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 Traveler (and the individuals the Traveler invites to the Experience, if applicable). You agree to comply with the Vayable Provider Guidelines available at = link_to \"www.community.vayable.com\" \n\nYou understand and agree that Vayable does not act as an insurer or as a contracting agent for you as a Provider. If a Traveler requests your expertise for a Experience and participates in your Experience, any agreement you enter into with such Traveler is between you and the Traveler and Vayable is not a party thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vayable serves as your limited authorized agent: \n\n  * for the purpose of accepting payments from Travelers on your behalf, and is responsible for transmitting such payments to you, subject to these Terms of Service, and\n  * for the purpose of booking online lodging and accommodations (“Vayable Bookings”)\nYou are responsible for all other bookings, including without limitation on-the-ground arrangements, tours or experiences you host, restaurants and similar bookings. \n\n\nYou represent and warrant that your Profile and your planning of and/or guidance on any Experience: \n\n  * will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties (such as any agreements with or rules of employers or local tourism agencies)\n  * will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws, tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any such Experience, including, but not limited to, tourism, tour guide licensing laws, and other laws governing events and tours of public spaces and other venues and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties.\nPlease note that Vayable assumes no responsibility for any Provider’s or Traveler’s compliance with any applicable laws, rules and regulations. Vayable reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Profile for any reason, including Profiles that Vayable, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms or otherwise harmful to the Services. \n\n\nVayable recommends that Providers and Travelers 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 Travelers (and the individuals the Traveler invites to the Experience, if applicable) while participating in your Experience. \n\n##### No Endorsement:\n\nVayable 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 Vayable 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 Vayable regarding (i) the remittance of payments received from a Traveler by Vayable on behalf of a Provider or (ii) the failure of Vayable to book a Vayable Booking for which the Traveler provided accurate booking information, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled “Limitation of Liability”. \n\n#### Conditions of Use\n\n##### Bookings and Financial Terms for Providers:\n\n1\\. GUIDES (Providers who lead activities). Except in the case of a Pre-Approved Event (as defined below), if you are a Guide 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 Vayable 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 Vayable for the requested booking will be refunded to the applicable Traveler’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 Traveler’s booking may be automatically confirmed (a “Pre-Approved Event”). When a booking is requested via the Services, we may share with you the first and last name of the Traveler who has requested the booking and a link to the Traveler’s Vayable Account profile page. \n\nThe fees displayed in each Listing are comprised of the Experience Fees (defined below) and the Traveler Fees (defined below). Where applicable, Taxes may be charged in addition to the Experience Fees and Traveler Fees. The Experience Fees, the Traveler Fees and applicable Taxes are collectively referred to in these Terms as the “Total Fees”. The amounts due and payable by a Traveler solely relating to a Guide’s Experience are the “Experience Fees”. Please note that it is the Guide and not Vayable which determines the Experience Fees. Vayable charges a fee to Travelers of three percent point nine (3.9%) of applicable Experience Fees which are the “Credit Card Fees”. The Traveler Fees are added to the Experience Fees to calculate the Total Fees (which will also include applicable Taxes) displayed in the applicable Listing. Vayable will collect the Total Fees at the time of booking confirmation (i.e. when the Guide confirms the booking within the specified timeframe) and will initiate payment of the Experience Fees (less Vayable’s Guide Fees (defined below)) to the Guide within 48 hours of when the Traveler arrives at the applicable Experience (except to the extent that a refund is due to the Traveler). However, please note that we will not be responsible for delays in remitting Experience Fees, which can vary based on the bank, payment provider, currency, location, etc. Be aware that in some instances it may take up to 30-60 days to receive funds as a result of bank and third-party payment provider process and regulations. \n\n2\\. INSIDERS (Providers who plan travel). If you are a Provider and your assistance is requested by a Traveler via the Services, or Vayable desires to match you with a Traveler request, you will receive an email and text message containing information about the Traveler and his or her desired experiences, preferences and budget. You may review the provided information and should submit a proposal to the Traveler. After reviewing the proposal, the Traveler must pay a nonrefundable $45 fee to connect to Insider (“Connection Fee”). This fee is transferred to the Insider immediately after the Traveler books, less Vayable’s 25% commission (“Connection Commission”). After connection, this $45 will go toward any further services the Traveler Requests. \n\nBased on the amount of work you foresee investing in curating an itinerary for the travel Experience (“Itinerary”), you should negotiate an Insider service fee (“Service Fee”) with the Traveler. While setting the Service Fee is at your discretion, Vayable has some suggested pricing available at http://community.vayable.com/school. Vayable transfers the Service Fee to the Insider after final delivery of the Itinerary, less 25 percent commission (“Vayable Service Commission”). \n\nYou may then continue to communicate with the Traveler until both parties have finalized an Itinerary. Once you and the Traveler have agreed on the Itinerary, you should send them the final proposed booking and price quoted for the Experience. \n\nProviders are also responsible for estimating the costs of all Experience expenses, for informing Vayable of the Vayable Bookings along with the applicable contact and booking information, and for booking all other Itinerary items. For Provider-booked Itinerary items, Providers will provide Vayable with a scanned copy of Provider’s government issued identification, and an itemized invoice of all expenses and any other information reasonably requested by Vayable. After the Traveler’s confirmed agreement to the Itinerary and Vayable’s receipt of payment from the Traveler, Vayable will remit to the Provider the total amount of Provider Commission and fees for the Provider-booked Itinerary items. \n\nIn the event that actual prices for bookings have increased since the quoted price, Providers must contact the Traveler informing them of the price increase and requesting their permission to add the additional cost to the total fees charged to the Traveler. \n\nEach Provider hereby appoints Vayable as the Provider’s limited agent solely for the purpose of collecting payments made by Travelers on behalf of the Provider. Each Provider agrees that payment made by a Traveler to Vayable shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to the Provider and the Provider will make the Experience available to Traveler in the agreed upon manner as if the Provider has received the payment. In accepting appointment as the limited authorized agent of the Provider, Vayable assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of the Provider. \n\nPlease note that Vayable does not currently charge fees for the creation of Profiles. However, you acknowledge and agree that Vayable reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to charge you for and collect fees from you for the creation of Profiles. Vayable will provide notice of any such fees via the Services prior to implementing such fees. \n\nPayment processing services for Insiders on Vayable are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement , which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the \"Stripe Services Agreement\"). By agreeing to these terms or continuing to operate as an Insider on Vayable, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of Vayable enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide Vayable accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize Vayable to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe. \n\n##### Bookings and Fees for Travelers:\n\nTravelers that wish to request the assistance of a Provider via the Services should provide the necessary information to Vayable regarding the Traveler’s desired experiences, preferences and budget. Vayable will endeavor to match the Traveler with a Provider with experience in the Traveler’s desired areas, and will connect the Traveler with a Provider in the event Vayable finds a match. Travelers may also directly contact Providers with a request. The Provider should propose an Experience itinerary after which the Traveler and the Provider should continue to communicate to finalize the itinerary. Once the itinerary is finalized, the Provider will either: \n\n  * confirm the Traveler’s reservation request for a guided experience or\n  * send the Traveler the final proposed booking and price quote for curating the Experience (“Itinerary”), which the Traveler may confirm or reject.\nPlease note Vayable will charge a non-refundable service fee (“Vayable Service Fee”) on top of the price quote. \n\n\nFor trips, Vayable is responsible for booking hotels and other lodging and accommodations that may be booked online (“Vayable Bookings”); the Provider is responsible for all other bookings (“Provider Bookings”). As part of the Booking, Travelers may be required to enter into an agreement (including releases) with the Provider, and the Traveler agrees to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with the Itinerary imposed by the Provider. Traveler acknowledges and agrees that Vayable is not a party to any agreement between the Traveler and Provider, and that, with the exception of its payment obligations and obligations related to Vayable Bookings hereunder, Vayable disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements. Traveler acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the fact that Vayable is not a party to any agreements between Traveler and the Provider, Vayable acts as the Provider’s payment agent for the limited purpose of accepting payments from Traveler on behalf of the Provider. Upon Traveler’s payment of amounts to Vayable which are due to the Provider, Traveler’s payment obligation to the Provider for such amounts is extinguished, and Vayable is responsible for remitting such amounts, less Vayable’s fees and commissions, to the Provider. In the event that Vayable does not remit any such amounts to a Provider, such Provider will have recourse only against Vayable. However, please note that we will not be responsible for delays in remitting payment, which can vary based on the bank, payment provider, currency, location, etc. Be aware that in some instances it may take up to 30-60 days to receive funds as a result of bank and third-party payment provider process and regulations and Vayable cannot be held liable for these delays. \n\nPlease 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. \n\n#### Cancellations and Refunds:\n\n1\\. GUIDES (Providers who lead activities).  These terms and conditions govern the Vayable Traveler Refund Policy (the “Traveler Refund Policy”) available to Travelers who book and pay for an Experience listed by a Guide through the Vayable platform (the “Site”) and suffer a Travel Issue and the obligations of the Guide associated with the Traveler Refund Policy. \n\n##### Travel Issue.\n\nA “Travel Issue” means any one of the following: \n\n  * The Guide of the Experience (i) cancels a reservation within 24 hours before the scheduled start of the reservation, (ii) fails to arrive for the Experience within 20 minutes of the scheduled start time, or (iii) fails to provide the Traveler with the reasonable ability to access the Experience (e.g., by allowing the Traveler access to the space in which the Experience will happen or begin if applicable).\n  * The description of the Experience in the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate with respect to (i) the duration of the Experience, (ii) the content of the Experience (including but not limited to the stated activities or sites, as applicable), or (iii) the physical location of the Experience. c) During the Traveler’s Experience, conditions do not meet safety or health hazards that would be reasonably expected, given the nature of the particular Experience, in Vayable’s judgment.\n\n\n\n##### The Traveler Refund Policy.\n\nIf you are a Traveler and suffer a Travel Issue, we agree, at our discretion, to either (i) reimburse you up to the amount paid by you through the Site, as determined by Vayable in our discretion, depending on the nature of the Travel 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 Vayable with respect to the Traveler Refund Policy, including without limitation the size of any refund, shall be final and binding on the Travelers and Guides. \n\n##### Conditions to Claim a Travel Issue.\n\nOnly a Traveler may submit a claim for a Travel Issue. If you are a Traveler, in order to submit a valid claim for a Travel Issue and receive the benefits with respect to your reservation, you are required to meet each of the following conditions: \n\n  * You must report the Travel Issue to Vayable in writing (at support@vayable.com) or via telephone and provide us with information (including evidence) about the Experience and the circumstances of the Travel Issue within 24 hours after the start of your reservation, and must respond to any requests by us for additional information or cooperation on the Travel Issue;\n  * You must not have directly or indirectly caused the Travel Issue (through your action, omission or negligence); and\n  * You must have used reasonable efforts to try to remedy the circumstances of the Travel Issue with the Guide prior to making a claim for a Travel Issue (and you must provide evidence of having done so).\n\n\n\n##### Minimum Quality Standards, Guide Responsibilities and Reimbursement to Traveler.\n\nIf you are a Guide, 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 Traveler with Travel Issues. Throughout the Experience, Guides should be available in order to try, in good faith, to resolve Traveler issues. \n\nIf you are a Guide, and if (i) Vayable determines that a Traveler has suffered a Travel Issue related to an Experience listed by you and (ii) Vayable either reimburses that Traveler any amount up to the amount paid by the Traveler through the Site for the Experience or provides an alternative Experience to the Traveler, you agree to reimburse Vayable up to the amount paid by Vayable within 30 days of Vayable’s request. All determinations of Vayable with respect to the Traveler Refund Policy, including without limitation the size of any refund to the Traveler, shall be final and binding on the Travelers and Guides. You also agree that in order for you to reimburse Vayable up to the amount paid by Vayable, Vayable may off-set or reduce any amounts owed by Vayable to you by this amount. If the Traveler 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 Traveler to the alternative Experience. \n\nThe rights of the Travelers under the Traveler Refund Policy supersede the cancellation policy that otherwise applies to a particular Experience. If you dispute the Travel Issue you may notify us in writing (support@vayable.com) or via telephone and provide us with information (including evidence) disputing the claims regarding the Travel Issue, provided you must have used reasonable and good faith efforts to try to remedy the Travel Issue with the Traveler prior to disputing the Travel Issue claim (and you must provide evidence of having done so). You agree that all determinations of Vayable with respect to the Travel Issue shall be final and binding on the Travelers and Guides regardless of your submission of a dispute against such Travel Issue. In the event of one or more \n\nTravel Issues, Vayable, 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 Travel Issues, canceling future bookings, suspending or removing the listing of the Experience or imposing penalties or fees for the administrative burden associated with the Travel Issues. \n\n##### General Provisions.\n\n(a) No Assignment/No Insurance. This Traveler 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 Traveler, and the Traveler has not paid any premium in respect of the Traveler Refund Policy. The benefits provided under this Traveler Refund Policy are not assignable or transferable by you. (b) Modification or Termination. Vayable reserves the right to modify or terminate this Traveler Refund Policy, at any time, in its sole discretion, and without prior notice. (c) If Vayable modifies this Traveler Refund Policy, we will post the modification on the Site or provide you with notice of the modification and Vayable will continue to process all claims for Travel Issues made prior to the effective date of the modification. (d) Entire Agreement and Definitions. This Traveler Refund Policy constitutes the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Vayable and you regarding the Traveler Refund Policy and supersedes and replaces any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Vayable and you regarding the Traveler Refund Policy. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Vayable Terms of Service. Controlling Law. This Traveler 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 VAYABLE’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS VAYABLE POLICY TERMS, EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF THE EXPERIENCE FEES COLLECTED BY VAYABLE FROM THE TRAVELER. 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 GUIDE OR TRAVELER, YOU ARE INDICATING THAT YOU HAVE READ, AND THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE POLICY TERMS. \n\n2\\. INSIDERS (Providers who plan travel).  Travelers are free to reject any Itinerary for any reason prior to payment. Once an Itinerary is confirmed by a Traveler, any fees paid are non-refundable except as set forth below: \n\n##### Traveler cancels.\n\nVayable will endeavor to refund Traveler the fees paid for any Itinerary items that have not yet been booked, minus the Service Fee. Fees for Itinerary items that have already been booked are non-refundable. \n\n##### Provider cancels.\n\nWhenever possible Vayable will connect Traveler to an alternate Provider who can fulfill request. If not, Vayable will refund the Total Fees for such booking to the applicable Traveler within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation. \n\n##### Cancellation due to outside factors.\n\nCertain 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 Traveler and Vayable (at support@vayable.com) as early as possible. Subject to the Traveler’s consent, the Provider and the Traveler may choose to reschedule the Experience for another date. If the Experience cannot be rescheduled, the Traveler should contact Vayable 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 Traveler, if you have contacted Vayable as provided above and Vayable is unable to find you a replacement Experience, Vayable may refund the Total Fees for such booking to the applicable Traveler within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation. \n\n#### Taxes:\n\nYou understand and agree that you are solely responsible for determining your applicable tax reporting requirements in consultation with your tax advisors. Vayable cannot and does not offer tax-related advice to any users of the Services.

You understand that the technical processing and transmission of the Service, including your content, may involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices. \n\n##### Third Party Websites:\n\nThe Service may provide, or third parties may provide, links or other access to other sites and resources on the Internet. Vayable has no control over such sites and resources and Vayable is not responsible for and does not endorse such sites and resources. You further acknowledge and agree that Vayable will not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any content, events, goods or services available on or through any such site or resource. Any dealings you have with third parties found while using the Service are between you and the third party, and you agree that Vayable is not liable for any loss or claim that you may have against any such third party. \n\n##### Social Networking Services:\n\nYou may enable or log in to the Service via various online third party services, such as social media and social networking services like Facebook or Twitter (“Social Networking Services”). By logging in or directly integrating these Social Networking Services into the Service, we make your online experiences richer and more personalized. To take advantage of this feature and capabilities, we may ask you to authenticate, register for or log into Social Networking Services on the websites of their respective providers. As part of such integration, the Social Networking Services will provide us with access to certain information that you have provided to such Social Networking Services, and we will use, store and disclose such information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. For more information about the implications of activating these Social Networking Services and Vayable’s use, storage and disclosure of information related to you and your use of such services within Vayable (including your friend lists and the like), please see our Privacy Policy. However, please remember that the manner in which Social Networking Services use, store and disclose your information is governed solely by the policies of such third parties, and Vayable shall have no liability or responsibility for the privacy practices or other actions of any third party site or service that may be enabled within the Service. \n\nIn addition, Vayable is not responsible for the accuracy, availability or reliability of any information, content, goods, data, opinions, advice or statements made available in connection with Social Networking Services. As such, Vayable is not liable for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such Social Networking Services. Vayable enables these features merely as a convenience and the integration or inclusion of such features does not imply an endorsement or recommendation. \n\n##### Indemnity and Release:\n\nYou agree to release, indemnify and hold Vayable and its affiliates and their officers, employees, directors and agent harmless from any from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, rights, claims, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, any User Content, your connection to the Service, your violation of these Terms of Service or your violation of any rights of another. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine. \n\n##### Disclaimer of Warranties:\n\nYOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. VAYABLE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. \n\nVAYABLE MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT (I) THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, (II) THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, (III) THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE, OR (IV) THE QUALITY OF ANY PRODUCTS, SERVICES, INFORMATION, OR OTHER MATERIAL PURCHASED OR OBTAINED BY YOU THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS. \n\n##### Limitation of Liability:\n\nYOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT VAYABLE 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 VAYABLE 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. IN NO EVENT WILL VAYABLE’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID VAYABLE IN THE LAST SIX (6) MONTHS, OR, IF GREATER, ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). \n\nSOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE OR WITH THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SERVICE. \n\n##### Arbitration:\n\nAt Vayable’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 San Francisco, 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. \n\n##### Termination:\n\nYou agree that Vayable, 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 Vayable 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. Vayable 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 Vayable 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 Vayable will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service. \n\n##### User Disputes:\n\nYou agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other user in connection with the Service and Vayable will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. Vayable reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and any other user of the Service. \n\n##### General:\n\nThese Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Vayable and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Vayable 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 Vayable agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within San Francisco County, California. The failure of Vayable 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 Vayable, but Vayable 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. \n\n##### Your Privacy:\n\nAt Vayable, we respect the privacy of our users.

(“Vayable”, “we” or “us”) provides this Privacy Policy to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information we receive from users of www.vayable.com (the “Site”) and any related applications (the “Application”) and otherwise, through the Service. This Privacy Policy applies only to information that you provide to us through the Service. This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our information practices. If we make any material changes we will notify you by email (sent to the e-mail address specified in your Vayable Account) or by means of a notice via the Service prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Service (at www.vayable.com). \n\nAs used in this policy, the terms “using” and “processing” information include using cookies on a computer, subjecting the information to statistical or other analysis and using or handling information in any way, including, but not limited to collecting, storing, evaluating, modifying, deleting, using, combining, disclosing and transferring information within our organization or among our affiliates within the United States or internationally. \n\nInternational Transfer \n\nYOUR INFORMATION MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO - AND MAINTAINED ON - COMPUTERS LOCATED OUTSIDE OF YOUR STATE, PROVINCE, COUNTRY OR OTHER GOVERNMENTAL JURISDICTION WHERE THE PRIVACY LAWS MAY NOT BE AS PROTECTIVE AS THOSE IN YOUR JURISDICTION. IF YOU ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES AND CHOOSE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO US, VAYABLE TRANSFERS PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THE UNITED STATES AND PROCESSES IT THERE. YOUR CONSENT TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY FOLLOWED BY YOUR SUBMISSION OF SUCH INFORMATION REPRESENTS YOUR AGREEMENT TO THAT TRANSFER. \n\nInformation Collection and Use \n\nOur primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our Site, Application, services, features and content (collectively, the “Service”), to administer your use of the Service and to enable users to enjoy and easily navigate the Service. \n\nPersonally Identifiable Information \n\nWhen you register with us through the Service and become a Member and when you choose to post a Listing or book an Experience, or when you wish to contact another Member, we will ask you for personally identifiable information. This refers to information about you that can be used to contact or identify you (“Identity Information”). Identity Information includes, but is not limited to, your name, phone number, email address, social security number (SSN), government-issued identification card, and home postal address, but does not include your credit card number or billing information. In order to process some of your transactions through the Service , we may also ask for your credit card number and other billing information (“Billing Information”) (Identity Information and Billing Information together, “Personal Information”). If the address associated with a Listing you post matches that of your credit card billing address, that address would be considered Identity Information. Some Personal Information may be required, like your name and email address, and other Personal Information may be optional, like your date of birth. We use your Personal Information to provide the Service and administer your inquiries. \n\nWe collect Personal Information in connection with your registration to join the Service. You can register to join via the Service by completing the required forms. \n\nYou may also be permitted to register to join by logging into online accounts you may have with third party service providers (“SNS”) (e.g. Facebook); each such account, a “Third Party Account”, via the Service as described below. As part of the functionality of the Service, you may link your Vayable Account with Third Party Accounts, by either: (i) providing your Third Party Account login information to Vayable through the Service; or (ii) allowing Vayable to access your Third Party Account, as is permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third Party Account. You represent that you are entitled to disclose your Third Party Account login information to Vayable and/or grant Vayable access to your Third Party Account (including, but not limited to, for use for the purposes described herein), without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable Third Party Account and without obligating Vayable to pay any fees or making Vayable subject to any usage limitations imposed by the applicable SNS. If you decide to register by logging into a Third Party Account via the Service, we will obtain the Personal Information you have provided to the applicable SNS (such as your “real” name, email address, profile picture, names of SNS friends, names of SNS groups to which you belong, other information you make publicly available via the applicable SNS and/or other information you authorize Vayable to access by authorizing the SNS to provide such information) from your Third Party Accounts and use that information to create your Vayable Account and Vayable Account profile page and you will become a Member. Depending on the Third Party Accounts you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third Party Accounts, you understand that by granting us access to the Third Party Accounts, we will access, make available and store (if applicable and as permitted by the SNS and authorized by you) the information in your Third Party Accounts so that it is available on and through your Vayable Account on the Service. If there is information about your “friends” or people with whom you are associated in your Third Party Account, the information we obtain about those “friends” or people with whom you are associated, may also depend on the privacy settings such people have with the applicable SNS. \n\nWe may also collect the other information that you provide as part of registration and the administration and personalization of your Vayable Account profile (e.g., without limitation, zip code (on its own) and individual preferences or demographic information) (“Non-Identifying Information”). \n\nWe use your Personal Information (in some cases, in conjunction with your Non-Identifying Information) mainly to provide the Service, complete your transactions, and administer your inquiries. \n\nCertain Non-Identifying Information would be considered a part of your Personal Information if it were combined with other identifiers (for example, combining your zip code with your street address) in a way that enables you to be identified. But the same pieces of information are considered Non-Identifying Information when they are taken alone or combined only with other non-identifying information (for example, your demographic information). We may combine your Personal Information with Non-Identifying Information and aggregate it with information collected from other Vayable Users (defined below) to attempt to provide you with a better experience, to improve the quality and value of the Service and to analyze and understand how the Service is used. We may also use the combined information without aggregating it to serve you specifically, for instance to deliver a product to you according to your preferences or restrictions. \n\nWe also use your Personal Information to contact you with Vayable newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications or contact us as detailed in the “Changing or Deleting Information” section, below. Please note that we may also use your Personal Information to contact you with information related to your use of the Service; you may not opt out of these notifications. \n\nLog Data \n\nWhen you visit the Service, whether as a Member or a non-registered user just browsing (any of these, a “Vayable User”), our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website (“Log Data”). This Log Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type or the webpage you were visiting before you came to the Service, pages of the Service that you visit, the time spent on those pages, information you search for on the Service, access times and dates, and other statistics. We use this information to monitor and analyze use of the Service and for the Service’s technical administration, to increase the Service’s functionality and user-friendliness, and to better tailor the Service to our visitors' and users’ needs. We also use this information to verify that visitors to and users of the Service meet the criteria required to process their requests. We do not treat Log Data as Personal Information or use it in association with other Personal Information, though we may aggregate, analyze and evaluate such information for the same purposes as stated above regarding other Non-Identifying Information. Cookies Like many websites, we use “cookies” to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. Our cookies help provide additional functionality to the Services and help us analyze Services usage more accurately. For instance, our Services may set a cookie on your browser that allows you to access the Services without needing to remember and then enter a password more than once during a visit to the Services. In all cases in which we use cookies, we will not collect Personal Data except with your permission. Third party advertisers on the Service may also place or read cookies on your browser. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. We may also use Flash cookies, which operate differently than browser cookies and cookie management tools available in a web browser may not remove flash cookies. To learn more about and manage flash cookies you can visit adobe.com and make changes at the privacy settings panel. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions of the Service or all functionality of the Service. \n\nWeb Beacons \n\nOur Site and Application may contain electronic images known as Web beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs), which would be used along with cookies to compile aggregated statistics to analyze how the Service is used and may be used in some of our emails to let us know which emails and links have been opened by recipients. This would allow us to gauge the effectiveness of our customer communications and marketing campaigns. \n\nSending Messages Via a Vayable Account \n\nAs part of the Service, Vayable Users may communicate with Vayable Members through the Service. Where Vayable Users have selected the option of adding one or more email addresses to an online form, the message they create in the corresponding template may be sent from Vayable to those email addresses on their behalf. If so, such email addresses will be used only for the purpose of sending the email communication to the addressee. \n\nPhishing \n\nIdentity theft and the practice currently known as “phishing” are of great concern to Vayable. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information, your Vayable Account ID, login password, or national identification numbers in a non-secure or unsolicited e-mail or telephone communication. For more information about phishing, visit the Federal Trade Commission's website at http://www.ftc.gov. \n\nInformation Sharing and Disclosure \n\nOverview \n\nThe Service can be used to facilitate the listing and booking of Experiences. Listings for such Experiences are made available via the Service by Guides. Listings posted by Guides, ratings and reviews of Members, and the Profile Information (as defined below) of Members, are visible to any Vayable User. \n\nVayable Members and Users \n\nWhen you create a Vayable Account, we will set up a Vayable Account profile page for you. Your Vayable Account profile page will include your first name and last initial. You can select the other items of Personal Information that you wish to be included in your Vayable Account profile page – including, but not limited to, a profile picture. We will display your Profile Information in your Vayable Account profile page publicly via the Service, and, with your prior permission, on third party sites. Any information you choose to provide as part of your Profile Information will be publicly visible to all Vayable Users and consequently should reflect how much you want other Vayable Users to know about you. We recommend that you guard your anonymity and sensitive information and we encourage members to think carefully about what information about themselves they disclose in their profile pages. You can review and revise your Profile Information at any time. \n\nListings \n\nIf you post a Listing, we may publish that Listing publicly via the Service and may enable third parties to publish your Listing on their websites through the use of an HTML “widget”. We may also display the geographical location of your Listing in the form of a map so that potential Travelers can see the general area and neighborhood of your Listing, but the actual street address will not be disclosed until you enter into a confirmed transaction with another Member. If you request to make a booking via the Service, Vayable may share the following information about you with the applicable Guide: your first and last name and a link to your Vayable Account profile page. All of this information will enable the Guide to decide whether to confirm or reject your booking. When a Guide confirms a booking we may share pieces of the Guide’s Identify Information, including, but not limited to, full name, phone number, the Experience’s starting address and the Guide’s email address, with the applicable Traveler selected by the Guide and we may share pieces of the Traveler’s Identify Information with the Guide, including, but not limited to, full name, phone number and email address, so that the Traveler and Guide may contact one another directly. In no event is a Traveler's Billing Information shared with a Guide. \n\nAggregate Information and Non-Identifying Information \n\nWe may share aggregated information that does not identify you personally and we may otherwise disclose Non-Identifying Information and Log Data with third parties for industry analysis, demographic profiling and other purposes. Any aggregated information shared in these contexts will not identify you personally. \n\nService Providers \n\nWe may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service, to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Site and Application-related services (e.g., without limitation, maintenance services, database management, web analytics, fraud detection services relating to the activity of Vayable Users and improvement of the Service's features) or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used. These third parties may have access to your Personal Information; if they do, this access is only so that they may perform these tasks on our behalf and they are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Please see below for privacy contact information. \n\nSecurity \n\nVayable takes reasonable steps to protect the Personal Information provided via the Services from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error free. In particular, email sent to or from the Services may not be secure. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any Personal Information to Vayable via the Internet. \n\nLinks to Other Websites \n\nOur Site and Application may contain links to other websites. If you choose to visit an advertiser by “clicking on” a banner ad or other type of advertisement, or click on another third party link, you will be directed to that third party's website. The fact that we link to a website or present a banner ad or other type of advertisement is not an endorsement, authorization or representation of our affiliation with that third party, nor is it an endorsement of their privacy or information security policies or practices. We do not exercise control over third party websites. These other websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you. Other websites follow different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the personal information you submit to them. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit. \n\nTestimonials \n\nWith your consent we may post your testimonial on the Service along with your name. If you want your testimonial removed please contact us. \n\nOur Policy Toward Children \n\nThe Service is not directed to individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with Personal Information without their consent, he or she should contact us. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with Personal Information, we will delete such information from our files. \n\nContacting Us \n\nIf you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at support@vayable.com. \n\nLast Updated: August 19, 2013 \n\nVayable, Inc. (“Vayable”, “we” or “us”) provides this Privacy Policy to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information we receive from users of www.vayable.com (the “Site”) and any related applications (the “Application”) and otherwise, through the Service. This Privacy Policy applies only to information that you provide to us through the Service. This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our information practices. If we make any material changes we will notify you by email (sent to the e-mail address specified in your Vayable Account) or by means of a notice via the Service prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Service (at www.vayable.com). \n\nAs used in this policy, the terms “using” and “processing” information include using cookies on a computer, subjecting the information to statistical or other analysis and using or handling information in any way, including, but not limited to collecting, storing, evaluating, modifying, deleting, using, combining, disclosing and transferring information within our organization or among our affiliates within the United States or internationally. \n\nInternational Transfer \n\nYOUR INFORMATION MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO - AND MAINTAINED ON - COMPUTERS LOCATED OUTSIDE OF YOUR STATE, PROVINCE, COUNTRY OR OTHER GOVERNMENTAL JURISDICTION WHERE THE PRIVACY LAWS MAY NOT BE AS PROTECTIVE AS THOSE IN YOUR JURISDICTION. IF YOU ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES AND CHOOSE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO US, VAYABLE TRANSFERS PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THE UNITED STATES AND PROCESSES IT THERE. YOUR CONSENT TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY FOLLOWED BY YOUR SUBMISSION OF SUCH INFORMATION REPRESENTS YOUR AGREEMENT TO THAT TRANSFER. \n\nInformation Collection and Use \n\nOur primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our Site, Application, services, features and content (collectively, the “Service”), to administer your use of the Service and to enable users to enjoy and easily navigate the Service. \n\nPersonally Identifiable Information \n\nWhen you register with us through the Service and become a Member and when you choose to post a Listing or book an Experience, or when you wish to contact another Member, we will ask you for personally identifiable information. This refers to information about you that can be used to contact or identify you (“Identity Information”). Identity Information includes, but is not limited to, your name, phone number, email address, social security number (SSN), government-issued identification card, and home postal address, but does not include your credit card number or billing information. In order to process some of your transactions through the Service , we may also ask for your credit card number and other billing information (“Billing Information”) (Identity Information and Billing Information together, “Personal Information”). If the address associated with a Listing you post matches that of your credit card billing address, that address would be considered Identity Information. Some Personal Information may be required, like your name and email address, and other Personal Information may be optional, like your date of birth. We use your Personal Information to provide the Service and administer your inquiries. \n\nWe collect Personal Information in connection with your registration to join the Service. You can register to join via the Service by completing the required forms. \n\nYou may also be permitted to register to join by logging into online accounts you may have with third party service providers (“SNS”) (e.g. Facebook); each such account, a “Third Party Account”, via the Service as described below. As part of the functionality of the Service, you may link your Vayable Account with Third Party Accounts, by either: (i) providing your Third Party Account login information to Vayable through the Service; or (ii) allowing Vayable to access your Third Party Account, as is permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third Party Account. You represent that you are entitled to disclose your Third Party Account login information to Vayable and/or grant Vayable access to your Third Party Account (including, but not limited to, for use for the purposes described herein), without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable Third Party Account and without obligating Vayable to pay any fees or making Vayable subject to any usage limitations imposed by the applicable SNS. If you decide to register by logging into a Third Party Account via the Service, we will obtain the Personal Information you have provided to the applicable SNS (such as your “real” name, email address, profile picture, names of SNS friends, names of SNS groups to which you belong, other information you make publicly available via the applicable SNS and/or other information you authorize Vayable to access by authorizing the SNS to provide such information) from your Third Party Accounts and use that information to create your Vayable Account and Vayable Account profile page and you will become a Member. Depending on the Third Party Accounts you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third Party Accounts, you understand that by granting us access to the Third Party Accounts, we will access, make available and store (if applicable and as permitted by the SNS and authorized by you) the information in your Third Party Accounts so that it is available on and through your Vayable Account on the Service. If there is information about your “friends” or people with whom you are associated in your Third Party Account, the information we obtain about those “friends” or people with whom you are associated, may also depend on the privacy settings such people have with the applicable SNS. \n\nWe may also collect the other information that you provide as part of registration and the administration and personalization of your Vayable Account profile (e.g., without limitation, zip code (on its own) and individual preferences or demographic information) (“Non-Identifying Information”). \n\nWe use your Personal Information (in some cases, in conjunction with your Non-Identifying Information) mainly to provide the Service, complete your transactions, and administer your inquiries. \n\nCertain Non-Identifying Information would be considered a part of your Personal Information if it were combined with other identifiers (for example, combining your zip code with your street address) in a way that enables you to be identified. But the same pieces of information are considered Non-Identifying Information when they are taken alone or combined only with other non-identifying information (for example, your demographic information). We may combine your Personal Information with Non-Identifying Information and aggregate it with information collected from other Vayable Users (defined below) to attempt to provide you with a better experience, to improve the quality and value of the Service and to analyze and understand how the Service is used. We may also use the combined information without aggregating it to serve you specifically, for instance to deliver a product to you according to your preferences or restrictions. \n\nWe also use your Personal Information to contact you with Vayable newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications or contact us as detailed in the “Changing or Deleting Information” section, below. Please note that we may also use your Personal Information to contact you with information related to your use of the Service; you may not opt out of these notifications. \n\nLog Data \n\nWhen you visit the Service, whether as a Member or a non-registered user just browsing (any of these, a “Vayable User”), our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website (“Log Data”). This Log Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type or the webpage you were visiting before you came to the Service, pages of the Service that you visit, the time spent on those pages, information you search for on the Service, access times and dates, and other statistics. We use this information to monitor and analyze use of the Service and for the Service’s technical administration, to increase the Service’s functionality and user-friendliness, and to better tailor the Service to our visitors' and users’ needs. We also use this information to verify that visitors to and users of the Service meet the criteria required to process their requests. We do not treat Log Data as Personal Information or use it in association with other Personal Information, though we may aggregate, analyze and evaluate such information for the same purposes as stated above regarding other Non-Identifying Information. Cookies Like many websites, we use “cookies” to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. Our cookies help provide additional functionality to the Services and help us analyze Services usage more accurately. For instance, our Services may set a cookie on your browser that allows you to access the Services without needing to remember and then enter a password more than once during a visit to the Services. In all cases in which we use cookies, we will not collect Personal Data except with your permission. Third party advertisers on the Service may also place or read cookies on your browser. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. We may also use Flash cookies, which operate differently than browser cookies and cookie management tools available in a web browser may not remove flash cookies. To learn more about and manage flash cookies you can visit adobe.com and make changes at the privacy settings panel. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions of the Service or all functionality of the Service. \n\nWeb Beacons \n\nOur Site and Application may contain electronic images known as Web beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs), which would be used along with cookies to compile aggregated statistics to analyze how the Service is used and may be used in some of our emails to let us know which emails and links have been opened by recipients. This would allow us to gauge the effectiveness of our customer communications and marketing campaigns. \n\nSending Messages Via a Vayable Account \n\nAs part of the Service, Vayable Users may communicate with Vayable Members through the Service. Where Vayable Users have selected the option of adding one or more email addresses to an online form, the message they create in the corresponding template may be sent from Vayable to those email addresses on their behalf. If so, such email addresses will be used only for the purpose of sending the email communication to the addressee. \n\nPhishing \n\nIdentity theft and the practice currently known as “phishing” are of great concern to Vayable. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information, your Vayable Account ID, login password, or national identification numbers in a non-secure or unsolicited e-mail or telephone communication. For more information about phishing, visit the Federal Trade Commission's website at http://www.ftc.gov. \n\nInformation Sharing and Disclosure \n\nOverview \n\nThe Service can be used to facilitate the listing and booking of Experiences. Listings for such Experiences are made available via the Service by Guides. Listings posted by Guides, ratings and reviews of Members, and the Profile Information (as defined below) of Members, are visible to any Vayable User. \n\nVayable Members and Users \n\nWhen you create a Vayable Account, we will set up a Vayable Account profile page for you. Your Vayable Account profile page will include your first name and last initial. You can select the other items of Personal Information that you wish to be included in your Vayable Account profile page – including, but not limited to, a profile picture. We will display your Profile Information in your Vayable Account profile page publicly via the Service, and, with your prior permission, on third party sites. Any information you choose to provide as part of your Profile Information will be publicly visible to all Vayable Users and consequently should reflect how much you want other Vayable Users to know about you. We recommend that you guard your anonymity and sensitive information and we encourage members to think carefully about what information about themselves they disclose in their profile pages. You can review and revise your Profile Information at any time. \n\nListings \n\nIf you post a Listing, we may publish that Listing publicly via the Service and may enable third parties to publish your Listing on their websites through the use of an HTML “widget”. We may also display the geographical location of your Listing in the form of a map so that potential Travelers can see the general area and neighborhood of your Listing, but the actual street address will not be disclosed until you enter into a confirmed transaction with another Member. If you request to make a booking via the Service, Vayable may share the following information about you with the applicable Guide: your first and last name and a link to your Vayable Account profile page. All of this information will enable the Guide to decide whether to confirm or reject your booking. When a Guide confirms a booking we may share pieces of the Guide’s Identify Information, including, but not limited to, full name, phone number, the Experience’s starting address and the Guide’s email address, with the applicable Traveler selected by the Guide and we may share pieces of the Traveler’s Identify Information with the Guide, including, but not limited to, full name, phone number and email address, so that the Traveler and Guide may contact one another directly. In no event is a Traveler's Billing Information shared with a Guide. \n\nAggregate Information and Non-Identifying Information \n\nWe may share aggregated information that does not identify you personally and we may otherwise disclose Non-Identifying Information and Log Data with third parties for industry analysis, demographic profiling and other purposes. Any aggregated information shared in these contexts will not identify you personally. \n\nService Providers \n\nWe may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service, to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Site and Application-related services (e.g., without limitation, maintenance services, database management, web analytics, fraud detection services relating to the activity of Vayable Users and improvement of the Service's features) or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used. These third parties may have access to your Personal Information; if they do, this access is only so that they may perform these tasks on our behalf and they are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. You can, at any time, opt out of receiving such communications. Third party vendors, like Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a Vayable User's prior visits to Vayable. You can disable these specific cookies that track prior visits for the sake of follow-up advertising by opting out at http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html. \n\nCompliance with Laws and Law Enforcement; Guarantee Program \n\nVayable cooperates with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (including but not limited to subpoenas), to protect the property and rights of Vayable or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, any illegal, unethical or legally actionable activity. \n\nWe will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials and to our insurance services providers as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to protect the property and rights of Vayable or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, any illegal, unethical or legally actionable activity. \n\nBusiness Transfers \n\nVayable may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of its assets, including your Personal Information, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets or in the event of bankruptcy. \n\nChanging or Deleting Your Information \n\nAll Members may review, update, correct or delete the Personal Information in their registration profile by contacting us at support@vayable.com or editing the relevant part of their profile.

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with Personal Information without their consent, he or she should contact us.

Some Providers (“Guides”) lead experiences on the ground, and other Providers (“Insiders”) help with travel planning. \n\n##### Refunds and cancellation for your trip planned by Vayable Insiders\n\nTravelers are free to reject any Itinerary for any reason prior to payment. Once an Itinerary is confirmed by a Traveler, any fees paid are non-refundable except as set forth below: \n\nTraveler cancels  Vayable will endeavor to refund Traveler the fees paid for any Itinerary items that have not yet been booked, minus the Service Fee. Fees for Itinerary items that have already been booked are non-refundable. \n\nProvider cancels  Whenever possible Vayable will connect Traveler to an alternate Provider who can fulfill request. If not, Vayable will refund the Total Fees for such booking to the applicable Traveler within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation. \n\nCancellation 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 Traveler and Vayable (at support@vayable.com) as early as possible. Subject to the Traveler’s consent, the Provider and the Traveler may choose to reschedule the Experience for another date. If the Experience cannot be rescheduled, the Traveler should contact Vayable 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 Traveler, if you have contacted Vayable as provided above and Vayable is unable to find you a replacement Experience, Vayable may refund the Total Fees for such booking to the applicable Traveler within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation. \n\n##### Refunds and cancellation for your experience led by Vayable Insiders\n\n1.Travel Issue. A “Travel Issue” means any one of the following: \n\na) The Guide of the Experience (i) cancels a reservation within 24 hours before the scheduled start of the reservation, (ii) fails to arrive for the Experience within 20 minutes of the scheduled start time, or (iii) fails to provide the Traveler with the reasonable ability to access the Experience (e.g., by allowing the Traveler access to the space in which the Experience will happen or begin if applicable). \n\nb) The description of the Experience in the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate with respect to (i) the duration of the Experience, (ii) the content of the Experience (including but not limited to the stated activities or sites, as applicable), or (iii) the physical location of the Experience. c) During the Traveler’s Experience, conditions do not meet safety or health hazards that would be reasonably expected, given the nature of the particular Experience, in Vayable’s judgment. \n\n2\\. The Traveler Refund Policy. If you are a Traveler and suffer a Travel Issue, we agree, at our discretion, to either (i) reimburse you up to the amount paid by you through the Site, as determined by Vayable in our discretion, depending on the nature of the Travel 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 Vayable with respect to the Traveler Refund Policy, including without limitation the size of any refund, shall be final and binding on the Travelers and Guides. \n\n3\\. Conditions to Claim a Travel Issue. Only a Traveler may submit a claim for a Travel Issue. If you are a Traveler, in order to submit a valid claim for a Travel Issue and receive the benefits with respect to your reservation, you are required to meet each of the following conditions: \n\na) You must report the Travel Issue to Vayable in writing (at support@vayable.com) or via telephone and provide us with information (including evidence) about the Experience and the circumstances of the Travel Issue within 24 hours after the start of your reservation, and must respond to any requests by us for additional information or cooperation on the Travel Issue; \n\nb) You must not have directly or indirectly caused the Travel Issue (through your action, omission or negligence); and \n\nc) You must have used reasonable efforts to try to remedy the circumstances of the Travel Issue with the Guide prior to making a claim for a Travel Issue (and you must provide evidence of having done so). \n\n4\\. Minimum Quality Standards, Guide Responsibilities and Reimbursement to Traveler. If you are a Guide, 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 Traveler with Travel Issues. Throughout the Experience, Guides should be available in order to try, in good faith, to resolve Traveler issues. \n\nIf you are a Guide, and if (i) Vayable determines that a Traveler has suffered a Travel Issue related to an Experience listed by you and (ii) Vayable either reimburses that Traveler any amount up to the amount paid by the Traveler through the Site for the Experience or provides an alternative Experience to the Traveler, you agree to reimburse Vayable up to the amount paid by Vayable within 30 days of Vayable’s request. All determinations of Vayable with respect to the Traveler Refund Policy, including without limitation the size of any refund to the Traveler, shall be final and binding on the Travelers and Guides. You also agree that in order for you to reimburse Vayable up to the amount paid by Vayable, Vayable may off-set or reduce any amounts owed by Vayable to you by this amount. If the Traveler 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 Traveler to the alternative Experience. \n\nThe rights of the Travelers under the Traveler Refund Policy supersede the cancellation policy that otherwise applies to a particular Experience. If you dispute the Travel Issue you may notify us in writing (support@vayable.com) or via telephone and provide us with information (including evidence) disputing the claims regarding the Travel Issue, provided you must have used reasonable and good faith efforts to try to remedy the Travel Issue with the Traveler prior to disputing the Travel Issue claim (and you must provide evidence of having done so). You agree that all determinations of Vayable with respect to the Travel Issue shall be final and binding on the Travelers and Guides regardless of your submission of a dispute against such Travel Issue. In the event of one or more \n\nTravel Issues, Vayable, 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 Travel Issues, canceling future bookings, suspending or removing the listing of the Experience or imposing penalties or fees for the administrative burden associated with the Travel Issues. \n\n5\\. General Provisions.\n\na) No Assignment/No Insurance. This Traveler 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 Traveler, and the Traveler has not paid any premium in respect of the Traveler Refund Policy. The benefits provided under this Traveler Refund Policy are not assignable or transferable by you. \n\nb) Modification or Termination. Vayable reserves the right to modify or terminate this Traveler Refund Policy, at any time, in its sole discretion, and without prior notice. \n\nc) If Vayable modifies this Traveler Refund Policy, we will post the modification on the Site or provide you with notice of the modification and Vayable will continue to process all claims for Travel Issues made prior to the effective date of the modification. \n\nd) Entire Agreement and Definitions. This Traveler Refund Policy constitutes the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Vayable and you regarding the Traveler Refund Policy and supersedes and replaces any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Vayable and you regarding the Traveler Refund Policy. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Vayable Terms of Service. Controlling Law. This Traveler 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. \n\ne) Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL VAYABLE’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS VAYABLE POLICY TERMS, EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF THE EXPERIENCE FEES COLLECTED BY VAYABLE FROM THE TRAVELER. 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 GUIDE OR TRAVELER, YOU ARE INDICATING THAT YOU HAVE READ, AND THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE POLICY TERMS. 6\\. Contacting Vayable. If you have any questions about the Traveler Refund Policy, please contact Vayable at support@vayable.com. \n\nLast Updated: August 06, 2014 \n\n##### Referring a Friend\n\nAny user registered with Vayable can refer a friend. You do not need to have ever booked an experience or be an Insider. The person using your referral code is your referral. Referral codes may only be used for non-commercial purposes, meaning you may only share your invite link with personal connections via email, Twitter, Facebook, and your own blogs. You agree you will not publish or distribute the link, or cause the link to be published or distributed, on or via methods, platforms and media where you do not have reasonable basis for believing that all or most of the readers or recipients are your personal connections (including coupon websites, forums, and public wikis). \n\n##### Getting and Applying Credits\n\nVayable will apply credit to your Vayable account within 48 hours after your referral's qualifying reservation takes place. After your referral successfully completes a qualifying reservation, you will be credited with the determined U.S. dollar amount (or its equivalent in your local currency if we support it). We will automatically apply the total amount of the credits you earn to your next qualifying reservation in the form of a coupon, which you will see on the booking check-out page. You may not combine credits with any additional coupon, gift card or promotion. Credits expire after three years from the date that they are issued. \n\n##### Qualifying Reservation\n\nA qualifying reservation means a booking with a total value of $75 or more. All reservations must be booked on the Vayable website or mobile application, and successfully completed by the referral for you to qualify to receive credits. A reservation that is subsequently canceled, refunded or altered such that the total value becomes less than $75 disqualifies it for credits. In order for a reservation to qualify, you also cannot be the Traveler or Insider on the reservation, and the traveler and insiders cannot both be referred by you. \n\n##### Referrals with Multiple Links/Codes\n\nYour will only receive credit after a qualifying reservation when a referral uses your referral link or code to sign up for an account on Vayable. If your referral signs up using a different referral code or link to sign up, you will not receive the travel credit. \n\n##### Limited Time Only\n\nThis incentive program is for a limited time only. Vayable at any time may end or suspend this incentive program (entirely or just a part of it). We may also change the requirements and incentives at any time. \n\n##### Receiving a Referral Invite to Join Vayable\n\nYou will receive a credit for the stated promotion amount. Sign up by clicking on a valid referral link or using a valid referral code from an existing Vayable user and you’ll receive a credit for the promotional amount to use toward your next qualifying reservation on Vayable. \n\nAlternatively, you can enter a referral code in the Apply Credit link when making your first reservation.
