Scope Of Services

Through the Platform, we pointsonmarket.com and its affiliate (distribution) partners provide an online platform through which agents can advertise their products and service for reservation, and through which visitors of the Platform can make such reservations (i.e. the reservation service). By making a reservation through pointsonmarket.com, you enter into a direct (legally binding) contractual relationship with the agent and his supplier with which you make a reservation or purchase a product or service (as applicable). From the point at which you make your reservation, we act solely as an intermediary between you and the agent, transmitting the details of your reservation to the relevant agent(s) and sending you a confirmation email for and on behalf of the agent and supplier. When rendering our Service, the information that we disclose is based on the information provided to us by the agent. As such, the agents are given access to an extranet through which they are fully responsible for updating all rates, availability and other information which is displayed on our Platform. Although we will use reasonable skill and care in performing our Service, we will not verify if, and cannot guarantee that, all information is accurate, complete or correct, nor can we be held responsible for any errors (including manifest and typographical errors), any interruptions (whether due to any (temporary and/or partial) breakdown, repair, upgrade or maintenance of our Platform or otherwise), inaccurate, misleading or untrue information or non-delivery of information. Each agent remains responsible at all times for the accuracy, completeness and correctness of the (descriptive) information (including the rates and availability) displayed on our Platform. Our Platform does not constitute and should not be regarded as a recommendation or endorsement of the quality, service level, qualification or (star) rating of any Supplier (or its facilities, venue, products or services) made available.

Our Service is made available for personal and non-commercial use only. Therefore, you are not allowed to re-sell, deep-link, use, copy, monitor (e.g. spider, scrape), display, download or reproduce any content or information, software, reservations, tickets, products or services available on our Platform for any commercial or competitive activity or purpose.

Other Members will be able to book your services via the Site, Application and Services based upon the information provided in your Listing, your Traveler requirements, and Traveler's search parameters and preferences.

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, such as requiring Members to have a profile picture or verified phone number, in order to book. Any Member wishing to book Listings with such requirements must meet these requirements.

If you are anagent, PointsOnMarket makes certain tools available to you to help you to make informed decisions about which Members you choose to confirm or preapprove for bookings. You acknowledge and agree that, as an agent, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals who travel with or are otherwise present when the service is rendered at your request or invitation, excluding the Traveler (and the individuals the Traveler invites to the booking, if applicable.)

PointsOnMarket recommends that Agents obtain appropriate insurance for their bookings. Please review any insurance policy that you may have for your bookings 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 or relating to Travelers (and the individuals the Traveler invites, if applicable) while using the services you booked. Please also review such policy for any interaction with the PointsOnMarket Agent Protection Insurance Program, to the extent provided in your jurisdiction.
