Hustle Pads standards and requirements for Service Provider Hosts

Hustle Pads standards and requirements for Service Provider Hosts

In addition to behaving in accordance with our Terms of Service and Community Standards, which apply to all community members, Hustle Pads Adventure Hosts and Service Providers—including their Co-Hosts and assistants—must abide by our Additional Terms for Adventure Providers and meet the following standards and requirements.

Before any Adventure or Experience is published, it is reviewed based on the below criteria and it must continue upholding these standards to remain on Hustle Pads. If an Experience doesn’t meet these requirements, the listing or associated account may be restricted, suspended, or removed from Hustle Pads.


Experience requirements

Hosts must meet the core requirements of an Adventure, Signature Adventure or Experience

In order to be published, an Adventure or Signature Adventure submission must demonstrate expertise, insider access, and connection to its theme. Learn more about eligibility criteria.

What doesn't qualify as an Experience

Accommodations
Signature Adventures that include accommodations or lodging of any kind are not permitted outside of Hustle Pads Adventures. If you are interested in renting your space, consider becoming a Host of a place to stay

Services
Different from typical tours and services, Hustle Pads Experiences are designed to be highly unique and interactive. So, services are generally ineligible as they don't provide expertise, insider access, and connection. Learn more about what doesn't qualify as an Hustle Pads Experience.

Activities with special requirements or restrictions
Technically-specialized outdoor activities
Certain activities aren’t allowed on the platform. This includes, but is not limited to, activities involving extreme heights or caves (ex: bungee, skydiving, heli-skiing, cave diving), certain ocean activities (ex: free diving, kiteboarding, shark diving), and certain ice or mountain activities (ex: canyoneering, ice climbing, free climbing).

Sexually suggestive activities
Experiences that include sexual content or nudity must have a minimum age limit of 18+, must disclose the presence of nudity, and must take place in a public place (not a private residence). Hosts must also provide behavior requirements for Hosts and guests during the Experience, and specify how guests can opt out of the activity if they feel uncomfortable. Sexually explicit content is not permitted on the platform.

Weapons
We only allow the use of projectile weapons when the Host has a valid license and insurance. Experiences involving firearms must have a minimum guest age limit of 18+.

Political activities
We don’t allow Experiences that include direct political actions, like campaigning and fundraising, or activities that violate local laws. Political activities that are informational and educational in nature are permitted.
