10. Changes

We may update, change, or discontinue any aspect of our Services at any time. Since we’re constantly updating our Services, we sometimes have to change the legal terms under which they’re offered. The Agreement may only be modified by a written amendment signed by an authorized executive of YepTravel, or if YepTravel posts a revised version. We’ll let you know when there are changes: we’ll post them here and update the “Last Updated” date, and we may also post on one of our blog.

13. Jurisdiction and Applicable Law

Except to the extent any applicable law provides otherwise, the Agreement and any access to or use of our Services will be governed by the laws of the state of California, U.S.A., excluding its conflict of law provisions. The proper venue for any disputes arising out of or relating to the Agreement and any access to or use of our Services that are not otherwise subject to arbitration (as indicated below) will be the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

14. Arbitration Agreement

In the event of any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising from or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof, the parties shall use their best efforts to settle the dispute, claim, question, or disagreement. To this effect, they shall negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a just and equitable solution satisfactory to both parties. All claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or to the Services hereunder, including discrimination on the basis of race, sex, sexual orientation, age, national origin, ancestry, color, religion, marital status, status as a veteran of the Vietnam era, physical or mental disability, medical condition, or any other basis prohibited by law, shall be settled exclusively by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association. This includes all claims whether arising in tort or contract and whether arising under statute or common law. Arbitration shall be conducted before an arbitrator who is a member of the National Academy of Arbitrators and selected from the American Arbitration Association’s Panel. The arbitrator shall have exclusive jurisdiction to determine the arbitrability of any claim. The arbitrator shall not have the right to add to, subtract from, or modify any of the terms of this Agreement, nor shall the arbitrator have the power to determine any matter reserved to YepTravel.com discretion hereunder.
The arbitration shall take place in Los Angeles, California, in the English language and the arbitral decision may be enforced in any court. The prevailing party in any action or proceeding to enforce the Agreement shall be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees. Only the arbitrator, not a judge or jury, will decide that dispute.

15. Limitation of Liability

In no event will YepTravel, or its suppliers, partners, or licensors, be liable (including for any third-party products or services purchased or used through our Services) with respect to any subject matter of the Agreement under any contract, negligence, strict liability or other legal or equitable theory for: (i) any special, incidental or consequential damages; (ii) the cost of procurement for substitute products or services; (iii) for interruption of use or loss or corruption of data; or (iv) for any amounts that exceed $50 or the fees paid by you to YepTravel under the Agreement during the twelve (12) month period prior to the cause of action, whichever is greater. YepTravel shall have no liability for any failure or delay due to matters beyond its reasonable control. The foregoing shall not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

16. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless YepTravel, its contractors, and its licensors, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all losses, liabilities, demands, damages, costs, claims, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to your use of our Services, including but not limited to your violation of the Agreement or any agreement with a provider of third-party services used in connection with the Services, Content that you post, and any ecommerce activities conducted through website.

17. Translation

These Terms were originally written in English (US). We may translate these terms into other languages, and in the event of a conflict between a translated version of these Terms and the English version, the English version will control.

18. Miscellaneous

The Agreement (together with any other terms we provide that apply to any specific Service) constitutes the entire agreement between YepTravel and you concerning our Services. If any part of the Agreement is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part is severable from the Agreement, and does not affect the validity or enforceability of the rest of the Agreement. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of the Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof. YepTravel may assign its rights under the Agreement without condition. You may only assign your rights under the Agreement with our prior written consent.
