Any agreement reached outside ZamiiStay is solely between the parties involved.
Users are responsible for verifying property details, ownership or authority to rent, payment terms, viewing arrangements, safety conditions, and any written rental agreement before proceeding.

6. Approved Listings
A listing marked approved means it has passed ZamiiStay's platform moderation process for marketplace visibility.
Approval does not mean ZamiiStay has physically inspected the property, guaranteed the property's condition, verified legal ownership, guaranteed safety, or guaranteed that a rental agreement will be completed.
7. Agent Verification And Owner Contact Access
Where applicable, owner contact details are shared only with verified agents who meet ZamiiStay's access requirements.
Users may not bypass, scrape, copy, repost, or misuse gated contact information.
ZamiiStay may remove contact access from any account that abuses the system.
8. Featured Listings
ZamiiStay may offer paid featured listing placement.
Payment for a featured listing buys extra visibility only. It does not guarantee listing approval, rental success, agent interest, booking completion, income, search ranking permanence, or user engagement.
Featured listings must still comply with ZamiiStay listing rules and safety policies.
If a featured listing is rejected, removed, or suspended for policy violations, ZamiiStay may deny a refund unless a refund is required by applicable law or stated in a separate refund policy.
