Part 3. General Terms and Conditions of Sale
Preamble
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereinafter the “GTC”) apply in addition, with respect to Buyers, to the Buyer GTC and, with respect to Sellers, to the Seller GTC, in which the capitalized terms used in these GTC are defined.
The GTC apply to all sales of Services made through the Service between the Seller and the Buyer. They are intended to govern the relationships between Sellers and Buyers of Services, excluding those established between Buyers and TAHITI WHATTODO or between Sellers and TAHITI WHATTODO. The relationships between Buyers and TAHITI WHATTODO are governed by the Buyer GTC. The relationships between Sellers and TAHITI WHATTODO are governed by the Seller GTC.
TAHITI WHATTODO is not the Seller of the Services purchased through the Service; only the Seller, whose name is indicated on the description sheet of each Service, is the Buyer’s co-contractor for the purchase of said Services. The Services may therefore not be returned or exchanged by TAHITI WHATTODO.
Article 1. Conclusion of the sales contract between the Buyer and the Seller
1) The Services are presented on the Site with a description enabling the Buyer to know their essential characteristics, their price and completion time.
2) The Buyer selects the Service(s) he wishes to purchase.
3) He confirms his choice of Service(s) and acknowledges and accepts these General Terms and Conditions when confirming his order.
4) The Buyer receives an email confirming the registration of his order.
5) The Seller is informed by TAHITI WHATTODO that one or more of the Services that it has put online has been the subject of an order.
6) The Seller undertakes to confirm the Buyer’s order(s) within 2 working days following the information received as referred to in point 5).
In the absence of confirmation of the order within the period referred to in point 6), the contract concluded between the Buyer and the Seller is automatically cancelled and each party is released from its obligations. In particular, the Buyer is assured that his bank account will not be debited.
The Seller’s Service offers are valid as long as they are visible on the Site, within the limit of available stocks. Generally speaking, in the event of exceptional unavailability of the Service after the Buyer has placed an order, the Seller will inform the Buyer using the messaging tool made available as part of the Service and the order will be automatically cancelled and the Buyer is assured that his bank account will not be debited.
Similarly, in the specific case where the same Service is the subject of an order by several Buyers at the same time, and depending on the availability of this Service, it will only be sold to the first Buyer who registers and pays for his order. The other Buyers will then be informed of the cancellation of their order.
However, only the contract relating to the sale of the unavailable Service(s) is affected by this cancellation.
7) Once the order has been confirmed by the Seller, an email is sent to the Buyer to confirm and summarize his order as well as the General Terms and Conditions of Sale (available in pdf format) and the Seller makes a firm commitment to deliver the Services within the specified time frame and the Buyer’s bank account is debited for the amount of the order.
8) In the event of confirmation of all or part of the Buyer’s order, said Services are shipped by the Seller in accordance with the terms set out in Article 3.
9) The Buyer must confirm without delay in “My Account” the proper completion of each Service ordered. Failing this, the Service will be deemed to have been completed within 21 days from the date of debiting his bank account.
The Buyer may, at any time, contact the Seller, address any request or complaint relating to the Services ordered using the messaging tool made available as part of the Service.
10) The Buyer is invited to evaluate the Seller’s performance according to the terms set out in Article 7.
Article 2. Price and payment
The purchase price of the Service is set by the Seller. It is stated in Pacific francs including tax on the description sheet.
The fact that the Buyer validates his order implies the obligation on his part to pay the indicated price.
Payment for purchases made through the Service can be made using the payment methods indicated in the “Payment methods” section with TAHITI WHATTODO, which collects the corresponding amount, in the name and on behalf of the Seller.
Article 3. Right of withdrawal
In the context of a purchase made from a Seller, the Buyer has the possibility of canceling his order before the Service is performed, without having to provide reasons or pay a penalty.
Only the price of the Service(s) purchased will be refunded.
The Buyer exercises his right of withdrawal directly with the Seller concerned using:
- the “Cancel order” button on the page dedicated to his order on the Site,
- the standard withdrawal form attached in the Appendix to be sent to the Seller at the address that he will indicate during their exchanges via the messaging tool made available as part of the Service,
- or by any means and in particular by email expressing the Buyer’s wish to withdraw without any ambiguity, and mentioning the order concerned by this withdrawal using the messaging tool made available to him as part of the Service.
The reimbursement of the Services is made by TAHITI WHATTODO under the following conditions:
TAHITI WHATTODO will reimburse the sums paid no later than 14 days from the date on which the right was exercised with the Seller and that TAHITI WHATTODO has been informed; using the same means of payment as that used for the order. This reimbursement date may be deferred until the Service has been completed or until the Buyer has simultaneously provided the Seller and TAHITI WHATTODO with proof of the non-performance of the Service, the date chosen being that of the first of these facts.
Any exercise of the right of withdrawal must be reported in advance to TAHITI WHATTODO by email to the address “direction@tahiti-whattodo.com”. When this period expires on a Saturday, Sunday, public holiday or non-working day, it is extended until the next working day.
The right of withdrawal cannot be exercised for services that have already been performed.
Article 4. Disputes – Disputes – Mediation – Online Dispute Resolution
At any time, the Buyer has the possibility to contact the Seller, to address any request, complaint relating to the Services ordered by using the messaging tool made available as part of the Service, in particular to assert its guarantees when they are in progress.
In addition to the messaging tool, a dedicated button is made available allowing any Buyer to report in “My account”, within 90 days, any complaint concerning the Services ordered.
Beyond these deadlines, the Buyer retains the possibility of contacting the Seller, to formulate any request relating to the Services ordered by using the messaging tool made available as part of the Service.
Disputes are settled directly between the Buyer and the Seller, where applicable using the messaging tool made available to them on the Service.
The Buyer and the Seller will make their best efforts to reach an amicable resolution of the dispute.
However, in the event that the Seller has not resolved the dispute with the Buyer within 8 working days from receipt of the complaint, TAHITI WHATTODO reserves the right, after having previously informed the Seller, to reimburse the customer for the Service. The amount of this reimbursement will then be deducted from the sums to be paid by TAHITI WHATTODO to the Seller for the Services sold by the Seller via the Service.
Depending on the case, the declared dispute will give rise either to the organization of the Service ordered or to a reimbursement.
Article 5. Liability, restrictions and exclusions of warranty
TAHITI WHATTODO acts as a provider of a connection service via the Platform.
The Sellers and Buyers expressly acknowledge and accept that TAHITI WHATTODO is only bound by the terms of this agreement to an obligation of means and not of result.
The performance of the Services contracted via the Service results exclusively from the agreement between the Seller and the Buyer who act under their sole and entire responsibility.
As such, the actual performance of the Services offered by the Seller and accepted by the Buyer cannot give rise to any liability attributable to TAHITI WHATTODO, on any grounds whatsoever.
TAHITI WHATTODO cannot be held liable in particular for an incident that may have occurred for reasons such as:
- the communication by the Seller and the Buyer of erroneous information concerning their skills;
- the communication by the Seller of erroneous, confusing or incomplete information concerning the Service or their Seller profile;
- the fraudulent behavior or fault of the Buyer and/or the Seller, during, before, or after the performance of the Service.
Certain Services are accessible subject to certain conditions, without the list being exhaustive, of health, age, weight and/or skills. These conditions are indicated in the description of Each Service. Due to the nature of certain Services, the Sellers may ask the Buyer to sign a liability waiver or to deposit a security deposit check.
Other Services are accessible depending on certain weather, technical or other conditions. These conditions are indicated in the description of each Service.
The Buyer agrees to read these restrictions carefully. As such, it is expressly specified that the Buyer reserves and participates in the Service under his own responsibility, taking into account his level, physical condition, experience, limitations, and the inherent risks associated with practicing the activity concerned.
The Sellers reserve the right to refuse the requested Service or to postpone the reservation if the required conditions are not met.
In any event, TAHITI WHATTODO cannot be held liable for compensating the Seller or the Buyer.
The Seller is responsible for the proper execution of the Service in accordance with the elements mentioned in the Service description sheet and in accordance with the legislation in force to perform this Service.
The Seller certifies that he holds all insurance, diplomas and other authorizations allowing him to provide the reserved Service, the effectiveness of which the Buyer will be solely responsible for ensuring.
In any event, TAHITI WHATTODO cannot be held responsible for incorrect or incomplete information.
The Services do not include transport to the place where the Service is performed. The Services are subject to the specific conditions of the chosen Seller. It is therefore up to the Buyer to read them prior to his reservation request.
TAHITI WHATTODO cannot be held liable in this regard.
Article 6. Seller Evaluation
TAHITI WHATTODO provides Buyers with the means to evaluate the performance of Sellers following confirmation of the completion of the Services ordered. This transparency allows Buyers to select Services from the most serious Sellers who best comply with the conditions of use of the Service.
The assessment is carried out according to evaluation criteria and by the allocation of star(s) by Buyers. As such, TAHITI WHATTODO does not ensure any control over the assessment made by Buyers, which it simply stores on the Site. However, it may be required to delete, without notice, any assessment whose content has been reported to it as being illicit. The assessments left by the Buyer, as well as their pseudonym, will be visible to any visitor to the Site.
Article 7. Personal data
In addition to Article 5 of the Buyer T&Cs and Article 8 of the Seller T&Cs, the Buyer and Seller are informed that all data collected as part of the Service when orders are placed are processed by TAHITI WHATTODO for the purposes of processing said orders.
The information and data of the Buyers relating to the performance of the activities are transmitted by TAHITI WHATTODO to the Sellers for the sole purpose of enabling them to perform the Services ordered and, where applicable, to enable them to meet their legal or regulatory obligations. They may not under any circumstances be used for other purposes.
In the event of difficulty concerning the processing of this data, the Buyer and the Seller may contact TAHITI WHATTODO directly, under the conditions set out, as the case may be, in the Buyer T&Cs or in the Seller T&Cs.
Each Seller only has access to the personal data provided by the Buyers of its Services to TAHITI WHATTODO when they place their order.
The Sellers undertake to ensure the security of the personal data that they keep for the purposes of fulfilling and monitoring orders.
