Landowner Agreement

This Landowner Agreement ("Agreement") applies to all individuals and entities who list properties on the LeaseWild Platform ("Hosts" or "Landowners"). By submitting a listing, you agree to the following terms in addition to LeaseWild's general Terms of Service.

1. Authorization to List

By submitting a property listing, you represent and warrant that:

• You are the legal owner of the property, or you have explicit written authorization from the owner to list it on the Platform
• You have the legal right to grant access to the property for hunting and/or fishing activities
• The property does not violate any zoning, environmental, or local ordinances by being used for the activities listed
• All information in your listing is accurate, truthful, and not misleading

2. Listing Accuracy

You are solely responsible for the accuracy of your listing, including property boundaries, available amenities, species present, acreage, and any restrictions. Misrepresentation of material facts may result in immediate listing removal and termination of your account.

3. Pricing & Fees

You set your own nightly rate and any applicable cleaning fee. LeaseWild's fee structure is as follows:

• LeaseWild service fee: 15% — charged on the combined total of your nightly rate plus cleaning fee, collected from the guest
• Your payout: 85% of the nightly rate, paid directly to your bank account via Stripe Connect
• Cleaning fee: 100% passes through to you, after LeaseWild's 15% service fee is applied to the combined total
• Stripe payment processing fees (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) are charged to the guest separately

4. Insurance & Liability

LeaseWild provides up to $1,000,000 in general liability coverage per qualifying booking. This coverage supplements — but does not replace — your existing property insurance. You are strongly encouraged to maintain adequate landowner, agricultural, or agritourism liability insurance independently.

LeaseWild's coverage does not apply to: intentional acts, pre-existing property damage, claims arising from your failure to disclose known hazards, or activities not listed in your booking description.

• Safe storage and handling of firearms on the property
• ADA accessibility requirements, if applicable

6. Honoring Bookings

Once a booking is confirmed, you are obligated to honor it except in cases of genuine emergency. Repeated cancellations may result in reduced search placement, removal of "Founding Landowner" status, or account suspension. If you must cancel, you must do so as early as possible to allow the guest to rebook.

7. Non-Discrimination

You agree not to discriminate against any guest on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, disability, or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal or state law.

8. LeaseWild's Right to Remove Listings

LeaseWild reserves the right to remove any listing at its sole discretion, including but not limited to listings that contain inaccurate information, violate applicable law, generate guest complaints, or are otherwise inconsistent with the LeaseWild community standards.

9. Founding Landowner Program

Early listings submitted prior to LeaseWild's official public launch may qualify for the Founding Landowner program, which includes featured placement and other benefits. These benefits are subject to change and do not constitute a binding contractual obligation on the part of LeaseWild.
