Terms of Service

Last updated: April 21, 2026

Beta — Phase 1 (paper-money). LandHare is currently operated as a closed beta. All wallet balances and "transactions" are simulated funds for testing. No real money changes hands until LandHare announces general availability. Do not transmit real payments through the platform during the beta.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating a LandHare account or using the LandHare website, mobile interfaces, or any related services (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the "Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Service.

2. Beta / Phase 1 Disclosure

The Service is operated in a public beta. All payments, payouts, wallet balances, fees, and refunds are simulated and have no real-world monetary value. LandHare may reset balances or test data at any time during the beta. When the Service exits beta, LandHare will provide notice and a migration path; continued use after the beta ends will be governed by an updated version of these Terms.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a legally binding contract in your jurisdiction to use the Service. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements and that all information you provide is accurate and current.

4. Account & Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that pose a security risk.

5. Listings — Landowner Obligations

By publishing a listing, you (the "Landowner") represent that:

  • You hold the legal right to lease, license, or otherwise permit use of the property described in the listing.
  • The listing description, photos, location, and amenities are accurate and not misleading.
  • Your use of the land for short-term or recurring rentals complies with all applicable zoning, land-use, HOA, lease, and local ordinances.
  • You carry, or have evaluated whether you should carry, appropriate liability insurance. LandHare does not provide insurance and is not an insurer.
  • You will respond to booking requests, messages, and contract actions in a timely manner.

6. Bookings — Renter Obligations

By booking a listing, you (the "Renter") agree that:

  • You will use the land only for the purpose disclosed in the booking and only during the dates of the booking.
  • You will comply with all applicable laws and the Landowner's stated rules.
  • You will not conduct hazardous activities (including but not limited to commercial pyrotechnics, hazardous-waste storage, or unpermitted structures) without explicit written approval from the Landowner.
  • You will leave the land in substantially the same condition you received it ("leave-no-trace").
  • You are responsible for damage caused by you or your invitees during the booking.

7. Fees & Payments

Standard accounts pay a $0.99 renter fee per booking and Landowners pay a 3% service fee. Premium accounts ($5/month) waive the renter fee and reduce the service fee to 0.49%. During Phase 1 all amounts are simulated. In a future phase real-money payments will be processed by a third-party payment processor under a separate payments addendum.

8. Cancellations & Refunds

Cancellation by the Renter before the Landowner approves the request results in a full refund to the Renter's wallet. After approval, refunds are governed by the cancellation policy stated in the listing or in the executed rental contract. A booking declined by the Landowner is fully refunded automatically.

9. Rental Contract & Electronic Signature

When a booking is approved, LandHare auto-generates a written Rental Agreement between the Landowner and Renter. Each party reviews the agreement on the booking page and signs by typing their full legal name and clicking the sign button. By doing so, each party:

  • Affirms that they intend to electronically sign the document under the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act ("E-SIGN") and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act ("UETA"), or the equivalent law in their jurisdiction;
  • Agrees that the typed name, timestamp, IP address, and SHA-256 fingerprint of the frozen terms recorded by LandHare constitute a valid electronic signature and provide reasonable evidence of attribution and integrity;
  • Acknowledges that the Rental Agreement is a contract solely between the Landowner and the Renter. LandHare is not a party to the Rental Agreement and is not a real-estate broker, agent, attorney, or insurer.

Either party may propose changes to the contract before both signatures are recorded. Accepted changes void any prior signatures and re-issue a new version of the agreement for re-signature.

10. Dispute Resolution

Disputes arising out of a Rental Agreement are resolved between the Landowner and Renter directly. LandHare may, at its sole discretion, offer non-binding mediation and may freeze a wallet balance pending resolution. Any dispute against LandHare itself is governed by the laws of the State of [Governing-State Placeholder] and resolved exclusively in the courts of that state.

11. Prohibited Conduct

  • Misrepresenting identity, ownership, or property condition.
  • Posting unlawful, hateful, or sexually exploitative content.
  • Circumventing fees, attempting to take transactions off-platform during the beta, or scraping the Service.
  • Uploading malware, attempting to compromise other accounts, or interfering with the Service's operation.

12. Content & Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of content you upload (photos, descriptions, messages). You grant LandHare a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute that content solely to operate and promote the Service. The LandHare name, logo, and software are owned by LandHare and may not be used without permission.

13. Privacy

Our collection and use of your information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, LandHare and its officers, directors, employees, and agents are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, arising from your use of the Service. LandHare's total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless LandHare from any claim or demand made by a third party due to or arising out of your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party (including any Rental Agreement you enter into).

16. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or for the operational needs of the beta. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including IP, indemnification, and limitation of liability) will survive.

17. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced in-app or by email. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. Previously executed Rental Agreements are governed by the version of the Terms in effect on the date of signing (whose plain-text snapshot is preserved with each agreement).
