WeChalet is a proud Canadian startup and we are investing heavily in the IT development of our platform and in its marketing to help our travelers easily book their trips in nature.

Since it is free for our hosts to list their properties on WeChalet, we generate an income when a reservation takes place on our platform and it is with this income that we can reinvest in our website to better serve all WeChalet users, both travelers, and hosts.

If you incite a host into transacting offsite in an insecure manner, it hurts the entire WeChalet community while posing the greatest risk of fraud on a platform like ours.

For these reasons, communicating outside of WeChalet prior to a booking is prohibited, as this prevents us from protecting your payments and transactions and exposes you to an increased risk of fraud and other security issues, such as phishing attempts.

For your personal safety, we, therefore, recommend that you always communicate directly on our platform and not to provide sensitive information that could allow you to communicate outside of WeChalet before completing a reservation.

It is important to never give out your email, phone number, or financial details before completing a reservation and do not accept transfers of funds outside of the WeChalet site.

As mentioned in our Terms of Use, if we identify that a payment has been made through a third-party service or if a reservation has been made with you off-site, we may cancel all your reservations and permanently deactivate your account.
