Updated November 17, 2021
These terms and conditions ("User Terms") apply to your visit to and your use of the MassageBook website at www.massagebook.com (the "Website") and the related Application (as defined below), as well as to all information, recommendations and/or services provided to you on or through the Website, the Service and the Application (altogether, the “Services”).
PLEASE READ THESE USER TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE DOWNLOADING OUR APPLICATION AND/OR USING OUR SERVICE.
These User Terms constitute a contract between you as a user of the Services (a “User”) and 2Book, Inc. ("we," “us,” or “2Book”). These User Terms may be amended or altered at any time by us, and we will notify you of any material changes. By using and continuing to use the Application or the Service, you consent to the application of the then-current User Terms. 2Book reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or replace any of these User Terms, or change, suspend, or discontinue the Service or Application (including without limitation, the availability of any feature, database, or content) at any time by posting a notice on the Website or by sending you notice through the Service, Application or via email. 2Book may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict your access to parts or all of the Service without notice or liability.
The Services
2Book offers information and a means to obtain massage and other holistic health services offered by third party massage and holistic health providers (the "Provider"), which may be requested through the use of an application supplied by 2Book and downloaded and installed by you on your mobile device (smart phone) (the "Application").
Account Creation
In order to be able to use the Application or Service, you first need to sign up with 2Book. When signing up, you are obligated to provide 2Book with your personal information and mobile telephone number. Upon successful completion of your signing up with 2Book, 2Book will provide you with a personal account, accessible for you with a password of your choice.
You have to be 18 years of age or older to use the Service or Application. If you reside in a jurisdiction that restricts the use of the Service or Application because of age, or restricts the ability to enter into contracts such as this one due to age, you must abide by such age limits and you must not use the Service and the Application. You represent that if you are an individual, you are of legal age to enter into a binding contract, or that if you are registering on behalf of a legal entity, that you are authorized to enter into, and bind the entity to, these User Terms and register for the Service and the Application.
Using the Services
The Application and Service allows you to send a request for health services to a Provider. If you have location services activated on your device the Application and Service will detect your location and use that information to find an appropriate Provider. The Provider has sole and complete discretion to accept or reject each request for service. The Provider also has sole and complete discretion over whether to use the Application or Service to receive the leads generated through the Application. If the Provider accepts a request, the Application or Service notifies you and provides information regarding the Provider and the ability to contact the Provider.
2Book only brings you into contact with a Provider in order to obtain services, and the provision of such services is subject to the availability of Providers in or around your location at the moment of your request. 2Book makes no guarantees of availability or that there are any Providers near your location.
For the avoidance of doubt: 2Book itself does not provide massage or other in person services. It is up to the Provider to offer and provide their services, which may be requested through the use of the Application and/or the Service. 2Book only acts as an intermediary between you and the Provider. The provision of the massage services by the Provider to you is therefore subject to the agreement (to be) entered into between you and the Provider. 2Book shall never be a party to such agreement.
Application License
Subject to your compliance with these User Terms, 2Book grants you a limited non-exclusive, non-transferable license to download and install a copy of the Application on a single mobile device that you own or control and to run such copy of the Application solely for your own personal use.

- launch an automated program or script, including, but not limited to, web spiders, web crawlers, web robots, web ants, web indexers, bots, viruses or worms, or any program which may make multiple server requests per second, or unduly burdens or hinders the operation and/or performance of the Service or Application.
You shall not:
- send spam or otherwise duplicative or unsolicited messages in violation of applicable laws;
- send or store infringing, obscene, threatening, libellous, or otherwise unlawful or tortious material, including material harmful to children or violative of third party privacy rights;

2Book will have the right to investigate and prosecute violations of any of the above to the fullest extent of the law. 2Book may involve and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in prosecuting users who violate these User Terms. You acknowledge that 2Book has no obligation to monitor your access to or use of the Services, but has the right to do so for the purpose of operating the Services, to ensure your compliance with these User Terms, or to comply with applicable law or the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency or other governmental body.

By using the Application or the Service, you further agree that:
- You will only use the Service or download the Application for your sole, personal use and will not resell it to a third party;

Payment
The use of the Application and the Service by Users is free of charge. 2Book reserves the right to introduce a fee for the use of the Application and/or the Service at any time. If 2Book decides to introduce such a fee, 2Book shall inform you accordingly and allow you to either continue or terminate the Contract.
The rates that apply for services provided by the Provider can be found on the Website and through the Application. These may be modified or updated by 2Book or the Provider from time to time. It is your own responsibility to remain informed about the current rates for the services.
2Book shall charge you for the services provided to you by the Provider on behalf of the Provider. You agree that you will pay for all services you purchase from the Provider, and that 2Book may charge your credit card account as provided by you when registering for the Service for the services (including any taxes and late fees, as applicable) that may be accrued by or in connection with your account. You are responsible for the timely payment of all fees and for providing 2Book with a valid credit card account for payment of all fees at all times. Any payment made is non-refundable.
2Book uses a third-party payment processor (the "Payment Processor") to link your credit card account to the Application and Service. The processing of payments or credits, as applicable, in connection with your use of the Application and Service will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor and your credit card issuer in addition to these User Terms. 2Book is not responsible for any errors by the Payment Processor. In connection with your use of the Services, 2Book will obtain certain transaction details, which 2Book will use solely in accordance with its Privacy and other policies.
Gift Cards
Gift cards may be purchased at https://www.massagebook.com/massagebook-gift-cards/ with a valid credit card. Gift cards may be purchased in any denomination, with a minimum purchase of $10.00. Gift cards may not be used to purchase gift cards. Once payment has been received and successfully processed, gift card codes are sent directly to the User. As the Purchaser, you will receive a receipt for your purchase but will not receive a copy of the code. Gift cards are not refundable. All sales are final. Gift cards have no cash value and are not redeemable for cash or credit unless required by law.
Gift Cards may only be used to purchase services offered by a Provider booked through the Application or Service up to the available balance on the Gift Card. The available balance of the Gift Card is reduced by the amount of each purchase of services from a Provider, including those required by law. If you want to use the Gift Card to make a purchase that exceeds the available balance on the Gift Card, you must combine the use of the Gift Card with additional payment from another funding source. You agree that we are not responsible if you do not have enough funds on your Gift Card to facilitate a transaction.
In order to use a Gift Card, you must have a MassageBook user account with a registered address in the U.S. Lost, stolen or damaged Gift Cards will only be replaced if the Gift Card has never been used, and only with satisfactory proof of purchase and Gift Card number, where required by law. The Gift Card is not a credit, debit, or charge card. No implied warranties attach to it. The Gift Card is not redeemable outside the U.S. or its Territories.
We reserve the right to correct the Gift Card balance if we believe that a clerical, billing or accounting error has occurred. You also agree that we may deactivate, cancel or suspend any Gift Card and freeze any associated Gift Card funds if we suspect fraud, unlawful activity or improper Gift Card use. You agree that you will not use a revoked Gift Card.
