The Standing List

Terms of Service

Last updated:

Who We Are, What We Do

The Standing List ("we," "us," "our") provides custom travel itinerary planning, local introduction services, and travel booking for select cities, currently including Ibiza, Bangkok, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Las Vegas, and cities across Canada.

We provide planning, recommendations, introductions to third-party venues and vendors, and travel booking services including flights, accommodations, and transportation where offered as part of a specific service package. We are not an insurance provider.

Eligibility

Our services, and much of the content on this site, relate to nightlife, alcohol service, and venues with age restrictions. By using our services, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, and any higher age requirement set by a specific venue or activity, e.g. 21+ in the United States).

Our Services

3.1 Free Content

City "field notes" pages are provided free of charge, for general informational purposes, and are updated periodically at our discretion. We do not guarantee the accuracy of free content at any given moment, though we make reasonable efforts to keep it current.

3.2 Paid Itineraries

Paid services (including but not limited to "One City," "Two Cities," "Three Cities," and "The Occasion" packages) include a defined scope of work — typically a day-by-day itinerary, local introductions, and a specified number of revision rounds — as described on our pricing page at the time of purchase. Delivery timelines are estimates and begin once full payment and any required trip details are received from the client.

Revisions beyond the number included in your package may be offered at our discretion for an additional fee.

3.3 The Standing List / On-the-Ground Access (Waitlist)

Our on-the-ground access tier is not yet live. Submitting an application or interest form for this tier does not constitute a purchase, payment, contract, or guarantee of future access. We reserve the right to determine eligibility, pricing, and availability for this tier if and when it launches.

Payment

Full or partial payment (as specified at checkout) is required before work begins on a paid itinerary. Payments are processed through Stripe, a third-party payment processor; we do not store your full payment card details on our own systems at any point.

Stripe is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1, the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry, and maintains SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications as well. This means Stripe undergoes independent, recurring security audits and encrypts payment data both in transit and at rest. Because payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe rather than by us directly, your card details are never transmitted to or stored on our servers.

Cancellations & Refunds

Once itinerary work has begun, fees are non-refundable. Cancellations made before work begins may be eligible for a partial refund, less any processing fees, at our discretion. For travel bookings, cancellation and refund eligibility is governed by the policies of the relevant third-party suppliers; any supplier-imposed fees or penalties are the client's responsibility.

No Guarantee of Third-Party Access or Outcomes

We work to secure reservations, introductions, and access through our relationships with venues, hosts, and local contacts. However:

Intellectual Property

Itineraries, recommendations, and materials we provide are for your personal, non-commercial use only. They may not be resold, redistributed, or republished (including on social media as your own original content) without our written permission.

All content on this site — including but not limited to text, city guides, graphics, and branding — is owned by The Standing List and may not be copied or reproduced without permission.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Standing List is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of our services or reliance on our recommendations, including but not limited to travel delays, flight cancellations, accommodation issues, venue closures, personal injury, or financial loss related to third-party bookings.

Our total liability for any claim relating to our services is limited to the amount you paid us for the specific service in question.

Assumption of Risk

Travel, nightlife, and recreational activities recommended or arranged through our services carry inherent risks. You participate in any recommended activity, venue, or experience at your own risk.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Governing Law

The laws of British Columbia, Canada, given our primary place of business, subject to review given our international client base.
