PROVIDER OBLIGATIONS:

As a Provider, you may create Profiles that showcase your experience, activities you can lead, and the type of Experiences you can help Guests plan. Profiles will be made publicly available via the Services, and other Members may contact you based upon the information provided in your Profile. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for your Profiles and your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals who are present during the Experience at your request or invitation, excluding the Guest (and the individuals the Guest invites to the Experience, if applicable). You agree to comply with the Verlocal Provider guidelines available at “www.verlocal.com/pages/guideline”. You understand and agree that Verlocal does not act as an insurer or as a contracting agent for you as a Provider. If a Guest requests your expertise for a Experience and participates in your Experience, any agreement you enter into with such Guest is between you and the Guest and Verlocal is not a party thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Verlocal serves as your limited authorized agent:

You are responsible for all other bookings, including without limitation on-the-ground arrangements, tours or experiences you host, restaurants and similar bookings.

You represent and warrant that your Profile and your planning of and/or guidance on any Experience:

Please note that Verlocal assumes no responsibility for any Provider’s or Guest’s compliance with any applicable laws, rules and regulations. Verlocal reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Profile for any reason, including Profiles that Verlocal, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms or otherwise harmful to the Services.

Please also note that Verlocal reserves the right to block hosts’ accounts and/or deactivate their listings indefinitely especially if the host in question displays unreliable behavior by not updating the experience calendar accurately, not responding to received messages in a timely manner (i.e. within 48 hours of receiving request), not responding to requests in a timely manner (i.e. within 48 hours of receiving the request), and achieving an acceptance rate of requests of less than 80%.

Verlocal recommends that Providers and Guests obtain appropriate insurance for their Experiences. Please review any insurance policy that you may have for your Experience carefully, and in particular please make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of Guests (and the individuals the Guest invites to the Experience, if applicable) while participating in your Experience.

NO ENDORSEMENT:

Verlocal does not endorse any Experiences. In addition, although these Terms require users to provide accurate information, we do not attempt to confirm, and do not confirm, any user’s purported identity. You are responsible for determining the identity and suitability of others who you contact via the Services. We will not be responsible for any damage or harm resulting from your interactions with other users. By using the Services, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other users or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular user or other third parties who caused you harm and you agree not to attempt to impose liability on, or seek any legal remedy from Verlocal with respect to such actions or omissions. Accordingly, we encourage you to communicate directly with other users via the Services regarding any bookings or Trips made by you. This limitation shall not apply to any claim by a Provider against Verlocal regarding (i) the remittance of payments received from a Guest by Verlocal on behalf of a Provider or (ii) the failure of Verlocal to book a Verlocal Booking for which the Guest provided accurate booking information, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled “Limitation of Liability”.

CONDITIONS OF USE

BOOKINGS AND FINANCIAL TERMS FOR PROVIDERS:

HOSTS (Providers who lead activities). Except in the case of a Pre-Approved Event (as defined below), if you are a Host and a booking is requested for your Experience via the Services, you will be required to either confirm or reject the booking within the specified timeframe (which is generally within 24-48 hours of when the booking is requested, as determined by Verlocal in its sole discretion) or the booking request will be automatically cancelled. If you are unable to confirm or decide to reject a booking of an Experience within the specified timeframe, any amounts collected by Verlocal for the requested booking will be refunded to the applicable Guest’s credit card and any pre-authorization of such credit card will be released. You may be able to create a Listing that is pre-scheduled for a specific time and date, where the Guest’s booking may be automatically confirmed (a “Pre-Approved Event”). When a booking is requested via the Services, we may share with your basic profile of the Guest who has requested the booking and a link to the Guest’s Verlocal Account profile page. The fee displayed in each Listing is comprised of the Experience Fees (defined below). Where applicable, Taxes may be charged in addition to the Experience Fees. The Experience Fees, Guest Fees (defined below) and applicable Taxes are collectively referred to in these Terms as the “Total Fees”. The amounts due and payable by a Guest solely relating to a Host’s Experience are the “Experience Fees”. Please note that it is the Host and not Verlocal which determines the Experience Fees. Verlocal charges a service fee to Providers of 15% of applicable Experience Fees the “Host Fees”. The Guest Fees are added to the Experience Fees to calculate the Total Fees (which will also include applicable Taxes). Verlocal will collect the Total Fees at the time of booking confirmation (i.e. when the Host confirms the booking within the specified timeframe) and will initiate payout of the Experience Fees (less Host Fees) to the Host within 24 hours of when the Guest arrives at the applicable Experience (except to the extent that a refund is due to the Guest). However, please note that we will not be responsible for delays in remitting Experience Fees, which can vary based on the bank, currency, location, etc.

Since Verlocal reserves the right to charge back from Providers the Reservation Amount they received for organizing certain experience if upon the receipt of a complaint by a Guest with respect to such Experience, it believes, at its sole discretion, that such Experience was not compatible with Verlocal’s standards of service or in case of any misconduct of the Provider. If the Experience did not satisfy the expectations of the Guest, the Guest will have 48 hours after the Experience to submit a claim for a potential refund. If the claim is submitted after the 48-hour period, then it will be invalid for any restitution from Verlocal since the payment for the experience has already been processed. The Guest will need to contact the Provider of the Experience directly in order to receive a refund after the 48-hour period.

BOOKINGS AND FEES FOR GUESTS:

Guests that wish to request the assistance of a Provider via the Services may directly contact Providers with a request. The Provider should propose an Experience itinerary after which the Guest and the Provider should continue to communicate to finalize the itinerary. Once the itinerary is finalized, the Provider will either:

Please note Verlocal will charge a non-refundable service fee (“Guest Fee”) on top of the price quote. Guest Fee is 5% of the Experience Fee. The Provider is responsible for all bookings (“Provider Bookings”). As part of the Booking, Guests may be required to enter into an agreement (including releases) with the Provider, and the Guest agrees to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with the Itinerary imposed by the Provider. Guest acknowledges and agrees that Verlocal is not a party to any agreement between the Guest and Provider, and that, with the exception of its payment obligations and obligations related to Verlocal Bookings hereunder, Verlocal disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements. Guest acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the fact that Verlocal is not a party to any agreements between Guest and the Provider, Verlocal acts as the Provider’s payment agent for the limited purpose of accepting payments from Guest on behalf of the Provider. Upon Guest’s payment of amounts to Verlocal which are due to the Provider, Guest’s payment obligation to the Provider for such amounts is extinguished, and Verlocal is responsible for remitting such amounts, less Verlocal’s fees and commissions, to the Provider. In the event that Verlocal does not remit any such amounts to a Provider, such Provider will have recourse only against Verlocal.

Please note that the actual amount charged by third parties for various items in the Itinerary may differ from the price quoted in the Booking, as prices may fluctuate before each booking is confirmed. If the actual prices are higher than the Total Fees, the Provider will contact you to request your permission prior to booking.

CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS:

HOSTS (Providers who lead activities). These terms and conditions govern the Verlocal Guest Refund Policy (the “Guest Refund Policy”) available to Guests who book and pay for an Experience listed by a Host through the Verlocal platform (the “Site”) and suffer a Guest Issue and the obligations of the Host associated with the Guest Refund Policy.

PROMOTION RESTRICTIONS

Discounts Codes cannot be used in conjunction with reward points to purchase. Discount Codes cannot be applied to corporate/private events that are organized through Verlocal’s Concierge Service or with help from Verlocal’s Support Team. Promotions and discount codes are not applicable to bundle purchases and point purchases. If promotion states “applies to all offerings” or any other similar statement, the promotion is applicable to all regular bookings and purchases excluding those for bundles and points.

EXPERIENCE ISSUE

A “Guest Issue” means any one of the following:

THE GUEST REFUND POLICY.

If you are a Guest and suffer a Guest Issue, we agree, at our discretion, to either (i) reimburse you up to the amount paid by you through the Site, as determined by Verlocal in our discretion, depending on the nature of the Guest Issue suffered or (ii) use our reasonable efforts to find and book you another Experience which in our determination is reasonably comparable to the Experience described in your original reservation in terms of content and quality. For clarity, in the event the alternative Experience is of a higher price than the former, you may be responsible for any difference in price. In the event the alternative Experience is of a lower price, you may be entitled to a partial refund for the difference. All determinations of Verlocal with respect to the Guest Refund Policy, including without limitation the size of any refund, shall be final and binding on the Guests and Hosts.

Hosts will not be able to cancel the event within 36 hours prior to the start time of the experience. This is to ensure that every guest is not taken by surprise and may plan ahead of time. Hosts who must cancel within that time frame must contact Verlocal or contact the guest regarding a reschedule (which must be done at least 24 hours before the start time of the experience).

Discount codes cannot be applied retroactively. At our discretion, we may deposit a number of points to your account as a replacement.

Bundle purchases and point purchases are nonrefundable.

Please always confirm your final checkout price before submitting your request.

CONDITIONS TO CLAIM AN EXPERIENCE ISSUE.

Only a Guest may submit a claim for a Guest Issue. If you are a Guest, in order to submit a valid claim for a Guest Issue and receive the benefits with respect to your reservation, you are required to meet each of the following conditions:

MINIMUM QUALITY STANDARDS, HOST RESPONSIBILITIES AND REIMBURSEMENT TO GUEST.

If you are a Host, you are responsible for ensuring that the Experiences you list on the Site meet minimum quality standards regarding adequacy of the description on the Site, safety, health, and do not present a Guest with Guest Issues. Throughout the Experience, Hosts should be available in order to try, in good faith, to resolve Host issues.

If you are a Host, and if (i) Verlocal determines that a Guest has suffered a Guest Issue related to an Experience listed by you and (ii) Verlocal either reimburses that Guest any amount up to the amount paid by the Guest through the Site for the Experience or provides an alternative Experience to the Guest, you agree to reimburse or refund Verlocal up to the amount paid by Verlocal within 30 days of Verlocal’s request. All determinations of Verlocal with respect to the Guest Refund Policy, including without limitation the size of any refund to the Guest, shall be final and binding on the Guests and Hosts. You also agree that in order for you to reimburse Verlocal up to the amount paid by Verlocal, Verlocal may off-set or reduce any amounts owed by Verlocal to you by this amount. If the Guest is rescheduled to an alternative Experience, you may lose part or all of the Experience Fee payment for the booking and you may be responsible for reasonable additional costs incurred to reschedule the Guest to the alternative Experience.

The rights of the Guests under the Guest Refund Policy supersede the cancellation policy that otherwise applies to a particular Experience. If you dispute the Guest Issue you may notify us in writing ([email protected]) or via telephone and provide us with information (including evidence) disputing the claims regarding the Guest Issue, provided you must have used reasonable and good faith efforts to try to remedy the Guest Issue with the Guest prior to disputing the Guest Issue claim (and you must provide evidence of having done so). You agree that all determinations of Verlocal with respect to the Guest Issue shall be final and binding on the Guests and Hosts regardless of your submission of a dispute against such Guest Issue. In the event of one or more Guest Issues, Verlocal, in its discretion, may elect to take additional actions. These actions include, but are not limited to, negatively affecting your listing ranking, automated reviews or notifications indicating Guest Issues, canceling future bookings, suspending or removing the listing of the Experience or imposing penalties or fees for the administrative burden associated with the Guest Issues.

GENERAL PROVISIONS.

(a) No Assignment/No Insurance. This Guest Refund Policy is not intended to constitute an offer to insure, does not constitute insurance or an insurance contract, does not take the place of insurance obtained or obtainable by the Guest, and the Guest has not paid any premium in respect of the Guest Refund Policy. The benefits provided under this Guest Refund Policy are not assignable or transferable by you. (b) Modification or Termination. Verlocal reserves the right to modify or terminate this Guest Refund Policy, at any time, in its sole discretion, and without prior notice. (c) If Verlocal modifies this Guest Refund Policy, we will post the modification on the Site or provide you with notice of the modification and Verlocal will continue to process all claims for Travel Issues made prior to the effective date of the modification. (d) Entire Agreement and Definitions. This Guest Refund Policy constitutes the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Verlocal and you regarding the Guest Refund Policy and supersedes and replaces any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Verlocal and you regarding the Guest Refund Policy. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Verlocal Terms of Service. Controlling Law. This Guest Refund Policy will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California and the United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. (e) Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL VERLOCAL’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS VERLOCAL POLICY TERMS, EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF THE EXPERIENCE FEES COLLECTED BY VERLOCAL FROM THE GUESTS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, BY POSTING A LISTING OR BOOKING AN EXPERIENCE OR OTHERWISE USING THE SITE, SERVICES AS A HOST OR GUESTS, YOU ARE INDICATING THAT YOU HAVE READ, AND THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE POLICY TERMS.

Providers who plan experiences. Guests are free to reject any Itinerary for any reason prior to payment. Once an Itinerary is confirmed by a Guest, any fees paid are non-refundable except as set forth below:

GUEST CANCELS.

Verlocal will endeavor to refund Guest the fees paid for any Itinerary items that have not yet been booked, minus the Guest Fee. Fees for Itinerary items that have already been booked are non-refundable. = If Guest cancels the booking at least 48 hours prior to the start of the experience, Verlocal will endeavor to refund the Guest the fees paid for said Itinerary items booked in full, minus the Guest fee. If Guest cancels the booking between 48 and 24 hours prior to the start of the experience, Verlocal will endeavor to refund the Guest half of the fees paid for said Itinerary items booked, minus the Guest fee. If Guest cancels the booking under 24 hours prior to the start of the experience, Verlocal will not refund the Guest any fees paid for said Itinerary items booked. In the case that the Host of the experience is a MasterHost, the Guest must cancel 5 full business days prior to the start of the experience in order to receive a full refund of the fees paid for said Itinerary items booked, minus the Guest fee. Also in the case that the Host of the experience is a MasterHost, the Guest must cancel between 5 and 3 full business days prior to the start of the experience in order to receive a half refund of the fees paid for said Itinerary items booked, minus the Guest fee.

PROVIDER CANCELS.

Whenever possible Verlocal will connect Guest to an alternate Provider who can fulfill request. If not, Verlocal will refund the Total Fees for such booking to the applicable Guest within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation.

CANCELLATION DUE TO OUTSIDE FACTORS.

Certain Experiences may depend on factors outside either party’s control, such as weather (“Outside Factors”). The Provider has the discretion as to whether Outside Factors will prevent the Experience from taking place. As a Provider, if you need to cancel an Experience due to Outside Factors, you must contact the Guest and Verlocal (at [email protected]) as early as possible. Subject to the Guest’s consent, the Provider and the Guest may choose to reschedule the Experience for another date. If the Experience cannot be rescheduled, the Guest should contact Verlocal so we may assist in finding a replacement Experience. For clarity, in the event the alternative Experience is of a higher price than the former, you may be responsible for any difference in price. In the event the alternative Experience is of a lower price, you may be entitled to a partial refund for the difference. As a Guest, if you have contacted Verlocal as provided above and Verlocal is unable to find you a replacement Experience, Verlocal may refund the Total Fees for such booking to the applicable Guest within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation.

YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT VERLOCAL WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF VERLOCAL HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, RESULTING FROM: (I) THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE; (II) THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND SERVICES RESULTING FROM ANY GOODS, DATA, INFORMATION OR SERVICES PURCHASED OR OBTAINED OR MESSAGES RECEIVED OR TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO THROUGH OR FROM THE SERVICE; (III) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR DATA; (IV) STATEMENTS OR CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICE; OR (V) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE SERVICE.

ARBITRATION:

At Verlocal’s or your election, all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to the Terms of Service or the Service that are not resolved by mutual agreement may be resolved by binding arbitration to be conducted before JAMS, or its successor. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, arbitration will be held in Redwood City, California before a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, or if the parties cannot mutually agree, a single arbitrator appointed by JAMS, and will be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by JAMS unless specifically modified in the Terms of Service. The arbitration must commence within forty-five (45) days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by either party. The arbitrator’s decision and award will be made and delivered within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of the arbitration and within six (6) months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator will not have the power to award damages in excess of the limitation on actual compensatory, direct damages set forth in the Terms of Service and may not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under the Terms of Service, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages. The arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, assess costs and expenses (including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing part) against any party to a proceeding. Any party refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrators will be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm. The provisions of this arbitration section will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

TERMINATION:

You agree that Verlocal, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if Verlocal believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Verlocal may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of this Terms of Service may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Verlocal may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that Verlocal will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.

USER DISPUTES:

You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other user in connection with the Service and Verlocal will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. Verlocal reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and any other user of the Service.

GENERAL:

These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Verlocal and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Verlocal with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third-party services, third-party content or third-party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and Verlocal agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Santa Clara County, California. The failure of Verlocal to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign this Terms of Service without the prior written consent of Verlocal, but Verlocal may assign or transfer this Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Service may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Service.
