  2. Advertising Revenue.  GC reserves the right to display Third-Party Ads before, after, or in conjunction with User Content posted on the Services, and you acknowledge and agree that GC has no obligation to you in connection therewith (including, without limitation, any obligation to share revenue received by GC as a result of such advertising).

PRICES CHANGE CONSTANTLY AND ADDITIONAL CHARGES (E.G., PAYMENT FEES, SERVICES CHARGES, CHECKED-IN LUGGAGE FEES, LOCAL TAXES AND FEES) MAY APPLY, SO YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK WHETHER THE PRICE ASKED FOR A BOOKING IS THE ONE YOU EXPECTED. SOME TRAVEL PRODUCTS MAY ALSO BE SOLD IN ANOTHER CURRENCY THAN THE ONE PRESET OR CHOSEN BY YOU FOR THE DISPLAY OF THE SEARCH RESULTS. ANY CURRENCY CONVERSION INCLUDED VIA THE SERVICES IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON AS ACCURATE OR REAL-TIME; ACTUAL RATES MAY VARY.

  2. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.  Please read the following arbitration agreement in this section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully.  It requires U.S. users to arbitrate disputes with GC and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us. If you are not based in the United States, please see Section 18.6 for more information related to dispute resolution.
  1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute, claim, or request for relief relating in any way to your access or use of the Website, to any products sold or distributed through the Website, or to any aspect of your relationship with GC, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (a) you may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if your claims qualify,; and (b) you or GC may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents).  This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all disputes or claims and requests for relief that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.  
  2. Arbitration Rules and Forum.  The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.  To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your dispute or claim or request for relief to our registered agent 5415 Lawndale St #230101 Houston, Texas 77223.  The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider.  Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or request for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other disputes shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/.  JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267.  If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum.  You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location.  Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
  3. Authority of Arbitrator.  The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable.  The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and GC.  The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties.  The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded.  The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have.  The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. 
  4. Waiver of Jury Trial.  YOU AND GC HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY.  You and GC are instead electing that all disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 16.1 (Application of Arbitration Agreement) above.  An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would.  However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.  
  5. Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief.  ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.  If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this section’s limitations as to a given dispute, claim, or request for relief, then such aspect must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of New York.  All other disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be arbitrated.  
  6. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: legal@getawayclub.com within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement.  Your notice must include your name and address, your GC username (if any), the email address you used to set up your GC account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement.

Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
  7. Severability. Except as provided in Section 16.5 (Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
  8. Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with GC.
  9. Modification.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if GC makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing GC at the following address: The Getaway Club: 5415 Lawndale St #230101 Houston, Texas 77223, Attn: Legal.
