Terms of use

These terms apply to your use of RifRooms, the website at srinagarrooms.com (“we”, “the platform”). By creating an account or using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the platform.

1. What we do

We are an online marketplace that lets property owners advertise rooms, hostels, PGs, flats and similar accommodation, and lets people looking for accommodation find and contact them. We are not a party to any rental agreement, do not own or manage listed properties, and do not collect rent or deposits.

2. Accounts

• You must be at least 18 years old and give accurate information.
• Keep your password safe. You are responsible for activity on your account.
• We may suspend accounts that break these terms, post misleading content or misuse other users' information.

3. Owner responsibilities

• Only list property you own or are authorised to rent out, at its real location, with real photos and the real price.
• Keep availability up to date and remove listings that are no longer available.
• Follow all applicable laws, including tenant verification requirements of local police and authorities.
• We review listings before publishing and may edit, reject or remove any listing.

4. Tenant responsibilities

• Use owner contact details only to enquire about the listed property - never for spam or marketing.
• Visit a property and verify the owner before paying any money. Never pay a “token” to someone you have not met.
• Some owners state a residency requirement (for example "Only J&K residents"). It is the owner's own requirement: RifRooms does not check anyone's residency and does not collect residency information from tenants. Where a listing has such a requirement, it is shown alongside the listing before you contact the owner.

5. Free platform access

• Browsing, searching and viewing listings is free.
• Owner contact details are available free of charge to logged-in users.
• Property owners can create listings, add rooms, manage availability, upload media and receive enquiries free of charge.
• RifRooms does not charge listing fees, contact unlock fees, subscriptions, booking fees or commissions.
• We do not sell paid placement or allow payment to influence organic search ranking.
• We do not collect rent, deposits, token money or other accommodation payments.

6. Verification

A “Verified” badge means our team checked the property at a point in time. It is not a guarantee. Landmark and locality information comes from public sources and may be out of date.

7. Prohibited content

No fraudulent, discriminatory, offensive or illegal content, no fake listings, and no attempts to bypass platform security or access controls.

8. Liability

To the extent allowed by law, we are not liable for disputes between owners and tenants, for the condition of any property, or for losses arising from dealings between users. Our liability is limited to the extent permitted by applicable law.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Courts at Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir have jurisdiction.

10. Changes & contact

We may update these terms and will show the new date above. Questions: see our contact page.
