About HostGuru™
HostGuru™ is a space rental marketplace operated by Fuesera LLC. We connect studio owners who have unused time slots with vetted practitioners — yoga teachers, sound healers, Pilates instructors, workshop hosts, and others — who need professional space. By creating a HostGuru™ account, you agree to these terms.
HostGuru™ is an active relationship management service. Fuesera LLC stays involved throughout every booking lifecycle. All communication, contracting, and payment flows through the platform. Personal contact information is never exchanged between studios and practitioners.
Accounts and eligibility
- You must be at least 18 years old to create a HostGuru™ account
- You must provide accurate and complete information during registration
- You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials
- One account provides access to all Fuesera LLC services including FlowMads™ and HostGuru™
- Fuesera LLC reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms
For studio owners — listing your space
By listing your space on HostGuru™, you represent that you have the legal right to offer that space for use by third parties, that the space is safe and suitable for the types of classes you've indicated, and that you will honor approved bookings.
- Listing your space is free. Fuesera LLC charges a platform fee as a percentage of each completed booking
- You define the parameters for your space — what types of classes you are and are not open to hosting
- You approve each booking before it is confirmed. Once approved, the booking is contractually binding
- You will receive payment automatically after each event completes, minus the platform fee
- You agree not to contact practitioners directly outside the platform or to book directly with any practitioner connected to you through HostGuru™
For practitioners — renting space
- Practitioners must maintain a verified HostGuru™ profile to book space
- A 50% deposit is charged at the time a connection is made and confirmed by the studio
- The remaining 50% is charged automatically after the event takes place
- You agree to use the space only for the class or event described in your booking
- You agree not to contact studios directly outside the platform or to book directly with any studio connected to you through HostGuru™
- You are responsible for ensuring your class is appropriate for the agreed venue and student population
The two-part close and payment terms
Stage 1 — Connection deposit
When a connection is made and confirmed by both parties, the practitioner pays 50% of the total booking value. This deposit confirms the practitioner's commitment and reserves the time slot.
Stage 2 — Completion payment
After the class or event takes place, the remaining 50% is automatically charged to the practitioner and released to the studio, minus Fuesera LLC's platform fee.
Failed connection — credit hold
If a connection is made, the deposit is collected, and the booking does not proceed through no fault of either party, the deposit is held as a 30-day platform credit for the practitioner. If unused within 30 days, the credit is forfeited to Fuesera LLC. This policy compensates Fuesera LLC for the time and resources invested in facilitating the connection.
Cancellation terms and practitioner accountability
See the HostGuru™ Cancellation Policy for complete cancellation terms. In summary: practitioners who cancel confirmed bookings without force majeure cause have their deposit forfeited and receive a cancellation strike notch. Three strike notches equal one strike. Strike 1 is a 30-day suspension, Strike 2 is 60 days, Strike 3 is permanent removal. Studios that cancel face tiered financial penalties based on how close to the event the cancellation occurs.
Insurance and liability
Fuesera LLC carries a blanket liability policy covering all HostGuru™ events — practitioner, studio space, and students. Studios do not need to involve their own insurance for HostGuru™ bookings. This insurance arrangement is subject to finalization with our insurance broker prior to platform launch. All parties will be notified of any changes to coverage terms.
Notwithstanding our insurance coverage, Fuesera LLC is a marketplace connecting studios and practitioners. We are not a party to the service agreement between them and are not liable for the quality of classes taught, injuries sustained during classes, or disputes between studios and practitioners that fall outside the scope of our platform policies.
Prohibited conduct
- Circumventing the platform to book directly with a studio or practitioner connected through HostGuru™
- Providing false information about your space, credentials, or class description
- Using studio space for purposes other than those described in the approved booking
- Harassing, threatening, or behaving unprofessionally toward other platform users
- Attempting to manipulate ratings or reviews
- Using the platform for any unlawful purpose
Violations may result in immediate account suspension or termination at Fuesera LLC's sole discretion.
Platform fees
Fuesera LLC charges a platform fee on each completed HostGuru™ booking. The specific fee percentage will be published before platform launch. Platform fees are non-refundable except in cases where Fuesera LLC determines a refund is appropriate following a dispute review.
Disputes
Fuesera LLC is not an arbitrator in disputes between studios and practitioners. When disputes arise, we encourage direct, professional resolution. Fuesera LLC will provide informal, good-faith support to both parties. Payment disputes that trigger a refund review will be handled by the Fuesera LLC team within 72 hours of being flagged.
Relationship to FlowMads™
HostGuru™ and FlowMads™ are separate services operated by Fuesera LLC on the same platform. One account provides access to both services. These terms apply specifically to HostGuru™ space rental services. For FlowMads™ substitute teacher services, see the FlowMads™ Terms of Service.
Changes to these terms
Fuesera LLC reserves the right to update these terms as the platform grows. You will be notified of material changes via email. Continued use of HostGuru™ after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
Governing law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
