Acceptable Use Policy
Last updated: 18 June 2026
This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") forms part of our Terms of Service and applies to all users of the Platform.
You must not
- Use the Platform if you are under 18 or do not have the legal right to work in the United Kingdom.
- Misrepresent your identity, qualifications, certifications, DBS status, or right-to-work.
- Circumvent the Platform by contacting a counterparty discovered through the service and agreeing or paying for engagements off Platform. This deprives the Platform of fees and removes the protections (vetting records, dispute handling, payment escrow) we provide.
- Harass, discriminate against, threaten, or behave abusively toward any other user or member of staff.
- Attend an engagement under the influence of alcohol or unlawful substances, or serve alcohol to anyone under 18.

- Upload malware, defamatory content, or content that infringes intellectual property or privacy rights.
Reporting
Report violations to trust@thehospitalityreserve.com. We investigate every report and may suspend or terminate accounts that breach this AUP.
The Hospitality Reserve operates as a neutral technology platform. We are not an employer, employment business, or employment agency within the meaning of the Employment Agencies Act 1973. Any engagement is strictly between the venue (client) and the bartender (independent contractor).
