Application and Registration Process
In order to gain access to the Services, prospective users will be asked to complete a brief application, with accepted users being offered membership and access to the Services (including Experiences) for a fee to be paid via the payment system. All applications will be considered; however, we have complete control and discretion regarding who is granted membership to the Services. Those who are not granted access will be placed on our waitlist, which is continually reviewed for additional applicants to be admitted.
We only select community members who we believe will adhere to our code of conduct and respect the privacy of our users – and who have agreed to do so pursuant to these Terms. The Company retains the unilateral right, at its discretion and without prior notice, to deny the User access to the Website and the App, remove User-uploaded content (partially or entirely), and take other actions. We periodically review our community and remove users who are not acting in accordance with our code of conduct or these Terms or who are otherwise engaging in disrespectful, inappropriate or improper behaviour.
When the User registers on the Website and/or the App, the User must provide information that is accurate and complete. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of the Terms, which may result in immediate termination of your account on our Website and/or the App.
By registering on the Website and/or the App, the User agrees to use the Website and/or the App only for the purposes that are permitted by the Terms and any applicable laws, regulations or generally accepted practices or guidelines in the relevant jurisdictions.
When you apply for the particular Service (by filling out and submitting the application form via the Website and/or the App or any other service (e.g. Meetup)) or use the Service, you automatically agree to both these Terms and our Privacy Policy. You should not submit your application or continue using the Services at any time you disagree with the Terms and Privacy Policy.
Membership Plans
Upon acceptance as a member, applicants will be required to select a payment option (“Membership”). Membership payments start on the date that you sign up for a Membership and automatically renew according to the selected period (“Membership Interval”), and we will automatically bill the Membership fee to your Payment Method (defined below) each period, until your subscription is canceled via the written request sent to support@lesamis.cc or terminated. Each billing cycle is one month or three months (“quarter”) in length (a "Membership Interval"). For example, if you purchase your monthly Les Amis subscription on Mar 3, your subscription will automatically renew and be billed on Apr 3.
Users have the option to pause their Membership for a fee of 6 euros per month. While the Membership is paused, Users cannot access their account or use any associated features of the Website and/or the App. However, once the Membership is unpaused, all data and Credits previously associated with the User’s account will be reinstated.
You must provide us with a current, valid, accepted method of payment ("Payment Method"). If Les Amis is not able to charge the membership payment from your Payment Method (bank account, debit or credit card provided by the User) or invoices are unpaid by the User, Les Amis has the right to terminate the membership and stop the provision of access and Services without prior notice to the User immediately.
In addition to membership fees, users can purchase additional Services, such as but not limited to Additional Credits (defined below), Experiences or trips. Any such purchases will also be paid via the payment platform and are subject to the Terms. We reserve the right to raise or lower the price of our membership fees, Services and other charges, and to create additional tiers or types of membership and Services at any time. We do not offer refunds for any reason other than as set forth in the Terms. Unused Experiences and Credits included in monthly membership or purchases will not be refunded upon the expiration or termination of a user’s membership.
Use of Credits
“Credits” refer to virtual units that Users can purchase or receive as part of their subscription plan. Each month, the User will receive Credits on their Les Amis User account (“Credit Renewal Date”), which can be utilized to book Experiences offered through the Website and/or the App. Users have the flexibility to allocate their Credits across the range of available Experiences as per their preference.
Each Experience offered on the Website and/or the App may have a different Credit cost, determined by various factors such as duration, complexity, and demand. Availability of a particular Experience is not guaranteed and is subject to change based on popularity, scheduling constraints, and other factors. The Company does not guarantee the availability of any specific Experience at any given time. Users acknowledge that certain Experiences may be subject to limited availability or may require booking well in advance due to high demand. The Company reserves the right to modify the Credit cost of Experiences and their availability at any time, with or without prior notice to users.
Credits expire at the end of each Credit Cycle (defined below) on the Credit Renewal Date. Credit Cycle starts on the same date as the Subscription Cycle, and is one month in length. For example, if you purchase your Les Amis subscription on March 3, and your Membership Interval is 3 months, your Payment Method will be billed on June 3, but your next Credit Cycle will start on April 3.
Unused credits from the current Credit Cycle roll over to future months according to the rollover policies that can be found here. Your account settings display the Credit Renewal Date which is when the next Credit Cycle will begin. Upon cancellation or termination of your membership, any remaining credits will immediately expire, with no refunds or compensation provided for unused Credits or Experiences. Upon automatic renewal of your subscription for the next month, you will receive your new credit allocation. The number of credits required to book an Experience varies based on factors such as Host’s requirements, time of day, equipment usage, location, pricing, popularity, and Host’s discretion. For illustration purposes, in the event that the User does not book any Experiences or spend Credits in any other way during a particular month, and the rollover policy of 3 months, the unused credits will carry over to the following month. Credits will continue to accumulate and carry over for up to three consecutive months. After this period, any remaining credits exceeding the three-month threshold will be forfeited. The maximum credit balance that can be carried over to the next month is two months' worth of credits. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that they utilize their event credits within the specified time frame to avoid forfeiture of accumulated credits.
Credits hold no cash value outside the Website and/or the App and are non-redeemable for cash or any other consideration. They do not function as stored value facilities. Transfer, trade, gifting, or exchange of the credits is prohibited.
The Company reserves the right to adjust credit allocation, including per cycle, plan, or geographic location, as well as the number of reservations and cancellations permitted, with prior notification to users. Users may contact customer support for any inquiries or clarification regarding their credits and the accumulation policy.
Users have the option to purchase credits ("Additional Credits") separately from the membership fee in order to purchase access to Experiences or other Services. These credits are distinct from those granted to Users who have paid the membership fee. Such credits can be purchased and used outside of the Membership agreement to book Experiences without having an ongoing Membership (“Non-member Experiences”). It is important to note that purchasing Additional Credits or booking Non-member Experiences constitute a separate transaction, independent of any membership benefits or privileges.
By purchasing credits to be used for Non-member Experiences, users acknowledge that these credits are exclusively intended for Experience participation and do not grant access to membership-related benefits.

The Website and the App are intended for your personal use exclusively, and they may not be employed for any business-related activities under any circumstances. This includes an explicit prohibition on the resale of the Services for commercial purposes. Therefore, any utilization of the Website and/or the App that extends beyond your personal, private use or serves commercial or business objectives, whether on behalf of individuals associated with you or third parties, is strictly forbidden. Users may not use any information obtained from the Website and/or the App to contact, advertise to, solicit, or sell to any other User without his or her prior explicit consent. Legal entities and/or businesses may not use the Website and/or the App for any purpose except with Les Amis express consent, which consent may be withheld at our sole discretion.
Experiences, Meetings, User Interaction
After we receive a membership fee from you or after the purchase of credits to participate in Non-member Experiences, you will be permitted to choose and attend an Experience according to your membership tier or the list of available Non-member Experiences. When you have made a book an Experience, Les Amis team will review all applications for the applicable Experience and will select which of the Users will be entitled to participate in the Experience. Les Amis shall have full discretion over the selection of Users including the overall number of accepted Users. We do not guarantee that you will be selected for any given Experience.
We, or an organiser of the Experience ("Host"), may require additional verifications or other information from you prior to selecting you to participate in the Experience. If any information you provide is incomplete or inaccurate, you may not be able to participate in the Experience. Search for the appropriate Experience is carried out by the User. The Company doesn't make any promises or representations regarding the Experience. Making the right choice(s) is entirely the User’s responsibility. When concluding the contract for the purchase of the access to the Experience, we may act as the commercial agent of the Host. It is imperative to understand that when procuring access to the Experience, you are not directly purchasing them from the Company but from the Host. These external Hosts serve as the actual providers of access to the Experience you acquire.
When attending an Experience, you must act with respect towards other Users. In particular, you must not do anything that is not permitted under applicable local, national or international law or regulation; act in any way that is unlawful or fraudulent or has any unlawful or fraudulent purpose or effect; harm or attempt to harm any User, or any other adult, child, or animal, in any way; or bully, insult, intimidate or humiliate any User or other person.
We reserve the right to limit, change or cancel any Experience where we have a reason for doing so, at our sole and absolute discretion, even after you have booked an access to the Experience or attempted to redeem your Experience. If this happens, we will do our best to notify you in advance via our official channels (Instagram or email) if it is possible for us to do so. If we cannot notify you in advance, we will provide a written explanation for the limitation, modification, or cancellation within a reasonable time thereafter.
In our role as an intermediary, we exert diligent efforts to ensure the accuracy of information and the transparency of pricing, which includes specifying costs on a per-ticket and per-person basis. This encompasses applicable taxes. However, it is essential to note that certain Hosts may levy local taxes, which, regretfully, we cannot administer on their behalf.
Please be aware that cancellations of access to the Experience are only possible when explicitly mentioned in the Experience description. Regrettably, certain Hosts do not permit changes or cancellations after your purchase, and in such cases, we are unable to intervene.
In the event that Experience is cancelled by the Host, Les Amis assumes no additional responsibilities beyond facilitating the refund process. Users will receive a full refund for any bookings made for the cancelled Experience. Les Amis will promptly initiate the refund process and reimburse users with Credits or through the original Payment Method used for the purchase of the access to the Experience.
It's important to note that we cannot guarantee refunds from the Hosts in cases where you are dissatisfied with your purchase, or if you've made a booking for the wrong Experience. European consumer laws grant specific rights, including a legal reflection and withdrawal period for certain online purchases. However, these rights do not extend to leisure services scheduled for a particular date or period, and this exception may apply to certain Experiences. While our Terms largely cover those of the Hosts, it is important to acknowledge that additional terms and conditions may also apply. By accepting our Terms, you also agree to these supplementary terms and conditions including whether applicable terms and conditions of the Hosts.
Occasionally, certain Hosts and/or venues may have specific requirements such as arrival times, dress codes, insurance coverage, or valid identification. These requirements are generally logical and can be easily understood. We make a point to highlight the most significant ones on the Website and/or the App, in the emails you receive.
In certain situations the User has the option to direct the Company to act as their agent, at the User's expense, for the acquisition of access to the Experience. The Company does not procure access to the Experience in advance and exclusively takes action to fulfil the User's booking once the User's funds for this purpose have been received. The expenses associated with the Company's execution of this booking, encompassing access to the Experience costs, will be itemized within the User's order on the Website and/or the App unless alternative arrangements have been agreed upon.

The Users also irrevocably authorize Les Amis to use all the Contents and every part or element thereof, without any restriction, worldwide, in perpetuity and in any case for the entire duration of the legal protection as sanctioned in every country in the world.
