Founding Offer Terms and Conditions

ThunderWerx Ltd

Last updated: 10 November 2026

These terms apply if you accept a place on our founding offer for a holiday-let booking website. They are written in plain English. If anything is unclear, just ask.

1. The founding offer

We are offering up to 10 places to holiday-let owners. Places are open until January 2027.

To be eligible, you should:

  • run a holiday let in Scotland that you own or manage, from a single property to a small portfolio (not a booking agency or marketplace);
  • take direct bookings, or want to, and be happy for guests to pay by card through Stripe;
  • be willing to give honest feedback, such as a short check-in every month or so during your first year;
  • be able to send photos, video and property details within about two weeks of being accepted;
  • own your domain name, or be happy to buy one;
  • hold, or have applied for, a Scottish short-term let licence.

We choose the 10 places after a free discovery call, so registering interest does not guarantee a place.

To be considered, you can register an expression of interest on our website. That does not reserve a place or create a contract. We choose who to invite. A contract starts only when both of us confirm your place in writing (including by email).

The discovery call and site audit are free and come with no obligation.

2. What you pay

  • A one-off build fee of £99 per website, due when you accept your place and before we start the build. One website can cover several of your properties. This fee is not refundable once purchased.
  • Then £19.99 a month per website, starting once the build is complete and the site is deployed and live. It is billed monthly in advance by card or Direct Debit through Stripe. Hosting is included.
  • We do not take commission on your bookings.

You pay your own domain fee, and you pay Stripe’s processing fees directly to Stripe. Stripe’s UK prices are published at stripe.com/gb/pricing. For standard UK cards this is currently 1.5% + 20p per transaction. Other payment methods can be added at cost.

All prices include VAT. Our VAT number is 394526662.

If you are a founding client, this price is locked in for as long as you stay with us, subject to fair use (see section 4).

If a payment fails, we will let you know and may pause the service until it is paid.

3. What we provide

We design and build your booking website, host it, and keep it running. Availability, bookings and payments are managed in your own site. There are no third-party booking widgets.

You send us photos and video, and we edit them for the site. We write the copy, and you approve it before it goes live. We will not publish copy you have not approved. You confirm that you have the rights to the content you give us, and that we may use it to build and run your site.

The build typically takes about two weeks from when we receive your content. That is an estimate, not a guarantee.

As a founding client, your feedback helps us shape the product. You get updates and new features at no extra cost.

The booking software and platform remain ours. Your domain, photos and words remain yours.

4. Fair use and the locked-in price

The founding price is for a typical Scottish holiday-let business: one website for properties you own or manage, with room for reasonable growth. It is not for a large marketplace or an Airbnb-scale platform that lists many third-party properties.

If your use grows well beyond that, we will talk to you before making any change to your price or terms. We will not change your founding price without that conversation.

5. Your responsibilities

You are responsible for keeping your pricing and availability accurate; for your own terms for guests, including your cancellation policy; for complying with holiday-let licensing and any other laws that apply to your business; and for looking after your login details.

Guest contracts are between you and your guests. We are not a party to them.

6. A two-way door: cancelling

There is no minimum term. You can cancel at any time by emailing us at admin@thunderwerx.co.uk.

If you cancel, monthly billing stops at the end of the month you have already paid for. You keep access until then. We do not refund a month that has already started.

Your domain stays yours. On cancellation, or at any time on request, we will give you exports of your content (your words, photos, video, and booking or guest data where applicable) in standard formats. We are not responsible for moving your data or site to a new provider.

We can also end the service if fees go unpaid or these terms are seriously broken. If we do, we will give you reasonable notice where we can, and we will still provide those exports.

7. Availability, backups and our liability

We take reasonable care to keep your site available and to keep backups. We cannot promise the site will never have downtime, and we are not liable for lost bookings or income if it does.

If something goes wrong and we are at fault, our total liability in any 12-month period is limited to the fees you have paid us in the 12 months before the claim (the build fee and the monthly fees). This does not limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or anything else the law does not allow us to limit.

8. Data protection

We handle personal data in line with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

For guest data collected through your booking site (for example names, contact details and booking information), you are the data controller and we are the data processor. We only use that data to provide the service to you. We will not sell it or use it for our own marketing. We also hold your business contact details so we can run our contract with you.

9. Changes to these terms, and governing law

If we need to change these terms, we will give you at least 30 days’ notice by email. If you do not wish to accept the change, you can cancel as set out in section 6 before it takes effect.

These terms are governed by the law of Scotland. The Scottish courts have jurisdiction.
