Services Description:
The Services are designed as a platform to connect individuals (“Visitors”) seeking transformational experiences (“Experiences”) with hosts around the world (“Hosts”), to permit Visitors to book Experiences directly with Hosts, and to permit Visitors to book and receive provide custom advice and planning regarding a potential Experience (“Matching Services”).

You acknowledge and agree that NuMundo is not a party to any Experience transaction made through the Services.

We do not, and cannot, verify with certain that the information provided by a Host or Visitor is accurate and complete (including pricing information or availability), and we hereby disclaim all liability in this regard. Visitors may be subject to additional terms, conditions, and policies of a Host in connection with their Experience.
Redeeming an Experience; Compliance with Local Law:All Experiences are redeemable solely for the applicable goods or services of the relevant Host as described in the Services. Visitors agree and acknowledge that the Host, not NuMundo, is the provider of the Experience and the goods and services and is solely responsible for redeeming any Experience which you have booked through the Services.

By booking an Experience, Visitor expressly consents to NuMundo’s sharing of your information with the relevant Host. To the extent a Host receives any Visitor’s Personal Data (as such term is defined in NuMundo’s Privacy Policy [hyperlink to Privacy Policy]) through the Services and such Personal Data is not otherwise available to Host through other valid means, Hosts acknowledge and agree that they may not use or share such Personal Data with third parties except for the limited purpose of booking such Experience and to fulfill the Host’s obligations with respect to an Experience.

Visitors and Hosts (as applicable) agree to the following terms as a condition of accessing and using the Services:
Visitor Fees:When Visitors use the Services to book an Experience or Matching Services, you agree pay the fees set forth in the Services for the applicable Experience or Matching Services when due. You may be required to provide NuMundo information regarding your credit card or other payment instrument in order to proceed with the booking. In doing so, you represent and warrant that such information is true and accurate and that you are authorized to use that payment instrument. You further agree to promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur.
Visitors acknowledge that NuMundo may retain a portion of the fees payable for the Experience (the “Deposit”), as agreed to directly between NuMundo and the relevant Host. Depending on the Experience booked, a Visitor may be required to pay for the entire Experience up front (collectively, “Prepaid Experiences”). In other cases, Visitors be required to pay only the Deposit through the Services, with the balance payable directly to the applicable Host upon the Visitor’s arrival, in the amount and currency described in the Services (collectively, “Full Payment on Arrival Experiences”). If you book a Full Payment on Arrival Experience, you agree that you are responsible for paying the quoted balance to your Host, and that your Host reserves the right to cancel or void your Experience for non-payment, in which case, you acknowledge and agree that NuMundo shall have no liability on your account for such voided or canceled Experience or any payment therefor.
Listing of Experiences:NuMundo values your use of the NuMundo Services as a Host to make your Experiences available to our network of Visitors, and aims to provide the best and most comprehensive experience-booking services. To that end, Hosts agree, warrant and represent that they will use best efforts (i) to represent each Experience accurately and completely, and (ii) to offer Experiences at prices no higher than generally advertised or offered on other platforms, services, or media (including those owned or controlled by Host).
Acceptance of Experience Bookings:Experiences booked through the Services are tentative and not binding unless and until the Host accepts (“Accept,” “Acceptance”) the booking. Hosts agree to review Experience bookings and to Accept (or expressly reject) each booking promptly, and in no event more than fourteen (14) days after the initial booking request. Experience bookings that are not Accepted within fourteen (14) days will be deemed void and of no further effect. Visitors acknowledge and agree that Hosts have sole discretion in whether or not to Accept any booking.
Cancellations and Adjustments; Refunds:Visitors may cancel an Experience through the Services at any time, for any reason, subject to the refund policy set forth herein. Prior to Acceptance, Visitors may make adjustments to the booking (including, for example, the date(s) of the Experience), and by doing so, Visitors agree that the original booking will be deemed canceled, and the adjusted booking will be considered for Acceptance.
Refunds will be provided for Visitor cancellation as follows. For Prepaid Experiences, Visitors will receive a refund of the Experience Fee (less the Deposit), if a Visitor cancels such Experience prior to Acceptance. Refunds for Prepaid Experiences canceled after Acceptance are subject to the discretion of the Host and NuMundo. NuMundo will endeavor to refund any amounts due to you within thirty (30) days of cancellation.
Fees are non-refundable except as set forth herein or in the Services. If you dispute any charges, you must let NuMundo know within sixty (60) days after the date that we charge you. If NuMundo terminates your account and use of the Service because you have breached these Terms of Use, you shall not be entitled to the refund of any unused portion of fees or payments (if any). Fees for Matching Services are final and non-refundable.
Host Payment:If you are a Host, NuMundo will endeavor to remit to you the fees described in the Services applicable to an Experience, less NuMundo’s Deposit fee (as agreed by NuMundo and Host, and further described on the Site and in the Services), within five (5) days of Host’s Acceptance of the Experience booking , subject to certain minimum wire transfer requirements described more fully below. Such fees will be paid to Host in accordance with the payment information provided by the Host to NuMundo through the Services, and Host is solely responsible for ensuring such information remains accurate and up to date. Host will be responsible for all taxes in connection with the Experiences (excluding taxes based on NuMundo’s net income). If Host disputes any payments, Host must let NuMundo know within sixty (60) days after the date that NuMundo pays you. NuMundo aims to provide the best and most comprehensive experience-booking services, and values your use of the NuMundo to make your Experiences available to our network of users.

By using the Services to process payment by credit card, you agree to Stripe’s checkout terms, available at https://stripe.com/us/checkout/terms , as may be updated from time to time by Stripe. In situations where Stripe does not support payment in the Host’s location or applicable currency, NuMundo may use a third party wire transfer service to remit payment to the Host in accordance with these Terms of Service. NuMundo will not initiate wire transfer to a Host unless and until Host’s account with NuMundo is credited with $2000 USD or more. Hosts may request wire transfer to be initiated for less than $2000 USD (but at least $10), provided that the fee(s) payable with respect to such wire transfer (approx $30) shall be deducted from Host’s account, or, if no funds remain in Host’s account as a result of the wire transfer, from the amount to be wired to Host.

This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in this Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and NuMundo, whether arising out of or relating to this Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this Terms of Service, you and NuMundo are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized ReliefYOU AND NUMUNDO AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND NUMUNDO AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).
Pre-Arbitration Dispute ResolutionNuMundo is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at contact@numundo.org . If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to NuMundo should be sent to contact@numundo.org . The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If NuMundo and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or NuMundo may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by NuMundo or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or NuMundo is entitled.
Arbitration ProceduresArbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Unless NuMundo and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, NuMundo agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
Costs of ArbitrationPayment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. If the value of the relief sought is $75,000 or less, at your request, NuMundo will pay all Arbitration Fees. If the value of relief sought is more than $75,000 and you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, NuMundo will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, NuMundo will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
ConfidentialityAll aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
