## Policy

Hosts may not submit false, altered or misleading information (e.g. fake insurance documents, altered invoices, altered photos, etc.) for vehicle damage, smoking or cleaning claims, or reimbursement for incidental requests excluded under our [Terms of Service](https://turo.com/policies/terms) or earnings plan policies.

#### Examples of material misrepresentation

*   Altering any photos to cause the damage to appear to be larger than wear and tear
*   Submitting falsified, inaccurate, fake, or staged photographs, documentation, estimates, receipts, or invoices
*   Altering invoices, receipts, or documentation for damage claims or reimbursement requests.
*   Submitting recycled or reused invoices, documentation, or photographs for reimbursement or incidental requests

**Note:** This list is not all inclusive.
