By creating an account on Hostrrr, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Hostrrr.

We may offer additional services or features that are subject to supplementary terms. Your use of such features constitutes acceptance of those additional terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Hostrrr. If you are between 13 and 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you may only use the Service with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

3. Your Account

When you create an account, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
• Maintain and promptly update your account information to keep it accurate
• Keep your account credentials secure and not share access with others
• Immediately notify us of any unauthorized access to your account
• Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account

You may not create multiple accounts, use another person's account, or transfer your account to anyone else without our written consent.

We reserve the right to verify your identity through our KYC provider (SumSub) and may restrict certain features until verification is complete.

4. User-Generated Content

Hostrrr allows you to create, upload, share, and interact with content including event listings, messages, photos, videos, and profile information (collectively, "User Content"). You retain ownership of your User Content, but by posting it on Hostrrr, you grant us:

• A non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable license to use, display, reproduce, distribute, and modify your User Content solely for the purpose of operating and improving the Service
• The right to remove or modify User Content that violates these Terms or our Community Guidelines

You represent and warrant that:

• You own or have the necessary rights to post your User Content
• Your User Content does not infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights
• Your User Content complies with all applicable laws and these Terms

5. Prohibited Conduct

Hostrrr has a zero tolerance policy for abuse. You agree not to use the Service to:

• Harass, bully, threaten, intimidate, or stalk any person
• Post or share hate speech, discriminatory content, or content promoting violence
• Upload or distribute sexually explicit, pornographic, or obscene material
• Post illegal content or promote illegal activities

6. Content Moderation & Reporting

We are committed to maintaining a safe and welcoming community. To that end:

• Objectionable content and abusive behavior are not tolerated on Hostrrr
• Submitted content is automatically filtered for objectionable language before it is published
• Users can report messages, events, and other users directly within the app
• Users can block other users at any time. Blocking immediately removes the blocked user's content (messages and events) from your experience and prevents them from contacting you
• We act on reports of objectionable content within 24 hours by removing the offending content and ejecting (suspending or banning) the responsible user when warranted
• We may proactively monitor content for compliance with these Terms and Community Guidelines
• We may remove any User Content that, in our judgment, violates these Terms, without prior notice
• Repeated violations will result in escalating enforcement actions, up to and including permanent account termination

If you believe content on Hostrrr violates these Terms or is otherwise harmful, please use the in-app reporting feature or contact us at support@hostrrr.com.

7. Account Suspension & Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account, at our sole discretion, if:

• You violate these Terms or our Community Guidelines
• Your conduct poses a risk to the safety of other users
• You engage in fraudulent or deceptive activity
• Your identity verification fails or reveals false information
• We are required to do so by law

Voluntary account deletion: You may delete your account at any time from the Settings screen in the app. Upon deletion, your account will enter a 14-day grace period. If you log back in during this period, your account will be reactivated. After 14 days, your account and associated data will be permanently deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive (including, without limitation, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution).

When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and notify you through in-app notifications or other reasonable means.
