User Roles
Customers
Customers are users who discover, request, and book services offered by Buddies through ChillUp.
Buddies
Buddies are independent freelancers or service providers who offer approved activities, skills, time, or services through ChillUp. Buddies may create profiles, list services, specify availability, receive booking requests, and earn through completed bookings in accordance with applicable Platform terms.
A user may be permitted to use ChillUp in both roles, subject to the applicable onboarding and verification requirements.
Nature of the Platform and Services
ChillUp is a marketplace for real-world, activity-based services. Services may include activities such as doctor visits, shopping, photography, city tours and walks, religious visits, sports and gym activities, coffee or tea, pool or snooker, food outings, parties, and other approved services offered through the Platform.
The specific services available may change from time to time. Customers are responsible for reviewing the service description, Buddy profile, applicable price, duration, availability, and other relevant information before making a booking.
ChillUp does not guarantee that a particular Buddy, service, activity, time slot, location, or experience will always be available.
ChillUp does not guarantee personal compatibility, satisfaction, quality of an individual service, or any particular outcome from a booking. The actual service is provided by the relevant Buddy and remains subject to the agreed booking details and applicable Platform rules.
Independent Buddy Relationship
Buddies operate as independent service providers using ChillUp as a marketplace and technology platform. Unless separately agreed in writing, a Buddy is not an employee, agent, partner, or representative of Metiva Technologies Private Limited or ChillUp.
Buddies are responsible for providing accurate information about their services, maintaining the availability they publish, complying with applicable laws, and delivering the services they accept in accordance with the booking and Platform rules.
Buddies are also responsible for maintaining any professional qualification, licence, registration, permission, insurance, or other authorisation that may be required for a particular service under applicable law.
Verification and Safety
ChillUp may require Buddies to complete identity verification, background checks, profile review, and other verification procedures before or during their participation on the Platform.
Verification is intended to support trust and safety on the Platform. However, verification does not constitute a guarantee, endorsement, certification, or warranty of a Buddy's future conduct, service quality, or suitability for a particular Customer.
Customers and Buddies must follow ChillUp's Community Guidelines and Safety Guidelines at all times.
ChillUp may suspend, restrict, review, or remove an account, profile, listing, or booking where there are reasonable safety, fraud, conduct, verification, or policy concerns.
Bookings
Customers may submit booking requests for available services offered by Buddies. A booking becomes confirmed only when the applicable confirmation process specified by ChillUp has been completed.
Customers should review the Buddy profile, service description, price, duration, location, availability, cancellation terms, and other relevant details before confirming a booking.
Buddies are responsible for reviewing booking requests and accepting only those bookings they are willing and able to fulfil.
ChillUp may cancel, restrict, or modify a booking where necessary because of safety concerns, policy violations, technical issues, fraud concerns, availability problems, or other legitimate reasons.
Payments, Fees and Transactions
Customers must make applicable booking payments through the payment methods made available by ChillUp.
The amount payable may include the Buddy's listed service charge and applicable ChillUp platform, convenience, processing, or other disclosed fees.
Applicable charges will be displayed through the Platform before the Customer confirms a booking, subject to the Platform's technical and operational flow.
Buddies must not request or accept payment outside the Platform for bookings that are required to be processed through ChillUp.
ChillUp may use authorised third-party payment gateways and payment service providers to process transactions.
Cancellation, Refunds and Rescheduling
Cancellations, refunds, rescheduling, and related charges are governed by ChillUp's Cancellation & Refund Policy.
Customers and Buddies are responsible for reviewing the applicable cancellation terms before confirming or accepting a booking.
ChillUp may apply different rules depending on the timing of a cancellation, the reason for cancellation, the status of the booking, or other circumstances specified in the applicable policy.
Where a refund is approved, the amount and method of refund will be determined in accordance with the applicable Cancellation & Refund Policy and payment-provider processes.

Platform Availability
We aim to keep ChillUp available and functional, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to the Platform.

Limitation of Liability

While ChillUp takes reasonable measures intended to support verification, safety, platform integrity, and responsible use, we do not guarantee the identity, qualifications, conduct, availability, quality, legality, suitability, or future behaviour of every user or service provider.
Customers and Buddies are responsible for exercising their own judgment when deciding whether to request, accept, attend, or participate in a service or activity.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ChillUp and Metiva Technologies Private Limited shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of the Platform or participation in a service, except where such liability cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit any liability or consumer right that cannot legally be excluded or limited under applicable law.
Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for losses, claims, liabilities, costs, or expenses arising from your unlawful use of ChillUp, your violation of these Terms or applicable Platform policies, your misuse of another person's rights, or your fraudulent or intentionally wrongful conduct.
This provision does not apply to the extent that such liability results from ChillUp's own conduct that cannot legally be allocated to the user.
