{"slug":"marketplace-disclaimer","title":"Marketplace Disclaimer","version":"2026-08-07","content":"Marketplace Disclaimer\nVersion: 2026-08-07\n\n1. What Gated Sitting is and is not\nGated Sitting is a private coordination service that helps neighbors schedule babysitting among themselves. It is not an employer, an agency, a staffing service, a guarantor, or a provider of background checks unless a specific service explicitly says otherwise.\n\n2. We do not vet or endorse sitters or families\nWe do not interview, screen, background-check, credential-verify, or endorse any sitter or family. A sitter appearing in the app — including on the Recommended Babysitters board — is not a statement by us that they are suitable to care for your children.\n\nWhere a recommendation appears, it is the opinion of the neighbor who wrote it. Where experience or a certification appears, it is what that person entered about themselves and we have not verified it.\n\n3. The choice, and the diligence, are yours\nDeciding who cares for your children is yours alone. Interview candidates, ask for and check references, verify anything that matters to you, and meet before a first booking. Sitters likewise decide which families and arrangements to accept.\n\n4. We are not a party to your arrangement\nAny arrangement between a family and a sitter — the care, the schedule, the rate, and payment outside our card processing — is between those people. We are not a party to it, do not supervise the care, and are not liable for it.\n\n5. No warranty\nThe service is provided on an \"as is\" and \"as available\" basis without warranties of any kind to the fullest extent permitted by law, including any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. We do not warrant that a sitter will attend, that a family will pay, or that any listing or profile is accurate.\n\n6. Report anything that concerns you\nIf a sitter or family behaves in a way that worries you, report it in the app or contact support at 903-466-2946. Where a child is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first. See our Community Standards at https://gatedsitting.com/community-standards.","sections":[{"id":"overview","heading":"1.
