Doing business as Via - Connecting independent trip hosts with travelers
These Legal Terms constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("you"), and Via Travel LLC, concerning your access to and use of the Services.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE LEGAL TERMS, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SERVICES AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.
We are a technology platform that connects independent trip hosts with travelers for the purpose of discovering, organizing, and participating in group travel experiences and, in the future, other group-based events.
Important: We do not provide, own, manage, control, or operate any travel services, accommodations, transportation, or activities, and do not act as an agent, partner, joint venturer, employer, or representative of any host or traveler.
The information provided when using the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country.
The Services currently support two types of trips:
From time to time, we may introduce optional features or tools within the Services, including audience-building, messaging, collaboration, or host networking features (collectively, "Feature Terms").
The Services may enable users to collaborate on listings or experiences. Each listing designates a Primary Organizer responsible for the listing and may include one or more contributors ("Collaborators"). All payouts for a listing are disbursed solely to the Primary Organizer's account.
Important: The Services are not tailored to comply with industry-specific regulations (HIPAA, FISMA, etc.), so if your interactions would be subjected to such laws, you may not use the Services. You may not use the Services in a way that would violate the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).

You are responsible for what you post or upload: You confirm that you have read and agree with our "PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES" and will not post any Submission or Contribution that is illegal, harassing, hateful, harmful, defamatory, obscene, bullying, abusive, discriminatory, threatening, sexually explicit, false, inaccurate, deceitful, or misleading.

We reserve the right to remove, reclaim, or change a username you select if we determine, in our sole discretion, that such username is inappropriate, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.
We do not sell physical goods. We provide access to a technology platform that enables users to discover, create, manage, and participate in group travel experiences and related services.
Any trip listings, itineraries, add-on activities, pricing, availability, and descriptions displayed on the Services are provided by independent hosts and third-party providers.
