    7. 7.7 The Member agrees to keep the online booking diary up to date at all times including services, availability resourcing, pricing and any other information required. The Member is responsible for ensuring that all information included in the online booking portal is correct and up to date and understands that bookings made where this is not the case may result in loss to the Customer, adverse ratings and reviews and the need to pay a refund plus an administration fee to the Customer or the Website.
    8. 7.8 The Member agrees to maintain their own terms and conditions and privacy policy relating to the services they provide and ensure that Customers are aware of these. The Member agrees that their terms and conditions shall not conflict with the Website terms and conditions, and if they are, that they agree to abide by the Website terms and conditions.
    9. 7.9 The Member agrees that the Website can deduct an agents commission from the price specified for the service of twenty five percent (25%) of the service and pay the Member the net amount excluding commission, for full delivery of the specified service. The Website will not charge any fixed fee for the processing of these bookings.
    10. 7.10 The Member agrees that where the price for a service booked is lower than twenty dollars ($20) but higher than five dollars ($5) the Member agrees to pay TDC a flat booking fee of $5, which will be deducted from the amount payable to the Member.
    11. 7.11 The Member agrees that where the price for a service booked is lower than five dollars ($5) the Member agrees to pay TDC a flat booking fee of $5 + any credit card processing fees.

Failure to pay may result in removal from the Website and reporting to credit agencies.

In the Nabooki system, the No Cancellation Period is known as the Allowable Cancellation Time.
    14. 7.14 The Member acknowledges that changes to the Cancellation Period can impact on the timing for payments for bookings and agrees to inform the Website at least 48 hours prior to making these changes so they can be managed and adjusted for. Where no notice is given, the Website reserves the right to review the impact of changes and manage these at their sole discretion.
    15. 7.15 Should the Member need to cancel or change a booking for any reason the Member agrees to contact the Customer and offer alternate options for delivery of the service. If a time and date cannot be agreed with the Customer, and the Member has cancelled the booking before the end of the Cancellation Period, through the Online Booking System, then TDC will refund the customer in full and the Member will need to refund the TDC for any credit card processing fees and bank charges incurred in taking the booking and making the refund. If a Member cancels a booking during the No Cancellation Period they will need to deal with customers directly and refund any monies due directly to the customer, and any commissions retained by the Website will not be refunded by the Website to the Member.

    17. 7.17 The Member agrees that once the Member receives payment from the Website or TDC for a booking, the relevant debt will be extinguished and the Customer making the booking will not be required to pay anything in addition to what was paid at the time of booking for the service specified.

By setting a No Cancellation Period that is less than 48 hours means the money might not have been processed and paid to the Member before the service is due to be delivered.
    19. 7.19 Where a Customer wants to change or cancel the service booked, the Member agrees:
      1. 7.19.1 That Customers who have booked and paid have the right to cancel any booking during the Cancellation Period and will be refunded in full by TDC less a credit card and admin processing fee.

      3. 7.19.3 To manage and resolve all changes and cancellations to bookings directly with Customers during the No Cancellation Period. The Website and TDC have no liability to the Business or the Customer for any cancellations and related refunds during the No Cancellation Period.

    20. 7.20 The Member agrees to refund the Website for any losses that the Website may incur as a result of the Website refunding a Customer for a booking that was not delivered by the Member to the Customer, for any reason.
    21. 7.21 The Member agrees not to take any action that will result in the Website or TDC not receiving a commission. Should this occur, the Member agrees to compensate the Website or TDC for any and all associated losses, and the Website and TDC reserves the right to remove the business listing of the Member from the Website and the Online Booking System.
    22. 7.22 The Member agrees to request any medical or health information required from Customers prior to delivering services to ensure they are cleared to attend and receive the services booked.
    23. 7.23 The Member acknowledges that the Website and TDC use third party booking software providers to provide the online bookings through the Website.

    24. 7.24 The Website or TDC is not responsible for any loss, damages, costs or expenses or any other claims in any way whatsoever which may occur as a result of the Member accessing and using any third party booking software provider or third party payment gateway.
    25. 7.25 The Member acknowledges that due to the large number of third party booking software providers that the Website and TDC may not be able to integrate either partially or fully with every booking provider.
    26. 7.26 Where a Member sets up a separate account with a third party booking software provider and wants to cancel this account, the member acknowledges that the Website and the booking software providers are separate entities and will need to cancel each account individually.
