Members are required by these Terms to provide accurate information, and although ExpatGenius may undertake additional checks and processes designed to help verify or check the identities or backgrounds of users, we do not make any representations about, confirm, or endorse any Member or the Member's purported identity or background.
Any references in the Site, Application or Services to a Member being "verified" or "connected" (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification process, and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by ExpatGenius about any Member, including of the Member's identity and whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable.

Accordingly, we encourage you to communicate directly with other Members on the Site and Services regarding any bookings or Listings made by you.
The Site, Application and Services can be used to facilitate the listing and booking of Services for Expats.
Such Services are included in Listings on the Site, Application and Services by Geniuses.

As stated above, ExpatGenius makes available an online platform or marketplace with related technology for Expats and Geniuses to meet online and arrange for bookings of Services directly with each other. ExpatGenius is not an owner or operator of properties, nor is it a provider of services. Unless explicitly specified otherwise in the ExpatGenius platform, ExpatGenius' responsibilities are limited to facilitating the availability of the Site, Application and Services.
PLEASE NOTE THAT, AS STATED ABOVE, THE SITE, APPLICATION AND SERVICES ARE INTENDED TO BE USED TO FACILITATE GENIUSES AND EXPATS CONNECTING AND BOOKING SERVICES DIRECTLY WITH EACH OTHER.

As a Genius, you may create Listings.

In order to be featured in Listings via the Site, Application and Services, all Services must have been reviewed and approved by ExpatGenius team. Listings will be made publicly available via the Site, Application and Services. You understand and agree that the placement or ranking of Listings in search results may depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, Expats and Geniuses preferences, ratings and/or ease of booking.
Other Members will be able to book your Services via the Site, Application and Services based upon the information provided in your Listing, your requirements, and Expats' search parameters and preferences. You understand and agree that once a Expat receives a Quote for your Services, you may not request the Expat to pay a higher price than in the Quote sent.
You acknowledge and agree that you alone are responsible for any and all Listings and Member Content you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Listing you post and the booking of, or a Expat's service in a Listing you post (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws, Tax requirements, Intellectual Property laws, and rules and regulations that may apply to any service included in a Listing you post (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties. Please note that ExpatGenius assumes no responsibility for a Genius' compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations.

If, as a Expat, you wish to cancel a confirmed booking made via the Site, Application and Services, either prior to or after the date selected for consuming the Services, you must agree with the Genius about Refund possibilities.

Some Geniuses may pledge to donate a portion of the funds they receive from confirmed bookings made via the Site, Application and Services to a particular cause or charity. We do not take any responsibility or liability for whether the Genius does in fact make the donation he or she pledged to make. In such cases, the Genius in question is responsible for his or her own compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to such pledges and/or fund-raising.
You as a Expat or as a Genius are responsible for any modifications to a booking and you agree to pay any Services Fees and/or Taxes associated with such Booking Modifications.
Tax regulations may require us to collect appropriate tax information from our Geniuses, or to withhold taxes from payouts to Geniuses, or both.

You are also solely responsible for remitting to the relevant authority any Taxes included or received by you. ExpatGenius cannot and does not offer Tax-related advice to any Members.
You understand and acknowledge that appropriate governmental agencies, departments or authorities (the "Tax Authority") where your Services is located may require Taxes to be collected from Expats or Geniuses on the amount paid for the right to use of Services, and to be remitted to the respective Tax Authority. The laws in jurisdictions may vary, but these taxes may be required to be collected and remitted as a percentage of the Services Fees set by Geniuses, a set amount per day, or other variations.
ExpatGenius's online platform facilitates bookings between Expats and Geniuses who may prefer to pay in a currency different from their destination currency, which may require foreign currency conversions to accommodate these differing currency preferences. Although the ExpatGenius platform allows users to view the price of Listings in a number of currencies, the currencies available for users to make and receive payments may be limited, and may not include the default currency in any given geographic location.
