1. Introduction & Who These Terms Apply To

goback.in is operated by The Golthi Company ("GoBack", "we", "us", "our"), a company registered in Hyderabad, Telangana, India.


These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the goback.in platform — including the website, API, WhatsApp notifications, organizer dashboard, and tribe pages. By accessing or using goback.in in any capacity, you agree to be bound by these Terms.


There are three types of users on goback.in:


- GoBack (the platform): We operate the marketplace. We do not organise experiences ourselves. We provide the tools, infrastructure, and discovery layer that connects Travellers with Organizers.

- Organizers: Independent individuals or businesses who list outdoor experiences on goback.in. By creating an account and publishing a listing, Organizers agree to the additional obligations set out in Sections 5–8.

- Travellers: People who browse, discover, and express interest in experiences on goback.in. By submitting interest in an experience, Travellers agree to the obligations in Sections 9–11.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the platform.

GoBack

2. GoBack's Role as a Marketplace

GoBack is a two-sided marketplace. We provide the technology and platform infrastructure — we are not a travel agent, tour operator, or party to the contract between a Traveller and an Organizer.


What GoBack does:

- Provides Organizers with tools to list experiences, manage interest, and track availability
- Helps Travellers discover relevant experiences through search, filters, and curated listings
- Facilitates the initial connection between Travellers and Organizers via interest submissions and WhatsApp notifications
- Verifies Organizer identity and activates accounts before listings go live
- Maintains the platform's integrity through content moderation and trust & safety policies

What GoBack does not do:

- GoBack does not organise, run, or take responsibility for the experiences themselves
- GoBack does not guarantee availability, quality, safety, or accuracy of any experience listing
- GoBack does not process payments between Travellers and Organizers — any payment is a direct arrangement between those two parties
- GoBack does not act as an agent, employer, or partner of any Organizer

The contract for an experience (including payment, cancellation, and liability) is between the Traveller and the Organizer. GoBack is not a party to that contract.

OrganizersTravellers

3. Account Eligibility & Registration

To use certain features of goback.in, you must:


- Be at least 18 years of age
- Provide accurate and complete information during registration or interest submission
- Not impersonate any person or misrepresent your identity or affiliation

Organizer accounts: Organizers must complete the signup form with a valid email address and WhatsApp number, and activate their account via the confirmation link sent by email. Accounts are issued on a per-organizer basis and are non-transferable.


Traveller interactions: Travellers do not need to create an account to submit interest. However, by submitting interest you provide your name, email, and phone number which are stored and shared with the relevant Organizer.


You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure. GoBack is not liable for any loss arising from unauthorised access to your account caused by your failure to keep credentials safe.

4. Acceptable Use

All users of goback.in agree not to:


- Use the platform for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable Indian law
- Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information — including fake interest submissions or fabricated experience details
- Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data from the platform without written permission from GoBack
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, hack, or disrupt any part of the platform
- Post content that is defamatory, discriminatory, obscene, or that infringes third-party intellectual property rights
- Use contact details obtained via goback.in to spam or harass other users
- List experiences that are illegal, unsafe, or that require permits or licences the Organizer does not hold
- Circumvent the platform by directing Travellers to book exclusively off-platform once an initial connection has been made

GoBack reserves the right to remove content, suspend accounts, or terminate access for any violation of these rules.

Organizers

5. Organizer Obligations

By listing an experience on goback.in, you represent and warrant that:


Accuracy of listings:

- All information in your listing — title, description, location, dates, group sizes, pricing, highlights, and photos — is accurate, complete, and not misleading
- You will keep your listing updated; outdated dates, prices, or availability that mislead Travellers is a violation of these Terms

Legality and safety:

- You hold all permits, licences, and insurance required to legally operate the experience in India
- You are responsible for the safety of Travellers during the experience, including having appropriate emergency protocols, equipment, and trained staff
- Experiences involving adventure activities (trekking, rafting, rock climbing, etc.) must comply with applicable state and national safety regulations

Traveller contact:

- When a Traveller submits interest, GoBack shares their contact details with you solely to confirm availability and coordinate the experience
- You agree to respond to interested Travellers within 48 hours
- You will not use Traveller contact details for purposes other than coordinating the experience they expressed interest in, including spam or unsolicited marketing

Payments and cancellations:

- Any payment collected from Travellers is your direct responsibility — GoBack does not handle these funds
- You must clearly communicate your cancellation, refund, and rescheduling policy to Travellers before they commit to payment
- Repeated failure to follow through on confirmed spots may result in your account being suspended

Content ownership:

- By uploading photos or other content to goback.in, you grant GoBack a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display, resize, and promote that content on the platform and in marketing materials
Organizers

6. Organizer Tribe Pages

When you register as an Organizer, GoBack automatically creates a public tribe page at goback.in/tribe/[your-slug]. This page is:


- Publicly accessible — anyone with the link can view your tribe page, experience listings, and contact details
- Shareable — you are encouraged to share your tribe link in WhatsApp groups, social media, and communities
- Branded under your tribe name — the page displays your tribe name and is designed for your personal brand, not GoBack's

By sharing and using your tribe page, you accept that:

- The content displayed is drawn directly from your dashboard listings
- GoBack may display a "Powered by GoBack.in" attribution on the page
- GoBack reserves the right to remove tribe pages that violate these Terms or contain harmful content

The "Verified Organizer" badge indicates that GoBack has confirmed your email, phone, and identity at registration. It does not constitute an endorsement of the quality or safety of your experiences.

Organizers

7. Organizer Liability & Indemnification

As an Organizer, you accept full responsibility for:


- The safety, quality, and delivery of your experiences
- Any injury, death, loss, or damage suffered by Travellers or third parties during your experience
- Any disputes, refund claims, or legal proceedings brought by Travellers arising from your experience
- Compliance with all applicable laws, including the Consumer Protection Act 2019, environmental regulations, and state-specific tourism licensing requirements

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless GoBack, its directors, employees, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, fines, or legal costs arising from:

- Your experience listings or the experiences themselves
- Your breach of these Terms
- Any act or omission by you, your staff, or contractors during the operation of an experience

GoBack is not liable for any injury, loss, or damage suffered by any person in connection with an experience listed on the platform.

Organizers

8. Platform Fees & Listing

Current model: Listing on goback.in is currently free. GoBack does not charge Organizers a commission or listing fee at this time.


GoBack reserves the right to introduce a fee model in the future. If we do, we will:

- Notify all active Organizers by email at least 30 days in advance
- Not retroactively charge for experiences already listed or confirmed

Organizers are solely responsible for collecting payment from Travellers and for all taxes applicable to their income, including GST if applicable.

Travellers

9. Traveller Obligations

By submitting interest in an experience on goback.in, you agree that:


Accuracy: The name, email, and phone number you provide are accurate and belong to you. You will not submit interest on behalf of others without their knowledge.


Intent: Submitting interest is a genuine expression of intent to attend the experience, subject to the Organizer's confirmation. Repeatedly submitting and abandoning interest without reason disrupts Organizers and may result in your contact details being flagged.


Contact: You consent to being contacted by the Organizer via WhatsApp or phone to confirm your spot and discuss experience details.


Participation: You are responsible for assessing whether an experience is suitable for your physical fitness, medical condition, and skill level. GoBack does not make these assessments on your behalf.


Payment: Any payment made to an Organizer is a direct transaction between you and them. GoBack is not responsible for refunds, disputes, or non-delivery of experiences.

Travellers

10. Traveller Assumption of Risk

Outdoor and adventure experiences carry inherent risks including — but not limited to — physical injury, illness, adverse weather, equipment failure, and remote location hazards.


By participating in any experience discovered through goback.in, you acknowledge and accept:


- You participate voluntarily and at your own risk
- GoBack has no operational role in the experience and cannot guarantee your safety
- The Organizer is the sole responsible party for the experience
- You have a duty to disclose relevant medical conditions to the Organizer before the experience
- You are responsible for obtaining appropriate travel insurance, including coverage for adventure activities

This does not limit any statutory rights you may have under the Consumer Protection Act 2019 in relation to the Organizer.

Travellers

11. Cancellations & Refunds

Goback.in does not currently process payments. As such:


- Cancellation and refund policies are set and enforced by individual Organizers
- GoBack strongly recommends you confirm the Organizer's cancellation policy before making any payment
- In the event of a dispute with an Organizer regarding refunds, GoBack may assist in mediation but is not obligated to do so and cannot compel refunds from Organizers

If you believe an Organizer has acted fraudulently or in bad faith, contact us at connect@goback.in. We will review the case and may suspend the Organizer's account.

12. Content & Intellectual Property

GoBack's intellectual property: The goback.in brand, logo, design, code, and all platform content created by GoBack is owned by The Golthi Company. You may not reproduce, copy, or commercially use any part of it without written permission.


User-generated content: Content uploaded by Organizers (experience photos, descriptions, listings) remains the Organizer's intellectual property. By uploading it, you grant GoBack a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, display, and promote it in connection with operating and marketing the platform.


Prohibited content: Users may not upload content that:

- Infringes third-party copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights
- Contains nudity, violence, or material that is illegal under Indian law
- Is defamatory or harasses any individual or group

GoBack may remove any content that violates these Terms without notice.

13. GoBack's Liability

Platform provided "as is": GoBack provides the platform on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from security vulnerabilities.


No liability for experiences: GoBack is not liable for any loss, injury, death, damage, or disappointment arising from any experience listed on the platform. Our liability is limited to the operation of the platform itself.


Limitation of liability: To the maximum extent permitted by Indian law, GoBack's total liability to any user for any claim arising from use of the platform is limited to ₹5,000 (five thousand rupees), or the amount directly paid to GoBack by that user in connection with the relevant transaction, whichever is lower.


This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be excluded by law, including fraud or personal injury caused by GoBack's negligence.


No endorsement: The presence of a listing on goback.in does not constitute GoBack's endorsement or recommendation of any Organizer or experience.

GoBackOrganizersTravellers

14. Suspension & Termination

GoBack may suspend or terminate your access to the platform at any time, with or without notice, if:


- You breach any provision of these Terms
- Your listings, content, or conduct are harmful to other users or the platform's reputation
- You are found to have provided false information during registration
- An Organizer repeatedly fails to honour confirmed interest without legitimate reason

Organizers: Upon termination, your tribe page and all listings will be unpublished. You remain responsible for any confirmed Traveller bookings that existed at the time of termination.


Travellers: Upon termination, your submitted interest records may be retained for the period described in the Privacy Policy.


You may terminate your use at any time by emailing connect@goback.in. Organizers may request full account deletion; data will be handled per the Privacy Policy.

15. Disputes Between Users

GoBack is a marketplace. Disputes between Travellers and Organizers (including refunds, safety complaints, or misrepresentation) are primarily the responsibility of those two parties to resolve.


GoBack's role in disputes:

- We will review complaints submitted to connect@goback.in and may investigate
- Where an Organizer is found to have acted fraudulently or in serious breach of these Terms, GoBack may suspend their account and remove their listings
- GoBack does not act as an arbitrator and cannot compel payment or refunds

Escalation: If a dispute cannot be resolved between you and the other party, you may seek resolution through:

- Consumer forums under the Consumer Protection Act 2019
- Lok Adalat or other alternative dispute resolution mechanisms available in India
- Courts of competent jurisdiction in Hyderabad, Telangana
GoBackOrganizersTravellers

16. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute arising from or in connection with these Terms that cannot be resolved informally shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Hyderabad, Telangana, India.


Nothing in this clause limits your rights as a consumer under the Consumer Protection Act 2019 or other applicable consumer protection legislation.
