If you do not agree to this Agreement, you must not use the Venue Tools.
This Agreement incorporates the Data Processing Addendum and the Acceptable Use Policy. Section 22 includes waivers of jury trial and class and representative proceedings, and limits the time to bring claims.

3.5 Automated Features
The Services may issue Quotes, apply prices, taxes, charges, fees, and discounts, accept or decline Bookings, hold or release availability, send messages, and take other actions automatically based on your settings and the information in your Listing. You are responsible for your settings and for any Quote, Booking, or other result that the Services generate from them, and you are bound by any Quote the Services issue on your behalf.
3.6 Features That Use Artificial Intelligence
The Services may include features that use artificial intelligence or other automated tools, for example to draft or format content, suggest prices or responses, or review content. Output from these features may be inaccurate or incomplete. You are responsible for reviewing any output before you use or publish it.

5.5 Your Rights in Venue Content
You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights, licenses, consents, and releases needed to grant the license in Section 5.4, including the consent of any person shown or named in Venue Content, and that Venue Content and its use as permitted by this Agreement will not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other right of any person or violate Applicable Law.
5.6 Reviews and Feedback from Hosts
The Services may allow Hosts to rate or review venues, and Booking with Ava may display, moderate, or remove ratings and reviews at its discretion. You must not offer incentives for reviews or manipulate reviews except as Applicable Law permits and Booking with Ava's policies allow.
6. AVAILABILITY, QUOTES, AND BOOKINGS
6.1 Availability and Quotes
You are responsible for keeping your availability, capacities, and settings in the Venue Tools accurate. A Quote is your offer to provide the Booking described in it, on the terms of the Quote and your Host-Facing Terms. When a Host accepts a Quote in the manner described in the Terms of Service, the Booking is confirmed, and you must honor it.
6.2 Requests
You may accept or decline Requests in your discretion, subject to Applicable Law and Section 6.6. Booking with Ava may pass on to the Host any reason you give for a decline.
6.3 Bookings You Create
If you create a Booking for a Host through the Services or enter a Host's contact details, you represent and warrant that the Host has asked you to do so or has otherwise agreed to be contacted about the Booking, and that you are permitted under Applicable Law to give those details to Booking with Ava and to have Booking with Ava contact the Host about the Booking.
6.4 Changes and Cancellations
You must handle change requests, cancellations, and refunds in accordance with your Host-Facing Terms, the Quote, and Applicable Law. If you cannot provide a confirmed Booking, you must notify the Host and Booking with Ava promptly, offer any remedy required by your Host-Facing Terms and Applicable Law, and issue any refund owed. Booking with Ava may cancel a Booking, release its date and time, or issue a refund on your behalf as described in Sections 7.7, 18.3, and 18.4.
6.5 Host-Facing Terms and Booking Agreements
You are responsible for your Host-Facing Terms, including their content, clarity, enforceability, and compliance with Applicable Law, and for providing them to Hosts before a Booking is confirmed. Your Host-Facing Terms must be consistent with the Quote and must not impose any obligation or liability on Booking with Ava. The Services may allow you to require Hosts to accept a booking agreement and to sign it electronically. Booking with Ava may present the agreement, collect the Host's electronic signature, and keep a record of the signature and related information, and may make that record available to you, to the Host, and as required by law. Booking with Ava does not provide legal advice and does not warrant that any booking agreement, signature, or record will be valid, enforceable, or sufficient for your purposes.
6.6 Non-Discrimination and Accessibility
You must not decline, cancel, price, or otherwise treat any Request, Booking, or Host differently on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, age, or any other characteristic protected by Applicable Law. You are responsible for complying with accessibility laws that apply to your premises and services and for the accuracy of any accessibility information in your Listing.
6.7 Payments Outside the Services
You must not ask or encourage a Host to make, or accept from a Host, any payment for a Booking outside the Services, except for amounts that the Terms of Service or the Booking contemplate will be settled directly between you and the Host, such as purchases made by guests at the gathering, minimum spend shortfalls, and additional charges incurred at the gathering. During the term of this Agreement and for twelve (12) months after a Host first contacts you or submits a Request through the Services, you must not book that Host for a Space or event outside the Services in order to avoid Booking with Ava Fees. If you do, you must pay Booking with Ava the Booking with Ava Fees that would have applied had the Booking been made through the Services, and Booking with Ava may deduct that amount as described in Section 7.9.
7. PAYMENTS
7.1 Payment Processing
Payments for Bookings are processed by Stripe or another payment processor that Booking with Ava selects. Depending on your setup, payments for your Bookings are made either through your own Payment Account, as described in Section 7.3, or through a Designated Collection Account, as described in Section 7.4. Booking with Ava may determine which arrangement applies to your Bookings and may change it, including by requiring you to set up a Payment Account.
7.2 Payment Information and Verification
You must provide Booking with Ava and its payment processors with accurate and complete information about you, your business, your beneficial owners, and your bank account, and update it as needed. You authorize Booking with Ava to share information about you, your business, your Team Members, your Bookings, and your transactions with its payment processors, banks, card networks, and fraud-prevention services, and to obtain information about you from them, to provide the Services, verify your identity and eligibility, comply with Applicable Law and Card Network Rules, and prevent fraud and loss.
7.3 Payment Accounts with Stripe
If you use a Payment Account:
- Payment processing services for venues on Booking with Ava are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the "Stripe Services Agreement"). By agreeing to this Agreement or continuing to operate as a venue on Booking with Ava, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of Booking with Ava enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide Booking with Ava accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize Booking with Ava to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.
- Stripe processes your personal data as described in the Stripe Privacy Policy. Information about Stripe's acquiring partners is available in Stripe's acquirer disclosure.
- You are the merchant of record for payments for your Bookings made through your Payment Account.
- You authorize Booking with Ava to access and use data about your Payment Account, including its balance, transactions, payouts, disputes, and verification status, and to take the following actions on your behalf through your Payment Account: create and manage payments, customers, and saved payment methods for your Bookings; collect Booking with Ava Fees and any Host service fees; issue refunds; respond to and manage disputes, including by submitting evidence; set and change the timing and frequency of payouts, initiate payouts, and hold or delay payouts; and recover amounts you owe Booking with Ava as described in Section 7.9.
- Booking with Ava may restrict your ability to disconnect Booking with Ava's access to your Payment Account, or to view, access, or activate certain features of it, while any Booking, refund, dispute, reserve, or amount owed under this Agreement remains outstanding.
- Your relationship with Stripe is governed by the Stripe Services Agreement. Booking with Ava is not responsible for Stripe's acts or omissions, including any decision by Stripe to restrict, suspend, or close your Payment Account or to delay or withhold funds.
7.4 Designated Collection Account: Limited Payment Collection Agent
If payments for any of your Bookings are collected through a Designated Collection Account:
- You appoint Booking with Ava, and any affiliate, predecessor, or other person that owns or controls a Designated Collection Account (each acting as Booking with Ava's sub-agent), as your limited agent solely to accept payments from Hosts for those Bookings on your behalf, to hold those payments pending remittance, and to remit the net amounts to you as described in this Agreement.
- A Host's payment to Booking with Ava, or into the Designated Collection Account, for a Booking satisfies the Host's obligation to pay you for that Booking to the extent of the payment, whether or not Booking with Ava remits the amount to you. You must not seek payment from the Host for any amount that Booking with Ava has received for the Booking.
- You remain the seller of the venue services and are responsible for the Booking as described in Section 3.2.
- Booking with Ava's obligation to remit amounts to you arises only when Booking with Ava has received the funds in settled form and is subject to this Agreement, including Booking with Ava's rights to deduct Fees, refunds, disputes, chargebacks, reserves, and other amounts you owe.
- Amounts collected for you may be held in accounts in the name of Booking with Ava or its affiliate, predecessor, or designee and may be held together with funds collected for others. You are not entitled to interest or other earnings on these amounts. Booking with Ava is not a bank, trustee, fiduciary, or escrow agent, and holding these amounts does not create a trust or fiduciary relationship.
- Booking with Ava may end the use of a Designated Collection Account for your Bookings at any time and may require you to set up a Payment Account to continue receiving payments through the Services.
7.5 Host Payment Authorizations
The Services may allow Hosts to save a payment method and authorize scheduled payments under a Booking's payment schedule, as described in the Terms of Service. You must not charge, or ask Booking with Ava to charge, a Host's payment method for any amount outside the Host's authorization, including minimum spend shortfalls, damage, incidentals, or additional charges, unless the Host has given a separate authorization that complies with Applicable Law and Card Network Rules. A Host may withdraw an authorization for future charges, and a scheduled charge may fail. Booking with Ava does not guarantee that any scheduled payment will be collected.
7.6 Payouts
Booking with Ava, or its payment processor at Booking with Ava's direction, may pay out amounts collected for your Bookings, less Fees and other amounts deducted under this Agreement, to the bank account associated with your Payment Account or that you designate for a Designated Collection Account. Booking with Ava may determine the timing, frequency, and amount of payouts, which may depend on factors including the date and status of the Booking, the payment status, refunds and disputes, your account history and risk profile, verification status, and the requirements of payment processors and Card Network Rules. Booking with Ava may delay, hold, or adjust a payout to investigate suspected fraud, error, a breach of this Agreement, or a risk of loss, or as required by Applicable Law or a payment processor. You must review payouts and payout reports and notify Booking with Ava of any error promptly. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Booking with Ava is not liable to you for any delay, hold, or adjustment of a payout made under this Section 7.6, but this does not limit Booking with Ava's obligation to remit amounts due to you under this Section 7, net of amounts Booking with Ava is entitled to deduct or recover, once the delay or hold ends.
7.7 Refunds
You are responsible for refunds owed to Hosts under your Host-Facing Terms, the Quote, and Applicable Law. You authorize Booking with Ava to issue refunds to Hosts for your Bookings, in whole or in part, on your behalf: (a) when you instruct or approve the refund through the Services or otherwise; (b) when a Booking that a Host has paid for cannot be confirmed or provided; (c) when Booking with Ava reasonably believes that a refund is required by your Host-Facing Terms, Applicable Law, or Card Network Rules; or (d) when Booking with Ava reasonably believes that a refund is appropriate to prevent or resolve fraud, a dispute, or a chargeback. You are responsible for the amount of each refund. Booking with Ava Fees and any fees charged by payment processors may be non-refundable to you, even when the Host's payment is refunded, except as an Order Form provides otherwise.
7.8 Disputes and Chargebacks
You are responsible for all disputes, chargebacks, reversals, and returns relating to your Bookings, and for the related fees, fines, penalties, and costs imposed by payment processors or card networks, whatever their outcome. Booking with Ava may, but is not required to, contest a dispute or chargeback, and may decide how to respond, including by submitting information about the Booking, your Host-Facing Terms, communications, and signature records. You must cooperate with Booking with Ava and provide information and evidence promptly when asked. Booking with Ava may accept a dispute or chargeback on your behalf where it reasonably believes that contesting it is unlikely to succeed or would be inappropriate.
7.9 Amounts You Owe, Set-Off, and Recovery
You must pay Booking with Ava, on demand, all Fees, refunds, disputes, chargebacks, reversals, fees, fines, penalties, negative balances, overpayments, and other amounts that you owe under this Agreement or that Booking with Ava pays or incurs in connection with your Bookings or your Payment Account. Booking with Ava may recover these amounts, in any order and combination, by: (a) deducting them from amounts collected for you or from any payout; (b) debiting the balance of your Payment Account or reversing transfers or payouts made to it; (c) charging or debiting any payment method or bank account that you have provided to Booking with Ava or its payment processor, and you authorize these charges and debits; (d) setting them off against any amount that Booking with Ava or its affiliates owe you under this or any other agreement; or (e) invoicing you, in which case you must pay within the time stated in the invoice. Amounts not paid when due may accrue interest at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month and the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law, and you must reimburse Booking with Ava's reasonable costs of collection, including attorneys' fees.
7.10 Reserves and Holds
Booking with Ava may require a reserve, or may hold all or part of the amounts collected for you or in your Payment Account, in an amount and for a period that Booking with Ava determines in its reasonable discretion, to secure your obligations under this Agreement, including where Booking with Ava reasonably believes that there is an elevated risk of refunds, disputes, chargebacks, fraud, non-performance of Bookings, or a breach of this Agreement, or where your account is being closed. Booking with Ava may use reserved or held amounts to pay any amount you owe under this Agreement. Booking with Ava may continue to hold a reserve after this Agreement ends until it reasonably determines that the related risk has passed. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Booking with Ava is not liable to you for any reserve or hold that it requires or maintains, or for its use of reserved or held amounts, under this Section 7.10, but this does not limit Booking with Ava's obligation to remit amounts due to you under Section 7 once the reserve or hold is released.
7.11 Errors
If Booking with Ava or its payment processor pays you an amount in error or more than you are owed, you must repay it, and Booking with Ava may recover it as described in Section 7.9. If you believe that you have been underpaid, you must notify Booking with Ava with reasonable detail.

9.2 Marketplace Facilitator Laws
Where Applicable Law requires or permits Booking with Ava to calculate, collect, or remit taxes on Bookings as a marketplace facilitator or otherwise, Booking with Ava may do so, may adjust the amounts charged to Hosts and remitted to you accordingly, and may require tax information from you.

On Booking with Ava's request, you must provide evidence of this insurance and, where Booking with Ava reasonably requests, have Booking with Ava named as an additional insured. Booking with Ava does not provide insurance for you, Hosts, or guests.

Booking with Ava may communicate with Hosts and other users about the Services and Bookings, including messages about Requests, Quotes, confirmations, payments, changes, and cancellations, and Booking with Ava's own marketing, as described in the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy. Booking with Ava may decide the content, timing, and channel of its own communications and may include your Listing information and Host-Facing Terms in them.
11.2 Your Messages
The Services may allow you to send emails, text messages, or other communications to Hosts, customers, and other contacts, including messages about Bookings, follow-ups, and marketing or promotional messages. Booking with Ava does not control your messaging. You alone decide whether, when, to whom, and what to send, and you are the sender of each message that you send or schedule through the Services, or that the Services send at your direction or based on your settings. This remains true when a message is sent from a phone number, sender name, email address, or domain that Booking with Ava provides or designates, or when a message refers to Booking with Ava or links to a page on the Services.
11.3 Your Messaging Compliance
You are solely responsible for your messages and for complying with all laws and industry rules that apply to them, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and its regulations, the Telemarketing Sales Rule, the CAN-SPAM Act, state telemarketing, text messaging, and anti-spam laws, do-not-call rules, and the guidelines of the CTIA and of wireless carriers. You must obtain and keep records of every consent that Applicable Law requires before you send a message, identify yourself as the sender, include any required opt-out mechanism and physical address, honor opt-out and do-not-contact requests promptly, and respect any time-of-day and frequency limits. You must not send messages to anyone who has not consented where consent is required, or to anyone who has opted out.
11.4 Booking with Ava's Controls
Booking with Ava may apply automated and manual checks to messages and campaigns to enforce its policies, the requirements of carriers and messaging providers, and Applicable Law, and may delay, block, modify the routing of, or decline to send any message, suspend messaging features, or require additional information or registration. Booking with Ava may maintain a platform-wide suppression list and may suppress messages to any recipient who has opted out of messages through the Services or whose contact details Booking with Ava has reason to believe should not be contacted. Booking with Ava's application of these controls does not make Booking with Ava the sender of your messages, does not mean that Booking with Ava has reviewed or approved them, and does not relieve you of your responsibility for them.
11.5 Senders and Registrations
Phone numbers, sender names, email addresses, and domains that Booking with Ava provides or designates for your use remain Booking with Ava's or its providers' property, and Booking with Ava may change, reassign, or withdraw them. You must provide accurate information for any brand, campaign, or sender registration that carriers or messaging providers require, and you authorize Booking with Ava to submit that information on your behalf.
12. DATA PROTECTION
12.1 Data Processing Addendum
The Data Processing Addendum forms part of this Agreement and governs personal information that Booking with Ava processes on your behalf.
12.2 Host Data
Host Data is collected by Booking with Ava through its own flows, and Booking with Ava is an independent controller and business with respect to it. Booking with Ava may use Host Data for its own purposes as described in its Privacy Policy, including to provide, improve, and promote the Services and to market other venues and services to Hosts. When Booking with Ava makes Host Data available to you, you receive it as an independent controller and business, and you are solely responsible for your collection, use, disclosure, retention, and protection of it, and for complying with Applicable Law and your own privacy notice in doing so. You must use Host Data only as permitted by Applicable Law and, where you use it for marketing, only with any consent Applicable Law requires. You must honor opt-out and other requests that Hosts make to you, and any opt-out signals or suppression instructions that Booking with Ava passes to you.
12.3 Customer Records and Other Data You Provide
When you enter, upload, import, or sync personal information into the Services, or direct Booking with Ava to process personal information on your behalf, including customer records, contact lists, notes, message recipients, and data from Third-Party Services that you connect, Booking with Ava acts as your processor and service provider for that information, as described in the Data Processing Addendum. You represent and warrant that you have provided all notices, obtained all consents, and have all rights required by Applicable Law for Booking with Ava to process that information as contemplated by this Agreement.
12.4 Analytics and Advertising Tags
The Services may allow you to add analytics, advertising, or similar tags or pixels to your Listing pages. If you do, you are responsible for the tags, for the information they collect, for your and the tag providers' use of that information, and for providing any notice, obtaining any consent, and honoring any opt-out that Applicable Law requires. Booking with Ava may limit, delay, or block your tags, including to apply users' privacy choices.
12.5 Usage and Aggregated Data
Booking with Ava may collect and use information about the use and performance of the Services, including information about your use of the Venue Tools and your Bookings, and may create and use aggregated or de-identified data from any information processed through the Services, for any lawful purpose, including to provide, analyze, develop, and improve the Services and Booking with Ava's other products and services. Booking with Ava owns that information and data.
13. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
13.1 Generally
The Services may rely on or interoperate with Third-Party Services. Your use of a Third-Party Service is governed by its own terms and privacy policy.

13.2 Services You Connect
If you connect a Third-Party Service to the Services, you authorize Booking with Ava to access, exchange, and process data with that service on your behalf, as needed to provide the features you use. You are responsible for your account with that service, for complying with its terms, and for having all rights and consents needed for the data exchanged.

You may disclose Confidential Information when required by law or legal process. Personal information is governed by Section 12 and the Data Processing Addendum rather than by this Section 15. Nothing in this Section 15 limits Booking with Ava's rights under Sections 5, 12, and 16.

Booking with Ava and its licensors own all right, title, and interest in and to the Services, including the Venue Tools, software, designs, Listing formats, data compilations, the Booking with Ava name and brands, and all related intellectual property rights.
