2. Purpose and Services
Here & Away operates a travel platform that curates and showcases unique hotels, vacation rentals, and other accommodations. The primary purpose of the Platform is to provide travelers with access to information about distinctive properties, enabling them to make informed decisions when choosing where to stay. In addition, we facilitate connections between travelers and property owners or third-party booking platforms but do not directly handle bookings or any other transactions. All bookings, agreements, and related arrangements are made exclusively between the traveler and the respective property owner or booking platform, and Here & Away is not a party to those agreements.
Here & Away also operates an online store featuring curated travel-related merchandise and items that reflect the spirit of travel. All purchases made through the store are subject to these T&C. The store is operated directly by Here & Away, and all transactions, including payments, refunds, and order fulfillment, are managed by Here & Away or our third-party fulfillment partner. We do not store any credit card information; payments are processed securely through third-party payment processors. Additionally, all orders are shipped directly by our on-demand fulfillment partner, which handles the shipping and delivery of all products. Some items may also be offered through affiliated links, and purchases made through those links are fulfilled and handled entirely by the third-party partner. For any issues related to store purchases, including product availability or delivery, customers should contact Here & Away directly or reach out to the third-party fulfillment partner, as applicable.
