Angler Terms
Angler Terms Section Terminology. In this Angler terms section, “You” and its related forms, “Angler,” and “Participant” shall refer to the Angler and Angler’s guests. “Landowner” shall refer to the Landowner.
Booking. When You book a listing, You are agreeing to pay all charges for Your booking including the listing price, applicable fees like Company’s service fee, offline fees, taxes, and any other items identified during checkout (collectively, the “Total Price”). You are also agreeing that Company may charge the payment method used to book the listing in order to collect Damage Report (as defined in Section 17 of General Terms) amounts.
Reservation. When You receive the booking confirmation, a contract (the "Reservation") is formed directly between You and the Landowner. By making a Reservation, You are agreeing to the terms of the contract. The terms of the contract include these Terms of Use, all terms of the Reservation, including without limitation, the cancellation policy and any other rules, standards, policies, or requirements identified in the listing or during checkout that apply to the Reservation. It is Your responsibility to read and understand these terms of the contract including these Terms of Use and all terms of the Reservation including all rules, standards, policies, and requirements prior to booking a listing. Be aware that some Landowners work with a co-Landowner or as part of a team to provide their listing. A Reservation is a limited license to enter, occupy, and use the Landowner’s land and water. The Landowner retains the right to re-enter Landowner’s land and water during Your Reservation, to the extent: (i) it is reasonably necessary, (ii) permitted by Your contract with the Landowner, and (iii) permitted by applicable law. If You stay past Your designated end time, the Landowner has the right to make You leave in a manner permitted with applicable law, including by imposing reasonable overstay penalties. You may not exceed the maximum number of allowed guests for the Reservation.
Cancelations, Reservation Issues, and Refunds. In general, if You cancel a Reservation, the amount refunded to You is determined by the Landowner's cancelation policy that applies to that Reservation. But, in certain situations, other policies take precedence and determine what amount is refunded to You. If something outside Your control forces You to cancel a Reservation, You may be eligible for a partial or full refund at Company’s sole discretion. If the Landowner cancels, or You experience an issue with your Reservation, You may be eligible for rebooking assistance or a partial or full refund.
Booking Modifications. Anglers and Landowners are responsible for any booking modifications they agree to make via the Company’s Platform or Company’s customer service to make on their behalf (the "Booking Modifications"), and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees, or taxes associated with any Booking Modification.
Angler Responsibilities. You are responsible and liable for Your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone You invite to join or provide access to Your Reservation, all areas and facilities where the Reservation is located, and all areas and facilities where the Reservation is located that the Landowner and Angler are legally entitled to use in connection with the Reservation (the “Common Areas”). For example, this means: (i) You are responsible for leaving a Reservation (and related personal and real property) or Common Areas in the condition it was in when You arrived, (ii) You are responsible for paying all reasonable Damage Report amounts, and (iii) You must act with integrity, treat others with respect, and comply with applicable laws at all times. If You book a Reservation on behalf of additional guests, You are required to ensure that every additional guest meets any requirements set by the Landowner, and is made aware of and agrees to these Terms of Use and any terms and conditions, rules and restrictions set by the Landowner. If You are booking for an additional guest who is a minor or if You bring a minor to a Reservation, You must be legally authorized to act on behalf of the minor and You are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor.

Participant, and Parent/Guardian on behalf of each Minor Child, understand and consent that Company and Landowner may use any image or likeness of Participant and/or any Minor Child for Company’s and Landowner’s promotional, marketing, advertising, or other business purposes in any media now known or hereafter developed, in perpetuity, without compensation. Participant, and Parent/Guardian on behalf of each Minor Child, irrevocably waive any right to compensation, approval, or review of any use of Participant’s and/or any Minor Child’s likeness or image recorded during or in connection with Participant’s and/or any Minor Child’s activities with Company and Landowner.

f.) Severability. This Waiver is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. If any portion of this Waiver is held invalid, the balance of the Waiver shall nonetheless continue in full legal force and effect.
8.) Acknowledgement. Participant certifies that they have read and understand this Waiver, including all terms relating to their minor child (if applicable), have had the opportunity to ask questions, and are voluntarily agreeing to it as a condition of participation.
Landowner Terms
Landowner Terms Section Terminology. In this Landowner terms section, “You” and its related forms shall refer to the Landowner. “Angler” shall refer to the Angler.
Landowner. As a Landowner, Company offers You the right to use Company’s Platform in accordance with these Terms of Use to list your property for fishing access by registered Anglers, and to earn income doing so. You may create a listing and You are in control of the price, availability, and rules for each listing.
Contracting with Anglers. When You accept a booking request, or receive a booking confirmation through Company’s Platform, You are entering into a contract directly with the Angler and are responsible for delivering the Reservation under the terms and at the price specified in Your listing. You are also agreeing to pay applicable fees like Company’s service fee and applicable taxes for each booking. Company will deduct amounts You owe from Your payout unless Company agrees to a different method. Any terms or conditions that You include in any supplemental contract with Angler must: (i) be consistent with these Terms of Use and the information provided in Your listing, and (ii) be prominently disclosed in Your listing description.
Independence of Landowner. Your relationship with Company is that of an independent contractor and not an employee, agent, joint venturer, or partner of Company, except that Company acts as a payment collection agent. Company does not direct or control Your listing, and You understand that You have complete discretion whether and when to provide Reservations, and at what price and on what terms to offer them.
Creating and Managing Your Listing. Company’s Platform provides tools that make it easy for You to set up and manage a listing. Your listing must include complete and accurate information about Your property, Your price (including any additional charges), and any rules or requirements that apply to Anglers or Your listing. You are responsible for Your acts or omissions as well as keeping Your listing information (including calendar availability) and content (like photos) up-to-date and accurate at all times. You are responsible for obtaining appropriate insurance for Your property and we suggest You carefully review policy terms and conditions including coverage details and exclusions. You may only maintain one listing per fishing area, but may have multiple listings for a single property if it has multiple fishing areas.
Know Your Legal Obligations. You are responsible for understanding and complying with any laws, rules, regulations, and contracts with third parties that apply to Your listing or property. For example: Some properties may be subject to conservation easements, deed restrictions, or homeowners’ association rules that restrict or prohibit commercial activity or public access. Certain municipalities or townships in Pennsylvania may have zoning ordinances, land use regulations, or permitting requirements that apply to recreational access on private property. You should also verify that listing Your property does not conflict with any existing lease, license, or agreement with a third party (such as a hunting club or timber company). Check Your local rules to learn what rules apply to You. Information Company provides regarding legal requirements is for informational purposes only and You should independently confirm Your obligations. You are responsible for handling and using personal data of Anglers and others in compliance with applicable privacy laws and these Terms of Use, including Company’s Privacy Policy, located at https://www.hooksetr.com/privacy-policy. If You have questions about how local laws apply You should seek legal advice.
Landowner Responsibilities. You are responsible and liable for Your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone You allow to participate in providing a listing. You are responsible for setting Your price and establishing rules and requirements for Your listing. You must describe any and all additional fees and charges in Your listing description. You are also responsible for ensuring that all mandatory fees and charges applicable to Your listing are included in Your price breakdown. You may not collect any fees or charges outside Company’s Platform. Do not encourage Anglers to create third-party accounts, submit reviews, provide their contact information, or take other actions outside of Company’s Platform in violation of these Terms of Use.
Listing as a Team or Organization. If You work with a co-Landowner as part of a team, business, or other organization, You are responsible and liable as a Landowner under these Terms of Use for the acts and omissions of each entity and individual who participates in providing Your listing, and You are responsible for informing personnel engaged by You to deliver any listing, property, or services of Your obligations under these Terms of Use. If You accept terms or enter into contracts with third parties, You represent and warrant that You are authorized to enter into contracts for and bind Your team, business or other organization, and that each entity You use is in good standing under the laws of the place where it is established. If You perform other functions, You represent and warrant that You are authorized to perform those functions. If You instruct Company to transfer a portion of Your payout to a co-Landowner or other Landowners, or send payments to someone else, You must be authorized to do so, and are responsible and liable for the payment amounts and accuracy of any payout information You provide.
Assumption of Risk and Landowner Indemnification. You acknowledge that listing Your property for fishing access carries inherent risks and agree that You assume the entire risk arising out of Your access to and use of Company’s Platform, offering Your listing, or any interaction You have with other Anglers or Landowners whether in person or online. You agree that You have had the opportunity to investigate Company’s Platform and any laws, rules, regulations, or obligations that may be applicable to Your listing or property and that You are not relying upon any statement of law made by Company. To the fullest extent permitted by Pennsylvania law, You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to (a) the condition of Your property, including any undisclosed hazards, defects, or dangers; (b) any injury, illness, death, or property damage suffered by an Angler or Angler’s guest on Your property; (c) Your breach of any representation, warranty, or obligation under these Terms of Use; or (d) Your failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or third-party agreements relating to Your property or listing, in each case excluding claims to the extent caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct, or intentional acts of Company.
Insurance Obligations. You agree to obtain and maintain at Your expense primary insurance covering Your liability and the liability of any of Your employees or agents working with You or on Your behalf for third party bodily injury and property damage arising from an Angler’s use of Your property during a Reservation. You agree to cooperate with Company to verify all insurance You are required to maintain, including promptly providing proof of such insurance upon request. If any insurance You are required to maintain under this Section 10 lapses or is cancelled, You agree to notify Company immediately.
Cancelations and Reservation Issues. In general, if an Angler cancels a Reservation, the amount paid to You is determined by the cancellation policy that applies to that Reservation. As a Landowner, You should not cancel on an Angler without a valid reason. If You cancel on an Angler without such a valid reason, Company may impose a cancellation fee and other consequences on You. If: (i) an Angler experiences an issue with their Reservation, (ii) a force majeure event arises under Section 33 of General Terms, or (iii) a Reservation is canceled under these Terms of Use, the amount You are paid will be reduced by the amount we refund or otherwise provide to the Angler, and by any other reasonable costs Company incurs as a result of the cancellation. If an Angler receives a refund after You have already been paid, or the amount of the refund and other costs incurred by Company exceeds Your payout, Company may recover that amount from You, including by deducting the refund against Your future payouts. You agree that these Terms of Use preempt the cancellation policy You set in situations where they allow for the cancellation of a Reservation and/or the issuance of refunds to Anglers. If Company reasonably expects to provide a refund to an Angler under one of these policies, Company may delay release of any payout for that Reservation until a refund decision is made.
Booking Modifications. Landowners and Anglers are responsible for any Booking Modifications they agree to make via the Company’s Platform or Company’s customer service to make on their behalf, and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees or taxes associated with a Booking Modification.
Taxes. As a Landowner, You are responsible for determining and fulfilling Your obligations under applicable laws to report, collect, remit, or include in Your price any applicable income taxes, state or local taxes, or other taxes arising from income received through Company’s Platform ("Taxes"). Tax regulations may require that Company collect and/or report Tax information about You, or withhold Taxes from payouts to You, or both. If You fail to provide Company with documentation that Company determines to be sufficient to support any such obligation to withhold Taxes from payouts to You, Company may withhold payouts up to the amount as required by law, until sufficient documentation is provided. You acknowledge that You are solely responsible for consulting with a qualified tax professional regarding Your tax obligations in connection with income received through Company’s Platform.
