Terms of Service for All Home Gym Hive Users
Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully. They constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Home Gym Hive, governing your use of the websites, applications, and other offerings provided by Home Gym Hive (collectively, the “Home Gym Hive Platform”). Throughout these Terms, “Home Gym Hive,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to the Home Gym Hive entity listed on Schedule 1 with which you are contracting.
The Home Gym Hive Platform is an online venue that enables users (“Members”) to publish, offer, search for, and book home gym services. Members who offer services are referred to as “Hosts,” and Members who search for, book, or use services are referred to as “Guests.” Hosts offer their home gym or equipment as a “Listing.” To access and use many features of the Home Gym Hive Platform, you must register an account and keep your account information accurate.
Please note that as the provider of the Home Gym Hive Platform, Home Gym Hive does not own, control, offer, or manage any Listings or Host Services. Home Gym Hive is not a party to the contracts entered into directly between Hosts and Guests, nor is Home Gym Hive a real estate broker, travel agency, or insurer. Home Gym Hive is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member.
If you are a Host, it is your responsibility to understand and comply with all laws, rules, regulations, and contracts with third parties that apply to your Host Services.
Guest Terms
Our Mission.
Our mission is to create a world where you can workout anywhere. From garage gyms to home studios, browse through thousands of listings to find the ones that fit the way you like to workout. Learn more about the listing by reviewing the description and photos, the host profile, and guest reviews. If you have questions, just message the host or Home Gym Hive.
Searching and Booking on Home Gym Hive.
2.1 Searching. You can search for Host Services by using criteria like the type of gym, location, and other filters to refine your search results. Search results are based on their relevance to your search and other criteria. Relevance considers factors like price, availability, reviews, customer service and cancellation history, popularity, and saved listings, host requirements (e.g. minimum or maximum booking hours), and more.
2.2 Booking. When you book a listing, you are agreeing to pay all charges for your booking, including the listing price, applicable fees, offline fees, taxes, and any other items agreed upon with the gym owner. When you receive the booking confirmation, a contract for host services (a “Reservation”) is formed directly between you and the host. In addition to these Terms, you will be subject to, and responsible for complying with, all terms of the Reservation, including without limitation, the cancellation policy and any other rules, standards, policies, or requirements identified in the listing or during checkout that apply to the Reservation. It is your responsibility to read and understand these rules, standards, policies, and requirements prior to booking a listing.
Accommodation Reservations.
3.1 An Accommodation Reservation on Home Gym Hive is a limited license to enter, occupy, and use the workout space. The Host retains the right to re-enter the space during your booking, to the extent: (i) it is reasonably necessary, (ii) permitted by your contract with the Host, and (iii) consistent with applicable law. If you exceed the booking period, the Host has the right to make you leave in a manner consistent with applicable law, including by imposing reasonable penalties. You may not exceed the maximum number of allowed Guests.
3.2 Reservations for Workouts and Other Host Services. A Workout or other Host Service Reservation entitles you to participate in, attend, or use that Host Service. You are responsible for confirming that you, and anyone you invite, meet minimum age, proficiency, fitness, or other requirements. You are responsible for informing the Host of any medical or physical conditions, or other circumstances that may impact your ability to participate, attend, or use the Host Service. Except where expressly authorized, you may not allow any person to join a Host Service unless they are included as an additional guest during the booking process.
Cancellations, Booking Modifications, and Refunds.
4.1 Cancellations and Refunds. If you wish to cancel your booking you must contact the gym owner directly. You are responsible for handling any requested refund if already paid in advance with the gym owner.
4.2 Booking Modifications. Guests and Hosts are responsible for any booking modifications they agree to make via the Home Gym Hive Platform or direct Home Gym Hive customer service to make on their behalf (“Booking Modifications”) and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees, or taxes associated with any Booking Modification.
Your Responsibilities and Assumption of Risk.
5.1 Your Responsibilities. At Home Gym Hive, we believe in responsible use of our platform and services. As a Guest, you are responsible for your own actions and those of any guests or invitees you bring with you to an Accommodation or Host Service. This includes leaving the Accommodation or Host Service in the same condition it was in when you arrived, paying for any damage you or your guests cause, acting with integrity and respect towards others, and complying with all applicable laws. If you are booking for a minor, you must be legally authorized to act on their behalf and you are solely responsible for their supervision.
5.2 Your Assumption of Risk. We understand that certain activities may come with inherent risks, and we want to make sure our Guests are fully informed. By accessing and using Home Gym Hive, you assume all risks associated with your use of the platform and any Host Service you book, including any Accommodation. This includes risks of illness, bodily injury, disability, or death. It is your responsibility to investigate and determine whether a Host Service is suitable for you before booking.
5.3 By booking a gym through Home Gym Hive, you agree to abide by the rules and guidelines set by the host, as outlined on their gym listing page. It is your responsibility as a guest to review and comply with these rules during your rental period. Additionally, you agree to check in and out of the gym space at the agreed upon times, respecting the host’s scheduling requirements. Failure to comply with the host’s rules or check-in/check-out procedures may result in penalties or loss of access to the gym facility.
Hosting on Home Gym Hive.
6.1 Host. As a Host, Home Gym Hive offers you the right to use the Home Gym Hive Platform to share your gym equipment, fitness programs or other fitness-related services with our community of members – and earn money doing it. It’s easy to create a Listing and you are in control of how you host – set your price, availability, and rules for each Listing.
6.1a Payment Terms
- Payment Processing: Guests of Home Gym Hive (“Guests”) will make payments directly with and to the gym owner of the listing they wish to book. Handling of payments will be done completely outside of our platform. Home Gym Hive will not be involved in the payments for bookings.
- 6.1b Listing and Payment Arrangements: By listing your gym on Home Gym Hive, you acknowledge and agree that you will receive compensation from those that wish to book your space on the platform. It is important to note that you are not operating a business out of your home gym; rather, you are utilizing our platform as a means to connect with individuals who are interested in using your gym facilities.
6.2 Contracting with Members. When you accept a booking request, or receive a booking confirmation through the Home Gym Hive Platform, you are entering into a contract directly with the Member, and are responsible for delivering your Host Service under the terms and at the price specified in your Listing. You are also agreeing to pay applicable fees if necessary. Any terms, policies or conditions that you include in any supplemental contract with Members must: (i) be consistent with these Terms, our Additional Legal Terms, Policies, and the information provided in your Listing, and (ii) be prominently disclosed in your Listing description.
6.3 Independence of Hosts. Your relationship with Home Gym Hive is that of an independent individual or entity and not an employee, agent, joint venturer, or partner of Home Gym Hive, except that Home Gym Hive acts as a marketplace to list your gym. Home Gym Hive does not direct or control your Host Service, and you agree that you have complete discretion whether and when to provide Host Services, and at what price and on what terms to offer them.
Managing Your Listing.
7.1 Creating and Managing Your Listing. The Home Gym Hive Platform provides tools that make it easy for you to set up and manage a Listing. Your Listing must include complete and accurate information about your Host Service, your price, and any rules or requirements that apply to your Guests or Listing. You are responsible for keeping your Listing information (including availability) and content (like photos) up-to-date and accurate at all times. We recommend that you obtain appropriate insurance for your Host Services and suggest you carefully review policy terms and conditions including coverage details and exclusions. You may only maintain one Listing per Accommodation.
7.2 Know Your Legal Obligations. You are responsible for understanding and complying with any laws, rules, regulations, and contracts with third parties that apply to your Listing or Host Services. For example, some landlords and leases, or homeowner and condominium association rules, restrict or prohibit subletting short-term rentals. Some cities have zoning or other laws that restrict the short-term rental of residential properties. Some jurisdictions require Hosts to register, get a permit, or obtain a license before providing certain Host Services. In some places, the Host Services you want to offer may be prohibited altogether. Some jurisdictions require that you register Guests who use your Home Gym Hive. Some jurisdictions have laws that create tenancy rights for Guests and additional obligations for Hosts. Check your local rules to learn what rules apply to the Host Services you plan to offer. Information we provide regarding legal requirements is for informational purposes only and you should independently confirm your obligations. You are responsible for handling and using personal data of Guests and others in compliance with applicable privacy laws and these Terms, including our Host Privacy Standards. If you have questions about how local laws apply, you should always seek legal advice.
7.3 Search Ranking. The ranking of Listings in search results on the Home Gym Hive Platform depends on a variety of factors, including these main parameters:
Guest search parameters (e.g. number of Guests, price range), Listing characteristics (e.g. price, availability, number and quality of images, Reviews, type of Host Service, Host status, age of the Listing, average Guest popularity), Guest booking experience (e.g. customer service and cancellation history of the Host, ease of booking), Host requirements (e.g. minimum or maximum visits, booking cut-off time), and Guest preferences (e.g. previous visits, saved Listings, location from where the Guest is searching). Home Gym Hive may allow Hosts to promote their Listings in search or elsewhere on the Home Gym Hive Platform by paying an additional fee. More information about the factors that determine how your Listing appears in search results, our current promotional programs (if any), and how we identify promoted Content can be found in our Help Center.
7.4 Your Responsibilities. As a Host, you are responsible for your own actions and those of anyone you allow to provide Host Services. You must set your own prices and rules for your Listings and clearly state any fees or charges in your listing description. You may not collect any additional fees outside of the Home Gym Hive Platform except those allowed under the Offline Fee Policy. It is prohibited to encourage Guests to create third-party accounts, submit reviews, provide their contact information, or take other actions outside the Home Gym Hive Platform in violation of the Off-Platform Policy.
7.5 Hosting as a Team or Organization. If you work with a co-host or host as part of a team, business, or organization, everyone involved is responsible and liable under these Terms. You must ensure that you have authorization to enter into contracts and bind your team, business, or organization, and that each entity you use is in good standing under the laws of the place where it is established.
7.6 Your Assumption of Risk. As a Host, you acknowledge that hosting carries inherent risks, and you assume the entire risk associated with your use of the Home Gym Hive Platform, offering Host Services, and any interactions you have with other Members. You agree that you have had the opportunity to investigate the Home Gym Hive Platform and any laws, rules, regulations, or obligations that may apply to your Listings or Host Services.
7.7 As a host, you acknowledge that by renting out your gym space through Home Gym Hive, there will be normal wear and tear on your equipment. It is your responsibility to maintain your gym equipment in good working condition and to address any necessary repairs or maintenance in a timely manner. Home Gym Hive is not responsible for any damage to your gym equipment or facility that may occur as a result of renting your space to our customers.
- Cancellations, Travel Issues, and Booking Modifications. If a Guest cancels a Reservation, it is up to you and the guest to determine the course of action. If no money has been paid then there is no need for a refund. However, if the booking was paid in an advance a refund will need to be worked out between the two parties. As a Host, you should not cancel on a Guest without a valid reason under the Extenuating Circumstances Policy or applicable law. If you cancel on a Guest without a valid reason, Home Gym Hive may impose a cancellation fee and other consequences.
7.8 Insurance Coverage
By listing your home gym on Home Gym Hive, you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining adequate general liability insurance coverage for your property. Home Gym Hive does not provide insurance coverage for hosts or their listed gym spaces.
We recommend that you obtain a suitable insurance policy to protect yourself and your property from potential risks and liabilities associated with renting out your home gym. To assist you in acquiring appropriate insurance coverage, we have partnered with Thimble, a leading provider of on-demand insurance for small businesses.
You can find more information about obtaining insurance coverage through Thimble by visiting the following link: Insurance Coverage with Thimble.

By using our platform and listing your home gym, you agree to indemnify and hold Home Gym Hive harmless from any claims, demands, liabilities, expenses, damages, or losses resulting from your failure to maintain appropriate insurance coverage or any disputes related to insurance matters.
Please note that Home Gym Hive does not endorse, recommend, or have any control over the insurance policies provided by third-party providers such as Thimble. You are encouraged to make an informed decision based on your individual needs and circumstances.
Please ensure that you review and customize the content as necessary to fit your specific business and legal requirements. It’s advisable to consult with a legal professional to ensure that your terms of service accurately reflect your business practices and comply with applicable laws and regulations.

In jurisdictions where Home Gym Hive facilitates the collection and/or remittance of Taxes on behalf of Hosts, you instruct and authorize Home Gym Hive to collect Taxes on your behalf, and/or to remit such Taxes to the relevant Tax authority. Any Taxes that are collected and/or remitted by Home Gym Hive are identified to Members on their transaction records, as applicable. Home Gym Hive may seek additional amounts from Members (including by deducting such amounts from future payouts) in the event that the Taxes collected and/or remitted are insufficient to fully discharge that Members’ tax obligations, and you agree that your sole remedy for Taxes collected by Home Gym Hive is a refund from the applicable Tax authority. You acknowledge and agree that we retain the right, with prior notice to affected Members, to cease the collection and remittance of Taxes in any jurisdiction for any reason.
9.3 Tax Information. In certain jurisdictions, Tax regulations may require that we collect and/or report Tax information about you, or withhold Taxes from payouts to you, or both. If you fail to provide us with documentation that we determine to be sufficient to support any such obligation to withhold Taxes from payouts to you, we may withhold payouts up to the amount as required by law, until sufficient documentation is provided. You agree that Home Gym Hive may issue on your behalf invoices or similar documentation for VAT, GST, consumption or other Taxes for your Host Services to facilitate accurate tax reporting by you, our Customers, and/or their organizations.

Limitations on Liability.
Neither Home Gym Hive (including its affiliates and personnel) nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Home Gym Hive Platform or any Content will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data, or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage, or system failure or the cost of substitute products or services, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with (i) these Terms, (ii) the use of or inability to use the Home Gym Hive Platform or any Content, (iii) any communications, interactions, or meetings you may have with someone you interact or meet with through, or as a result of, your use of the Home Gym Hive Platform, or (iv) publishing or booking of a Listing, including the provision or use of Host Services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability, or any other legal theory, and whether or not Home Gym Hive has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set out in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

These limitations of liability and damages are fundamental elements of the agreement between you and Home Gym Hive. If applicable law does not allow the limitations of liability set out in these Terms, the above limitations may not apply to you.
Indemnification.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to release, defend (at Home Gym Hive’s option), indemnify, and hold Home Gym Hive (including other affiliates, and their personnel) harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (i) your breach of these Terms (including any supplemental or additional terms that apply to a product or feature) or our Additional Legal Terms, Policies or Standards, (ii) your improper use of the Home Gym Hive Platform, (iii) your interaction with any Member, use of a home gym, or participation in any other service, including without limitation any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction, stay, participation or use, (iv) your failure, or our failure at your direction, to accurately report, collect or remit Taxes, or (v) your breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights such as intellectual property or privacy rights.

Unless we agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of the waiver contained in this paragraph as to any claim, cause of action or requested remedy, then that claim, cause of action or requested remedy, and only that claim, cause of action or requested remedy, will be severed from this agreement to arbitrate and will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that a claim, cause of action or requested remedy is severed pursuant to this paragraph, then you and we agree that the claims, causes of action or requested remedies that are not subject to arbitration will be stayed until all arbitrable claims, causes of action and requested remedies are resolved by the arbitrator.
