Terms of Service

1. Platform Nature & Acceptable Use

Rubbyside™ is an online listing platform designed to connect independent buyers and sellers of pre-owned motorcycle gear in India, as well as a social space via The Paddock. By using this platform, you agree to strictly abide by our Acceptable Use Policy, which governs user behavior, content standards, and prohibited items. We are **not** a party to any transactions, payments, shipping arrangements, or deals negotiated between users.

2. Direct Rider Deals

All inquiries and sales coordination are conducted directly between users over third-party channels (specifically WhatsApp). Users are solely responsible for coordinating handoffs, inspections, shipping, and payments. We strongly advise meeting in safe, public locations and thoroughly inspecting gear prior to exchanging funds.

3. Listing Content & Accuracy

When listing gear, you represent that all information (including price, manufacturer, brand, condition, and purchase year) is authentic, accurate, and owned by you. Rubbyside reserves the right to moderate, hide, or permanently delete any listings that contain misleading descriptions, false representations, or spam.

4. Prohibited Gear

Users may only list motorcycle riding gear and protective apparel (helmets, jackets, gloves, boots, luggage, suits, and body armor). You may not list: stolen property, gear without ownership rights, non-motorcycle items, services or digital goods, counterfeit or replica safety equipment, or gear knowingly damaged in a crash without disclosure. Listing prohibited items will result in an immediate and permanent phone number ban.

5. Account Verification

We require verified phone numbers (via OTP authentication) to list gear. You agree that the phone number provided is yours, and that you will not use virtual numbers or VoIP bypasses to circumvent security checks.

6. The Paddock, Flybys, & Social Features

Rubbyside provides social feeds ("The Paddock" and "Flybys") for riders to share photos, videos, and stories. By posting content to these feeds, you agree to our Community Guidelines. You must own the rights to the photos and videos you upload, and you grant Rubbyside the license to display them. You may not post hate speech, harassment, explicit/NSFW content, doxxing, or engage in illegal activities. Rubbyside reserves the right (but not the obligation) to monitor, edit, or delete any posts, videos, or comments, and can ban users at its sole discretion without warning.

7. WhatsApp Notifications

By creating an account and participating in The Paddock or marketplace, you explicitly consent to receiving automated transactional and notification messages (such as comment alerts) via WhatsApp. You acknowledge that these messages are processed by third-party APIs (Meta).

8. Termination
