Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using the services offered by Tripsha, Inc. ("Tripsha", "us", “we”). These Terms of Service set forth the terms and conditions of our relationship and for your use of the tripsha.com website (the "Site") and the applications, services, features, or content offered by Tripsha and related communications (collectively, the "Services") to you.

By accessing Site and/or the Services, regardless of whether you (“you”, “your”, user”) become a registered user, a person who is organizing or supervising a trip on the Site and/or Services (a “Host”) and/or a person who is joining a trip (a “Traveler”), you agree to be bound by the terms of this and conditions contained herein (“Terms of Service” or “Agreement”).

This Agreement, together with any Master Services Agreement entered into between you and Tripsha, supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, warranties and understandings with respect to the Site and the Services, the content, products or services provided by or through the Site and the Services, and the subject matter of this Agreement.

Important notice: these terms of use contain an arbitration provision, which will require you to submit any claims you may have against Tripsha to binding and final arbitration. In addition, under the arbitration provision, (a) you will only be permitted to pursue claims against Tripsha on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or classname member in any classname or representative action or proceeding, and (b) you will only be permitted to seek relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) on an individual basis. By entering this agreement, you expressly acknowledge that you have read and understand all of the terms of this agreement, including but not limited to the sections regarding arbitration

The Site and Services

1. You understand that Tripsha provides and facilitates a platform for Users to join on their planned traveling plans and related activities (collectively, the “Trip”).
2. You understand and agree that, as a result, even though Tripsha and its agents may help facilitate the transactions between Verified Hosts and Travelers, Tripsha is not involved and does not participate in such transactions between Traveler and a Verified Host. As used in this Agreement, a “Transaction” shall mean any type of engagement, agreement, booking, Trip, or any other type of arrangement between a Verified Host and a Traveler.
3. You understand that Verified Hosts are neither employees nor agents nor representatives of Tripsha.
4. You are solely responsible for every Transaction occurring under your account.
5. You understand that Tripsha is not responsible for and does not screen users, including but not limited to any Travelers. You further understand that Tripsha does not review, endorse, recommend, verify, evaluate, warrant or guarantee the conditions or features of any Trip, or the claims or background of any Traveler, Verified Host, or other user.
6. You understand that while Tripsha may conduct identity verifications on Verified Hosts, information obtained by Tripsha about any Verified Host should not be taken as complete, accurate, up-to-date or conclusive of the Verified Host’s suitability as a host, nor the quality or safety of their Trip. Users are responsible for interviewing, verifying information provided by other users, and ultimately selecting an appropriate Verified Host.
7. TRIPSHA STRONGLY ADVISES YOU TO USE CAUTION BEFORE SHARING PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION WITH OTHER USERS OF THE SITE AND SERVICES. TRIPSHA DOES NOT CONDUCT BACKGROUND CHECKS OR VETTING OF USERS, WHETHER THEY ARE HOSTS, TRAVELERS OR OTHER TYPES OF USERS.
8. You understand that it is your duty to confirm or verify any information provided by any other user and that you bear the sole risk of relying on any such information. Under no circumstances will Tripsha be liable for any loss or damage caused by your reliance on any information, representation, or statement available on or through the Site and/or Services. You agree to take all necessary precautions in all interactions with other users.
9. You are solely responsible for all Submissions from your account. “Submissions” means anything that a user transmits to the Site or Services or to another in the course of using the Site or Services. You shall remain at all times solely responsible for the full functionality, accuracy, reliability, integrity, quality or validity of any statement or any other detail contained in the Submissions.
10. You understand that if you directly provide any Verified Host with any payment, credit card, or other payment information, it is at your own risk. Tripsha is not responsible for any payment exchanged outside of the Site or Services.

Terms for Hosts

1. If you are Host, the relationship between Tripsha and you is determined by the Master Services Agreement.
2. If you are charging Users to attend your trips, then you and not Tripsha, are solely responsible for determining the price of the Trip, along with any additional costs to be included or factored into such price (the “Trip Price”). As a Super Host, you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for any and all of your Trip listings on the Site and Services.

Terms for Travelers

1. Travelers can join a Trip through the Site and/or Services. It is important that Travelers check the information entered and correct any errors before joining a Trip.

4. If you request to join a Trip and you are accepted by the Verified Host, you will be responsible and liable to pay the Trip Price and any other fees due for such booking, subject, in each case, to this Agreement, the Traveler Agreement, and any other terms and conditions specific to the Trip as agreed between you and the Verified Host.
5. If you have a problem during your Trip, please inform the Verified Host immediately. Because a Trip booking is a contract directly between the Traveler and the Verified Host, the Verified Host will have the sole discretion in deciding how to handle the Traveler’s complaints. As a Traveler, you will also be asked and entitled to leave a review about the Trip on the Site and Services. However, you will be solely responsible to resolve any dispute arising out of or related to your Trip directly with the Verified Host, regardless of whether Tripsha has spoken to the Verified Host and/or Traveler regarding the issue. Under no circumstances shall Tripsha have any obligations or liability regarding disputes between Verified Hosts and Travelers other than as set forth in this Agreement.
6. As a Traveler, you accept responsibility for your conduct during your Trip. Tripsha shall be under no obligation whatsoever to pay compensation or meet any costs or expenses (including but not limited to alternative travel plans or accommodations) that you may incur as a result of your Trip being terminated early by the Verified Host because of your behavior.

Fees and Payments

1. You understand any and all fees, expenses, and payments for any Transaction shall be arranged directly between the Traveler and the Verified Host.
2. You understand that Tripsha does not collect, nor store payment and/or credit card information from you and that all payments are facilitated separately by Stripe, or any third-party payment or service facility used by Tripsha.
3. You understand that any and all credit card, debit card, bank, or other payment information supplied by you to pay for any Transaction is transmitted directly to Stripe or any third party payment or service facility used by Tripsha, which processes, stores, and otherwise uses such information in order to facilitate payment to a Verified Host.
4. You agree that you will be subject to Stripe’s Services Agreement, located at https://stripe.com/legal, which is incorporated herein by reference.
5. You understand that all pricing, rates, and fees for any Transaction, including the Trip Price, are set by the applicable Verified Host and that Tripsha does not set any such pricing, rates, or fees.
6. You agree to ensure that all payment information supplied by you is accurate and correct and kept updated with Stripe or any third party payment or service facility used by Tripsha at all times and that you are fully authorized to use such credit card and payment information and Stripe account (or account with any third party payment or service facility used by Tripsha) for purposes of paying for any Transaction.
7. You understand that once you make payment for any Transaction, you will not seek to cancel, charge back, or otherwise seek a refund on any basis that is fraudulent, misleading, or untrue.

Cancellations and refunds

1. All cancellations and refunds are subject to the Tripsha Cancellation and Refund Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.
2. All determinations regarding a cancellation and refund shall be made in the sole discretion of Tripsha and shall be final and binding on the Traveler and Verified Host, as between them.

Identity verifications

1. Tripsha procures certain identity verification services on Verified Hosts from third party service providers in Tripsha's discretion ("Identity Verifications").

You hereby represent, understand and expressly agree that Tripsha does not have control over or assume any responsibility for the quality, accuracy, or reliability of the information included in these checks. Furthermore, any inaccuracies in the report must be addressed with the identify verification service provider that issued it (and not Tripsha).
