Account Registration

In order to access certain features of the Site and Application, and to book an Activity or create a Listing, you must register to create an account ("Shaka Account") and become a Member. You may register to join the Services directly via the Site or Application or as described in this section.

You can also register to join by logging into your account with certain third-party social networking sites ("SNS") (including, but not limited to, Facebook; each such account, a "Third-Party Account"), via our Site or Application, as described below. As part of the functionality of the Site, Application and Services, you may link your Shaka Account with Third-Party Accounts, by either: (i) providing your Third-Party Account login information to Shaka through the Site, Services or Application; or (ii) allowing Shaka to access your Third-Party Account, as permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third-Party Account. You represent that you are entitled to disclose your Third-Party Account login information to Shaka and/or grant Shaka access to your Third-Party Account (including, but not limited to, for use for the purposes described herein), without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable Third-Party Account and without obligating Shaka to pay any fees or making Shaka subject to any usage limitations imposed by such third-party service providers. By granting Shaka access to any Third-Party Accounts, you understand that Shaka will access, make available and store (if applicable) any Content that you have provided to and stored in your Third-Party Account ("SNS Content") so that it is available on and through the Site, Services and Application via your Shaka Account and Shaka Account profile page. Unless otherwise specified in these Terms, all SNS Content, if any, will be considered to be Member Content for all purposes of these Terms. Depending on the Third-Party Accounts you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third-Party Accounts, personally identifiable information that you post to your Third-Party Accounts will be available on and through your Shaka Account on the Site, Services and Application. Please note that if a Third-Party Account or associated service becomes unavailable or Shaka's access to such Third-Party Account is terminated by the third-party service provider, then SNS Content will no longer be available on and through the Site, Services and Application. You have the ability to disable the connection between your Shaka Account and your Third-Party Accounts, at any time, by accessing the "Settings" section of the Site and Application. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS. Shaka makes no effort to review any SNS Content for any purpose, including but not limited to for accuracy, legality or non-infringement and Shaka is not responsible for any SNS Content.

Your Shaka Account and your Shaka Account profile page will be created for your use of the Site and Application based upon the personal information you provide to us or that we obtain via an SNS as described above. You may not have more than one (1) active Shaka Account. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current and complete. Shaka reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Shaka Account and your access to the Site, Application and Services if you create more than one (1) Shaka Account, or if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, fraudulent, not current or incomplete. You are responsible for safeguarding your password. You agree that you will not disclose your password to any third party and that you will take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your Shaka Account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. You will immediately notify Shaka of any unauthorized use of your Shaka Account.

Activities Listings

As a Member, you may create Listings. To create a Listing, you will be asked a variety of questions about the Activities to be listed, including, but not limited to, the location, type, available equipment, certificate and qualifications of the Provider and pricing and related rules and financial terms. Listings will be made publicly available via the Site, Application and Services. Other Members will be able to book your Activities via the Site, Application and Services based upon the information provided in your Listing. You understand and agree that once an Enjoyer requests a booking of your Activities, you may not request the Enjoyer to pay a higher price than in the booking request.

You acknowledge and agree that you alone are responsible for any and all Listings and Member Content you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Listing you post and the booking of, or an Enjoyer's use of Activities in a Listing you post (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, such as your employer, customers, or similar party and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws, Tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Activities included in a Listing you post (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties. Please note that Shaka assumes no responsibility for an Enjoyer's compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations. Shaka reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Listing for any reason, including Listings that Shaka, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms or Shaka's then-current Policies and Community Guidelines, or otherwise harmful to the Site, Application or Services.

If you are a Provider, you understand and agree that Shaka does not act as an insurer or as your contracting agent. If an Enjoyer requests a booking of your Activities and uses them, any agreement you enter into with such Enjoyer is between you and the Enjoyer and Shaka is not a party to it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shaka either serves or uses an appointed third party as the limited authorized payment collection agent of the Provider for the purpose of accepting, on behalf of the Provider, payments from Enjoyers of such amounts stipulated by the Provider (including applicable fees and/or Taxes).

When you create a Listing, you may also choose to include certain requirements which must be met by the Members who are eligible to request a booking of your Activities, such as requiring Members to have a profile name, surname, picture or verified e-mail or phone number, in order to book your Activities. Any Member wishing to book Activities included in Listings with such requirements must meet these requirements. More information on how to set such requirements is available via the "Provider" section of the Site, Application and Services.

If you are a Provider, Shaka makes certain tools available to you to help you to make informed decisions about which Members you choose to confirm or preapprove for booking for your Activities. You acknowledge and agree that, as a Provider, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals who provides or are otherwise present at the time of provision of Activities at your request

Shaka requires that Providers to obtain appropriate insurance for their Activities and provides written confirmation to Shaka that such insurance remains in force. Please review any insurance policy that you may have for your Activities carefully, and in particular please make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of Enjoyers. Shaka does not assess the suitability of Enjoyers for activities that they may wish to participate in. It is the responsibility of Providers to assess the suitability of Enjoyers for any such activities and Shaka shall have no responsibility to any Providers in respect of any claim that may be made by Enjoyers or third parties against Providers in respect of any matter arising out of the relationship between Enjoyers and Providers. Providers agree to indemnify and keep indemnified Shaka against any liability of any nature that Shaka may incur from any action brought by Enjoyers or third parties arising out of the relationship between Enjoyers and Providers.

No Endorsement

Shaka does not endorse any Member or any Activities. Members are required by these Terms to provide accurate information, and although Shaka may undertake additional checks and processes designed to help verify or check the identities, ages or backgrounds of users, we do not make any representations about, confirm, or endorse any Member or the Member's purported identity, age or background.

Any references in the Site, Application or Services to a Member being "verified" or "connected" (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification process, and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by Shaka about any Member, including of the Member's identity and whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. Instead, any such description is intended to be useful information for you to evaluate when you make your own decisions about the identity and suitability of others whom you contact or interact with via the Site, Application and Services. We therefore recommend that you always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to stay with a Provider or to accept a booking request from an Enjoyer, or to have any other interaction with any other Member.

By using the Site, Application or Services, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other Members or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Members or other third parties who caused you harm. You agree not to attempt to impose liability on or seek any legal remedy from Shaka with respect to such actions or omissions. Accordingly, we encourage you to communicate directly with other Members on the Site and Services regarding any bookings or Listings made by you. This limitation shall not apply to any claim by a Provider against Shaka regarding the remittance of payments received from an Enjoyer by Shaka on behalf of a Provider, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled "Limitation of Liability".

Bookings and Financial Terms

Key definitions

"Activities Fees" means the amounts that are due and payable by an Enjoyer in exchange for that Enjoyer's receipt of Activities. The Provider alone, and not Shaka, is responsible for the Activities Fees for his or her Listing. The Provider may in his or her sole discretion decide to include in these amounts (i) a service fee or any other fee permitted on the Shaka platform, or (ii) Taxes that the Provider determines that he or she has to collect.

"Enjoyer Fees" means the fee that Shaka charges an Enjoyer for the use of the Services, which is calculated as a percentage of the applicable Activities Fees. The Enjoyer Fees will be displayed to the Enjoyer when the Enjoyer is asked whether to send a booking request to a Provider.

"Provider Fees" means the fee that Shaka charges a Provider for the use of the Services, which is calculated as a percentage of the applicable Activities Fees. The Provider Fees will be displayed to the Provider when the Provider is asked whether to confirm or reject a booking request from a prospective Enjoyer.

"Service Fees" means collectively the Enjoyer Fees and the Provider Fees.

"Total Fees" means collectively the Activities Fees and the Enjoyer Fees plus any Taxes.

Bookings and Financial Terms for Providers and Enjoyers

If you are a Provider and a booking is requested for your Activities via the Site, Application or Services, you will be required to either confirm or reject the booking request within the Booking Request Period, otherwise the booking request will automatically expire. When a booking is requested via the Site, Application or Services, we will share with you (i) the first and last name of the Enjoyer who has requested the booking, (ii) a link to the Enjoyer's Shaka Account profile page, (iii) if the Enjoyer and Provider have both connected their Shaka accounts to SNS, the names of any members of an SNS with whom you are "friends" or associated on the SNS if such individuals are also "friends" or associated with the Enjoyer on such SNS, and (iv) an indication of whether or not the Enjoyer has provided other information to Shaka, such as a verified email address, connection to SNSs, or a government ID. If you are unable to confirm or decide to reject a booking request within the Booking Request Period, any amounts collected by Shaka for the requested booking will be refunded to the applicable Enjoyer's credit card and any pre-authorization of such credit card will be released. When you confirm a booking requested by an Enjoyer, Shaka will send you an email, text message or message via the Application confirming such booking, depending on the selections you make via the Site, Application and Services.

Shaka will collect the Total Fees at the time of booking confirmation (i.e. when the Provider confirms the booking request) and will initiate payment of the Activities Fees (less Shaka's Provider Fees and any Taxes in respect of the Provider Fees, such as VAT in Europe) to the Provider within 24 hours of when the Enjoyer arrives at the applicable Activities (except to the extent that a refund is due to the Enjoyer). The time it takes for the Provider to receive payouts may depend upon the payout method chosen by the Provider. Some methods involve the use of third-party payment processors, who may impose their own additional charges for the use of their services on the Provider, including by deducting their charges from the payout amount.

If you owe or agree to pay any amount via Shaka to Shaka (whether as a result of your bookings or actions as an Enjoyer or otherwise), then Shaka may (but is not obliged to) withhold the amount owing to Shaka from any payout amounts due to you as a Provider, and use the withheld amount to setoff the amount owed by you to Shaka. If Shaka does so, then your obligation to pay Shaka will be extinguished to the extent of the amount withheld by Shaka, and Shaka will cease to owe to you any obligations (including, but not limited to, any obligation to pay you) with respect to the amount withheld. In addition to the amount due, if your account is delinquent or you otherwise have chargebacks on your account, you may be charged fees that are incidental to our collection of these delinquent amounts and chargebacks. Such fees or charges may include collection fees, convenience fees, or other third party charges. You hereby explicitly agree that all communication in relation to delinquent accounts will be made by electronic mail or electronic messaging systems, as provided to Shaka by you. Such communication may be made by Shaka or by anyone on its behalf, including but not limited to a third party collection agent.

Appointment of Shaka as Limited Payment Collection Agent for Provider

Each Provider hereby appoints Shaka as the Provider's limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting the Activities Fees from Enjoyers.

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

Please note that Shaka does not currently charge fees for the creation of Listings. However, you as a Provider acknowledge and agree that Shaka reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to charge you for and collect fees from you for the creation of Listings. Please note that Shaka will provide notice of any Listing fee collection via the Site, Application and Services, prior to implementing such a Listing fee feature.

Bookings and Financial Terms for Enjoyers

The Providers, not Shaka, are solely responsible for honouring any confirmed bookings and making available any Activities reserved through the Site, Application and Services. If you, as an Enjoyer, choose to enter into a transaction with a Provider for the booking of Activities, you agree and understand that you will be required to enter into an agreement with the Provider and you agree to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with such Activities imposed by the Provider. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not Shaka, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any such agreements, that Shaka is not a party to such agreements, and that, with the exception of its payment obligations hereunder, Shaka disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements. You acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the fact that Shaka is not a party to the agreement between you and the Provider, Shaka acts as the Provider's payment collection agent for the limited purpose of accepting payments from you on behalf of the Provider. Upon your payment of the Total Fees to Shaka, your payment obligation to the Provider for the Activities Fees is extinguished, and Shaka is responsible for remitting the Activities Fees (less the Provider Fees and any Taxes in respect of the Provider Fees, such as VAT in Europe), in the manner described in these Terms. In the event that Shaka does not remit any such amounts as described in these Terms, such Provider will have recourse only against such Shaka entity.

The Total Fees payable will be displayed to an Enjoyer before the Enjoyer sends a booking request to a Provider. As noted above, the Provider is required to either confirm or reject the booking request within the Booking Request Period; otherwise, the requested booking will be automatically cancelled. If a requested booking is cancelled (i.e. not confirmed by the applicable Provider), any amounts collected by Shaka will be refunded to such Enjoyer, depending on the selections the Enjoyer makes via the Site and Application, and any pre-authorization of such Enjoyer's credit card will be released, if applicable.

You as an Enjoyer agree to pay Shaka for the Total Fees for any booking requested in connection with your Shaka Account if such requested bookings are confirmed by the applicable Provider. In order to establish a booking pending the applicable Provider's confirmation of your requested booking, you understand and agree that Shaka, on behalf of the Provider, reserve the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) obtain a pre-authorization via your credit card for the Total Fees or (ii) charge your credit card a nominal amount, not to exceed one dollar ($1), or a similar sum in the currency in which you are transacting (e.g. one euro or one British pound), to verify your credit card. As a general rule, Shaka will collect the Total Fees due once Shaka receives confirmation of your booking from the applicable Provider; if necessary, Total Fees may instead be collected at a later point. Please note that Shaka cannot control any fees that may be charged to an Enjoyer by his or her bank related to Shaka's collection of the Total Fees, and Shaka disclaims all liability in this regard.

In connection with your requested booking, you will be asked to provide customary billing information such as name, billing address and credit card information either to Shaka or its third-party payment processor(s). You agree to pay Shaka for any confirmed bookings made in connection with your Shaka Account in accordance with these Terms by one of the methods described on the Site or Application, e.g. by PayPal or credit card. You hereby authorize the collection of such amounts by charging the credit card provided as part of requesting the booking, either directly by Shaka or indirectly, via a third-party online payment processor or by one of the payment methods described on the Site or Application. You also authorize Shaka to charge your credit card in the event of damage caused at an Activities as contemplated under "Damage to Activities" below and for Security Deposits, if applicable. If you are directed to Shaka's third-party payment processor(s), you may be subject to terms and conditions governing use of that third party's service and that third party's personal information collection practices. Please review such terms and conditions and privacy policy before using the services. Once your confirmed booking transaction is complete you will receive a confirmation email summarizing your confirmed booking.

Service Fees

In consideration for the use of Shaka's online marketplace and platform, Shaka charges the Service Fees. Where applicable, Taxes (such as VAT in Europe) may also be charged in respect of the Provider Fees and Enjoyer Fees. Shaka deducts the Provider Fees from the Activities Fees before remitting the balance to the Provider as described in these Terms. Enjoyer Fees are, as noted above, included in the Total Fees.

Balances will be remitted by Shaka to Providers in its sole discretion via check, PayPal, direct deposit or other payment methods, as described on the Site or via the Application, in the Provider's currency of choice, depending upon the selections Shaka makes for each Provider via the Site, Application and Services. Shaka in its sole discretion may change the payment methods available on the website. Amounts may be rounded up or down as described the "Rounding Off" section below.

Please note that Shaka, may impose or deduct foreign currency processing costs on or from any payments or payouts by Shaka in currencies other than UK sterling. More information on any such costs or deductions will be available via the Site and Application. More information on Services Fees can be found at www.ridewithlocal.com/help. Except as otherwise provided herein, Service Fees are non-refundable.

General Booking and Financial Terms

Cancellations and Refunds

If, as an Enjoyer, you cancel your requested booking before the requested booking is confirmed by a Provider, Shaka will cancel any pre-authorization to your credit card and/or refund any nominal amounts charged to your credit card in connection with the requested booking within a commercially reasonable time. If, as an Enjoyer, you wish to cancel a confirmed booking made via the Site, Application and Services, either prior to or after arriving at the Activities, the cancellation policy of the Provider contained in the applicable Listing will apply to such cancellation. Our ability to refund the Activities Fees and other amounts charged to you will depend upon the terms of the applicable cancellation policy. Details regarding refunds and cancellation policies are available via the Site and Application. The Enjoyer Fee is non-refundable regardless of the cancellation policy selected by the Provider.

If a Provider cancels a confirmed booking made via the Site, Services, and Application, (i) Shaka will refund the Total Fees for such booking to the applicable Enjoyer within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation and (ii) the Enjoyer will receive an email or other communication from Shaka containing alternative Listings and other related information. If the Enjoyer requests a booking from one of the alternative Listings and the Provider associated with such alternative Listing confirms the Enjoyer's requested booking, then the Enjoyer agrees to pay Shaka the Total Fees relating to the confirmed booking for the Activities in the alternative Listing, in accordance with these Terms. If a Provider cancelled a confirmed booking and you, as an Enjoyer, have not received an email or other communication from Shaka, please contact Shaka.

If, as a Provider, you cancel a confirmed booking, you agree that Shaka may apply penalties or consequences to you or your Listing, including (i) publishing an automated review on your Listing indicating that a reservation was cancelled, (ii) keeping the calendar for your Listing unavailable or blocked for the dates of the cancelled booking, or (iii) imposing a cancellation fe e (to be withheld from your future payouts or charged to the credit card on file in your Shaka Account). You will be notified of the situations in which a cancellation fee applies before you decide to cancel.

In certain circumstances, Shaka may decide, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary or desirable to cancel a confirmed booking made via the Site, Application and Services. Shaka may also determine, in its sole discretion, to refund to the Enjoyer part or all of the amounts charged to the Enjoyer in accordance with the Enjoyer Refund Policy. You agree that Shaka and the relevant Enjoyer or Provider will not have any liability for such cancellations or refunds.

If, as a Provider, your Enjoyer cancels a confirmed booking or Shaka decides that it is necessary to cancel a confirmed booking, and Shaka issues a refund to the Enjoyer in accordance with the Enjoyer Refund Policy or other applicable cancellation policies, you agree that in the event you have already been paid Shaka shall be entitled to recover the amount of any such Enjoyer refund from you, including by subtracting such refund amount out from any future Activities Fees due to you.

Recurring Payments

In some instances, Enjoyers may be required to make recurring, incremental payments toward the Total Fees owed for a confirmed booking before beginning his or her applicable Activities (collectively, "Recurring Payments"). More information on Recurring Payments will be made available via the Site, Application and Services, if applicable. If Recurring Payments apply to a confirmed booking, then the Enjoyer authorizes Shaka, on behalf of the Provider, to collect the Total Fees and the Provider agrees that such Shaka entity will initiate payouts to the Provider, in the increments and at the frequency associated with the applicable Recurring Payments, each as identified on the Site, Application and Services.

Rounding Off

Shaka may, in its sole discretion, round up or round down amounts that are payable from or to Enjoyers or Providers to the nearest whole functional base unit in which the currency is denominated (e.g. to the nearest dollar, euro or other supported currency); for example, Shaka will round up an amount of £101.50 to £102.00, and £101.49 to £101.00.

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

Payment Processing Errors

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

Donations

Some Providers may pledge to donate a portion of the funds they receive from confirmed bookings made via the Site, Application and Services to a particular cause or charity. We do not take any responsibility or liability for whether the Provider does in fact make the donation he or she pledged to make. In such cases, the Provider in question is responsible for his or her own compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to such pledges and/or fund-raising.

Taxes

Tax regulations may require us to collect appropriate tax information from our Providers, or to withhold taxes from payouts to Providers, or both and your use of the Site is subject to your acceptance of us taking this approach, as required.

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

Where applicable, or based upon request from a Provider, Shaka may issue a valid VAT invoice to such Provider.

You understand and acknowledge that appropriate governmental agencies, departments or authorities (the "Tax Authority") where your Activities are located may require Taxes to be collected from Enjoyers or Providers and to be remitted to the respective Tax Authority. The laws in jurisdictions may vary, but these taxes may be required to be collected and remitted as a percentage of the Activities Fees set by Providers.

Foreign Currency

Shaka's online platform facilitates bookings between Enjoyers and Providers who may prefer to pay and to receive payments in different currencies, which may require foreign currency conversions to accommodate these differing currency preferences. Although the Shaka platform allows users to view the price of Listings in a number of currencies, the currencies available for users to make and receive payments may be limited, and may not include the default currency in any given geographic location.

Each foreign currency conversion is processed at a foreign currency conversion rate. This rate generally refers to the amount of one currency that must be paid to buy a certain amount of another currency at a given time. For example, if it costs £75 to buy €100.00, the currency conversion rate of GBP to Euros would be 1.33, and the currency conversion rate from Euros to US dollars would be 0.8. Currency conversion rates will vary from time to time.

Key definitions

"Display Currency" means the currency in which users view Listing prices on the Shaka platform. Enjoyers may choose and change the Display Currency in order to view the pricing for a Listing in a number of different supported currencies.

"Booking Currency" means the currency in which an Enjoyer has to pay for his or her booking. At the time the Enjoyer submits a booking request, the Shaka platform will select the Booking Currency, based on the Enjoyer's country of origin and the payment methods available for that country. Shaka supports only a certain number of currencies as Booking Currencies. The Booking Currency for a booking may be different from the relevant Listing Currency.

"Listing Currency" means the currency in which a Listing's price is set. The Listing Currency is set by the Provider.

"Payout Currency" means the currency in which a Provider's payout will be paid to the Provider. The Payout Currency is set by the Provider.

"Base Exchange Rate" means a system-wide rate used by Shaka for foreign currency conversion that is in effect at the time the foreign currency conversion is processed, and does not include any fee or mark-up by Shaka. Shaka establishes the Base Exchange Rate using data from one or more third parties such as OANDA (http://www.oanda.com).

"Adjusted Exchange Rate" means a rate for foreign currency conversion that is calculated by adding a mark-up to the Base Exchange Rate. This mark-up represents a charge imposed by Shaka for its holding costs and foreign currency risks.

Foreign currency conversions on the Shaka platform

Shaka will process a foreign currency conversion in the following situations:

The Display Currency is different from the Listing Currency when a user views a Listing: Shaka will calculate the estimated Total Fees in the Display Currency, by applying either the Base Exchange Rate or the Adjusted Exchange Rate at the time of the view to the estimated Total Fees in the Listing Currency. The Adjusted Exchange Rate will be applied if the Display Currency is a supported Booking Currency, and it is different from the Listing Currency. Otherwise, the Base Exchange Rate will be applied.
The Booking Currency is different from the Listing Currency when an Enjoyer submits a booking request for a Listing: Shaka will calculate the Total Fees in the Booking Currency, by applying either the Base Exchange Rate or the Adjusted Exchange Rate at the time of the booking request to the Total Fees in the Listing Currency. The Enjoyer will be able to view the actual exchange rate applied. The Enjoyer Fee, which is a percentage of the applicable Activities Fees, will be calculated based on the Activities Fees in the Booking Currency (i.e. after conversion from the Listing Currency). The Adjusted Exchange Rate will be applied if the Display Currency is the same as the Booking Currency, and it is different from the Listing Currency for the Listing. Otherwise, the Base Exchange Rate will be applied.
The Payout Currency is different from the Listing Currency when Shaka initiates a payout: generally, Shaka will calculate the payout to the Provider, by applying the Base Exchange Rate on the date that Shaka initiates the payout to the Activities Fees (less Shaka's Provider Fees and any Taxes in respect of the Provider Fees, such as VAT in Europe) in the Listing Currency. The Provider will be able to view the actual exchange rate applied in his or her transaction history in the Site or Application. In some cases where the payout method selected by the Provider involves certain third-party payment processors (such as Western Union), (i) Shaka will send the payout amount to the processor in a major currency (e.g. US dollars), by applying the relevant Base Exchange Rate for the Listing Currency to that major currency, (ii) the Provider will be able to view the payout amount sent by Shaka in that major currency in his or her transaction history in the Site or Application, and (iii) the processor will calculate the actual payout to the Provider by applying its own foreign currency conversion rate for that major currency to the Payout Currency.
When a confirmed booking is modified or cancelled, and there had been a foreign currency conversion when the booking was submitted: the foreign currency conversion for any additional payments required of the Enjoyer or any refund to the Enjoyer will be processed at the same rate as applied to the earlier payment by the Enjoyer.

When you as an Enjoyer submit a booking request for a Listing, you will be able to view the actual exchange rate used to calculate the Total Fees in the Booking Currency. Where the Adjusted Exchange Rate is applied, you will be able to view the mark-up included in the rate. The actual exchange rate (and any mark-up included in the rate) will also be stated in the billing receipt for your booking.

Shaka updates the Base Exchange Rate on a regular basis, but not on a real-time basis. In particular, Shaka does not always change the Base Exchange Rate immediately when its costs of foreign exchange change. Accordingly, the Base Exchange Rate may not be identical to the applicable market rate in effect at the specific time a foreign currency conversion is processed.

Please note that your payment company (for example, your credit or bank card issuer) will use a currency conversion rate for and may impose a currency conversion fee on your payment or payout, if your card or bank account is denominated in a currency that is different from the Booking Currency or the Payout Currency respectively. Similarly, third-party payment processors may also use a currency conversion rate for or impose a currency conversion fee on your payment or payout. All of these currency conversion rates and fees are not controlled by or known to Shaka.

General

The failure of Shaka to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Shaka. 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. If for any reason an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

Third party beneficiary

These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the payment card networks are third party beneficiaries of these Terms for purposes of enforcing provisions related to payments, but that their consent or agreement is not necessary for any changes or modifications to these Terms.
