The Cleverbreak Platform is an online marketplace that enables registered users (“Members”) and certain third parties who offer services (Members and third parties who offer services are “Local guides” and the services they offer are “Tour Services”) to publish such Tour Services on the Cleverbreak Platform (“Experiences”) and to communicate and transact directly with Members that are seeking to book such Tour Services (Members using Tour Services are “Traveler”).
To list an Experience, Tour or other Event Service, you must create a Tour and submit the Experience, Tour or other Event Service to Cleverbreak. Experience, Tour or other Event Service, Services must at all times meet the quality standards for Experiences. Cleverbreak reserves the right to decide, in its sole discretion, whether a submitted Experience, Tour or other Event Service, will be published on the Cleverbreak Platform. Once published, Experience, Tour or other Event Service, may be removed pursuant to the removal provisions below or pursuant to any applicable removal provision in the Cleverbreak Terms of Service.
When Tour an Experience, Tour or other Event Service you must, where applicable, fully educate and inform Travelers about (i) any risks inherent to the Experience, Tour or other Event Service, (ii) any requirements for participation, such as the minimum age, related skills, level of fitness or other requirements, and (iii) anything else they may need to know to safely participate in the Experience, Tour or other Event Service (including dress codes, equipment, special certifications or licenses, etc.).
When you publish an Experience, Tour or other Event Service on the Cleverbreak platform, you have the ability to add dates and times when you offer your Experience through the Cleverbreak Platform.

Cleverbreak merely provides the Cleverbreak Services and is not itself an operator or provider of tours, activities, travel services, Experience, Tour or other Event Service. Cleverbreak does not own, sell, resell, furnish, provide, manage and/or control any such Experience, Tour or other Event Service.

At your sole discretion you may want to inform the Local Guide of any medical or physical conditions, or other circumstances that may impact your and any additional guest’s ability to participate in any Experience, Tour or other Event Service. In addition, certain laws, like the minimum legal drinking age in the location of the Experience, Tour or other Event Service, may also apply. You are responsible for identifying, understanding, and complying with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to your participation in an Experience, Tour or other Event Service.

We strictly prohibit the fraudulent financial transactions.

Guides

As a guide, it is your responsibility to provide professional services to guests. The guests are allowed to post a review of your services. In the event you suspect that a user has posted a false feedback or used inappropriate language, please inform us and we will investigate the situation. We are not liable to remove negative feedbacks in case their experience is genuine. However we do not allow the use of inappropriate language.

Disputes

In case a dispute arises between a guest and a local guide, please contact us immediately so that we can analyze the situation based on the conversations and other evidences provided by either party. Both parties agree that the decision taken by our team will be considered final. If the guide fails to show up at the meeting point, we reserve the rights to release full amount back to the guest. Similarly, if the guest does not show up, we reserve the rights to keep the full amount.

Both the parties must arrive on time, and in case the guest is late, the guide has no obligation to stay over the agreed time and he will own the funds. If the guide is late, the guest reserves the rights to ask for additional time or we will pay them the amount based on that time out of the guides balance held from the escrow account.

Cancellations and Refunds

In case a guest decides to cancel the booking after they meet, no refunds will be offered. The customer (guest) reserves the rights to cancel the booking before seven days of the booking date, and a full refund will be offered. However if the cancellation is requested 7 days within the booking date, no refunds will be offered.
In the event a guide requests to cancel the booking, a proper reason must be provided, and a full refund will be offered to the guest. If the users suspect technical issues during the booking, we may offer a partial refund at our own discretion.
For Experience, Tour or other Event Service, if inclement weather creates an unsafe or uncomfortable scenario for Traveler, Guides may modify or cancel a Tour Service. If there is a substantial change in the itinerary or the Tour Service needs to be cancelled, Cleverbreak will work with the Guide and/or Traveler to provide Traveler an alternative date for the Tour Service, an appropriate refund or a rebooking.
If a Traveler suffers a Travel Issue pursuant to the Refund Policy, Cleverbreak may determine, in its sole discretion, to refund the Traveler part or all of the Total Fees in accordance with the Refund Policy.
If, as a Guide, your Traveler cancels a confirmed booking or Cleverbreak decides that it is necessary to cancel a confirmed booking, and Cleverbreak issues a refund to the Traveler in accordance with the Refund Policy, or other applicable cancellation policy, you agree that in the event you have already been paid, Cleverbreak Payments will be entitled to recover the amount of any such refund from you, including by subtracting such refund amount out from any future Payouts due to you.

Ratings and Reviews

Within a certain timeframe after completing a booking, Travelers and Guides can leave a public review (“Review”) and submit a star rating (“Rating”) about each other. Ratings or Reviews reflect the opinions of individual Members and do not reflect the opinion of Cleverbreak. Ratings and Reviews are not verified by Cleverbreak for accuracy and may be incorrect or misleading.
Ratings and Reviews by Travelers and Guides must be accurate and may not contain any offensive or defamatory language.
Members are prohibited from manipulating the Ratings and Reviews system in any manner, such as instructing a third party to write a positive or negative Review about another Member.
