3. Nature of the Platform

3.1 Marketplace Role

Dawdle operates solely as a technology platform that facilitates discovery and connection between individuals seeking travel experiences ("Users" or "Travelers") and independent third-party hosts, guides, businesses, or service providers ("Providers").

  • A party to any contract between Users and Providers

All experiences, services, and activities are offered, operated, and delivered exclusively by Providers.

3.2 No Agency Relationship

No agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or fiduciary relationship is created between Dawdle and any Provider or User. Providers act independently and are solely responsible for their services, compliance with laws, safety, licensing, insurance, pricing, and representations.

4. Services Description

The Services may include:

  • Listings or profiles created by Providers
  • AI-powered discovery, search, and itinerary recommendation tools
  • Messaging or contact functionality
  • Links or referrals to third-party booking or affiliate partners

Dawdle does not guarantee availability, accuracy, quality, pricing, or suitability of any experience or Provider.

5. Payments, Bookings, and Affiliates

5.1 No Direct Payments

At this time, Dawdle does not directly process payments for third-party travel tickets or accommodation. Any bookings or payments occur directly between Users and Providers, or through third-party affiliate partners. Dawdle is not responsible for payment processing, chargebacks, refunds, or taxes.

5.2 Third-Party Terms

If you are redirected to a third-party platform, your transaction is governed by that third party's terms and policies.
