However, whether we decide to keep a user off HostelsForSale or not, we do not accept any liability for the unauthorized or unlawful use of HostelsForSale by users.
HOSTELSFORSALE. Some of HostelsForSale’s features may display your ad on other sites that syndicate HostelsForSale listings. By using HostelsForSale, you agree that your ads can be displayed on these other sites and may be automatically translated for this purpose. The terms for our other sites are similar to these terms, but you may be subject to additional laws or other restrictions in the countries where your ad is posted. When you choose to post your ad to another site, you may be responsible for ensuring that it does not violate our other site policies. We may remove your ad if it is reported on any of our sites, or if we believe it causes problems or violates any law or policy.

Our fees are quoted in Euros, and we may change them from time to time.
CONTENT. HostelsForSale contains stuff from us, you, and other users. You agree not to copy, modify, or distribute HostelsForSale, our copyrights or trademarks. When you give us content, you are granting us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sub-licensable and assignable, right to exercise the exploitation of such contents (including, among others, the reproduction, distribution, communication to the public, transformation and “making available to the public”) by any means and exploitation modalities.

PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. A large number of very varied products are offered on HostelsForSale by private individuals and professionals throughout the world.

If a legal representative of the entitled party reports this to us in the correct manner, products infringing on the intellectual property rights will be removed by HostelsForSale.
In order to participate in the Notice of Infringement Programme, you only need to complete a Notice of Infringement Form (PDF) and fax it to HostelsForSale. You can use this form, complete with your signature, to report advertisements which may infringe on your property rights. The information requested in the Notice of Infringement Form is for the purpose of ensuring that the parties reporting these objects are either the entitled party or their officially authorized representative. This information must also enable HostelsForSale to identify the advertisement to be removed. Once we have received your correctly completed Notice of Infringement Form, you can simply send later reports to HostelsForSale via e-mail.
Please Note. This form can only be used by the lawful owners of the intellectual property rights. “Notice of Infringement” is intended to ensure that products offered do not infringe the copyright, trademark right or other intellectual property rights of third parties.
