    2. The Website and our App allow you to book and pay for a broad range of activities, class and entertainment services from a variety of providers (our Partners). Those Services are provided by our various Partners and not by us. Spotimist is responsible for taking and concluding your bookings as the commercial agent of the relevant Partners. The provision of the Services booked via our Website or our App is the responsibility of the Partner which provides them. In the event you pay for Services via the Website or App, your payment will either be paid directly to the relevant Partner or will be received by us acting as commercial agent on behalf of the Partner. If we receive payment as commercial agent on behalf of the relevant Partner, our receipt of the correct payment will discharge your debt to that Partner.
    3. The legal implication of this is that when you purchase Services, it will create two binding legal contracts:
      1. contract between you and Spotimist (under which Spotimist has certain responsibilities to you in relation to the purchase or booking) (the “Spotimist Contract”). That contract is made based on these Booking Terms and Conditions; and
      2. contract between you and the relevant Partner in respect of the provision or supply of the Services which you book through the Website or our App (the “Partner Contract”). That contract is subject to certain provisions of these Booking Terms and Conditions including the cancellation period as defined herein, which we will notify you of before you make a booking either on the relevant Partner's page on the Website or via our App.
    4. All Services available for purchase on the Website or via our App are offered by Spotimist on behalf of its Partners.
