5. Business and Place Listings Created by Awohah
Awohah may independently create and publish listings for businesses, places, venues, attractions, accommodations, activities and other locations that may be useful to Platform users.
Businesses do not need to create an Awohah account before appearing on the Platform.
The Awohah team may independently research and visit businesses and locations in order to create useful listings.
When preparing a listing, Awohah may:
- Visit a business or location

Some factual information may be collected directly by the Awohah team.
Other factual business information may be obtained from information made publicly available by the business or from other lawful sources.
6. Unclaimed Listings
The appearance of a business or place on Awohah does not automatically mean that the business:
- Created the listing
- Has an Awohah account
- Has claimed the listing
- Has paid Awohah
- Has entered into a partnership with Awohah
- Has been endorsed by Awohah
- Has been fully verified by Awohah
Where appropriate, Awohah may identify a listing as unclaimed or unverified.
7. Accuracy of Listings
Awohah aims to provide useful and accurate information.
However, information about businesses, destinations and places can change.
Awohah does not guarantee that every listing is complete, current or error-free.
A business owner or authorized representative may contact Awohah to report inaccurate or outdated information.
Businesses do not need to purchase a paid service simply to request correction of inaccurate factual information.
Awohah may request reasonable evidence before making significant changes to a listing.
Requests concerning privacy rights, intellectual property, identity misuse or other legal matters will be handled in accordance with applicable law.
8. Claiming a Business
Any person who believes they are the owner or an authorized representative of a business displayed on Awohah may request to claim that business.
Submitting a claim does not automatically provide management access.
The claimant must first complete Awohah's verification process.
A claim may be initiated through a "Claim this business" or similar option on the Platform.
The claimant may then be required to contact Awohah through WhatsApp or another communication method provided by Awohah.
Claiming a basic business listing is separate from purchasing any optional paid Awohah service.
9. Business Verification
Awohah may request information including:
- Full name
- Email address
- Telephone number
- WhatsApp number
- Position within the business
- Business registration information
- Business email address
- Official website
- Official social media accounts

- Other reasonable evidence
Awohah may independently contact the business through known contact details to confirm a claim.
Verification may take place through:
- Telephone
- Business documents
- Identification documents
- Website verification
- Social media verification
- Other reasonable methods
Awohah may reject, delay or place a claim on hold if the claimant cannot provide sufficient evidence of authority.
10. Meaning of Verification
Verification means that Awohah has taken reasonable steps to confirm the relationship between the claimant and the relevant business.
Verification does not mean that Awohah guarantees:
- The quality of the business
- The safety of the business
- The financial condition of the business
- Every license held by the business
- Every statement made by the business
- Every product or service offered
- Customer satisfaction
- Future behavior
- Legal compliance in every circumstance
Verification is intended to help confirm management authority within Awohah. It should not be interpreted as a guarantee, certification or endorsement of the business.
Users remain responsible for making their own decisions when interacting or transacting with a business.
11. Managing a Claimed Business
Once a claim has been approved, an authorized business owner or representative may receive access to manage the business listing.
Claiming and managing the basic business listing is separate from Awohah's optional paid promotional and commercial services.
Depending on available functionality, verified business managers may be able to:

- Update business information
- Add photographs
- Replace certain photographs

14. Business Marketplace Listings

Some Marketplace categories may be free.
Other Marketplace categories may require payment.
Paid categories may include certain:
- Vehicle listings
- Tours
- Rentals
- Accommodation
- Services
- Other categories selected by Awohah
The applicable price will be displayed before the user completes the relevant paid action.
15. Individual Marketplace Listings
Individual users may also publish Marketplace advertisements where permitted.
A user does not necessarily need to own a registered business to use Marketplace categories available to individuals.
Some Marketplace categories may be free.
Other categories may require payment.
The applicable price will be displayed before a paid listing is activated.
16. Trader and Private Seller Status
Marketplace users may be required to indicate whether they are acting as:
- A business or professional trader
- A private individual
Users must accurately declare the capacity in which they are acting.
Awohah may display this status to other users where appropriate or required.
A user does not become a private seller merely by selecting a private or personal account if that user's Marketplace activity is actually commercial or professional in nature.
Awohah may request additional information or verification where reasonably necessary to confirm a user's status or comply with applicable law.
Where applicable, users will be informed when an offer is made by a private individual rather than a professional trader and that consumer protections specifically applicable to transactions between consumers and professional traders may not apply to such a transaction.
The person or business offering the relevant product or service remains responsible for accurately identifying their status.
17. Marketplace Listing Fees
Awohah may charge fees based on factors including:
- Category
- Listing type

Paying a Marketplace listing fee provides access to the applicable Platform functionality.
It does not guarantee:

- Customers
- Bookings
- Rentals
- Sales
- Revenue
- Any other particular result
Awohah may change Marketplace fees and paid categories from time to time.

Depending on the Boost purchased, a boosted advertisement may:

- Bookings
The duration and functionality of a Boost will be described where appropriate before purchase.

Featured does not mean that Awohah:
- Guarantees the business
- Certifies the business
- Guarantees its products or services
- Guarantees its safety
- Guarantees customer satisfaction

Users should understand Featured as paid increased visibility and access to certain additional Platform features.

Paid promotional status may materially influence visibility.
For example:
- Featured businesses may receive priority placement in relevant business searches
- Boosted Marketplace advertisements may receive increased or higher placement compared with non-boosted advertisements
- Sponsored or promoted content may be displayed more prominently
Other factors, such as recency, listing completeness, verification status, popularity and user interaction, may also influence ranking.
The relative importance of individual factors may vary depending on the type of search, destination, category, Marketplace section or other Platform functionality being used.
Awohah may update its ranking systems as the Platform develops.
Awohah is not required to disclose exact algorithms, formulas, source code or technical systems where such disclosure is not required by applicable law or could reasonably enable manipulation, fraud, abuse or circumvention of Platform systems.
Where appropriate, paid, sponsored or promoted placements may be identified as such.
22. Events
Eligible businesses may be permitted to create, publish or host events.

- The tenant
- The vehicle rental company
- The tour operator

Refund and cancellation rights depend on:
- What was purchased
- Who supplied the product or service
- Applicable transaction conditions
