Welcome To My Garden is a not-for-profit network of citizens offering free camping spots in their gardens to slow travellers. These Terms of Service (<span class="bold">"Terms"</span>) apply to your access to and use of the website and the use of the network (collectively, our <span class="bold">"Platform"</span>) provided by Welcome To My Garden.

The use of this platform is <span class="bold">subject to a number of rules</span>. Below you can find the general conditions of our platform, as we are convinced that <span class="bold">clear rules</span> provide the best guarantee for a <span class="bold">respectful community</span>. <span class="bold">By creating an account or otherwise accessing the Platform, you agree to these Terms.</span>

Because Welcome To My Garden appreciates the feedback of the users of their platform, we welcome any ideas to further improve the platform. You can email your suggestions to {support}.

1. Who can register on the platform?

<span class="bold"> Any citizen who wants to offer a free camping spot in their garden to slow travellers and any slow travellers (cyclists and hikers) who want to use the network. </span> If you want to add your garden or contact a host, you need to create an account. Only registered participants can be active users. You can register with your email address.

The creation of an account by a user does not give this user ownership over the account. Welcome To My Garden reserves the right to refuse, suspend or delete accounts, for example if the user does not comply with the following rules or inappropriate behaviour has been reported by a host or guest.

Each account must comply with the following rules‍

1.1 Every account is strictly personal

Each account must be unique and linked to a natural person. If you register for an account, you must provide accurate account information and promptly update this information if it changes. Every user has the right to create one account. If it is determined that one person has multiple accounts, Welcome To My Garden reserves the right to delete all these accounts. Every user must be over 16 years old.

1.2 An account cannot be transferred to another person

Since each account is strictly linked to one specific person, this account cannot be transferred to another person without the permission of Welcome To My Garden. This transfer ban must be considered in the broadest sense. Welcome To My Garden reserves the right to refuse or delete this account in case of infringements.

1.3 An account cannot be used for commercial purposes

The Welcome To My Garden platform is intended to enable citizens to offer their gardens as free camping spots and to enable slow travellers to use the network while travelling. An account can therefore only be used for these purposes. Any use of the account for the sole purpose of enjoying a commercial advantage is strictly prohibited.

1.4 The account information must always remain confidential

It is not allowed for any other person than the actual person who created the account, to use this account. The person who created the account must ensure that (s)he keeps the password and login details safe. We strongly advise you to use a 'strong' password (a password with a combination of lowercase, uppercase letters and numbers). We advise you to use a password manager. Welcome To My Garden can under no circumstances be held responsible for any loss or damage incurred to the account if the above conditions are not met by the user. Welcome To My Garden cannot be held responsible for theft of your account, by 'phishing' for example, either. Welcome To My Garden will never ask its users for personal data such as a login or password via email. If personal data is requested, the user will always be redirected to the platform of Welcome To My Garden. You are responsible for all activities that occur in connection with your account and accept all risks of unauthorized access.

2. Terms of use for Hosts
