2. Definitions & Interpretation

2.1 Definitions

For purposes of this Agreement:

Unless the context requires otherwise: headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation; "including" means "including without limitation"; and the singular includes the plural and vice versa.

3. Appointment & Marketplace Role

3.1 Appointment as Booking Facilitator

Supplier appoints the Platform, on a non-exclusive basis, as its booking facilitator and authorised booking and payment intermediary in connection with the Supplier's Activities. The Platform is authorised to:

  • (a) market, promote, advertise and display the Supplier's Activities on the Platform and through its distribution channels;
  • (b) receive, process and facilitate Bookings from Customers for the Supplier's Activities, including communicating booking details and facilitating booking confirmations, amendments and cancellations;
  • (c) collect and process payments from Customers in connection with such Bookings on behalf of the Supplier; and
  • (d) perform such other administrative and operational functions as are reasonably necessary to facilitate Bookings and the provision of the Supplier's Activities through the Platform.

The Supplier acknowledges and agrees that the Platform's appointment under this clause is non-exclusive and does not restrict the Supplier from marketing, distributing or selling its Activities through other channels or directly to Customers.

3.2 Scope of Authority

The Platform operates as an online marketplace and technology platform that connects Customers with Suppliers and facilitates the discovery, booking, payment, and administration of Activities.

The authority granted to the Platform under this Agreement is limited strictly to the functions expressly stated herein. Except where expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the Platform does not have authority to, and shall not be deemed to have authority to, act on behalf of Supplier in relation to the operation, delivery, performance, modification, cancellation, safety, quality, legality, licensing, permitting, staffing, or provision of any Activity.

Supplier remains the principal provider and operator of each Activity and retains sole responsibility for the Activity, including its availability, pricing, description, inclusions and exclusions, operational arrangements, staffing, equipment, permits, licenses, insurance, safety requirements, legal and regulatory compliance, and proper delivery to Customers.

Except as expressly set out in this Agreement, including Section 38, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as appointing or establishing the Platform as a tour operator, travel agent, event organizer, reseller, principal supplier, provider, or operator of any Activity. The Platform does not purchase, take title to, or assume inventory or operational responsibility for Activities and does not independently provide or perform the Activities.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, employment relationship, franchise, fiduciary relationship, or general agency relationship between the Platform and Supplier. Neither party has authority to bind the other party or incur any obligation, liability, or commitment on the other party's behalf, except to the limited extent expressly authorized under this Agreement.

The Platform's facilitation of a Booking, collection or processing of Customer payment, issuance of booking-related communications, or provision of customer support shall not, by itself, constitute the Platform as the provider, operator, reseller, or principal of the relevant Activity, nor shall it transfer responsibility for the performance or delivery of the Activity from Supplier to the Platform.

Any authority granted to the Platform under this Agreement shall be interpreted narrowly and only to the extent expressly stated herein. No authority, representation, warranty, obligation, or responsibility shall be implied beyond the express terms of this Agreement.

3.3 No Ownership of Activities

All Activities are offered, operated, and delivered solely by Supplier.

38.4 Data & Ownership Retainment

As between the parties, and subject to Section 40 (Customer Data & Privacy) and Applicable Law, Customer profiles and booking histories are maintained by the Platform.

The Platform's role is to facilitate resolution; it does not assume liability for the underlying Operational Issue unless caused by the Platform's own error.

42.3 Escalation Procedure

  • (a) Customer complaints received directly by Supplier regarding Operational Issues must be acknowledged within 24 hours and substantively responded to within 48 hours.
  • (b) If unresolved within 5 business days, or if the Customer escalates via the Platform, the matter becomes a Platform-Managed Issue and Platform Support will take over communication with the Customer.
  • (c) Supplier must respond to any Platform Support request for information or action within 24 hours of notice.

42.4 Cooperation Obligations

Supplier must:

  • (a) provide accurate and complete booking, service, and communication records upon request;

  • (c) comply with resolutions determined by Platform Support, including refund or compensation decisions made in accordance with the Platform's dispute resolution policy.

42.5 Non-Compliance

Failure to cooperate as required under this Section 42 may result in:

  • (a) the Platform issuing a refund or credit to the Customer at Supplier's cost; (b) suspension of Supplier's listing pending resolution; and/or (c) the non-cooperation being treated as a material breach under Section 85.

The Supplier has sole authority to determine and set the retail (listing) price for each Activity listed on the Platform. This listing price must be tax-inclusive, covering any GST, VAT, or local sales tax applicable to the Supplier's sale of the Activity. The Supplier remains solely responsible for reporting and remitting any such taxes to the relevant tax authority. BookTourX assumes no responsibility for taxes arising from the Supplier's sale of the Activity.

46.2 Price Components

The total price displayed to Customers at checkout consists of the following components:

  • (i) Subtotal — the tax-inclusive Activity listing price set by the Supplier under Clause 46.1;
  • (ii) Platform Fee — any additional fee charged by BookTourX to the Customer for using the Platform to make the booking
  • (iii) Taxes — any taxes applicable to BookTourX's own revenue from the transaction, including its commission and Platform Fee;

All components will be itemized and disclosed to the Customer at checkout.

46.3 Currency

Prices may be displayed to Customers in multiple currencies for reference purposes, at the Platform's discretion. Notwithstanding the display currency, all bookings are processed and charged in United States Dollars (USD) via the Platform's third-party payment processor. Where a Customer's payment method or bank account is denominated in a currency other than USD, any currency conversion is performed by the Customer's card issuer, bank, or the payment processor, and is outside BookTourX's control. BookTourX makes no representation as to the exchange rate applied, any conversion fees charged, or the final amount debited to the Customer, and shall not be liable for any discrepancy arising from such conversion.

46.4 Pricing Errors

The Platform may correct obvious pricing errors and cancel affected Bookings, with a refund to the Customer.

47. Promotions & Discounts

47.1 Supplier-Funded Discounts

Supplier authorizes the Platform to collect payments from Customers on Supplier's behalf, process refunds and adjustments, and deduct commissions and fees.

Role of the Platform. For purposes of Customer-facing invoicing, payment processing, and compliance with applicable payment processor requirements, the Platform may be designated as "merchant of record" on transactions between Supplier and Customers. Notwithstanding this designation, the Platform and Supplier agree that, as between themselves, the Platform acts solely as Supplier's limited payment collection agent with respect to all funds collected from Customers, and Supplier remains the principal and seller of record for the underlying sale of goods/services.

48.2 Merchant of Record Disclosure

Customer charges may appear under the Platform's name on payment statements.

48.3 Payment Methods

The Platform may support multiple payment methods and payment service providers.

Applicable fees are deducted from each transaction before the net amount is credited to the Supplier's Wallet Balance.

The Platform may revise commission rates and fees from time to time. Any such change will take effect only after the Supplier has been notified in accordance with the notice requirements.

50. Wallet Balance & Payout Mechanics

50.1 Wallet Structure

The Platform maintains a virtual Wallet for each Supplier, reflecting funds credited in connection with completed Activities.

50.2 No Escrow or Trust

Wallet Balances are not held in escrow, do not constitute trust funds, and do not give rise to a fiduciary, custodial, or agency relationship between the Platform and the Supplier. Wallet Balances represent an unsecured contractual entitlement to payment from the Platform.

50.3 Earnings Credit Schedule

Earnings for each booking are credited to the Supplier's Wallet Balance seven (7) days after the Completion Date, provided the Activity has been completed and no Dispute has been raised by the Customer.

50.4 Withdrawal/Payout Timing

A Supplier may request withdrawal of any available Wallet Balance. All withdrawal requests are subject to Platform review, including identity verification, anti-fraud, and compliance checks, and the Platform may delay, limit, or decline a withdrawal request where such checks are incomplete or reveal a concern.

50.5 Payout Execution

Once a withdrawal request is approved, the Platform will remit payment to the Supplier's designated payout method within 7 business days.

51.1 Right to Withhold

The Platform may withhold all or part of a Wallet Balance where: (a) a Dispute involving the account is pending; (b) the Platform reasonably anticipates a chargeback, reversal, or refund; or (c) an investigation into suspected fraud, policy violation, or unlawful activity is ongoing. Any withheld amount will be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to cover the anticipated liability.

51.2 Offsets

The Platform may offset any refunds, chargebacks, penalties, fees, or losses arising from the user's account against the user's current or future Wallet Balance.

51.5 Right to Contest

A user may contest a withholding or offset by submitting a written objection with supporting information within 7 days of notice. The Platform will review the objection in good faith and respond within 7 business days, though this process does not suspend the Platform's right to maintain the withholding or offset pending resolution.

Supplier represents and warrants that: (a) all prices submitted to the Platform are accurate, current, and fully inclusive of applicable taxes as required under Section 53.1(c); (b) it holds all tax registrations required for the Activities it lists; and (c) it will notify the Platform promptly, and in any event within 21 days, of any change in its tax registration status, including deregistration, new registration obligations, or a change of the jurisdictions in which it is required to account for tax.

53.4 Platform Tax Collection and Withholding

Where required by Applicable Law, a governmental authority, or the Platform's reasonable operational requirements to comply with such law, the Platform may calculate, collect, withhold, report, or remit taxes relating to Bookings on Supplier's behalf, and may deduct such amounts from payments otherwise payable to Supplier. Where the Platform exercises this right other than pursuant to a legal requirement, it will provide Supplier with reasonable advance notice where practicable.

53.5 Shortfalls and Offset

If amounts collected, held, or remitted in respect of an Activity are, for any reason, insufficient to satisfy taxes properly due on that Activity — including due to inaccurate or non-inclusive pricing submitted by Supplier — the Platform may deduct the shortfall, together with any related penalties or interest imposed on the Platform as a result, from current or future amounts payable to Supplier, or invoice Supplier directly for such amounts.

53.6 Indemnity

Supplier shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Platform, its affiliates, and their respective officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all taxes, penalties, interest, fines, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred or imposed as a result of: (a) Supplier's failure to accurately determine, price, collect, report, or remit taxes as required under this Section 53; (b) any breach of Supplier's representations or warranties under Section 53.3; or (c) any tax assessment, audit, or claim by a governmental authority arising from Supplier's Activities or business, except to the extent caused by the Platform's gross negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of this Agreement.

53.7 Platform Tax Administration

The Platform may provide booking records, settlement statements, or transaction summaries for Supplier's reference and reporting convenience. Such information is provided for convenience only, is not a substitute for Supplier's own tax determinations, and does not constitute tax, accounting, or legal advice. Supplier remains solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of such records for its own tax filings.

Supplier agrees to: (a) provide any tax information, registrations, certificates, or documentation reasonably requested by the Platform to enable the Platform to comply with Applicable Law, within 14 days of request; (b) retain all records relevant to the tax treatment of its Activities for the longer of (i) 7 years, or (ii) the minimum period required under Applicable Law; and (c) reasonably cooperate with the Platform in connection with any tax audit, inquiry, or assessment relating to the Activities.

Without limiting any other right or remedy available to the Platform, if Supplier fails to provide documentation requested under Section 53.8(a), fails to maintain required tax registrations, or is otherwise found to be non-compliant with this Section 53, the Platform may suspend listings or withhold payouts.

53.10 Cross-Border and Withholding Taxes

Where payments to Supplier are subject to withholding tax, reverse-charge mechanisms, or similar cross-border tax obligations under Applicable Law, the Platform may withhold and remit the required amount, and Supplier shall provide any certificates (e.g., tax residency certificates) reasonably necessary to reduce or eliminate such withholding where available under applicable treaties or law.

Supplier must maintain accurate financial records relating to Activities and Bookings.
