Terms of Service

Please read these terms carefully before using AfriStay.

1. About AfriStay

AfriStay is an independent online marketplace that connects travelers with property owners and vehicle hirers across Rwanda. By accessing or using our platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or make a booking on AfriStay. By using the platform you confirm that you meet this requirement and that the information you provide is accurate and up to date.

3. User Accounts

When you create an account you are responsible for:

  • Keeping your login credentials confidential
  • All activity that occurs under your account
  • Notifying us immediately if you suspect unauthorised access

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

4. Listings & Bookings

Property owners ("Owners") list their properties or vehicles on AfriStay. All listings must be accurate, legal, and comply with Rwandan law. AfriStay is not a party to the rental agreement between a guest and an owner — we facilitate the booking only.

Guests are responsible for reviewing listing details, availability, and house rules before booking. All confirmed bookings are subject to the cancellation policy displayed at the time of booking.

5. Payments & Fees

All payments are processed through our payment partners. AfriStay charges a platform service fee per booking. This fee is disclosed before you confirm payment. Owners receive their payout minus the AfriStay service fee within the agreed payout schedule.

Prices are displayed in Rwandan Francs (RWF) unless otherwise stated. We are not responsible for currency conversion fees charged by your bank or payment provider.

6. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

  • List or book properties for illegal purposes
  • Provide false, misleading, or fraudulent information
  • Harass, threaten, or discriminate against other users
  • Attempt to circumvent the platform to conduct transactions off-platform
  • Reverse-engineer, scrape, or interfere with the platform's operation

7. Reviews & Content

Guests and owners may leave reviews after a completed stay or rental. Reviews must be honest and based on genuine experience. AfriStay reserves the right to remove content that is abusive, defamatory, or violates our policies. By submitting content you grant AfriStay a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display it on the platform.

8. Limitation of Liability

AfriStay provides the platform on an "as is" basis. We do not guarantee the accuracy of listings, the conduct of users, or the quality of properties. To the maximum extent permitted by law, AfriStay shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the platform.

9. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Rwanda. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Rwanda.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes by email. Continued use of the platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

11. Contact Us

If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact us at info@afristay.rw or through our Contact page.
