ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES CONCERING, RELATING, REFERRING TO, OR ARISING OUT OF, THE SITE, ANY TRAVEL SERVICES OR OTHER SERVICES OFFERED AND SOLD THROUGH THE SITE, OR PRIVACY POLICY, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED THROUGH JAMS, RATHER THAN IN COURT, except that you or we may bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement and any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. 

The arbitration shall be governed JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“the “JAMS Rules”), as modified by this agreement and administered by JAMS. JAMS Rules are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/ or by calling JAMS at +1 (800) 352 5267.   If you initiate arbitration proceedings against Fareness in an amount not to exceed $75,000 (and definitively waving any right to recover in excess of that amount), the only fee you shall be required to pay directly to JAMS is US$250 (which is comparable with a court filing fee); all other costs payable directly to JAMS will be borne by the Company.

You and Fareness agree to the following arbitration rules, which JAMS must observe:

1.     The arbitration proceeding shall be conducted by a single arbitrator if the claimant seeks an amount not to exceed $75,000 (and definitively waives any right to recover in excess of that amount). The arbitration proceeding otherwise shall be conducted by three arbitrators. The proceeding shall be conducted in San Francisco county, California by arbitrator(s) who is/are approved by, or otherwise affiliated with, JAMS, and has experience in the travel industry.

2.     Except for a claim relating to or arising out of a violation of, or interference with, its intellectual property rights (including, without limitation, proprietary information, trade secrets, brand, and goodwill), the arbitrator may not award any punitive or exemplary damages, or any incidental, indirect or consequential damages, including without limitation, damages for lost profits or loss of enjoyment, except where permitted by applicable law. The parties waive any rights to recover any such damages.

3.     For matters in which the claimant seeks an amount not to exceed $75,000 (and definitively waives any right to recover in excess of that amount), then the party initiating the arbitration may choose the form of how the arbitration can be conducted: via telephone, online, based exclusively on written submissions, or at an in-person hearing. However, if either party requests an in-person hearing, the arbitrator shall decide if a hearing is necessary or whether the arbitration shall proceed solely based on written submission, via telephone or online. If the arbitrator decides an in-person hearing is necessary, the hearing shall occur in a mutually agreed location, or, if unable to agree on a location, at a U.S. location selected by the arbitrator and which is reasonably convenient to you. Either party may participate at an in-person hearing by phone, unless the arbitrator decides otherwise.

4.     The arbitrator shall not consolidate or join more than one person’s Claims without the express written consent of all parties.

The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding and judgment may be entered thereon. The arbitrators may not decide issues related to the enforceability and the scope of this Mandatory Arbitration section, which are reserved for a court of competent jurisdiction. If Sub- Section (4) above is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the Mandatory Arbitration provision shall be null and void. If any other part of this Mandatory Arbitration provision (except sub-section (4) above) is found to be unenforceable, or otherwise conflicts with the JAMS Rules, then the unenforceable part of this provision shall be struck down and the balance of the provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with the remaining terms.   In the event a party fails to proceed with arbitration or improperly files a claim the other party is entitled of costs of suit including a reasonable attorney’s fee for having to compel arbitration.  

YOU RECOGNIZE THAT, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU AND FARENESS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION.

           i.               Itinerary Changes/Cancellations: Air travel itinerary changes, if permitted by the airline fare rules, may have a change fee charged by the airline that will vary by market, carrier and specific fare rule. In addition to any change fees charged by the airline, we charge a service fee of $30 per ticket for an air itinerary change. 

         ii.                         Baggage and Other Ancillary Airline Fees: The airlines may require you to pay additional fees at the airport for certain services and/ or if you exceed certain limits as dictated by the airline, such as the number of bags or weight allowed, and some airlines do not offer a free baggage allowance.  During the booking process, Fareness will provide a link to a static page where each airline’s baggage fees can be viewed on an “as available basis”, but each airline should be carefully consulted for complete information about its baggage and other ancillary fees.

2.         Prices. Payment methods.

All prices shown are in U.S. Dollars (USD) unless otherwise specified.

All prices at the time of booking are final and subject to change only by Travel Suppliers under special circumstances allowing such changes under applicable laws. Unless otherwise stated in the description of the offer, the following amounts will NOT be included as part of a Service’s advertised price (if applicable):

·       items of a personal nature such as incidentals, excess baggage charges

·       airport taxes/entrance fees, port charges, foreign government departure taxes

·       costs of Passports or Visas

·       inspection, customs, immigration and naturalization fees

·       travel insurance including health, accidents, lost baggage and Tour cancellation

·       early check-in and check-out

·       tips and gratuities

·       any other activities or items not explicitly advertised as included in the price of a Service in its description.

A booking fee between $0 USD and $30 USD is included in the displayed price of each airline ticket. This fee is per person.

Fareness accepts the payment methods listed on the payment page.

3.      Cancellations and Alterations Policies.

Most of our airline tickets offered online are non-refundable. Please carefully review the Fare Rules for each carrier involved in your itinerary to see if allows cancellation or changes to your itinerary.

Cancellations and itinerary changes attributable to Traveler:

All amounts paid by Traveler for Services shall be non-refundable, except when permitted under the hotel policies, contract of carriage and fare rules, as the case may be, of the involved Travel Services Supplier. When permitted by such airline fare rules, the airline may charge a cancellation or change fee for each ticket, depending on carrier and specific rules. The Fareness booking fee is always non-refundable, even if any other amounts for Services are refundable. Standard airline cancellation and change penalties may apply.

Administrative Fees for Alterations Attributable to Traveler:

Changes are subject to availability, and could alter the price of the entire Services in addition to our rebooking fee.  Any requested change to the original itinerary must be submitted to Fareness in writing.  This policy also applies to any available changes made or requested by Traveler while en route.

Cancellations and Alterations attributable to the Travel Service Provider:

In the unlikely event that a major change (involving a change of departure or return date, departure city or destination) becomes necessary, we will notify you as soon as possible and will try to substitute comparable Services.  In the event of complete cancellation by us, our only liability will be limited to a refund of all monies paid.  Fareness is not responsible for additional expenses incurred by Travelers in preparation or anticipation of their Services (medical expenses, insurance charges, international airfare, or any other expense).

California and Illinois Residents only:

Upon cancellation of the transportation or travel services, where the Traveler is not at fault and has not canceled in violation of any terms and conditions previously clearly and conspicuously disclosed and agreed to by the Traveler, all sums paid to the seller of travel for services not provided will be promptly paid to the Traveler, unless the Traveler advises the seller of travel in writing, after cancellation.  In California, this provision does not apply where the seller of travel has remitted the payment to another registered wholesale seller of travel or a carrier, without obtaining a refund, and where the wholesaler or provider defaults in providing the agreed-upon transportation or service.  In this situation, the seller of travel must provide the Traveler with a written statement accompanied by bank records establishing the disbursement of the payment, and if disbursed to a wholesale seller of travel, proof of current registration of that wholesaler.

VI.            Issuing Travel Documents. 

Immediately after booking, you will receive a confirmation email to confirm that we are processing your order. Once ticketed and confirmed, your travel itinerary will be sent to you electronically.

VII.          Passports and Visas for International Travel. 

It is Traveler’s responsibility to verify they have all the necessary visas, transit visas, passport, and vaccinations prior to travel.  A full and valid passport is required for all persons traveling to any of the destinations outside the U.S. that we feature.  You must obtain and have possession of a valid passport, all visas, permits and certificates, and vaccination certificates required for your entire trip.

Most international trips require a passport valid until at least six (6) months beyond the scheduled end of your itinerary.  Non-U.S. citizens should contact the appropriate consular office for any requirements pertaining to their tour.  Further information on entry requirements can be obtained from the State Department, by phone (202) 647-5335 or access online at http://travel.state.gov/travel or directly from the destination country's website.

Some countries require you to be in possession of a return ticket or exit ticket and have sufficient funds, in addition to other requirements.  Similarly, certain countries require that the Traveler produce evidence of insurance/repatriation coverage before it will issue a visa.

You must carefully observe all applicable formalities and ensure that the surnames, middle names and forenames used for all passengers when making a booking and appearing in your travel documents (for example: booking forms, travel tickets or vouchers), correspond exactly with those appearing on your passport, visas, or other travel documents.

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.  You assume complete and full responsibility for, and hereby release Fareness from, any duty of checking and verifying vaccination or other entry requirements of each destination, as well as all safety and security conditions of such destinations during the length of the proposed travel or extensions expected or unexpected. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet all health entry requirements, obtain the recommended inoculations, take all recommended medication, and follow all medical advice in relation to your trip.  For State Department information about conditions abroad that may affect travel safety and security, go to https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/alertswarnings.html, or contact them by phone at (202) 647-5335.  For foreign health requirements and dangers, contact the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) at (404) 332-4559, use their fax information service at (404) 332-4565, or go to http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel.  Other information relating to particular international destinations can be found at https://www.dot.govwww.tsa.govwww.faa.govwww.treas.gov/ofac, or www.cbp.gov.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you hold the correct, valid documents for the countries you are visiting and have obtained the necessary vaccinations, clearance to travel, and hold the necessary confirmations for medications required as we cannot be held liable for any illness, delays, compensation, claims and costs resulting from your failure to meet these requirements.

WE CANNOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU ARE REFUSED PASSAGE ON ANY AIRLINE, TRANSPORT OR ENTRY INTO ANY COUNTRY DUE TO THE FAILURE ON YOUR PART TO CARRY OR OBTAIN THE CORRECT DOCUMENTATION.  IF FAILURE TO DO SO RESULTS IN FINES, SURCHARGES, CLAIMS, FINANCIAL DEMANDS OR OTHER FINANCIAL PENALTIES BEING IMPOSED ON US, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INDEMNIFYING AND REIMBURSING US ACCORDINGLY.

VIII.         Travelers with Special Needs or Disabilities.

 If you have special needs (e.g., wheelchair accessible room, traveling with seeing eye dog, or some other special need) you must contact all relevant Service providers ahead of time and verify that those special needs can be met.  We make no guarantees as to the ability of Supplier to meet the special needs of disabled clients.

XXIV.     Subscription Fees

Fareness offers a premium feature set of the Services available for purchase as a monthly or yearly subscription ("Subscription"). Fareness describes the premium features within the app, and Fareness offers a trial period ("Trial") of 7 days during which you can use and preview the premium services without incurring a fee, as long as you cancel the Subscription prior to the end of the trial, via your App Provider (for instance, via the subscriptions management screen in iOS). When you purchase a Subscription, we may ask for various information including credit card details. You warrant that you have the legal right to use the payment methods provided, and you authorize us to provide your payment information to a third party service provider to complete the transaction for the Subscription Service. You agree to pay the applicable Subscription fee, any other applicable fees and taxes. You authorize Fareness to charge your account with the App Store or other distribution platform where Fareness is made available, and you agree to accept any additional charges that your App Provider or bank may levy on you as well as any applicable taxes or fees that may apply. Your Subscription will not be active until your payment is accepted by Fareness. Payments for Subscriptions are non-refundable and non-transferable.

In the event that you have any questions or concerns about charges, you agree to raise them with Fairness initially and not to cancel or refuse to make any credit card or App Store payment until you have first resolved all reasonable efforts to communicate with Fareness directly.

Fareness reserves the right to reject any order for Subscription Services in the event that your payment method is declined, fraudulent, or otherwise in its sole discretion. Fareness may reach out to you to seek additional information, such as a billing zip code or other data, in order to verify the authenticity of your purchase, to protect your card and purchase data from misuse.

XXV.     Subscriptions Automatically Renew Until Cancelled

After the end of our Trial offer, if you have not yet cancelled the Fareness Subscription Service, you will be charged for the Subscription Service at the price disclosed to you upon acceptance of the Trial offer, and you will be charged again at the end of each subscription term thereafter until you cancel. You must cancel your Subscription before it renews to avoid being charged the fees for the next Subscription term. If you purchased the Subscription via an App Provider (such as the App Store), you can cancel your Subscription at any time. In such event, you will not receive a refund, pro rata or otherwise, for amounts already paid for the Subscription, but your Subscription renewal will be set to off and your access to the Subscription Services will continue until the end of the term of your current paid Subscription period.

XXVI.     Changes to Pricing for Subscriptions

Fareness reserves the right to modify the pricing for its Subscriptions at any time at its sole discretion and in such an event, Fareness will notify you prior to any such changes taking effect. Any changes to Fareness' Subscription pricing will not apply retroactively, and only for Subscription renewals after Fareness has delivered a notification to you of the price change. If you don't agree with Fareness' change to its pricing, you may choose not to renew your Subscription by following the instructions above in the section entitled "Subscriptions Automatically Renew Until Cancelled".

XXVII.     Future Features

You accept and agree that your Subscription to Fareness and your payment of the fees are not contingent on any future feature set or functionality, or on any written or oral public comments by Fareness regarding functionality.
