Introduction

a. This User Agreement (“Agreement”) contains important information about your legal
rights and obligations, and is a legally binding agreement between you (“you” or “User”)
and Dreamport Management (DIFC) Ltd (“Dreamport”, “Company,” “we”, or “us”),
governing your use of the website (https://www.dreamport.me/) (“Site”) and Platform as
defined in Section 1.
b. If you want to collaborate with us by registering an account, you must first read and agree
to the Terms of Use. “Terms of Use” means every agreement linked herein and includes
this Agreement and any other policies and/or procedures which might be adopted in the
future regarding usage of the Platform and published on the Site. You should read all our
terms carefully because you are bound by these terms once accepted and you are
obliged not to break any agreements and/or policies in the Terms of Use.
c. If you don’t want to conclude the Terms of Use or don’t understand the Terms of Use or
you don’t agree to all of its terms and conditions, you may not use our Platform. If you do
not understand or agree to the Terms of Use, do not click to accept the Terms of Use,
“Sign Up”, “Create My Account”, or similar, and do not use our Platform otherwise. A few
notes regarding interpretation of this Agreement:
The reference to the “Section” means a section of this Agreement.
The term “including” as used herein means including without limitation.

1. PLATFORM DESCRIPTION
We developed a new solution, the online Dreamport Platform (“Platform”), that we are
going to further improve, extend and advance. The Platform shall offer a virtual
environment and ecosystem of tools and processes to cater to providing efficient
application, onboarding, training, examination, and, ultimately, operational performance
of Independent Travel Managers (“ITM”). Independent Travel Managers support
travelers in planning their trips by providing exceptional service in: booking flights or
accommodation, arranging cruises, renting cars, looking for resort stays, and managing
events.
ITMs provide their services based on separate independent freelance service
agreements and are engaged on a ‘business-to-business’ principle as independent
contractors. Nothing under this Agreement creates an employment, agency, or joint
venture relationship between Dreamport and any User or ITM. A user may be treated as
an ITM only in the case of due execution of a Service Agreement (as this term defined
under Section 7 (Service Agreement) below) as provided further.
User acknowledges and agrees that he or she, and not Dreamport, is solely responsible
for (a) evaluating and determining the suitability of the ITM role and rendering freelance
services; (b) assessing whether to enter into a Service Agreement; (c) deciding whether
to enter into a Service Agreement as well as the contract terms, and (d) negotiating,
agreeing to, and executing any terms or conditions of the contracts as ITMs and for
performing and monitoring performance under them.
Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or does prohibit or discourage any User from
engaging in any other business activities or providing any services through any other
channels they choose. Users are free at all times to engage in such other business
activities and services and are encouraged to do so.

2. WHEN JOINING THE PLATFORM IS A GOOD IDEA


2.1 Your PC meets the minimal technical requirements
In order to pass training as provided under the Section 6 (Training) and proceed further
with execution of a Service Agreement and servicing travelers as ITM, your PC shall meet
the following minimum requirements:
(a) Processor: CPU with benchmark score of 5000 or higher;
(b) RAM: 8 GB RAM;
(c) Headset: headset, preferably wired;
(d) OS: not less than Windows 7 / Ubuntu 16 / macOS 10.14;
(e) Browser: Chrome only, not less than 106 version;
(f) Network: not less than 10Mbps (connecting via Wi-Fi or mobile data is not

(g) Camera: web camera, preferably built-in.

2.2 You are ready to study and work hard


If you aim to be successful in the travel industry, intend to develop your career as an ITM,
and are ready to work hard, joining the Platform is your route to success if you manage
to use it correctly. Here, on the Platform, you will acquire all the knowledge and skills
needed to start earning in the travel industry.
Upon successfully completing the training, you will not only be trained to be a successful
travel manager, but you will also have the knowledge and skills required to drive your
entire career and to support you in your daily life.

We are happy to invite you for your registration, first acquaintance and future cooperation.

2.3 You are ready to meet high performance standards


We should warn you that when and if you and we sign a Service Agreement and you
become an ITM, you will be subject to the high-performance standards, qualification
requirements and other terms that will be provided by us. Rendering ITM services that
are non-compliant with such standards and terms will serve as ground for termination of
a Service Agreement.

-5-
3.10 Data Protection Principles
Each User and/or ITM is a separate business project. Dreamport treats each User and/or
ITM as an independent contractor – legal persons. Data provided by Users and/or ITMs
means “personal data which concerns legal persons” (B2B relationships) and is
necessary to access the Platform. As a result, Dreamport uses best practices originated
from provisions of data protection laws and guides, at the same time, Dreamport as a
party in B2B relationships may derogate from those laws and guides.

3.11 Internal Communications

When you create your Dreamport Account, you agree that we may contact you via email,
WhatsApp and other messengers, telephone calls and other means of communications
(“Communications”). Our Communications will mainly relate to the Dreamport and the
Platform. When contacting you, we assume that you are interested in collaboration with
us and in receiving those Communications. However, if you are not interested in
Dreamport anymore, you may opt out of the Platform and of receiving Communications
by terminating your Account according to the Section 14.1 (Termination) below.

4. DATA ACCURACY
4.1 Accuracy of your data
When creating and operating your Account on the Platform, you must provide accurate
and complete information on your profile and on all registration and other forms you
access while using our Platform or provide to us and you agree to keep that information
up to date. You agree not to provide any false or misleading information about your
identity or location, your business, your skills, and you agree to amend and keep up to
date any information that is or becomes false or misleading. We reserve the right to
suspend or terminate the Account, or access to our Platform, to anyone who provides
false, inaccurate, or incomplete information in creating or maintaining an Account.

4.2 Verification of your data


When you register for an Account on the Platform and periodically thereafter, your
Account will be subject to verification, including but not limited to validation against third-
party databases or the verification of one or more official government or legal documents
that confirm your identity, your location, and other data provided by you. You authorize
us, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries necessary to validate your
identity, your location, and other data provided by you, email address or financial
accounts, subject to applicable law. When requested, you must provide us with complete
information about yourself in a timely manner, which includes providing official
government or legal documents, and cooperating with other reasonable requests we

-6-
make to verify your identity. During verification, some Account features may be
temporarily limited but will be restored if verification is successfully completed.

5. VERIFICATION OF YOUR EXPERIENCE


5.1 Assessment
Once your Account is registered and you accessed the Platform, we will ask you to
complete an Assessment. You will be able to access the Assessment, follow the status
and the feedback on your Assessment at your Personal Space.
The average testing time is around thirty (30) minutes (unless otherwise specified at your
Personal Space), so, please schedule your time accordingly.
We expect that you will undertake the Assessment within a reasonable time after you
complete your Account registration.
If your Account stays inactive for more than three (3) months, we may conclude that you
are not interested in further collaboration with us and terminate your Account without any
prior notice to you.

It will specify whether you passed the Assessment or not.

proceed with professional training courses as described under the Section 6 (Training)
below.
Please note that we keep our right to terminate your Account without any prior notice to
you if the results of your Assessment are unsatisfactory. In this case we may conclude
that you don’t take the Assessment seriously and you are not interested in collaboration
with us at all. So, please, take care to prepare for the Assessment and approach it
seriously!

6. TRAINING
6.1 Access to the Training
Upon successful completion of the Assessment, we will set up a training program for you
in order to reach the maximum effect from our collaboration (“Training”). The Training
includes various courses, trainings, sessions and tests. Please note that it may take some
time to design such a program. Once ready, your Training will be accessible via a special
button at your Personal Space.

training completion will be available at your Training space.

-7-
6.2 Time is of the essence

receive access to the Training. If it takes too long, we may conclude that you are not
interested in further collaboration with us and terminate your Account without any prior
notice to you.

your Training space. If you successfully complete the training program, you may be

us at all and terminate your Account without any prior notice to you. So, please, pay
attention to our training program and prepare for the tests carefully!

Throughout the Training, you will have the ability to access and/or use content provided
by third-party providers, instructors, and/or other third parties and links to websites and
services maintained by third parties ("Content Providers"). We cannot guarantee that
such third-party content, on the Platform or elsewhere, will be free of material you may
find objectionable or otherwise inappropriate or of malware or other contaminants that
may harm your computer, mobile device, or any files therein. We disclaim any
responsibility or liability related to your access or use of, or inability to access or use, such
third-party content.

6.5 Changes to the Training Program


As already mentioned above, we provide you with training courses and content at the
Training from the Content Providers. While we seek to provide high-class content that
shall strengthen your professional skills and maximize our collaboration, unexpected
events do occur. We reserve the right to cancel, interrupt, reschedule, or modify any
aspect of your training program, or change the point value or weight of any assignment,
quiz, or other assessment, either solely, or in accordance with Content Provider
instructions.

6.6 No Academic Credit


We do not grant academic credit for the completion of the training program. Test
completion does not confer any academic credit. Even if any kind of certificates upon

-8-
training completion are awarded to you at the Training, there is no presumption that any
other institutions or employers will accept such certificates. You agree not to accept credit
for completing the training course. We, instructors, and the associated Content Providers
have no obligation to have the training program recognized by any educational institution
or accreditation organization. The training program is prepared solely for the purposes of
the success of our potential future collaboration.

6.7 Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the representation of another person’s language, thoughts, ideas, or
expressions as one's own original work. It also includes the practice of engaging or
allowing another person to modify or revise your work, and then submitting the work as
your own. All your submissions and test results must be original works done
independently by you. Plagiarism is unacceptable on the Platform, and is a serious
violation of this Agreement. If some or all of your assignment/test results is/are identified
as plagiarism, the following actions may be taken:
(a) You will be notified that your assignment/test results was/were found to be
plagiarized, and a report of the plagiarism case will be considered by us.
(b) You will fail the plagiarized assignment/test. If your assignment/test previously
received a passing score, the score will be reverted to zero %.

passing grade, the certificate will be withheld or revoked.
(d) Removal from the training program and/or from the Platform, termination of your
Account without any prior notice to you.

course staff.

or dishonestly improve or damage the results of others.
Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the applicability to you of any policies established
by our content partners in connection with their content; such policies shall supplement
this Agreement and to the extent there is a conflict between such policies and this
Agreement, as between you and our content partners, our content partner’s policies shall
govern.

6.8 Training on the Platform in the interest of competitors is prohibited


The key goal of providing the access to our training program is to promote our future
cooperation. In case we reveal that your application to register on the Platform and
performance of a training program is made intentionally for the purpose of providing any
