5. GSP usage
AHMT assumes no responsibility for incorrect information collected from any of the GSPs registered
on the website: athenahm.com / mobile app; any delay, changes in his/her schedule, strikes, injury,
weather, fire, theft, quarantine, medical or customs regulations and similar act or incident beyond its
ability to control. AHMT is not responsible for any arrangements made between you and the GSP in
the country you visit.
6. Pricing Terms and Conditions
This section relates only to booking a GSP on the website: athenahm.com / mobile app. Pricing is
set by the GSP directly and not by AHMT. The GSP can choose a base currency of payment in MYR
as of now. We will consider accepting SGD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD or USD in future. All transactions
must be paid in full once the booking is confirmed through AHMT’s payment system.
7. Payment
Here’s how AHMT processes payments:

 1) AHMT charges Travelers when the reservation is confirmed.

 2) AHMT proceeds with a payout to the corresponding GSP 5 working days after the
Traveler receives the mentioned service.

Using AHMT’s payment system is required to make a reservation, and it helps ensure that both
parties are protected under our Terms of Service, cancellation policies and Traveler Refund Policy.
Payouts to GSP
To check the status of your payout, visit your Transaction History. Once AHMT has sent your
payout, a “Payout” notification item appears for that reservation. It may take up to a week for your
payment processor to complete the transaction after AHMT releases the funds.
Payments from Travelers
You’ll be charged for the total cost of your reservation when it’s confirmed. Reservation requests are
confirmed when they’re accepted by the corresponding GSP.
8. What will my GSP payout be?
Your payout will be the listing price minus the 20% commission fee. Your Traveler pays the cost of
your listing in addition to a fixed Admin fee (determined by the Traveler’s nationality). Example: Your
tour is listed as RM500 + RM10 Admin fee (Total Cost: RM510), as the GSP, you will get a payout of
RM400, AHMT will retain the RM100 commission and the Admin Fee of RM10.
Here are some common things that may impact the amount of your payout:

 Our system only processes whole numbers and rounds to the nearest whole value.
 Depending on the country of residence of the GSP or the Traveler, VAT on the service fees
may be included as an additional amount over and above the total AHMT service fee.

To change the price of an accepted reservation, you will need to change the reservation with your
Traveler.
9. Traveler Refund Policy
All GSPs listed on the AHMT platform should meet minimum quality standards regarding safety,
access, and customer satisfaction, and they should be consistent with the description provided by
said GSP in their online profile at: athenahm.com. If a Traveler who books and pays for a Tour or a
Travel Guide Service suffers a 'Travel Issue' because the Service does not meet AHMT standards,
the Traveler may be eligible for a refund in accordance with the Traveler Refund Policy and the
corresponding GSP will be penalised to the extent of the cost incurred by the Traveler.
AHMT will (at our discretion) either provide the Traveler with a refund or use reasonable efforts to
find and book the Traveler at another comparable GSP for any unused credits left in the reservation.
The amount of any refund will depend on the nature of the Travel Issue suffered.
A valid 'Travel Issue' generally falls into three categories, (1) the GSP cancels a reservation 72 hours
or less before the scheduled start of the reservation, or fails to provide the Traveler services, (2) the
description of the Travel Guide Service in the listing on the Site / Mobile App is materially different
from the actual Service (such as the Language, Car Type etc.), or (3) the GSP did not show up as
requested.
To submit a valid claim for a refund, a Traveler is required (a) to bring the Travel Issue to our
attention within 24 hours after the start of your reservation (including photographs or other evidence)
and respond to our requests for information or cooperation, (b) not have directly or indirectly caused
the Travel Issue and (c) to have used reasonable efforts to try to remedy the circumstances of the
Travel Issue with the GSP prior to making a claim for a Travel Issue.
10. What is a cancellation policy?
Cancellation policies are the conditions under which a GSP will return (or doesn’t return) money to a
Traveler if the Traveler cancels the reservation. Athena HM enforces these policies to protect both
Traveler and GSP alike.
Cancellation policy
Each listing on AHMT has the same cancellation policy in which Travelers will be able to get a full
refund 1 day prior of arrival. Travelers must agree to the GSP's cancellation policy when submitting a
reservation request.
Traveler cancellation
For accepted reservations, the cancellation policy is in your itinerary. Travelers who cancel their
reservation are refunded according to below:
  The AHMT service fee is non-refundable.
 If there is a complaint from either party, notice must be given to AHMT within 24 hours of
arrival.
 AHMT will mediate when necessary, and has the final say in all disputes.
 A reservation is officially canceled when the traveler clicks the cancellation button on the
cancellation confirmation page, which they can find in Dashboard > Your Trips > Change
or Cancel.
 Cancellation policies may be superseded by the Traveler Refund Policy, safety cancellations,
or extenuating circumstances. Please review these exceptions.
 Applicable taxes will be retained and remitted.

GSP cancellation
If a GSP needs to cancel a reservation, Travelers can choose to rebook with another GSP or to be
fully refunded.
11. How do the cancellation penalties work?
Because cancellations can have serious implications on a Traveler's trip, there are penalties that will
be applied for all GSP cancellations.
Cancellation fees
If you cancel any reservation within 7 days of check-in, you'll be charged a RM100 fee per
cancellation. Additionally, if you cancel any reservation within a six-month period, you'll be charged
RM50 per cancellation.
We'll automatically deduct any applicable cancellation fees from your next payout.
Automated review
An automated review will be posted to your listing's profile indicating that you canceled one of your
reservations. We encourage you to publicly respond to clarify why you needed to cancel.
