You may not create multiple accounts, impersonate others, or use another person's account without authorization.
4. Platform Role
ToolShed is a marketplace that connects tool owners ("Lenders") with people who want to rent tools ("Renters"). ToolShed is not a party to any rental agreement between Lenders and Renters. We do not own, control, or inspect any tools listed on the Platform.
ToolShed does not guarantee the condition, safety, legality, or suitability of any listed tool. Users are solely responsible for evaluating tools and making informed rental decisions.

- List only tools that you own or have the right to rent out

7. Fees and Payments
ToolShed charges a 15% service fee, deducted from the rental amount. There are no additional fees for renters.
All payments are processed through Stripe. Lenders receive payouts after the rental is completed. By using the Platform, you agree to Stripe's terms of service for payment processing.
Prices are set by Lenders and displayed in US Dollars. ToolShed reserves the right to modify its fee structure with 30 days' notice to users.

Refunds are processed through Stripe and typically appear within 5-10 business days.

Renters are responsible for any damage to, loss of, or theft of rented tools during the rental period. In the event of damage or loss:
- The Renter should report the issue immediately through the Platform

ToolShed is not an insurer and does not provide coverage for tool damage, loss, or theft.

ToolShed's dispute resolution decisions are made in good faith based on available evidence. Our decisions are final for disputes resolved through the Platform.
