Terms of Service

Last updated: July 7, 2026. Please read our service agreement terms carefully.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using Explomate.ly (the "Platform"), you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Platform.

2. User Accounts & Vetting

Users register as either Tourists or Tour Guides. Tour Guides are subject to verification check processes, but Explomate does not guarantee the behavior or safety of users. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential.

3. Escrow Payments & Fees

Explomate uses Web3 smart contracts to hold bookings payments in escrow. A 10% platform commission is automatically deducted from guide payouts upon booking completion. Refund terms are detailed in our Cancellation Policy.

4. Prohibited Actions

Users may not request offline cash/crypto transactions, bypass platform fees, submit fraudulent identity verification documents, or post abusive/unsafe content on listings.

5. Dispute Resolution

Disputed escrow releases are arbitrated by Explomate's administration panel, whose decision is final and binding on both guides and tourists.

6. Marketplace Platform Role & Trip Liability Disclaimer

Important Notice:

Explomate operates solely as a marketplace platform provider connecting Tourists with independent Tour Guides. Explomate does not own, manage, or operate physical tour services directly.

All travel risks, incidents, physical accidents, injuries, property damage, or losses occurring during any tour are solely and fully the personal responsibility of the Tour Guide and Tourist (Tour Guide & Traveler Responsibility). Explomate, as a marketplace platform facilitator, is exempt and released from any legal claims, lawsuits, damages, or liabilities arising from accidents or unforeseen events during the execution of any tour.
