Safety guidelines for community sharing
Peer-to-peer sharing works best when expectations are clear and both parties take simple, sensible precautions.
Keep all discussions on-platform
Always keep your messages, date requests, and item questions inside the platform. Having an accurate in-app conversation log protects both parties if a dispute arises. Never move to external messaging apps or share bank details before meeting.
Inspect items together before exchange
At pickup, take 5 minutes to inspect the item together. Turn it on, test essential features, verify that all accessories are present, and take time-stamped photos of any existing scratches or blemishes so both renter and owner have clear visual evidence.
Meet in busy, well-lit public spots
For smaller gear (cameras, tools, gaming systems), arrange pickups in public places during daylight hours — coffee shops, transit stations, or supermarket parking areas. If exchanging bulky items at a home address, ensure you are not alone.
User reporting and blocking features
Our platform includes built-in reporting and blocking controls. If another user engages in abusive behavior, scam attempts, or off-platform payment solicitations, you can block them immediately and file an incident report with our moderation team.
What this platform does and does not promise
Accurate legal distinctions to keep our users informed.
Contact verification is not identity verification
Verifying an email address or mobile phone confirms control of that contact method, but does not constitute background-checked identity verification. Always exercise prudent personal caution.
