3. Identity Verification & Payment Processing

BaseNest uses a staff-reviewed document verification process for Guests and a third-party automated service for Hosts.

3.1. Guest Identity Verification — Staff Review

Guest Identity Verification

• Staff Review All new Guests are verified by BaseNest staff through manual review of military eligibility documentation. BaseNest does not use automated identity verification or biometric processing for Guest verification. Accepted Documents (in order of preference)
• 1. Leave and Earnings Statement (LES)
• preferred
• 2. Permanent Change of Station (PCS) Orders
• 3. Temporary Duty (TDY) Orders An LES is the preferred verification document because it provides the most comprehensive confirmation of active status, pay grade, and branch of service. SSN Advisory LES documents frequently contain a full or partial Social Security Number (SSN). Before uploading, BaseNest strongly recommends that you redact your SSN. BaseNest does not collect, store, or use SSN data. Any SSN visible on a submitted document will not be recorded and the document will be deleted upon verification completion. Submission & Review Process Documents are uploaded through the Platform and temporarily stored in BaseNest's secure U.S.-based AWS S3 infrastructure. A BaseNest staff member reviews the submitted document to confirm eligibility. The document is permanently and securely deleted from AWS S3 upon completion of the review regardless of outcome. The following information extracted during review is retained in the BaseNest database: name, pay grade, branch of service, and verification status. By submitting verification documents as a Guest, you represent that the document is genuine and belongs to you, authorize BaseNest staff to review it for eligibility confirmation, and acknowledge that providing fraudulent or altered documents is grounds for immediate permanent termination and may constitute a federal offense. BaseNest will make reasonable efforts to complete Guest verification within two (2) business days of document submission. Guests will be notified by email upon approval or denial.

3.2. Host Identity Verification — Stripe Identity

Host Identity Verification - Stripe Identity Hosts are verified through Stripe Identity, which uses automated government document capture and biometric face-matching.

3.3. Payment Processing

All Platform payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. BaseNest does not store full credit card numbers or raw financial data. By using the Platform, you agree to the Stripe Services Agreement at Stripe Services Agreement.

3.4. Verification Outcomes & Appeals

BaseNest may deny or revoke access if eligibility cannot be confirmed or documentation is found to be fraudulent. Verification does not imply a security clearance check or DoD affiliation. To appeal a denial, contact support@basenest.io within thirty (30) days with your full name, account email, and explanation. BaseNest will respond within five (5) business days.

4. Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA)

BaseNest's platform is designed to support and enforce the rights of active-duty service members under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, U.S.C. et seq. ("SCRA'). All Hosts agree to honor valid SCRA termination requests as a condition of participation. The cancellation rights specifically applicable to military orders are further described in

4.1. Eligible Terminations

A Guest who is an active-duty service member may terminate a residential lease arranged through the Platform if: (i) the service member receives PCS orders requiring relocation of miles or more; (ii) the service member receives deployment orders for 90 days or more; or (iii) the service member is separated or retired from military service.

4.2. Notice Requirement & Termination Timeline

The Guest must provide written notice to the Host through the Platform with a copy of the relevant orders at least thirty (30) days before the desired termination date. The lease obligation terminates thirty (30) days after the next rent due date following proper notice.

4.3. Spousal Coverage

SCRA protections extend to a service member's spouse if the spouse is a named party to the lease agreement.

4.4. Host Obligations Under SCRA

Failure by a Host to honor a valid SCRA termination request is grounds for immediate suspension or removal from the Platform.

4.5. SCRA Disclaimer

SCRA eligibility depends on the nature of orders and military component. BaseNest does not provide legal advice and cannot guarantee SCRA eligibility. Guests should consult their JAG office. Users are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with their orders and command requirements.

5. Cancellation & Refund Policy

governs unless the rental agreement provides greater protections to the Guest. These terms apply to all booking types, including short-term stays, extended stays of 28 nights or more, and month-to-month arrangements made through the BaseNest platform.

5.0. Quick Reference — Cancellation at a Glance

5.1. Scope

These cancellation and refund terms govern all bookings made through the BaseNest platform between verified Guests and verified Hosts. By confirming a booking, both parties agree to the terms set out in this 5.

In the event of a conflict between this 5 and a separate rental agreement signed between Host and Guest, this 5 governs unless the rental agreement provides greater protections to the Guest.

These terms apply to all booking types, including short-term stays, extended stays of 28 nights or more, and month-to-month arrangements made through the BaseNest platform.

5.2. Prorated Daily Charge

All BaseNest bookings are billed on a prorated daily basis. The daily rate is calculated by dividing the total reservation amount by the number of reserved nights. Upon booking confirmation, the Guest's payment method is authorized for the full reservation amount. Actual charges are assessed as follows:

(a) Cancellation Before Check-In

The Guest is charged for each calendar day between the booking confirmation date and the cancellation date, inclusive of the confirmation date and exclusive of the cancellation date, at the agreed daily rate. The remaining authorized balance is released. Any applicable cancellation fee under 5.3 is assessed in addition to the prorated daily charge.

(b) Early Departure

If a Guest checks out before the reserved end date, the Guest is charged for each night actually stayed plus an early-departure fee equal to two (2) nights at the agreed daily rate, unless the early departure qualifies for military-orders release under 5.4. No refund is issued for reserved but unused nights beyond the early-departure fee calculation.

(c) Extended Stay

Extensions beyond the original reservation end date are subject to availability and Host approval. Extension nights are billed at the original daily rate unless the Host and Guest agree in writing to a different rate for the extension period. Extensions must be confirmed through the BaseNest platform.

(d) Time Zone Reference

All proration calculations use Pacific Time (PT) as the reference time zone to ensure consistency across duty stations and time zones.

The prorate-from-booking model means charges begin at booking confirmation — not at check-in. This holds the property off-market and compensates the Host from that date forward. Guests should book only when orders are confirmed.

5.3. Standard Guest Cancellation Tiers

Cancellations by the Guest are processed according to the following tiers. In all cases, the BaseNest service fee is non-refundable. Proration under 5.2(a) applies in addition to any tier fee.

Tier 1 — Flexible: Full refund of all amounts paid beyond prorated days elapsed, minus the service fee. To qualify, the cancellation must be submitted within seven (7) calendar days of booking confirmation and the scheduled check-in must be fourteen (14) or more calendar days from the cancellation date.

Tier 2 — Standard: Guest is charged for days elapsed since booking confirmation at the daily rate. The remaining balance is refunded, minus the service fee. No additional cancellation fee applies.

Tier 3 — Late: Guest is charged for days elapsed since booking confirmation plus a late-cancellation fee equal to three (3) nights at the agreed daily rate. The service fee is non-refundable. No further refund is issued. This tier applies to all cancellations made fewer than eight (8) days before the scheduled check-in date and to any cancellation submitted after check-in has occurred.

5.4. Military Orders Release

A Guest who is an active-duty service member, Selected Reserve member, or activated National Guard member may cancel a reservation or check out early without the late-cancellation fee described in 5.3 Tier 3, and without the early-departure fee described in 5.2(b), subject to the conditions below.

Qualifying Events

A military orders release applies when the cancellation or early departure is directly caused by the issuance, amendment, or extension of official military orders, including:

• Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders
• Temporary Duty (TDY) orders issued or amended after booking confirmation
• Deployment orders of ninety (90) days or more
• Activation orders (Selected Reserve or National Guard)
• Medical reassignment or compassionate reassignment orders

Documentation Requirements

To qualify for military orders release, the Guest must:

• Submit a copy of the relevant orders to BaseNest at support@basenest.io within seven (7) calendar days of the cancellation or early departure
• Confirm that the orders were issued on or after the date of booking confirmation
• Submit through the Guest's verified BaseNest account

Redaction of sensitive information (unit designations, classified appendices) is permitted, provided the orders document clearly shows the service member's name, the nature of the orders, the reporting date, and the issuing command or authority.

Effect of Verified Military Orders Release

Upon verification, the Guest is charged only for days elapsed between booking confirmation and the cancellation date (or check-out date for early departure) at the agreed daily rate. No early-departure fee and no late-cancellation fee apply. The service fee remains non-refundable. Refunds are processed under 5.7.

SCRA Notice: This provision is consistent with the rights afforded to service members under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), 50 U.S.C. 3901 et seq. Nothing in this 5.4 limits any greater right the Guest may have under applicable federal or state law. BaseNest's obligations under the SCRA are further described in 4. BaseNest is a private company. This provision does not constitute an endorsement, partnership with, or approval of the U.S. Department of Defense or any federal agency.

5.5. Host Cancellation

If a Host cancels a confirmed booking for any reason, the Guest receives a full refund of all amounts paid, including the service fee. The following consequences also apply to the Host:

• The Host forfeits the Host-side service fee for the cancelled booking
• The Host's listing may be temporarily suppressed from search results for a period determined by BaseNest in its sole discretion
• Three (3) or more Host cancellations within any rolling twelve (12)-month period may result in account suspension under 15

BaseNest will make reasonable efforts to assist affected Guests in locating alternative accommodations but does not guarantee availability of comparable properties or dates. Hosts may not cancel a confirmed booking and re-list the same dates at a higher rate. Violations constitute grounds for permanent termination under 15.

5.6. Force Majeure and Extenuating Circumstances

Either party may cancel without penalty, and the Guest will receive a full refund of all amounts paid including the service fee, when the stay is rendered impossible or illegal due to any of the following events:

• A government-ordered evacuation affecting the property's physical location
• A federally or state-declared natural disaster directly affecting the property
• A federal government shutdown that results in the Guest's travel orders being formally suspended or revoked in writing by the Guest's command or agency
• Death or life-threatening medical emergency of the Guest or an immediate family member (spouse, child, parent, or sibling)

Supporting documentation is required for all extenuating circumstances claims, submitted to support@basenest.io within fourteen (14) calendar days of the cancellation. BaseNest's determination on extenuating circumstances claims is final and binding within the platform, though it does not limit rights under 23 arbitration.

Extenuating circumstances do not apply to events the Guest or Host knew about at the time of booking, to general dissatisfaction with the property, or to changes in personal plans unrelated to the qualifying events listed above.

5.7. Refund Processing

Approved refunds are processed to the original payment method within seven (7) to ten (10) business days of refund approval. Processing time may vary depending on the Guest's financial institution. BaseNest is not responsible for delays caused by the Guest's bank or card issuer.

Contact support@basenest.io if a receipt requires modification for voucher processing. BaseNest does not guarantee acceptance of receipts by DTS or any government travel reimbursement system. Reimbursement eligibility, per-diem rates, and approved expenses vary by orders, rank, location, and dependent status. Verify receipt requirements and reimbursement amounts with your finance office or Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO) guidance before booking.
