Terms of Service & Grievance Redressal

These terms explain how RoamSpot supports discovery, booking facilitation, payments, guest responsibilities, and grievance handling for Kerala experiences.

Platform Role & Nature of Services

RoamSpot is a hyperlocal discovery and booking-facilitation platform for tourism experiences, stays, and other locally operated services in Kerala. The underlying experience or stay is supplied and operated by an independent host or operator, not by RoamSpot itself.

We help guests discover listings, communicate booking requests, reserve eligible slots, and coordinate with the desk where applicable. Listing availability, operating conditions, host instructions, and the actual delivery of an experience remain subject to the independent operator.

Experiences and stays may use a token advance through RoamSpot. “Rides” and local guide arrangements are coordinated directly with independent operators, including their commercial and operational arrangements.

Seat Holds & Advance Booking

A booking request may temporarily hold capacity while payment is confirmed. An unpaid hold expires so unused capacity returns to other travellers. Card and UPI checkout is confirmed by the payment provider. You do not type a reference number. A manual UPI reference is used only if that fallback is switched on.

The operative rules for holds, cancellations, and related booking outcomes are maintained in the refund policy rather than duplicated here. See Seat Hold & Cancellation Policy.

Token Advance vs On-Site Balance

For supported experiences and stays, RoamSpot collects only the token advance displayed during the booking flow. Unless a booking screen expressly states otherwise, the remaining balance is paid directly to the host or operator on arrival using the method they accept.

The payment provider confirms a card or UPI token. The desk does not mark that payment received by hand. The host still confirms the booking separately.

Where a full refund applies, the controlling conditions are maintained at Full Refund Terms.

Guest Responsibility & Handshake Security

Guests must provide accurate contact, booking, and payment-reference information, follow host instructions, arrive at the agreed time, and act respectfully toward hosts, local communities, other guests, and the natural environment.

Some bookings use a one-time arrival code as proof of the check-in handshake. The code should be protected like a booking credential and shared only with the appropriate host or desk at arrival. The detailed arrival-code rules are kept at Arrival Code Terms.

Kerala's beaches, backwaters, forests, trails, wildlife areas, and local communities require care. Follow posted safety instructions, environmental restrictions, access rules, and directions from responsible local authorities and operators.

Limitation of Liability & Outdoor Risk

Outdoor tourism can involve conditions beyond a digital platform's control, including weather, water, uneven terrain, trail conditions, wildlife, transport disruption, and other wilderness or activity-specific hazards. Guests should assess their own suitability and follow the operator's safety instructions.

Independent hosts and operators are responsible for the actual delivery, supervision, equipment, local permissions, and operational safety of the service they provide. RoamSpot's role is limited to the discovery, booking-facilitation, communication, and desk-support functions described in these terms.

“Rides” and local-guide arrangements made directly with an independent operator fall outside RoamSpot's token-booking workflow. Their route, fare, vehicle, guide service, timing, and other operator-specific terms are agreed directly with that operator.
