To the extent we have the authority to do so, we reserve the right (but do not have the obligation) to correct any errors or mistakes made by our service providers even if payment has already been received by you, though we are not responsible for errors by our ecommerce gateway or other service providers, and any recourse you wish to seek which relates to any such error shall be directly to such third parties. We also may cancel any order that was based on erroneous information (e.g., incorrect dates or price). Further, we may refuse to sell to you for any reason (as determined by us in our sole discretion) given your past history, if we suspect abuse or fraud, or for any other reason. You will use all Services for their intended use only.

3.2 Orders. You may purchase the Services through the Website or through a phone order with our trained phone staff. We offer you many different options which you can select in ordering the Services, sourced by Expedia through the Website, a third party website redirected to by us, or by phone with us (each, an “Order” and collectively, “Orders”). Your affirmative approval of any such confirmation of each Order is final and cannot be reversed by us without your incurring the applicable cancellation charge as is described at your time of purchase in the terms and conditions described for such an Order. Except for any contrary ancillary terms expressly provided at the time of an Order, all Orders submitted through the Website, or over the phone and confirmed by you, are FINAL, so please be very careful to inspect the details of each Order before you make a purchase.

3.3 Payments. Your request for us to charge your credit card by providing your credit card information to us or to our ecommerce gateway, to Expedia or to another service provider, indicates your express authorization for us (or such third party) to charge your credit card for the associated purchase requested by you.

Again, you are fully responsible for all charges made under your Account or otherwise in your name, and you will pay us all fees associated with any reversal of any purchase by you. Your credit card payment may be rejected if we (or a third party working on our behalf) detect the presence of certain fraud indicators. Whether a credit card is accepted or rejected is not always determined by information provided by the cardholder, and we apologize for any inconvenience for Orders where a credit card payment is not possible. Please note that there are certain non-refundable deposits which apply to our Orders, and this issue is described on the page or pages containing each Order.

The offer of any of the Services made through the Website or otherwise is void where prohibited.

15. Governing Law; Arbitration; NO CLASS CLAIMS; TIMELY FILING OF CLAIMS.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding New York’s choice-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement and/or any contacts between you and Group Travels (including, but not limited to, email, telephone calls, and text messages), or any other such other understanding or arrangement, including without limitation regarding any breach hereunder, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (“CAB”), and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration will be conducted in New York, NY by an arbitrator with applicable industry expertise in online travel industry, who shall be named in accordance with such rules. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on you and us, without a right of appeal, and all information concerning such arbitration proceedings including without limitation all evidence and materials submitted by you and/or us shall be deemed to be confidential information and shall not be made public by you or any person on your behalf or for your interest (and any submission made to any court as part of such a proceeding shall be made under seal if permissible). However, if the AAA refuses to hear the arbitration under the CAB, the parties agree to have the arbitration conducted by a private professional arbitrator reasonably agreed upon by the parties according to rules and procedures which closely resemble the CAB (as determined by such arbitrator). If either party sues the other party and loses the claim which was the subject of such a suit, then the non-prevailing party shall pay the prevailing party’s costs and expenses, including but not limited to the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees. NO ARBITRATION OR CLAIM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, AND NO CLASS ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE PERMITTED. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief or enforcement of this arbitration provision, without breach of this arbitration provision. YOU AGREE THAT REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY CLAIM THAT YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST ANY OF THE GROUP TRAVELS PARTIES WHICH ARISES OUT OF OR IS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE OR PURCHASE OF ANY SERVICES MUST BE FILED BY YOU PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 15 WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE OR IS CLAIMED TO HAVE ARISEN.

16. Assignment.

You shall not resell or assign any of your rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement and any attempted assignment or delegation will be void and of no force or effect whatsoever. This Agreement may be automatically assigned by Group Travels, in our sole discretion, to a third party, and such an assignment will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns and/or licensees. Without limitation of the foregoing, we may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of our assets, including without limitation your PII, with any parent company, subsidiary, joint venture, and a company under our common control, as well as with a potential acquirer, including without limitation in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy. In each such an event, the PII we have collected from you may be one of the assets transferred.

17. No Waiver.

Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to a subsequent or similar breach or breaches. If Group Travels does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in this Agreement (or which Group Travels has the benefit of under any applicable law or regulation), such action or inaction shall not be taken to be a formal waiver of Group Travels’ rights, and all such rights or remedies shall still be available to Group Travels.

8. Force Majeure.

The failure or delay of Group Travels in performing any of our obligations under this Agreement shall be excused (and Group Travels shall not be deemed to have breached this Agreement) if such failure or delay is a result of any of the following: (a) any act or omission of yours, (b) the unavailability of any of the Services or any services upon which any of the Services rely, or (c) any event which prevents or delays the performance by us of any of our obligations, or which prevents any third party upon which we rely to perform any of its obligations, whether by reason of any (i) act of God, (ii) flood, fire, earthquake, or like natural disaster, (iii) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil disturbance or unrest, civil commotion, acts of public enemies, public agitation, or sabotage, (iv) epidemics or pandemics (even if such circumstances might be deemed to be foreseeable), (v) widespread Internet, communications or electrical outages, (vi) actions, embargoes or blockades, (vii) acts or orders of government or authorities, rules and regulations, or any delay or abandonment due to any order of any court of applicable jurisdiction, (viii) national or regional emergency, (ix) strikes, labor stoppages, lock-outs, slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, and (x) any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Group Travels.
