Welcome to Alpaca!

These terms and conditions (Terms) govern your membership with Alpaca, a product described on our Website at https://www.alpaca.travel/ (Subscription). Your Subscription is for the tiered package as selected by you and agreed between us by means of the Website (Subscription Tier).

By creating an account on the Platform or otherwise accepting the benefit of any part of the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms which form a binding contractual agreement between you or the company you represent (the ‘Client’, or ‘you’) and Alpaca Travel Pty Limited ACN 608 409 990 (‘Alpaca’, ‘our’, ‘we’ or ‘us’). You represent and warrant that you have valid authority to enter into these Terms on behalf of any entity you may represent.

If you are an Administrator and are accepting these Terms and using our Platform on behalf of an Organisation, references to ‘you’ or ‘the Client’ in these Terms mean the Organisation that you represent, and you acknowledge and agree that you are binding the Organisation to these Terms, and you represent and warrant that you are authorised to do so.

Please note that your Subscription will continue to renew indefinitely, and you will continue to incur Fees, unless you cancel your Subscription in accordance with clause 1.3.

We may change these Terms at any time by notifying you, and your continued use of the Platform following such an update will represent an agreement by you to be bound by the Terms as amended.

In these Terms, capitalised words and phrases have the meanings given to them where they are followed by bolded brackets, or as set out in the Definitions table at the end of these Terms.

Please read these terms and conditions carefully before agreeing to proceed with your Subscription.
