Last Updated: April 2026

1. OVERVIEW

Brainy & Footsy ("Platform") operates as an online marketplace connecting campsite Hosts and Guests. This Payment Disclaimer outlines the responsibilities and limitations of Brainy & Footsy with respect to all financial transactions conducted between Hosts and Guests on or through the Platform.

2. BRAINY & FOOTSY IS NOT A PAYMENT PROCESSOR

Brainy & Footsy does not process, hold, transfer, or facilitate payments between Hosts and Guests. All financial transactions — including but not limited to booking deposits, nightly rates, storage fees, and stopover parking fees — occur directly between the Host and the Guest.

Brainy & Footsy is not a party to any payment transaction and assumes no liability for any payment made or received in connection with a booking.

3. ACCEPTED PAYMENT METHODS

Payment methods are determined solely by the Host. Hosts may choose to accept payments via third-party platforms including but not limited to:

  • PayPal
  • Venmo
  • Cash App
  • Zelle
  • Cash or check (at Host's discretion)

Brainy & Footsy makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding the security, reliability, or terms of any third-party payment platform. Users are encouraged to review the terms and conditions of any payment service they use.

4. HOST SUBSCRIPTION FEES

Hosts pay a recurring subscription fee directly to Brainy & Footsy for access to the Platform and its features. This subscription fee:

  • Is separate from and unrelated to any payments received from Guests.
  • Does not entitle Hosts to any commission refunds, booking guarantees, or dispute resolution services.
  • Is non-refundable unless otherwise stated in a separate subscription agreement.

Brainy & Footsy does not charge Guests any booking fees, service fees, or commissions. The price listed by the Host is the price the Guest pays — directly to the Host.

5. NO GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT

Brainy & Footsy does not guarantee that:

  • A Guest will complete payment to a Host.
  • A Host will issue a refund to a Guest.
  • Any payment dispute will be resolved in any particular manner.

Users assume full responsibility for verifying payment completion prior to confirming a booking or granting access to a property.

6. PAYMENT DISPUTES

Any payment disputes, chargebacks, refund requests, or fraud claims are strictly between the Host and the Guest. Brainy & Footsy is not responsible for and will not intervene in payment disputes between Users.

  1. 1.First attempt to resolve the matter directly with the other party.

Brainy & Footsy does not collect, report, or remit taxes on behalf of any Host or Guest. Users are strongly encouraged to consult a tax professional regarding their obligations.

8. FRAUD PREVENTION
