Independent Travel Consultant Agreement
Version 1.2 (2026-08-05). Every member who earns commission on TravVida enrolls under this agreement — commission is compensation for producing bookings, never a discount, rebate, or price reduction. See also our Terms and Privacy Policy.
1. Appointment
TravVida Inc, a Wyoming corporation with its principal place of business at 270 West 500 North, North Salt Lake, Utah 84054 (the “Company”), appoints you, and you accept appointment, as a non-exclusive independent travel consultant of the Company.
Upon acceptance of this Agreement and completion of the Company’s consultant certification, you are authorized to produce travel bookings through the Company’s platform and appear on the Company’s consultant roster under a consultant identification number. Payout onboarding (Section 6(e)) opens after your first confirmed booking and is a precondition to payment, not to booking.
2. Independent contractor status
You are an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, joint venture, partnership, or franchise relationship. You control whether, when, and how much you use the platform, receive no salary, wages, or benefits, and are free to pursue any other occupation.
You have no authority to bind the Company to any obligation, to hold yourself out as an employee or officer of the Company, or to use the Company’s supplier credentials outside the platform.
3. What you do
You produce travel bookings through the Company’s platform, for yourself or for other travelers, and are responsible for: (a) accurate and complete traveler information on every booking; (b) communicating supplier terms — including cancellation and change policies — to each traveler you book; and (c) conducting yourself honestly and professionally in connection with every booking.
4. What the Company does
The Company maintains the supplier accreditations, registrations, and platform through which bookings are made; collects commission from suppliers; maintains records of bookings and commission; and pays you as set out in Section 6.
5. Booking and payment; cardholder authorization
You may book travel for yourself and for other travelers. Payment for a booking may be made with a payment method belonging to you, or with a payment method belonging to a person named on the booking.
When using a payment method that does not belong to you, you represent and certify, for each charge, that the cardholder is a person named on the booking and has expressly authorized that charge for that booking. You are responsible for any charge made without such authorization, and the Company may recover from you any loss, chargeback, or penalty arising from an unauthorized charge, including by offset under Section 6(c).
Use of a payment method other than your own is available once you have accepted this Agreement and completed the Company’s consultant certification.
Any reimbursement arrangement between you and your travelers is a personal matter between you, subject always to Section 7.
6. Compensation
(a) You earn a commission share on bookings you produce, at the percentage of net commission published for your membership tier at the time of booking. “Net commission” means the commission actually received by the Company from the supplier for the booking, less the Company’s published ancillary percentage.
(b) Commission is compensation for producing a booking. It is not a discount, rebate, or reduction of the price of travel. The price of travel is set by the supplier and is unaffected by this Agreement.
(c) Commission becomes payable only after (i) the Company has actually received the corresponding commission from the supplier, (ii) the travel has been completed, and (iii) any published reconciliation period has elapsed. No commission is payable on canceled or refunded bookings, and commission paid on a booking later refunded or charged back may be offset against future payments.
(d) Commission on travel insurance products is never shared with you and is excluded from every calculation under this Agreement.
(e) Payment is made through the Company’s payout provider. Completion of payout onboarding, including tax documentation (IRS Form W-9), is a precondition to any payment. The Company will report your compensation on IRS Form 1099-NEC where required by law.
7. Supplier rules and the no-rebate obligation
The Company’s supplier agreements prohibit offering discounts, rebates, credits, or similar reductions off supplier pricing. You shall not offer, advertise, or provide any discount, rebate, kickback, or sharing of commission to any traveler or third party in connection with any booking. Your commission is your own compensation and may not be marketed, offered, or used as a price reduction for others.
You shall not advertise supplier products below published fares, shall not bid on or use supplier trademarks in any advertising, and shall comply with any supplier-specific rules the Company publishes on the platform.
A violation of supplier rules can cause suppliers to revoke the Company’s accreditation for every consultant on the platform. The Company may therefore suspend or terminate this Agreement immediately for any violation of this Section.
8. Certification
You must complete the Company’s consultant certification before first payment, and any recertification the Company reasonably requires when rules or platform behavior change materially.
9. Titles
While enrolled and in good standing, you may use the professional title corresponding to your membership tier (“Registered Travel Consultant,” “Professional Travel Consultant,” or “Travel Agent”) solely in connection with the Company’s platform.
“Accredited” status and industry credentials (including any CLIA or EMBARC credential) are separately earned under the Company’s published requirements and are not conferred by membership or by this Agreement.
10. Compliance with law
Each party shall comply with applicable law, including seller-of-travel registration laws where applicable to that party. You are responsible for your own income and self-employment taxes.
11. Data
Traveler information you enter is handled under the Company’s Privacy Policy. You shall enter traveler information only with the traveler’s authorization and shall not misuse personal information obtained through the platform.
12. Term and termination
This Agreement runs until terminated. Either party may terminate at any time for any reason on notice; the Company may suspend or terminate immediately for a violation of Section 7 or dishonest conduct. Commission already earned and payable under Section 6 survives termination; enrollment status and titles do not.
13. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
The platform is provided “as is.” The Company does not guarantee any level of commission, earnings, or supplier availability, and makes no earnings representations of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company’s aggregate liability under this Agreement is limited to the commission amounts payable and unpaid to you.
14. General
This Agreement, together with the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy it incorporates, is the entire agreement on its subject. The Company may amend it prospectively on notice; continued use of the platform after notice is acceptance. Governing law and venue: Utah, courts sitting in Davis County, Utah. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stands.
