Use of the Platform

  • In using the Platform, you can view all listings published by listing owners (“Providers”), submit requests (“Requests”) to the Providers, make a reservation (“Reservation”) and write reviews. 
  • A Reservation placed through the Platform forms a binding agreement between you and the Provider if the Provider accepts your Reservation. Requests, however, are non-binding. If you have any questions, complaints, or remarks about a Provider, an Experience Offer, a Reservation, or a Request, you can contact Third Wave through the Platform.
  • The listings are subject to the Provider’s terms and conditions, as well as all agreements between you and the Provider. Third Wave shall never become a party to an agreement between a Provider and you. 
  • We advise you to carefully read the Provider’s terms and conditions since they may entail legal obligations and it is your responsibility to adhere to such obligations. Third Wave accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any decisions made by you based on the content of the Third Wave Directory and/or the Providers on the Platform, unless stated otherwise in these Terms of Use.
  • You and the Provider are solely responsible for the correct performance and execution of a Reservation, which – from your side – includes the correct provision of the required information in making a Reservation. 
  • To view, change or cancel your reservation, please refer to your confirmation email, where you will find all relevant instructions.
  • You are solely responsible and liable for the content you submit, which includes the reviews you write. Since you are able to upload content to the Platform, you warrant that this content is lawful and does not infringe upon any party’s intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or any other rights and you indemnify Third Wave from any third party’s claim in this respect. You also warrant that you do not submit content that involves any illegal activities or activities that are contrary to morality or public order, which includes, but is not limited to content that relates to hate speech, is intended to promote or sell drugs or firearms, is violent in any way or qualifies as or transmits unwanted or unsolicited material or content (spam). 
  • We do not warrant that your content will be correctly, completely, and/or continuously available on the Platform.

In other words:
“After you’ve chosen a provider, made a reservation and entered all of your correct personal data, you will engage in a contract with the Provider. Third Wave can in no way be held responsible if issues (however unlikely) arise between you and the Provider.”
