Host Responsibilities

Last Updated // 09/03/2026

As a Host on Communew, you are the foundation of our community. You are responsible for creating safe, welcoming, and accurately described experiences for your guests.

1. Accurate & Honest Listings

Hosts must provide a clear, truthful, and up-to-date description of their event or studio. This includes pricing, capacity, available materials, and precisely what guests should expect. Misleading descriptions are considered a violation of our Community Guidelines.

2. Safety & Legal Compliance

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your venue (whether a home, studio, or public space) meets all local safety regulations, building codes, and insurance requirements.

  • Permits: Ensure you have the right to host events in your chosen space.
  • Insurance: We strongly recommend hosts carry personal liability insurance.
  • Environment: Venues must be clean, safe, and free of known hazards.

3. Communication & Bookings

Responsiveness is key to a professional community. Hosts should respond to inquiries and booking requests promptly. Once a booking is confirmed, any changes to the time or location must be communicated to all guests immediately through the platform.

4. Professional Payments

Since payments are handled manually off-platform, hosts must provide clear, secure, and professional payment instructions. Do not share sensitive banking information publicly; only share it with confirmed guests through the messaging system.

5. Cancellation & Refunds

Hosts should establish and honor a clear cancellation policy. If you must cancel an event, you are responsible for issuing any agreed-upon refunds to guests who have already paid you.
