Day Trio Referral Terms

This summary is here to help. If it differs from the numbered sections, the numbered sections apply.

• Share your link or QR code. A booking counts for you when all of these are true:
  • the guest books and pays on Day Trio within 30 days of the last time they clicked your link or scanned your code;
  • they book on the same phone or browser;
  • no other affiliate's link or code was used after yours.
• You earn a % of Day Trio's commission on that booking. That commission is the fee the partner pays Day Trio, and your % applies to it before tax. Your % is shown in your dashboard. The guest pays the same price either way.
• Your share locks about 6 days after the trip, if the trip went ahead and no complaint is open.
  • If the booking is cancelled or fully refunded before we pay you, your share is cancelled. The same applies if the guest doesn't turn up.
  • If the guest gets part of their money back before we pay you, your share goes down in the same proportion.
  • If the date changes before your share locks, we work your share out again.
• Today we pay in Indian rupees (INR), by bank transfer to the account in your payment details, once a month. If that changes, we will tell you first.
• We pay your share in full. We don't take any tax off it. You handle your own taxes where you live. If you live in India:
  • we also need your PAN;
  • if you are GST-registered, add GST to your bill and we pay it on top of your share.
• Say that you earn a commission, every time. Start with "Ad" or "#ad". Describe each trip as run by a local partner and booked through Day Trio. Be honest about prices and what is included.
• Not allowed:
  • earning on your own trips, or on bookings made from your own Day Trio account;
  • fake bookings;
  • paying people to click or book;
  • spam;
  • faking clicks;
  • search ads on the name "Day Trio".
• If we have already paid you, we take that share back from your next payout if the booking is later:
  • reversed by the guest's bank;
  • found to be fraud; or
  • fully refunded because the trip didn't run or the law required it.
• Changes: we give you notice before we lower your % or change these terms. Bookings already made keep their %. Either of us can end this agreement, and valid shares you have earned are still paid.

Day Trio. These terms are an agreement between you and Day Trio ("Day Trio", "we", "us"). Day Trio is a business registered in India at Old Children Park Shopping Complex, Room 25, Tibet Road, Opposite Sardar Thana, Gangtok, Sikkim 737101, India.

What Day Trio is. Day Trio is a marketplace. The trips are created, run and fulfilled by the independent operators who list them. We call these operators "partners". In these terms, a "trip" means any day out, multi-day trip or ride listed on Day Trio.

What you do. You send travellers to Day Trio. You don't sell or run trips.

Our other policies. Our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy also apply. Where they differ from these terms about the affiliate programme, these terms apply.

Moving the agreement. We may move this agreement to another Day Trio business, for example one in another country. We will tell you first, and any shares you have earned move with it.

Who can join. Anyone can apply, including creators, bloggers, travel agents, drivers, guides and people who host travellers. You must:

• be 18 or over;
• be able to make a contract;
• give us true details and keep them up to date.

Joining for a business. You confirm that you can agree to these terms for that business. If you run a business on your own (a sole trader or proprietor), you are personally responsible under these terms.

Review.

• We usually review applications within 2–3 business days.
• We decide which applications to approve, and we may not always say why.
• You can't earn while your application is pending, or if it is declined.

One account. Each person or business may have one affiliate account.

If our team adds you. Bookings count for you from the day we add you. We pay nothing until we have recorded that you agreed to these terms (section 16).

How we track it. When someone opens your link or scans your standee, their browser saves a small file (a cookie) for 30 days.

A booking counts for you when all of these are true:

• the guest books and pays online on Day Trio;
• they book on the same browser where they clicked your link or scanned your code;
• they book within 30 days of their last click or scan;
• your account was approved when the guest placed the booking.

The last affiliate wins.

• If the guest later uses another affiliate's link or code, the booking no longer counts for you. It counts for that affiliate if their account is approved.
• If the guest clicks or scans yours again, the 30 days start again.
• If the guest comes back later through an ad, a search engine or by typing daytrio.com, your cookie stays in place.

A booking does not count when:

• the guest books on a different phone, computer or browser, or blocks or clears cookies;
• the guest's cookie choices, or the privacy law where they are, don't let us record the referral;
• more than 30 days have passed since their last click or scan;
• the booking is made by phone or in person, or is entered by a partner or by our team;
• the booking is made from your own Day Trio account (section 9).

Our records decide. Our system decides which affiliate a booking belongs to at the moment the guest places it, and our records settle which bookings count. If you think something is wrong, tell us and we will check. We can't add bookings that our system didn't record.

Clicks. Your dashboard counts clicks and scans. Some of them may come from bots. Only bookings earn money.

QR standees. We may give you standees (small printed stands with a QR code).

• Who gets the booking. A scan counts for the affiliate the standee belongs to at the time of the scan.
• Reassigning. We may reassign a standee, for example if it moves or this agreement ends.
• Who owns them. Standees stay Day Trio's property. You return them, or let us collect them, when we ask.
• Where you put them. Only place standees where the owner of the place agrees. Don't cover, change or copy the QR code.

These rules can change. These are today's tracking rules. We may change them, including the 30 days, with notice under section 12. A booking already credited to you keeps its credit.

Your share. For each booking that counts, you earn a % of Day Trio's commission on that booking, before GST or any other tax.

• Day Trio's commission is the fee the partner pays Day Trio for each booking.
• It does not include the guest's service fee, taxes, or the partner's own earnings.
• Your dashboard may call your share your "commission".

Your %.

• It is shown in your dashboard. It is either a % we have agreed with you or our standard %.
• It is the same for every trip and every city. The amount you earn still differs from booking to booking, because Day Trio's commission differs by trip and date.
• Each booking keeps the % that applied when the guest booked. Section 12 explains how your % can change.

Currency. Your share is worked out in the booking's currency and rounded to 2 decimal places.

No cost to the guest. The guest pays the same price with or without your link. Your share comes out of Day Trio's commission.

Pending. Your share shows as pending once the guest has paid.

Locked. Your share locks and becomes available to pay out when all of these are true:

• the booking has been marked completed;
• about 6 days have passed since the date of the trip (for a multi-day trip, its last day);
• no complaint is open on the booking. If one is open, your share waits until the complaint is settled.

These are today's timings. We may change them with notice under section 12.

Date changes. If a paid booking moves to a new date before your share locks, we work your share out again. We use the same %, applied to Day Trio's new commission before tax, so your share can go up or down. Money the guest gets back because the new date is cheaper is not a refund for the rules below: the new price already sets your share.

Cancelled or reduced shares. Until we pay you, whether your share has locked or not:

• If the booking is cancelled (by the guest, the partner or us) or fully refunded, for any reason, your share is cancelled.
• If the guest doesn't turn up: your share is cancelled, as for a cancellation.
• If the guest gets part of their money back, your share goes down in the same proportion. For example, if they get back a quarter of what they paid, your share goes down by a quarter.
• If the guest's bank takes the payment back (a chargeback), your share goes down in the same way: to nothing if all of it goes. If the dispute is settled in our favour before we pay you, your share comes back.

After your share locks. A locked share no longer changes with dates or prices, but it can still be cancelled or reduced as above until we pay you.

After we pay you. A share we have paid does not change if the guest later gets part of their money back. We take it back only if, within 180 days of the share locking, the booking is:

• fully refunded because the partner didn't run the trip, or because the law or a payment dispute required it;
• reversed by the guest's bank (a chargeback);
• found to be fraudulent or against these terms.

If we take back a share we have already paid, we deduct it from your next payouts. If no payouts are due, we may ask you to repay it within 30 days.

Payment details. Once you are approved, add your payment details in your dashboard. We can't pay you until you do, but your balance waits for you.

What we ask for.

• If you live outside India: the name on the account, the bank's name, the account number or IBAN, the SWIFT/BIC code and the bank's country. We don't normally need a tax number (see section 7).
• If you live in India: the name on the account, the account number, the IFSC and your PAN. If you are GST-registered, we also ask for your GSTIN, which must match your PAN.

The country you live in. You choose it when you first save your payment details. It decides which details we ask for and how tax works. After that, only we can change it, so write to us (section 15).

Wrong details. If we pay the account you gave us and the details were wrong, we will help you try to recover the money, but we don't have to pay again. If the mistake was ours, or our team entered the details for you, we pay you again.

Currency.

• INR today. Today we pay everyone in Indian rupees (INR). If we are to pay you in another currency, we will agree it with you first, and your dashboard will show the currency you are paid in.
• Bookings in other currencies. If a booking was priced in another currency, we convert your share at the exchange rate we use on the day the share locks. That rate is saved with each share, and we will show it to you on request.
• Banks outside India. Our bank may convert the INR amount into a currency it can send, at its own rate on the day we pay. You receive what arrives after any receiving or conversion charges taken by your bank or by banks along the way. We pay our own bank's sending fee.

When we pay. Once a month. We aim to pay by the 15th, and always by the end of the month, for shares locked by the end of the previous month. If you are GST-registered, we pay your share and the GST once we have your GST invoice.

Minimum payout.

• We pay once your available balance reaches the minimum shown in your dashboard, if there is one.
• We give notice before we add or raise a minimum.
• A balance below the minimum carries over.
• If this agreement has ended and we have tried and failed to pay you for 3 years, we may close the balance.

How we pay. By bank transfer to the account in your payment details, or by another method you agree to in writing.

Your dashboard shows what is pending, what is available to pay out and what has been paid out. We send you a statement with each payout.

Checks. We may ask for proof of who you are. We can't pay a person or a country where the law doesn't allow it.

We pay your share in full. We don't deduct any tax from it.

Everyone. You are responsible for your own taxes where you live.

If you live in India.

• Tax deducted at source (TDS). We don't deduct TDS from your share. If Indian tax law ever requires TDS on what we pay you, we pay that tax ourselves, on top of your share, so you still receive your full share. We pay it to the government against your PAN and give you the certificate, so you can claim credit for it in your tax return.
• If you are GST-registered:
  • Send us a GST tax invoice for each payout, adding GST at the rate in force on top of your share. We pay your share plus that GST. We give you our GSTIN for the invoice.
  • If your registration doesn't let you charge GST (for example the composition scheme), send a bill of supply with no GST instead.
• If you are not GST-registered: don't charge GST. Our payout statement is enough.

If you live outside India.

• We pay your share in full. Any tax India charges because we pay you, such as GST we pay ourselves under reverse charge, is our cost.
• Where the law requires it, we may ask for your tax ID, a tax residency certificate or a declaration form.

Our own tax. Any tax we must pay ourselves because we pay you is our cost. It is never taken from your share.

Say that you earn a commission, every time. Do this in every post, video, story, blog, message, card or sign that carries your link or code.

• Start with "Ad" or "#ad" where people will see it straight away. Putting it only in your bio, at the end, behind "more" or among hashtags is not enough.
• Add plain words, such as "I earn a commission if you book through my link."
• Use the same language as your post.
• Videos, stories and audio: put the label on screen and say it out loud.
  • Videos of 15 seconds or less: keep it on screen for at least 3 seconds.
  • Longer videos under 2 minutes: keep it on screen for at least a third of the video.
  • Videos of 2 minutes or more: keep it on screen for the whole part about Day Trio.
  • Live streams: keep the label on screen for the whole stream, say it at the start and the end, and add it to the caption if the stream stays up.
  • Audio: say it at the start, at the end, and before and after each break.
• Where you can, also switch on the platform's paid-partnership label.

Describe Day Trio correctly.

• Say that the trip is run by a local partner and booked through Day Trio.
• Don't say that Day Trio runs, organises, arranges or packages trips, and don't call them "Day Trio tours".
• Don't say that you work for Day Trio, speak for it, or are "official". You may call yourself a "Day Trio affiliate".

Be honest.

• Your opinion. Share only your genuine opinion. Don't suggest you have done a trip you haven't.
• Reviews. Don't write fake reviews, and don't ask anyone for them.
• Prices. Quote only a price that Day Trio showed for that trip and date when you posted, and say that prices can change. Otherwise leave the price out. Never quote a lower price than Day Trio shows, and never use "from as low as".
• Offers. Don't invent discounts, coupons, countdowns or claims such as "only 2 left".
• Promises. Promise nothing the listing doesn't say, such as pickups, what is included, refunds or availability. For cancellation terms, point people to the listing.

Local laws. Follow the advertising and consumer laws where you are and where your audience is.

Fixing posts. If we ask you to fix or remove something, do it within 48 hours.

• Earning on your own trips. You don't earn on bookings for yourself, your household, or friends and family travelling with you. This applies even if you book without signing in.
• Your own account. Bookings made from your own Day Trio account never earn, even when the trip is for someone else. Send the guest your link and let them book.
• Partners. If you are a partner on Day Trio, or work for one, you don't earn on bookings of that partner's own trips.
• Fake or paid-for bookings. No test, fake or fraudulent bookings. Don't pay or reward people to click or book.
• Cashback. You may not pass part of your share to guests as cashback or discounts unless we agree in writing.
• Recruiting others. You can't recruit other people to earn under your code, or pay people to join the programme.
• Spam. Don't send bulk email, SMS, WhatsApp or direct messages to people who don't know you or haven't agreed to hear from you.
• Faking clicks. Don't create clicks or scans that people didn't choose to make. That includes:
  • hidden or automatic redirects;
  • pop-ups that open your link;
  • bots or click farms;
  • software that adds your code to other people's visits.
• Ads on our name. Don't run search, social or app-store ads that target "Day Trio", "DayTrio", "daytrio" or misspellings of them.
• Ads through your link. Don't run search, display or social ads where clicking the ad takes people straight to Day Trio through your link, unless we agree in writing. You may boost your own post or video that carries your link and a clear "Ad" label.
• Look-alikes. Don't use domain names, usernames, page names, apps or email addresses that contain "Day Trio" or look like ours.
• Misleading claims. Anything that section 8 forbids.
• Harmful content. Don't promote Day Trio next to illegal, adult, hateful or violent content, or next to content that breaks other people's rights.

If you break these rules, we may cancel the shares from the bookings involved, and pause or end your account (section 13).

Guests' data.

• We never give you guests' names, emails, phone numbers or other contact details. Your dashboard shows only the booking number, the trip date, your share and its status.
• Guests use their booking numbers to show their booking, so don't publish or share them.
• Don't ask guests for their Day Trio booking details. Don't collect their details to pass on to us or to partners.
• If you collect personal details yourself, such as a mailing list or your own customers' contacts, you are responsible for them under the privacy law where you are.

Your data.

• What we use. We use your name, email and payment details (and, in India, your PAN and GSTIN) to run the programme, pay you and meet tax law.
• How we protect it. Bank account numbers and tax numbers are stored encrypted, and staff access to them is logged.
• How long we keep it. We keep payout and tax records for as long as tax law requires, even after you leave.

Click records. When someone opens your link, we store a scrambled (hashed) form of their IP address and browser, not the raw values, together with the page they came from. We use this to count clicks and spot fraud, and we delete it after 12 months.

• What you may use. Only to promote trips on Day Trio, you may use:
  • the Day Trio name and logo;
  • your link and QR code;
  • standees;
  • any materials we give you for affiliates.
• Sharing pages. You may also share Day Trio pages and the previews they create.
• What this permission is. It is not exclusive, you can't pass it on, and we can withdraw it at any time.
• Our logo. Use it as we supply it, without changes.
• Photos. Don't download and re-post listing or destination photos unless we give them to you for that purpose. They belong to the partner, to Day Trio or to the photographer.
• When this ends. Stop using all of it when this agreement ends.
• Your content. Your own photos, videos and writing stay yours.

• Your %. We may raise it at any time. We lower it, including our standard %, only after telling you by email at least 14 days before the change. Your dashboard always shows your current %.
• These terms and the programme. We give the same notice before a change takes effect.
• Bookings already made always keep the % that applied when the guest booked.
• If you don't agree, you can leave before the change takes effect. If you carry on after that, you accept the change.
• Urgent changes. If the law or a fraud risk requires it, a change may apply sooner. We will tell you as soon as we can.
• Closing the programme. We give the same notice, and valid shares you have earned are still paid.

Leaving. You can leave at any time by emailing us.

Ending by us.

• With notice. We can end this agreement on 14 days' notice by email.
• At once. We can pause or end it immediately if you break these terms, if we suspect fraud, or if the law requires it.

While you are paused.

• What stops. New bookings don't earn, scans of your standees don't earn, and you can't change your payment details yourself.
• What carries on. You can still see what you are owed. Shares you have already earned still lock and are paid as normal, unless they are linked to the reason we paused you.
• Bank changes. If your bank details change while you are paused or after you leave, write to us. We will update them after checking that it is you.

When the agreement ends. Stop using your link, standees and our materials. Bookings placed before the end still earn under these terms and are paid when they lock.

Holding payments.

• While we check. If we suspect fraud or a breach, we may hold the shares linked to it while we check, for up to 60 days. We will tell you why.
• If the problem is confirmed. Shares that came from fraud or from breaking these terms are cancelled.
• Everything else. Your other valid shares are still paid.

• You work for yourself. You are not Day Trio's employee, and you can't act in Day Trio's name. You can't take bookings or payments, make promises or give refunds on behalf of Day Trio or any partner. You pay your own costs.
• No exclusivity. You may promote other companies, and we may work with other affiliates anywhere.
• No guarantee. We don't promise any number of clicks, bookings or earnings.
• Tracking. We try to keep tracking and your dashboard working, but we can't promise they will never fail. We are not responsible for referrals missed because of technical problems, or because a guest's browser blocked or cleared cookies.
• The trips. Partners run the trips. We are not responsible to you for how a trip is run.
• Limits.
  • Indirect losses. Neither of us has to pay the other for lost profits or other indirect (knock-on) losses.
  • The cap. Each side's total liability to the other is limited to the greater of two amounts: the shares paid or payable to you in the 12 months before the claim, or ₹10,000.
  • What the cap doesn't touch. It never reduces shares you have earned. It doesn't cover fraud, promotion that breaks the law, or anything the law doesn't allow to be limited.
• Your promotion. You are responsible for your content and how you promote us. If a regulator fines us, or someone makes a claim against us, because you broke these terms (for example, an ad without a label, or a false claim), you cover our reasonable costs. This doesn't apply where the problem came from something you copied accurately from a Day Trio listing or from materials we gave you.

Law. Indian law governs these terms.

Disputes.

• Talk first. Email us, and we will both try to sort it out within 14 days.
• Arbitration. If that fails, one independent arbitrator decides the dispute under India's Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996.
  • We choose the arbitrator together. If we can't agree within 30 days, the arbitrator is appointed as that Act provides.
  • The arbitration is based in Gangtok, Sikkim, runs in English and can be held online.
• Small claims. Claims under ₹1,00,000 may go to the courts at Gangtok instead.
• Courts. The courts at Gangtok, Sikkim deal with urgent orders and enforcement.

Notices.

• To you. We write to the email address on your affiliate account.
• To us. Write to partners@daytrio.com.
• When they count. An email notice takes effect when it is sent, unless the sender gets a message saying it wasn't delivered.

General.

• Whole agreement. These terms, with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement about the programme.
• If part is invalid. The rest still applies.
• Transfers. You can't transfer this agreement. We may transfer it as section 1 says.
• Delay. If we don't enforce a rule straight away, we can still enforce it later.
• Language. The English version governs.
