By accessing or using the Site or Services you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older.

How the Site and Services Work

The Site and Services can be used to facilitate the listing and booking of travel and other experiences  ("Activities "). Such Activities  are included in Listings on the Site and Services by Vendors directly -where applicable- or by theTravelPorter on their behalf, as mutually agreed. You may view Listings as an unregistered visitor to the Site, and Services; however, if you wish to proceed with a booking of an Activity  or create a Listing, you must first register by providing your name and e-mail address and other information as reasonably requested.

theTravelPorter  is not an owner or operator of Activities , including, but not limited to, tours, excursions, any form of accommodations, air tickets, nor is it a provider of Activities, including, but not limited to, tours, excursions, any form of accommodations and air tickets and theTravelPorter  does not own, sell, resell, provide, rent, re-rent, manage and/or control relevant gear, crafts and other relevant means required to cater such Activities , including, but not limited to, bikes, crafts, sports gear required for the execution of the Activities ,  nor transportation or travel services. Unless explicitly specified otherwise in theTravelPorter platform, theTravelPorter’s responsibilities are limited to: (i) facilitating the availability of the Site and Services and (ii) facilitating a payments method for Vendors to be able to accept payments from Users for Activities booked and for this purpose we cooperate with the Payment Service Processor Stripe (https://stripe.com/gb).  As of December 2016 we also accept payments via Paypal (https://www.paypal.com/).

PLEASE NOTE THAT, AS STATED ABOVE, THE SITE AND SERVICES ARE INTENDED TO BE USED TO FACILITATE VENDORS  AND USERS  CONNECTING AND BOOKING ACTIVITIES  WITH EACH OTHER. THETRAVELPORTER  CAN CONTRIBUTE AND ADVISE ACCORDINGLY BUT ULTIMATELY CANNOT AND DOES NOT CONTROL THE CONTENT CONTAINED IN ANY LISTINGS AND ALTHOUGH TAKES EVERY EFFORT TO VET VENDORS TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE AND FOR THE INTEREST OF THE USERS, CANNOT AND DOES NOT CONTROL THE CONDITION, LEGALITY OR SUITABILITY OF ANY ACTIVITY OR GEAR/MEANS OF AN ACTIVITY . THETRAVELPORTER  IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RELATED TO ANY AND ALL LISTINGS AND ACTIVITIES. ACCORDINGLY, ANY BOOKINGS WILL BE MADE OR ACCEPTED AT THE MEMBER'S OWN RISK.

Account Registration

In order to book an Activity  or create a Listing, you must register, sign in or create an account ("theTravelPorter  Account") and become a Member, by providing the information requested by us, including but not limited to full name and email as well as other contact information/details as necessary. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during this process. theTravelPorter reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access, booking or Listing to the Site and Services if any information provided during this process or thereafter -as reasonably requested- proves to be inaccurate, fraudulent, not current or incomplete. You may register to join the Services directly via the Site , our newsletters or relevant applications which facilitate registration and sign up to theTravelPorter, such as our social media official accounts.

Activity  Listings

As a Member having created theTravelPorter Account, you may create Listings. To create a Listing, you will be asked a variety of questions about the Activity  to be listed, including, but not limited to, the location, activity details, pictures, group sizes, itinerary,  other features and availability of the Activity  and pricing and related rules and financial terms. In order to be featured in Listings via the Site and Services, all Activities  must have valid physical addresses and be subject to final approval by theTravelPorter. Listings will be made publicly available via the Site and Services. Other Members or Users will be able to find and book your Activity  via the Site and Services based upon the information provided in your Listing. You understand and agree that once a User  requests a booking of your Activity , you may not request the User  to pay a higher price than in the booking request.

Vendors also understand and agree that Vendor Fees will be paid in accordance with these Terms and the Vendor Agreement. Each Vendor represents and warrants that the Activity Fees offered to theTravelPorter are the lowest prices offered by the Vendor to any distributor of these Activities (the “Low Price Guarantee”). If a Vendor offers Activities or enters into an agreement to provide Activities through or to a third party (including without limitation through any other distribution channels, such as coupons, deal-of-the-day or flash sale websites) for a lower price or rate or under a lower pricing or rate arrangement or formula (including without limitation for no fee) than the then-current Activity Fee indicated on to the Travel Porter, then such Vendor will promptly notify theTravelPorter and provide to theTravelPorter such lower price or rate or pricing or rate arrangement or formula retroactively as of the date first provided to such other third party. If a Vendor fails to comply with this provision, theTravelPorter shall have the right, in our sole discretion, to either suspend the Vendor or terminate the Vendor Agreement in accordance with the Vendor Agreement and these Terms.

 You acknowledge and agree that you alone are responsible for any and all Listings and Member Content you post. While theTravelPorter may assist, at our own discretion and under terms that may change upon written notification to Vendors, to complete such Listings, the Content and all responsibility of any amendments, corrections or updates lie solely to the Vendor. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that your Listings and the booking of, or a User’s  participation/purchase of, an Activity  in a Listing you post (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws (such as travel agent  laws and laws governing relevant sports activities, classes, bike rentals, but not limited to the above), Tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Activity included in a Listing you post (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties. Please note that theTravelPorter assumes no responsibility for a Vendor’s  compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations. theTravelPorter reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Listing for any reason, including Listings that theTravelPorter, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms or the Vendor Agreement, or otherwise harmful to the Site or Services.

If you are a Vendor, you understand and agree that theTravelPorter does not act as an insurer or as your contracting agent. If a User requests a booking of your Activity and uses  your Activity, any agreement you enter into with such User is between you and the User and theTravelPorter is not a party to it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment process stated on the Site and/or communicated to you by theTravelPorter is the only acceptable method of payment and  serves as the limited authorised payment collection procedure  of the Vendor for the purpose of accepting, on behalf of the Vendor, payments from Users of such amounts stipulated by the Vendor (including other fees as stated and Taxes).

When you create a Listing, you may also choose to include certain requirements which must be met by the Members who are eligible to request a booking of your Activity, such as requiring Members to have a verified ID, certain age, physical stamina or license, and a verified phone number, in order to book your Activity. Any Member wishing to book Activities  included in Listings with such requirements must meet these requirements.

If you are a Vendor, you acknowledge and agree that, as a Vendor , you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals who participate at or are otherwise present at the Activity  at your request or invitation, excluding the Users  and the individuals the User invites or shares  the Activity with, where applicable.

theTravelPorter  recommends that Vendors  obtain appropriate insurance for their Activities. Please review any insurance policy that you may have for your Activities  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 Users  (and the individuals the Users  invites to or share with the Activity, if applicable) on the course of your Activity.

theTravelPorter may offer Vendors  the option of having photographers take photographs of their Activities at a fee or as mutually agreed. If you as a Vendor choose to have a photographer do this, the photographs taken will be made available to you to include in your Listing with a watermark or tag bearing the words "theTravelPorter  Verified Photo" or similar wording ("Verified Images"). You agree that you alone are responsible for ensuring that your Listing is accurately represented in the Verified Images. You alone are responsible for using the Verified Images and you warrant that you will cease to use the Verified Images or any other images if such images cease to accurately represent your Listing. All images, materials and content created by these photographers, including Verified Images, constitute theTravelPorter Content, regardless of whether you include them in your Listing. You agree that theTravelPorter may use the Verified Images for advertising, marketing, commercial and other business purposes in any media or platform, whether in relation to your Listing or otherwise, without further notice or compensation.

No Endorsement

theTravelPorter does not endorse any Member, however may endorse an Activity  at it’s sole discretion for the purposes of blog posts, promotions and marketing of the Site and Services. You understand that Verified Images are intended only to indicate a photographic representation of the Activity at the time the photograph was taken. Verified Images are therefore not an endorsement by theTravelPorter of any Member or any Activity. Members are required by these Terms to provide accurate information, and theTravelPorter  does  not make any representations about, confirm, or endorse any Member User or the Member's purported identity or background. Also, while Members Vendors are required by these Terms to provide accurate information, and although theTravelPorter may undertake additional checks and processes designed to help verify or check the identities or backgrounds of Vendors and their Activities, we do not make any representations about, confirm, or endorse any Member Vendor in principle  or the Member's purported identity or background.

Any references in the Site or Services to a Member being "verified" or "connected" (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification process, and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by theTravelPorter about any Member, including of the Member's identity and whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. Instead, any such description is intended to be useful information for you to evaluate when you make your own decisions about the identity and suitability of others whom you contact or interact with via the Site and Services. We therefore recommend that you always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to use  a Vendor  or to accept a booking request from a User, or to have any other interaction with any other Member. theTravelPorter is  not responsible for any damage or harm resulting from your interactions with other Members.

By using the Site or Services, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other Members or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Members or other third parties who caused you harm. You agree not to attempt to impose liability on or seek any legal remedy from theTravelPorter with respect to such actions or omissions. Accordingly, we encourage you to share comments with the Site directly regarding any bookings or Listings. This limitation shall not apply to any claim by a Vendor  against theTravelPorter  regarding the remittance of payments received from a User  on behalf of a Vendor , which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled "Limitation of Liability".

Bookings and Financial Terms

Key definitions

"Activity  Fees" means the amounts that are due and payable by a User in exchange for that User’s  purchase and use of an Activity and include relevant Taxes. The Vendor  alone, and not theTravelPorter, is responsible for the Activity  Fees for his or her Listing, including but not limited to any notification of any price updates and special offers. The Vendor  may in his or her sole discretion decide to include in these amounts any other fee permitted on theTravelPorter platform as long as it is explicitly stated and as long as the Activity Fee is in line with the Low Price Guarantee.  

"User Fees" , where and when applicable, means the fee that theTravelPorter  charges a User  for the use of the Services, which is calculated as a percentage of the applicable Activity  Fees. The User  Fees, where and when applicable, will be displayed to the User when the User  is asked whether to send a booking request to a Vendor.

"Vendor Fees" means the fee that theTravelPorter  charges a Vendor  for the use of the Services, which is calculated as a percentage of the applicable Activity Fees. The Vendor  Fees are subject to mutual agreement and acceptance by theTravelPorter and the Vendor prior to a Listing under a Vendor Agreement and will be displayed to the Vendor  when the Vendor  is asked whether to confirm or reject a booking request from a prospective User.  

"Service Fees" means collectively the User  Fees (where/when applicable, as explicitly stated) and the Vendor Fees.  

"Total Fees" means collectively the Activity  Fees and the User  Fees plus any Taxes.

Bookings and Financial Terms for Vendors and Users

If you are a Vendor  and a booking is requested for your Activity  via the Site or Services, you will be required to either confirm or reject the booking request within the Booking Request Period, as per Vendor Agreement, otherwise the booking request will automatically expire. When a booking is requested via the Site or Services, we will share with you (i) the first and last name of the User  who has requested the booking, and (ii) an indication of whether or not the User has provided other information to theTravelPorter, such as a verified email address or special requests. If you are unable to confirm or decide to reject a booking request within the Booking Request Period, any amounts collected by theTravelPorter for the requested booking will be refunded to the applicable User’s  credit card and any pre-authorisation of such credit card will be released. When you confirm a booking requested by a User, theTravelPorter  will send you an email and/or text message confirming such booking, depending on the selections you make via the Site and Services.

theTravelPorter  will collect the Total Fees at the time of booking request via our Payment Service Processor, Stripe or other third party, which  will initiate payment of the Activity  Fees (less theTravelPorter’s  Vendor  Fees and any Taxes in respect of the Vendor  Fees, such as VAT in Europe) to the Vendor  in line with the Payment Terms of the Vendor Agreement (except to the extent that a refund is due to the User ). The time it takes for the Vendor to receive payouts may depend upon the payout method chosen by and mutually agreed with the Vendor. Some methods involve the use of third-party payment processors, who may impose their own additional charges for the use of their services on the Vendor , including by deducting their charges from the payout amount.

Each Vendor  agrees that payment made by a User to theTravelPorter through Stripe or Paypal, shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to the Vendor , and the Vendor  will make the Activity  available to the User  in the agreed-upon manner as if the Vendor  has received the Activity  Fees. Each Vendor  agrees that theTravelPorter  may, in accordance with the cancellation policy selected by the Vendor  and reflected in the relevant Listing, (i) permit the User  to cancel the booking and (ii) refund (via Stripe or Paypal and theTravelPorter) to the User  that portion of the Activity  Fees specified in the applicable cancellation policy. Each Vendor  understands that theTravelPorter through Stripe and (as of December 2016) Paypal accepts payments from Users  and that our obligation to pay the Vendor  is subject to and conditional upon successful receipt of the associated payments from Users. theTravelPorter  does not guarantee payments to Vendors  for amounts that have not been successfully received from Users.

Please note that theTravelPorter  does not currently charge fees for the creation of Listings. However, you as a Vendor  acknowledge and agree that theTravelPorter  reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to charge you for and collect fees from you for the creation of Listings. Please note that theTravelPorter  will provide notice of any Listing fee collection via the Site and Services, prior to implementing such a Listing fee feature.

Bookings and Financial Terms for Users

The Vendors, not theTravelPorter, are solely responsible for honouring any confirmed bookings and making available any Activity reserved through the Site and Services. If you, as a User, choose to enter into a transaction with a Vendor for the booking of an Activity , you agree and understand that you will be required to enter into an agreement with the Vendor  and you agree to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with such Activity  imposed by the Vendor. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not theTravelPorter, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any such agreements, that theTravelPorter is not a party to such agreements, and that, with the exception of its payment obligations hereunder, theTravelPorter disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements. You acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the fact that theTravelPorter is not a party to the agreement between you and the Vendor, the payment method imposed by theTravelPorter which may involve a third-party  acts as the Vendor’s  payment collection agent for the limited purpose of accepting payments from you on behalf of the Vendor. Upon your payment of the Total Fees to theTravelPorter Site, your payment obligation to the Vendor for the Activity  Fees is extinguished, and we are responsible for remitting the Activity  Fees (less the Vendor Fees and any Taxes in respect of the Vendor Fees, such as VAT in Europe), in the manner described in these Terms and the Vendor Agreement with each Vendor.

The Total Fees payable will be displayed to a User before the User sends a booking. As noted above, the Vendor is required to either confirm or reject the booking request within the Booking Request Period; otherwise, the requested booking will be automatically cancelled. If a requested booking is cancelled (i.e. not confirmed by the applicable Vendor), any amounts collected will be refunded to such User, depending on the selections the User  makes via the Site, and any pre-authorisation of such User’s credit card will be released, if applicable.

You as a User agree to pay through theTravelPorter the Total Fees for any booking requested in connection with your purchases. As a general rule, the payment processor  will collect the Total Fees due once you place the booking and theTravelPorter will effect a refund in case confirmation of your booking from the applicable Vendor is not completed; if necessary and under special circumstances, Total Fees may be collected at a later point or in the form of cash to the Vendor directly. Please note that theTravelPorter cannot control any fees that may be charged to a User by his or her bank related to theTravelPorter’s collection of the Total Fees, and theTravelPorter disclaims all liability in this regard. If a User requests a refund, charges (in the form of non-refundable fees) by the third party payment providers apply.  

theTravelPorter uses a third party payment provider called Stripe  (https://stripe.com/gb) to ensure Users’ personal and sensitive credit card information is securely stored. Credit card details are NOT stored at theTravelPorter. Our payment service processor, Stripe, is fully PCI compliant. All card information is truncated and passed through to Stripe for processing. theTravelPorter has no access to credit card information. As of December 2016, theTravelPorter accepts payments also through the third party payment provider Paypal (https://www.paypal.com/). 

In connection with your requested booking, you will be asked to provide customary billing information such as name, billing address and credit card information either to theTravelPorter  or its third-party payment processor. You agree to pay for any confirmed bookings made in accordance with these Terms by one of the methods described on the Site. You hereby authorise the collection of such amounts by charging the credit card provided as part of requesting the booking, either directly by theTravelPorter or indirectly, via a third-party online payment processor or by an alternative payment methods as described on the Site. You also authorise to charge your credit card in the event of damage caused at any gear or related object or situation related to an Activity  as contemplated under "Damage to gear or other objects related to an Activity" below and for Security Deposits, if applicable. If you are directed to a third-party payment processor(s), you may be subject to terms and conditions governing use of that third party's service and that third party's personal information collection practices. Please review such terms and conditions and privacy policy before using the services. Once your confirmed booking transaction is complete you will receive a confirmation email summarizing your confirmed booking.

Security Deposits

Vendors may choose to include security deposits in their Listings ("Security Deposits"). Each Listing will describe whether a Security Deposit is required for the applicable Activity, such as sports gear, bike, yacht, car or other as specified. If a Security Deposit is included in a Listing for a confirmed booking of an Activity, and a Vendor makes a claim against such Security Deposit, theTravelPorter, despite it’s limited liability, will try in its limited capacity and in good faith and cooperation , to use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the charge of the User’s  payment method in the amount of the Security Deposit, within a reasonable period of time after the User’s use of  the Vendor’s  Activity. theTravelPorter will also use its commercially reasonable efforts to address Vendors’ requests and claims related to Security Deposits, but theTravelPorter is not responsible for administering or accepting any claims by Vendors related to Security Deposits, and disclaims any and all liability in this regard.

General Booking and Financial Terms

Cancellations and Refunds

If, as a User, you cancel your requested booking before the requested booking is confirmed by a Vendor, theTravelPorter via our payment processor will cancel any preauthorisation or charge to your credit card and/or refund any nominal amounts charged to your credit card in connection with the requested booking within a commercially reasonable time, as determined by Stripe or Paypal, our payment processors. If, as a User, you wish to cancel a confirmed booking made via the Site and Services, the cancellation policy of the Vendor contained in the applicable Listing and booking confirmation will apply to such cancellation. Also, charges (in the form of non-refundable cancellation fees) by the third party payment providers (Stripe and/or Paypal) apply. Our ability to refund the Activity Fees and other amounts charged to you will depend upon the terms of the applicable cancellation policy. Details regarding refunds and cancellation policies are available at the Site and at Listings.

If a Vendor cancels a confirmed booking made via the Site and  Services, the User will receive an email or other communication from theTravelPorter and/or Vendor  containing alternative Listings. If the User requests a booking from one of the alternative Listings and the Vendor associated with such alternative Listing confirms the User’s requested booking, then the User agrees to pay theTravelPorter the Total Fees relating to the confirmed booking for the Activity  in the alternative Listing, in accordance with these Terms and where applicable will be refunded any price difference. theTravelPorter may at it’s sole discretion provide an alternative Listing from another Vendor. If a Vendor cancelled a confirmed booking and you, as a User, have not received an email or other communication from theTravelPorter, please contact theTravelPorter.

If, as a Vendor, you cancel a confirmed booking, you agree that theTravelPorter may apply penalties or consequences to you or your Listing, including (i) publishing an automated review on your Listing indicating that a reservation was cancelled, (ii) keeping the calendar for your Listing unavailable or blocked for the dates of the cancelled booking, or (iii) imposing a cancellation fee (to be withheld from your future payouts). You will be notified of the situations in which a cancellation fee applies before you decide to cancel.

In certain circumstances (such as serious illness, natural disaster or extreme weather conditions), theTravelPorter may decide, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary or desirable to cancel a confirmed booking made via the Site and Services.  theTravelporter may also determine, in its sole discretion, to effect and coordinate a refund to the User (for similar reasons, in good faith and where reasonably necessary) for part or all of the amounts charged to the User.

If, as a Vendor, a User cancels a confirmed booking or theTravelPorter decides that it is necessary to cancel a confirmed booking, and theTravelPorter issues a refund to the User in accordance with the Terms or other applicable cancellation policies, you agree that in the event you have already been paid theTravelPorter shall be entitled to recover the amount of any such User refund from you, including by subtracting such refund amount out from any future Activity Fees due to you.

Taxes

You as a Vendor understand and agree that you are solely responsible for determining (i) your applicable Tax reporting requirements, and (ii) the Taxes that should be included, and for including Taxes to be collected or obligations relating to applicable Taxes in Listings. You are also solely responsible for remitting to the relevant authority any Taxes included or received by you. theTravelPorter  cannot and does not offer Tax-related advice to any Members.

Damage to gear or other objects related to an Activity

As a User, you are responsible for using and leaving any gear, space or object related to an Activity in the condition it was in when you arrived. You acknowledge and agree that, as a User, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals whom accompany you to an Activity. In the event that a Vendor claims otherwise and provides evidence of damage, including but not limited to photographs, you agree to pay the cost of replacing such damage with equivalent or satisfactory compensation. Such claim will be handled by the Vendor. theTravelPorter also reserves the right to charge you or otherwise collect payment from you and pursue any avenues available to theTravelPorter in this regard, including using Security Deposits, in situations in which you have been determined, in theTravelPorter’s sole discretion, to have damaged any gear,space or other object related to an Activity in relation to any payments made by theTravelPorter to Vendors. If we are unable to charge the credit card or otherwise collect payment from you, you agree to remit payment for any damages to the applicable Vendor or to theTravelPorter (as applicable).

Both Users and Vendors agree to cooperate with and assist theTravelPorter in good faith, and to provide theTravelPorter with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by theTravelPorter, in connection with any complaints or claims made by Members relating to Activities or with respect to any investigation undertaken by theTravelPorter or a representative of theTravelPorter regarding use or abuse of the Site, or the Services.  However it is the sole responsibility of the User and the Vendor to reach an agreement and resolve any dispute or matter without any liability on the side of theTravelPorter.

Foreign Currency
