In this case, GUESTRAVELER shall inform USERS in advance by publishing the modified T&Cs on the PLATFORM and/or using another means of communication (such as, for example, an e-mail sent to MEMBERS), mentioning the date of the update of the T&Cs.
Continued use of the PLATFORM and the SERVICE after the publication of the amended T&Cs implies full acceptance of the new T&Cs by the USERS.
USERS who do not accept the amended T&Cs will no longer be allowed to use the PLATFORM and, if applicable, the SERVICE.
ARTICLE 2: OVERVIEW OF THE SERVICE
NOHÔ aims to put in contact, across the territory of the European Union, a HOST proposing a SHARE with one or several NOMAD(S) seeking to benefit from it.
Sharing, as well as respect for others and kindness, are fundamental values of the SERVICE for GUESTRAVELER.
As such, GUESTRAVELER offers, on its PLATFORM, a SERVICE allowing its MEMBERS to offer or benefit from a SHARE upon prior reservation.
Thus, each registered HOST who wishes to do so can offer a SHARE that he/she lists under one of the PLATFORM’s HEADINGS and which is visible to all USERS. The USERS’ attention is drawn to the non-commercial and non-professional purpose for the HOSTS of SHARES offered on the PLATFORM.
For each SHARE offered, an ADVERT with the following information is made available by HOSTS: location, date, proposed activity, fee amount requested.
USERS who wish to benefit from a SHARE must first register as MEMBERS.
The HEADINGS and the geolocation of the SHARES offered allow a NOMAD to choose the SHARE he or she wishes to benefit from at the time that suits him or her and in the place where he or she is or where he or she wishes to go.
The NOMAD can, in fact, view all the available SHARES on an interactive map. Once he or she has selected a SHARE and, where applicable, a time slot (when several times are offered by the HOST), his or her SHARE request is sent to the HOST who may then confirm his or her acceptance except in the event of force majeure or the impossibility of providing the SHARE at the requested time, in which case the HOST will propose an alternative time.
Upon confirmation of agreement by the HOST, by SMS and/or email, the NOMAD is invited to pay the FEES online.
Once the FEES have been paid to STRIPE, the NOMAD can converse with the HOST via an internal messaging service available on the PLATFORM and further specify the details of the SHARE selected (in particular the meeting place, the precise time, the number of people (limited to 6 per SHARE).
The HOST receives from STRIPE the PAYMENT due to him or her by bank transfer within forty-eight (48) hours of the end of the SHARE as confirmed by him or her and the NOMAD.
At the end of the SHARE, the NOMAD is invited to leave a rating and a comment about the HOST on the PLATFORM, via the APPLICATION or the WEBSITE, it being specified that the latter will be accessible to USERS.
ARTICLE 3: TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ACCESS TO THE PLATFORM
Any USER who complies with these T&Cs may access the PLATFORM.
USERS are encouraged to inform GUESTRAVELER of their experiences and suggestions in relation to their use of the PLATFORM and, more generally, the APPLICATION and the WEBSITE, with a view to constant improvement, by e-mail to contact@noho.world
If a USER wishes to offer a SHARE or benefit from a SHARE, he or she must access the SERVICE.
ARTICLE 4: TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ACCESS TO THE SERVICE

The SERVICE is only open to adults over the age of 18. Any access or use of the SERVICE by an individual under 18 is prohibited. By accessing or using the SERVICE, the MEMBER guarantees he or she is at least 18 years old.
Under penalty of exclusion of the MEMBERS concerned, the exclusive purpose of the SERVICE is to offer SHARES that are strictly in accordance with the values of the PLATFORM, moral standards and public order. As such, any proselytizing activity is strictly prohibited.
4.2 Terms of access for all MEMBERS
Access to the SERVICE requires the prior creation of a MEMBER ACCOUNT by the USERS.
MEMBERS can only have one active ACCOUNT.
Creating a MEMBER ACCOUNT allows MEMBERS to interact with each other from their ACCOUNT.
A USER who wants to become a MEMBER creates his/her ACCOUNT by filling in a form available on the PLATFORM and by filling in the required DATA and personal information that is accurate, complete, true and up to date. He/she guarantees the adequacy and accuracy of his/her DATA and shall be solely responsible to GUESTRAVELER, the MEMBERS and third parties for any errors, omissions or negligence in this regard.
When creating an ACCOUNT, the USER also creates ACCESS CODES.
The ACCESS CODES are strictly private and for personal use. It is the MEMBER’s responsibility to take the appropriate measures in order to avoid a third party being able to gain knowledge of these codes. Therefore, the MEMBER commits to not communicating them to anyone in any way. MEMBERS are solely responsible for keeping them and using them and shall be liable for the acts and actions of any person using their ACCCOUNT, even without their knowledge. In addition, MEMBERS commit to modifying their ACCESS CODES straight away as soon as they believe their privacy has been compromised or that an unauthorized person has had, or is likely to have, access to their ACCESS CODES. The MEMBER undertakes to immediately inform GUESTRAVELER which will suspend all access to the SERVICE before the MEMBER creates new ACCESS CODES.
In addition, GUESTRAVELER reserves the right to request that MEMBERS modify all or part of their confidential codes, notably for regulatory, technical or security reasons, without MEMBERS being able to oppose this in any capacity or in any manner whatsoever.
In the event of the provision of erroneous, incomplete, misleading or obsolete DATA, as well as when the ACCOUNT has remained inactive for one (1) year, GUESTRAVELER may decide to suspend or cancel the MEMBER’s ACCOUNT with immediate effect in accordance with article 10 of these T&Cs. When the ACCOUNT has remained inactive for three (3) years, the ACCOUNT will be automatically deleted in the event of non-response from the MEMBER to the request that GUESTRAVELER will send to him or her, before the end of this period of three (3) years, to know if he or she wishes to keep his or her ACCOUNT.

The SHARE ADVERTS are posted online by the HOSTS themselves and under their sole responsibility.
The SHARE ADVERTS presented online are valid, in the absence of any indication of a particular duration, for as long as they appear on the PLATFORM.
Any MEMBER is allowed to post a SHARE, subject to strict compliance with the T&Cs. He or she chooses the title of his/her ADVERT and the HEADING under which he/she wants it to be published.
GUESTRAVELER shall not classify or rank the ADVERTS and there shall be no capitalistic relationship or remuneration of any kind between GUESTRAVELER and the MEMBERS using the SERVICE that could influence the listing or ranking of the ADVERTS on the SERVICE/PLATFORM.
GUESTRAVELER reserves the right to delete an ADVERT or to block an ACCOUNT in the event of use of the SERVICE that does not comply with the T&Cs.
5.2 Booking of a SHARE by a NOMAD
Booking stages
The NOMAD consults the SHARES available on the PLATFORM and selects one. Once the SHARE has been selected, the NOMAD chooses a date and time slot from those offered by the HOST on the PLATFORM. The HOST is informed by SMS, notification and e-mail that a NOMAD wishes to book his/her SHARE. The NOMAD is informed by notification and email of the request made to the HOST.
Before confirming his or her booking, the NOMAD has the option of confirming the details of his or her booking, going back to the previous pages to correct possible errors or modifying his or her booking.
The HOST has the right to confirm or refuse this time slot. If the two MEMBERS cannot agree on the time slot, then the SHARE booking will be cancelled.
When the HOST accepts the request, the NOMAD is also informed by notification and e-mail.
The NOMAD must then declare that he/she accepts the T&Cs, the privacy policy and that he/she is in possession of civil liability insurance. Once these acceptances have been confirmed, he/she will be able to pay for his/her SHARE. The FEES are due in full after confirmation of the booking and acceptance of it by the HOST.
Upon acceptance of the payment, the NOMAD will receive a confirmation email with the invoice for the CONNECTION FEES and the invitation for his or her calendar. Then the NOMAD is put in contact with the HOST by means of an internal messaging system made available on the SERVICE by the GUESTRAVELER company.
The HOST will receive a notification and an email informing him/her of the settling of the PAYMENTS relating to his/her SHARE by the NOMAD. It will be paid by bank transfer within 48 hours of the end of the SHARE.
No right of withdrawal:
The PLATFORM allows you to contact a HOST with a view to subscribing to a SHARE directly with the HOST. The SERVICE is therefore intended to be immediate in most cases thanks to the geolocation and the characteristics of the ADVERTS generally offered for a SHARE at short notice. In addition, these are leisure activities.
Due to this and in accordance with article L221-28-1°of the French Consumer Code, USERS are informed of the fact that the right to withdrawal cannot be exercised, which the USERS both formally accept and expressly renounce by using the SERVICE.
Cancellation and refunds:
If a NOMAD wishes to cancel a confirmed booking, he/she still owes:
1) the full FEES if the cancellation occurs less than twenty-four (24) hours before the start of the SHARE. The same applies if he/she does not turn up to the SHARE at the time and place indicated
2) only the CONNECTION FEES if the cancellation occurs more than twenty-four (24) hours before the start of the SHARE
If a HOST cancels a confirmed booking or fails to turn up for the SHARE, the NOMAD will be refunded the full amount of the FEES charged.
5.3 Participation of the NOMAD in a SHARE
The HOST is solely responsible for the carrying out of any confirmed booking and the provision of the SHARE booked via the SERVICE on the PLATFORM.
The NOMAD must arrive at the place and time agreed with the HOST. Prior to the SHARE, the HOST may ask the NOMAD to present an identity document.
Furthermore, each of the MEMBERS must respect the obligations which are incumbent upon them.
5.4 COMMENTS– Feedback on SHARES
Both HOSTS and NOMADS can provide feedback to GUESTRAVELER on their SHARES. In addition, they may leave COMMENTS relating to the SHARES on the SERVICE and on the PLATFORM.

ARTICLE 6: FINANCIAL CONDITIONS OF A SHARE

The above-mentioned amounts are inclusive of tax, i.e., they include any related tax or social security taxes.

More generally, GUESTRAVELER shall not be responsible for any tax returns that are applicable to the HOSTS, nor for any taxes that are applicable to the HOSTS, nor shall GUESTRAVELER be responsible for the remittance to the relevant authority of any taxes included or collected by the HOSTS.

– in order to operate, protect and improve the SERVICE,
– in order to analyze and publish the COMMENTS afterwards,
– in order to enable GUESTRAVELER to comply with its legal obligations, to resolve disputes and to ensure that the commitments of each party are respected, and to respond to requests from USERS and MEMBERS.
– if required, to conform with the applicable law or any other legal obligation,
The personal data collected on the PLATFORM and within the framework of the SERVICE shall, as a matter of principle, be used by GUESTRAVELER for the stated purpose.
11.5 Data retention period
Personal data is kept for the time necessary to fulfil the stated purpose. The time period that this data is stored for is, in principle, one year from the closure of an ACCOUNT, for MEMBERS’ personal data, except if a longer period is required under French tax and criminal law. In the case of an ACCOUNT remaining inactive for a period of three years (and in the absence of previous closure of the ACCOUNT by the MEMBER), the personal data related to the said MEMBER is deleted.
11.6 Data transfer outside the European Union
No international transfer of data to countries outside the European Union is implemented unless it has been authorized beforehand by decision from the competent authority and the external country ensures a suitable degree of protection, in accordance with the meaning of the provisions under article 40 of the European Directive no. 2016/679
In its capacity as a data controller, the GUESTRAVELER company ensures that the USER’s personal data is protected in accordance with the legislation in force within the European Union.
11.7 Technical and organizational measures
The GUESTRAVELER company commits to implementing technical and organizational measures that are appropriate and proportionate to the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing.
The processing of personal data collected on the SERVICE is subject to internal measures designed to ensure its compliance with the General Data Protection Regulations, via the implementation of suitable technical and organizational measures able to conform with the security and confidentiality of the data.
11.8 Data storage and security
In its capacity as data controller, GUESTRAVELER is responsible for the storage and security of the personal data of USERS and MEMBERS.
To this end, GUESTRAVELER uses subcontractors who are also obliged to comply with the legislation and regulations applicable to the protection of personal data. The GUESTRAVELER company uses the services of IMAGILE MH Communication, 171 rue Epron, 14200 Hérouville-Saint-Clair and ALWAYSDATA, 62 rue Tiquetonne, 75002 Paris, to ensure the security of the PLATFORM and the transactions that are formalized on it.
11.9 Procedure in case of failure
Any violation of personal data that the GUESTRAVELER company is made aware of and which would be likely to engender a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, is subject to a notification within 48 hours to the competent supervisory authority (Commission nationale Informatique & Libertés in France) and to the USER concerned.
11.10 Rights of USERS (and MEMBERS)
All USERS have the right to obtain confirmation from the GUESTRAVELER company as to whether the personal data about them is subject to processing.
In the event of an affirmative response, the individual concerned may request access to the personal data subject to processing and receive a copy of the aforementioned data as well as information relating to the processing undertaken (purposes, categories of data, recipients of the data, storage periods, etc.).
All USERS have the right to request that the personal data about them is, depending on the case, rectified, completed or deleted. In certain cases, the processing of data may be subject to a limitation instead of an erasure. Any USER can, under the same conditions, request the portability of the personal data collected by the GUESTRAVELER company.
However, when information communication requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, notably due to their repetitive nature within the meaning in article 12-5 of the EU Regulation no. 2016/679, the data controller can refuse to follow-up on the request and/or require payment of administrative fees inherent in this request.
The data controller has a response period of 1 (one) month from the date of receipt of the request, which must be accompanied by proof of the USER’s identity. If the request is incomplete the data controller has the right to request additional information: the time period is therefore suspended until the receipt of said information.
Finally, any USER can, at any time, whatever the motive, oppose the processing of personal data about him or her. In such a case, the data shall no longer be processed.
The USER has the right to request the limitation of the processing of his/her data by the site, without GUESTRAVELER being able to refuse, unless it can demonstrate the existence of legitimate and compelling reasons, which may take precedence over the interests, rights and freedoms of the USER.
Any request for access, rectification, completion, portability or deletion of the USER’s personal data may be made at any time and must be sent in writing, with the requester’s contact details and a copy of an identity document, by e-mail to the following address: confidentialité@guestraveler.com or by mail to the following address: GUESTRAVELER 73 rue Marie Curie, 14200 Hérouville Saint-Clair.
USERS maintain, under all circumstances and at any time, the right to oppose the processing of their personal data after the fact by expressing their refusal by e-mail to the above addresses, or even by using the dedicated automatic function present in each e-mail sent by the GUESTRAVELER company.
The GUESTRAVELER company informs USERS that they have the right to submit a complaint to the Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), 3, place de Fontenoy, TSA 80715 – 75334 Paris Cedex 07.

ARTICLE 14 – LIABILITY OF USERS AND MEMBERS
The USER (including the MEMBER) shall be solely responsible for his or her use of the PLATFORM, the SERVICE and the tools made available to him or her by GUESTRAVELER (in particular the APPLICATION and the WEBSITE). This means that the USER (and in particular the MEMBER) is solely responsible for the way in which he/she uses the PLATFORM and the SERVICE and for the way in which he/she engages towards the other MEMBERS, in particular during SHARES.

ARTICLE 15: THE GUESTRAVELER COMPANY’S LIABILITY
15.1 Technical liability
The GUESTRAVELER company is a technical intermediary in the context of connecting MEMBERS.
In this respect, GUESTRAVELER undertakes to make its best efforts to secure access and to ensure continuity of access to and use of the PLATFORM, 7 days a week and 24 hours a day, except in the event of force majeure or the occurrence of an event beyond the control of GUESTRAVELER, and subject to any breakdowns and maintenance operations necessary for the proper functioning of the PLATFORM. However, GUESTRAVELER shall not be held responsible for any interruption of all or part of the PLATFORM, whatever the cause, duration or frequency.
15.2 Limited liability as a platform
The GUESTRAVELER company provides a PLATFORM allowing USERS who wish to do so to become a MEMBER and its MEMBERS to offer or benefit from SHARES thanks to the SERVICE to which MEMBERS register, HOSTS can post ADVERTS and NOMADS can choose to subscribe to one or more SHARE(S) in return for a paying FEES.
GUESTRAVELER highlights that it is not in a position to verify either the identity of the MEMBERS or the SHARE ADVERTS or the operation of SHARES. GUESTRAVELER therefore does not guarantee any MEMBER, any ADVERT or any SHARE.
MEMBER DATA on the SERVICE is provided by MEMBERS when they complete their profile. GUESTRAVELER therefore provides no guarantee and assumes no liability for the accuracy, timeliness, completeness or content of the DATA relating to the MEMBERS, whether HOSTS or NOMADS, nor for the content of the ADVERTS or COMMENTS or the quality of the SHARES.
Its role is that of a PLATFORM offering a SERVICE limited to connecting MEMBERS and providing access to the PLATFORM and the SERVICE.
It therefore assumes the role of a platform that puts individuals in contact with each other in the context of their non-professional and non-commercial activities within the meaning of the regulations in force. In this respect, GUESTRAVELER is attentive to the notifications it receives from USERS and in particular those that MEMBERS may send to it following their experience of a SHARE.
In accordance with the provisions of the amended French law no. 2004-575 of 21 June 2004 on confidence in the digital economy, GUESTRAVELER undertakes to promptly remove any content (service or comment) that is clearly illicit and that it is notified about as soon as it becomes aware of it.
Notification of manifestly illegal content must be done through the technical device on the PLATFORM, via email to the following address: contact@guestraveler.com or via registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt to the following address: GUESTRAVELER 73 rue Marie Curie, 14200 Hérouville-Daint-Clair.
In any event, to be valid, the notification must meet all the elements detailed in article 6 I 5 of the aforementioned French law of 21 June 2004 as amended:
– the notification date;
– if the notifier is a natural person: their surname, first names, address, nationality, date and place of birth; if the claimant is a legal person: its structure, its designation, its head office and the body which represents it legally;
– the names and address of the addressee or, if it is a legal person, its designation and its head office;
– the description of the disputed facts and their precise location;
– the reasons that the content must be removed, including the mention of the legal provisions and proof of facts;
– the copy of the correspondence addressed to the author or publisher of the disputed information or content requesting its interruption, removal or modification, or the proof that the author or publisher was not able to be contacted.
The GUESTRAVELER company is not, however, bound under the aforementioned French law of 21 June 2004 as amended on the digital economy, to any general obligation to monitor the information and content accessible on the PLATFORM, nor to any obligation to search for facts or circumstances revealing illicit activities.
In the event that a USER or a MEMBER has knowledge of acts on the PLATFORM contrary to moral standards, or of acts inciting proselytism, racial hatred, or child pornography and, more generally, acts with unlawful connotations and of such a nature as to offend human dignity, he/she is required to alert the GUESTRAVELER company and provide indications allowing the company to identify the acts and/or their instigator by clicking on the button for this provided for him/her on the PLATFORM.
15.3 No liability in the use of the PLATFORM and the SERVICE by USERS and MEMBERS
The GUESTRAVELER company provides the NOHÔ service with no guarantee of any nature. Notably the GUESTRAVELER company does not guarantee that the details of HOSTS listed on the PLATFORM or the SERVICE are exempt from any errors. GUESTRAVELER is not responsible for the SHARES provided by the HOSTS, its role being exclusively to provide a platform for MEMBERS to connect and communicate with each other.
The GUESTRAVELER company is not party to any agreement made between the MEMBERS who are acting exclusively in their own name and on their own behalf. Any agreement made between a HOST and a NOMAD is the sole responsibility of the HOST and the NOMAD.
15.5 GUESTRAVELER shall not be liable for the content of sites to which links are provided
The PLATFORM or the SERVICE may contain links to third party websites. These links are provided with no guarantee. The GUESTRAVELER company is not responsible for the content of these websites. The USER assumes all the risks resulting from his or her use of external websites.
GUESTRAVELER IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM, APPLICATIONS, WEBSITE, PLATFORM OR SERVICE OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM OR SERVICE.
ARTICLE 16 – FORCE MAJEURE
GUESTRAVELER may not be held liable in the case of an event of force majeure, as defined in article 1218 of the French Civil Code. Any malfunction of telecommunications networks (and notably the internet) is assimilated to a case of force majeure. USERS are informed of the hazards inherent in modern telecommunications networks, notably the possibility of various and varied breakdowns. The GUESTRAVELER company cannot be held liable in this respect.
ARTICLE 17 – NOTIFICATIONS
Any notification under these T&Cs shall be made by simple e-mail to the following address contact@guestraveler.com,
which is formally accepted by USERS (including MEMBERS) or by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt, or by electronic registered mail addressed to GUESTRAVEL’s registered office.
ARTICLE 18 – RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES
These T&Cs and any action concerning them shall be governed by French law, which under article 17 of the French law no. 2004-575 of 21 June 2004 is the law of the country of origin of the service offered by the GUESTRAVELER company, and which will prevail over any other national legislation.

Any MEMBER not resident in France or not based in France having contracted a SHARE on the SERVICE accessible on the platform, will have to demonstrate, in order to obtain from the judge the application of his or her own law, that the French law is less favorable than that of his or her country.
Prior to any legal action, and except in the case of special provisions of Public Order, any disputes that may arise in the context of the execution of these T&Cs must be submitted to the GUESTRAVELER company’s assessment with a view to an amicable settlement either by e-mail to the following address contact@guestraveler.com, or by mail to the head office of the company.
In the event that a claim is unsuccessful or in the absence of a response from GUESTRAVELER within two (2) months, USERS based in the European Union shall have the option of submitting the dispute to a mediator by consulting the website of the Commission d’Evaluation et de Contrôle de la Médiation de la Consommation CECMC (Consumer Mediation Evaluation and Monitoring Committee) or by connecting to the European platform for the settlement of online disputes, which can be accessed via the following link: https://ec.europa.eu.
USERS (including MEMBERS) based in FRANCE will have the option of submitting the dispute to mediation by contacting the Association Nationale des Médiateurs (ANM) or by post by writing to 62, rue Tiquetonne 75002 PARIS or by email via filling in the online submission form at the following address: www.anm-conso.com
