The Gastronomy Expert User, when registering and offering gastronomic experiences, accepts that Travelandz, S.L. will apply one of the following modalities: 1. Freemium model: Experiences can be offered at zero cost but Intelligent Networks will take 10% of the amounts plus VAT that the registered Expert is entitled to invoice the User for the gastronomic and cultural offers. This percentage remunerates the holder of the Platform for the services provided to the Gastronomic Expert User as a marketing tool for his experiences, as well as for the coordination of the offers accepted and the Users of the same. Premium Model: the Gastronomic and Cultural Expert will be able to offer experiences at no cost, invoicing 4% for each experience sold. The Premium model includes the publication of an article in the Travelandz Blog about the expert's services with photos and a link to his experience for promotion, as well as the publication of a podcast about his company/services. The Premium model obliges the Gastronomic and Cultural expert to a subscription of 200 ? per month, without any permanence. 3. Exclusive model: free promotion of experiences, 0% commission for the sale of experiences, publication of articles in the Blog with a link to the experiences, publication of podcasts and videos. The monthly subscription is 300 ? and has no permanence. Travelandz, S.L. will be in charge of charging, through the Platform, with a minimum advance of forty-eight hours the amounts that correspond to the provision of the service. In the event that the User does not access the Experience, he will notify the Gastronomy Expert User so that he can consider the reservation cancelled and not provide the service of the Experience contracted. Once the User has paid for the Experience, Travelandz will transfer the net amount due within 24 hours of providing the service of the contracted Experience, after deducting the aforementioned percentage and its VAT. The Expert User must issue the corresponding invoice to the User of the Experience for the total price plus VAT. Travelandz will issue an invoice to the Gastronomic Expert User for the agreed percentage plus VAT, which will be considered as charged with the previous deduction of the price entered by the User of the Experience for payment to the Gastronomic Expert User. This percentage will be applicable, unless the parties expressly modify it, for a maximum period of one year, so that after this period Travelandz can negotiate a different amount for each of the following annuities.
