Terms of Service for Non-European Users
Section 23 of these Terms
contains an arbitration agreement and class action waiver that apply to
all claims brought against Tramona in the United States. Please read
them carefully. Last Updated: January 25, 2023
Thank you for using Tramona!
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding legal agreement between you and Tramona that
governs your right to use the websites, applications, and other
offerings from Tramona (collectively, the “Tramona Platform”). When used in these Terms, “Tramona,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to the Tramona entity set out on Schedule 1 with whom
you are contracting. The Tramona Platform offers an online venue that
enables users (“Members”) to publish, offer, search for, and book services. Members who
publish and offer services are “Hosts” and Members who search for, book, or use services are
“Guests.” Hosts offer accommodations (“Accommodations”), activities, excursions, events (“Experiences”), and a variety of travel and other services (collectively,
“Host Services,” and each Host Service offering, a “Listing”). You must register an account to access and use many features
of the Tramona Platform and must keep your account information accurate.
As the provider of the Tramona Platform, Tramona does not own, control,
offer, or manage any Listings or Host Services. Tramona is not a party
to the contracts entered into directly between Hosts and Guests, nor is
Tramona a real estate broker, travel agency, or insurer. Tramona is not
acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member, except as specified
in the Payments Terms of Service (“Payment Terms”). To learn more about Tramona’s role see Section 16.
We maintain other terms and policies that supplement these Terms
like our Privacy Policy, which describes our collection and use of
personal data, and our Payments Terms, which govern any payment services
provided to Members by the Tramona payment entities (collectively
"Tramona Payments").
If you are a Host, you are responsible for understanding
and complying with all laws, rules, regulations, and contracts with
third parties that apply to your Host Services.
Guest Terms
1. Our Mission.
Make the most efficient travel marketplace
2. Searching and Booking on Tramona.
2.1 Searching. You can search for Host Services by using criteria like the type of
Host Service, travel destination, travel dates, and number of guests.
You can also use filters to refine your search results. Search results
are based on their relevance to your search and other criteria.
Relevance considers factors like price, availability, Reviews, customer
service and cancellation history, popularity, previous
trips and
saved Listings, Host requirements (e.g. minimum or maximum nights), and
more. Learn more about search results in our Help Center.
2.2 Booking. When you book a Listing, you are agreeing to pay all charges for your
booking including the Listing price, applicable fees like
Tramona’s Service Fee, offline fees, taxes, and any other items
identified during checkout (collectively, “Total Price”). You are also agreeing that Tramona via Tramona Payments may
charge the Payment Method (as defined in the Payment Terms) used to book
the Listing in order to collect Damage Claim (as defined in Section 15)
amounts. When you receive the booking confirmation, a contract for Host
Services (a "Reservation") is formed directly between you and the Host. In addition to these
Terms, you will be subject to, and responsible for complying with, all
terms of the Reservation, including without limitation, the cancellation
policy and any other rules, standards, policies, or requirements
identified in the Listing or during checkout that apply to the
Reservation. It is your responsibility to read and understand these
rules, standards, policies, and requirements before booking a Listing.Be
aware that some Hosts work with a co-host or as part of a team to
provide their Host Services.
2.3 Accommodation Reservations. An Accommodation Reservation is a limited license to enter, occupy,
and use the Accommodation. The Host retains the right to re-enter the
Accommodation during your stay, to the extent: that (i) it is reasonably
necessary, (ii) permitted by your contract with the Host, and (iii)
consistent with applicable law. If you stay past checkout, the Host has
the right to make you leave in a manner consistent with applicable law,
including by imposing reasonable overstay penalties. You may not exceed
the maximum number of allowed Guests.
2.4 Reservations for Experiences and Other Host Services. An Experience or other Host Service Reservation entitles you to
participate in, attend, or use that Host Service. You are responsible
for confirming that you, and anyone you invite, meet minimum age,
proficiency, fitness, or other requirements. You are responsible for
informing the Host of any medical or physical conditions, or other
circumstances that may impact your ability to participate, attend, or
use the Host Service. Except where expressly authorized, you may not
allow any person to join a Host Service unless they are included as an
additional guest during the booking process.
2.5 Tramona is only a referral company. When you book a booking on Airbnb or VRBO you agree to their
conditions. We are not liable for what happens on an external website. Tramona shall not be held liable for any experience when a booking is
done through a website that is not www.Tramona.com
3. Cancellations, Travel Issues, Refunds, and Booking
Modifications.
3.1 Cancellations, Travel Issues, and Refunds. In general, if as a Guest you cancel a Reservation, the amount
refunded to you is determined by the cancelation policy that applies to
that Reservation. But, in certain situations, other policies take
precedence and determine what amount is refunded to you. If something
outside your control forces you to cancel a Reservation, you may be
eligible for a partial or full refund under our extenuating
circumstances policy. If the Host cancels, or you experience a Travel
Issue (as defined in our rebooking and refund policy), you may be
eligible for rebooking assistance or a partial or full refund under the
rebooking and refund policy. Different policies apply to certain
categories of Listings; for example, Experiences Reservations are
governed by the experiences guest refund policy, and Luxe Reservations
are governed by the luxe rebooking and refund policy. See each
additional legal term or policy for details about what is covered, and
what refund applies in each situation.
3.2 Booking Modifications. Guests and Hosts are responsible for any booking modifications they
agree to make via the Tramona Platform or direct Tramona customer
service to make on their behalf ("Booking Modifications"), and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees, or taxes
associated with any Booking Modification.
4. Your Responsibilities and Assumption of Risk.
4.1 Your Responsibilities. You are responsible and liable for your acts and omissions and are
also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you invite to join
or provide access to any Accommodation, Experience, or other Host
Service. For example, this means: (i) you are responsible for leaving an
Accommodation (and related personal property) in the condition it was in
when you arrived, (ii) you are responsible for paying all reasonable
Damage Claim amounts necessary to cover damage that you, your guest(s),
or your pet(s) cause to an Accommodation, and (iii) you must act with
integrity, treat others with respect, and comply with applicable laws at
all times. If you are looking for an additional guest who is a minor or
if you bring a minor to a Host Service, you must be legally authorized
to act on behalf of the minor and you are solely responsible for the
supervision of that minor.
4.2 Your Assumption of Risk. You acknowledge that many activities carry inherent risks and agree
that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you assume the
entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Tramona
Platform and any Content (as defined in Section 10), including your stay
at any Accommodation, participation in any Experience, use of any other
Host Service, or any other interaction you have with other Members
whether in person or online. This means it is your responsibility to
investigate a Host Service to determine whether it is suitable for you.
For example, Host Services may carry risk of illness, bodily injury,
disability, or death, and you freely and willfully assume those risks by
choosing to participate in those Host Services.
Host Terms
5. Hosting on Tramona.
5.1 Host. As a Host, Tramona offers you the right to use the Tramona Platform
to share your Accommodation, Experience, or other Host Services with our
vibrant community of Guests - and earn money doing it. It’s easy
to create a Listing and you are in control of how you host - set your
price, availability, and rules for each Listing.
5.2 Contracting with Guests. When you accept a booking request or receive a booking confirmation
through the Tramona Platform, you are entering into a contract directly
with the Guest, and are responsible for delivering your Host Service
under the terms and at the price specified in your Listing. You are also
agreeing to pay applicable fees like Tramona’s service fee (and
applicable taxes) for each booking. Tramona Payments will deduct amounts
you owe from your payout unless we and you agree to a different method.
Any terms, policies, or conditions that you include in any supplemental
contract with Guests must: (i) be consistent with these Terms, our
Additional legal terms, policies, and the information provided in your
Listing, and (ii) be prominently disclosed in your Listing description.
5.3 Independence of Hosts. Your relationship with Tramona is that of an independent individual
or entity and not an employee, agent, joint venturer, or partner of
Tramona, except that Tramona Payments acts as a payment collection agent
as described in the Payments Terms. Tramona does not direct or control
your Host Service, and you agree that you have complete discretion
whether and when to provide Host Services, and at what price and on what
terms to offer them. 6. Managing Your Listing.
6.1 Creating and Managing Your Listing. The Tramona Platform provides tools that make it easy for you to set
up and manage a Listing. Your Listing must include complete and accurate
information about your Host Service, your price, other charges like
cleaning fees, resort fees, offline fees, and any
rules or
requirements that apply to your Guests or Listing. You are responsible
for keeping your Listing information (including calendar availability)
and content (like photos) up-to-date and accurate at all times. We
recommend that you obtain appropriate insurance for your Host Services
and suggest you carefully review policy terms and conditions including
coverage details and exclusions. You may only maintain one Listing per
Accommodation but may have multiple Listings for a single property if it
has multiple places to stay. Any offer of an Experience is subject to
our Additional Terms for Experience Hosts.
6.2 Know Your Legal Obligations. You are responsible for understanding and complying with any laws,
rules, regulations, and contracts with third parties that apply to your
Listing or Host Services. For example: Some landlords and leases, or
homeowner and condominium association rules, restrict or prohibit
subletting, short-term rentals, and/or longer-term stays. Some cities
have zoning or other laws that restrict the short-term rental of
residential properties. Some jurisdictions require Hosts to register,
get a permit, or obtain a license before providing certain Host Services
(such as short-term rentals, longer-term stays, preparing food, serving
alcohol for sale, guiding tours, or operating a vehicle). In some
places, the Host Services you want to offer may be prohibited
altogether. Some jurisdictions require that you register Guests who stay
at your Accommodation. Some jurisdictions have laws that create tenancy
rights for Guests and additional obligations for Hosts. For example,
some places have landlord-tenant, rent control, and eviction laws that
may apply to longer stays. Check your local rules to learn what rules
apply to the Host Services you plan to offer. Information we provide
regarding legal requirements is for informational purposes only and you
should independently confirm your obligations. You are responsible for
handling and using the personal data of Guests and others in compliance
with applicable privacy laws and these Terms, including our Host Privacy
Standards. If you have questions about how local laws apply you should
always seek legal advice.
6.3 Search Ranking. The ranking of Listings in search results on the Tramona Platform
depends on a variety of factors, including these main parameters:
● Guest search parameters (e.g. number of Guests, time
and duration of the trip, price range), ● Listing characteristics
(e.g. price, calendar availability, number and quality of images,
Reviews, type of Host Service, Host status, age of the Listing, average
Guest popularity), ● Guest booking experience (e.g. customer
service and cancellation history of the Host, ease of booking),
● Host requirements (e.g. minimum or maximum nights, booking
cut-off time), and ● Guest preferences (e.g. previous trips, saved
Listings, the location from where the Guest is searching).
Search results may appear different on our mobile
application than they appear on our website. Tramona may allow Hosts to
promote their Listings in search or elsewhere on the Tramona Platform by
paying an additional fee. More information about the factors that
determine how your Listing appears in search results, our current
promotional programs (if any), and how we identify promoted Content can
be found in our Help Center.
6.4 Your Responsibilities. You are responsible and liable for your acts and omissions and are
also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you allow to
participate in providing your Host Services. You are responsible for
setting your price and establishing rules and requirements for your
Listing. You must describe any and all fees and charges in your Listing
description and may not
collect any additional fees or charges
outside the Tramona Platform except those expressly authorized by our
Offline Fee Policy. Do not encourage Guests to create third-party
accounts, submit reviews, provide their contact information, or take
other actions outside the Tramona Platform in violation of our
Off-Platofrm Policy.
6.5 Hosting as a Team or Organization. If you work with a co-host or host as part of a team, business, or
other organization, the entity and each individual who participates in
providing Host Services is responsible and liable as a Host under these
Terms. If you accept terms or enter into contracts, you represent and
warrant that you are authorized to enter into contracts for and bind
your team, business, or other organization, and that each entity you use
is in good standing under the laws of the place where it is established.
If you perform other functions, you represent and warrant that you are
authorized to perform those functions. If you instruct Tramona to
transfer a portion of your payout to a co-host or other Hosts, or to
send payments to someone else, you must be authorized to do so, and are
responsible and liable for the payment amounts and accuracy of any
payout information you provide.
6.6 Your Assumption of Risk. You acknowledge that hosting carries inherent risks and agree that you
assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the
Tramona Platform, offering Host Services, or any interaction you have
with other Members whether in person or online. You agree that you have
had the opportunity to investigate the Tramona Platform and any laws,
rules, regulations, or obligations that may be applicable to your
Listings or Host Services and that you are not relying upon any
statement of law made by Tramona.
7. Cancellations, Travel Issues,
and Booking Modifications.
7.1 Cancellations and Travel Issues. In general, if a Guest cancels a Reservation, the amount paid to you
is determined by the cancellation policy that applies to that
Reservation. As a host, you should not cancel on a Guest without a valid
reason under our Extenuating Circumstances Policy or applicable law. If
you cancel on a Guest without such a valid reason, we may impose a
cancellation fee and other consequences. If: (i) a Guest experiences a
Travel Issue (as defined by the Reebooking and Refund Policy), (ii) an
Extenuating Circumstance arises, or (iii) a Reservation is canceled
under Section 13 of these Terms, the amount you are paid will be reduced
by the amount we refund or otherwise provide to the Guest, and by any
other reasonable costs we incur as a result of the cancellation. If a
Guest receives a refund after you have already been paid, or the amount
of the refund and other costs incurred by Tramona exceeds your payout,
Tramona (via Tramona Payments) may recover that amount from you,
including by offsetting the refund against your future payouts. You
agree that Tramona’s Reebooking and Refund Policy Extentutating
Circumstances Policy, and these Terms preempt the cancellation policy
you set in situations where they allow for the cancellation of a
Reservation and/or the issuance of refunds to Guests. If we reasonably
expect to provide a refund to a Guest under one of these policies, we
may delay release of any payout for that Reservation until a refund
decision is made. If you Host an Experience please note that the
Experience Cancellation Policy, Experiences Guest Refund Policy and
different cancellation fees and consequences apply to your Reservations.
See each Policy for details about what is covered, and what your payout
will be in each situation.
7.2 Booking Modifications. Hosts and Guests are responsible for any Booking Modifications they
agree to make via the Tramona Platform or direct Tramona customer
service to make on their behalf, and agree to pay any additional
amounts, fees or taxes associated with a Booking Modification. 8. Taxes.
8.1 Host Taxes. As a host, you are responsible for determining and fulfilling your obligations under applicable laws to report, collect, remit, or include in your price any applicable VAT or other indirect taxes, occupancy taxes, tourist, income, or other taxes ("Taxes").
8.2 Collection and Remittance by Tramona. In jurisdictions where Tramona facilitates the collection and/or
remittance of Taxes on behalf of Hosts, you instruct and authorize
Tramona to collect Taxes on your behalf, and/or to remit such Taxes to
the relevant Tax authority. Any Taxes that are collected
and/or
remitted by Tramona are identified to Members on their transaction
records, as applicable. Tramona may seek additional amounts from Members
(including by deducting such amounts from future payouts) in the event
that the Taxes collected and/or remitted are insufficient to fully
discharge that Members’ tax obligations and you agree that your
sole remedy for Taxes collected by Tramona is a refund from the
applicable Tax authority. You acknowledge and agree that we retain the
right, with prior notice to affected Members, to cease the collection
and remittance of Taxes in any jurisdiction for any reason.
8.3 Tax Information. In certain jurisdictions, Tax regulations may require that we collect
and/or report Tax information about you, or withhold Taxes from payouts
to you, or both. If you fail to provide us with documentation that we
determine to be sufficient to support any such obligation to withhold
Taxes from payouts to you, we may withhold payouts up to the amount as
required by law, until sufficient documentation is provided. You agree
that Tramona may issue on your behalf invoices or similar documentation
for VAT, GST, consumption or other Taxes for your Host Services to
facilitate accurate tax reporting by you, our Guests, and/or their
organizations.
General Terms
9. Reviews.
After each Host Service, Guests and Hosts will have an
opportunity to review each other. Your Review must be accurate and may
not contain any discriminatory, offensive, defamatory, or other language
that violates our Content Policy or Review Policy. Reviews are not
verified by Tramona for accuracy and may be incorrect or misleading.
10. Content.
Parts of the Tramona Platform enable you to provide feedback,
text, photos, audio, video, information, and other content
(collectively, “Content”). By providing Content, in whatever form and through whatever
means, you grant Tramona a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free,
irrevocable, perpetual, sub-licensable, and transferable license to
copy, modify, prepare derivative works of, distribute, publish, and
otherwise exploit, that Content, without limitation. If Content includes
personal information, our Privacy Policy describes how we use that
personal information. Where Tramona pays for the creation of Content or
facilitates its creation, Tramona may own that Content, in which case
supplemental terms or disclosures will say that. You are solely
responsible for all Content that you provide and warrant that you either
own it or are authorized to grant Tramona the rights described in these
Terms. You are responsible and liable if any of your Content violates or
infringes the intellectual property or privacy rights of any third
party. Content must comply with our Content Policy and Nondiscrimination
Policy, which prohibit, among other things, discriminatory, obscene,
harassing, deceptive, violent, and illegal content. You agree that
Tramona may make available services or automated tools to translate
Content and that your Content may be translated
using such services
or tools. Tramona does not guarantee the accuracy or quality of
translations and Members are responsible for confirming the accuracy of
such translations.
11. Fees.
Tramona may charge fees (and applicable Taxes) to Hosts and
Guests for the right to use the Tramona Platform. More information about
when service fees apply and how they are calculated can be found on our
Service Fee page. Except as otherwise provided on the Tramona Platform,
service fees are non-refundable. Tramona reserves the right to change
the service fees at any time and will provide Members notice of any fee
changes before they become effective. Fee changes will not affect
bookings made prior to the effective date of the fee change. If you
disagree with a fee change you may terminate this agreement at any time
pursuant to Section 13.2.

responsible for the Damage Claim, Tramona via Tramona Payments can
collect the amount of the Damage Claim from you. You agree that Tramona
may seek to recover from you under any insurance policies you maintain

claims against you. You agree to cooperate in
good faith, provide
any information Tramona requests, execute documents, and take further
reasonable action, in connection with Damage Claims, Member complaints,
claims under insurance policies, or other claims related to your
provision or use of Host Services.
16. Tramona’s Role.
We offer you the right to use a platform that enables Members
to publish, offer, search for, and book Host Services. While we work
hard to ensure our Members have great experiences using Tramona, we do
not and cannot control the conduct of Guests and Hosts. You acknowledge
that Tramona has the right, but does not have any obligation, to monitor
the use of the Tramona Platform and verify information provided by our
Members. For example, we may review, disable access to, remove, or edit
Content to: (i) operate, secure, and improve the Tramona Platform
(including for fraud prevention, risk assessment, investigation, and
customer support purposes); (ii) ensure Members’ compliance with
these Terms; (iii) comply with applicable law or the order or
requirement of a court, law enforcement or other administrative agency
or governmental body; (iv) address Content that we determine is harmful
or objectionable; (v) take actions set out in these Terms; and (vi)
maintain and enforce any quality or eligibility criteria, including by
removing Listings that don’t meet quality and eligibility
criteria. Members acknowledge and agree that Tramona administers its
Additional Legal Terms, Policies (such as our Extenuating Circumstances
Policy), and Standards (such as basic requirements for hosts), including
decisions about whether and how to apply them to a particular situation,
at its sole discretion. Members agree to cooperate with and assist
Tramona in good faith to provide Tramona with such information and take
such actions as may be reasonably requested by Tramona with respect to
any investigation undertaken by Tramona regarding the use or abuse of
the Tramona Platform. Tramona is not acting as an agent for any Member
except for where Tramona Payments acts as a collection agent as provided
in the Payments Terms.
17. Member Accounts.
You must register an account to access and use many features of
the Tramona Platform. Registration is only permitted for legal entities,
partnerships, and natural persons who are 18 years or older. You
represent and warrant that you are not a person or entity barred from
using the Tramona Platform under the laws of the United States, your
place of residence, or any other applicable jurisdiction. You must
provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
and keep your account information up-to-date. You may not register more
than one account or transfer your account to someone else. You are
responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your
account credentials and may not disclose your credentials to any third
party. You are responsible and liable for activities conducted through
your account and must immediately notify Tramona if you suspect that
your credentials have been lost, or stolen, or your account is otherwise
compromised. If and as permitted by applicable law, we may, but have no
obligation to (i) ask you to provide identification or other
information, (ii) undertake checks designed to help verify your identity
or background, (iii) screen you against third-party databases or other
sources and request reports from service providers, and (iv) obtain
reports from public records of criminal convictions or sex offender
registrations or their local equivalents.
18. Disclaimer of Warranties.
We provide the Tramona Platform and all Content “as is”
without warranty of any kind and we disclaim all warranties, whether
express or implied. For example: (i) we do not endorse or warrant the
existence, conduct, performance, safety, quality, legality or
suitability of any Guest, Host, Host Service, Listing or third party;
(ii) we do not warrant the performance or non-interruption of the
Tramona
Platform; and (iii) we do not warrant that verification, identity or
background checks conducted on Listings or Members (if any) will
identify past misconduct or prevent future misconduct. Any references to
a Member or Listing being "verified" (or similar language)
indicate only that the Member or Listing or Tramona has completed a
relevant verification or identification process and nothing else. The
disclaimers in these Terms apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.
If you have statutory rights or warranties we cannot disclaim, the
duration of any such statutorily required rights or warranties, will be
limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. 19. Limitations on
Liability.
Neither Tramona (including its affiliates and personnel) nor any other
party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Tramona
Platform or any Content will be liable for any incidental, special,
exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data
or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system
failure or the cost of substitute products or services, or for any
damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out
of or in connection with (i) these Terms, (ii) the use of or inability
to use the Tramona Platform or any Content, (iii) any communications,
interactions or meetings you may have with someone you interact or meet
with through, or as a result of, your use of the Tramona Platform, or
(iv) publishing or booking of a Listing, including the provision or use
of Host Services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including
negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or
not Tramona has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if
a limited remedy set out in these Terms is found to have failed of its
essential purpose.
Except for our obligation to transmit payments
to Hosts under these Terms, or make payments under the Tramona Host
Damage Protection or Japan Host Insurance, in no event will
Tramona’s aggregate liability for any claim or dispute arising out
of or in connection with these Terms, your interaction with any Members,
or your use of or inability to use the Tramona Platform, any Content, or
any Host Service, exceed: (A) to Guests, the amount you paid as a Guest
during the 12-month period prior to the event giving rise to the
liability, (B) to Hosts, the amount paid to you as a Host in the
12-month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability, or (C)
to anyone else, one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).
These
limitations of liability and damages are fundamental elements of the
agreement between you and Tramona. If applicable law does not allow the
limitations of liability set out in these Terms, the above limitations
may not apply to you.
20. Indemnification.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to
release, defend (at Tramona’s option), indemnify, and hold Tramona
(including Tramona Payments, other affiliates, and their personnel)
harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting
fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (i) your breach of
these Terms (including any supplemental or additional terms that apply
to a product or feature) or our Additional Legal Terms, Policies or
Standards, (ii) your improper use of the Tramona Platform, (iii) your
interaction with any Member, stay at an Accommodation, participation in
an Experience or other Host Service, including without limitation any
injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental,
consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as
a result of such interaction, stay, participation or use, (iv) your
failure, or our failure at your direction, to accurately report, collect
or
remit Taxes, or (v) your breach of any laws, regulations or
third party rights such as intellectual property or privacy rights.
21. Contracting Entities.
Based on your country of residence or establishment and what
you are doing on the Tramona Platform, Schedule 1 below sets out the
Tramona entity with whom you are contracting. If we identify through the
Tramona Platform, a Tramona entity other than the one set out on
Schedule 1 as being responsible for a product, feature, or transaction,
the Tramona entity so identified is your contracting entity with respect
to that product, feature, or transaction. If you change your country of
residence or establishment, the Tramona company you contract with (as
set out on Schedule 1) and the applicable version of the Terms of
Service will be determined by your new country of residence or
establishment, from the date on which your country of residence or
establishment changes. 22. United States Governing Law and Venue.
If you reside or have your place of establishment in the United
States, these Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of
the State of Washington and the United States of America, without regard
to conflict-of-law provisions. Judicial proceedings (other than small
claims actions) that are excluded from the arbitration agreement in
Section 23 must be brought in state or federal court in Seattle,
Washington unless we both agree to some other location. You and I both
consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in Seattle, Washington.
23. United States Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement.
23.1 Application. This Arbitration Agreement only applies to you if your country of
residence or establishment is the United States. If your country of
residence or establishment is not the United States, and you
nevertheless attempt to bring any legal claim against Tramona in the
United States, this Arbitration Agreement will apply for determination
of the threshold issue of whether this Section 23 applies to you, and
all other threshold determinations, including residency, arbitrability,
venue, and applicable law.
23.2 Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. Tramona is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute
resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part
process for individuals to whom this Section 23 applies: (1) an informal
negotiation directly with Tramona’s customer service team
(described in paragraph 23.3, below), and if necessary (2) a binding
arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”). You and Tramona each retain the right to seek resolution of
the dispute in small claims court as an alternative to arbitration.
23.3 Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and
Notification. At least 30 days prior to initiating an arbitration, you and Tramona
each agree to notify the other party of the dispute in writing and
attempt in good faith to negotiate an informal resolution. You must send
your notice of dispute to Tramona by mailing it to Tramona at info@tramona.com, or at 2314 236 AV NE Sammamish WA 98074. Tramona will send its notice
of dispute to the email address associated with your Tramona account. A
notice of dispute must include: the party’s name and preferred
contact information, a brief description of the dispute, and the relief
sought. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within the
30-day period, only then may either party commence arbitration by filing
a written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) with the AAA and providing a copy to the other party as specified in
the AAA Rules (available at www.adr.org).
23.4 Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Tramona mutually agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy
arising out of or relating to these Terms or the applicability, breach,
termination, validity, enforcement, or interpretation thereof, or any
use of the Tramona Platform, Host Services, or any Content
(collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the
“Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration
Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and Tramona
agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue. 23.5 Exceptions to
Arbitration Agreement. You and Tramona each agree that the following causes of action and/or
claims for relief are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will
be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction
(as defined by Section 22): (i) any claim or cause of action alleging
actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a
party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other
intellectual property rights; (ii) any claim or cause of action seeking
emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g.,
imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack); or
(iii) a request for the remedy of public injunctive relief; or (iv) any
individual claim of sexual assault or sexual harassment arising from
your use of the Tramona Platform or Host Services. You and Tramona agree
that the remedy of public injunctive relief will proceed after the
arbitration of all arbitrable claims, remedies, or causes of action, and
will be stayed pending the outcome of the arbitration pursuant to
section 3 of the Federal Arbitration Act.
23.6 Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate
commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act governs all substantive and
procedural interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The
arbitration will be administered by the arbitrator in accordance with
the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules
determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are
available at www.adr.org. In order to initiate arbitration, a completed written demand
(available at www.adr.org) must be filed with the AAA and provided to the other party, as
specified in the AAA rules.
23.7 Modification to AAA Rules - Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, Tramona
agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your
option: (a) in the U.S. county where you reside; (b) in Washington; (c)
via phone or video conference. If the amount in controversy is $5,000 or
less, the parties agree to proceed solely on the submission of documents
to the arbitrator.
23.8 Modification of AAA Rules - Attorney’s Fees and Costs. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall
be governed by the AAA Rules. Either party may make a request that the
arbitrator award attorneys’ fees and costs upon proving that the
other party has asserted a claim, cross-claim, or defense that is
groundless in fact or law, brought in bad faith or for the purpose of
harassment, or is otherwise frivolous, as allowed by applicable law and
the AAA Rules. 23.9 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings
and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on
the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper
jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any relief allowed by law or the
AAA Rules, but declaratory or injunctive relief may be awarded only on
an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief
warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. 23.10 Jury Trial Waiver. You and Tramona acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the
right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.
23.11 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and Tramona acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a
plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit,
class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other
representative or consolidated proceeding. Unless we agree in writing,
the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims
and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or
representative proceeding. If there is a final judicial determination
that applicable law precludes enforcement of the waiver contained in
this paragraph as to any claim, cause of action, or requested remedy,
then that claim, cause of action, or requested remedy, and only that
claim, cause of action or requested remedy, will be severed from this
agreement to arbitrate and will be brought in a court of competent
jurisdiction. In the event that a claim, cause of action, or requested
remedy is severed pursuant to this paragraph, then you and we agree that
the claims, causes of action, or requested remedies that are not subject
to arbitration will be stayed until all arbitrable claims, causes of
action and requested remedies are resolved by the arbitrator. 23.12 Severability. Except as provided in Section 23.11, in the event that any portion of
this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such
provision will be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement
will be given full force and effect.
23.13 Changes to Agreement to Arbitrate. If Tramona changes this Section 23 after the date you last accepted
these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may
reject that change by sending us written notice (including by email)
within 30 days of the date the change is effective. Rejecting a new
change, however, does not revoke or alter your prior consent to any
earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between you and Tramona (or
your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain
in effect and enforceable as to any Dispute between you and Tramona.
23.14 Survival. Except as provided in Section 23.12 and subject to Section 13.6, this
Section 23 will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue
to apply even if you stop using the Tramona Platform or terminate your
Tramona account.
24. China Governing Law and Dispute Resolution.
24.1 China Domestic Transactions. If you reside or have your place of establishment in China, and are
contracting with Tramona, these Terms and Section 24.1 are governed by
the laws of the People’s Republic of China. In this situation, any
dispute arising from or in connection with these Terms or use of the
Tramona Platform shall be submitted to the China International Economic
and Trade Arbitration Commission (“CIETAC”) for arbitration which shall be conducted in accordance with
the Commission’s arbitration rules in effect at the time of
applying for arbitration. The arbitral award is final and binding upon
both parties. The tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators. The
seat of the arbitration shall be Beijing. The language of the
arbitration shall be English. 24.2 Cross-border Transactions. If you reside or have your place of establishment in China, and are
contracting with Tramona, IncTramona , inc or any other non-China
entity, these Terms and this Section 24.2 are governed by the laws of
Singapore. In this situation, any dispute arising out of or in
connection with these Terms or use of the Tramona Platform, including
any question regarding the existence, validity or termination of these
Terms, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration
administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre
(“SIAC”) in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore
International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC Rules”) for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be
incorporated by reference in this
clause. The seat of the
arbitration shall be Singapore. The Tribunal shall consist of three (3)
arbitrators. The language of the arbitration shall be English.
24.3 Without Limitation Provisions. The above Sections 24.1 and 24.2 are expressed to be without regard
to conflict of laws provisions and shall not be construed to limit any
rights that Tramona may have to apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction for any order requiring you to perform or be prohibited
from performing certain acts and other provisional relief permitted
under the laws of Singapore, the People’s Republic of China, or
any other laws that may apply to you. 25. Brazil Governing Law and Venue. If you reside or have your place of establishment in Brazil, these
Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of Brazil, without
regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Legal proceedings that you are
able to bring against us arising from or in connection with these Terms
may only be brought in a court located in Brazil. 26. Rest of World Dispute Resolution, Venue and Forum, and Governing
Law. If you reside or have your place of establishment outside of the
United States, China, and Brazil, this Section applies to you and these
Terms will be interpreted in accordance with Irish law. The application
of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale
of Goods (CISG) is excluded. If you are acting as an individual consumer
and if mandatory statutory consumer protection regulations in your
country of residence contain provisions that are more beneficial for
you, such provisions shall apply irrespective of the choice of Irish
law. As an individual consumer, you may bring any judicial proceedings
relating to these Terms before the competent court of your place of
residence or the competent court of Tramona's place of business in
Ireland. If Tramona wishes to enforce any of its rights against you as a
consumer, we may do so only in the courts of the jurisdiction in which
you are a resident. If you are acting as a business, you agree to submit
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts.
27. Miscellaneous.
27.1 Other Terms Incorporated by Reference. Our Host Damage Protection, Japan Host Insurance Terms, Reeboking and
Refund Policy, Experiences Guest Refund Policy, Content Policy,
Nondiscrimination Policy, Extenuating Circumstances Policy, Additional
Legal Terms, Policies, Standards and other supplemental policies and
terms linked to these Terms apply to your use of the Tramona Platform,
are incorporated by reference, and form part of your agreement with
Tramona. 27.2 Interpreting these Terms. Except as they may be supplemented by additional terms, conditions,
policies, guidelines, standards, and in-product disclosures, these Terms
(including those items incorporated by reference) constitute the entire
agreement between Tramona and you pertaining to your access to or use of
the Tramona Platform and supersede any and all prior oral or written
understandings or agreements between Tramona and you. These Terms do not
and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon anyone other
than you and Tramona. If any provision of these Terms is held to be
invalid or unenforceable, except as otherwise indicated in Section 23.11
above, such provision will be struck and will not affect the validity
and enforceability of the remaining provisions. Where the word
“will” is used in these Terms it connotes an obligation with
the same meaning as “shall.”
27.3 No Waiver. Tramona’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these
Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless
acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing. Except as expressly set
forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its
remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other
remedies under these Terms or otherwise permitted under law.
27.4 Assignment. You may not assign, transfer, or delegate this agreement or your
rights and obligations hereunder without Tramona's prior written
consent. Tramona may without restriction assign, transfer or delegate
this agreement and any rights and obligations hereunder, at its sole
discretion, with 30 days’ prior notice.
27.5 Notice. Unless specified otherwise, any notices or other communications to
Members permitted or required under this agreement, will be provided
electronically and given by Tramona via email, Tramona Platform
notification, messaging service (including SMS and WeChat), or any other
contact method we enable and you provide. If a notification relates to a
booking or Listing in Japan, you agree and acknowledge that such
notifications via electronic means in lieu of a written statement
satisfy Tramona’s obligations under Article 59 (1) of the Japanese
Housing Accommodation Business Act.
27.6 Third-Party Services. The Tramona Platform may contain links to third-party websites,
applications, services, or resources (“Third-Party Services”) that are subject to different terms and privacy practices.
Tramona is not responsible or liable for any aspect of such Third-Party
Services and links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement.
27.7 Google Terms. Some translations on the Tramona Platform are powered by Google.
Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or
implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any
implied warranties for merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, and non-infringement. Some areas of the Tramona Platform
implement Google Maps/Earth mapping services, including Google Maps
API(s). Your use of Google Maps/Earth is subject to the Google
Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service.
27.8 Apple Terms. If you access or download our application from the Apple App Store,
you agree to Apple’s Licensed Application End User License
Agreement.
27.9 Tramona Platform Content. Content made available through the Tramona Platform may be protected
by copyright, trademark, and/or other laws of the United States and
other countries. You acknowledge that all intellectual property rights
for that Content are the exclusive property of Tramona and/or its
licensors and agree that you will not remove, alter, or obscure any
copyright, trademark, service mark, or other proprietary rights notices.
You may not use, copy, adapt, modify, prepare derivative works of,
distribute, license, sell, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform,
transmit, broadcast, or otherwise exploit any Content accessed through
the Tramona Platform except to the extent you are the legal owner of
that Content or as expressly permitted in these Terms. Subject to your
compliance with these Terms, Tramona grants you a limited,
non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, revocable, non-transferable license to
(i) download and use the Application on your personal device(s); and
(ii) access and view the Content made available on or through the
Tramona Platform and accessible to you, solely for your personal and
non-commercial use. 27.10
27.11 Force Majeure. Tramona shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform
resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not
limited to, acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots,
embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods,
accidents, pandemics, epidemics or disease, strikes or shortages of
transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.
27.12 Emails and SMS. You will receive administrative communications from us using the
email address or other contact information you provide for your Tramona
account. Enrollment in additional email subscription programs will not
affect the frequency of these administrative emails, though you should
expect to receive additional emails specific to the program(s) to which
you have subscribed. You may also receive promotional emails from us. No
fee is charged for these promotional emails, but third-party data rates
could apply. You can control whether you receive promotional emails
using the notification preferences in your account settings. Please note
that you will not be able to take advantage of certain promotions if you
disable certain communication settings or do not have a Tramona account.

Terms of Service for European Users
As a consumer who resides in the EEA you can access the European
Commission’s online dispute resolution platform here: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Please note that Tramona is not committed nor obliged to use an
alternative dispute resolution entity to resolve disputes with
consumers. The European Commission’s online dispute resolution
platform is not available for residents of Switzerland or the United
Kingdom.
Section 24 of these Terms contains an arbitration agreement and class
action waiver that applies to all claims brought against Tramona in the
United States. Please read them carefully. Last Updated: January 25, 2023
Thank you for using Tramona!
These Terms of Service for European Users (“Terms”) are a binding legal agreement between you and Tramona that
govern your right to use the websites, applications, and other offerings
from
Tramona (collectively, the “Tramona Platform”). When used in these Terms, “Tramona,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to the Tramona entity set out on Schedule 1 with whom
you are contracting. The Tramona Platform offers an online venue that
enables users (“Members”) to publish, offer, search for, and book services. Members who
publish and offer services are “Hosts” and Members who search for, book, or use services are
“Guests.” Hosts offer accommodations (“Accommodations”), activities, excursions, events (“Experiences”), and a variety of travel and other services (collectively,
“Host Services,” and each Host Service offering, a “Listing”). You must register an account to access and use many features
of the Tramona Platform and must keep your account information accurate.
As the provider of the Tramona Platform, Tramona does not own, control,
offer, or manage any Listings, Host Services, or tourism services.
Tramona is not a party to the contracts entered into directly between
Hosts and Guests, nor is Tramona a real estate broker, travel agency,
insurer or an organizer or retailer of travel packages under Directive
(EU) 2015/2302. Tramona is not acting as an agent in any capacity for
any Member, except as specified in the Payment Terms of Service
(“Payment Terms”). To learn more about Tramona’s role see Section 16. We
maintain other terms and policies that supplement these Terms like our
Privacy Policy, which describes our collection and use of personal data,
and our Payments Terms, which govern any payment services provided to
Members by the Tramona payment entities (collectively "Tramona Payments").
If you Host, you are responsible for understanding and
complying with all laws, rules, regulations, and contracts with third
parties that apply to your Host Services.
Guest Terms
1. Our Mission.
Our mission is to create a world where you can belong anywhere.
From cabins to castles to cooking classes, browse through millions of
Listings to find the ones that fit the way you like to travel. Learn
more about a Listing by reviewing the description and photos, the Host
profile, and past Guest reviews. If you have questions, just message the
Host.
2. Searching and Booking on Tramona.
2.1 Searching. You can search for Host Services by using criteria like the type of
Host Service, travel destination, travel dates, and number of guests.
You can also use filters to refine your search results. Search results
are based on their relevance to your search and other criteria.
Relevance considers factors like price, availability, Reviews, customer
service and cancellation history, popularity, previous trips and saved
Listings, Host requirements (e.g. minimum or maximum nights), and more.
Learn more about search results in our Help Center.
2.2 Booking. When you book a Listing, you are agreeing to pay all charges for your
booking including the Listing price, applicable fees like
Tramona’s Service Fee, offline fees, taxes, and any other items
identified during checkout (collectively, “Total Price”). When you receive the booking confirmation, a contract for
Host Services (a "Reservation") is formed directly between you and the Host. In addition to
these Terms, you will be subject to, and responsible for complying with,
all terms of the Reservation, including without limitation, the
cancellation policy and any other rules, standards,
policies, or
requirements identified in the Listing or during checkout that apply to
the Reservation. It is your responsibility to read and understand these
rules, standards, policies, and requirements prior to booking a Listing.
Be aware that some Hosts work with a co-host or as part of a team to
provide their Host Services.
2.3 Accommodation Reservations. An Accommodation Reservation is a limited license to enter, occupy,
and use the Accommodation. The Host retains the right to re-enter the
Accommodation during your stay, to the extent: (i) it is reasonably
necessary, (ii) permitted by your contract with the Host, and (iii)
consistent with applicable law. If you stay past checkout, the Host has
the right to make you leave in a manner consistent with applicable law,
including by imposing reasonable overstay penalties. You may not exceed
the maximum number of allowed Guests. 2.4 Reservations for Experiences and Other Host Services. An Experience or other Host Service Reservation entitles you to
participate in, attend, or use that Host Service. You are responsible
for confirming that you, and anyone you invite, meet minimum age,
proficiency, fitness, or other requirements. You are responsible for
informing the Host of any medical or physical conditions, or other
circumstances that may impact your ability to participate, attend, or
use the Host Service. Except where expressly authorized, you may not
allow any person to join a Host Service unless they are included as an
additional guest during the booking process.
3. Cancellations, Travel Issues, Refunds, and Booking
Modifications.
3.1 Cancellations, Travel Issues, and Refunds. In general, if you cancel a reservation, the amount refunded to you
is determined by the cancellation policy that applies to that
reservation. But, in certain situations, other policies take precedence
and determine what amount is refunded to you. If something outside your
control requires you to cancel a reservation, you may be entitled to a
partial or full refund under our Extenuating Circumstances Policy. If
the Host cancels, or you experience a Travel Issue (as defined in our
Rebooking and Refund Policy), you may be entitled to rebooking
assistance or a partial or full refund under our Rebooking and Refund
Policy. Different policies apply to certain categories of Listings; for
example, Experiences reservations are governed by the Experiences Guest
Refund Policy, and Luxe Reservations are governed by the Luxe Rebooking
and Refund Policy. See each Additional Legal Term or Policy for details
about what is covered, and what refund applies in each situation. You
may appeal a decision by Tramona by contacting our customer service.
3.2 Booking Modifications. Hosts and Guests are responsible for any booking modifications they
agree to make via the Tramona Platform or direct Tramona customer
service to make on their behalf ("Booking Modifications"), and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees or taxes
associated with any Booking Modification.
4. Your Responsibilities.
You are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also
responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you invite to join or
provide access to any Accommodation or Experience. For example, this
means: (i) you are responsible for leaving an Accommodation (and related
personal property) in the condition it was in when you arrived, (ii) you
are responsible for paying all Damage Claim amounts necessary to cover
damage that you, your guest(s), or your pet(s) cause to an
Accommodation, and (iii) you must act with integrity, treat others with
respect and comply with applicable laws at all times. If you are booking
for an additional guest who is a minor or if you bring a minor to a Host
Service, you must be legally authorized to act on behalf of the minor
and you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor.
Host
Terms
5. Hosting on Tramona.
5.1 Host. As a Host, Tramona offers you the right to use the Tramona Platform
to share your Accommodation, Experience, or other Host Services with our
vibrant community of Guests - and earn money doing it. It’s easy
to create a Listing and you are in control of how you host - set your
price, availability, and rules for each Listing.
5.2 Contracting with Guests. When you accept a booking request or receive a booking confirmation
through the Tramona Platform, you are entering into a contract directly
with the Guest, and are responsible for delivering the Host Service
under the terms and at the price specified in your Listing. You are also
agreeing to pay applicable fees like Tramona’s Service Fee (and
applicable taxes) for each booking. Tramona Payments will deduct amounts
you owe from your payout unless we and you agree to a different method.
Any terms or conditions that you include in any supplement contract with
Guests must: (i) be consistent with these Terms, our Additional Legal
Terms, Policies, and the information provided in your Listing, and (ii)
be prominently disclosed in your Listing description. 5.3 Independence of Hosts. Your relationship with Tramona is that of an independent individual
or entity and not an employee, agent, joint venturer, or partner of
Tramona, except that Tramona Payments acts as a payment collection agent
as described in the Payments Terms. Tramona does not direct or control
your Host Service and you understand that you have complete discretion
whether and when to provide Host Services and at what price and on what
terms to offer them. 6. Managing Your Listing.
6.1 Creating and Managing Your Listing. The Tramona Platform provides tools that make it easy for you to set
up and manage a Listing. Your Listing must include complete and accurate
information about your Host Service, your price, other charges like
cleaning fees, resort fees, offline fees, and any rules or requirements
that apply to your Guests or Listing. You are responsible for your acts
and omissions as well as for keeping your Listing information (including
calendar availability) and content (like photos) up-to-date and accurate
at all times. We recommend that you obtain appropriate insurance for
your Host Services and suggest you carefully review policy terms and
conditions like coverage details and exclusions. You may only maintain
one Listing per Accommodation but may have multiple Listings for a
single property if it has multiple places to stay. Any offer of an
Experience is subject to our Additional Terms for Experience Hosts. 6.2 Know Your Legal Obligations. You are responsible for understanding and complying with any laws,
rules, regulations, and contracts with third parties that apply to your
Listing or Host Services. For example: Some landlords and leases, or
homeowner and condominium association rules, restrict or prohibit
subletting, short-term rentals, and/or longer-term stays. Some cities
have zoning or other laws that restrict the short-term rental of
residential properties. Some jurisdictions require Hosts to register,
get a permit, or obtain a license before providing certain Host Services
(such as short-term rentals, longer-term stays, preparing food, serving
alcohol for sale, guiding tours, or operating a vehicle). In some
places, the Host Services you want to offer may be prohibited
altogether. Some jurisdictions require that you register Guests who stay
at your Accommodation. Some jurisdictions have laws that create tenancy
rights for Guests and additional obligations for Hosts. For example,
some places have landlord-tenant, rent control, and eviction laws that
may apply to longer stays. Check your local rules to learn what rules
apply to the Host Services you plan to offer. Information we provide
regarding legal requirements is for informational purposes only and you
should
independently confirm your obligations. You are responsible
for handling and using personal data of Guests and others in compliance
with applicable privacy laws and these Terms, including our Host Privacy
Standard. If you have questions about how local laws apply you should
always seek legal advice.
6.3 Search Ranking. The ranking of Listings in search results on the Tramona Platform
depends on a variety of factors, including these main parameters:
● Guest search parameters (e.g. number of Guests, time
and duration of the trip, price range), ● Listing characteristics
(e.g. price, calendar availability, number and quality of images,
Reviews, type of Host Service, host status, age of the Listing, average
Guest popularity), ● Guest booking experience (e.g. customer
service and cancellation history of the Host, ease of booking),
● Host requirements (e.g. minimum or maximum nights, booking
cut-off time), and ● Guest preferences (e.g. previous trips, saved
Listings, location from where the Guest is searching).
Search results may appear different on our mobile
application than they appear on our website. Tramona may allow Hosts to
promote their Listings in search or elsewhere on the Tramona Platform by
paying an additional fee. More information about the factors that
determine how your Listing appears in search results, our current
promotional programs (if any) and how we identify promoted Content can
be found in our Help Center.
6.4 Your Responsibilities. You are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also
responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you allow to
participate in providing your Host Services. You are responsible for
setting your price and establishing rules and requirements for your
Listing. You must describe any and all fees and charges in your Listing
description and may not collect any additional fees or charges outside
the Tramona Platform except those expressly authorized by our Offline
Fee Policy. Do not encourage Guests to create third-party accounts,
submit reviews, provide their contact information, or take other actions
outside the Tramona Platform in violation of our Off-Platform Policy.
6.5 Hosting as a Team or Organization. If you work with a co-host or host as part of a team, business, or
other organization, the entity and each individual who participates in
providing Host Services, is responsible and liable as a Host under these
Terms. If you accept terms or enter into contracts, you represent and
warrant that you are authorized to enter into contracts for and bind
your team, business, or other organization, and that each entity you use
is in good standing under the laws of the place where it is established.
If you perform other functions, you represent and warrant that you are
authorized to perform those functions. If you instruct Tramona to
transfer a portion of your payout to a co-host or other Hosts or send
payments to someone else, you must be authorized to do so, and are
responsible and liable for the payment amounts and accuracy of any
payout information you provide.
7. Cancellations, Travel Issues, and Booking Modifications.
7.1 Cancellations and Travel Issues. In general, if a Guest cancels a reservation, the amount paid to you
is determined by the cancellation policy that applies to that
reservation. As a host, you should not cancel on a Guest without a valid
reason under our Extenuating Circumstances Policy or applicable law. If
you cancel on a Guest without such a valid reason, we may impose a
cancellation fee and other consequences. If: (i) a Guest experiences a
Travel Issue (as defined by the Rebooking
and Refund Policy), (ii)
an Extenuating Circumstances arises, or (iii) a reservation is cancelled
under Section 13 of these Terms, the amount you are paid will be reduced
by the amount we refund or otherwise provide to the Guest, and by any
other reasonable costs we incur as a result of the cancellation. If a
Guest receives a refund after you have already been paid, or the amount
of the refund and other costs incurred by Tramona exceeds your payout,
Tramona (via Tramona Payments) may recover that amount from you,
including by offsetting the refund against your future payouts. You
agree that Tramona’s Rebooking and Refund Policy, Extenuating
Circumstances Policy, and these Terms preempt the cancellation policy
you set in situations where they allow for the cancellation of a
Reservation and/or the issuance of refunds to Guests. If we reasonably
expect to provide a refund to a Guest under one of these policies, we
may delay the release of any payout for that Reservation until a refund
decision is made. If you Host an Experience please note that the
Experience Cancellation Policy, Experiences Guest Refund Policyand
different cancellation fees and consequences apply to your Reservations.
See each policy for details about what is covered, and what your payout
will be in each situation. You may appeal a decision by Tramona by
contacting our customer service.
7.2 Booking Modifications. Hosts and Guests are responsible for any Booking Modifications they
agree to make via the Tramona Platform or direct Tramona customer
service to make on their behalf, and agree to pay any additional
amounts, fees, or taxes associated with a Booking Modification. 8. Taxes.
8.1 Host Taxes. As a Host, you are responsible for determining and fulfilling your obligations under applicable laws to report, collect, remit, or include in your price any applicable VAT or other indirect taxes, occupancy taxes, tourist, income, or other taxes ("Taxes").
8.2 Collection and Remittance by Tramona. In jurisdictions where Tramona facilitates the collection and/or
remittance of Taxes on behalf of Hosts, you instruct and authorize
Tramona to collect Taxes on your behalf, and/or to remit such Taxes to
the relevant Tax authority. Any Taxes that are collected
and/or
remitted by Tramona are identified to Members on their transaction
records, as applicable. Tramona may seek additional amounts from Members
(including by deducting such amounts from future payouts) in the event
that the Taxes collected and/or remitted are insufficient to fully
discharge that Members’ tax obligations and you agree that your
sole remedy for Taxes collected by Tramona is a refund from the
applicable Tax authority. You acknowledge and agree that we retain the
right, with prior notice to affected Members, to cease the collection
and remittance of Taxes in any jurisdiction for any reason.
8.3 Tax Information. In certain jurisdictions, Tax regulations may require that we collect
and/or report Tax information about you, withhold Taxes from payouts to
you, or both. If you fail to provide us with documentation that we
determine to be sufficient to support any such obligation to withhold
Taxes from payouts to you, we may withhold payouts up to the amount as
required by law, until sufficient documentation is provided. You agree
that Tramona may issue on your behalf invoices or similar documentation
for VAT, GST, consumption or other Taxes for your Host Services to
facilitate accurate tax reporting by our Guests and their organizations.
General Terms
9. Reviews.
After each Host Service, Guests and Hosts will have an
opportunity to review each other. Your Review must be accurate and may
not contain any discriminatory, offensive, defamatory, or other language
that violates our Content Policy or Review Policy. Reviews are not
verified by Tramona for accuracy and may be incorrect or misleading.
10. Content.
Parts of the Tramona Platform enable you to provide feedback,
text, photos, audio, video, information, and other content
(“Content”). By providing Content, in whatever form and through whatever
means, you grant Tramona a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free,
sub-licensable, and transferable license, for the term of the protection
of the rights so licensed, to access, use, store, copy, modify, prepare
derivative works of, distribute, publish, transmit, stream, broadcast,
and otherwise exploit in any manner such Content to provide and/or
promote the Tramona Platform, in any media or platform, known or unknown
to date and in particular on the Internet and social networks. If
Content includes personal information, such Content will only be used
for these purposes if such use complies with applicable data protection
laws in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Where Tramona pays for the
creation of Content or facilitates its creation, Tramona may own that
Content, in which case supplemental terms or disclosures will say that.
You are solely responsible for all Content that you provide and warrant
that you either own it or are authorized to grant Tramona the rights
described in these Terms. You are responsible and liable if any of your
Content violates or infringes the intellectual property or privacy
rights of any third party. Content must comply with our Content Policy
and Nondiscrimination Policy, which prohibit, among other things,
discriminatory, obscene, harassing, deceptive, violent, and illegal
content. You agree that Tramona may make available services or automated
tools to translate Content and that your Content may be translated using
such services or tools. Tramona does not guarantee the accuracy or
quality of translations and Members are responsible for confirming the
accuracy of such translations. 11. Fees.
Tramona may charge fees (and applicable Taxes) to Hosts and
Guests for the right to use the Tramona Platform. Any applicable fees
are disclosed to Hosts before publishing a listing and to Guests before
making a booking. More information about when service fees apply and how
they are calculated can be found on our Service Fees page. Except as
otherwise provided on the Tramona Platform, service fees are
non-refundable.

Tramona, or (ii) changes that are required by law, a legally binding
court decision, or binding order of a competent authority, your

proposed changes will constitute acceptance of the revised Terms.
15. Resolving Complaints and Damage Claims.
15.1 If a Member provides valid evidence that you, your
guest(s), or your pet(s) culpably damaged the complaining Member’s
real or personal property or real or personal property the complaining
Member is responsible for, including consequential damages,
("Damage Claim"), the complaining Member can notify Tramona
and/or seek compensation through the Resolution Center. You will be
notified of the Damage Claim and given an opportunity to respond. If you
agree to pay, you authorize Tramona via Tramona Payments to collect the
amount of the Damage Claim from you. 15.2 If the Host and Guest cannot
resolve, or a Guest fails to pay a Damage Claim, the Host may notify
Tramona through the Resolution Center under the terms of the Host Damage
Protection Terms and seek compensation. Tramona will review the Damage
Claim and ask the Host to provide any required evidence (e.g. through
appropriate documents, photos, invoices, or third-party experts) that
substantiates the Damage Claim and the Damage Claim amount. The Guest
will be given the opportunity to respond and provide any relevant
counter-evidence. If Tramona determines, under consideration of the
evidence provided, the Host Damage Protection Terms, and applicable
statutory rules on the burden of proof that the Guest is responsible for
the Damage Claim, Tramona (via Tramona Payments) will pay out the Damage
Claim to the Host. If Tramona pays out the Damage Claim to the Host,
Tramona may collect the amount of the Damage Claim from the Guest,
including by charging the guest’s Payment Method up to a maximum
amount of $500 USD. Tramona may also pursue claims for recovering Damage
Claims amounts, including amounts exceeding the maximum amount
applicable for charging the Guest’s Payment Method, against a
Guest using any remedies it may have available under applicable law,
including referral of the matter to a collections agency, and/or pursuit
of available causes of action and/or claims against a Guest. Members may
appeal a decision by Tramona by contacting our customer service. As
between Members and Tramona, the burden of proof regarding the Damage
Claim and the Damage Claim amount always lies with Tramona.
15.3
You agree to cooperate in good faith, provide any information Tramona
requests, execute documents, and take further reasonable action, in
connection with Damage Claims, Member complaints, claims under insurance
policies, or other claims related to your provision or use of Host
Services.
15.4 Any decisions made by Tramona in relation to a
Damage Claim do not affect your contractual and statutory rights. Your
right to take legal action before a court of law remains unaffected.
16. Tramona’s Role.
We offer you the right to use a platform that enables Members
to publish, offer, search for, and book Host Services. When Members make
or accept a booking, they are entering into a contract directly with
each other. Tramona is not and does not become a party to or other
participant in any contractual relationship between Members. Tramona is
not acting as an agent for any Member except for where Tramona Payments
acts as a collection agent as provided in the Payments Terms. While we
work hard to ensure our Members have great experiences using Tramona, we
do not and cannot control the conduct or performance of Guests and Hosts
and do not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or
legality of any Listings or Host Services or (ii) the truth or accuracy
of any Listing descriptions, Reviews, or other Content provided by
Members. You acknowledge that Tramona has no general obligation to
monitor the use of the Tramona Platform and verify information provided
by our Members, but has the right to review, disable access to, remove,
or edit Content to: (i) operate, secure and improve the Tramona Platform
(including for fraud prevention, risk assessment, investigation, and
customer support purposes); (ii) ensure Members’ compliance with
these Terms; (iii) comply with applicable law or the order or
requirement of a court, law enforcement or other administrative agency
or governmental body; (iv) address Member Content that we determine is
harmful or objectionable; (v) take actions set out in these Terms; and
(vi) maintain and enforce any quality or eligibility criteria, including
by removing Listings that don’t meet quality and eligibility
criteria. Where we remove or disable Content, we will notify a Member
and provide the reasons for such a measure, unless such notification
would (i) prevent or impede the detection or prevention of fraud or
other illegal activities, (ii) harm the legitimate interests of other
Members or third parties, or (iii) contravene applicable laws. You may
appeal such a decision by contacting our customer service. Members agree
to cooperate with and assist Tramona in good faith to provide Tramona
with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably
requested by Tramona with respect to any investigation undertaken by
Tramona regarding the use or abuse of the Tramona Platform.
17. Member Accounts.
You must register an account to access and use many features of
the Tramona Platform. Registration is only permitted for legal entities,
partnerships, and natural persons who are 18 years or older. You
represent and warrant that you are not a person or entity barred from
using the Tramona Platform under the laws of the United States, your
place of residence, or any other applicable jurisdiction. You must
provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
and keep your account information up-to-date. You may not register more
than one account or transfer your account to someone else. You are
responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your
account credentials and may not disclose your credentials to any third
party. You must immediately notify Tramona if you suspect that your
credentials have been lost, or stolen, or your account is otherwise
compromised. You are responsible and liable for activities conducted
through your Tramona Account, unless such activities are not authorized
by you and you are not otherwise negligent (such as failing to report
the unauthorized use or loss of your credentials). If and as permitted
by applicable law, we may, but have no obligation to (i) ask you to
provide identification or other information, (ii) undertake checks
designed to help verify your identity or background, (iii) screen you
against third-party databases or other sources and request reports from
service providers, and (iv) obtain reports from public records of
criminal convictions or sex offender registrations or their local
equivalents.
18. Disclaimer.
We do not endorse or warrant the existence, conduct, performance,
safety, quality, legality, or suitability of any Guest, Host, Host
Service, Listing, or third party and we do not warrant that
verification, identity, or background checks conducted on Members (if
any) will identify past misconduct or prevent future misconduct. Any
references to a Member being "verified" (or similar language)
indicate only that the Member or Tramona has completed a relevant
verification or identification process and nothing else. We are not
responsible for outages or disruptions of the Internet and
telecommunications infrastructure which are beyond our control and can
lead to interruptions in the availability of the Tramona Platform.
Tramona may, temporarily and under consideration of the Members’
legitimate interests (e.g. by providing prior notice), restrict the
availability of the Tramona Platform or certain features thereof, if
this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity
of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the
proper or improved functioning of the Tramona Platform.
19.
Liability.
Tramona is liable under statutory provisions for intent and
gross negligence by us, our legal representatives, directors, or other
vicarious agents. The same applies to the assumption of guarantees or
any other strict liability, or in case of a culpable injury to life,
limb, or health. For any negligent breaches of essential contractual
obligations by us, our legal representatives, directors, or other
vicarious agents Tramona’s liability is limited to the typically
occurring foreseeable damages. Essential contractual obligations are
such duties of Tramona in whose proper fulfillment you regularly trust
and must trust for the proper execution of the contract. Any additional
liability of Tramona is excluded. To the extent that Tramona's
liability is excluded or limited, this also applies with regard to the
personal liability of its legal representatives, directors, employees,
and other agents.
20. Indemnification.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to
release, defend (at Tramona’s option), indemnify, and hold Tramona
(including Tramona Payments, other affiliates, and their personnel)
harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting
fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (i) your breach of
these Terms (including any supplemental or additional terms that apply
to a product or feature) or our Additional Legal Terms, Policies, or
Standards , (ii) your improper use of the Tramona Platform, (iii) your
interaction with any Member, stay at an Accommodation, participation in
an Experience or other Host Service, including without limitation any
injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental,
consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as
a result of such interaction, stay, participation or use, (iv) your
failure, or our failure at your direction, to accurately report, collect
or remit Taxes, or (v) your breach of any laws, regulations or third
party rights such as intellectual property or privacy rights. The
indemnification obligation only applies if and to the extent that the
claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses have been adequately
caused by your culpable breach of a contractual obligation.
21.
Contracting Entities.
Based on your country of residence or establishment and what you are doing on the Tramona Platform, Schedule 1 below sets out the Tramona entity with whom you are contracting. If we identify through the Tramona Platform, a Tramona entity other than the one set out on Schedule 1 as
being responsible for a product, feature or transaction, the Tramona
entity so identified is your contracting entity with respect to that
product, feature or transaction. If you change your country of residence
or establishment to a country outside of the EEA, Switzerland or the
United Kingdom, the Tramona company you contract with and the applicable
version of the Terms of Service will be determined by your new country
of residence or establishment, from the date on which your country of
residence or establishment changes.
22. Applicable law and Jurisdiction.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with
Irish law. If you are acting as a consumer and if mandatory statutory
consumer protection regulations in your country of residence contain
provisions that are more beneficial for you, such provisions shall apply
irrespective of the choice of Irish law. As a consumer, you may bring
any judicial proceedings relating to these Terms before the competent
court of your place of residence or the competent court of Tramona's
place of business in Ireland. If Tramona wishes to enforce any of its
rights against you as a consumer, we may do so only in the courts of the
jurisdiction in which you are a resident. If you are acting as a
business, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish
courts. 23. Miscellaneous.
23.1 Other Terms Incorporated by Reference. Our Host Damage Protection, Japan Host Insurance Terms,Rebookiong and
Refund Policy,Experiences Guest Refund Policy, Content Policy,
Nondiscrimination Policy, Extentuating Circumstances Policy, Additional
Legal Terms, Policies, Standards and other supplemental policies and
terms linked to in these Terms apply to your use of the Tramona
Platform, are incorporated by reference, and form part of your agreement
with Tramona.
23.2 Interpreting these Terms. Except as they may be supplemented by additional terms, conditions,
policies, guidelines, standards, and in-product disclosures, these Terms
constitute the entire agreement between Tramona and you pertaining to
your access to or use of the Tramona Platform and supersede any and all
prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Tramona and
you. These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or
remedies upon anyone other than you and Tramona. If any provision of
these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, except as otherwise
indicated in Section 24.11 below, such provision will be struck and will
not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
23.3 No Waiver. Tramona’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these

24.1 Application. This Arbitration Agreement only applies to you if your country of
residence or establishment is the United States. If your country of
residence or establishment is not the United States, and you
nevertheless attempt to bring any legal claim against Tramona in the
United States, this Arbitration Agreement will apply for determination
of the threshold issue of whether this Section 24 applies to you, and
all other threshold determinations, including residency, arbitrability,
venue, and applicable law.
24.2 Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. Tramona is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute
resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part
process for individuals to whom this Section 24 applies: (1) an informal
negotiation directly with Tramona’s customer service team
(described in paragraph 24.3, below), and if necessary (2) a binding
arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”). You and Tramona each retain the right to seek resolution of
the dispute in small claims court as an alternative to arbitration.
24.3 Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and
Notification. At least 30 days prior to initiating an arbitration, you and Tramona
each agree to notify the other party of the dispute in writing and
attempt in good faith to negotiate an informal resolution. You must send
your notice of dispute to Tramona by mailing it to 2314 236th Av Ne
Samm. WA. Tramona will send its notice of dispute to the email address
associated with your Tramona account. A notice of dispute must include:
the party’s name and preferred contact information, a brief
description of the dispute, and the relief sought. If the parties are
unable to resolve the dispute within the 30-day period, only then may
either party commence arbitration by filing a written Demand for
Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) with the AAA and providing a copy to the other party as specified in
the AAA Rules (available at www.adr.org).
24.4 Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Tramona mutually agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy
arising out of or relating to these Terms or the applicability, breach,
termination, validity, enforcement, or interpretation thereof, or any
use of the Tramona Platform, Host Services, or any Content
(collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the
“Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration
Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and Tramona
agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue. 24.5 Exceptions to
Arbitration Agreement. You and Tramona each agree that the following causes of action and/or
claims for relief are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will
be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction
(as defined by Section 22 of the Terms of Service for Non-European
Users): (i) any claim or cause of action alleging actual or threatened
infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s
copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual
property rights; (ii) any claim or cause of action seeking emergency
injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger
or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack); or (iii) a request for
the remedy of public injunctive relief; or (iv) any individual claim of
sexual assault or sexual harassment arising from your use of the Tramona
Platform or Host Services. You and Tramona agree that the remedy of
public injunctive relief will proceed after the
arbitration of all
arbitrable claims, remedies, or causes of action, and will be stayed
pending the outcome of the arbitration pursuant to section 3 of the
Federal Arbitration Act. 24.6 Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate
commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act governs all substantive and
procedural interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The
arbitration will be administered by the arbitrator in accordance with
the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules
determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are
available at www.adr.org. In order to initiate arbitration, a completed written demand
(available at www.adr.org) must be filed with the AAA and provided to the other party, as
specified in the AAA rules.
24.7 Modification to AAA Rules - Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, Tramona
agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your
option: (a) in the U.S. county where you reside; (b) in King County; (c)
via phone or video conference. If the amount in controversy is $5,000 or
less, the parties agree to proceed solely on the submission of documents
to the arbitrator.
24.8 Modification of AAA Rules - Attorney’s Fees and Costs. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall
be governed by the AAA Rules. Either party may make a request that the
arbitrator award attorneys’ fees and costs upon proving that the
other party has asserted a claim, cross-claim, or defense that is
groundless in fact or law, brought in bad faith or for the purpose of
harassment, or is otherwise frivolous, as allowed by applicable law and
the AAA Rules. 24.9 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings
and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on
the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper
jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any relief allowed by law or the
AAA Rules, but declaratory or injunctive relief may be awarded only on
an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief
warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. 24.10 Jury Trial Waiver. You and Tramona acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the
right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.
24.11 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and Tramona acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a
plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit,
class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other
representative or consolidated proceeding. Unless we agree in writing,
the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims
and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or
representative proceeding. If there is a final judicial determination
that applicable law precludes enforcement of the waiver contained in
this paragraph as to any claim, cause of action, or requested remedy,
then that claim, cause of action or requested remedy, and only that
claim, cause of action or requested remedy, will be severed from this
agreement to arbitrate and will be brought in a court of competent
jurisdiction. In the event that a claim, cause of action, or requested
remedy is severed pursuant to this paragraph, then you and we agree that
the claims, causes of action, or requested remedies that are not subject
to arbitration will be stayed until all arbitrable claims, causes of
action and requested remedies are resolved by the arbitrator. 24.12 Severability. Except as provided in Section 24.11, in the event that any portion of
this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such
provision will be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement
will be given full force and effect.
24.13 Changes to Agreement to Arbitrate. If Tramona changes this Section 24 after the date you last accepted
these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may
reject that change by sending us written notice (including by email)
within 30 days of the date the change is effective. Rejecting a new
change, however, does not revoke or alter your prior consent to any
earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between you and Tramona (or
your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain
in effect and enforceable as to any Dispute between you and Tramona.
24.14 Survival. Except as provided in Section 24.12, and subject to Section 13.6 of
the Terms of Service for Non-European Users this Section 24 will survive
any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you
stop using the Tramona Platform or terminate your Tramona Account.
