Terms of Service

Welcome to BNPi. By accessing and using our platform, you agree to be legally bound by the following terms of service. Please read them carefully.

1. Scope

These terms apply to all users of BNPi, including both guests and hosts. BNPi is a decentralized accommodation platform built on the Pi Network ecosystem.

Consent requirement: You must accept these Terms of Service in order to (a) create or submit a listing and (b) complete a booking or payment flow. If you do not accept the Terms, these functions are not available.

2. Use of the Platform

• All users must be authenticated via the official Pi Network login.
• Use of the platform is restricted to lawful purposes only.
• Users agree not to misuse the platform or submit false data or listings.

3. Host Responsibilities

• By listing a property, you confirm that you are the rightful owner or authorized to offer the property for booking.
• By submitting a listing, you confirm that you are either the legal owner of the property or have clear authority to list it. You also agree that BNPi is not liable for any false information submitted. Deliberate misinformation may result in a permanent ban from the platform.
• You are solely responsible for the accuracy of your listing content including title, description, pricing, images, and availability.
• You must ensure uploaded images are your own or you have the right to use them.
• All listings are subject to review and approval by BNPi moderators before going live.
• Calendar spacing: Hosts agree to maintain reasonable spacing between stays. The platform prevents selections that would newly create a 1-day gap directly next to an existing booking. Back-to-back stays (same-day turnover) are allowed. Existing 1-day gaps that were already present in the calendar may remain unchanged.
• Date semantics: Availability is handled in local time. Nights are calculated with check-in (inclusive) and check-out (exclusive). Unless specified in the listing, default times are check-out 11:00 AM and check-in 03:00 PM.

4. Booking and Payments

• All bookings are made in Pi cryptocurrency.
• Once a booking is confirmed, it forms a direct agreement between the guest and the host.
• Disputes, cancellations, or no-shows must be resolved directly between the parties involved.
• Calendar rules (guest view): The booking calendar enforces spacing automatically. Selections that would newly introduce a 1-day gap adjacent to an existing stay are blocked. Same-day turnover is permitted where enabled by the host. A minimum stay of 1 night (i.e., at least two calendar days picked) is required.
• Same-day turnover: Guests may book back-to-back stays where the host allows same-day turnover. Unless otherwise stated in the listing, the default times are check-out by 11:00 AM and check-in from 03:00 PM (local time).
• Bookings that violate spacing or turnover rules may be cancelled by BNPi or the Host if created due to system misuse or error.
• Time zones: All dates and times are interpreted in the property’s local time zone to avoid UTC shifts or unintended offsets.

BNPi charges a 7% service commission on completed bookings. This may be automatically deducted or manually processed depending on the payment flow.

From this 7%, the distribution is as follows:

• 1% is reserved either for the referring partner (if the listing was submitted with a referral code) or allocated to an emergency fund in the absence of a referral.
• 1% is pooled and donated annually to charitable or community-focused organizations.
• 5% remains with BNPi to fund platform maintenance, development, office infrastructure, and team salaries.

6. Data Use

We collect only minimal data necessary to operate the platform. This includes your Pi username, listing data, and booking details. Full details can be found in our Privacy Policy.

7. KYC and Verification

To maintain platform integrity, BNPi may request Know-Your-Customer (KYC) verification from users or hosts at any time. Failure to comply may result in suspension of platform access.

8. Referral & Partner Program

Users may participate in our partner program by generating a unique referral code through their account. When a new user submits a listing using this code, the partner will be linked to that listing. As part of the program, the referring partner is eligible to receive 1 % of every completed booking made through listings that were created via their referral code.

All rewards are subject to verification and fair use. Abuse of the program — including self-referrals, spam, or fraudulent behavior — may lead to removal from the program or account suspension.
