6.c Appointment of Stripe Payments Europe Ltd as acting agent responsible for collecting payments

Through this document, the Owner appoints Stripe Payments Europe Ltd (hereafter: "Stripe") as its acting collection agent for the sole purpose of receiving the Consideration from the Tenants.

On a regular monthly basis Stripe will give Sharewood the consideration accrued by the Owner in order to let Sharewood pay out the total of accrued consideration within 15 (fifteen) days upon receipt of regular invoice from the Owner, containing the total accrued amount in the accrual period, already deducted from the 18% fee in favor of Sharewood.  

The Owner accepts that the payment made by a Tenant through Stripe will be considered as a payment paid directly to the Owner; the latter must place the Article at the disposal of the Tenant as agreed above, as if the Owner had received the Consideration.

Each Owner understands that the obligation of Stripe to give Sharewood the accrued consideration by the Owner himself is subject to, and conditioned upon receipt of payment from the Tenant, given the fact that Stripe accepts the related payments made by the Members as an acting agent for the collection of payments. Sharewood does not guarantee payments in favor of the Owners of sums whose payment has not been correctly carried out, by relevant Tenants, in favor of Stripe. In accepting the appointment of provisional authorized agent of the Owner, Stripe assumes no responsibility for any actions or omissions of the Owner.

Stripe will collect its Consideration upon payment by the Tenant (that is, after confirmation of the Reservation by the Owner) and will present the payment of the Consideration accrued by the Owner on a regular monthly basis. The Consideration on which Stripe will meet its percentage and its fixed costs are inclusive of VAT, since all prices decided by the Owners are inclusive of VAT. Likewise Sharewood will meet its percentage on the Consideration due to the Owner including VAT.

The time necessary for the Owner to receive payments may vary depending on the payment method chosen by the Owner. Some methods include the use of third-party payment processors, which may charge the Owner for their additional costs for the use of their Services, also by deducting them from the amount of the Transaction.

The Owner accepts the Terms and Conditions provided by Stripe, freely available on the website owned by the same.

 

6.d Alternative methods of payment

It is possible to proceed freely by other means payment (eg Paypal or bank transfer) on the Sharewood website.

6.e Reservations and financial terms for the Tenants

The Owners, and not Sharewood, are solely responsible for honoring any confirmed Reservation and for making available any of the Items reserved through the Site, the Application and the Services.

The Tenant understands and agrees that, when it chooses to conclude a Transaction with an Owner relating to an Item, it concludes an agreement with the Owner and agrees to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with such Article imposed by the Owner and specified in the Advert.

The responsibility for fulfilling the obligations of these agreements falls solely on the Tenant, and not on Sharewood.

Regardless of the fact that Sharewood is not part of the agreement between the Tenant and the Owner, Stripe (or any other means of payment used) will act as the agent responsible for collecting the Owner's payments for the sole purpose of accepting payments in the name and on behalf of the Tenant's account.

Following the payment, the Tenant's obligation towards the Owner relating to the Consideration will lapse and Stripe (or any other means of payment used) will be responsible for providing Sharewood with the Compensation accrued by the Owner, as described in these Terms. In the event that the Company in charge does not pay the sums as described in these Terms, exclusively the Owner may act towards such Company.

The Tenant agrees to pay any confirmed Reservation made in connection with its User Account, in accordance with these Terms, by any of the methods described on the Site or Application.

Tourist Packages”: pursuant to article 34 of Legislative Decree 79/2011, such offers must be understood as those relating to travel, holidays, tourist cruises, all-inclusive circuits, sold or offered for sale at a fixed price, resulting from the combination of at least two of these elements: transport, accommodation or tourist service not ancillary to transport and accommodation which constitutes a significant part of the package. (Article 36 of Legislative Decree 79/2011).

"Supplier": one who makes available the Tourist Packages on the site. Sharewood can take the title of Supplier if it does not operate as a simple intermediary.

"Consumer": one who buys a Tourist Package on the Sharewood subdomain. Registration to the Site is not necessary for the purchase of a package.

 

20.a Consumer obligations

The behavior requested by the User is therefore the same as provided in these Terms and Conditions.

The Consumer warrants for the truthfulness of the personal information it has entered on the site.

The Consumer accepts the cancellation policies of each Supplier, which will apply to any reservation made.

The Consumer is entitled to stipulate insurance relating to the trip; for example, it can protect itself in case of cancellation of the trip and / or loss of baggage.

 

20.b Supplier obligations

The Supplier is bound by the information contained in the Advert on the site and must ensure that the Service that it will offer the Consumer respects the given description, without prejudice to the possibility of subsequent amendments to the Agreement, drawn up in writing and accepted by the Consumer.

The Supplier must provide precise information regarding the destination, date and duration of the trip; amount to be paid at the time of reservation (which may never exceed 25% of the total planned for the Tourist Package); means, characteristics and types of transport, precise indications on date, place and time of departure; detailed information on accommodation (where provided for in the package), terms for complaints.

No other type of additional Compensation is provided in the event that the cancellation due to failure to reach the minimum threshold has been notified in writing to the Consumer at least five (5) days before the scheduled departure date.

There is no provision for any additional Compensation in the event that the cancellation is due to force majeure, for these are understood to be those causes that made it impossible to realize the offer contained in the Tourist Package and that the Supplier could not avoid using the normal diligence.

The applicability of the Supplier's own conditions is excluded if they make the position of the Consumer less advantageous.

On the other hand, conditions more favorable to the Consumer are freely applicable.

 

20.c Price

The price indicated in the payment phase is to be considered binding for the Supplier.

The Supplier must indicate in detail the services that the price includes, anything that is not foreseen is considered as not included.

The Price does not include visas, airport taxes, vaccination certificates, optional excursions, tips and, in general, any items not specifically included in the list of what includes the Tourist Package.

The Price accepted by the Consumer is deemed to be unmodifiable after the purchase of the Package.

By way of derogation from this, the possibility of a change in the price can be admitted if factors such as the cost of transport, the cost of fuel, airport or port fees or fees or the exchange rate change.

Any changes to the Price that occurred after the purchase of the package must be notified to the Consumer in writing or by any other means that allows confirmation of receipt.

If the Consumer can no longer exploit the purchased Tourist Package, he retains the possibility of transferring its contract to a third party without incurring the payment of the penalties envisaged for withdrawal.

The Consumer must disclose the reasons and indicate the identity of the third party to whom the contract is assigned.

If the Tourist Package includes an air ticket, the latter can not be transferred to third parties unless there is an agreement with the Supplier without Sharewood intercession.

If a specific Package requires particular characteristics (for example age limits), it will be the responsibility of the Consumer to transfer the contract to a third party that satisfies these characteristics; otherwise the transfer can be denied.

 

20.g Changes to the Tourist Package

The Supplier must indicate in the Advert any changes that may be affected by the Tourist Package, always ensuring that the nature of the Package is not altered.

Within two (2) days from the date of receipt of the communication, the Consumer has the right to withdraw from the contract without paying any penalty or accepting the changes made.

In the event of withdrawal, the Consumer has the right to take advantage (where possible) of another Tourist Package of equivalent or higher characteristics.

In the event that the proposed Tourist Package in substitution is of a lower value, then the difference in Price must be returned to the Consumer.

If the Consumer does not accept the proposals put forward, it is entitled to receive within seven (7) working days the sums of money already paid and a sum of money equivalent to the damage caused by the non-execution of the contract, should these proposals be worth less than that initially purchased.

The Consumer loses the right, as outlined above, to receive sums of money if he does not accept an alternative proposal of equal or greater quality.

If the changes involving an essential part of the services contained in the Package are made after the date scheduled for departure, it is the Supplier's responsibility to provide alternative solutions for the continuation of the journey.

If this is not possible, the Supplier must arrange the immediate return and repay the difference between the price paid and the services performed.

The changes described in the previous paragraphs do not in any way involve Sharewood which, if it acts as an intermediary, is not in fact required to any form of reimbursement or additional charge.
