Thank you for using Plndu!

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement ("Agreement") between you and Plndu (as defined below) governing your access to and use of the Plndu website, including any subdomains thereof, and any other websites through which Plndu makes its services available (collectively, "Site") and all associated services (collectively, "Plndu Services"). The Site and Plndu Services together are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Plndu Platform”.

When these Terms mention “Plndu,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” it refers to Plndu UK, 20-22 Wenlock Road London N1 7GU.

Our collection and use of personal information in connection with your access to and use of the Plndu Platform is described in our Privacy Policy. Vendors alone are responsible for identifying, understanding, and complying with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to their Listings and Vendor Services (as defined below). For example, some cities have laws that restrict their ability to provide certain Vendor Services. In many cities, Vendors may have to register, get a permit or obtain a license before providing certain Vendor Services (such as providing kids entertainment, sale of alcohol, food catering and more). Vendors alone are responsible for identifying and obtaining any required licenses, permits, or registrations for any Vendor Services they offer. Certain types of Vendor Services may be prohibited altogether. Penalties may include fines or other enforcement. If you have questions about how local laws apply to your Listing(s) and Vendor Service(s) on Plndu, you should always seek legal guidance.

1. Scope of Plndu Services

1.1 Plndu is an online marketplace that enables registered users (“Associates”) and certain third parties who offer services (Associates and third parties who offer services are “Vendors” and the services they offer are “Vendor Services”) to list such Vendor Services on Plndu (“Listings”) and to transact directly with Associates that are seeking to book or purchase their Services or goods (Associates using Vendor Services are “Customers”). Vendor Services may include the offering of an event related service/ services (e.g.entertainment, catering, decoration, venues etc) or goods (e.g. party packs,gifts etc).

1.2 As the provider of the Plndu Platform, Plndu aims to connect Vendors with Customers and does not own the content of the services listed by the Vendors or within listed Packages unless otherwise stated. Vendors alone are responsible for their Listings and Vendor Services. When Associates make or accept a booking, they are entering into a contract directly with each other. Plndu is not and does not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between Associates, nor is Plndu an insurer. Plndu is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Vendor or Customer, except as specified in Section 6.1.3 While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, Plndu has no control over and does not guarantee
(i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Listings or Vendor Services,

(ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions, Ratings, Reviews, or other Associate Content (as defined below), or

(iii) the performance or conduct of any Associate or third party. Plndu does not endorse any Associate, Listing or Vendor Services. Any references to an Associate being "verified" (or similar language) only indicate that the Associate has completed a relevant verification or identification process and nothing else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by Plndu about any Associate, including of the Associate's identity or background or whether the Associate is trustworthy, safe or suitable. You should always exercise due diligence and care when accepting a booking request from a Customer, or communicating and interacting with other Associates, whether online or in person. Verified Images (as defined below) are intended only to indicate a photographic representation of a Listing at the time the photograph was taken,and are therefore not an endorsement by Plndu of any Vendor or Listing.

1.4 If you choose to use the Plndu Platform as a Vendor, your relationship with Plndu is limited to being an independent, third-party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of Plndu for any reason, and you act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of Plndu. Plndu does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control you generally or in your performance under these Terms specifically,including in connection with your provision of the Vendor Services. You acknowledge that you have complete discretion whether to list Vendor Services or otherwise engage in other business or employment activities.

1.5 To promote the Plndu Platform and to increase the exposure of Listings to potential Customers, Listings and other Associate Content may be displayed on other websites, in applications, within emails, and in online and offline advertisements in accordance with Section 5. To assist Associates who speak different languages, Plndu may make automated tools available to enable Associates to translate Listings and other Associate Content, in whole or in part, into other languages. Associates are free to use these tools at their own discretion. Plndu cannot guarantee the accuracy or quality of such translations and Associates are responsible for reviewing and verifying the accuracy of such translations.

1.6 The Plndu Platform may contain links to third-party websites or resources (“Third-PartyServices”). Such Third-Party Services may be subject to different terms and conditions and privacy practices. Plndu is not responsible or liable for the availability or accuracy of such Third-Party Services, or the content, products, or services available from such Third-Party Services. Links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by Plndu of such Third-PartyServices.

1.7 Plndu is not responsible for outages or disruptions of the Internet and telecommunications infrastructure which are beyond our control and can lead to interruptions in the availability of the Plndu Platform. Plndu may, temporarily and under consideration of the Associates’ legitimate interests (e.g. by providing prior notice), restrict the availability of the Plndu Platform or certain areas or features thereof, if this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of the Plndu Platform. Plndu may improve,enhance and modify the Plndu Platform and introduce new Plndu Services from time to time.

In addition, Plndu may (i) keep the calendar for the Listing unavailable or blocked for the dates of the cancelled booking, and/or (ii) impose a penalty, unless the Vendor has a valid reason for cancelling the booking pursuant to Extenuating Circumstances in Section 19 or has legitimate concerns about the Customer’s behaviour.
8.4 For Vendor Services, if weather poses a safety risk to the event, or if it prevents a Vendor from carrying out a Vendor Service that takes place primarily outdoors, Vendors may cancel the booked Service. Vendors may also cancel the booked Service if other conditions exist that would prevent the Vendors from offering the Vendors Service safely.
8.5 In certain circumstances, Plndu may cancel a pending or confirmed booking on behalf of a Vendor or Customer and initiate corresponding refunds and payouts.
