# Sails Rides — Tour Operator Agreement Terms — Earnings and Quarterly Activity

## 1. Universal quarterly trip limit
Every Tour Operator participating in Sails Rides is subject to the same maximum of **250 completed Sails Rides trips per calendar quarter**. This condition applies to all Tour Operators without exception, regardless of company size, booking volume, brand, affiliation, or distribution reach.

For this limit, one standard Tour Operator trip counts as one trip. One completed Join Sails multi-vessel expedition also counts as one Tour Operator trip, regardless of the number of participating vessels.

## 2. Completed trips only
A Tour Operator earns payment only for an eligible trip that has actually been accomplished and recorded as **COMPLETED** under Sails Rides operational rules. Pending, cancelled, failed, refunded, held/disputed, or unfinished trips are not payable while in those states.

## 3. Monthly settlement
Eligible completed trips are grouped according to the calendar month in which completion is recorded. All eligible trips completed during that month form that month's Operator settlement.

## 4. Payment date
The monthly settlement is scheduled for payment on the **third business day of the following calendar month**, subject to the Sails Rides payment-provider/banking business calendar and any lawful payment hold.

## 5. Compensation amount
The amount earned for an eligible completed trip is determined by the applicable written Sails Rides Tour Operator compensation agreement or schedule. Product mockups, examples, forecasts, or dashboard sample values do not establish or modify a compensation rate.

## 6. Platform enforcement
Sails Rides may enforce the quarterly limit through booking/selection eligibility controls, completion accounting, settlement controls and audit records so that the universal 250-trip quarterly condition is applied consistently.


# Additional Travel / International Safety Terms

## 7. Domestic trip duration
Tour Operator trips that remain entirely within one nation are not subject to a Sails Rides maximum duration. Extended domestic voyages remain subject to applicable law, vessel capability, insurance, passenger, port, and safety requirements.

## 8. International travel
Tour Operator trips may visit another nation. International trips must remain within one continent, must return to the origin, and may last no more than **7 total days**.

## 9. No intercontinental trips
Sails Rides does not permit a Tour Operator trip/deal that crosses from one continent to another.

## 10. Legal-document responsibility
For an international Tour Operator trip, the Tour Operator is responsible for preparing and verifying all applicable customs, immigration, port-entry, permit, passenger-manifest, and related trip documentation. Operating Sailors remain responsible for vessel/captain obligations that legally remain with them. Sails Rides does not obtain those legal documents on the Tour Operator's behalf.

## 11. Non-return passenger reporting
If a booked passenger on an international round trip does not return as scheduled, the Tour Operator must promptly report the non-return passenger to Sails Rides. The operating Sailor may also submit the report.

## 12. Sails Rides safety escalation
Sails Rides will treat a valid non-return report as a serious safety/compliance incident and require escalation to an appropriate authority or emergency/missing-person channel according to the circumstances and applicable law.

The Sails Rides case will be described as a **reported non-return passenger / potentially missing person** unless and until a competent authority formally classifies the person as missing.

## 13. Separate legal reporting obligations
Reporting the matter to Sails Rides does not replace customs, immigration, port, maritime, law-enforcement, Coast Guard, or other reporting obligations imposed on the Tour Operator or operating Sailor.


## Passenger Accountability During International Trips
The Tour Operator shall maintain accurate passenger accountability for each international round trip conducted through Sails Rides. The passenger manifest must reflect the booked party, each passenger must be accounted for at departure, and final-return status must be recorded.

If a passenger does not return as scheduled, the Tour Operator must ensure a non-return passenger report is submitted to Sails Rides and must separately satisfy any customs, immigration, maritime, port, law-enforcement, or other reporting duty that applies to the Tour Operator.

An international trip may not be marked completed in Sails Rides while a booked passenger remains unaccounted for. A valid non-return report may allow operational trip closeout, but it does not close the related safety or authority-escalation case.
