The Website, App, and all other Wander-related products and services, whether or not specifically listed above, and including any content, tools, features, and functionality offered on or through our Website, the App, and any other website or platform or otherwise by Wander and/or its affiliates are interchangeably referred to as the "Wander Services," "Wander Products and Services," or simply as the "Services."

As used in these Terms of Service, "we", "us", "our" and "Wander" and the "Company" means the applicable Wander-related entity providing the Wander Products and Services and/or otherwise acting as a Contracting Party (as defined below), and "you" means the user (if registering for or using a Wander Product or Service as an individual), or the business employing the user (if registering for or using a Wander Product or Service as a business) and any of its affiliates.

Section 9 contains an arbitration clause and class action waiver. By agreeing to these Terms, you agree (a) to resolve all disputes with us related to the Services through binding individual arbitration, which means that you waive any right to have those disputes decided by a judge or jury, and (b) to waive your right to participate in class actions, class arbitrations, or representative actions in connection with your use of the Services. The arbitration clause is governed by federal law. You have the right to opt-out of arbitration as explained in Section 9.

2.2. Subscription and other Product and Services Renewals and Cancellations
You agree that if you purchase a subscription or other Product or Services, your subscription and/or other Products and Services will automatically renew at the period frequency referenced on your subscription, purchase order or contract page (or if not designated, then yearly) and at the then-current rates, and your payment method will automatically be charged at the start of each new period for the fees and taxes applicable to that period.

2.4. No Subscription Refunds
Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, payments for any subscriptions to or other use of the Products and Services are nonrefundable and there are no credits for partially used periods.

The person signing up for the Service by opening an Account, or signing any form of contract, purchase order or agreement will be the contracting party ("User") for the purposes of our Terms of Service and will be the person who is authorized to use any corresponding Account we may provide in connection with the Service. If you are signing up for the Services on behalf of your employer, your employer will be the User. If you are signing up for the Services on behalf of your employer, then you must use your employer-issued email address and you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind your employer to our Terms of Service.

3. Orders for Products and/or Services
3.1. Payment
The Services may permit you to purchase certain other products or services, including products or services of third parties that are offered through the Services ("Offerings"). You acknowledge and agree that all information you provide with regards to a purchase of Offerings, including, without limitation, credit card, PayPal, or other payment information, is accurate, current, and complete. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use the payment method you provide to us or our payment processor, including, without limitation, any credit card you provide when completing a transaction. We reserve the right, with or without prior notice and in our sole and complete discretion, to (a) discontinue, modify, or limit the available quantity of any Offerings, and (b) refuse to allow any user to purchase any Offering or deliver such Offerings to a user or a user-designated address. When you purchase Offerings, you (a) agree to pay the price for such Offerings as set forth in the applicable Service, and all shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes in connection with your purchase (the "Full Purchase Amount"), and (b) authorize us to charge your credit card or other payment method for the Full Purchase Amount.

Payment can be made by credit card, debit card, or through Apple Pay or other means that we may make available. Orders will not be processed until payment has been received in full, and any holds on your account by any payment processor are solely your responsibility.
3.2. Promotional Codes
We may offer certain promotional codes, referral codes, discount codes, coupon codes or similar offers ("Promotional Codes") that may be redeemed for discounts on future Offerings, or other features or benefits related to the Services, subject to any additional terms that the Company establishes. You agree that Promotional Codes: (a) must be used in a lawful manner; (b) must be used for the intended audience and purpose; (c) may not be duplicated, sold or transferred in any manner, or made available by you to the general public (whether posted to a public forum, coupon collecting service, or otherwise), unless expressly permitted by the Company; (d) may be disabled or have additional conditions applied to them by the Company at any time for any reason without liability to the Company; (e) may only be used pursuant to the specific terms that the Company establishes for such Promotional Code; (f) are not valid for cash or other credits or points; and (g) may expire prior to your use.
3.3. Gift Cards
Tangible and/or digital gift cards containing stored money value may be offered by us for the purchase of Offerings ("Gift Cards"). You acknowledge that the Company does not make any warranties with respect to your Gift Card balance and is not responsible for any unauthorized access to, or alteration, theft, or destruction of a Gift Card or Gift Card code that results from any action by you or a third party. You also acknowledge that we may suspend or prohibit use of your Gift Card if your Gift Card or Gift Card code has been reported lost or stolen, or if we believe your Gift Card balance is being used suspiciously, fraudulently, or in an otherwise unauthorized manner. If your Gift Card code stops working, your only remedy is for us to issue you a replacement Gift Card code. By purchasing a Gift Card, you represent and warrant to the Company that use of the Gift Card will comply with these Terms and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and the Gift Card will not be used in any manner that is misleading, deceptive, unfair or otherwise harmful to consumers. Gift Cards cannot be used to purchase other gift cards, reloaded, resold, used for payment outside of the Services, used for unauthorized marketing, sweepstakes, advertising, or other promotional purposes, redeemed for more than face value, transferred for value, redeemed for cash, or returned for a cash refund (except to the extent required by law). Gift Cards do not expire, and the Company will not assess a service fee or dormancy fee with respect to a Gift Card.
3.4. Changes and Pricing
The Company may, at any time, revise or change the pricing, availability, specifications, content, descriptions, or features of any products, Services and Offerings. While we attempt to be as accurate as we can in our descriptions for the Offerings, we do not warrant that Offering descriptions are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If an Offering itself is not as described on the Services, your sole remedy is to return it (for physical products, in unused condition). The inclusion of any Offerings for purchase through the Services at a particular time does not imply or warrant that the Offerings will be available at any other time. We reserve the right to change prices for Offerings displayed on the Services at any time, and to correct pricing errors that may inadvertently occur (and to cancel any orders in our sole discretion that were purchased with pricing errors). All such changes shall be effective immediately upon posting of such new Offering prices to the Services and/or upon making the customer aware of the pricing error.
3.5. Order Acceptance; Shipment
Once we receive your order for an Offering, we will provide you with an order confirmation. Your receipt of an order confirmation, however, does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell; we are simply confirming that we received your order. We reserve the right at any time after receiving your order to accept or decline your order for any reason and at our sole discretion. If we cancel an order after you have already been billed, then we will refund the billed amount. Title and risk of loss for any purchases of physical products pass to you upon our delivery to our carrier. We reserve the right to ship partial orders (at no additional cost to you), and the portion of any order that is partially shipped may be charged at the time of shipment. All orders of physical products are shipped using one of our third-party couriers. Online tracking may be available at our courier’s website (for example, FedEx), though we make no warranties regarding its availability because it is not under our control. While deliveries may be scheduled for a specified arrival, we cannot guarantee delivery by any specific date or time.
3.6. Returns, Refunds or Exchanges
All Services are non-refundable and are not eligible for returns or exchanges except as provided in Wander’s Rules and Policies related to Guest stays.

8. Disclaimers, Limitations of Liability and Indemnification
8.1. Disclaimers
- (a) Your access to and use of the Services and Properties are at your own risk. Some Properties have pools, hot tubs, golf carts, e-bikes and watercraft and some are located on oceans, ocean cliffs, mountainsides, bays, lakes and rivers. Each and all of these activities, locations, and instrumentalities have inherent risks associated with them. You acknowledge these risks and the need to exercise appropriate care when using the Services and Properties. You understand and agree that the Services and Properties are provided to you on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, the Company, its parents, affiliates, related companies, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, partners and licensors (the "Company Entities") DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
- (b) THE COMPANY ENTITIES TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY AND ASSUME NO LIABILITY FOR ANY CONTENT THAT YOU, ANOTHER USER, OR A THIRD PARTY CREATES, UPLOADS, POSTS, SENDS, RECEIVES, OR STORES ON OR THROUGH OUR SERVICES.
- (c) YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU MAY BE EXPOSED TO CONTENT THAT MIGHT BE OFFENSIVE, ILLEGAL, MISLEADING, OR OTHERWISE INAPPROPRIATE, NONE OF WHICH THE COMPANY ENTITIES WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR.
8.2. Limitations of Liability
TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT WILL THE COMPANY ENTITIES BE LIABLE (A) FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, LOSS OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OR LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES), HOWEVER, CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER UNDER THESE TERMS OR OTHERWISE ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) EVEN IF THE COMPANY ENTITIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, OR (B) FOR ANY OTHER CLAIM, DEMAND OR DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE DELIVERY, USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES. SOME JURISDICTIONS (SUCH AS THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY) DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THE COMPANY ENTITIES’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES FINALLY AWARDED SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00), OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID THE COMPANY ENTITIES, IF ANY, IN THE PAST SIX (6) MONTHS FOR THE SERVICES (OR OFFERINGS PURCHASED ON THE SERVICES) GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE ABOVE-STATED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
8.3. Indemnification
By entering into these Terms and accessing or using the Services, you agree that you shall defend, indemnify and hold the Company Entities harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by the Company Entities arising out of or in connection with: (a) your violation or breach of any term of these Terms or any applicable law or regulation; (b) your violation of any rights of any third party; (c) your misuse of the Services; (d) Your Content; or (e) your negligence or willful misconduct. If you are obligated to indemnify any Company Entity hereunder, then you agree that Company (or, at its discretion, the applicable Company Entity) will have the right, in its sole discretion, to control any action or proceeding and to determine whether Company wishes to settle, and if so, on what terms, and you agree to fully cooperate with Company in the defense or settlement of such claim.
9. Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
9.1. Informal Process First
You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and the Company Entities, you will first contact the Company and make a good faith, sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation, any court action. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by federal law.
9.2. Arbitration Agreement
After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to your use of the Company’s services and/or products, including the Services, will be resolved by arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the Claim, except as permitted herein. You and the Company agree that any Claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and the JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards (together, the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms). Arbitration will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction. You have a right to have the arbitration conducted via telephone, videoconference, or as an in-person hearing in your hometown area (if you live in the United States) or another location that is reasonably convenient to you.
9.3. Waiver of Class Actions and Class Arbitrations
You and Company agree that each party may bring Claims against the other party only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, including without limitation federal or state class actions or class arbitrations. Accordingly, under the arbitration procedures outlined in this section, an arbitrator shall not combine or consolidate more than one party’s claims without the written consent of all affected parties to an arbitration proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you and Company agree that no dispute shall proceed by way of class arbitration without the written consent of all affected parties.
9.4. Costs of Arbitration
Payment for any and all reasonable JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the JAMS Rules. If the value of your claim does not exceed $10,000, the Company will pay for the reasonable filing, administrative and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, except that if you have initiated the arbitration claim, you will still be required to pay the lesser of $250 or the maximum amount permitted under the JAMS Rules for arbitration claims initiated by you. You are still responsible for all additional costs that you incur in the arbitration, including without limitation, fees for attorneys or expert witnesses.
9.5. Opt-Out
You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and waiver of class provisions set forth in these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to Legal@Wander.com or to the U.S. mailing address listed in the “How to Contact Us” section of these Terms. The notice must be sent to the Company within thirty (30) days of your registering to use the Services or agreeing to these Terms (or if this Section 9 is amended hereafter, within 30 days of such amendment being effective); otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with these Terms, and the notice must specify your name and mailing address. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, the Company also will not be bound by them.
9.6. Exceptions
Notwithstanding anything in these Terms to the contrary, you may instead assert your Claim in “small claims” court, but only if your Claim qualifies, your Claim remains only in such court, and your Claim remains on an individual, non-representative and non-class basis. Further, you and the Company will have the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, or if the Claim relates to intellectual property infringement or misappropriation.
10. Additional Provisions
10.1. SMS Messaging, emails and Phone Calls
Certain portions of the Services may allow us to contact you via telephone, email or text messages. You agree that the Company may contact you via telephone, email or text messages (including by an automatic telephone dialing system) at any of the phone numbers provided by you or on your behalf in connection with your use of the Services, including for marketing purposes. You understand that you are not required to provide this consent as a condition of purchasing any Offerings. You may receive SMS from “WANDER” or 926337. You also understand that you may opt out of receiving text messages from us at any time, either by replying with the word “STOP” using the mobile device that is receiving the messages, or by contacting Legal@Wander.com. You may opt out of emails by sending a return email opting out or contacting Legal@Wander.com. If you do not choose to opt out, we may contact you as outlined in our Privacy Policy.
10.2. Updating These Terms
We may modify these Terms from time to time in which case we will update the “Last Revised” date at the top of these Terms. If we make changes that are material, we will use reasonable efforts to attempt to notify you, such as by e-mail and/or by placing a prominent notice on the first page of the Website. However, it is your sole responsibility to review these Terms from time to time to view any such changes. The updated Terms will be effective as of the time of posting, or such later date as may be specified in the updated Terms. Your continued access or use of the Services after the modifications have become effective will be deemed your acceptance of the modified Terms.
10.3. Termination of License and Your Account
If you breach any of the provisions of these Terms, all licenses granted by the Company will terminate automatically. Additionally, the Company may suspend, disable, or delete your Account and/or the Services (or any part of the foregoing) with or without notice, for any or no reason. If the Company deletes your Account for any suspected breach of these Terms by you, you are prohibited from re-registering for the Services under a different name. In the event of Account deletion for any reason, the Company may, but is not obligated to, delete any of Your Content. The Company shall not be responsible for the failure to delete or deletion of Your Content. All sections which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding any termination of these Terms by the Company or you. Termination will not limit any of the Company’s other rights or remedies at law or in equity.
10.4. Injunctive Relief
You agree that a breach of these Terms will cause irreparable injury to the Company for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security or proof of damages.
10.5. California Residents
If you are a California resident, in accordance with Cal. Civ. Code § 1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112 Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.
10.6. Non-Disparagement
User and Wander specifically agree not to disparage the other in any way with respect to their business relationship or otherwise.
10.7. Miscellaneous
If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms and the licenses granted hereunder may be assigned by the Company but may not be assigned by you without the prior express written consent of the Company. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for reference only and shall not be read to have any legal effect. The Services are operated by us in the United States. Those who choose to access the Services from locations outside the United States do so at their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of laws rules, and the proper venue for any disputes arising out of or relating to any of the same will be the arbitration venue set forth in Section 9, or if arbitration does not apply, then the state and federal courts located in Austin, Texas. You and the Company agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to the interpretation or construction of these Terms.
10.8. How to Contact Us
You may contact us regarding the Services or these Terms by e-mail at Legal@Wander.com.
10.9. Modifications
We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to update or change any portion of the Terms of Service at any time. We will provide you with reasonable advance notice of changes to the Terms of Service that materially adversely affect your use of the Services or your rights under the Terms of Service by sending an email to the Primary Email Address, providing notice through the administrative dashboards, or by similar means. However, Wander may make changes that materially adversely affect your use of the Services or your rights under the Terms of Service at any time and with immediate effect (i) for legal, regulatory, fraud and abuse prevention, or security reasons; or (ii) to restrict products or activities that we deem unsafe, inappropriate, or offensive. Unless we indicate otherwise in our notice (if applicable), any changes to the Terms of Service will be effective immediately upon posting of such updated terms at this location. Your continued access to or use of the Services after we provide such notice, if applicable, or after we post such updated terms, constitutes your acceptance of the changes and consent to be bound by the Terms of Service as amended. We may likewise change fees and payments required for use of the Products and Services from time to time without advance notice and you agree Wander shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modifications to the Terms of Service, fees for Services or discontinuance of Services. If you do not agree to the amended Terms of Service or fees, you must stop accessing and using the Services.
10.10. Additional Miscellaneous Terms of Service
The Terms of Service, including the documents it incorporates by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Wander and govern your use of the Services and your Account, superseding any prior agreements between you and Wander (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms of Service).
The failure of Wander to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms of Service, including all terms and conditions and other documents it incorporates by reference, is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such provision will be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent allowed by law, and the remaining provision of the Terms of Service will remain in full force and effect.
No person or entity who is not a party to these Terms of Service will have any right to enforce any term of these Terms of Service, regardless of whether such person or entity has been identified by name, as a member of a class or as answering a particular description. For the avoidance of doubt, this will not affect the rights of any permitted assignee or transferee of these Terms.
The Terms of Service will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the laws of the United States without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.
The Terms of Service may be available in languages other than English. To the extent of any inconsistencies or conflicts between these English Terms of Service and Wander’s Terms of Service available in another language, the most current English version of the Terms of Service will prevail. Any disputes arising out of these Terms of Service will be resolved in English or as required by applicable law.
All the terms and provisions of the Terms of Service will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to the Terms of Service and to their respective heirs, successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives. Wander will be permitted to assign these Terms of Service without notice to you or consent from you. You will have no right to assign or otherwise transfer the Terms of Service, or any of your rights or obligations hereunder, to any third party without Wander’s prior written consent, to be given or withheld in Wander’s sole discretion.
If any provision, or portion of the provision, in these Terms of Service is, for any reason, held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision (or the unaffected portion of the provision) of the Terms of Service, and the Terms of Service will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, or portion of the provision, had never been contained within the Terms of Service.
On termination, all of your related rights and obligations under the Terms of Service immediately terminate, except that you will remain responsible for performing all of your obligations in connection with transactions entered into before termination and for any liabilities that accrued before or as a result of termination. The Company’s rights under the Terms of Service survive termination or expiration of these Terms of Service.
11. Eviction, Criminal Prosecution and Related Remedies for Unauthorized Use, Fraud and Other Misconduct or Violation of Certain Terms and Conditions and Policies
11.1. Eviction from the Property and Criminal Prosecution
You acknowledge that Wander has the right to evict any Guest from the property and cancel any existing rental agreement, without credits or refund, for misrepresentations in the booking process, misrepresentations in the rental agreement, use of false payment or identification methods, failure to vacate the premises at the end of the agreed rental term, or other violation of these Terms of Service and Wander’s Rules and Policies. If you are on the premises by false pretenses of any kind, including but not limited to credit card fraud or impersonation, you will be considered to have criminally trespassed on the property and stolen our services, and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Wander has the right to evict you from the premises for any violation of the above policies and may call the police to assist us in doing so and/or to press criminal charges when appropriate. Please also be aware that if the police or other law enforcement officers are called to the home for any reason we reserve the right to have them evict you from the property immediately.
12. Data Deletion Instructions
By applicable laws and regulations, we will delete or anonymize personal information once it is no longer needed for its intended purpose or upon request from the individual whose data is being stored. To delete your account and associated personal data, please access your profile within the Mobile App and select the “Delete your account” option; if you experience any problems, contact us at hello@wander.com.
Please note that some data may need to be retained for legal or regulatory purposes, and in such cases, we will ensure that it is kept secure and confidential. By using our services, you agree to our data deletion instructions and acknowledge that we will do our best to comply with all applicable data protection regulations.
13. Prohibited Use – Competitive Purposes
You may not access or use Wander’s Products or Services, including but not limited to its artificial intelligence-powered functionality, for the purpose of developing, training, or enhancing a competing product or service.
