3 – SERVICES
LOCALS PLATFORM
LOCALS is a platform that optimizes the partnership/commercial
relationship between Service Providers, Agent Resellers, Locals and Consumers for the promotion and sale of tourist activities provided by
the Service Providers.
LOCALS will provide to the Local an operational tool which allows you
to:
• connect with Service Providers for the promotion of their products
and/or services;
• generate recommendation links for products and/or services
provided by the Service Providers and share such links with
Customers;
• receive rewards for each booking or reservation successfully
completed by Customers by using your recommendation links;
• calculate the rewards you may receive if your recommendation link
generates a booking.
LOCALS has the right to limit the provision of its Services, in particular
at a geographical or agent level. The mentioned right will be
exercised on a case-by-case basis and this limitation will be
communicated in its proper place.
LOCALS may limit the Services offered, namely due to logistical or
legal restrictions.
LOCALS has the right to discontinue any Service at any time. LOCALS
may refuse, limit or cancel any service, always seeking to inform you
to your e-mail address or to the telephone provided at the time of
registration.
4 – GENERATING RECOMMENDATION LINKS
If you know or come across someone (Customer) who is interested in
booking a tourist activity in your city, by using LOCALS you can
generate a recommendation link to such an activity made available
by a Service Provider and gain rewards if your recommendation
generates a successful booking or reservation.
The recommendation link is generated in LOCALS and you may share
it with Customer via SMS, Whatsapp, e-mail, QR code or other tools
available.

By receiving your recommendation link, Customers will be able to
check the services you have recommended (characteristics, prices
and other conditions applicable) and, if it matches their interests, they
will be able to book the services directly with the Service Provider.
For the purposes of sharing the recommendation links, and only when
you have access to personal data of Customers (cell phone number,
e-mail address) you undertake not to store and use such data for any
other purposes than sharing the recommendation link and you
undertake to delete such data right after the sharing of the
recommendation link is successful (unless you obtain specific consent
from the Customer to keep such data).
5 – PRICES
The Service Provider is responsible for defining the prices applicable
to each of the activities/products included in its Portfolio, including the
price of additional services related with them (travels, insurances,
rental of equipment, etc.). All prices defined by the Service Provider
shall be inclusive of all applicable taxes.
You cannot charge to Customers additional prices or fees for sharing
with them your recommendation links.
The use of LOCALS is free. Notwithstanding, LOCALS may decide to
charge a subscription fee or any other type of payment for the use of
the platform in the future.
6 – REWARDS
The generation and share of a reccomendation link does not entitle
you to receive any reward. You will only be entitled to receive a
reward if the customer successfully reserves and pays the service you
have reccomended by using the recommendation link you shared. If
the customer cancels the reservation or asks for a refund, you will not
be entitled to receive any reward.
SALES COMMISSION
In cases where a Customer successfully completes a booking or
reservation by using a recommendation link you shared, LOCALS will
process the payment of such commercial operation. Upon successfully
receiving payment from Customer, LOCALS will earn a certain margin
of the price paid by the Customer, which will vary on a case by case basis, according to the conditions agreed between LOCALS and the
Service Provider.
LOCALS will reward you with 50% of the margin achieved with each
transaction, which will be credited in your LOCALS Account.
LOCALS margin will be calculated considering the price paid by the
Customer, the price paid to the Service Provider and the
administrative costs (a transaction fee correspondent to 2.5% of the
price paid by the Customer plus € 0.25 per booking)
CREDITS
Credits are promotional campaigns promoted by LOCALS. You may
earn by credits by using LOCALS which enable you to earn a higher
percentage of sales commission.
If you have credits available in your Account, for each successful
booking completed by a Customer using your recommendation link,
one credit will be automatically used in the processing of your sales
commission.
For each credit used, LOCALS will pay you an extra percentage of the
sales commission you would usually receive, which, depending on the
terms and conditions of each campaign may be up to 70%.
Accordingly, when you earn a credit, you will receive 70% of the sales
commission generated with such transaction plus the additional sales
commission determined for each campaign, up to 100%, excluding
administrative fees.
Processing of rewards will take up to 48 hours after the Customer has
enjoyed the activity booked by using your recommendation link, and
only if the Customer hasn’t cancelled, re-scheduled and/or
complained about the activity booked.
In exceptional cases, processing of rewards may take more than 48
hours, due to external factors which are not under LOCALS control,
such as, but not limited to: fraudulent use of the Customer credit card
or technical problems. LOCALS will not be liable, under any
circumstances, for the delay in the processing of rewards.
7 – PAYMENTS

You may transfer the amount of the commissions earned to your bank
account by submitting a request for transfer in your Account.
When you ask for the transfer, you will receive a message in LOCALS
confirming the request and an e-mail with the details of the amounts
that will be transferred to you.
Transfer requests are only processed upon issuance of the
correspondent invoice. Please note that transfer requests are
processed on the 15th day of each month. In order to guarantee that
