HostelDost Terms of Service
Last updated: 3 August 2026
These terms govern the use of HostelDost by authorised hostel owners, managers and staff. HostelDost is operated and published by Funnelkit LTD (“Funnelkit”, “we”, “us” or “our”). By creating an account, using the app or authorising another person to use your hostel account, you accept these terms and the Privacy Policy.
Authorised business use
You may use HostelDost only if you are authorised to manage the hostel, PG or accommodation business whose records you enter. You are responsible for the actions of managers and staff you authorise, for keeping their access current, and for promptly revoking access when their role ends.
Your account and security
Keep your phone, app PIN, device unlock method and verification codes private. Do not share access with unauthorised people or attempt to bypass App Check, device-security, verification, rate-limit or access controls. If you lose access to your registered phone or number, use the account-recovery support form. It starts a reviewed support contact only; never send OTPs, PINs or identity documents by email.
Resident data
You are responsible for ensuring that you have a lawful basis and appropriate notice or consent to collect, enter and manage resident and emergency-contact information. Enter only information reasonably needed to manage accommodation. The current HostelDost app does not accept resident profile photographs or resident identity-document images; do not try to place these in notes or other text fields. You remain responsible for your own accommodation, record-keeping, tax, consumer-protection and other business obligations.
Owner verification
We may require owner verification before enabling changes to hostel records. Provide only authentic information and documents you are authorised to provide. A verification decision is an account-security decision; it is not a licence, legal opinion, government approval, or guarantee of a hostel’s status.
Records and payments
HostelDost helps organise resident, room, fee and payment records. You must check entries before relying on them. The current app records cash, UPI/PhonePe and bank-transfer entries made by authorised users. It does not currently provide an in-app payment gateway, create payment orders, verify payment-provider webhooks, store bank credentials or prove that an external payment has settled. A live payment feature will be subject to separate provider onboarding and terms before it is enabled.
Acceptable use
Do not use HostelDost to break the law, infringe another person’s rights, upload harmful content, misrepresent identity, access another customer’s data, interfere with the service, reverse engineer security controls, or use the service for unlawful discrimination, harassment or fraud. We may suspend, restrict or investigate access where reasonably necessary to protect users, systems, legal obligations or the service.
Service availability and data care
We work to keep HostelDost secure and available, but network conditions, device settings, maintenance and third-party services can affect availability. Keep the business records and backups appropriate for your own operations. We may change, improve, suspend or discontinue features with reasonable notice where practical.
Privacy, deletion and feedback
Our Privacy Policy explains how HostelDost handles personal data. Account deletion can be requested in the app or through the account deletion request form. Some payment and audit records may be retained where necessary for accounting, security, fraud prevention, dispute handling or legal obligations.
Contact and changes
Questions, support requests or complaints can be sent to support@hosteldost.in. We may update these terms when the service or applicable requirements change. The latest version will be published at this URL; continued use after an updated version takes effect means you accept it to the extent permitted by law.
