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.
