMyHotels and its owners, staff, and contributors from any claim, loss, liability, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: content you submit; your violation of these Terms; your violation of any law or the rights of a third party; or any dealings, booking, visit, or transaction between you and a property, café, or restaurant found through the Service.

11. Third-party sign-in

You may create or access an account using Google Sign-In. Your use of that service is subject to Google's own terms and privacy policy, which we don't control and aren't responsible for.

12. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms, exposes us or others to liability, or is otherwise harmful to the Service or its users. You may stop using the Service and request account deletion at any time via our contact page.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Sri Lanka, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Sri Lanka.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as the Service changes. If we make a material change, we'll update the "Last updated" date above, and may ask returning users to re-confirm their agreement. Continuing to use the Service after an update means you accept the current version.
