• Use of the Platform

1. In using the Platform, you can view all offers published by Providers ("Providers") (which offers are referred to as "Adventures"), submit enquiries ("Enquiries") with the Providers, make a booking ("Booking") for such Experience Offers and write reviews. A Booking placed through the Platform forms a binding agreement between you and the Provider if the Provider accepts your Booking. Enquiries, however, are non-binding. If you have any questions, complaints or remarks about a Provider, an Adventure Offer, a Booking or a Enquiry, you can contact Dirtwheels through the Platform.
2. The Adventure Offers are subject to the Providers terms and conditions, as well as all agreements between you and the Provider. Dirtwheels shall never become a party to an agreement between a Provider and you. We advise you to carefully read the Providers terms and conditions, since they may entail legal obligations and it is your responsibility to adhere to such obligations. Dirtwheels accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any decisions made by you based on the content of Dirtwheels and/or the Providers on the Platform, unless stated otherwise in these Terms of Use.
3. You and the Provider are solely responsible for the correct performance and execution of a Booking, which – from your side – includes the correct provision of the required information in making a Booking. 
4. You are solely responsible and liable for the content you submit, which includes the reviews you write. 
5. Finally, when using our Platform you shall adhere to the following rules. You may not:
   1. use the Platform with a device that contains viruses, Trojan horses, worms, bots or other malicious software that can alter, damage, disable, infect or delete the Platform or make it unavailable or inaccessible;
   2. deliberately involve manual or automated software, devices, or other processes to "crawl", "spider" or scrape any content on the Platform;
   3. reproduce or decompile the Platform or to apply reverse engineering to it, unless permitted by mandatory law;
   4. remove and/or to circumvent security measures or technical limitations (including limitations to the use) of the Platform.

In other words:

"After you’ve chosen an adventure, made an enquiry and or booking for this adventure and entered all of your correct personal data, you will engage in a contract with the actual provider of the adventure. Dirtwheels can in no way be held responsible if issues (however unlikely) arise between you and the adventure provider, but we will help you in resolving the issue. Also, you cannot use our platform in any inappropriate way, so no spreading viruses, hacking or spamming etc."

• Prices and Payment

1. Your use of the Platform is free of charge. Providers charge their own fees for their adventures. Please be aware that you might owe the Provider (part of) the fee in case you make a Booking. We have no influence on, are not involved in and are not liable for your payment of Bookings.
2. When using the Platform all prices will be in £ UK Sterling.

"The use of our platform is free of charge. Please be aware that specific payment terms of the Providers apply to payment of the adventures."
