Terms of use
These Standard Business Travel Service Terms (the Terms, including all schedules and appendices) govern a Customer’s acquisition and use of TravelPerk’s services (the Services, as defined in the Appendix to these Terms). A Customer agrees to these Terms if it clicks to accept them or executes an Order Form that references these Terms. If you are accessing or using the Services on behalf of your company, you represent that you are authorised to accept these Terms on behalf of your company, and all references to "you" or "the Customer" reference your company. To the extent of any conflict between the provisions of these Terms and the Order Form, the provisions of the Order Form shall prevail. TravelPerk (acting through the entity detailed in any Order Form or by reference to Clause 16 below) reserves the right to update, revise or amend the Terms at any time, in which case it will provide the Customer with reasonable prior notice (including its updated Standard Business Travel Service Terms, and the date by which will they take effect). Customer’s continued use of the Platform and Services following such date shall constitute Customer’s acceptance of such terms. Customer may vary certain Services it receives from TravelPerk directly through the Platform (including the nature of its subscriptions). These Terms were last updated on 25 September 2024. |

2 PLATFORM SERVICES
2.1 TravelPerk will provide to Customer the Services selected by the Customer on the Platform or as may be indicated in the Order Form.

2.5 The Services are made available to facilitate in-real life connections for business purposes. TravelPerk and Customer each agree that the Agreement is a "general agreement" for the booking of travel services in connection with the Customer's trade, business, craft or profession and therefore outside the scope of the Package Travel Directive (Directive (EU) 2015/2302 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015) ("PTD") and any laws and regulations implemented by European member states to give effect to the PTD, and where applicable, the Civil Aviation (Air Travel Organiser's Licensing) Regulations 2012. As such, these regulations shall not apply to TravelPerk's provision of/and Customer's receipt of the Services contemplated under this Agreement.
3 TRAVEL SUPPLIER SERVICES
3.1 The parties shall follow the required process and terms of the Travel Supplier for modification and cancellation of bookings.

Information regarding such deductions shall be made available to Travellers via the Platform. Any refund(s) shall be applied to the original payment method for automatic payment methods or, for other payment methods, by discounting such charge from Customer’s next invoice or by credit note.

Customer acknowledges and understands that it shall remain responsible for the timely payment of all invoices, including any agreed by TravelPerk to be addressed to a Customer Affiliate. TravelPerk acknowledges that an Affiliate’s timely payment of an invoice will discharge Customer’s payment obligations under this Agreement (in respect of such invoice only). Customer confirms that its relevant Affiliates have been notified of the invoicing and payment terms indicated in the Order Form, together with these Terms and shall procure the Affiliates’ compliance with any terms that apply to it.

5.8 Customer shall make all payments for the Services without withholding or deduction, unless required by law. If any such withholding or deduction is required by law, when making the payment to which the withholding or deduction relates, Customer shall pay to TravelPerk such additional amount, so that that TravelPerk receives the same total amount that it would have received if no such withholding or deduction had been made.

6.3 Customer acknowledges and agrees that TravelPerk may freely use or exploit any feedback, suggestion or request that it provides in respect of the Services.

6.4 Customer authorises TravelPerk to use Customer’s name, trademark, and logo (according to the designs and guidelines communicated by Customer to TravelPerk from time to time), solely for the purpose of identifying Customer as a customer of TravelPerk. Any further use of Customer’s name, trademark and logo for promotional purposes shall be subject to Customer’s prior written approval.
6.5 TravelPerk will defend Customer (and to the extent relevant its Affiliate(s)) against any claim, demand or proceeding made or brought against Customer by a third party alleging that any Service infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights, and will indemnify Customer from, subject to the limits set out at Clause 8.5 (below), any damages, legal fees and costs finally awarded against Customer, or for amounts paid by Customer under a settlement approved by TravelPerk in writing.

b) a claim arises from Customer content or Customer’s breach of this Agreement.

9 GREENPERK SERVICES
9.1 TravelPerk's carbon-neutral business travel program enables TravelPerk customers to compensate for their CO₂ emissions (on a per Trip basis) directly through the Platform. This service enables customers to see exactly how much carbon dioxide their business travel is emitting and how much it is offsetting - supporting them to make more sustainable travel decisions.
9.2 Customers pay for such service on a per-Trip basis. On average, just 0.9% of a Trip's total price can offset 100% of its carbon emissions. TravelPerk charges a fixed price of €10 per CO₂ tonne. The final cost per Trip will always depend on the travel choices – by e.g., trains emit fewer CO₂ emissions than planes. TravelPerk automatically calculates the cost of offsetting each Trip for its customers at checkout.
9.3 TravelPerk works with multiple partners to divide the contributions into different sustainable carbon offsetting projects. Every quarter, TravelPerk reports to its customers which projects have been invested in and why.
9.4 A TravelPerk customer can cancel their participation in this program at any time through the Platform.
