15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It is part of your contract with TravelBank and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
- Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Agreement or the use of any product or service provided by TravelBank that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of thisArbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed, all arbitration proceedings shall be held inEnglish. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and TravelBank, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized Users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under theAgreement.
- Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to TravelBank should be emailed to: legal@travelbank.com or a physical copy sent to:Attn: Legal Department
Travelator Inc
1100 Sullivan Ave
Suite #838
Daly City, CA 94017After the Notice is received, you and TravelBank may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and TravelBank do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled. - Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this Section 19(vii). IfJAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider.The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of theStreamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of theComprehensive 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 callingJAMS at 800-352-5267. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S.Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearing. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that TravelBank made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, TravelBank will pay you the greater of the award or $5,000. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.
- Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance-based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
- Time Limits. If you or TravelBank pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the applicable JAMS Rules for the pertinent claim.
- Authority of Arbitrator. If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and TravelBank, and the dispute 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 JAMS Rules, and the 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 TravelBank.
- Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this ArbitrationAgreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and TravelBank in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND TravelBank WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO AJURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
- Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OFTHIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
- Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
- Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
- Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement maybe waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.
- Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with TravelBank.
- Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or TravelBank may bring an individual action in small claims court.
- Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.
- Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
- Courts. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within San Francisco, California for such purpose.
- Governing Law and Jurisdiction. The Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of California, consistent with the FederalArbitration Act, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale ofGoods does not apply to the Agreement.
- Attorney’s Fees, Costs, and Expenses of Suit.

In the event, however, that a Service is listed or provided to us at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to typographical error or other error in pricing or service information received from a Travel Service Supplier, we retain the right to refuse or cancel any Reservation placed for such Travel Service, whether or not the order has been confirmed and/or your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your Reservation is canceled because of incorrect hotel, airline, or car provider information, we will promptly issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge.
- We expressly reserve the right to correct any pricing errors on our App and/or on pending reservations made under an incorrect price. In such event, if available, we will offer you the opportunity to keep your pending reservation at the correct price or we will cancel your reservation without penalty.
- Our prices are contractual tariffs. No claim relating to the price of a Trip will be considered once the reservation is effective. All prices are quoted in US dollars (USD) unless otherwise denoted. Rates for Travel Services are based on tariffs and exchange rates in effect at the time of posting and are subject to change prior to departure. Substantial changes in tariffs, exchange rates, the price of fuel, Services and labor sometimes increase the cost of TravelService arrangements significantly.
4. Cancellation, Substitution, and Alteration Policies.
- Cancellations or Modifications attributable to Traveler: Cancellation, substitution, and/or alteration terms vary by Supplier. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the terms of your Supplier prior to purchase, so we urge you to read them carefully.
- Cancellations and/or Alterations not attributable to Traveler: Due to Force Majeure or supplier requests, changes and/or cancellations may need to be made to confirmed bookings. While we always endeavor to avoid changes and cancellations, we must reserve the right to do so and to substitute alternative arrangements of comparable monetary value. TravelBank reserves the right to adjust the Travel Service or change the modes of ground and air travel, change the quality of accommodations or otherwise change the Travel Service without prior notice. We accept no liability for loss of enjoyment as a result of these changes. Any additional charges incurred arising from the postponement, delay or extension of a Trip or adjustment to the itinerary due to Force Majeure will be the Traveler’s responsibility.TravelBank will attempt to provide Traveler advanced notice of any changes to a Trip orServices to the extent commercially possible.
5. Issuing Travel Documents. Travel documents will only be sent to the purchasing Traveler who places the order and personally agrees to these Terms and Conditions. Should you change your email address, phone number, or address before your departure date, you are required to advise us of the change. If a Traveler provides incorrect information to TravelBank, we do not assume any liability if the Trip is adversely affected or made impossible by the non-receipt of travel documents.
6. Travelers with Special Needs or Disabilities. If you have special needs (e.g., wheelchair accessible room, traveling with seeing eye dog, etc.) you must call all relevant Suppliers for yourTrip ahead of time and verify that special needs can be met. Depending on their terms and conditions, your reservation may be refunded, canceled or modified if special handicapped needs cannot be met. TravelBank make no guarantee as to the ability of any Travel Supplier to meet the special needs of disabled clients.
7. Insurance. Should you have to cancel your Trip because of illness, injury or death to you or an immediate family member, depending on the type of coverage purchased, Trip cancellation insurance may protect some or all deposits and payments for both air and Trip costs. Trip cancellation and interruption penalties can be significant. Purchasing Trip cancellation insurance at a much later date may limit some of the coverage as to pre-existing or other conditions. It isTraveler’s responsibility to understand the limitations of their insurance coverage and purchase additional insurance as needed. It is the Traveler’s sole responsibility to research, evaluate and purchase appropriate coverage. Traveler agrees that TravelBank is not responsible for any uninsured losses.

- You must carefully observe all applicable formalities and ensure that the surnames and forenames used for all passengers when making a booking and appearing in your travel documents (booking forms, travel tickets, vouchers, etc.), correspond exactly with those appearing on your passport, visas, etc.
- Immunization requirements vary from country to country and even region to region. Up-to date information should be obtained from your local health department and consulate.

- “Accommodations” are any lodgings in a dwelling or similar living quarters afforded toTravelers including, but not limited to, hotels, short term apartment, room or couch shares, motels, and resorts. TravelBank provides the accommodations for its Trips through third-party Suppliers and retains no ownership or management interest in those Accommodations.TravelBank does not guarantee the location or the amenities of the Accommodations nor the performance of the third-party Supplier. If any issues arise, please contact the owner/operators of the respective Accommodations directly.
- Accommodations and living standards may vary from country to country and region to region. TravelBank makes no guarantees about Accommodation living standards. Any additional costs, i.e. upgrades etc., will be borne by the Traveler.
- Prices of Accommodations are based on double occupancy unless described otherwise. If you prefer single Accommodations, some Accommodations require you to pay a single supplement fee which can vary depending on the Accommodation.
10. Air Transport.
- General: TravelBank’ responsibilities in respect to air travel are limited by the relevant airline’sContract of Carriage. All airlines’ Contracts of Carriage are available for view publicly on their websites and at their office branches. TravelBank is not able to specify the type of aircraft to be used by any airline or guarantee seat assignments. In addition, TravelBank is not responsible for losses due to cancelled flights, seats, or changed flight itineraries. Airlines retain the right to adjust flight times and schedules at any time, and these changes may include a change in the airline you fly, your aircraft type or destination. Such alterations do not constitute a significant change to your Trip Itinerary. If an airline cancels or delays a flight, you should work with the airline to ensure you arrive at your destination on or ahead of time. TravelBank will not provide any refund for Trips missed, in part or full, due to missed, cancelled or delayed flights, or other flight irregularities including, without limitation, denied boarding whether or not you are responsible for such denial. Airline flights may be overbooked. A person denied boarding on a flight may be entitled to a compensatory payment or other benefits from the airline. The rules for denied boarding are available at all ticket counters in your Contract of Carriage. The airline fulfilling your reservation may change from the airline displayed on our website.
- Flight Times: The flight times given by TravelBank are for general guidance only and are subject to change. Up-to-date flight times will be shown on the tickets. Traveler must check the tickets very carefully immediately upon receipt of the latest timings.
- Failure to Check-in on the outward journey (on a charter or scheduled flight) will automatically result in cancellation of the return flight by the airline. We would encourage you to contact uson the date of departure if you wish us to keep the return flight open; this decision remains atthe discretion of the airline company.
- Flight Connections: If any booked flight connecting with your outbound or inbound flight is cancelled or delayed, the airlines reserve the right to provide that transport by any other means (coach/bus, train, etc.). If you organize your own connecting transport with the arrangements booked with TravelBank, we would advise that you reserve flexible or refundable tickets in order to avoid the risk of any financial loss. You are also advised not to make any important appointments for the day following your return date. TravelBank cannot accept responsibility for the consequences of delays (such as a cancelled scheduled flight) in the context of connecting transport organized by you.
- Non-Use of Flight Segments: You agree not to purchase a ticket or tickets containing flight segments that you will not be using, such as a “point-beyond”, “hidden-city”, or “back-to-back tickets”. You further agree not to purchase a round-trip ticket that you plan to use only for one-way travel. You acknowledge that the airlines generally prohibit all such tickets, and therefore we do not guarantee that the airline will honor your ticket or tickets. You agree to indemnify TravelBank against any airline claims for the difference between the full fare of your actual itinerary and the value of the ticket or tickets that you purchased.
- Luggage: TravelBank assumes no liability for any loss or damage to baggage or personal effects, whether in transit to or from a Trip, or during a Trip. The airline is liable to you for the baggage you entrust to it only for the compensation contemplated in the international conventions and relevant statutes. In the event of damage, late forwarding, theft or loss of luggage, you should contact the your airline and declare the damage, absence or loss of your personal effects before leaving the airport, and then submit a declaration, attaching the originals of the following documents: the travel ticket, the baggage check-in slip, and the declaration. It is recommended that you take out an insurance policy covering the value of your items.
- Additional and oversized baggage fees: Most airlines have their own policy regarding luggage. We recommend that you check with your airline ahead of time for any weight restrictions and additional charges relating to checked baggage. You will be responsible for paying to the airline any additional charges for checked or overweight baggage, including, but not limited to, golf bags and oversized luggage. If you exceed the weight limit set by your airline, and excess weight is permitted, you must pay a supplement directly to the airline at the airport.
- Carriage of Hazardous Material: Federal law forbids the carriage of hazardous materials aboard aircraft in your luggage or on your person. A violation can result in five years’ imprisonment and penalties of $250,000 or more. Hazardous materials include explosives, compressed gases, flammable liquids and solids, oxidizers, poisons, corrosives and radioactive materials. Examples: Paints, lighter fluid, fireworks, tear gases, oxygen bottles, and radio-pharmaceuticals. There are special exceptions for small quantities (up to 70ounces total) of medicinal and toilet articles carried in your luggage and certain smoking materials carried on your person.
- Pregnancy: Different airlines have their own restrictions on when pregnant woman may fly on their plane, which can range from prohibiting flying anywhere from 7 to 30 days by the due date. It is your responsibility to check the restrictions of your particular airline. If you are denied boarding, TravelBank will not be responsible for any resulting cancellation fees and charges.
- Stop-Overs: Direct flights may be “non-stop” or may involve one or more stop-overs (in the latter case this means the same flight by the airline, because the flight number remains the same). The same applies to connecting flights that may be subject to crew changes. When you reserve a scheduled or charter flight involving a stop-over in a town, and the second flight takes off from a different airport to the airport of arrival, ensure that you have sufficient time for reaching the second airport. The journey to the other airport is at your own expense. TravelBank will not be able to reimburse you for these costs, nor will it be liable if you miss the second flight.
- Issuance of e-tickets: As of June 1st, 2008, the International Air Transport Association (IATA)has imposed new rules with regard to the issuing of air travel tickets. As of that date, travel agencies and airlines have an obligation to only issue travel tickets via electronic means (i.e.electronic ticket or “e-ticket”). Due to technical constraints to do with airline’s restrictions in relation to certain requirements (infants under the age of 2, inter-airline agreements, groups, etc.), it may be impossible to issue an electronic ticket. Therefore, though a flight may be shown as available, it might prove impossible for us to honor your reservation. This situation, which is outside our control, will not result in liability on our part. If we cannot issue you an e-ticket, we will contact you to propose an alternative route solution. This could involve a different tariff and/or additional costs for which you would be responsible. In the event of the absence of an alternative solution, your refusal to pay any tariff difference, or if the issuance of tickets proves impossible, we would be forced to cancel your reservation at no cost to you.We will provide you with a full refund within 30 days after determining that there is no alternative solution possible.
