1. Introduction and Definitions
These general terms and conditions (the “Terms”) govern the use of the booking engine provided by OutVentures AB, reg. no 559241-7819 (the Supplier) and apply between the Supplier and the company (the Client) which has accepted to be bound by them by either signing up for the Service online (provided that an order confirmation is provided by the Supplier to such company) or by executing an agreement with the Supplier (the Master Agreement). The Supplier and the Client are collectively referred to as the “Parties” and individually as a "Party". The individual signing for the Service on behalf of the Client guarantees that such individual is authorized and has the right to do so.
When interpreting the Terms, the following shall apply unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
- Singular includes plural and vice versa.
- References to persons include natural persons, companies, and other legal persons.
- Exemplifications (that are examples marked with words such as “for example”, “including” or “such as”) shall not be deemed to be exhaustive listings.
Nothing in the Agreement shall be interpreted to the detriment of a Party solely because such Party (directly or indirectly) drafted the Agreement or parts thereof.
These Terms, the terms accepted by the Client online (and as set forth in the order confirmation received after such signup), the Master Agreement, and any attachments agreed between the Parties are collectively referred to as the Agreement. In the event of any discrepancy between these Terms, the terms set forth in the Order Confirmation or the Master Agreement shall take precedence. If there are several attachments, they shall take precedence in ascending numerical order.

- “OTA” refers to online travel agencies.
- “Website” means the Client’s website as set forth in the Order Confirmation or Master Agreement.
2. The Service and Delivery
