1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accessing or using the Airspaces platform (“Platform”), listing a space, making a booking, submitting payment, or otherwise engaging with any service offered by Airspaces (Pty) Ltd (“Airspaces”, “we”, “us”, “our”), you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions.

These Terms incorporate by reference the following policies, which form an integral part of this agreement:

  • Community & Conduct Policy

  • Hosting Responsibly Standards

  • Privacy Policy (POPIA Compliant)

2. Definitions

  • “Platform” means the Airspaces digital marketplace

  • “Host” means a party listing a space

  • “Guest” means a party booking a space

  • “Booking” means a confirmed reservation with date, time, and price

  • “Service” means marketplace facilitation, not space provision


3. Role of Airspaces (Marketplace & Payment Processor Alignment)

Airspaces operates strictly as a digital marketplace and payment facilitator.

Airspaces:

  • Does not own, operate, manage, or control listed spaces

  • Does not provide accommodation, venue services, or physical access

  • Does not guarantee performance of Hosts

The contractual relationship for space usage exists solely between Host and Guest.

For payment processor purposes, Airspaces provides a digital marketplace facilitation service, which is deemed delivered in full upon booking confirmation.


4. User Eligibility and Account Responsibility

  • Users must be 18 years or older

  • Users must provide accurate, truthful, and verifiable information

  • All actions taken under an account are deemed authorised

Airspaces may suspend or terminate accounts for misuse, risk, or non-compliance.

5.1 Guest Payments

  • All payments are authorised by the Guest at checkout

  • Payments are processed via PayFast, Yoco, PayJustNow, Payflex, Float, Ozow, or successor providers

  • Payment confirmation constitutes express authorisation

5.2 Host Payouts

  • Host payouts occur after booking completion

  • Airspaces may withhold payouts for disputes, fraud checks, or processor requirements


6. Cancellation & Refund Policy (Processor-Aligned)

All refunds are governed exclusively by the Cancellation & Refund Policy.

Guests acknowledge that:

  • Refund rules are fixed, automated, and disclosed prior to payment

  • Refund eligibility depends on timing and policy type

  • Platform, transaction, and payment processing fees may be non-refundable

Refund determinations constitute final settlement for chargeback purposes.


7. Chargebacks, Disputes, and Payment Reversals

7.1 Chargeback Prohibition Without Platform Escalation

Guests agree not to initiate chargebacks, reversals, or payment disputes through their bank or payment provider without first submitting a dispute via the Airspaces Platform.

Guests expressly acknowledge that the following constitute valid proof of authorisation and service delivery:

  • Account registration and login records

  • Booking confirmation screens and emails

  • Acceptance of these Terms and Policies

  • Timestamped payment authorisation

  • Platform logs and IP address records

This evidence may be submitted to payment processors in chargeback proceedings.


7.3 Non-Delivery and Service Classification

Guests acknowledge and agree that:

  • Airspaces provides a digital facilitation service, not physical access

  • The facilitation service is delivered at booking confirmation

  • Space access is provided by the Host, not Airspaces

Accordingly, disputes classified as “non-delivery” are invalid against Airspaces.

Unauthorised or abusive chargebacks may result in:

  • Immediate account suspension

  • Withholding of future refunds or credits

  • Recovery actions and legal enforcement

8. Host Responsibilities

11. Force Majeure & Infrastructure Conditions

Force majeure includes:

  • Civil unrest or natural disasters

Such events do not automatically entitle Guests to refunds or chargebacks.

Bookings constitute fixed-date or fixed-period services under Section 17 of the CPA.

Cancellation charges and refund percentages are pre-agreed and reasonable.

Airspaces is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
