12. Financial arrangements

  • When issuing Hihome Invitations Hosts state the fees that they will charge each Guest, these fees are quoted inclusive of all sales and analogous or other taxes (the “Host’s Charges”).Hihome arranges a service for these fees to be collected and held in a third-party trust account on terms that the funds will be paid in accordance with these T&Cs (arranging this collection and holding service constitutes a part of the Hihome Services).Hihome may charge Guests a fee for the use of the Hihome Services (the “Hihome Fees”).Acceptance of a Hihome Invitation constitutes agreement to pay the Host’s Charges and any Hihome Fees (the “Transaction Fees”).The total amount of the Transaction Fees is the amount payable by the Guest in respect of each Hihome Invitation at the time that the Guest accepts the Hihome Invitation.

  • Where applicable, the Hihome Fees are calculated as a variable percentage of the Host’s Charges.Any Hihome Fees are payable by the Guests at the same time as payment of the Host’s Charges.To the extent that the Hihome Fees are subject to sales taxes, such as VAT, these taxes will be included in the total amount payable by the Guest in respect of the Transaction Fees. Where Hihome charges Hihome Fees it shall on request provide an invoice in respect of those Hihome Fees, separately identifying any sales taxes charged by Hihome.

  • Hosts agree and acknowledge that they are responsible for discharging all of their own tax obligations (including sales taxes including, but not limited to, VAT) whether these are imposed on a state, local or other level. Hihome assumes no obligations whatsoever in this regard. In particular, Hihome assumes no responsibility (actual or deemed) to notify or explain to Hosts, or to enquire into, the VAT or sales taxes treatment of any Hosts or Hosted Events.

  • If Hihome so requires for the purposes of its dealings with any tax or regulatory authority, Hosts and Guests shall provide to Hihome, promptly on request, any information, data, documentation and/or copies of communications (whether in electronic format or otherwise) which relate to Hosted Events in which they have participated. Hosts shall, promptly on request, provide to Hihome all reasonable assistance in any discussion or dispute with any tax authority with respect to the VAT or sales tax treatment of Hosted Events in which those Hosts have participated.Each Host agrees to indemnify Hihome for any VAT or similar sales tax obligations which Hihome is required to pay and which arise wholly from Hosted Events hosted by that Host.

  • You may only make payments in respect of Hihome Invitations through the payment processing facilities provided on the Hihome Websites, by special arrangement with Hihome through its direct booking services or of through a third-party agency that is authorised by Hihome to provide those parts of the Hihome Services relating to processing payments.Please check with Hihome to ensure that any third-party with whom you are dealing is properly authorised by Hihome.If the Hihome Invitation is transacted through an authorised third-party you may not be required to pay any Hihome Fees, but the authorised third-party agent may instead charge an administration fee.

  • You agree that the sole and exclusive role and responsibility of Hihome (and any of its authorised third-party agents) in providing Hihome Services relating to processing payments is to arrange the collection of payments from Guests and for the payment of the amounts collected in accordance with these T&Cs (and you agree that they have no other or further liability to you in respect of any payment made).

  • Payments are made by Guests through selected payment providers.The terms on which the payment providers hold funds are stated in their terms.Hihome may receive amounts due to Hosts from payment providers, where it does so such funds will be held in a bank account until they are transferred to the Host (or, where appropriate, reimbursed to the Guest).

  • Hihome may “round off” numbers to the nearest functional base unit in the relevant currency.Hihome uses commercial currency exchange operators and registered users accept the risks in fluctuations in currency exchange rates. 

13. Insurance, disputes, resolution and refunds

  • Guests may need to cancel a Hihome Invitation that they have previously accepted, in such cases please contact Hihome at [email protected]. Guests shall qualify for a full refund of the Host’s Charges if (a) the Guest notifies Hihome and the Host of cancellation during usual business hours in Riyadh (being 9am to 5pm on weekdays other than public holidays) at least 48 hours before the date on which the relevant Hosted Event is due, or (b) if the Host cancels the Hosted Event for any reason.
  • We hope all Guests enjoy every Hosted Event, however sometimes things go wrong and if a Guest believes that the Host failed to fulfil an essential obligation of the Hosted Event then the Guest may until midnight on the day following the date on which the relevant Hosted Event was scheduled to take place request that the whole or a part of the payment is refunded by sending an email to [email protected] specifying the Hosted Event reference, identifying the Host, specifying the amount of the Transaction Fees, saying how much the Guest wishes to be reimbursed and giving as much information as possible in relation to the problem/ relevant failures/ reasons for believing that payment should be refunded.
  • If you have a dispute relating to a Hosted Event, we encourage you (although this is not compulsory) to contact our claims department in order to try to resolve the dispute amicably. Our claims service can be contacted: 
  • By email at the following address: [email protected]
  • By telephone on:+966507368814
  • By post at Hihome company (addres)
  • It is important that if, as a Guest, you are not satisfied with a Hosted Event you notify Hihome before midnight on the day following the date on which the relevant Hosted Event was scheduled to take place.Once Hihome has released funds to the Host, it is unable to offer Guests any remedy.
  • Following receipt of a refund request Hihome may direct that an amount up to the entire value of the Transaction Fees paid by the Guest (less payment transaction costs and any third-party agency fees that Hihome is not entitled to recover) is refunded to the Guest.If, however, Hihome believes that the complaint is without merit, of limited merit or that Hihome is not able to assess the merit of the complaint, then Hihome may direct that the whole or any part of the Transaction Fees are paid to the Host and/ or that the balance (if any) is withheld pending resolution of the dispute between the relevant Host and the Guest.If no such resolution has been reached within six months, Hihome may direct that 50% of the disputed element of the Host’s Charges is paid to the Host and that 50% of the disputed element of the Host’s Charges is paid to the Guest (and the Hihome Fees shall be paid to Hihome) or may make such other arrangements as then appear appropriate to it (which may include making payment as directed by a Court of competent jurisdiction).Hihome shall have no further or other liability or responsibility to the Host and Guest in respect of any such claim to be refunded.You agree to abide by decisions made by Hihome (even if the decision appears perverse to .you)

  • Hihome agrees to use reasonable endeavours to assess merits of claims and to act in good faith toward Guests and Hosts, however you agree that it has no responsibility or liability to you for any assessment it makes in relation to the merits of any claim between Guests and Hosts or any direction it gives as to the payments to be made to Guests or Hosts in accordance with this clause 8 and you also agree that Hihome may make or decline refunds and payments pursuant to these T&Cs and that if and to the extent it does so it shall have no further liability or obligation to you or the Host or Guest.

  • Hihome will endeavour to make refunds to Guests through the same payment facility through which the payment was originally made. Where it is not possible to make such a refund, it will may require other verification before the refund can be processed.The Guest agrees to bear the cost of currency exchanges and risks in fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

  • By accepting these T&Cs you agree that if Hihome has followed the processes mentioned above in good faith it shall have no further or other liability or obligation to you.

  • Hihome has no responsibility or liability in respect of any failing by a payment processor or authorised agent.

  • The Hihome platform serves as a trusted intermediary between Hosts and Guests and maintains itself through the service fee included in each Guests' booking. In the case that a Host or Guest offers payment alternatives outside of the platform, Hihome is no longer responsible and reserves the right to disable the Host's Hihome account.
