7. Retreat Listings

As a Member, you may create Listings. To create a Listing, you will be asked a variety of questions about the Retreat to be listed, including, but not limited to, the location, capacity, features, and availability of the Retreat and pricing and related rules and financial terms. In order to be featured in Listings via the Site, Application and Services, all Centers must have valid physical addresses. Listings will be made publicly available via the Site, Application and Services.

Other Members will be able to book your Retreat via the Site, Application and Services based upon the information provided in your Listing, your Participant requirements, and Participants' search parameters and preferences. You understand and agree that once a Participant requests a Booking of your Retreat, you may not request the Participant to pay a higher price than in the Booking request.

You acknowledge and agree that you alone are responsible for any and all Listings and Member Content you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Listing you post and the Booking of, or a Participant's stay at, a Retreat in a Listing you post (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws, Tax requirements, Intellectual Property laws, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Retreat included in a Listing you post (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties. Please note that Ayamundo assumes no responsibility for a Center's compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations. Ayamundo reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Listing for any reason, including Listings that Ayamundo, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason.

If you are a Center, you understand and agree that Ayamundo does not act as an insurer or as your contracting agent. If a Participant requests a Booking of your Retreat and stays at your Retreat, any agreement you enter into with such Participant is between you and the Participant and Ayamundo is not a party to it.

Ayamundo recommends that Centers obtain appropriate insurance for their Retreats. Please review any insurance policy that you may have for your Retreat carefully, and in particular please make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy.

Ayamundo may offer Centers the option of having photographers/videographers take photographs of their Retreats. If you as a Center choose to have photographer/videographer do this, Ayamundo shall own all copyrights in photographs taken but these photographs will be made available to you to include in your Listing with a watermark or tag bearing the words "Ayamundo.com", "Ayamundo on Tour" or similar wording ("Verified Images"). You agree that you alone are responsible for ensuring that your Listing is accurately represented in the Verified Images. You alone are responsible for using the Verified Images for your Listing and you warrant that you will cease to use the Verified Images or any other images if such images cease to accurately represent your Listing or if you cease to be a Center for the Listing featured. All images, materials and content created by these photographers/videographers, including Verified Images, constitute Ayamundo Content, regardless of whether you include them in your Listing and you agree not to use them except in your Listing without prior authorization from Ayamundo. If your Ayamundo Account is terminated or suspended for any reason, you shall not use Verified Images in any way. You agree that Ayamundo retains its right to and may use the Verified Images for advertising, marketing, commercial and other business purposes in any media or platform, whether in relation to your Listing or otherwise, without further notice or compensation.

As a Member you are allowed to write reviews about Centers to share your experience with a Retreat. Only Members that have physically visited the Center and attended a Retreat are allowed to write a review on Ayamundo. Ayamundo may in its sole discretion decide to remove a review that does not or does not seem to comply with this rule. As a Member and composer of the review you agree with this when you submit a review.

8. No Endorsement

Ayamundo does not endorse any Member, Listing or Accommodation. You understand that Verified Images are intended only to indicate a photographic representation of the Retreat/Center at the time the photograph was taken. Verified Images are therefore not an endorsement by Ayamundo of any Member, Listing or Accommodation.

Any references in the Site, Application or Services to a Member being "verified" or "connected" (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification or identification process, and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by Ayamundo about any Member, including of the Member's identity and whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. We therefore recommend that you always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to stay with a Center or to accept or preapprove a Booking request from a Participant, or to have any other interaction with any other Member. We are not responsible for any damage or harm resulting from your interactions with other Members.

By using the Site, Application or Services, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other Members or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Members or other third parties who caused you harm. You agree not to attempt to impose liability on or seek any legal remedy from Ayamundo with respect to such actions or omissions.

9. Bookings and Financial Terms

A. Key definitions
"Retreat Fees" means the amounts that are due and payable by a Participant in exchange for that Participant's participation in a Retreat. The Center alone, and not Ayamundo, is responsible for the Retreat Fees for his or her Listing. The Center may in his or her sole discretion decide to include in these amounts (i) any fee permitted on the Ayamundo platform, or (ii) Taxes that the Center determines that they have to collect.

"Center Fees" means the fee (10%) that Ayamundo charges a Center for the use of the Services, which is calculated as a percentage of the applicable Retreat Fees.

"Banking Fees" means the fees, transaction fees, credit card fees, or other fees, that Ayamundo pays to the bank and/or payment processors when a transaction between Members is made. The sum of these Banking Fees is 2.4%

"Confirmed Booking" means a Booking that is confirmed by the Center. A Booking is only confirmed after the Participant has received a Communication that contains an explicit confirmation of the Booking.

"Payment Method" means a payment method that you have added to your Ayamundo Account, such as a credit card, debit card or PayPal.

"Service Fees" means Center Fees.

"Total Fees" means collectively the Service Fees (10%) plus Banking Fees (2.4%) plus any Taxes.

"Cancelation Fee" means a percentage (10%) of the Booking Total Amount that will be deducted from the Total Amount paid in case of the cancelation of a Retreat.

B. Bookings and Financial Terms for Centers
If you are a Center and a Booking is requested for your Retreat via the Site, Application or Services, you will be required to either pre approve, confirm or reject the Booking request within the Booking Request Period, otherwise the Booking request will automatically expire. When a Booking is requested via the Site, Application or Services, we will share with you the details of the Participant. When you confirm a Booking requested by a Participant, Ayamundo will send you a Communication confirming such Booking, depending on the selections you make via the Site, Application and Services.

Each Center agrees that Ayamundo may, in accordance with the cancellation policy selected by the Center and reflected in the relevant Listing, (i) permit the Participant to cancel the Booking and (ii) refund (via Ayamundo Payments) to the Participant that portion of the Retreat Fees specified in the applicable cancellation policy.

C. Bookings and Financial Terms for Guests
The Centers, not Ayamundo, are solely responsible for honoring any Confirmed Bookings and making available any Accommodations reserved through the Site, Application and Services. If you, as a Participant, choose to enter into a transaction with a Center for the Booking of a Retreat, you agree and understand that you will be required to enter into an agreement with the Center and you agree to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with such Retreat imposed by the Center.

You acknowledge and agree that you, and not Ayamundo, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any such agreements, that Ayamundo is not a party to such agreements, and that, with the exception of Ayamundo Payments' obligations pursuant to the Payments Terms, Ayamundo (inclusive of all subsidiaries) disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements.

The Total Fees payable will be displayed to a Participant before the Participant sends a Booking request to a Center. As noted above, the Center is required to either preapprove, confirm or reject the Booking request within the Booking Request Period; otherwise, the requested Booking will be automatically cancelled. Upon receipt of your Booking request, Ayamundo Payments may initiate a pre-authorization and/or charge a nominal amount to your Payment Method pursuant to the Payments Terms. If a requested Booking is cancelled (i.e. not confirmed by the applicable Center), any amounts collected by Ayamundo Payments will be refunded to such Participant, depending on the selections the Participant makes via the Site and Application, and any pre-authorization of such Participant's Payment Method will be released, if applicable.

You as a Participant agree to pay the Total Fees for any Booking requested, and in most cases confirmed, in connection with your Ayamundo Account. Ayamundo Payments will collect the Total Fees pursuant to the Payments Terms.

Once your Booking payment is complete you will receive a confirmation Communication summarising your Confirmed Booking.

D. Service Fees and Other Fees
In consideration for the use of Ayamundo's online marketplace and platform, Ayamundo charges Service Fees. Ayamundo Payments collects these Service Fees pursuant to the Payments Terms, and, where applicable, may also collect Taxes (such as VAT in Europe) in respect of the Center Fees (10%). Ayamundo Payments deducts the Total Fees from the Retreat Fees before remitting the balance to the Center as described in the Payments Terms.

Applicable Taxes collected by Ayamundo, will be shown to Participants via the Site and Application at checkout, prior to their submission of a Booking request. And, Ayamundo will disclose applicable Center Fees (10%) to Centers via the Site and Application.

E. General Booking and Financial Terms
IMPORTANT NOTE: all information under this section, as well as all information in this document that is related to finance, is only for Participants that book their Retreat through Ayamundo AND make a payment through Ayamundo Payments.

EA. Payment policy
If, as a Participant, you wish to make a booking, an initial deposit of 50% of the Retreat Total Amount is required to confirm the reservation. The Participant is required to pre authorize Ayamundo Payments to debit the Participant's account for the amount of at least 50% of the Retreat Total Amount. Ayamundo will only debit the amount after the Center has confirmed the reservation. A final instalment of the remaining part of the Booking Total Amount is due 21 days before the start of the first day of the Retreat, or if a Center requires the remaining amount to be paid cash upon arrival on the first day of the Retreat. If the Participant fails to pay the final instalment before that time, the Retreat reservation will be canceled and the reservation will be treated as if canceled by the Participant. When a Booking is confirmed less then or 28 days before the Retreat Start, 100% of the total Retreat Total Amount should be deposited.

If, as a Center, a Participant makes a Booking Request, the Booking Request will only turn into a Confirmed Booking Request when the Center confirmed the booking. The moment the Center confirms the Booking, a legal binding between the Center and Participant is created, in which the Center confirms to deliver its product (Retreat) and the Participant confirms to pay for the product. Ayamundo is in no way, shape or form, part of this legal binding. The Center will receive the Booking payment as follows. 100% - Total Fees of the Retreat Total Amount will be transferred to the center about 24 hours after the Retreat Start.

Any Communications through Ayamundo's Site, Application or Services that lead to a successful Booking, including but not limited to a Booking Request or Contact Request, new or reoccurring, obliges the Center to pay the Total Fees of The Retreat Total Amount. The Center is obligated to notify Ayamundo about successful Bookings of which Payments where handled outside Ayamundo Payments.

When funds is transferred between a Participant, Ayamundo, and the Center, any bank transaction costs are, without exception, paid by the Center.

EB. Cancellations and Refunds
If, as a Member, you wish to cancel a Confirmed Booking made via the Site, Application and Services, either prior to or after arriving at the Accommodation, the following cancellation policy will apply.

A participant can cancel a Confirmed Booking at anytime before the start of the Retreat. The "Cooling Off" period allows a participant to cancel a Booking within 24 hours after the booking request was submitted on Ayamundo, or at anytime before a Center confirms a Booking Request, at no cost. There is no Cooling Off period when a Participant makes a Booking 24 hours or less before the Retreat Start. After the Cooling Off period the following rules apply. Cancelation 46 days or more before the Retreat Start will result in a full refund minus a 10% cancelation fee. Cancelation 45-22 days before the Retreat Start will result in a full refund minus a 50% cancelation fee. Cancelation 21-8 days before the Retreat Start will result in a full refund minus a 80% cancelation fee. If a Participant cancels a Confirmed Booking 7-0 days before the Retreat Start then a refund is not possible.

If the Participant leaves the Retreat before it is officially over, for whichever reason, there will be no full, nor partial refunds paid. In addition the transportation and all other expenses will fall exclusively to the Participant.

If, as a Center, a Participant cancels a Confirmed Booking at your Center, the following compensations apply. Cancelation 45+ days before the Retreat Start will result in a compensation of 0% of the Retreat Total Amount. Cancelation 44-21 days before the Retreat Start will result in a compensation of 50% - Total Fees of the Retreat Total Amount. Cancelation 20-8 days before the Retreat Start will result in a compensation of 80% - Total Fees of the Retreat Total Amount. Cancelation 7-0 days before the Retreat Start will result in a compensation of 100% - Total Fees of the Retreat Total Amount.

If a Center cancels a Confirmed Booking made via the Site, Services, and Application, (i) Ayamundo Payments will refund the Total Amount paid for such Booking to the applicable Participant pursuant to the Payments Terms and (ii) the Participant might receive a Communication from Ayamundo containing alternative Listings and other related information. If the Participant requests a Booking from one of the alternative Listings and the Center associated with such alternative Listing confirms the Participants's requested Booking, then the Participant agrees to pay the difference in price if the alternative option is more expensive. If the alternative Listing is a less expensive option, then Ayamundo will refund the difference. If a Center cancelled a Confirmed Booking and you, as a Participant, have not received a Communication from Ayamundo, please contact Ayamundo.

If a Center cancels a Confirmed Booking made via the Site, Services, and Application because the Participant failed to communicate, or provided inaccurate information, during the time of booking, about any physical or psychological treatments he or she is going through, or expects to be going through, before, after or during the time of the retreat, then this cancelation will be treated as a Cancelation by the Participant.

If, as a Center, you cancel a Confirmed Booking, you agree that Ayamundo will apply penalties or consequences to you or your Listing, including (i) keeping the calendar for your Listing unavailable or blocked for the dates of the cancelled Booking, and (ii) imposing a cancellation fee of Cancelation Fee (10%) + Banking Fees (2.4%) of the total Listing price, and (iii) a full refund to Ayamundo of the Booking's Total Amount paid. You will be notified of the situations in which a cancellation fee applies before you decide to cancel.

If, as a Center, you fail to deliver a Retreat, it will be treated as a Cancelation by the Center. In such case that a Cancelation comes to notice to the Participant before the Center notifies Ayamundo, it is the sole duty of the Participant to notify Ayamundo before 24 hours after the Retreat Start. If the Participant fails to notify Ayamundo before 24 hours after the Retreat Start then Ayamundo can not guarantee a refund of any of the Retreat Total Amount paid.

If, as a Center, you are in default, a Cancelation will be treated as a Cancelation by the Center. Ayamundo is allowed, in its sole discretion, to cancel any Booking on behalf of the Center if Ayamundo deems a Center / Retreat to be unsafe, or otherwise unable to provide a stable (physical or psychological) environment for its Participants.

As a Participant you can cancel your booking in your Ayamundo account, or by using this form.

EC. Rounding Off Ayamundo may, in its sole discretion, round up or round down amounts that are payable from or to Participants or Centers to the nearest whole functional base unit in which the currency is denominated (e.g. to the nearest dollar, euro or other supported currency); for example, Ayamundo will round up an amount of 102.00, and 101.00.

Some currencies are denominated in large numbers. In those cases, Ayamundo may determine the functional base unit in which those currencies are denominated to be 10, 100 or 1,000 of the currency; the corresponding examples for such currencies would be for Ayamundo to round up an amount of 1,045 up to 1,050 and 1,044 down to 1,040, or 35,450 up to 35,500 and 35,449 down to 35,400, or 837,500 up to 838,000 and 837,499 down to 837,000.

ED. Booking Modifications
You as a Participant or Center are responsible for any modifications to a Booking that you direct Ayamundo Customer Service to make ("Booking Modifications"), and you agree to pay any Retreat Fees, Center Fees (10%), Services Fees, Banking Fees (2.4%) and/or Taxes associated with such Booking Modifications.

F. Communications

All communication between Members is directed through the Ayamundo Messaging system to a) protect the Member's contact details, b) to gather data (like response times) and c) to add functionality to messages to enhance the Members' contact experience. Communication can be stored in the Ayamundo Messaging system (databases and log files), and can be used to resolve technical issues, to resolve Booking disputes between Members, and to ensure the Ayamundo platform is used as intended. Only a select few, authorised, in-house, Ayamundo employees are granted access to this data. They are required to keep all information confidential.

10. Taxes

Tax regulations may require us to collect appropriate tax information from our Centers, or to withhold taxes from payouts to Centers, or both. You as a Host are solely responsible for keeping the information in your tax forms current, complete and accurate. If you as a Center fail to provide us with documentation that we determine to be sufficient to alleviate our obligation (if any) to withhold taxes from payments to you, we reserve the right in our sole discretion to freeze all payouts to you until resolution, to withhold such amounts as required by law, or to do both.

You as a Center understand and agree that you are solely responsible for meeting your applicable Tax reporting requirements, and the Taxes that should be included, and for including Taxes to be collected or obligations relating to applicable Taxes in Listings. You are also solely responsible for remitting to the relevant authority any Taxes included or received by you. Ayamundo cannot and does not offer Tax-related advice to any Members.

Where applicable, or based upon request from a Participant, Ayamundo may issue a valid VAT invoice to such Center.

You understand and acknowledge that appropriate governmental agencies, departments or authorities (the "Tax Authority") where your Retreat is located may require Taxes to be collected from Participants or Centers on the amount paid for the right to exercise retreats, and to be remitted to the respective Tax Authority.

Centers and Participants acknowledge and agree that nothing contained in these Terms of Service is a representation or guarantee that Ayamundo will facilitate collection of Tax anywhere at all.

11. Currency Conversion

Ayamundo's online platform facilitates Bookings between Participants and Centers who may pay in a currency different from their destination currency, which may require currency conversions to accommodate these differing currency preferences. Although the Ayamundo platform might allow users to view the price of Listings in a number of currencies, the currencies available for users to make and receive payments may be limited, and may not include the default currency in any given geographic location.

12. Damage to Centers and Retreats

As a Participant, you are responsible for leaving the Retreat (including any personal or other property located at a Retreat) in the condition it was in when you arrived. You acknowledge and agree that, as a Participant, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals whom you invite to, or otherwise provide access to, the Retreat. In the event that a Center claims otherwise and provides evidence of damage you agree to pay the cost of replacing the damaged items with equivalent items.

13. User Conduct
