Draft — pending review

Community Guidelines

How renters and owners on Chartrflex treat each other, the items they share, and the platform.
Draft — pending review. Chartrflex Inc. has not yet approved these guidelines. They are drafted from our approved Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and Cancelation, Returns and Disputes Policy, plus common peer-to-peer rental practices. If anything here conflicts with those documents, the approved documents apply.

4. Owners: list items responsibly

  • Only list items you own or have the right to rent out.
  • Make sure items are clean, safe and in working order, and include any instructions or safety notes a renter needs.
  • Don't list items whose rental is illegal or restricted, such as weapons, controlled substances or hazardous materials. Don't list recalled or unsafe products, or counterfeit or stolen goods.
  • Don't post content that infringes anyone's copyright, trademark or other rights.

Based on: Terms of Use 3.3(a); community norms

5. Renters: take good care of items

  • Use items only as intended, and follow the owner's instructions.
  • Don't lend or sublet a rented item to someone else.
  • Return items on time, clean, and in the same condition you received them.
  • Any damage or excessive wear and tear beyond normal usage will be documented and may result in additional charges, as permitted by law.

Based on: Returns and Disputes Policy; community norms

6. Handoffs, cancellations and returns

  • Take photos of the item's condition at pickup and at return so both of you have a clear record.
  • Meet in a convenient, well-lit place, and let someone know your plans.
  • Renters can cancel without any questions asked, but only before physically picking up the item. Once it has been picked up, cancellations are no longer allowed.
  • When an item is returned, the owner acknowledges the return, and our team checks that it matches the agreed rental terms.

Based on: Returns and Disputes Policy

7. Communicate in the app and respect privacy

  • Keep rental communication in the Chartrflex app so the details stay in one place.
  • Don't collect or share other users' personal information, including email addresses, without their consent.

9. When something goes wrong

  • If you can't resolve it, submit a dispute through your account or email support@chartrflex.com. Include the rental order number, the date, a clear description of the issue, and any supporting documentation or evidence.
  • The Returns and Disputes Policy explains how disputes are investigated and resolved, and how to appeal. Interactions between users are governed by our Terms of Use.
  • In an emergency or if you feel unsafe, contact local emergency services first.
