Well, we don't have very many rules, but there are a few.

1. The member information on this site is to be used only for members to contact each other about hospitality , and not for any other purpose. People have graciously given their information for the purpose of arranging hospitality.
2. The WSL is for hospitality for private individuals (or couples or very small groups) touring on bicycles. Please don't use it for other types of hospitality - for your large group of teenagers doing a cross-country ride, or for your large-group fund-raising event (even though it's for AIDS or cancer or some other fine cause).
3. Please keep your information up-to-date, and please be responsive . Every cyclist deserves to expect at least a response from each host contacted. If your information is out of date or you are not responsive, it can be very frustrating for a cyclist.
4. Please log into the site at least once every year and check your information We request that you log into the site at least once every year to check your information and update it. Accounts that get out of date will be deleted (we'll send you an email first).
5. When seeking hospitality you should contact prospective hosts in advance. And if your plans change please let your host know as soon as possible.
6. Hosts are not allowed to require any payment, and no businesses (hotels, B&B's, etc.) are accepted into membership. Guests, of course, may help out as needed and of course you can fix a meal, bring some beer, etc.
7. No commercial use at all, please, You may not use the site to promote your business.
8. Feel free to say no to any hosting request if you're uncomfortable or for any other reasons. For example, if you request notice, and someone calls you on the spur of the moment, just say "sorry, I have to have some notice, as it says on my account".
9. Minors are not allowed to use the site. Sorry, for legal and liability reasons, minors (people not of legal age) are not allowed to use the site.
