Terms & Conditions

The following terms and conditions apply to Moast and their agents (“Brand”) who may embed The Moast Service on their website. 

1. Use of the Moast Service

1.1 The Moast Service provided by Moast (hereafter “Moast”) connects potential customers (hereafter “USERS”) of a brand (hereafter “BRAND”) with existing customers of that brand (known as “HOSTS”). USERS thus have the opportunity to get feedback from real owners and experience the respective product first hand. Registration for the Moast Service does not include a guarantee that a USER will be matched with a specific HOST or will be able to experience the requested product. The decision as to whether a product experience will be permitted rests solely with the HOST.

1.2 Moast´s services are described in more detail on the Moast website. This information is an integral part of these terms and conditions, alongside all further documents mentioned hereafter.

2. Registration of HOSTS

2.1 HOSTS must register before using the services of Moast in full. Registration is regulated on the BRAND’s website and dashboard, which is an integral part of these terms and conditions.

2.2 Registration is only permitted for natural and legal persons capable of acting. The registration of a legal person may only be carried out by a person authorized to represent, who must be named.

2.3 When registering, only individual persons may be specified as the owner of the user account (i.e. no married couples or families).

2.4 The USER/HOST assures that all data provided by him during registration are true and complete. He may not use pseudonyms or artist names.
