The rules and conditions for using our platform.
Version 1.0 | Last Updated: February 2026
1. Introduction and Definitions
1.1 About Tribii
Tribii ("Tribii", "we", "us", or "our") is a technology platform operated by Hoodbnb B.V. or its affiliated entity, incorporated and operated in accordance with EU law. Tribii provides a technology intermediary solution that enables independent hospitality businesses to reduce their dependency on Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) through direct booking channels, channel management tools, and property management systems. Tribii is not a travel agency, operator, or contracting party to guest accommodation contracts.
1.2 Scope of Application
These Terms and Conditions apply to: (a) accommodation service providers ("Property Owners" or "Hotels") who use our platform to manage bookings, listings, and related services; and (b) travellers and guests ("Guests" or "Consumers") who book accommodation through a Property Owner's Tribii-powered booking page or embedded widget.
1.3 Key Definitions
For clarity, the following definitions apply throughout these Terms:
- "B2B Services" means services provided by Tribii to Property Owners, including booking page creation, widget integration, property management, analytics, channel management, and website builder tools.
- "B2C Services" means services provided by Tribii to Guests, including access to booking facilities through a Property Owner's Tribii-powered booking page or embedded widget.
- "Direct Bookings" means reservations created through a Property Owner's direct booking page or embedded widget, where no commission is charged by Tribii.
- "SaaS Subscriptions" means premium software-as-a-service tiers offered to Property Owners (e.g., PMS, Channel Manager, Website Builder).
- "Digital Services Act" and "DSA" refer to Regulation (EU) 2022/2065.
- "P2B Regulation" refers to Regulation (EU) 2019/1150 on business-to-business platform transparency and fairness.
2. Tribii's Role and Intermediary Status
2.1 Technology Intermediary, Not Contracting Party
Tribii operates as a technology intermediary and platform bridge. We do NOT:
- Enter into contracts with Guests as a party to accommodation reservations
- Provide accommodation services ourselves
- Control the terms, pricing, or conditions of accommodation offered by Property Owners
- Process, hold, or handle guest payments for accommodation at any stage
- Provide travel agency services as defined under the Package Travel Directive
- Act as an auctioneer, agent, or representative of either Property Owners or Guests
The contract for accommodation is concluded directly between the Property Owner and the Guest. Tribii facilitates this connection through our platform technology.
2.2 Dual Legal Relationships
Tribii maintains separate contractual relationships with Property Owners (B2B) and with Guests (B2C). These relationships are governed by the relevant terms in Section 3 and Section 4 of these Terms and Conditions.
2.3 Compliance with Digital Services Act (DSA)
Tribii complies with the Digital Services Act (EU 2022/2065) as a hosting service provider for user-generated content and as a platform facilitating services. Our compliance measures include:
- Transparent terms of service and community standards
- User complaint handling and internal dispute resolution
- Designation of a single point of contact for legal authorities
- Reporting on content moderation and takedown actions
- Measures to prevent and detect illegal content
- Tools for users to report illegal or harmful content
For DSA-related inquiries, contact our designated DSA contact at contact [at] tribii [dot] com.
2.4 Compliance with P2B Regulation (EU 2019/1150)
Tribii complies with the Platform-to-Business (P2B) Regulation. Property Owners are entitled to:
- Clear, transparent, and easily available terms of service
- Notice of at least 15 days before material changes to these Terms and Conditions
- Transparent and explainable ranking systems for property visibility
- Internal complaint handling mechanisms
- Access to mediation procedures for disputes
We provide annual reports on our ranking mechanisms and will notify Property Owners of significant algorithmic changes affecting their visibility.
2.5 No Payment Processing by Tribii
Tribii does NOT process, hold, or control payments for accommodation bookings. Guests always pay the Property Owner directly using the Property Owner's own payment systems (e.g., Stripe, PayPal, bank transfers). Tribii has no access to, visibility of, or involvement in the payment flow between Guests and Property Owners.
Tribii does not charge any commission on bookings. Revenue is generated exclusively through optional SaaS subscriptions and paid add-on features purchased by Property Owners.
Tribii does not act as a payment intermediary, payment institution, or payment service provider under PSD2. Property Owners are solely responsible for their own payment processing, compliance with payment regulations, and settlement with Guests.

For full details on how we handle your data, see our Privacy Policy.

5. Liability and Limitation of Liability
5.1 Tribii's Limited Liability
Tribii operates as a technology intermediary and platform provider, not as a party to guest accommodations or as an organizer of package travel. Because Tribii does not control accommodation terms, pricing, payment processing, property owner conduct, or guest conduct, Tribii's liability is limited accordingly.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TRIBII DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR: disputes between Guests and Property Owners, payment issues, cancellations, no-shows, or overbooking by Property Owners, property damage, theft, loss, or harm to guests, violations of house rules by guests, misleading property information provided by owners, reviews or user-generated content posted by third parties, failure of linked websites or third-party services, and indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.
5.2 Service Availability and Interruption
Tribii endeavors to maintain high availability and will use reasonable efforts to prevent service interruptions. We do not guarantee uninterrupted service and are not liable for scheduled maintenance, unforeseeable technical failures, connectivity issues, third-party service failures, or security breaches (except where Tribii is negligent). We will provide reasonable notice of planned maintenance when possible.
5.3 Indemnification
Property Owners agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Tribii from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses arising from the Property Owner's violation of these Terms or applicable law, breach of contracts with guests, content uploaded, guest injuries or property damage, and tax non-compliance.
Guests agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Tribii from the Guest's violation of these Terms, damage caused to property, violation of house rules, and false or defamatory content posted.
5.4 Insurance and Risk Allocation
Property Owners are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining appropriate insurance. Guests are responsible for obtaining personal travel insurance, including cancellation coverage. Tribii does not provide travel insurance and is not responsible for travel-related losses.

8.4 Arbitration and Litigation
If internal complaint handling, P2B mediation, or ODR does not resolve the dispute, either party may pursue legal remedies through court proceedings.
