Our failure to exercise any right or enforce any obligation under these Terms or to take action with respect to a breach by you or others will not constitute a waiver of such right, obligation or breach. The waiver of any right, obligation or breach will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of  Hotel International. In addition, no waiver granted in any instance shall constitute a waiver in any other instance.

These Terms, including these General Terms and Conditions of Use, our Privacy Policy, and any and all applicable Site Rules, constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Hotel International regarding your access to and use of the Site, including the Services, and supersede and replace any and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written understandings or agreements between you and Hotel International and regarding the subject matter hereof.

Article 18: Governing law and dispute resolution

18.1. Governing law

THESE TERMS AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANY USER AND HOTEL INTERNATIONAL ARE GOVERNED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES.

18.2. Dispute resolution

Our customer service department can resolve most customer concern quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction. Please contact our customer support at the following address: [email protected] 

In the event that you’re not satisfied with customer service’s solution (or if we have not been able to resolve a dispute we have with you after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction.

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Unless expressly limited by this Dispute Resolution provision, arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. In arbitration you are entitled to recover attorneys’ fees from us to at least the same extent as you would be in court.

You and we agree to arbitrate all Disputes (as defined below) between us, except for claims arising from bodily injury or that pertain to enforcing, protecting, or the validity of your or our intellectual property rights (or the intellectual property rights of any of our licensors, affiliates and partners). This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to:

  • claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, fraud, misrepresentation or any other statutory or common-law legal theory;
  • claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);
  • claims for mental or emotional distress or injury not arising out of physical bodily injury;
  • claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and
  • claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.

References to “we,” “our,” and “us” (unless the context requires otherwise) include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, licensees, licensors, and providers of content as of the time your or our claim arises; our respective predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns; and all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of Services under this or prior agreements between us. You agree that you and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. These Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.

A Party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to us should be sent by email to:  [email protected]. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If we and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by us or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or us is entitled.

The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this arbitration provision, and will be administered by the AAA. (If the AAA is unavailable, another arbitration provider shall be selected by the Parties or by the court.) The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by requesting them in writing. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision or whether a dispute can or must be brought in arbitration are for the court to decide. The arbitrator may consider but shall not be bound by rulings in other arbitrations involving different individuals. Any arbitration hearings will take place in Miami, Florida before a single neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the AAA Rules and shall be conducted in the English language. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, class, or private attorney general proceeding. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, any of these prohibitions on non-individualized declaratory or injunctive relief; class, representative, and private attorney general claims; and consolidation are found to be unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or with respect to a particular request for relief (such as a request for injunctive relief sought with respect to a particular claim), then that claim or request for relief shall be severed, and all other claims and requests for relief shall be arbitrated.

Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future change to this arbitration provision during your use of the Site, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this provision.

18.3. Jurisdiction and venue

Subject to the above arbitration provisions, you and Hotel International agree that any and all disputes, claims and actions, at law or in equity, arising out of or relating to or in connection with the Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or to the use of the Site (collectively, “Disputes”) must be resolved exclusively by a court located in Miami, Florida, and each of us agrees that such courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any such actions. You consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in such courts and waive any objection as to inconvenient forum.

18.4. Prohibition of class and representative actions and non-individualized relief

YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST HOTEL INTERNATIONAL ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW. FURTHER, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND  HOTEL INTERNATIONAL OTHERWISE AGREE IN WRITING, THE COURT MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

18.4. Future amendments to this article

Both of us agree that if we many any amendment to this Article 18 (other than an amendment to any notice address or site link provided herein) in the future, that amendment will not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against us prior to the effective date of the amendment. However, the amendment will apply to all other disputes or claims governed by this article that have arisen or may arise between you and Hotel International. We will notify you of amendments to this article by posting the amended Terms. If you do not agree to the amended terms, you may close your account within 30 days and you will not be bound by the amended dispute resolution terms. If you do not have an account (or once you have closed your account, if applicable), you must cease using the Site immediately. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Hotel International in accordance with the provisions of the “Dispute Resolution” article as of the latest Terms you accepted.
