Terms of Service

Summerly (“we,” “us,” “our”) runs summerly.camp (the “Service”): a directory and planner for summer camps in the Greater Nashville area, and a registration and payment service some camps use to take bookings. By using the Service you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

Camp operators who take registrations through Summerly also agree to the Operator Agreement, which governs where it differs from these Terms.

• You must be 18 or older to create an account.
• Give accurate information and keep it up to date — particularly anything a camp relies on to care for your child.
• Keep your password to yourself and tell us at camps@summerly.camp if you think someone else has used your account. You are responsible for activity on your account.
• You can delete your account from your account settings at any time (see the Privacy Policy for what is kept when you have registrations).

Browsing, saving, planning, alerts and every other planning feature are free for families, with no subscription. You pay only when you book a camp that takes registration through Summerly: the camp's price plus a Summerly service fee (3.5% + 30¢), both shown before you pay.

Claiming and managing a camp listing is free for operators. Hosted registration and placement products are paid; their prices are shown before purchase (see sections 9 and 10).

Listings are compiled from camps' own websites and public information, and from updates by operators who have claimed their listing. Camps change dates, prices and availability, and we cannot guarantee any listing is current or complete. For camps that link to their own registration site, check the details there before you book. For camps that take registration through Summerly, the price, dates and cancellation policy shown at checkout are the ones that apply.

Summerly does not run, supervise, inspect or endorse camps, and does not verify operators' licensing, staffing or safety practices. Choosing a camp is your decision.

Sponsored placement. Some camps pay to appear in the Sponsored section and higher in results. Those listings carry a “Sponsored” label. Paid placement never affects reviews.

This section applies to sessions booked through Summerly — the ones with a Register button and a price. Camps that link out to their own website are booked under that camp's terms, not these.

• Your agreement for the program is with the camp. The camp operator runs the program and is responsible for its content, staff, safety and delivery, and for any waiver or release you accept at registration. Summerly provides the booking and payment service and is not a party to the camp program.
• You buy from the camp; Summerly collects for it. The camp is the seller, and its name appears on your card statement (followed by “SUMMERLY”). Summerly is the camp's payment agent: we take your payment through our processor, Stripe, on the camp's behalf, handle refunds and disputes, and pay the camp its share after our fees. Paying Summerly counts as paying the camp.
• Service fee. A Summerly service fee of 3.5% + 30¢ of each payment is added as its own line and shown before you pay. It is Summerly's fee for the booking service, included in the same card charge.
• Deposits and balances. Some camps take a deposit now and the balance later. The balance and its due date are shown at booking and in your registration.
• Seat holds. Starting checkout holds a seat for a short time. If you do not finish paying in that window, the seat is released. If you are offered a seat from a waitlist, you have a limited time to claim and pay before it passes to the next family.
• Accurate information. You confirm the information you give — including health information — is accurate, and that you are the child's parent or legal guardian or are authorised by them.

• Each camp picks a cancellation policy — Flexible, Moderate, Strict or Non-refundable. It is shown before you pay and on your receipt, and the policy in force when you booked is the one that applies to your booking.
• If you cancel from your registrations page, we refund what the camp's policy allows, automatically, and release your seat. The service fee is not refunded when you cancel.
• If the camp cancels or cannot provide what you paid for, you get everything back, service fee included.
• A camp may refund more than its policy requires. A partial refund the camp issues as a price adjustment keeps your child enrolled.
• Refunds go back to the card you paid with. Banks usually post them within 5–10 business days.
• Problems with a charge? Contact us or the camp first — it is almost always faster than a bank dispute, and we will help. If you dispute a charge with your bank, we will share the booking and cancellation-policy records with the bank to respond.

• Reviews must reflect your family's genuine experience of a camp. Do not review a camp you run, work for or compete with, or post reviews in exchange for payment or favours.
• When you submit a review, camp listing, correction or other content, you give Summerly a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to host, display, adapt and distribute it as part of the Service, and you confirm you have the right to submit it.
• We may moderate or remove content that breaks these Terms, but we do not remove genuine reviews because they are negative.

• Scrape, crawl or bulk-copy the Service without our written permission.
• Impersonate anyone, or claim or list a camp you are not authorised to represent.
• Post false, misleading, unlawful or infringing content.
• Try to access accounts or data that are not yours, or interfere with the Service.
• Use the Service to send spam or to contact families for purposes they did not agree to.

• Claims and listings. You may claim or create only listings for camps you are authorised to represent. New listings and claims are reviewed; we may verify your authority and may decline, remove or transfer a listing. You are responsible for the accuracy of everything on your listings — dates, prices, ages, policies and photos — and for having the rights to what you upload.
• Hosted registration is governed by the Operator Agreement, including fees, payout timing, refunds and chargebacks. Payments are processed by Stripe, and you must also accept Stripe's Connected Account Agreement.
• Your camper data. Registration records for your camps are yours. You may use them to run your program and to contact those families about it, in line with the law and your own privacy practices. You can export them at any time, and on request we provide a full export and delete them when you leave (except what we must keep by law).

• Pay per click charges $1.50 for each qualifying click from the Sponsored section to your registration page, up to the monthly cap you choose, billed monthly to your card on file. A click qualifies only if we recorded the visitor opening your listing from the Sponsored section first; we don't charge for clicks we identify as bots or automated tools, for your own clicks, or for more than one click per visitor per day or three per network per day. Every click and whether it was billed is in your click log. If you believe clicks weren't genuine, report them from your dashboard within 60 days of the end of the month you were billed for them; we review each report and may credit your next invoice. Our click records are the basis for billing. If a payment fails, your campaigns pause until it is paid. To save you card-processing costs on very small charges, a month whose total is under $10.00 isn't charged on its own: it is added to a later month's invoice, for at most 3 months, and charged whatever its size once your campaign stops. A month's clicks still never cost more than your cap for that month.
• Plans bought before 8 October 2026. Sponsored placement is no longer sold as a season pass or an annual plan. If you hold one, these terms keep applying to it until it ends:
  • Season passes are one-time payments for sponsored placement for the period shown at purchase. They do not renew automatically. Because placement starts immediately, passes are non-refundable once active, except where the law requires or we fail to provide the placement.
  • Annual plans renew each year until cancelled from your billing settings; cancelling stops the next renewal.
• Placement gives more visibility, not a guaranteed number of views, clicks or bookings. We limit how many sponsored camps appear on a page and may decline placement for a listing that is incomplete or breaks these Terms.

The Summerly name, logo, design and original content belong to Summerly. You may use the Service for your own family's planning, or to manage your own camps, but may not copy or redistribute it without our written permission.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT LISTINGS ARE ACCURATE OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. CAMPS ARE INDEPENDENT, AND WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR PROGRAMS, STAFF OR CONDUCT.

TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, SUMMERLY IS NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY INJURY OR LOSS ARISING FROM A CAMP'S PROGRAM. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF $100 AND THE FEES YOU PAID SUMMERLY (NOT AMOUNTS PASSED TO CAMPS) IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED BY LAW, OR YOUR RIGHT TO A REFUND UNDER SECTION 6.

If you are an operator, or you submit content, you agree to cover Summerly's reasonable losses and costs from claims arising out of your program, your listings or content, or your breach of these Terms or the law.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these Terms, puts families or camps at risk, or is used fraudulently. Where it is safe to, we will tell you why. Bookings already paid for are completed or refunded under section 6. You may stop using the Service at any time.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Please contact us first — most problems are solved by email. Any dispute that cannot be resolved that way will be heard in the state or federal courts in Williamson County, Tennessee, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction. You may also bring a claim in small-claims court where you live if it qualifies.

We may update these Terms. We will change the effective date, and for significant changes we will email account holders at least 14 days before they take effect. Changes never affect a booking already made: it stays under the terms and cancellation policy in force when you booked.
