Subscriptions
Some parts of the Service may be billed on a subscription basis ("Subscription(s)"). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis ("Billing Cycle"). Billing cycles are set either on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription.
At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it or Lost Corporation cancels it. You may cancel your Subscription renewal either through your online account management page or by contacting Lost Corporation customer support team.
A valid payment method, including credit card, is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall provide Lost Corporation with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and a valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize Lost Corporation to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments.
Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, Lost Corporation will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice.
Free Trial
Lost Corporation may, at its sole discretion, offer a Subscription with a free trial for a limited period of time ("Free Trial").
You may be required to enter your billing information in order to sign up for the Free Trial.
If you do enter your billing information when signing up for the Free Trial, you will not be charged by Lost Corporation until the Free Trial has expired. On the last day of the Free Trial period, unless you cancelled your Lost Corporation, you will be automatically charged the applicable Subscription fees for the type of Subscription you have selected.
At any time and without notice, Lost Corporation reserves the right to (i) modify the terms and conditions of the Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer.
Fee Changes
Lost Corporation, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees for the Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle.
Lost Corporation will provide you with a reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective.
Your continued use of the Service after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.
Refunds
Certain refund requests for Subscriptions may be considered by Lost Corporation on a case-by-case basis and granted in sole discretion of Lost Corporation.

Appendix: Data Processing Terms
Effective: August 21, 2026 · Part of the Terms of Service
This Appendix (the "Data Processing Terms" or "DPA") forms part of the Terms of Service between Lost Corporation dba Wayward ("Wayward", the "Processor") and the customer operating a brand on the Service (the "Customer", the "Controller"), and governs Wayward's processing of Guest Data on the Customer's behalf.
1. Roles and scope
The Customer is the controller of Guest Data; Wayward is the processor. "Guest Data" means personal data of the Customer's guests, participants, and prospects processed through the Service (bookings, waitlist entries, waiver signatures, form submissions, contact records, and trip communications), as described in Annex A. This DPA applies for as long as Wayward processes Guest Data for the Customer.
2. Processing on instructions
Wayward processes Guest Data only on the Customer's documented instructions (given through the Service's features and settings, the Terms, and this DPA) unless required to do otherwise by law, in which case Wayward will inform the Customer before processing unless the law prohibits it. Wayward does not use Guest Data for its own marketing, does not sell it, and does not share one Customer's Guest Data with any other customer.
3. Confidentiality
Wayward ensures that persons authorised to process Guest Data are bound by confidentiality obligations and access it only as needed to operate, support, and secure the Service.
4. Security
Wayward implements and maintains appropriate technical and organisational measures as described in Annex B, and may update them provided the overall level of protection does not materially decrease.
5. Sub-processors
The Customer grants general authorisation for the sub-processors listed in Annex C. Wayward will give at least 30 days' notice before adding or replacing a sub-processor, by updating Annex C and providing notice in the console; the Customer may object on reasonable data-protection grounds, and if no resolution is found may terminate the affected part of the Service. Wayward imposes data-protection obligations on each sub-processor materially equivalent to this DPA.
6. Assistance with data subject rights
Taking into account the nature of the processing, Wayward assists the Customer in responding to data subject requests, primarily through the Service's own features for exporting and erasing a guest's data, and otherwise with reasonable assistance on request. If a data subject contacts Wayward directly about Guest Data, Wayward will refer them to the Customer.
7. Personal data breach
Wayward will notify the Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of a personal data breach affecting Guest Data, providing the information reasonably available at the time (nature, categories and approximate volumes affected, likely consequences, and measures taken) and will supplement it as the investigation progresses. Wayward will reasonably assist the Customer with the Customer's own notification obligations.
8. Retention, deletion, and return
During the term, Guest Data is retained per the Customer's use of the Service and the retention schedule in Annex A. Upon termination of the Customer's account, Wayward will delete Guest Data within a reasonable time after a written request (or return it via export first, on request), except where law requires retention, in which case the data remains protected under this DPA and is deleted when the requirement lapses. Deleted data ages out of backups on the normal backup rotation cycle.
9. Special categories
The Service allows the Customer to collect health-related information (for example dietary requirements and medical notes) where the Customer needs it for the safety of an experience. The Customer is responsible for having a valid legal basis under applicable data protection law, normally the guest's explicit consent, before collecting it. Wayward protects such data in accordance with Annex B.
10. Audits and information
Wayward will make available information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with its obligations as a processor under applicable data protection law, including this DPA, the Annexes, and summaries of relevant security measures. Where applicable law entitles the Customer to an audit beyond that information, Wayward will allow for and contribute to it no more than once per year, on reasonable notice, at the Customer's expense, during business hours, and in a manner that does not compromise other customers' data or Wayward's security.
11. International transfers
Guest Data is processed in the United States. Where Guest Data originates from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, the parties rely on the Standard Contractual Clauses (Module 2, controller-to-processor), which are incorporated by reference with the details in the Annexes, alongside each sub-processor's applicable transfer mechanism.
12. General
This DPA is subject to the limitations and exclusions of liability set out in the Terms of Service, which apply to Wayward's liability under this DPA in aggregate with its liability under the Terms. This DPA replaces any prior data-processing terms between the parties and lasts as long as Wayward processes Guest Data for the Customer.
