Calle el Sauce 9, Local 3 38670 Adeje, Santa Cruz de Tenerife Islas Canarias, Spain

By registering as an Operator on Turinity, you agree to these terms. In case of translation, the English version prevails.
1. Key Definitions
- Activity: any tour, excursion, ticket, experience, rental or tourism service offered by the Operator on Turinity.
- Booking: a confirmed reservation made by a Customer through Turinity.
- Completed Booking: a Booking where the Activity has been delivered, or where the Customer was a No-Show.
- Commission: the percentage of the Retail Price payable to Turinity for each Completed Booking.
- Retail Price: total price paid by the Customer, taxes included.
- Net Payable: Retail Price minus Commission and any applicable deductions.
- No-Show: Customer who fails to appear without cancelling.
- Full Payment Model: Customer pays 100% online at booking.
- Deposit Model: Customer pays a deposit online, balance on site.
- Force Majeure: circumstances beyond reasonable control (natural disasters, pandemics, government actions, major infrastructure failures, etc.).
2. How Turinity Works
Turinity is an online marketplace that connects Operators with Customers. We are not the provider of the Activity.
When a Customer books an Activity:
- The contract for the Activity is directly between the Customer and the Operator.
- Turinity acts as intermediary and booking facilitator.
- The Operator is responsible for delivering the Activity as described.
By accepting this Agreement, you authorize Turinity to:
- Display and promote your Activities on the platform.
- Receive Bookings on your behalf.
- Collect payments from Customers on your behalf, where applicable.
- Issue booking confirmations and vouchers to Customers.
- Process cancellations and refunds in line with this Agreement.
- Provide customer support related to Bookings.
The relationship is non-exclusive. You may work with other platforms, and we may work with other Operators, including direct competitors.
Nothing in this Agreement creates employment, partnership, or joint venture between us. You are an independent contractor.
3. Registration and Account

3.3 Approval
Turinity reviews each registration and may ask for additional documents. Access to the Operator Portal is granted only after approval. Turinity may reject any application at its discretion.
3.4 Account Responsibility

- You are responsible for all actions taken through your account.
- You must notify us immediately if your account is compromised.
- Keep your account information up to date. Outdated details may cause payout delays or suspension.
- You may not sell, transfer or assign your account without our written consent.
4. Activities and Content
4.1 What You Must Provide
For each Activity, you must provide complete and accurate information:
- Title and description.
- Duration.
- Meeting point or pickup details.
- What is included and what is not.
- Prices for all participant types (adults, children, infants).
- Schedule and time slots.
- Capacity.

All images and media must be owned by you or properly licensed.
4.2 Content Review
Turinity may review, edit, translate, enhance, or reject any content to maintain quality, consistency, SEO, and compliance. We may use AI technologies for translation, categorization, or enhancement. Content modified by AI remains your content for the purposes of your warranties.
We may remove content that breaches this Agreement or applicable laws. Where practical, we will notify you before removal and give you the opportunity to correct the issue.
4.3 Pricing
- You set your Retail Prices.
- Retail Prices must include all mandatory fees, except legally mandatory on-site charges (e.g. port fees, government taxes) which must be clearly disclosed in the Activity description before booking.
- Once a Booking is confirmed, the price is fixed.
- You may update prices at any time for future bookings.
- You may offer optional extras (drinks, upgrades, etc.) clearly marked as optional.
4.4 Promotions
You can configure seasonal pricing and discounts through the Operator Portal. Turinity may also offer its own promotions to Customers; in such cases, we absorb the discount and pay you based on the agreed Net Payable on the original Retail Price.
4.5 Rate Availability
You agree to use reasonable efforts to make your best available rates, availability, and booking conditions accessible to Turinity Customers. This does not apply to third-party marketplaces or offline channels.
5. Bookings
5.1 How Bookings Work
- You receive Booking notifications by email, SMS, and/or WhatsApp, based on your preferences.
- Activities can be set to instant confirmation or manual confirmation.
- For manual confirmation, you must accept or reject within 24 hours (unless otherwise configured).
- Once confirmed, the Booking is binding.
5.2 Your Obligations
- Accept and deliver all confirmed Bookings as described.
- You may not reject a confirmed Booking except with our prior consent or due to Force Majeure.
- You are responsible for any Customer claim based on inaccurate information or failure to deliver the Activity.
5.3 Vouchers
Customers receive a voucher after confirmation. You must accept valid vouchers, digital or printed, and validate them using the methods provided.
5.4 Subcontracting
You may not subcontract Activities without our written consent. If approved, you remain fully responsible for the subcontractor.
6. Payments
6.1 Payment Models
Full Payment Model: Customer pays 100% online at booking. Turinity retains the Commission and pays you the Net Payable in the next Settlement Period.
Deposit Model: Customer pays a deposit online. You collect the remaining balance on site. The deposit is retained by Turinity as Commission.
No-Show Risk in Deposit Model: If a Customer is a No-Show, Turinity may attempt to charge the remaining balance using the Customer's stored payment details. This is not guaranteed (expired cards, insufficient funds, disputes). By enabling the Deposit Model, you accept the risk of non-collection in No-Show cases.
6.2 Commission
- The Commission rate is set in your Operator Account or in a separate written agreement.
- We may change the Commission with 30 days' prior written notice. If you disagree, you may terminate this Agreement before the new rate takes effect.
6.3 Settlement and Payouts
- Default payout cycle: monthly. By the 10th business day of each month, we transfer your Net Payable for the previous month's Completed Bookings.
- Payouts are made by bank transfer (Wise or similar) to the account registered in your Operator Account.
- For each Settlement Period you will receive a statement showing total Bookings, amounts collected, Commission deducted, Net Payable, and any other deductions.
- You have 30 days to dispute a statement. Disputes raised after 30 days will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
6.4 When We May Withhold Payments
We may withhold or delay payments if:
- Required documentation is missing.
- There are unresolved Customer complaints or disputes.
- Fraud or breach of this Agreement is suspected.
- Chargebacks are pending.
- You owe us amounts (e.g. for refunds issued on your behalf).
We may offset such amounts against current or future settlements.
6.5 Currency
You can select your preferred payout currency from those supported by Turinity.
6.6 Taxes
- You are responsible for all taxes on the sale of your Activities.
- You are responsible for determining your tax obligations, collecting taxes, and remitting them to the authorities.
- For Activities in the Canary Islands, IGIC applies. For mainland Spain, VAT applies. Outside Spain, local tax rules apply.
- You must issue invoices to Customers on request.
6.7 Invoicing Between Turinity and the Operator
- Turinity issues a Commission invoice to the Operator covering only the Commission amount (not the full Retail Price).
- The Net Payable is transferred separately to the Operator by bank transfer.
- IGIC treatment:
- Operators based in the Canary Islands: Commission invoice includes 7% IGIC (IGIC-inclusive).
- Operators based outside the Canary Islands: Commission invoice issued with 0% IGIC and legal note: "OPERACIÓN NO SUJETA A IGIC (Art. 17.Uno.1° Ley 20/1991)".
You must keep your legal, tax, and billing details accurate. We may delay settlement if information is incomplete.
6.8 Chargebacks
- If a Chargeback happens before the Activity, we cancel the Booking and notify you.
- If after the Activity, we will ask you for information within 3 business days to dispute it.
- If the Chargeback is upheld, we will not pay you for that Booking and may offset any amount already paid.
- Turinity is not liable to you for Chargebacks.
7. Cancellations and Refunds
7.1 Cancellation Policies
You can configure your own cancellation policy per Activity through the Operator Portal. Options include:
- Free cancellation deadline (e.g. 24h, 48h, 72h before the Activity).
- Refund amount after the deadline: full, partial (e.g. 50%), or none.
If no policy is set, Turinity's default applies: free cancellation up to 48 hours before, no refund afterward or for No-Shows.
Cancellation policies are shown to Customers before booking.
7.2 Customer Cancellations
Customers must cancel through Turinity, not directly with you. If a Customer contacts you to cancel, redirect them to Turinity.
7.3 Operator Cancellations
If you cancel a Booking for reasons other than Force Majeure:
- The Customer receives a full refund.
- No cancellation fee is charged in normal cases.
- However, repeated unjustified cancellations may lead to suspension or termination of your account.
If you cancel due to Force Majeure:
- Notify Turinity immediately.
- The Customer receives a full refund.
- We may ask for evidence of the Force Majeure event.
7.4 No-Shows
- A No-Show is treated as a Completed Booking for payment purposes.
- You should wait a reasonable time (minimum 15 minutes) and try to contact the Customer before marking a No-Show.
- Mark No-Shows in the Operator Portal.
7.5 Extenuating Circumstances
In exceptional cases (serious illness, death in the family, major travel disruption), Turinity may issue a full refund to the Customer even after the cancellation window. In such cases:
- We verify the circumstances before refunding.
- We will notify you of the circumstances and our decision, and you may provide input before a final decision is made.
- Where possible, we will first try to reschedule before refunding.
- If the refund is issued, you will not receive payment for that Booking, but no cancellation fee applies to you.
7.6 Deposit Model – Balance Collection
- You are responsible for collecting the balance on site.
- If the Customer refuses to pay, you may deny participation. The deposit is non-refundable.
- For No-Shows, see section 6.1. You accept that balance collection is not guaranteed.
8. Delivering Activities
8.1 Service Standards
- You deliver Activities professionally, safely, and as described.
- Your staff have the necessary skills, training, qualifications, licenses, and permits.
- You comply with all applicable laws (health and safety, consumer protection, licensing, insurance, environment, local tourism rules).
8.2 Insurance
You must maintain adequate liability insurance for the Activities you provide. Water-based Activities require marine liability insurance. You must provide insurance certificates on request and inform us of any cancellation or non-renewal.
8.3 Safety
- You are responsible for Customer safety during Activities.
- Provide safety briefings and equipment in good condition.
- You may refuse participation to Customers who don't meet stated requirements or pose a safety risk.

- No discrimination or harassment on any protected characteristic (race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, etc.).
9. Customer Communication
9.1 Use of Customer Data
You may contact Customers only for the purpose of delivering the booked Activity — for example, to coordinate pickups, communicate changes, confirm meeting points, or handle on-site logistics.
You may not:
- Circumvent the platform: encourage Customers to book directly with you outside Turinity. If a Customer asks, direct them back to Turinity.

On Customer request, you must provide an invoice for the Activity complying with applicable tax rules.
9.5 Breach
