My Backyard Rentals ("we," "us," or "our") provides an online platform that connects property owners ("Hosts") who have private spaces available for rent with individuals seeking to rent such spaces ("Guests"). Our platform is accessible via our website at mybackyardrentals.com and any other websites through which My Backyard Rentals makes its services available.
