Terms of Service

Last updated: [date]

These terms are an agreement between you and [Company legal name] (“ShareIt”, “we”), based in [country/state]. By creating an account you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use ShareIt.

1. What ShareIt is

ShareIt is a platform that helps people lend and rent everyday items to each other. We are not a party to rentals. The agreement for each rental is between the owner and the renter. We don't own, inspect or insure listed items.

2. Your account

  • You must be at least [18] years old and give accurate information.
  • Keep your password safe. You're responsible for activity on your account.
  • You can delete your account at any time from the Account page.

3. Owners

  • Only list items you own or have the right to lend, that are safe, legal, and work as described.
  • Describe the item honestly, including any defects, and include any safety instructions.
  • Hand over the item at the agreed time, or cancel as early as possible.

4. Renters

  • Use items carefully, for their intended purpose, and following any instructions.
  • Return them on time, clean and in the same condition.
  • You are responsible for loss of or damage to an item during your rental, beyond normal wear, up to [its reasonable replacement value / the amount in our damage policy].

5. Prohibited items

You may not list weapons, ammunition, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, prescription medicines, stolen goods, recalled or unsafe products, vehicles requiring a license or insurance to operate, items that require a professional license to use, or anything illegal where you live. [Add others as needed.]

6. Payments and fees

  • Renters pay through ShareIt when the owner accepts a request. Payments are processed by Stripe.
  • [ShareIt charges a service fee of X% / no fee at this time.]
  • Cancellations and refunds: [describe your policy, e.g. full refund if cancelled 24h before start].
  • Don't arrange payments outside ShareIt for rentals found on ShareIt.

7. Circles, messages and reviews

Items are visible only to the circles their owner chooses. Be respectful in messages and honest in reviews. We may remove content or suspend accounts that break these terms. You can report items or people and block anyone at any time.

8. Disputes between users

Try to resolve problems directly first. If you can't, contact us at [support email] and we will try to help, but we are not obliged to resolve disputes between users.

9. Liability

ShareIt is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for items, injuries, losses or damage arising from rentals between users, and our total liability to you is limited to [the fees you paid us in the last 12 months]. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer law that can't be excluded.

10. Changes and contact

We may update these terms and will tell you about important changes. These terms are governed by the laws of [jurisdiction]. Questions: [support email]. See also our Privacy Policy.
