Tourists can also fill in a form to describe their visit in greater detail. GuideYourTrip will send the “Tourist User” the coordinates of the guides corresponding to his/her search, also free of charge.
The contract is between the guide and the tourist. GuideYourTrip shall not be liable in any way for this contract.
All terms and conditions regarding rates, payment, insurance, logistics, locations, dates, schedules and cancellations are to be agreed exclusively between the guide and the tourist.
GuideYourTrip, as a third party to this contract, is in no way bound by its terms, pursuant to the provisions of article 1165 of the French Civil Code.

SECTION 2 – REGISTRATION ON THE GUIDEYOURTRIP WEBSITE

Please note: registration on the guideyourtrip.com website by the “Guide user” is of course a prerequisite for displaying his/her contact details on the site.

Once validated, registration will enable the “Guide user” to appear on the guideyourtrip.com website in the destination corresponding to his/her visits, and to create a dedicated page.

2-1 REGISTRATION CONDITIONS – ACCOUNT CREATION

Can register as a “Guide user”:

• Any natural person aged 18 or over who enjoys full legal capacity under French law.
• Any legal entity operating as a guide.
• Individuals and companies will be asked to confirm whether or not they hold a certified guide’s license. The validation of this information implies that it will or will not be annotated on the page describing their activity.
• Prior registration on the guideyourtrip.com website is mandatory.

The “Guide User” must create an account using the registration form available on the guideyourtrip.com website. Access to this form will be provided by email request to guides@guideyourtrip.com. The Guide undertakes to complete all mandatory fields in the form and to provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information.

Full validation of the “Guide user”: based on 4 criteria.

With the information from the form, the dedicated guide page can be consulted on the site, and the “Guide user” is asked to validate it.

It is materially impossible for GuideYourTrip to verify the accuracy or veracity of the information provided.

The “Guide user” acknowledges that the provision of any erroneous, incomplete, misleading or out-of-date information when registering is likely to engage his or her liability towards the site and the “Tourist user”.

2-2 CANCELLATION CONDITIONS

The “Guide” user may unsubscribe at any time by sending a simple request by email to guides@guideyourtrip.com.

• the address where the Professional Guide is based, its e-mail address and telephone number

The “Guide User” is not bound to GuideYourTrip by any commitment other than these General Terms and Conditions of Use, and in particular by no exclusivity or non-competition clause.

However, GuideYourTrip may help the “Guide user” in a “friendly” way to win the case in the event of a proven dispute.
