Terms of Service

Effective Date: March 1, 2026

These Terms govern your use of Waybound. Please read them carefully. By using our platform, you agree to these Terms.

The short version

Waybound is a travel discovery platform. We show you options from partner sites and earn a commission when you book — we don't process payments or manage bookings ourselves. Use the platform fairly, and we'll keep it great for everyone.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Waybound ("we," "us," "our") at waybound.net, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the platform. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service.

2. Service Description

Waybound is a travel discovery and comparison platform that aggregates listings for vacation homes, flights, car rentals, and experiences from third-party providers. We help you find, compare, and access travel options — but we are not a direct booking agent, travel agency, or supplier.

Important: Waybound operates as an affiliate platform. When you click a booking link, you are directed to a third-party partner's website where your booking is completed. Waybound does not process payments, issue confirmations, or manage reservations. All bookings are subject to the terms of the respective booking partner.

We may earn an affiliate commission when you complete a booking through our links. This does not affect the price you pay.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use Waybound. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

4. Affiliate Relationship Disclaimer

Waybound partners with the following affiliate networks and booking platforms:

  • Travelpayouts — flights, hotels, and travel products
  • Expedia Group — hotels, vacation rentals, and flight bookings
  • Viator (Tripadvisor) — tours, activities, and experiences
  • Yelp — local business discovery and reviews

When you make a booking through one of our partner links, you enter into a direct agreement with that partner. Waybound is not a party to that agreement and is not responsible for the partner's services, pricing, cancellation policies, or any disputes arising from your booking.

Pricing, availability, and terms displayed on Waybound are provided by third-party partners and are subject to change. Always verify current pricing and terms directly with the booking partner before completing a purchase.

5. User Conduct

When using Waybound, you agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable laws
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Service or its related systems
  • Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data from the platform without written permission
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service
  • Impersonate any person or entity, or falsely represent your affiliation with any person or entity
  • Use the Service to transmit spam, malware, or other harmful content
  • Circumvent affiliate tracking or intentionally manipulate referral systems
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer any component of the Service

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for users who violate these conduct guidelines.

6. Intellectual Property

The Waybound name, logo, website design, and all original content on the platform are the intellectual property of Waybound and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Travel listings, property descriptions, prices, and images displayed on Waybound are sourced from third-party partners and are their respective intellectual property. We display this content under license or affiliate agreement.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works of any Waybound content without our prior written consent.

8. Disclaimers

The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied. Waybound expressly disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to:

  • Accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of travel listings, prices, or availability
  • Fitness for a particular purpose or merchantability
  • Uninterrupted or error-free operation of the platform
  • The quality or suitability of any accommodation, flight, vehicle, or experience listed

Waybound does not guarantee that any booking made through a partner link will result in a confirmed reservation. All bookings are subject to the partner's terms and availability.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Waybound and its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, and partners shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to:

  • Loss of bookings, revenue, or data
  • Travel disruptions, cancellations, or changes made by third-party providers
  • Inaccurate or outdated pricing or availability information
  • Any harm resulting from your use of a third-party booking platform
  • Unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data

In no event shall Waybound's total liability to you for all claims exceed the amount you paid to Waybound (if any) in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. If you have not paid Waybound any amounts, our total liability to you shall not exceed $100 USD.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Waybound and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another.

11. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, us, third parties, or the integrity of the Service. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease.

12. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

You agree that any dispute resolution will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted.

13. Changes to Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date and may notify you by email or through a notice on the site. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service.
