13. Legal Disputes and Agreement to Arbitrate

Please read the following clauses carefully as it may significantly affect your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court.

A. Initial Dispute Resolution. We are available to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Services. Most concerns may be quickly resolved by informal means. We will work in good faith to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

B. Agreement to Binding Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to the initial dispute resolution means above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration. All claims arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions (including formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered on a confidential basis by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in accordance with the provisions of its Consumer Arbitration Rules, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms and Conditions, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms and Conditions is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Binding Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act.

C. Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver. The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above in the Agreement to Binding Arbitration section shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

D. Exclusive Venue for Litigation. To the extent that the arbitration provisions set forth in the Agreement to Binding Arbitration section above do not apply, the parties agree that any litigation between them shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in the state of Delaware. The parties expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction of the courts thereof.

E. The license granted herein is revocable upon refunding to passengers the Ticket price.

14. Non-Waiver

These Terms and Conditions operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms and Conditions is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and Conditions and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

We may assign our rights under these Terms and Conditions without your approval.
