1. OUR SERVICES

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.

Services Overview

The Services currently support two types of trips:

  • Public trips: Listed and discoverable on the platform with payments processed through us
  • Private trips: Invite-only using our Services solely as a coordination tool

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").

Collaboration Tools

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).
