7.            Payments to JOYN.  Except as expressly set forth in the Terms, your general right to access and use the Site is currently for free, but JOYN may in the future charge a fee for certain access or usage.  You will not be charged for any such access or use of the Site unless you first agree to such charges, but please be aware that any failure to pay applicable charges may result in you not having access to some or all of the Site.

8.            Reservation and Payment.

8.1.        Reservation. When a User requests to reserve a Host’s Services for a particular date and time ("Reservation") and a Host accepts such Reservation, either manually or automatically (depending on the Host’s personal settings), a contract  between the User and the Host is created for the provision and receipt of the Services (each, a "Booked Reservation"), for which the User agrees to pay the Host Fee and the Reservation Fee (defined, respectively, below), all subject to these Terms. A User may revoke a Reservation at any time prior to acceptance of the Reservation by the Host.

8.2.        Host Fee. If you are a Host, you may set the fee you charge for the use of your Device ("Host Fee"). Once the Host Fee has been set, you may only change it by submitting a request to JOYN, which will be approved and implemented (or denied), in JOYN’s sole discretion. Once a User requests a Reservation of your Services, the Host may not request the User to pay a higher price than the fee set forth at the time the Booked Reservation is made, and in no case may the Host request a User to pay the Host Fee, or any additional amount in connection with the Reservation, other than through the Site. The Host Fee that applies to Users in connection with a Booked Reservation will be displayed on the Site and be viewable by such Users prior to completion of the Booked Reservation.

8.3.        Reservation Fee. JOYN charges a reservation fee to Users (the “Reservation Fee”) for Booked Reservations through the Site. The Reservation Fee (a) is determined by JOYN, in its sole discretion, (b) may vary based on the price charged by the Host, and (c) is subject to change at any time (but any such changes will not apply retroactively to a Booked Reservation).  The Reservation Fee that applies to Users in connection with a Booked Reservation will be displayed on the Site and be viewable by such Users prior to completion of the Booked Reservation. The Reservation Fee will be added to the Host Fee that Users will be required to remit to JOYN, as further described in Section ‎‎8.5 (Payment Terms) below.

8.4.        JOYN as Agent for Collection. Host Fees shall be remitted by Users to JOYN. If you are a Host, you hereby (i) appoint JOYN to collect payments owed to you in connection with Reservations as your limited collection agent for the purpose of collecting Host Fees from Users; and (ii) agree that collection of Host Fees by JOYN from a User shall be deemed payment to you by the User and that you will provide your Services to the User in accordance with the Booked Reservation. JOYN will transfer the Host Fees (less the applicable Taxes (defined below) collected by JOYN) to you by the means specified in your Account.

8.5.        Payment terms. If you are a User, you agree to pay the Host Fee and the Reservation Fee by transferring to JOYN the amounts due and any applicable Taxes at the time the Reservation is accepted by the Host and becomes a Booked Reservation. Host Fees and Reservation Fees are to be paid in the local currency where the Services take place.

8.6.        Taxes.  Amounts payable by Users under these Terms are exclusive of all applicable sales, use, consumption, VAT, GST, and other taxes, duties or governmental charges, except for taxes based upon JOYN’s net income ("Taxes").  If you, the User, are required by law or otherwise, to withhold or deduct any amount from the sum payable by you, then the sum which you must pay, upon which the deduction or withholding is based, must be increased so that, after all deductions or withholdings, JOYN receives a net amount equal to the amount that would have been paid if such deductions or withholdings were not required.

8.7.        Tax Requests. You agree to comply with all of JOYN’s requests for information and to fill out and provide JOYN with all applicable tax forms and declarations as may be required by JOYN to comply with its obligations under applicable law or as requested by an applicable governmental authority. In certain jurisdictions, tax regulations may require that JOYN collect and/or report tax information about Hosts, or withhold taxes from payouts to Hosts, or both. If Hosts fail to provide JOYN with documentation that JOYN determines to be sufficient to support any such obligation to withhold taxes from payouts to Hosts, JOYN may withhold payouts up to the amount as required under applicable law, until sufficient documentation is provided. Hosts agree that JOYN may issue on behalf of Hosts invoices or similar documentation for VAT, sales tax, consumption or other Taxes for Hosts’ Services to facilitate accurate tax reporting by Hosts.

8.8.        JOYN Wallet and JOYN Coin. Users may receive promotional coins or tokens from JOYN (“JOYN Coin”), for use in accordance with the terms of the applicable promotion. Users and Hosts can access and view their balance, purchase, transfer and/or redeem their JOYN Coin at any time through the use of their personal, online wallet found on the JOYN Site.  For more information regarding JOYN Coin please see our promotional policy [here].

8.9.        Third Party Payment Processors. JOYN accepts and makes payments using third-party service providers, such as PayMe, as may be available on the Site (“Payment Processors”). All payments are subject to the fees charged by, and the terms and conditions of, such Payment Processors. JOYN is not responsible for any delays in, or withholding of, payment by Payment Processors.

8.10.     Set off. If you owe any amount to JOYN, a Host or User, then you agree that JOYN may deduct or withhold such amount from any amount JOYN has collected for you, or would otherwise transfer or pay to you.

 

 

8.11.     RESPONSIBILITY. JOYN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF ANY HOST OR USER OR FOR YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THESE TERMS, OR APPLICABLE LAW. IF YOU ARE A HOST, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT JOYN DOES NOT ACT AS YOUR CONTRACTING OR RESERVATION AGENT, AND JOYN DOES NOT ENDORSE OR VERIFY THE IDENTITY OF, OR INFORMATION ABOUT OR PROVIDED BY, ANY USER. IF YOU ARE A USER, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT: (I) JOYN DOES NOT ENDORSE, CONTROL, EMPLOY, OR SUPERVISE ANY HOST, THE INFORMATION OR CONTENT PROVIDED BY THE HOST, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION INFORMATION OR CONTENT APPEARING AS PART OF THE APPLICABLE LISTING, AND HOST'S PROFILE; AND (II) THE HOST IS NOT AN EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF JOYN AND IS NOT CONTRACTED BY JOYN TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES.

8.12.     Discounts. To the extent any special offers are made or discounts are offered to you by JOYN in connection with the creation of your Account, or if you are a User, in connection with a Reservation Fee, or which are otherwise made or offered, such offer or discount shall apply solely for the period and according to the provisions of the terms and conditions contained in or presented with such offer or discount and shall be subject to these Terms.

8.13.     Not-for-Profit Activities. The Site may enable Hosts to offer Services without compensation by the applicable User. In such a case, JOYN may elect (in its sole discretion) not to charge a Reservation Fee to the User.

8.14.     Expenses. JOYN is not responsible for any travel, per diem, or other expenses incurred by either party in connection with a Reservation or Booked Reservation ("Expenses").

8.15.     User Disputes. JOYN reserves the right to, and you agree that JOYN may, monitor any disputes regarding a Reservation or Booked Reservation or the subject matter thereof (and you shall update JOYN regarding any such disputes), and, in its sole judgment, charge, deduct or return amounts received or paid by you, as necessary, in its sole discretion, to resolve the dispute.
