Both the Space Seeker and Space Provider are responsible for conducting their own due diligence.
Space Seekers should determine whether the property is suitable for their intended activity, equipment, goods, employees, customers, or other requirements.
Space Providers are responsible for deciding whether they are comfortable permitting the proposed use of their property and may request additional information or documentation before accepting a booking.
15. Who is responsible for making sure the intended use of a Space is legal?
The Space Seeker and Space Provider are responsible for ensuring that the proposed use complies with all applicable federal, state, county, municipal, zoning, licensing, safety, environmental, and other regulatory requirements.
Laws can differ significantly between states and local jurisdictions. A use that may be permitted in one location may be restricted in another.
SPOD provides the marketplace but does not determine whether every individual business activity, use, product, material, or storage purpose is legally permitted in every jurisdiction.
