3.4 Conclusion of Contract
When a Customer purchases Services via the KinzyTrip Platform, the Customer purchases Services directly from Supplier pursuant to the Supplier-Customer Contract, concluded on Supplier’s part by KinzyTrip acting as a commercial agent of the Supplier in the name and on behalf of Supplier. Supplier appoints and authorizes KinzyTrip (and its Distribution Partners) as its commercial agent to conclude the Supplier-Customer Contract with Customers in the name and on behalf of the Supplier, manage and cancel Bookings, and make full or partial refunds to Customers, as set forth in this Agreement. KinzyTrip may decide to reject the conclusion of the Supplier-Customer Contract within its sole discretion (e.g., in the case of potential fraud or compliance concerns).
3.5 Payment Collection
Supplier instructs KinzyTrip as its commercial agent to collect payments from Customers in the name and on behalf of Supplier. KinzyTrip may from time to time, acting in its sole discretion, appoint such Sub-Commercial Agent as it sees fit to receive those payments directly from Customers and to make onward payment of those sums successfully received to Supplier. In particular, for any payment from a US Customer, Supplier appoints KinzyTrip Operations as its limited payment agent solely for the purpose of directly accepting such payments on behalf of Supplier and to make onward payment of those sums to KinzyTrip. Supplier agrees that receipt of payment for the sum due from a Customer by KinzyTrip, or its Sub-Commercial Agent (including KinzyTrip Operations), as applicable, shall extinguish Customer's payment obligation to Supplier. Supplier agrees that payment made by a Customer to KinzyTrip or its Sub-Commercial Agent (including KinzyTrip Operations), as applicable, through the KinzyTrip Platform shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to Supplier, and Supplier will provide Services to Customers in the agreed-upon manner as if Supplier had received the Customers’ funds directly. Supplier acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no recourse against a Customer once the funds are tendered to KinzyTrip or its Sub-Commercial Agent (including KinzyTrip Operations), as applicable. KinzyTrip uses a Payment Service Provider to process payments from Customers; in some cases, a Distribution Partner and in certain countries an Affiliate may be appointed as a Sub-Commercial Agent. KinzyTrip will bear the credit card and banking fees for the receipt of payment from Customers, provided that KinzyTrip may charge Customers a foreign exchange fee if applicable. The payment will be collected in the currency indicated by Supplier in the Product Offer.
3.6 Changes
Customers sometimes make mistakes when making reservations. Subject to availability, KinzyTrip may change the date, time, language or number of persons for a reservation up to two (2) hours after Customer has reserved the Service. These changes will be made at no charge to the customer or to KinzyTrip.
3.7 Chargebacks and Disputes
If a Chargeback or other payment failure occurs before Supplier provides a Service, KinzyTrip will inform Supplier and cancel the Booking.
If a Chargeback occurs after Supplier provides a Service, KinzyTrip will ask Supplier to provide a response within three Business Days.
KinzyTrip may forward Supplier’s response to the credit card issuer.
Supplier acknowledges and agrees that KinzyTrip accepts payments from Customers as Supplier’s commercial agent, and that KinzyTrip’s obligation to pay Supplier is subject to and conditional upon successful receipt of the associated payments from Customers.
In the event of a Chargeback or other failed payment:
KinzyTrip and its Sub-Commercial Agent will make no payment to Supplier for the affected Booking.
KinzyTrip will receive no Commission for the affected Booking.
KinzyTrip may offset any amount already paid to Supplier for the affected Booking against any future payment under this Agreement.
KinzyTrip and its Sub-Commercial Agent are not a party to the Supplier-Customer Contract, do not act as a guarantor for payment by Customers, and are not liable to Supplier in the event of Chargeback or other nonpayment by a Customer.
3.8 Cancellations; No Shows
Supplier will not directly accept cancellations of Bookings from Customers; all cancellations must be made by a Customer through the KinzyTrip Platform or KinzyTrip customer service.
(a) During the Free Cancellation Period
If a Customer cancels a Booking during the Free Cancellation Period, KinzyTrip will give the Customer a Full Refund. If KinzyTrip gives a Customer a Full Refund, pursuant to this section or for any other reason, (A) Supplier will receive no payment for the Booking, and (B) KinzyTrip will receive no Commission for the Booking.
(b) After the Free Cancellation Period
If a Customer cancels a Booking after the Free Cancellation Period has ended, and there are no extenuating circumstances, the Booking will be treated as a Completed Booking for purposes of payment. If there are extenuating circumstances, KinzyTrip may give the Customer a Full Refund.
(c) Force Majeure Situations
In the event that Supplier cancels Services because of a Force Majeure Situation, Supplier must notify KinzyTrip’s customer service department immediately. A Customer may cancel a Booking if a Force Majeure Situation occurs at the travel destination, regardless of whether Supplier continues to provide Services during the affected period of time. If Supplier or Customer cancels a Booking in connection with a Force Majeure Situation, KinzyTrip will give the Customer a Full Refund.
(d) No Shows
If a Customer is a No Show and there are no extenuating circumstances, the Booking will be treated as a Completed Booking for purposes of payment. If there are extenuating circumstances, KinzyTrip may give the Customer a Full Refund.
3.10. Failure to Provide Services×
If Supplier cancels a Booking or otherwise fails to provide Services to a Customer as required by a Booking, KinzyTrip will give the Customer a Full Refund. Supplier acknowledges that its cancellation or other failure to provide Services damages KinzyTrip’s goodwill and reputation, and causes KinzyTrip to incur additional customer service expenses. Accordingly, if KinzyTrip determines that the cancellation or failure to provide Services was not justifiable (e.g., the result of a Force Majeure Situation), KinzyTrip may deduct a cancellation fee (as liquidated damages), equal to twenty-five percent of the Retail Price of the Services for each affected Customer, from any future payment due to Supplier hereunder. The Parties acknowledge and agree that it would be impractical to estimate the amount of any damages that could arise out of Supplier’s cancellation or other failure to provide Services, and agree that the amount of liquidated damages described above is a reasonable estimate of the actual damages that KinzyTrip would suffer and incur as a result of such cancellation or failure to provide Services. KinzyTrip may, at its sole discretion, opt not to deduct this amount, or to deduct a lesser amount, if Supplier provides an alternative but equivalent Service at the same date to the affected Customers. For the avoidance of doubt, a cancellation resulting from Supplier’s failure to provide accurate Availability information on the KinzyTrip Platform and the failure to provide an invoice to the Customer shall constitute a failure to provide Services for purposes of this section. In addition to the remedies stated above, KinzyTrip may terminate this Agreement for Supplier’s material breach if Supplier fai

Any failure to comply with the requirements of this section may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of Supplier’s Services from the KinzyTrip Platform.
In the event Applicable Law in a jurisdiction imposes VAT (or other Applicable Tax) on Commission, KinzyTrip will deduct the amount of such VAT (or other Applicable Tax) from payments due to the Supplier, in addition to the Commission. Supplier is responsible for determining if any tax credit is available under Applicable Law for payment of this VAT (or other Applicable Tax) on Commission.

Unless Supplier provides written notice to KinzyTrip of a good faith dispute with regard to a Statement within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof, including reasonable detail in support of such dispute, such Statement will be deemed accepted. After such period, adjustments for discrepancies will be made in KinzyTrip’s sole discretion. Without prejudice to the foregoing, no dispute may be raised, and no claim, action or proceedings may be brought, against KinzyTrip in respect of any payment-related matter after:
The expiry of one (1) year from the date on which the payment at issue is due (or alleged to be due), or

Issue a warning to Supplier;
Remove Product Offers or other Supplier Content from the KinzyTrip Platform;
Temporarily restrict Supplier’s use of the KinzyTrip Platform;

17.7 Interpretation
In this Agreement, 1. “including” means “including but not limited to,” and 2. general words shall not be given a restrictive meaning by reason of the fact that they are preceded by words indicating a particular class of acts, matters, or things. Captions and section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be used in construing it. If any provision herein is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions will continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way. The Parties agree to replace any invalid provision with a valid provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision.

Except as provided in this section, all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder are personal to them and this Agreement is not intended to benefit, nor shall it be deemed to give rise to, any rights in any third party. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties, and supersedes 1. any and all oral or written agreements or understandings between the Parties, as to the subject matter of the Agreement, and 2. any terms and conditions governing the use of Supplier’s or a Connectivity Partner’s API. The waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate or be interpreted as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach
