This section describes (a) what information you must provide, (b) how we verify your identity, (c) your duties to keep your Account secure, and (d) restrictions on transferring or assigning your Account.

4.1 Account Types

  • Not share your credentials with anyone or allow multiple individuals to use your Account
  • Log out after each session on shared or public devices

Your Account is personal to you and may not be transferred, sold, or assigned to any third party—whether by operation of law, merger, sale of assets, or otherwise—without CEBS's prior written consent. Any attempted transfer in violation of this provision is void and may lead to immediate suspension or termination of your Account.

By registering and maintaining an Account, you agree to comply with all requirements set forth in this Section 4. Continuous failure to meet these obligations authorizes CEBS to suspend or terminate your Account and refuse future access to the Platform.

6. Booking and Payment

This section describes, in detail, how Users request and confirm services ("Bookings"), how pricing is set and payments are processed, the fees CEBS charges for facilitating transactions, and the tax responsibilities of both Users and Suppliers. Each step and requirement is explained to ensure clarity and prevent misunderstandings.

6.1 Booking Process

6.1.1 Search and Selection

  • Users browse the Platform by category (e.g., massage, nail spa, haircut) or location.
  • Filters (price range, availability window, supplier rating) help narrow down options.
  • Users may view Supplier profiles—complete with service descriptions, photos, reviews, and credentials—before making a selection.

6.1.2 Service Details and Add-Ons

After choosing a Supplier, Users select:

  • The core service (e.g., 60-minute Swedish massage).
  • Preferred date and start time, subject to Supplier availability.
  • Optional add-ons (e.g., aromatherapy, hot stones, extended duration).

Each option displays any incremental cost and its impact on the total price.

6.1.3 Review of Booking Summary

Before payment, Users see a detailed summary showing:

  • Supplier name and profile photo.
  • Service description, duration, date, time, and location.
  • Breakdown of charges: base service fee, add-on costs, travel surcharge (if any), taxes, and CEBS Service Fee (Section 6.3).
  • Applicable cancellation or rescheduling policy for that Supplier.

6.1.4 Payment Authorization

  • Users enter or select a saved payment method.
  • By confirming, Users authorize CEBS to capture the full amount displayed.
  • Until payment authorization succeeds, the Booking remains pending; no Supplier commitment is made.

6.1.5 Confirmation Notification

Once payment is processed, Users receive a Booking confirmation via:

  • In-app notification.
  • Email to the address on file.
  • SMS (if enabled).

The confirmation constitutes a binding contract between User and Supplier, subject to these Terms.

6.2 Pricing and Payment

6.2.1 Supplier-Determined Pricing

  • Each Supplier independently sets and updates their service prices, which appear in real time on the Platform.
  • Pricing may factor in travel distance, special equipment, or premium materials.

6.2.2 Payment Processing

  • CEBS uses PCI-compliant, third-party payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) to handle all transactions.
  • Users' payment details are never stored on CEBS's servers; the processor manages secure storage and tokenization.
  • Transaction fees charged by the processor (e.g., interchange fees) may be passed through to Users or Suppliers, as disclosed at checkout.

6.2.3 Authorized Amounts and Holds

  • Depending on the Supplier's policy and local regulations, CEBS may place an authorization hold (pre-authorization) on the User's card before final confirmation.
  • Holds are released within the timeframe specified by the card issuer if the Booking is not confirmed or is canceled in accordance with Section 7.

6.2.4 Payment Failures

  • If payment authorization fails (expired card, insufficient funds, etc.), the Booking does not proceed.
  • Users are prompted to provide an alternative payment method or contact support.
  • Repeated failures may lead to temporary suspension of payment privileges.

6.3 Service Fees

6.3.1 Fee Structure

CEBS charges a Service Fee for each confirmed Booking. This Fee may be:

  • A percentage of the total Booking amount (e.g., 15%).
  • A fixed fee per Booking (e.g., ₱50 per transaction).
  • A combination of both (e.g., ₱30 + 10% of service cost).

6.3.2 Fee Transparency

  • The exact Service Fee is displayed in the Booking summary before payment.
  • Users and Suppliers can view historical Service Fees in their Account dashboard.

6.3.3 Non-Refundable Nature

  • Service Fees are non-refundable, except where CEBS cancels the Booking (see Section 7.2) or as otherwise provided by these Terms.
  • In the event of a partial refund to the User, the Service Fee remains with CEBS; only Supplier earnings and applicable taxes are returned.

6.3.4 Chargebacks and Disputes

  • Suppliers and Users must resolve payment disputes via the in-app resolution center (Section 9).
  • Any chargeback or reversal of payment initiated by the User's bank does not obligate CEBS to refund the Service Fee.

6.4 Taxes and Duties

6.4.1 User Tax Responsibilities

  • Users are responsible for paying any consumption taxes, value-added taxes (VAT), or similar duties imposed on service usage in their jurisdiction.
  • If tax is applicable, it is calculated and displayed in the Booking summary.

6.4.2 Supplier Tax Obligations

Suppliers must:

  • Register for and remit all relevant taxes (e.g., VAT, withholding tax, business tax).
  • Issue tax invoices or receipts in compliance with local laws.
  • Maintain records of transactions for audit and reporting purposes.

6.4.3 CEBS's Role in Tax Collection

  • Where required by law, CEBS may collect and remit taxes on behalf of Suppliers.
  • CEBS will notify Suppliers in advance if tax collection obligations change.

Continuous updates and enhancements may refine these processes—please review these Terms regularly.

7. Cancellation, Rescheduling, and Refunds

7.1 User Cancellation

7.1.1 Cancellation Windows and Fees

Each Supplier publishes a specific cancellation policy on their service page. At a minimum, all Suppliers must offer:

  • Full refund of the service charge if canceled at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time.
  • Fifty percent (50%) refund if canceled between 24 hours and 6 hours before the scheduled start time.
  • No refund if canceled within 6 hours of the scheduled start time.

If a Supplier's policy differs, the Platform clearly displays that policy in the booking summary.

7.1.2 Cancellation Process

To cancel a Booking, you must:

  1. Navigate to My Bookings in the app or website.
  2. Select the relevant Booking and tap Cancel.
  3. Confirm cancellation and review any applicable penalty or refund amount.

Upon confirmation, you will receive an in-app notification and email summarizing the cancellation and refund status.

7.1.3 Rescheduling

Rescheduling a Booking is treated as a cancellation of the original appointment and a new Booking. If you reschedule:

  • Do so within the cancellation window to avoid penalties.
  • Select a new date, time, or Supplier, then follow the booking process anew.

Any difference in price between the original and new Booking will be charged or refunded accordingly.

7.1.4 Forfeiture of Fees

Service Fees charged by CEBS are non-refundable under all circumstances. Any penalty assessed under a Supplier's cancellation policy applies solely to the Supplier's portion of the charges.

7.2 Supplier Cancellation

7.2.1 Permissible Grounds for Cancellation

Suppliers may cancel a confirmed Booking only for valid reasons such as:

  • Personal emergency or sudden illness.
  • Unforeseen travel or equipment issues.
  • Force majeure events (see Section 7.4).

Suppliers must not cancel for arbitrary or discriminatory reasons.

7.2.2 Notification Requirements

Suppliers must notify both the User and CEBS through the Platform as soon as they know they must cancel, and no later than 12 hours before the scheduled start time—except in genuine emergencies.

7.2.3 User Remedies

When a Supplier cancels, Users have the choice to:

  • Receive a full refund of all amounts paid, including taxes and travel surcharges.
  • Rebook the same service with another Supplier at the original price.
  • Accept a credit or voucher for future use, valid for six (6) months.

7.2.4 Consequences for Frequent Supplier Cancellations

Suppliers who cancel more than three (3) confirmed Bookings in any 30-day period without valid cause may face temporary suspension or permanent removal from the Platform.

7.3 Refund Policy

7.3.1 Refund Methods and Timing

All approved refunds are issued to the original payment method. Depending on your bank or payment provider, refunds typically appear within 5–10 business days of approval.

7.3.2 Partial Refund Calculations

When only part of a Booking is eligible for refund (e.g., add-on services canceled within the window), CEBS will refund the prorated amount of the service fee and supplier charge, minus the non-refundable CEBS Service Fee.

7.3.3 Dispute Resolution

If you believe an incorrect refund or penalty has been applied, you may:

  1. Open a case via Help & SupportDispute a Charge.
  2. Provide booking details, screenshots, and a description of the issue.
  3. Work with CEBS and the Supplier to resolve the dispute within 14 days.

If unresolved, you may pursue arbitration under Section 16.

7.4 Force Majeure

7.4.1 Definition

"Force Majeure" means unforeseeable circumstances beyond a party's reasonable control, including but not limited to:

  • Acts of God (earthquakes, floods, hurricanes).
  • War, terrorism, riots, or civil commotion.
  • Governmental orders, public health emergencies, or labor strikes.

7.4.2 Suspension of Obligations

If a Force Majeure event prevents performance of any obligation under a confirmed Booking, the affected party must promptly notify the other party and CEBS. All service obligations are suspended for the duration of the event.

7.4.3 Notice and Documentation

The party invoking Force Majeure must:

  • Provide written notice within 48 hours of the event's start.
  • Furnish reasonable evidence (e.g., official reports, news articles).

7.4.4 Mitigation Duty

Both Users and Suppliers agree to use reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact of the Force Majeure event. If mitigation permits partial performance (e.g., remote consultations), the parties may renegotiate service terms in good faith.

The clear definition of cancellation windows, refund mechanics, and force majeure protocols, Spafinderpro.com ensures fair treatment for both Users and Suppliers while maintaining operational transparency. Continuous review and improvement of these policies safeguard everyone's interests and minimize disputes.
