These Terms apply to the Platform only; the Terms do not apply to any third-party software, websites, and services integrated with the Platform.

During the registration process, you will be asked to submit your personal details (e.g., full name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and business information), read the Travel Verified Privacy Policy, and accept these Terms. We reserve the right to decline the registration of any Account for any reason whatsoever, at our sole discretion.

By creating the Account and providing details of a business entity, you confirm that you are an authorised employee, contractor, or representative of the business entity and have the necessary rights and authority to act on behalf of that entity. We are not responsible in any manner and bear no liability for your activities carried out without such authorisation.

We do not verify all Profile information and, therefore, we are not responsible for the truthfulness, completeness, and accuracy of the said information. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any Account or Profile that provides false or misleading information or otherwise violates any provision of these Terms.

You agree to supply us the requested information to keep your Account active. We reserve the right to temporarily suspend your Account during the verification process and terminate the Account if the verification fails.

2. Purpose of the Platform
   • Your relationship with us. The Owner provides the Platform for the purpose of facilitating transactions between the users, including exchanging travel advice, information, and negotiating and concluding travel service contracts (the “Service Contract”) by and between the users (the “Contractors”). If the users decide to enter into the Service Contract as a result of their communication through the Platform, they are deemed to be the Contractors. We do not intervene into the communication between the Contractors as well as negotiation, conclusion, and execution of the Service Contracts. Unless explicitly specified otherwise on the Platform, our responsibilities with regard to the Service Contracts are limited to facilitating the availability of the Platform. By using the Platform, users acknowledge and agree that the Contractors and not the Owner are solely responsible for providing or commissioning services under the Service Contracts and any information or warranties related thereto. We are not a party to the Service Contracts and, therefore, we are not liable for any direct, indirect, consequential or inconsequential loss or damage that results from the Service Contracts and any business transactions made between the Contractors as a result of their interactions through the Platform. The Contractors are entitled to (i) enter into additional agreements governing the Service Contracts (e.g., non-disclosure agreements) and (ii) agree on the terms and conditions of the Services Contracts, provided that (a) the agreed terms shall not expand or amend these Terms and (b) in case there is a conflict between the terms of the Service Contract and these Terms, the Terms shall prevail.

  2. Paying all applicable taxes, levies, duties, and other fees associated with payments made or received under the Service Contracts;
  3. Obtaining appropriate insurance related to the commissioned or provided services (e.g., liability, health, compensation, social security, disability, and unemployment) and making sure that the terms and conditions of the insurance policy do not contravene to the Terms;
  4. Determining whether necessary and, if necessary, issuing invoices for any the services rendered under the Service Contracts;

None of the references provided by the Owner or the users of the Platform in relation to any user of the Platform, including the Feedback, represents endorsement, certification or guarantee about any user, as well as the information or services provided by that user. The said references are based solely on unverified data that the users voluntarily provide; the Platform features references solely for the convenience of the users. We strongly encourage the users not to conclude any Service Contracts if the users have any doubts or concerns pertaining to other users. The users acknowledge and agree that:
  1. The Feedback will be available to all users of the Platform and a part of it may also be visible to the Internet users that are not registered on the Platform;
  2. The Feedback must not contain any false, misleading, defamatory or unlawfully disclosed information;
  3. The Owner does not control, monitor, influence, contribute to or censor the Feedback;
  4. The Owner is not responsible for the accuracy of the Feedback, even if the information in the Feedback violates these Terms;
  5. The Owner reserves the right but is not under any obligation to remove the Feedback that, in the Owner’s sole judgement, violates these Terms or has an adverse effect on the reputation of the Platform or our business interests; and
  6. The Feedback cannot be used for making employment, credit, underwriting, or similar decisions regarding the users.
• Disclosure of proprietary information. The users are solely responsible for the information that the users exchange through the Platform or disclose to the Owner, including, without limitation, any confidential or proprietary information. The user hereby recognises, acknowledges and agrees that it is the user’s sole responsibility to obtain all necessary permissions and authorisations to share such information. The user shall not  reveal, divulge or make known to any person any information that the user is not authorised to reveal, divulge or make known. The Owner shall not be liable in any manner for user’s breach of this section.

3. Contractual Relationships Between the Contractors

The users agree to keep in confidentiality and not to use, disclose or communicate in any manner any proprietary information about the Service Contracts, each other, their officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, operations, marketing strategies, software, codes, passwords and login information to email accounts, web pages, phone systems, ticket systems, pricing structure, clientele, or any other proprietary information that relates to the users. The said information is material and confidential.

On the disclosing party’s request, the receiving party shall promptly destroy or return all confidential information.

By concluding a service contract with us, you agree to pay the Fees for each billing cycle in accordance with these Terms and other terms and conditions in force at the moment the sale contract is concluded. If the Fees are payable on a subscription basis, (i) the Fees are billed at the beginning of each billing cycle, and (ii) unless you cancel the subscription prior to the expiration of the then-current subscription term, we will automatically renew your membership based on its renewal cycle and you will need to pay the Fees due.

   • Unless indicated otherwise, the Fees exclude all applicable sales taxes (e.g. VAT), levies, and other duties. You are responsible for paying the said taxes.
   • Payment processing. All payments are processed by our third-party payment processors. You are responsible for ensuring that all payment information is correct and the funds necessary for paying the Fees are available. You shall not hold us liable for payments that are not processed due to your error (e.g., incorrect payment information), the failure of the payment processors to process the Fees, or if the payment is refused for any other reason.
   • We may, but are under no obligation, issue refunds for the Fees paid, upon request of the user.
   • Cancellation of subscription. Your subscription must be cancelled at least 7 calendar days prior to expiration of then-current billing period through your Account to avoid automatic renewal and charge. If you cancel your subscription later, the cancellation will not be guaranteed. Your inactivity on the Platform does not substitute your request for the cancellation of your subscription.
