Guidelines and conditions for using our services
Last updated: 19/10/2026
1. General presentation
Welcome to Colocationsparis.com. By accessing the website and using its services, you accept these Terms of Use without reservation. If you do not accept them, you are invited not to use the platform.
Colocationsparis.com is a platform putting in contact private individuals wishing to offer or to look for shared accommodation, a room, a bed space, or accommodation provided free of charge in exchange for services.
The Privacy policy, available on the website, forms an integral part of these terms. The User acknowledges having read and accepted it.
2. Definitions
Platform / Website: the Colocationsparis.com website and all of its features.
User: any person browsing the website, whether registered or not.
Advertiser: a User publishing a listing offering accommodation or seeking accommodation.
Services: all the features offered by the platform, including the publication of listings, the search tools, the internal messaging service and any paid promotion services.
Website publisher: the legal operator of the Colocationsparis.com website, as identified in Article 20. That capacity concerns the publication of the website itself and not the content of the listings submitted by Users, the regime of which is set out in Article 13.
3. Nature of the service
Colocationsparis.com acts exclusively as a technical intermediation platform.
The platform:
- is not a party to any tenancy agreement;
- does not take part in private exchanges;
- receives no rent;
- represents neither the landlord nor the tenant;
- carries out no viewing, no valuation, no drafting of deeds and no brokerage in the conclusion of agreements.
Agreements concluded between Users are their sole responsibility.
4. How the platform works
4.1 Searching and browsing
Users may freely browse listings and use the search tools according to the criteria available.
4.2 Publishing listings
To publish a listing, the User must:
- create an account;
- provide accurate information;
- hold the necessary rights over the accommodation concerned.
Certain visibility options may be offered as paid services.
4.3 Prior verification of listings
Listings are verified before publication, with a view to limiting fraudulent content and content that does not comply with these terms.
That verification is carried out on the basis of the information provided by the Advertiser alone. It concerns the apparent compliance of the listing with these terms, to the exclusion of any investigation into the actual situation of the Advertiser or of the accommodation.
It constitutes neither a guarantee of the accuracy, lawfulness or availability of the accommodation, nor a validation of the Advertiser’s identity or reliability. Its purpose is not to confer on the platform any power of decision over the editorial content of listings, of which the Advertiser remains the sole author and the sole person responsible.
5. Paid services and featured listings
Users may subscribe to options giving their listings greater visibility, in particular:
- featured listings;
- temporary promotion.
These services influence neither the content of listings nor the decisions of other Users.
Where paid services are offered, their price, duration and conditions are stated before any subscription. In accordance with Article L. 221-28 of the French Consumer Code, a User who requests the immediate performance of a promotion service waives the right of withdrawal once the service has been fully performed.
6. Content published by Users — ownership and publication licence
The Advertiser remains the owner of the content they publish (texts, photographs, descriptions).
By publishing a listing on Colocationsparis.com, the Advertiser grants the Website publisher a non-exclusive, royalty-free and worldwide licence to host, reproduce and communicate their listing, including its text and photographs, for the duration of its publication, for the following purposes:
- displaying the listing on the platform, in French and in English;
- promoting the listing on the website’s communication channels — in particular its Facebook page and group, its YouTube channel and its other social media — as well as on third-party groups, pages or platforms dedicated to housing, for the sole purpose of increasing the listing’s visibility.
As some of those channels are operated by companies established outside the European Union, such publication involves a transfer of data outside the European Union, under the conditions described in the Privacy policy.
The Advertiser’s personal contact details (email, telephone) are never published on those channels: interested persons are directed to the listing on the website.
The Advertiser may at any time request the withdrawal of such promotional publications by writing to contact@colocationsparis.com; withdrawal is carried out within 48 hours. Deleting the listing from the website entails the withdrawal of its promotional publications.
7. User responsibilities
Each User undertakes to:
- comply with French law;
- publish only lawful listings;
- refrain from publishing misleading, fraudulent or untruthful content;
- comply with the rules applicable to flatsharing, subletting and letting between private individuals;
- comply with non-discrimination law, as set out in Article 17;
- publish only content (texts, photographs) to which they hold the rights.
The User remains solely responsible for the content they publish. That responsibility is not reduced by the prior verification described in Article 4.3, nor by the fact that the listing was drafted on their behalf by a third party.
8. Prohibited content
It is strictly prohibited to publish:
- unlawful or fraudulent content;
- offensive, hateful or discriminatory content, within the meaning of Article 17;
- fake listings;
- listings relating to accommodation over which the Advertiser holds no actual right.
The platform reserves the right to remove any non-compliant content without notice.
9. Property listings
Users publishing property listings declare:
- that they own the property or hold a valid authorisation;
- or that they hold the rights necessary for publication.
Property professionals must hold the authorisations required by law.
10. Minors
Registration and the publication of listings are reserved for persons of full age.
Any use of the website by a minor must take place under the responsibility of their legal representatives.
Listings offering accommodation in exchange for services that involve housing a minor are not accepted on the platform. Any such listing is refused at the prior verification stage or removed as soon as it comes to the platform’s knowledge.
11. The platform’s intellectual property
The structure of the website, its editorial texts, graphics, logos, trade marks and technical elements are the exclusive property of the Website publisher or are licensed to it. Any reproduction without written authorisation is prohibited.
This provision does not apply to content published by Users, which is governed by Article 6.
12. Reporting unlawful content
12.1 Who may report
Any person, whether or not registered on the website and whether or not personally affected by the content in question, may report a listing or content which they consider unlawful or contrary to these terms. The reporting of a discriminatory listing is not subject to any infringement of the reporting person’s own rights.
12.2 How to report
A reporting link is available from every listing page. A report may also be sent by email to contact@colocationsparis.com.
The reporting grounds offered include, in particular: fraudulent listing; duplicate listing; wrong category; accommodation already taken; discriminatory content; other ground.
12.3 Information to be provided
In accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of 19 October 2022 on a Single Market for Digital Services, a report shall include:
- a sufficiently substantiated explanation of the reasons why the content is considered unlawful or contrary to these terms;
- a clear indication of the exact location of the content, namely the exact address of the page or the listing reference;
- the name and email address of the reporting person, except where the report concerns an offence for which that information is not required;
- a statement confirming the reporting person’s good-faith belief that the information provided is accurate.
No other information is requested. In particular, the reporting person is not required to state their occupation, nationality, or date or place of birth.
12.4 Handling of reports
The reporting person receives an acknowledgement of receipt. Every report is examined in a diligent, non-arbitrary and objective manner. Where the unlawful nature of the content is established, the platform promptly removes it or disables access to it, and informs the reporting person of the action taken and of the redress available.
12.5 Complaints
Any complaint relating to the operation of the website may be sent to contact@colocationsparis.com.
13. The platform’s liability regime
13.1 Content submitted by Users
As regards listings and other content submitted by Users, the platform provides a service consisting of the storage of information provided by the recipients of the service. The liability regime applicable to such a service is laid down in Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of 19 October 2022 on a Single Market for Digital Services, Article 8 of which excludes any general obligation to monitor the information stored and any general obligation actively to seek facts or circumstances indicating illegal activity.
The prior verification described in Article 4.3 is intended to prevent harm to Users, and in particular housing fraud. It is carried out according to objective criteria and involves no assessment of the appropriateness, quality or commercial interest of a listing.
13.2 Exclusions of liability
Colocationsparis.com cannot be held liable for:
- exchanges between Users;
- agreements concluded between private individuals;
- payments made outside the platform;
- tenancy disputes;
- the performance or non-performance of the services agreed in the context of accommodation in exchange for services.
The platform does not guarantee the solvency, the reliability or the good faith of Users. The verification described in Article 4.3 cannot engage the platform’s liability as to the accuracy, lawfulness or compliance of the listings published. Use of the platform is at Users’ sole responsibility.
14. Indemnification
The User undertakes to indemnify Colocationsparis.com against any claim, damage or proceedings arising from a use of the website that does not comply with these terms.
15. Suspension and termination
In the event of a breach of these terms, Colocationsparis.com reserves the right to:
- remove a listing;
- suspend an account;
- terminate access to the platform.
Listings submitted by a User who has already been the subject of a well-founded report for discriminatory or fraudulent content are subject to enhanced scrutiny upon subsequent submissions. Republishing content previously removed on that ground constitutes a breach of these terms and may lead to the permanent suspension of the account.
16. Amendment of the terms
These Terms of Use may be amended at any time. The version in force is the one published on the website on the date of consultation. The date of the last update appears at the top of this document.
17. Non-discrimination
17.1 Legal framework
Any distinction drawn between persons on the ground of their origin, sex, family situation, pregnancy, physical appearance, particular vulnerability resulting from their economic situation, surname, place of residence, state of health, loss of autonomy, disability, genetic characteristics, morals, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, political opinions, trade union activities, ability to express themselves in a language other than French, or their actual or supposed membership or non-membership of an ethnic group, a nation, a so-called race or a given religion, is prohibited.
Users are informed that:
- Article 225-1 of the French Criminal Code defines discrimination;
- Article 225-2, 4° of the French Criminal Code penalises making the supply of goods or services subject to a condition based on one of those grounds, an offence punishable by three years’ imprisonment and a fine of 45,000 euros;
- letting a room in shared accommodation constitutes the supply of a service within the meaning of those provisions;
- Article 1 of Law No. 89-462 of 6 July 1989 provides that no person may be refused the letting of accommodation on a discriminatory ground;
- Law No. 2008-496 of 27 May 2008 lays down various provisions implementing European Union law in the field of the fight against discrimination.
17.2 Cohabitation-related details
The sections of the website relating to the organisation of the accommodation, the living environment and cohabitation preferences are optional. Their sole purpose is to describe the practical conditions of a shared daily life and to improve compatibility between cohabitants.
They do not constitute selection criteria and cannot serve as the basis for a refusal of access to accommodation founded on one of the grounds listed in Article 17.1.
Every User remains free to leave all of those sections blank. The absence of such details cannot justify any refusal.
17.3 Drafting of listings
A listing must contain no mention excluding or setting aside persons on one of the grounds listed in Article 17.1.
The Advertiser is the sole author of, and solely responsible for, the drafting of their listing. It is for them to review it before it goes online, including where it was drafted on their behalf by a third party.
Any listing containing a discriminatory mention is refused at the prior verification stage or removed as soon as it comes to the platform’s knowledge, under the conditions set out in Articles 12 and 15.
18. Accommodation in exchange for services
In the context of listings offering accommodation in exchange for services, Users acknowledge that the platform does not take part in defining, performing or monitoring the services agreed.
Users are informed that making accommodation available in return for services may, depending on the circumstances, be analysed as remuneration in kind and fall within the rules applicable to the employment of a domestic worker, in particular as regards declarations and social security contributions.
It is for Users to ensure that the conditions offered comply with applicable law, in particular employment law, housing law and the law protecting persons.
Listings involving the housing of a minor are not accepted, in accordance with Article 10.
Colocationsparis.com accepts no responsibility as to the nature, the legal characterisation or the performance of such arrangements.
19. Fraud prevention
Users are invited to exercise vigilance in their dealings. Colocationsparis.com recommends never making a payment without having visited the accommodation and verified the identity of the other party.
The platform cannot be held liable in the event of fraud between Users.
