Core Principles

  • Transparent math: Every obligation, early discount, late fee, and partial payment is calculated deterministically down to the exact cent.
  • Mutual consent: Stays do not become active until both the host and the guest accept the identical, versioned terms.
  • Fair credit for real help: Non-cash contributions like grocery runs, household supplies, and deep cleaning are tracked and credited alongside cash payments.
  • Immutable audit history: Confirmed ledger entries and terms cannot be silently modified or erased.
