Terms of use

These terms apply to everyone who uses Hoyga: visitors, buyers, renters and the agents, developers and private owners who post listings. By using the site you agree to them.

1. What Hoyga is – and is not

• Hoyga is an advertising board where property can be advertised and where buyers and sellers can find each other.
• Hoyga is not a broker or estate agent. We are not part of any sale or rental, we do not negotiate, and no money for properties goes through Hoyga.
• Hoyga does not verify ownership, title deeds, prices or any other information in listings. Always check ownership with a lawyer or notary before you pay anything. Read our buying guide.

2. Accounts

• You must be at least 18 years old to create an account.
• The information you give (name, WhatsApp number, email) must be true and your own. One WhatsApp number may only be used for one account.
• Keep your password secret. You are responsible for everything done with your account.
• New accounts and their first listings are checked by us before they are shown.

3. Your listings

When you post a listing, you confirm that:

• you are the owner, or you have the owner's permission to advertise the property;
• the property exists and is available, and the price, location, size and photos are correct;
• the photos are your own or you have the right to use them;
• you will mark the listing as sold or rented as soon as it is no longer available.

You are fully responsible for your listings and for any agreement you make with buyers or renters.

4. Not allowed

• Fake, misleading or duplicate listings, or property you have no right to sell or rent.
• Asking for deposits or payments before the buyer has been able to check the property and papers.
• Copying listings, photos or text from other websites or agents without permission.
• Offensive, discriminatory or illegal content.
• Using the site to send spam, collect other users' details, or harm the site.

5. Our rights

We may, without notice and at our own judgement, refuse, edit or remove any listing, and block or delete any account, for example after reports from visitors or if we suspect fraud. Listings expire after 60 days unless the agent renews them.

6. Contact between users

Buyers contact sellers directly by WhatsApp or phone. Any agreement is made only between buyer and seller. Hoyga is not responsible for what is agreed, paid or delivered.

7. Price

Posting listings is free. We may introduce paid extras later (for example featured listings). We will announce them clearly before they start, and nothing will be charged without your agreement.

8. Liability

The site is provided "as it is". We do our best to keep it working and safe, but we cannot guarantee that it is always available or free of errors. To the extent the law allows, Hoyga is not liable for any loss arising from listings, from agreements between users, or from use of the site.

9. Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. If you keep using the site after a change, the new terms apply.

10. Law and contact

These terms are governed by the law of Norway. Questions or complaints: contact@hoygahomes.com. See also our privacy policy.
