7. Billing and Payment. Clients may contract for services directly with Locals through the Platform. Company will not be a party to any contracts for Outings or services. Company is not obligated to pay Local for Client’s failure to pay for the Outings or services.

Each User agrees to comply with the Outing Agreement and this Agreement during the engagement, performance and completion of an Outing.
