VENDOR TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

Last updated: October 14, 2023

 

These Vendor Terms and Conditions (the "Terms and Conditions") govern and are incorporated into the Vendor Agreement between Hijinks and Vendor (collectively, the "Agreement"). Hijinks, subject to the terms of this paragraph, may amend and modify the Agreement in its sole discretion and at any time. The most recent version of the Terms and Conditions will be available on the Website and, when the Terms and Conditions are updated, notification of such updates will be emailed to Vendor at the email address provided in Vendor's user account ("Vendor Account"). Vendor agrees that this notification method constitutes adequate notice to inform Vendor of any amendments to the Agreement and Vendor expressly agrees to be bound by any such amended Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Vendor Agreement.

 

1.     Experiences

 

1.1.  Hijinks is authorized to promote and sell Experiences on behalf of Vendor and subject to the terms of this Agreement. Hijinks will sell Experiences through an integration with the Vendor's booking software or issue a Booking Code to evidence purchaser's purchase of an Experience, which will be sent to the purchaser electronically once payment is received. Purchaser will then redeem the Booking Code with Vendor by presenting the Booking Code in paper, electronic or other form. Vendor is the provider and seller of Experiences.

 

1.2.  Hijinks is authorized to promote and sell Experiences and Booking Codes on Vendor's behalf through any platform, including the Website, in Hijinks' sole discretion. The Experiences may be offered through a variety of distribution channels, including the Internet, the Website, affiliate websites, email, mobile applications and other types of electronic platforms and distribution channels.

 

1.3.  For advance-appointment Experiences, Hijinks may, in its sole discretion, require Vendor to provide Hijinks with a calendar of available appointment times and allow Experience purchasers to schedule appointments through Hijinks and any third party service Hijinks may use. Hijinks may audit Vendor response times using various audit methods. If Hijinks, in its sole discretion, determines that Vendor's response time or the quality of service provided to Experience purchaser's is unsatisfactory, Hijinks may terminate the Agreement and return the purchaser's payment for unredeemed Experiences.

 

1.4.  Hijinks reserves the right to reject, revise, or discontinue any Experience offered by Hijinks or through the Website, at any time and for any reason in Hijinks' sole discretion, and to terminate any Experience and to remove all references to any Experience from the Website, and to redirect or delete any URL used in connection with any Experience.

 

1.5.  Vendor shall honor and accept the Booking Codes provided by Hijinks to purchasers. If the Experience purchased and evidenced by a Booking Code is no longer available, Vendor must always allow the purchaser to redeem the Booking Code towards any other goods and services offered by Vendor at that time, at least in an amount equivalent to the amount of the purchaser's payment for the Booking Code ("Purchase Amount"). If applicable, and if a purchaser redeems a Booking Code for less than the Purchase Amount, the Vendor is responsible for handling any unredeemed value as required by applicable law.

 

1.6.  Vendor agrees and acknowledges that Vendor shall not, in providing an Experience or in redeeming a Booking Code, inflate prices or impose any additional charges, fees, conditions or restrictions that contradict or are inconsistent with the terms of the Experience and Booking Code. Vendor agrees and acknowledges that it shall not impose different terms or a different cancellation policy than what is imposed on its non-Hijinks customers.

 

1.7.  Vendor is responsible for all purchaser service in connection with an Experience and Booking Code and for supplying all goods and services associated with an Experience. Vendor is also responsible for any purchaser loyalty programs associated with an Experience.

 

1.8.  Vendor is responsible for informing Hijinks of any inaccuracies or changes in the Experiences listed on the Website, including, without limitation, the price of the Experience. Vendor agrees to provide Hijinks with accurate hours and dates of operation, complete with any exceptions, and a valid phone number for the Vendor's applicable locations. If any of the information related to a Vendor's applicable location changes, Vendor agrees to notify Hijinks immediately of such change.

 

1.9.  Vendor agrees to accept refunds, returns or cancellations of Experiences in compliance with applicable laws, but in any event: (i) will accept returns for nonconforming Experiences at all times and pay (or reimburse a purchaser for) any and all costs associated with the return of such Experience; and (ii) will not impose a more restrictive return policy on purchasers than Vendor's regular return policy as applied to Vendor's purchasers in the ordinary course of Vendor's business.

 

2.     Payment

 

2.1.  The Commissions retained by Hijinks from the proceeds of the Purchase Amount are compensation to Hijinks for marketing, promotion and advertising the Experience, as well as distribution of the Booking Codes on behalf of Vendor. Vendor agrees to retain the Remittance in trust for the benefit of any purchasers who hold unredeemed Booking Codes until the Vendor provides the Experience and redeems the Booking Code, refunds the purchaser of any unredeemed Booking Code, or otherwise escheats the amount required to the applicable taxing authority, if applicable. The amount held in trust shall be returned to Hijinks upon demand for refunds to purchasers. Hijinks is authorized to review Vendor's credit history, including a soft credit check.

 

2.2.  Hijinks and its third-party partners are authorized to initiate ACH credit transaction entries to Vendor's depository account at the depository financial institution named in this Agreement or as otherwise provided to Hijinks by Vendor in writing (the "Vendor Bank Account"). In (i) the event of an error or (ii) to facilitate a customer refund, Hijinks and its third party partners are authorized to initiate debit entry adjustments to the Vendor Bank Account to correct such error or facilitate such customer refund. Vendor agrees and acknowledges that Hijinks' ACH transactions to Vendor Bank Account must comply with provisions of applicable law and that ACH payments may take at least six (6) business days to become available after processing.

 

2.3.  Vendor shall not attempt to bill or collect reimbursement from any third-party payor, including, without limitation, any insurer, health insurance plan, Medicare, Medicaid, or any other federal, state, provincial, territorial or local governmental program or entity ("Third-Party Payor"), for any of Vendor's services, including, but not limited to, the Experiences. Vendor will accept the Remittance as payment in full for all services provided by Vendor. Vendor is solely responsible for complying with any contractual requirements imposed by its contracts with Third-Party Payors, including, without limitation, any requirements related to offering discounted services.

 

2.4.  In the event Hijinks receives written notice of a validly issued tax levy, whether state, provincial or federal, relating to past-due taxes owed by Vendor, Hijinks may, in accordance with applicable law, deduct any such amounts from payments due to Vendor.

 

2.5.  Hijinks shall collect tax on the Purchase Amount. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2, Hijinks shall remit the applicable tax on its Commission to the appropriate tax authority and will pass the balance of the tax on the purchase to Vendor via the Remittance, for Vendor to remit or apply as applicable to the appropriate tax authority. It is Vendor's responsibility to report and remit the correct tax due to the appropriate tax authority. Hijinks is not responsible for reporting or remitting any taxes required to be reported or remitted by Vendor. Vendor may be asked to provide Hijinks with a valid Tax Identification Number for tax reporting purposes. An IRS Form 1099 may be issued in Vendor's name for the value of payments made. Vendor shall be, and will remain, registered for sales, use and other similar tax collection purposes in all states and localities in which Vendor is required to be so registered in connection with the Experience and pursuant to the terms and redemption of the Experience. Vendor shall be responsible for paying any and all sales, use or any other taxes related to the Experience or the goods and services associated therewith.

 

2.6.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.5, Vendor bears the sole financial responsibility for any and all sales, use, excise, general, GST, or other such and similar taxes, including any related interest penalties and additions imposed on or arising from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement between Hijinks and Vendor, if any. Tax rates are subject to change.

 

2.7.  Hijinks may be required by taxing authorities to withhold taxes on behalf of Vendor. Hijinks reserves the right to deduct any and all such taxes from amounts due to Vendor and to remit such amounts to the appropriate taxing authority. Hijinks may also be required to report withholding tax payments to the appropriate taxing authorities. Hijinks shall provide evidence of payment of withholding taxes to Vendor no later than 60 days after payment of withholding taxes.

 

2.8.  Hijinks, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, will have no obligation to advance amounts that have been paid to Hijinks by a purchaser until Vendor has complied with Vendor's obligations and requirements under this Agreement. If Hijinks reasonably believes that Vendor has breached any provisions of this Agreement, Hijinks may, in its sole discretion, delay, offset, withhold or suspend future payments to Vendor. If Vendor is unwilling to, or in Hijinks' reasonable discretion is unable to, perform its obligations under this Agreement, Hijinks is authorized to delay, offset, withhold or suspend future payments to Vendor in addition to such other remedies as may be available under this Agreement or at law, to secure payment from Vendor for any refunds and/or other amounts payable by Vendor under this Agreement.

 

2.9.  Payment processing services for Vendor on the Website are provided by Stripe, Inc. ("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 Vendor, 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 Hijinks enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide Hijinks accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize Hijinks to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.
