1. Introduction

1.1 Welcome to the Eventflare platform (www.eventflare.io). We will refer to our Platform and other services as our “Services”, and Eventflare will be addressed individually or collectively as “Eventflare”, “We”, “Us”, or “Our”. Do read through the following Terms of Service carefully before using the Platform or any of our services.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE USE OF THIS PLATFORM IS RESTRICTED TO LEGAL ENTITIES AND PROFESSIONALS AND IS SPECIFICALLY NOT INTENDED FOR CONSUMERS UNLESS THEY ARE ACTING IN A CAPACITY OF HOST AS DEFINED BELOW. If you are an individual accessing or using our Platform on behalf of, or for the benefit of, any corporation, partnership or other entity with which you are associated (an “Organization”), then you are agreeing to this Agreement on behalf of yourself and such Organization, and you represent and warrant that you have the legal authority to bind such Organization to this Agreement. References to “you” and “your” in this Agreement will refer to both the individual using the Platform and to any such Organization.

Your Content includes your usernames, shop names, profile pictures, listing photos, listing description, reviews, comments, videos etc. 
1.4 Our Services include (without limitation) an online platform service that provides a site and opportunity for renting out premises such as (without limitation) conference rooms or the sale of services between the “buyer” (“Guest”) and the “seller” (“Host”), collectively known as “Users” or “the Parties”. The actual contract related thereto (“a Booking”) is concluded directly between the Guest and the Host. We are not a party to that contract and as such not liable in any way for any breach related to said contract or any other ancillary contract between Guest and Host. We have made a selection of third party service providers which may be added by us in our own discretion to the list of the Hosts profiles to provide the full range of services to the Guests. When a Guest selects one of these added third party service providers, a contract will be concluded between the Host and the third party service providers. The Parties to this contract will be entirely responsible for the content of the contract between them. As such, we make no representations as to the completeness, accuracy, reliability, validity or timeliness of such listings by the Hosts, descriptions or images and we decline all liability of any kind relating to said contracts entered into by the Parties. However, if you have problems with your Booking, we may (without any obligation on our part to do so) step in to help (refer to section 10). We do not pre-screen Users and any of Your Content. We cannot ensure that Users will actually complete a Booking. 
1.5 We reserve the right to change, modify, suspend or discontinue all or any part of this Platform or Services at any time. We may release certain Services or their features while they are still considered to be a beta version, which may not work correctly or in the same way as how the final version may work, and cannot be held liable in such instances. We may also impose limit on certain features or restrict your access to parts of, or the entire Platform or Service at our sole discretion without notice or liability. 
1.6 We reserve the right to refuse to provide you access to the Platform or Service or to allow you to open an Account without any requirement on our part to state reasons.
