EXPATGENIUS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RELATED TO ANY AND ALL LISTINGS AND SERVICES. ACCORDINGLY, ANY BOOKINGS WILL BE MADE OR ACCEPTED AT THE MEMBER'S OWN RISK.

Services Listings

As a Genius, you may create Listings. To create a Listing, you will be asked a variety of questions about the Services to be listed, including, but not limited to, the location, services typology, availability, pricing (per hour and/or flat fee) and related rules and financial terms. In order to be featured in Listings via the Site, Application and Services, all Services must have been reviewed and approved by ExpatGenius team. Listings will be made publicly available via the Site, Application and Services. You understand and agree that the placement or ranking of Listings in search results may depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, Expats and Geniuses preferences, ratings and/or ease of booking.

Other Members will be able to book your Services via the Site, Application and Services based upon the information provided in your Listing, your requirements, and Expats' search parameters and preferences. You understand and agree that once a Expat receives a Quote for your Services, you may not request the Expat to pay a higher price than in the Quote sent.

You acknowledge and agree that you alone are responsible for any and all Listings and Member Content you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Listing you post and the booking of, or a Expat's service in a Listing you post (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws, Tax requirements, Intellectual Property laws, and rules and regulations that may apply to any service included in a Listing you post (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties.
