Retaliation Is Not Okay: It is never okay to violate Pellea’s Policies, even in response to another person who has done so.

THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES ARE ALLOWED:

Be Considerate and Respectful: This is a core Pellea principle that requires you to treat others in the Pellea community with civility, respect, and consideration – both online and offline. Respect opposing or differing opinions and beliefs. Try to listen to and understand others with whom you may disagree. Encourage others in the community to also be welcoming and respectful.

Respect Others: Pellea is a meeting place for people of different cultures, lifestyles, and ideals. By joining our community, you promise to communicate with respect and consideration, even if you meet someone you disagree with.

Work Together to Resolve Disputes: Pellea is always encouraged to work through their member, vendor, or affiliate disputes and problems together with the others. Working together with others and appreciating different viewpoints are important aspects of the Pellea experience.

Use Good Judgment and Be Empathetic: When interacting with others on Pellea, try to see the world from their perspective. People contribute to the Pellea community in their way. Disputes between members, vendors, or affiliates can occur when different cultural norms create a misunderstanding, as many things are acceptable in some cultures and unacceptable in others.

Interactions With Others: It is okay to disagree. Alternative points of view are a key part of cultural exchange as long as your comments are civil, respectful, and polite. Remember to give the impression of assuming goodwill on the part of the person with whom you are disagreeing.

Stay Safe: Safety Is a Cornerstone of the Pellea Community. Member, Vendor, and Affiliate safety are very important to Pellea and the health of the community. Please check the Safety Tips section on the Safety Tips page for more information.

Price Right: You may reasonably charge for your products or services. Vendors asking members for money towards paid products or services are allowed.

Leave References: The reference system allows members, vendors, and affiliates to share information about their interactions with others enabling the community to make more informed decisions.

Vendors who have sold to members or members who have bought from vendors are permitted to give private feedback (to Pellea) and public references within 14 days after the offered products or services. Members must have a products or services request with the “Yes” “Maybe” or “Confirmed” status to leave a vendor reference. Other members may create references under the “Other” or “Friend” reference designations (as opposed to “vendor”).

References should be correct and relevant to the experience with the recipient.

Pellea does not generally interfere with reference content left by members, vendors, or affiliates. In extremely rare circumstances, Pellea may censor, temporarily hide, or remove reference content if it violates our Reference Guidelines.

A reference may be censored, temporarily hidden, or removed in the following cases:

1.   Order To Remove: We are served with a court or law enforcement order to remove the reference
2.   Not The Author: The reference entirely reflects the experience of someone other than the author
3.   False Reference: The reference is false, in a meaningful way, according to information in the Pellea system

Note: When contacting us regarding trust and safety, the reporter should provide the false statement, and details of the exact location of the evidence within the Pellea website.

1.   Anonymous: The reference is anonymous

Note: For example, left from a blank profile that was created only to leave the reference.

1.   No Contact: There has been no direct interaction, either offline or over the Pellea system, between the person writing the reference and the person receiving it
2.   Multiple References: There are multiple references for the same confirmed visit from the same member, vendor or affiliate. In this case, we will keep the first “Vendor” reference left.
3.   Private Information: The reference discloses private contact information, medical condition, or legal circumstance

If you’ve received a reference that falls under the above cases, please Contact Us. Please include a link to your profile, the name of the member, vendor or affiliate whose reference you are disputing, and the exact guideline(s) you believe this reference violates.

Pellea is generally unable to verify the accuracy of references describing offline interactions, and only act when a violation of this policy has occurred.

Pellea members, vendors or affiliates can only report references left on their profile.

Note: Pellea staff reserves the right to remove any reference that undermines the integrity of the Reference System

Report Violations: If you feel another person is violating Pellea’s policies, use the Flagging or Report tools available next to posts, events, messages, and on profiles. You can also Contact Us.

This document is meant to explain the types of cookies and other tracking technologies that Pellea Inc.’s Pellea Fitness (hereinafter “Pellea”) may place on your device, either when you are visiting our web properties, or if you are visiting the storefront of a merchant who uses our platform to power their site.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small amount of information that’s downloaded to your computer or device when you visit certain websites. We use several different cookies on the Pellea website, including strictly necessary, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies. Cookies make your browsing experience better by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login and region selection). This means you don’t have to re-enter this information each time you return to the site or browse from one page to another. Cookies also provide information on how people use the website, for instance, whether it’s their first time visiting or if they are a frequent visitor. Read more about cookies (and other similar tracking technologies) and how we use the data collected through these technologies, in our Privacy Policy.

What cookies do we use and why?

Some cookies are necessary to allow you to browse our website, use its features, and access secure areas. The use of these cookies is essential for the website to work. For example, we use user-input cookies for the duration of a session to keep track of a user’s input when filling in forms that span several pages.

We also use functional cookies to remember the choices you’ve made or information you’ve provided, such as your username, language, or the region you are in. This allows us to tailor your website experience specifically to your preferences. For example, authentication cookies are functional cookies that are used for the duration of a session (or persistent, if you agree to the “remember me” function) to allow users to authenticate themselves on subsequent visits or to gain access to authorized content across pages. The functional cookies we use include:

• User-centric security cookies to detect authentication abuses for a limited persistent duration, like repeated failed login attempts. These cookies are set for the specific task of increasing the security of the service.
• Multimedia content player session cookies (flash cookies) are used for the duration of a session to store technical data needed to playback video or audio content (e.g. image quality, network link speed, and buffering parameters).
• Load balancing session cookies are used for the duration of the session to identify the same server in the pool for the load balancer to redirect user requests appropriately.
• User interface customization persistent cookies are used to store a user’s preference regarding a service across web pages.

Pellea is dedicated to user experience and we use many tools to help us improve our website and our commerce platform. To this end, we use reporting and analytics cookies to collect information about how you use our website or our merchants’ storefronts, and how often. These cookies only gather information for statistical purposes and only use pseudonymous cookie identifiers that do not directly identify you. The performance cookies we use include:

• First party analytics cookies – We use these cookies to estimate the number of unique visitors, to improve our websites and our merchants’ websites, and to detect the most searched for words in search engines that lead to a webpage. These cookies are not used to target you with online marketing. We use these cookies to learn how our websites and our merchants’ websites are performing and make relevant improvements to improve your browsing experience.
• Third-party analytics cookies – We also use Google Analytics, Hot Jar and other third-party analytics providers listed below to help measure how users interact with our website content. These cookies “remember” what our users have done on previous pages and how they’ve interacted with the website. For more information on Google Analytics, visit Google’s information page or Hot Jar, visit Hot Jar’s Information page.

Advertising cookies are used on our website to tailor marketing to you and your interests and provide you with more personalized service in the future. These cookies remember that you visited our website and we may share this information with third-parties, such as advertisers. Although these cookies can track your device’s visits to our website and other sites, they typically cannot personally identify you. Without these cookies, the advertisements that you see may be less relevant and interesting to you. Read more about how companies use cookies to conduct targeted or retargeted advertising here. We do not set advertising cookies through our merchants’ storefronts ourselves, though merchants may choose to do so independently.

Finally, Social and Content cookies are placed by many social media plugins (for example the Facebook ‘like’ button), and other tools meant to provide or improve the content on a website (for example services that allow the playing of video files, or that create comments sections). We integrate these modules into our platform to improve the experience of browsing and interacting with our websites. Please note that some of these third-party services place cookies that are also used for things like behavioural advertising, analytics, and/or market research.

How long will cookies remain on my computer or mobile device?

The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device. See the section below on how to control cookies for more information on removing them before they expire.

How to control cookies?

You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser controls, often found in your browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu.

SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Pellea!

By continuing to use these websites or the Support Service after these changes are posted, you agree to the revised terms.

SECTION 2 – ELIGIBILITY, REGISTRATION, AND ACCOUNT

You must be at least 18 years old to get access to or use the Services. By registering to use our Services, you represent that you are at least 18 years old. To use certain areas and features of our Services, you will need to register for an account using either your email address or your login credentials from a third-party social media site. If you register with your email address, you agree to create a unique password that you do not use with any other online product and/or service.

SECTION 3 – INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER MEMBERS

3.1 You Have Sole Responsibility When Interacting with Other Members. Our Services give a platform for members to learn about one another, arrange the offerings of products/services, engage in activities, and communicate with one another. Pellea is not a party to, has no involvement or interest in, makes no representations or warranties as to, and has no responsibility or liability concerning any communications, transactions, interactions, disputes or any relations whatsoever between you and any other member, person or organization. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other members of our Services. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to check interactions between you and other members of our Services.

Remember, Pellea Services is just a platform that enables you to communicate and interact with other people around the world. We cannot be responsible for the interactions that you have with other Pellea members, so please use good judgment and keep safety in mind when you use our Services.

3.2 Identity Verification. We cannot and do not confirm each member’s identity. Although we give tools intended to help with identity verification, such as our address verification tool (as described in Section 3.3), you are solely responsible for determining the identity and suitability of others with whom you may interact through our Services. Pellea does not represent or permit that our tools are enough to decide whether it is right for you to interact with another member. Further, we do not endorse any persons who use or register for our Services. We do not investigate or verify any member’s reputation, conduct, morality, criminal background, or any information members may submit to the Services (other than the address-verification tool as described in Section 3.3). We urge you to take precautions when interacting with other members, particularly when meeting a stranger in person for the first time.

3.3 Our Address-Verification Tool. Our address verification tool is intended merely to confirm that the postal address a member submits to us is an address at which that member can get access to or receive mail. Pellea’s address verification tool is not intended to confirm that a member resides at a particular address. While this is one of many ways to reduces the risk of misconduct by a member, it is not a guarantee of any member’s identity or good faith.

3.4 Member-Hosted Events; Pellea members may organize in-person meetings and host events for other Pellea members; however, these events are not sponsored or endorsed by Pellea and members attend such meetings and events at their own risk.

3.5 Release. Because our Services are merely a platform, if you have a dispute with one or more members, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law you release us (and our officers, directors, members, employees, agents, and partners) from claims, demands and damages (real and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

These rules are aimed at increasing transparency between endorsers and consumers. As a member of the Partner Program with Pellea, Referral (Associate) Partners receives compensation for customer or client referrals made to Pellea. This may establish a “material connection” according to FTC rules, which creates an obligation for an Referral (Associate) Partners to provide disclosure to consumers.
2. Full compliance with these guidelines requires that information be provided by Referral (Associate) Partner to consumers clearly and conspicuously, outlining that an Referral (Associate) Partner is being compensated for referring Customers or Clients to Pellea. For further information, a Referral (Associate) Partner may refer to the statement released by the FTC regarding these guidelines.

WHICH MEANS

      3. Revenue Sharing Plans for Partners

1. The “Payment Plan” represents a revenue-sharing program that provides Merchant Partners with four payments (“Payments”) for selling products or services. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Pellea, the Payment Plan entitles a Merchant Partner, selling products or services using Pellea Service, to a percentage of revenue determined at Pellea’s sole discretion, with Pellea retaining the remaining twenty percent (20%). The Merchant Partner receives a variable fee ranging from seventy-five percent to sixty-five percent (75% – 65%) of one week’s revenue from Customers or Clients. The Fees for Merchant Partners vary based on factors detailed in this section. These include Pellea’s 20% service fee, Stripe’s 5% transaction processing fee, a 2% deduction for credits redeemed by affiliates, an 8% deduction from points redeemed by users, and/or a 10% reduction from user Discounts.  Fees payable to a Merchant Partner are processed within 7 days after the Customer or Client pays their fees to Pellea. The Payment Plan also applies when multiple Referral (Associate) Partners introduce a Customer or Client to Pellea using their Referral Links. Pellea reserves the right to adjust the revenue share amounts and ongoing obligations under the Payment Plan at its sole discretion, providing reasonable prior notice to the Merchant Partner through email, posted notices on the Pellea Blog, and/or in the Merchant Dashboard. To continue receiving a revenue share under the Payment Plan, the Merchant Partner must engage in at least one Revenue Generating Activity in each consecutive 12-month period.
2. The “Reference Plan” constitutes a revenue-sharing arrangement crediting Referral (Associates) Partners who introduce Pellea to a Customer or Client through a referral link linked to the Partner’s Dashboard. Unless otherwise stipulated in written agreement by Pellea, the Reference Plan entitles a Referral (Associate) Partner, who refers a Customer or Client to Pellea’s services, to a percentage of revenue determined at Pellea’s sole discretion, while Pellea retains the remaining percentage. The Referral (Associate) Partner receives a variable credit ranging from zero percent to two percent (0% – 2%) of one month’s revenue from the referred customers or clients. The variability of credits is determined by other factors outlined in this section, such as the quantity of credits Referral (Associate) Partners accumulate.  Credits allocated to a Referral (Associate) Partner are distributed within 30 days after the Customer or Client pays their fees to Pellea. The Reference Plan also applies when multiple Referral (Associate) Partners introduce a Customer or Client to Pellea using their respective Referral Links. Pellea reserves the right to adjust the revenue share amounts and ongoing obligations under the Reference Plan at its sole discretion, with reasonable prior notice to the Referral (Associate) Partner via email, posted notices on the Pellea Blog, and/or in the Partner Dashboard. To continue receiving a revenue share under the Reference Plan, the Referral (Associates) Partner must engage in at least one Revenue Generating Activity in each consecutive 12-month period.
3. For each Referred Customer or Client identified and product(s) or service(s) delivered to Customer or Client, Referral (Associate) Partners will be entitled to receive Credits from the Reference Plan not the Payment Plan. Where the Referral (Associate) Partner introduces Pellea to a Referred Customer or Client through the Referral (Associate) Partner’s Referral Link associated with the Partners Dashboard, the Referral (Associate) Partner will be entitled to receive Credits following the Reference Plan. Where the Merchant Partner sells products or services to customers or clients through a Store associated with Merchant Partner’s Dashboard, the Merchant Partner will be entitled to receive Fees following the Payment Plan. Whether the Referral (Associate) Partner receives Credits or Merchant Partner receives Fees, in respect to the Referred Customer or Client identified or product(s) or service(s) delivered to Customer or Client under either the Reference Plan or the Payment Plan is at Pellea’s sole and absolute discretion.

Pellea reserves the right to (i) demand and receive information from Referral (Associate) Partner about any Referred Customer or Client, including but not limited to information concerning traffic sources and methods used to acquire the Referred Customer or Client, and (ii) assess the legitimacy and qualification of such Referred Customer or Client to determine whether fees are payable for such Referral (Associate) Partner. Pellea shall not be responsible to distribute any Credits for a Referral (Associate) Partner owned in whole or in part by a Referral (Associate) Partner or Referral (Associate) Partner’s employer (whether full-time, part-time, term or any other employment type relationship).

     4. Responsibilities

1. Referral (Associate) Partners will use their best efforts to (i) promote and market Pellea, and (ii) identify for Pellea prospective referred Customers or Clients.

Merchants Partners will use their best efforts to (i) promote and market Pellea, and (ii) deliver for Pellea Products and Services to Customers or Clients.

      5. Unauthorized and Prohibited Activities

2. Use its Ref Link directly in any pay-per-click advertising;
3. purchase search engine or other pay-per-click keywords (such as Google AdWords), trademarks or domain names that use the Pellea Trademarks and/or the names or trademarks of any Pellea Related Entities or any variations or misspellings thereof that may be deceptively or confusingly similar to the Pellea Trademarks or the names or trademarks of any Pellea Related Entity;
4. Create or participate in any third-party networks or sub-affiliate networks without the express written permission of Pellea;
5. use or encourage any means of delivering fraudulent traffic, including but not limited to the use of bots or toolbar traffic, cookie stuffing, or use of false or misleading links;

We reserve the right to change the Fees at any time, subject to a thirty (30) day notice period to you under Section A18, above. If you continue to use the Services and Processor Services for such thirty (30) days then you are deemed to have accepted the change in Fees contemplated by such notice.

In addition to the Fees, you are also responsible for any penalties and fines imposed on you or us by any bank, money services business, payment network, financial institution, or other financial intermediary resulting from your use of the Services in a manner not permitted by this Agreement or by such financial intermediary’s rules and regulations.

SECTION 2 – SECUTIRTY INTEREST

As security for performance of your obligations under this Agreement, you grant us a priority lien and security interest in (and in Quebec, a hypothec on), all funds processed and deposited into all Payout Accounts (as defined in the Processor Terms) and any other bank accounts associated with your Processor Account, and in any funds processed using the Payment Processing Services. These security interests and liens (and hypothecs) will secure payment and performance of all of your obligations under this Agreement and any other agreements now existing or later entered into between us and you including without limitation your obligation to pay any amounts due and owing to us. The hypothec created according to this section is granted for the sum of fifty million dollars with interest at the rate of twenty-five percent per annum. This amount and this rate are a formal amount and formal rate to satisfy the requirements of the law in Quebec and do not affect the amount of the actual obligations you owe to us. You will execute, deliver, and pay the fees for any documents we request to create, perfect, maintain, and enforce this security interest.

SECTION 3 – PRE-AUTHORIZED DEBITS (“PADs”)

You authorize us and our respective vendors and agents to initiate debit and credit entries to the bank account associated with your Processor Account (the “Bank Account”), or any other account maintained by you at any institution that is a member of the Canadian Payments Association, all under this Agreement. You agree that any withdrawal by us and our vendors and agents under this Agreement are PADs for business purposes, as defined under Rule H1 of the Canadian Payments Association. You hereby waive the right to receive advance notice from us and our vendors and agents of any such debits. This authorization will remain in effect after termination of this Agreement and until all of your obligations to us have been paid in full. If you change the Bank Account, this PAD authorization will apply to the new account and you shall provide us in writing such information regarding the new account as we deem necessary. Such a new account shall thereafter be and become the “Bank Account” for this Agreement. It may take us up to ten (10) business days after receipt of a written notice from you to reflect in our system any change to the Bank Account. If you change the Bank Account, you agree that you are responsible for all costs incurred by us in connection with your decision to change the Bank Account. You may revoke this PAD authorization upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to us, but any such revocation shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. You may obtain a sample cancellation form, as well as further information on your right to cancel a PAD authorization by contacting your financial institution or by visiting cdnpay.ca. You have certain recourse rights if any debit does not comply with this PAD Agreement. For example, you have the right to receive reimbursement for any debit that is not authorized or is not consistent with this PAD Agreement. To obtain more information on your recourse rights, you may contact your financial institution or visit cdnpay.ca.

SECTION 4 – OUR COLLECTION RIGHTS   

To the extent permitted by law, we may collect any obligations you owe us under this Agreement by requesting that the Processor deduct the corresponding amounts from the Reserve Account (as such term is defined in the Processor Terms) or from funds payable to you arising from the settlement of Card Transactions, and remit such amounts to us on your behalf. If these amounts are not sufficient to meet your obligations to us, we may charge or debit your Bank Account or credit card associated with your Pellea Services account for any amounts owed to us. Your failure to fully pay amounts that you owe us on demand will be a breach of this Agreement. You will be liable for our costs associated with collection in addition to the amount owed, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and expenses, costs of any arbitration or court proceeding, collection agency fees, and any applicable interest.

Additionally, we may require a personal guaranty from a principal of a business for funds owed under this Agreement. If we require a personal guarantee we will specifically inform you in advance.

In addition to the amount due, delinquent accounts may be charged with fees that are incidental to the collection of delinquent accounts and chargebacks including, but not limited to, collection fees and convenience fees and other third party charges.

You hereby explicitly agree that all communication about delinquent accounts will be made by electronic mail or by phone, as provided to Pellea by you. Such communication may be made by Pellea or by anyone on its behalf, including but not limited to a third-party collection agent.

SECTION 5 – CONTESTING CHARGBACKS

You or Pellea may elect to contest chargebacks assessed to your account. Pellea may provide you with assistance including notifications and software to help contest your chargebacks. We do not assume any liability for our role or assistance in contesting Chargebacks.

You permit us to share records or other information required with the Cardholder, the Cardholder’s financial institution, and your financial institution to help resolve any chargeback. You acknowledge that your failure to provide us with complete and accurate information promptly may result in an irreversible chargeback being assessed.

If the Cardholder’s issuing bank or the Payment Network does not resolve a dispute in your favours, we may recover the chargeback amount and any associated fees from you as described in this Agreement.

We reserve the right, upon notice to you, to charge a fee for mediating or investigating chargeback disputes.

We may terminate this Agreement and close your Pellea Payments Account at any time for any reason upon notice to you under Section A18 above. We may suspend your Pellea Payments Account and your access to the Services and any rights in respect of your Pellea Payments Account, or terminate this Agreement at any time or for any reason, including if (i) we determine in our sole discretion that you may be ineligible for the Services because of the risk associated with your Pellea Payments Account, including without limitation significant credit or fraud risk, or for any other reason; (ii) you do not comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Processor Terms; or (iii) upon request of Payment Network, Processor or a Card issuer.

1.3. References to a “person” include any individual, body corporate, association, partnership, firm, trust, organisation, joint venture, government, local or municipal authority, governmental or supra-governmental agency or department, state or agency of state or any other entity (in each case whether or not having separate legal personality);

2. Pellea’s contractual model & a description of the facilitation Service

2.1. Upon your agreement to these Terms and Conditions, Pellea will periodically furnish you with the contact details of potential Customers or Clients, as further detailed below.

2.2. Pellea administers the Website, designed to streamline the dissemination of Prospective Customers’ or Clients’ contact details to Merchants, enabling the provision of a diverse array of Services.

2.3. Potential Customers or Clients can utilize the Website’s search functionality to explore Merchant profiles, store information, and details about products/services. This allows them to assess whether the offerings align with their requirements. Conversely, Merchants have the capability to search the Website for information on Prospective Customers or Clients, focusing on the basic information provided in their profiles. Upon a Prospective Customer’s or Client’s Booking with a Merchant on the Website, we will furnish the Merchant with the contact details of the respective Customer or Client. It is the Merchant’s responsibility to initiate contact with the Customer or Client for supplementary information and logistical purposes.

2.4. Upon acceptance of these Terms and Conditions, you acknowledge the necessity to register as a “Merchant” on the Website to deliver the Services. Prospective Customers or Clients will initiate requests for a Merchant, and it is at your discretion to accept or decline the request. If you choose to accept, the Prospective Customer or Client must complete the Booking by remitting the applicable Fees. Following the completion of the Booking with the Merchant on the website, you will be granted access to the relevant contact details of the Prospective Customer or Client. Pellea will provide you with the contact details furnished by Prospective Customers or Clients, henceforth referred to as Contacts, facilitating direct communication. Once you engage with the Contact for additional informational and logistical purposes, they will transition into a Customer or Client of the Merchant and may be subjected to the Merchant’s legal terms of service.

2.5. Upon the successful registration of a Merchant on the Website, Pellea will grant the Merchant access to the Merchant’s profile on the website. This profile includes a feature allowing Customers or Clients to evaluate the Merchant’s performance, and such reviews will be publicly visible on the Website for Prospective Customers or Clients. You acknowledge and agree that the opinions expressed in these reviews are solely those of the Customers or Clients, and Pellea bears no liability to you for the content of such reviews. It is your responsibility to ensure that any website linked to your profile on the Website adheres to all applicable laws, guidelines, and regulations.

Important: Pellea functions solely as a facilitator of the Contacts mentioned above, and Merchants bear the responsibility of defining the legal terms of services provided to the Customer or Client. In the event of any issues with the performance of the Services by you, the Customer or Client retains legal rights of recourse against you, the Merchant, directly.

3. Quality of the Facilitation Services

3.1. The Facilitation Services will be provided by Pellea using reasonable care and skill. Time will not be of the essence where we have stated on the Website that any Contacts will be provided within a prescribed period of time.

3.3 The Website and the Facilitation Services do not guarantee your success in securing a Booking from a Prospective Customer or Client for the Services. The primary role of the Website is to facilitate contact between the Merchant and the Prospective Customer or Client. You are not entitled to any Fees from us if a Booking with the Merchant by a Prospective Customer or Client does not materialize. 

4. The Merchant’s obligations

4.1. You warrant to Pellea that the Services that you provide to your Customers or Clients will be performed by you and anyone acting on your behalf with due care and diligence, with integrity and to such high standard of quality as it is reasonable for the Customer or Client to expect in all the circumstances, and shall comply at all times with all laws, guidance and regulations that apply to your provision of the Services to your Customers or Clients (including, without limitation, those relating to data privacy, consumer law, and health & safety).

2.4. You can review Merchant’s profile, store and services details before deciding to Request their Services. If the Merchant accepts the Request, you must complete the Booking by paying Fees. After completing the Booking, the Merchant gains access to your contact details. At this point, you become a Contact, allowing the Merchant to communicate with you for additional information and logistical purposes. The Contact then may become the Customer or Client and will be subject to the Merchant’s legal terms of service.

Important: Pellea serves solely as a facilitator for introductions. The provision of Services by the Merchant to a Customer or Client is subject to the Merchant’s legal terms of service. In case of issues with Service performance, legal rights of redress lie against the Merchant, not Pellea.

Disclaimer: Pellea does not make any warranties or guarantees, and disclaims all liabilities, or obligations, with respect to the capabilities, comments, or actions of any Merchants obtained to this website. Customers and clients use Merchants found through this Website at their own risk.
