6. Experiences

   As an Expert, you may create Experiences. To this end, you will be asked a variety of questions about the Experience to be listed, including, but not limited to, the location, capacity, menu, date, and pricing and related rules and financial terms. In order to be featured in Experiences via the Service, all Experiences must have valid physical addresses. Experiences will be made publicly available via the Website, Mobile App and Service. Guests will be able to book your Experience based upon the information provided in your Experience. You understand and agree that once a Guest requests a seat at a Host’s Experience, the price for such booking may not be altered.

   You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for any Experiences you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Experience you post and the booking of, or Guest's attendance at, an Experience you post (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, (ii) will be in compliance with all applicable laws, Tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any event or venue included in an Experience you post, including, but not limited to, zoning laws, health laws, license laws and any other applicable laws governing properties, food and unique ingredients, such as cannabis (iii) will be in compliance with all applicable law, policy or procedure of a governmental authority of the state or local jurisdiction in which you operate, which includes without limitation, any state or local laws or regulations relating to cannabis and the production, ingredients, manufacture, labeling, advertising, promotion, sale, or safety of cannabis products, food or Experience, and (iv) will not conflict with the rights of third parties. Please note that Credible assumes no responsibility for a Host’s compliance with any applicable laws or a Host’s failure to comply with the terms stated above.

   If you are a Host that wishes to create an Experience that includes cannabis, you must provide the appropriate licensing information in the description of your Event, such that the appropriate license is easily identifiable by Guests.

   You understand and agree that Credible does not act as an insurer or as a contracting agent for, or representative of, you as a Host, and if a Guest requests a booking of your Experience and participates in your Experience, any agreement you enter into with such Guest is between you and the Guest and Credible is not a party thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Credible serves as the limited authorized payment collection agent of the Host for the purpose of accepting, on behalf of the Host, payments from Guests of the amounts stipulated by the Host in the Host's listing for the Experience.

   Please note that Credible reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Experience for any reason, including Experiences that Credible, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms, or otherwise harmful to the Website, Mobile App or Service.

   When you create an Experience, you may also choose to include certain requirements which must be met by the Guests who are eligible to request a booking of your Experience, including, but not limited to, requiring Guests to have a profile picture, verified phone number, or age verification, in order to book your Experience. Any Guest wishing to book Experiences with such requirements must meet these requirements.

   If you are a Host, Credible provides you with options to control your guest list. You can make Experiences open to all Guests, first come first served, or can control your guest list by either manually approving each Guest who books an Experience or by distributing passwords that Guests must input in order to buy a ticket to your Experience. We also make certain information available to you to help you decide which Guests you choose to confirm for your Experiences. You acknowledge and agree that, as a Host, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals who are present at the Experience at your request or invitation.

   Credible has purchased an insurance coverage to protect Hosts. As with any insurance policy, additional insurance terms, limitations, and exclusions apply. We do not procure insurance for, nor are we responsible for, personal belongings left at any location by the Guests. None of the statements in this section should be interpreted as binding and are provided for quick reference only.

   Credible recommends that Hosts obtain their own appropriate insurance for their Experiences. Please review any insurance policy that you may have for your Experience 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, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of persons (including the Guests and any individuals the Guests invite to the Experience, if applicable) while at your Experience.

7. Bookings and Financial Terms for Hosts

   If you are a Host and a booking is requested for your Experience via the Service, the booking will automatically be accepted if room for the Experience is available unless you opted to manually approve each Guest. When a booking is requested via the Service, we will share with you (i) the first and last name of the Guest who has requested the booking, (ii) a link to the Guest’s Credible Account profile page or, when available, relevant information about the Guest, including any dietary restrictions noted by the Guest, and whether the Guest has been to any of your previous Experiences as booked through the Service, and (iii) an indication that the name that the Guest provided to Credible when the Guest registered with the Service matches the name that the Guest provided to the Integrated Service to which the Guest has linked his or her Credible Account, so that you can view such information before confirming or rejecting the booking (if you've selected that option). If you've opted to approve bookings and don't approve a Guest's request to attend by the date and time of the Experience, the Guest will be unable to attend the Experience and any amounts collected by Credible for the requested booking will be refunded to the applicable Guest’s credit card and any pre-authorization of such credit card will be released.

   When you confirm a booking requested by a Guest, Credible will send you an email, text message or message via the Mobile App confirming such booking, depending on the selections you make via the Service.

   The fees displayed in each Experience are comprised of the Experience Fees (defined below) and the Service Fees (defined below.) Where applicable, Taxes may be charged in addition to the Experience Fees and Service Fees. The Experience Fees, the Service Fees and applicable Taxes are collectively referred to in these Terms as the "Total Fees".

   The amounts due and payable by a Guest solely relating to a Host’s Experience are the "Experience Fees". Please note that it is the Host, and not Credible, that determines the Experience Fees. The Experience Fee may include a cleaning fee, at the Host’s discretion. Credible charges a fee to Guests based upon a percentage of applicable Experience Fees, which are the "Guest Fees". The Guest Fees are added to the Experience Fees to calculate the Total Fees (which will also include applicable Taxes) displayed in the applicable Experience. Credible will collect the Total Fees at the time of booking confirmation and will remit the Experience Fees (less Host Fees (if any, as defined below)) to the Host within 24 hours of when the Guest arrives at the applicable Experience.

   Each Host hereby appoints Credible as the Host’s limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting the Experience Fees from Guests.

   Each Host agrees that payment made by a Guest through the Service shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to the Host, and the Host will make the Experiences available to the Guest in the agreed-upon manner as if the Guest has received the Experience Fees. Each Host agrees that Credible may, in accordance with the cancellation policy selected by the Host and reflected in the relevant listing, (i) permit the Guest to cancel the booking and (ii) refund to the Guest that portion of the Experience Fees specified in the applicable cancellation policy. Each Host understands that Credible accepts payments from Guests as the Host’s limited payment collection agent and that Credible’s obligation to pay the Host is subject to and conditional upon successful receipt of the associated payments from Guests. Credible does not guarantee payments to Hosts for amounts that have not been successfully received by Credible from Guests. In accepting appointment as the limited authorized agent of the Host, Credible assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of the Host.

   Please note that Credible does not currently charge Hosts any fees for the creation of Experiences ("Host Fees"). However, Credible reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to charge and collect Host Fees from Hosts for the creation of Experiences. Host Fees would be deducted from the Experience Fees before remitting the Experience Fees to the Host, within 24 hours of when the Guest arrives at the applicable Experience. Please note that Credible will provide notice of any Host Fee collection via the Service prior to implementing such a Host Fee.

8. Bookings and Financial Terms for Guests

   The Hosts, not Credible, are solely responsible for honoring any confirmed bookings and making available any Experiences reserved through the Service. If you, as a Guest, choose to enter into a transaction with a Host for the booking of an Experience, you agree and understand that you will be required to enter into an agreement with the Host and you agree to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with such Experience imposed by the Host. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not Credible, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any such agreements, and Credible is not a party to such agreements and disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements.

   Experiences will specify the Total Fees. As noted above, if the Host has reserved the right to confirm bookings, a Guest booking is not confirmed until the Host confirms the booking. If a requested booking is cancelled (i.e. not confirmed by the applicable Host), any amounts collected by Credible will be refunded to such Guest, depending on the selections the Guest makes via the Website and Mobile App, and any pre-authorization of such Guest’s credit card will be released, if applicable.

   You agree to pay Credible for the Total Fees for any booking requested in connection with your Credible Account if such requested bookings are confirmed by the applicable Host. In order to establish a booking pending the applicable Host’s confirmation of your requested booking, you understand and agree that Credible reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) obtain a pre-authorization via your credit card for the Total Fees or (ii) charge your credit card a nominal amount, not to exceed one dollar ($1), or a similar sum in the currency in which you are transacting ( e.g. one euro or one British pound) to verify your credit card. Once Credible receives confirmation of your booking from the applicable Host, Credible will collect the Total Fees in accordance with the terms and conditions of these Terms and the pricing terms set forth in the applicable Experience. Please note that Credible cannot control any fees that may be charged to a Guest by his or her bank related to Credible’s collection of the Total Fees, and Credible disclaims all liability in this regard.

   In connection with your requested booking, you will be asked to provide customary billing information such as name, billing address and credit card information either to Credible or its third party payment processor. You agree to pay Credible for any confirmed bookings made in connection with your Credible Account in accordance with these Terms by one of the methods described on the Website or Mobile App – e.g. by PayPal or credit card. You hereby authorize the collection of such amounts by charging the credit card provided as part of requesting the booking, either directly by Credible or indirectly, via a third party online payment processor or by one of the payment methods described on the Website or Mobile App. If you are directed to Credible’s third party payment processor, you may be subject to terms and conditions governing use of that third party’s service and that third party’s personal information collection practices. Please review such terms and conditions and privacy policy before using their services. Once your confirmed booking transaction is complete you will receive a confirmation email summarizing your confirmed booking.

9. Service Fees

   In consideration for providing the Service, Credible collects Guest Fees from Guests and may, in the future, collect Host Fees from Hosts (collectively, "Service Fees"). Where applicable, Taxes may also be charged.

   Balances net of the Service Fees will be remitted to Hosts via PayPal, direct deposit or other payment methods described on the Website or via the Mobile App, in the Host’s currency of choice (as available by the payment processor), depending upon the selections the Host makes via the Service. Please note that for any payments by Credible in currencies other than U.S. dollars, Credible may deduct foreign currency processing costs from such payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, Service Fees are non-refundable.

10. Fees for Other Portions of the Service

    Many portions of the Service are provided to you for free, but Credible reserves the right to implement fees for any portion of the Service at any time by providing you notice. You are responsible for all fees charged by third parties to access and use the Service (e.g., charges by ISPs or mobile carriers).

11. Cancellations and Refunds

    If, as a Guest, you cancel your requested booking before the requested booking is confirmed by a Host, Credible will refund any Experience Fees collected for such requested booking within a commercially reasonable time. If, as a Guest, you wish to cancel a booking made via the Website which has been confirmed by the Service, the cancellation policy of the Host contained in the applicable Experience will apply to such cancellation.

    If a Host cancels a confirmed booking made via the Service, (i) Credible will refund the Total Fees for such booking to the applicable Guest within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation and (ii) the Guest will receive an email or other communication from Credible containing alternative Experiences and other related information. If the Guest requests a booking from one of the alternative Experiences and the Host associated with such alternative Experience confirms the Guest’s requested booking, then the Guest agrees to pay Credible the Guest Fees relating to the confirmed booking for the alternative Experience, in accordance with these Terms. If a Host cancelled a confirmed booking and you, as a Guest, have not received an email or other communication from Credible, please contact Credible at support@chefsfeed.com.

12. Payment Processing Errors

    We will take steps to rectify any payment processing errors that we become aware of. These steps may include crediting or debiting (as appropriate) the same payment method used for the original payout to or payment by you, so that you end up receiving or paying the correct amount.

13. Taxes

    In order to comply with U.S. Federal tax reporting requirements, we may be required to collect social security numbers or taxpayer identification numbers on IRS Form W-9 from all Hosts hosting Experiences in the United States. You agree that you are solely responsible for determining your applicable sales tax, value added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST) and other similar municipal, state and federal indirect or other withholding and personal or corporate income tax ("Tax") reporting and payment requirements in consultation with your tax advisors. We cannot and do not offer Tax-related advice to any users of the Service. Additionally, please note that each Host is responsible for determining local indirect Taxes and for including any applicable Taxes to be collected or obligations relating to applicable Taxes on Experiences. Where applicable, or based upon request from a Host, Credible may issue a valid VAT invoice to such Host.

14. Damage to Venue of Experience

    As a Guest, you are responsible for treating the location in which the Experience is served in a respectful manner. You acknowledge and agree that, as a Guest, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals who you invite to, or otherwise provide access to, the Experience. In the event that a Host claims otherwise and provides evidence of damage, including but not limited to, photographs, you agree to pay the cost of replacing the damaged items with equivalent items. After being notified of the claim and given forty eight (48) hours to respond, Credible shall, on behalf of the Host, charge the payment to the credit card on file in your Credible Account, and you and the Host expressly authorize Credible to do so. Host also authorizes Credible to charge the credit card on file in your Credible Account, or otherwise collect payment from you and pursue any avenues available to Credible in this regard, in situations in which you have been determined to have damaged any Experience Location, including, but not limited to, in relation to any payment requests made by Hosts, and in relation to any payments made by Credible to Hosts. If we are unable to charge the credit card on file or otherwise collect payment from you, you agree to remit payment for any damage to the Experience Location to the applicable Host or to Credible (if applicable).

    Both Guests and Hosts agree to cooperate with and assist Credible in good faith, and to provide Credible with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Credible, in connection with any complaints or claims made by Members relating to Experiences or any personal or other property located at an Experience Location or with respect to any investigation undertaken by Credible or a representative of Credible regarding use or abuse of the Website, Mobile App or the Service. If you are a Guest, to the extent you are reasonably able to do so, you agree to participate in mediation or similar resolution process with a Host, at no cost to you, which process will be conducted by Credible or a third party selected by Credible, with respect to losses for which the Host is requesting payment.

    If you are a Guest, you understand and agree that Credible or a Host reserves the right, in any of their sole discretion, to make a claim under your homeowner’s, renter’s or other insurance policy related to any damage or loss that you may have caused or been responsible for to an Experience Location or any personal or other property located at an Experience Location. You agree to cooperate with and assist Credible in good faith, and to provide Credible with such information as may be reasonably requested by Credible in order to make a claim under your homeowner’s, renter’s or other insurance policy, including, but not limited to, executing documents and taking such further acts as Credible may reasonably request to assist Credible in accomplishing the foregoing.

15. Donations

    Some Hosts may pledge to donate a portion of the funds they receive from Experiences offered via the Service to a particular cause or charity. We do not control, and do not take any responsibility or liability for, whether the Host does in fact make the donation the Host pledged to make, or whether the Host complies with any laws regarding charitable donations or cause related marketing, or whether any payment or donation is Tax deductible or the amount that may be deductible.

16. Foreign Currency

    As part of the Service, Credible provides a feature through which users may view Total Fees for various Experiences in foreign currencies. These Total Fees listed in foreign currencies are for informational purposes only. You understand and agree that any such foreign currencies are not the official Total Fees and at the time you request a booking you will be notified of the currency in which you will be charged together with the corresponding amount, should your booking be confirmed by a Host. Unless otherwise communicated to you as contemplated herein, Total Fees are payable in United States currency.

17. No Endorsement

    We do not endorse any users of our Service, Guests, Hosts, Experiences, User Content, Licensed Content or any other person, entity or third party content. In addition, although these Terms require our users to provide accurate information, we do not attempt to confirm, and do not confirm, any user's purported identity.
