- The user is responsible for ensuring the safety of the properties listed by hosts, which are privately managed and insured. On the other hand, it is the Host’s duty to provide their properties with the safety and protection they deserve
- Rentals, events, and photography services offered by hosts must be privately insured for personal protection guarantee and due diligence to ensure safety for their customers
- When listing a space, hosts agree to provide a clean, bug-free space with no trash or other hazards. Hosts are responsible for injuries and damages caused to customers by renting a space. Pingo Inc. is not responsible for things that may cause emotional upheaval, bodily harm, or danger in a clean and safe environment
- The host agrees that the tenant will have privacy when renting their space. In addition to space for photos or videos, interviews, and events, they should be given the opportunity to create their content. It is acceptable for the host to stay at the residence or business during the booking, but he or she must step away and give the user/customer space and privacy, unless the user/customer is in danger or may pose a threat to the host or any of the host’s family members or customers.
- As a host, you agree not to allow any alcohol to enter your premises and not to provide alcohol to customers or clients unless your venue is a restaurant or bar that has the authority to provide such products in your jurisdiction.
- The host must be able to demonstrate ownership of their home, venue, or establishment, or confirm permission to host.
- Pingo reserves the right to request a security agreement from the host if users communicate excessive concerns regarding their safety in or at a place of business, home, venue or space as a last resort option before listing termination.
- For hosts who list products for rent, including clothing, accessories, props, camera equipment, and home decor, the host is responsible for communicating and establishing agreements between you as the host and the user, who is the individual that is renting the item, so that the contents condition is reviewed both before it leaves your hands and after it has been returned to you. Hosts are responsible for having separate rental contracts and agreements with renters if they choose to do so. We do not assume responsibility for the way rented content is handled if it is damaged or stolen. A refundable deposit is up to the discretion of the host. Deposits can be collected at the time of departure of the contents and returned to the renter at the completion of the rental agreement. It is the host’s responsibility to either escort the item, provide someone to escort the item, or make arrangements for someone to escort the item. Alternatively, the host can collect a contract with their own terms, damage waiver, or security deposit.
- If the host feels unsafe or has safety concerns related to the rental agreement, he or she has the right to refuse service at any time. When it comes to feeling safe and secure, hosts should use their best judgment and own discretion
- In case of an emergency or valid reason regarding safety or unusual activity that would not conform to the traditional expected interactions or behavior, deemed by the host’s threshold and comfort, creators, who are individuals who rent their space, may be asked to leave
- Hosts who find themselves in a position that compromises their safety should contact law enforcement as soon as possible. Pingo urges you to reach out to us at info@FindPingo.com as soon as you are at a safe place so that appropriate measures can be taken.

Such reimbursement shall be made without undue delay and, in any event, no later than 14 days from the day on which the Owner is informed of the User’s decision to withdraw from the contract.
