7. Financial arrangements

7.1 When issuing Mesa Redonda Invitations Hosts state the fees that they will charge each Guest, these fees are quoted inclusive of all sales and analogous or other taxes (the “Host’s Charges”). Mesa Redonda arranges a service for these fees to be collected and held in a third-party trust account on terms that the funds will be paid in accordance with these T&Cs (arranging this collection and holding service constitutes a part of the Mesa Redonda Services). Mesa Redonda may charge Guests a fee for the use of the Mesa Redonda Services (the “Mesa Redonda Fees”). Acceptance of a Mesa Redonda Invitation constitutes agreement to pay the Host’s Charges and any Mesa Redonda Fees (the “Transaction Fees”). The total amount of the Transaction Fees is the amount payable by the Guest in respect of each Mesa Redonda Invitation at the time that the Guest accepts the Mesa Redonda Invitation.

7.2 Where applicable, the Mesa Redonda Fees are calculated as a variable percentage of the Host’s Charges. Any Mesa Redonda Fees are payable by the Guests at the same time as payment of the Host’s Charges. To the extent that the Mesa Redonda Fees are subject to sales taxes, such as VAT, these taxes will be included in the total amount payable by the Guest in respect of the Transaction Fees. Where Mesa Redonda charges Mesa Redonda Fees it shall on request provide an invoice in respect of those Mesa Redonda Fees, separately identifying any sales taxes charged by Mesa Redonda.

7.3 Hosts agree and acknowledge that they are responsible for discharging all of their own tax obligations (including sales taxes including, but not limited to, VAT) whether these are imposed on a state, local or other level. Mesa Redonda assumes no obligations whatsoever in this regard. In particular, Mesa Redonda assumes no responsibility (actual or deemed) to notify or explain to Hosts, or to enquire into, the VAT or sales taxes treatment of any Hosts or Hosted Events.

7.4 If Mesa Redonda so requires for the purposes of its dealings with any tax or regulatory authority, Hosts and Guests shall provide to Mesa Redonda, promptly on request, any information, data, documentation and/or copies of communications (whether in electronic format or otherwise) which relate to Hosted Events in which they have participated. Hosts shall, promptly on request, provide to Mesa Redonda all reasonable assistance in any discussion or dispute with any tax authority with respect to the VAT or sales tax treatment of Hosted Events in which those Hosts have participated.Each Host agrees to indemnify Mesa Redonda for any VAT or similar sales tax obligations which Mesa Redonda is required to pay and which arise wholly from Hosted Events hosted by that Host.

7.5 You may only make payments in respect of Mesa Redonda Invitations through the payment processing facilities provided on the Mesa Redonda Websites, by special arrangement with Mesa Redonda through its direct booking services or of through a third-party agency that is authorized by Mesa Redonda to provide those parts of the Mesa Redonda Services relating to processing payments. Please check with Mesa Redonda to ensure that any third-party with whom you are dealing is properly authorized by Mesa Redonda. If the Mesa Redonda Invitation is transacted through an authorized third-party you may not be required to pay any Mesa Redonda Fees, but the authorized third-party agent may instead charge an administration fee.

7.6 You agree that the sole and exclusive role and responsibility of Mesa Redonda (and any of its authorized third-party agents) in providing Mesa Redonda Services relating to processing payments is to arrange the collection of payments from Guests and for the payment of the amounts collected in accordance with these T&Cs (and you agree that they have no other or further liability to you in respect of any payment made).

7.7 Payments are made by Guests through selected payment providers.The terms on which the payment providers hold funds are stated in their terms.Mesa Redonda may receive amounts due to Hosts from payment providers, where it does so such funds will be held in a bank account (separate from Mesa Redonda’s own trading bank account) until they are transferred to the Host (or, where appropriate, reimbursed to the Guest).

7.8 Mesa Redonda may “round off” numbers to the nearest functional base unit in the relevant currency. Mesa Redonda uses commercial currency exchange operators and registered users accept the risks in fluctuations in currency exchange rates

8. Insurance, disputes, resolution and refunds

8.1 Guests may need to cancel a Mesa Redonda Invitation that they have previously accepted, in such cases please contact Mesa Redonda at hola@messaredondapr.com. Guests shall qualify for a full refund of the Host’s Charges if (a) the Guest notifies Mesa Redonda and the Host of cancellation during usual business hours in Puerto Rico (being 9am to 5pm on weekdays other than public holidays) before the cancellation deadline of the relevant Hosted Event, or (b) if the Host cancels the Hosted Event for any reason.

8.2 We hope all Guests enjoy every Hosted Event, however sometimes things go wrong and if a Guest believes that the Host failed to fulfill an essential obligation of the Hosted Event then the Guest may until midnight on the day following the date on which the relevant Hosted Event was scheduled to take place request that the whole or a part of the payment is refunded by using the claim form on the page summarizing the reservation or by sending an email to hola@mesaredondapr.com specifying the Hosted Event reference, identifying the Host, specifying the amount of the Transaction Fees, saying how much the Guest wishes to be reimbursed and giving as much information as possible in relation to the problem/ relevant failures/ reasons for believing that payment should be refunded.

8.3 Mesa Redonda has an insurance policy in force which is intended to give the benefits and protections explained on the Mesa Redonda Websites. Please notify Mesa Redonda immediately at hola@mesaredondapr.com if you have suffered loss which appears to be covered by the insurance policy. The notification should include all relevant details and include such information and evidence as is available to you to substantiate the claim. By sending the email you agree to provide us with all further information that is reasonably available to you which we request in relation to the claim, including any medical or travel details and expenses, details of any other insurance available to you and any proposed or agreed resolution of any of the circumstances relating to the claim with any third party. Mesa Redonda agrees to indemnify or compensate you in respect of any such losses to the extent only that it is able to secure recovery from its insurance policy. Mesa Redonda will not deduct any administration fees from any such amount recovered. Save as provided in this clause ‎8.3 Mesa Redonda has no further or other obligation or liability in respect of its guarantee.

8.4 If you have a dispute relating to a Hosted Event, we encourage you (although this is not compulsory) to contact our claims department in order to try to resolve the dispute amicably. Our claims service can be contacted by email at the following address: hola@mesaredondapr.com.

8.5 It is important that if, as a Guest, you are not satisfied with a Hosted Event you notify Mesa Redonda before midnight on the day following the date on which the relevant Hosted Event was scheduled to take place. Once Mesa Redonda has released funds to the Host, it is unable to offer Guests any remedy.

8.6 Following receipt of a refund request Mesa Redonda may direct that an amount up to the entire value of the Transaction Fees paid by the Guest (less payment transaction costs and any third-party agency fees that Mesa Redonda is not entitled to recover) is refunded to the Guest. If, however, Mesa Redonda believes that the complaint is without merit, of limited merit or that Mesa Redonda is not able to assess the merit of the complaint, then Mesa Redonda may direct that the whole or any part of the Transaction Fees are paid to the Host and/ or that the balance (if any) is withheld pending resolution of the dispute between the relevant Host and the Guest.If no such resolution has been reached within six months, Mesa Redonda may direct that 50% of the disputed element of the Host’s Charges is paid to the Host and that 50% of the disputed element of the Host’s Charges is paid to the Guest (and the Mesa Redonda Fees shall be paid to Mesa Redonda) or may make such other arrangements as then appear appropriate to it (which may include making payment as directed by a Court of competent jurisdiction).Mesa Redonda shall have no further or other liability or responsibility to the Host and Guest in respect of any such claim to be refunded.You agree to abide by decisions made by Mesa Redonda (even if the decision appears perverse to you).

8.7 Mesa Redonda agrees to use reasonable endeavors to assess merits of claims and to act in good faith toward Guests and Hosts, however you agree that it has no responsibility or liability to you for any assessment it makes in relation to the merits of any claim between Guests and Hosts or any direction it gives as to the payments to be made to Guests or Hosts in accordance with this clause ‎8 and you also agree that Mesa Redonda may make or decline refunds and payments pursuant to these T&Cs and that if and to the extent it does so it shall have no further liability or obligation to you or the Host or Guest.

8.8 Mesa Redonda will endeavor to make refunds to Guests through the same payment facility through which the payment was originally made. Where it is not possible to make such a refund, it may require other verification before the refund can be processed.The Guest agrees to bear the cost of currency exchanges and risks in fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

8.9By accepting these T&Cs you agree that if Mesa Redonda has followed the processes mentioned above in good faith it shall have no further or other liability or obligation to you.

8.10Mesa Redonda has no responsibility or liability in respect of any failure by a payment processor or authorized agent.

9.0The Mesa Redonda platform serves as a trusted intermediary between Hosts and Guests and maintains itself through the service fee included in each Guests' booking. This also includes insurance that protects our Hosts and Guests during their Mesa Redonda experiences. In the case that a Host or Guest offers payment alternatives outside of the platform, Mesa Redonda is no longer able to extend its insurance to the Host or Guest and reserves the right to disable the Host's Mesa Redonda account.
