Host Terms

1. Application

These Host Terms apply to every user who creates, organises, manages, or offers a game or sports activity through the Platform ("Host"). These Host Terms form part of the contractual framework between the Host and Tekkers and apply in addition to the Terms and Conditions.

2. Independent Host Status

A Host acts independently and on their own account. A Host is not an employee, contractor, commercial agent, partner, or representative of Tekkers. Nothing in the Platform or these Host Terms creates an employment or agency relationship between Tekkers and any Host.

3. Host Responsibilities

A Host is solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of each listing; ensuring the listed venue may lawfully be used for the advertised activity; communicating relevant event details, changes, and cancellations clearly and in a timely manner; maintaining a reasonable and lawful standard of safety; complying with venue rules, local regulations, and any required permits; treating all users fairly and respectfully; and complying with any tax obligations relating to amounts earned through the Platform.

4. Prohibited Host Conduct

A Host must not create fake or misleading games; collect payments in a way that circumvents the Platform where prohibited by Tekkers; discriminate unlawfully against participants; create unsafe or knowingly unlawful events; harass, threaten, or abuse users; use the Platform to divert users to competing services in bad faith; or misuse personal data obtained through the Platform.

5. Venue and Safety

Hosts are responsible for confirming that the chosen venue is available, suitable, and lawful to use. Tekkers does not verify venue permissions on behalf of Hosts.

Hosts must take reasonable steps to reduce avoidable risks, including by accurately describing the game, keeping group sizes reasonable, and cancelling or amending an event where safety conditions make proceeding inappropriate.

6. Pricing and Payments

Where a Host charges fees, those fees must be accurately displayed through the Platform. Any applicable refund rules must be consistent with Tekkers policies or clearly disclosed where Tekkers permits host-specific variations.

Hosts may not impose hidden fees or request side payments in a misleading or coercive manner.

7. Cancellations and Reliability

Hosts must cancel as early as reasonably possible if they cannot proceed with an event. Repeated cancellations, unreliable hosting, no-shows, or repeated complaints may lead to moderation measures, removal of hosting privileges, or suspension of the Host account.

8. Insurance and Liability

Tekkers does not provide automatic insurance for Hosts or participants unless expressly stated otherwise. Hosts are responsible for assessing whether they require their own liability insurance or other cover.

A Host may be personally liable for negligence, fraud, unlawful conduct, or breach of law arising from activities they create or manage.

9. Moderation and Enforcement

Tekkers may review complaints, reports, refunds, disputes, reliability history, chat records, or other relevant information in order to moderate the Platform and protect users.

Tekkers may suspend or remove a listing, freeze hosting privileges, or suspend or terminate a Host account where reasonably necessary for safety, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or repeated non-compliance.

10. Data and Privacy

A Host may use personal data of participants only as necessary for the relevant event. A Host must not copy, sell, exploit, or reuse participant data for unrelated marketing or off-platform commercial purposes without a valid legal basis and without complying with applicable privacy law.

11. Governing Law

These Host Terms are governed by Dutch law. Disputes shall be submitted to the competent Dutch courts, without prejudice to any mandatory rights under applicable law.
