Welcome to Ruteria

Ruteria helps people discover rural properties for gatherings, retreats, farm-based events, and other small-scale uses, while helping hosts share meaningful places and create supplemental income opportunities.

By using Ruteria, you agree to the terms below.

1. What Ruteria Does

Ruteria is a marketplace platform that helps connect:

Property hosts
Event organizers
Guests seeking rural spaces

We help people discover spaces, compare listings, and connect.

Ruteria does not own, manage, operate, or supervise listed properties or events.

2. What Ruteria Does Not Do

Ruteria is not:

a legal advisor
a permitting authority
an insurer
an event organizer
a property operator or venue manager

Listings and property information are provided largely by hosts and may change over time.

Users are responsible for verifying that a property is suitable for their intended use.

3. About Compliance Information

Some listings may include information related to:

Parking
Sound sensitivity
Fire restrictions
Water or sanitation
Agricultural use considerations
Permit or insurance indicators

These are screening aids only.

They are meant to help users ask better questions, not to guarantee that an event is lawful, approved, or permitted.

Ruteria does not provide legal, zoning, or permitting advice.

Users and hosts remain responsible for verifying municipal, provincial, state, county, and other applicable requirements.

4. Hosts Are Responsible For Their Listings

Hosts are responsible for:

Providing accurate listing information
Having authority to offer a property
Following applicable laws and regulations
Disclosing restrictions or risks they know about
Obtaining permits or insurance where required

A listing on Ruteria does not mean Ruteria has approved or certified a property for event use.

5. Guests and Organizers Are Responsible For Their Events

Guests and organizers are responsible for:

Evaluating whether a property fits their needs
Obtaining permits or event insurance when needed
Following host rules
Respecting neighbors, land, and local regulations
Conducting events lawfully and safely

Any agreement related to an event is between host and guest.

Ruteria is not a party to those agreements.

6. Rural Properties Carry Inherent Risks

Rural spaces can involve risks, including:

Uneven terrain
Farm equipment or animals
Weather exposure
Fire risk
Water or sanitation limitations
Remote access or slower emergency response

By using rural properties booked or discovered through Ruteria, users assume those risks.

7. Use the Platform Respectfully

Users may not:

Post false or misleading listings
Use the platform for unlawful events
Circumvent platform arrangements to avoid agreed fees
Misrepresent permits or compliance status
Use the platform in a way that harms others or rural communities

We may remove listings or suspend accounts where needed.

8. If Problems Arise

While we may help facilitate communication, disputes about:

cancellations
property conditions
injuries
damages
permits
compliance issues
event disruptions

are generally between hosts and guests.

9. Liability Limits

Ruteria provides the platform “as is.”

While we work to improve trust and clarity, we cannot guarantee:

listing accuracy
legal suitability of properties
uninterrupted platform availability
event outcomes

To the extent permitted by law, users assume responsibility for use of the platform and associated risks.

(See Full Terms of Service for complete legal terms.)

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms as the platform evolves. Continued use of Ruteria means you accept those updates.

Short Plain-Language Summary (Optional Page Intro)

You could put this above the legal text:

We collect only the information needed to operate the platform, help hosts and guests connect, improve trust and safety, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell personal data.

I’d also strongly consider adding a separate Trust & Safety / Data Use FAQ page beside this, which fits your brand better than burying everything in legal text.
