However, Guydeez Limited cannot be held liable under any circumstances, in particular because of the occurrence of one of these risks.

Guydeez tools also assure the End Customer that the Compensation will only be collected by the Guide once the service has been performed.

 

A booking only becomes effective once the payment has been made on the site by the End User and once the itinerary has been programmed with the guide via Guydeez support. Once effective, all these T&Cs apply to this reservation.

 

It is clearly notified that Guydeez Limited will invoice its commission after the service provided by the GUIDE, and that the invoice for the service must be issued by the GUIDE for the member who booked the service.

 - To inform End Users immediately of any changes in the Booked Experience

 

If one or more End Users have booked and the Guide decides to change any condition of the booked experience as initially informed, the Guide undertakes to contact as soon as possible its End Users who have made a Booking on its Experience and to obtain the agreement of the End Users on this change. If an End User refuses this change, then he/she is entitled to cancel his/her Booking completely without being charged any cancellation fees, and without any compensation being paid to the Guide.

Article 9 - Payment and fees in case of normal operation


The Guydeez platform charges a booking fee (hereinafter referred to as "the Booking Fee") from the website or any other medium. These costs are invoiced to the End User at the time of booking to cover logistics costs and are invoiced by the banks. These costs are made up of an amount plus the VAT in force (21% for Spain). The remuneration of local guides is not indexed on the amount of the reservation but on the total turnover of the company.

 

The End User has 2 days (2 calendar days or 48 hours) to expressly inform Guydeez of any anomaly in the experience provided by the guide, in order to allow 1 calendar day for the Guydeez team to process this request.

 

At the end of this period, Guydeez considers that the experiment went well and that the service was carried out. No further recourse will be possible. From this date, Guydeez will take care of making payment orders to the Guide for the service invoiced within 30 calendar days. Guydeez cannot be held responsible for any additional delays caused by banking institutions.

 

The Guide provides Guydeez Limited with the banking information contained on its Bank Identity Statement or Postal Identity Statement, allowing transfer to its account or Paypal. This information is exclusively to be filled in by the member on the "Home / My Profile" page. Guydeez Limited may in some cases pay compensation in another way. Guydeez Limited is in no way responsible or liable to the End User for any payment incident if, for any reason whatsoever, the amount paid by the End User should be returned, in particular in the event of opposition on the card or fraudulent use. The Guide undertakes to return to Guydeez Limited on first request any sum received that has been called into question as a result of such a payment incident and any justified claim that has required further investigation.

 

Article 10 - Payment and fees in case of cancellation


In the event of a cancellation attributable to the guide, the end user will be refunded the full amount paid.

 

 In the event of cancellation attributable to the end user:

 

·      If the End User cancels more than one week (7 calendar days) before the scheduled time of the experience, a cancellation fee equal to the amount of the reservation fee paid at the time of the booking registration is due by Guydeez Limited. As a result, the End User will be fully reimbursed for the amount paid.

·      If the end user cancels between 1 week and 48 hours before the scheduled time of the experience, a cancellation fee of 50% of the amount of the booking fee paid at the time of the booking registration is due to Guydeez and the Guide does not receive any compensation. As a result, the End User will be refunded the balance, being the amount paid less the amount of the cancellation fee, of the Guide's compensation (including Guydeez Limited's commission).

·      If the End User cancels less than 48 hours before the scheduled time of the booked experience, or if the End User cancels after the scheduled time of departure or does not arrive at the meeting point within 30 minutes of the agreed time: the Guide receives compensation and the booking fee is due to Guydeez. As a result, the End User will not receive any refund.

·   Exceptional case COVID-19: All cancellations that occur from March 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020 related to the Coronavirus will result in a refund in the form of an equivalent credit note corresponding to the value of the amount of the purchase made and valid on all the tours we offer and without time limit.
 

If a guide has been assigned to a mission to do several days with the same travelers and they make a claim at the end of the first day of visit, then the guide will not be paid for the other days cancelled at the request of the travelers. The guide remains paid for the day's work. Travelers cannot be reimbursed for the first day of guiding by the guide.

Article 11: Procedure in the event of a complaint or anomaly


In the event of a complaint from an End User during an experience, or any other anomaly observed in the nature or performance of an experience, proposed by a Guide, Guydeez reserves the right to sequester the Compensation of the Guide for the time necessary for the verifications.

 

Article 12 - Communication between members


The Guydeez platform provides its members with tools for exchange and communication. These tools, like internal messaging, can be subject to storage or formatting constraints. Guydeez cannot be held responsible for this.

 

In addition, Guydeez reserves the right to filter these exchanges in order to ensure compliance with the T&C. In particular, Guydeez Limited reserves the right to delete members' contact details exchanged outside the normal booking process, or any abusive or illegal wording.

 

Article 13 - Financial and tax provisions


Payment orders given by Members pursuant to this Agreement are irrevocable and shall be executed by Guydeez Limited's banking institution. It is expressly agreed by the members, End Users or Guides, that the sums received do not carry the right to interest. The End User and the Guide agree to respond to any request from Guydeez Limited and/or its banking institution and more generally from any competent administrative or judicial authority in connection with the prevention or fight against money laundering and, in particular, they agree to provide any relevant proof of address or identity. In the absence of an immediate response to these requests, the End User and the Guide agree in advance that Guydeez Limited may unilaterally take any action it deems appropriate, including freezing the amounts paid and/or suspending the services used by the End User or offered by the Guide. No payment may be made in favour of the Guide to an account that has not been opened in its name or has not been entered on the Guydeez platform supports.

 

Guides are also clearly informed that they are solely responsible for their compliance with local tax regulations and rules, in particular in terms of taxes applicable to their activity (e. g. VAT).  Each Guide undertakes to report commissions received through Guydeez Limited, depending on the nature of its business, so that it is in compliance with the tax provisions of its Country.

 

Article 14 – Insurance


The Guide undertakes to be insured in accordance with the legislation in force and to verify before its experience the full validity of its insurance and the obligation to have insurance. He also undertakes to be in possession of all the documents required for the successful completion of his experience. (Driver's license, authorization from local authorities if the site is protected, license, certificate of fitness, boat license, etc.)

 

 The Guide must specifically verify that its insurance allows it to transport / guide End Users and that its insurance covers all transported / guided persons as well as any consequences resulting from an incident / accident that may occur during the experiment. In the case of sporting activities, and when required, the Guide certifies that it has taken out the required insurance and that it is in possession of any state diplomas.

 

 

The End User and the Guide are informed that insurance may refuse to cover damage that may occur during an experiment in which the Guide would have made a profit or been in a situation similar to a professional activity. He would bear alone the financial consequences resulting from the absence of coverage of a possible accident by his/her insurance, without Guydeez Limited's liability being engaged.

 

This clause is an exemption from Guydeez Limited's liability to the GUIDE and the END-USER. The end user undertakes to communicate to the Guide any identified health problems. Guydeez Limited reserves the right to immediately suspend the Member's account and the sums shown therein and to report to the competent authorities any activity contrary to the Guydeez T&C.

 

Article 15 – Liabilities


Guydeez is responsible for the content entered on the Guydeez.com website by Members. This is particularly the case for the "Agenda" containing information relating to public or private events, information provided by Members. However, as soon as Guydeez Limited becomes aware that content on the Guydeez website infringes the rights of third parties, Guydeez Limited will do its utmost to remove the disputed content from the Site without delay.

 

As an End User or a Guide, all members act under their own responsibility. Guydeez is an intermediation service and does not control in any way the quality, veracity and risks involved in the proposed experiments. As such, the actual conduct of the experience cannot give rise to any liability attributable to Guydeez Limited, on any grounds whatsoever, since the service offered is an intermediation service. In particular, Guydeez cannot be held liable for any loss that may have occurred for reasons such as: the communication by the Guide of erroneous information concerning the experience and its terms and conditions; the cancellation of the experience by the Guide or the End User; fraudulent behavior or fault by a guide or End User, before, during or after the experience; failure to observe customary safety measures (particularly when using equipment or vehicles); failure to comply with local laws;

 

In all these cases, Guydeez Limited does not guarantee payment of the Guide. The latter strives to ensure the availability of the site and service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, access to the site or service may be interrupted as a result of maintenance operations, hardware or software upgrades, emergency site repairs, or as a result of circumstances beyond Guydeez Limited's control (such as failure of telecommunications links and equipment). Guydeez undertakes to take all reasonable measures to limit such disruptions, insofar as they are attributable to it. Members acknowledge and agree that Guydeez Limited assumes no responsibility to them for any unavailability, suspension or interruption of the site or service and shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damages of any kind resulting therefrom. In all cases, and without prejudice to the above and in the other clauses concerning the absence of liability of Guydeez Limited, any cause of liability that may be asserted against Guydeez Limited may only give rise to the payment of damages, the amount of which shall be limited to the amounts received in respect of bank charges and commissions.

 

The Guides are solely responsible for the price set for their experience advertisement.

 

 The guides undertake to provide all safety equipment necessary to carry out the experience, to ensure that it is properly understood and used by End Users, and to maintain its proper functioning.

 

 

Guydeez Limited is nevertheless committed to doing its utmost to ensure the quality of all experiences provided on its medium.
