Some of the Service is supported by advertising revenue and may display advertisements and promotions, and you hereby agree that LoungeBuddy may place such advertising and promotions on the Service or on, about, or in conjunction with your Content. The manner, mode and extent of such advertising and promotions are subject to change without specific notice to you.

You represent and warrant that: (i) you own the Content posted by you on or through the Service or otherwise have the right to grant the rights and licenses set forth in these Terms of Use; (ii) the posting and use of your Content on or through the Service does not violate, misappropriate or infringe on the rights of any third party, including, without limitation, privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, trademark and/or other intellectual property rights; (iii) you agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other monies owed by reason of Content you post on or through the Service; and (iv) you have the legal right and capacity to enter into these Terms of Use in your jurisdiction.

In addition, all page headers, custom graphics, button icons and scripts are service marks, trademarks and/or trade dress of LoungeBuddy, and may not be copied, imitated or used, in whole or in part, without prior written permission from LoungeBuddy.
Although it is LoungeBuddy’s intention for the Service to be available as much as possible, there will be occasions when the Service may be interrupted, including, without limitation, for scheduled maintenance or upgrades, for emergency repairs, or due to failure of telecommunications links and/or equipment. Also, LoungeBuddy reserves the right to remove any Content from the Service for any reason, without prior notice. Content removed from the Service may continue to be stored by LoungeBuddy, including, without limitation, in order to comply with certain legal obligations, but may not be retrievable without a valid court order. Consequently, LoungeBuddy encourages you to maintain your own backup of your Content. In other words, LoungeBuddy is not a backup service and you agree that you will not rely on the Service for the purposes of Content backup or storage. LoungeBuddy will not be liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service, or the loss of any Content.

You acknowledge and agree that your relationship with LoungeBuddy is not a confidential, fiduciary, or other type of special relationship, and that your decision to submit any Content does not place LoungeBuddy in a position that is any different from the position held by members of the general public, including with regard to your Content. None of your Content will be subject to any obligation of confidence on the part of LoungeBuddy, and LoungeBuddy will not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Content you provide.
It is LoungeBuddy’s policy not to accept or consider content, information, ideas, suggestions or other materials other than those we have specifically requested and to which certain specific terms, conditions and requirements may apply. This is to avoid any misunderstandings if your ideas are similar to those we have developed or are developing independently. Accordingly, LoungeBuddy does not accept unsolicited materials or ideas, and takes no responsibility for any materials or ideas so transmitted. If, despite our policy, you choose to send us content, information, ideas, suggestions, or other materials, you further agree that LoungeBuddy is free to use any such content, information, ideas, suggestions or other materials, for any purposes whatsoever, including, without limitation, developing and marketing products and services, without any liability or payment of any kind to you.

Terms Governing use of the Service to Purchase Access to Lounges from Lounge Operators

LoungeBuddy is the operator of the Service. The Service includes an electronic portal available online and through mobile devices that allows retail consumers (“you”) the opportunity to find lounges and purchase access to lounges directly from lounge operators (each purchase of lounge access by you from a lounge operator, a "transaction"). Use of the Service, and your purchase of lounge access from lounge operators using the Service, is governed by these Terms of Use.
The Service displays information regarding available lounges and pricing for each lounge, if applicable. Lounge access prices are set by lounge operators, but for certain lounges LoungeBuddy has negotiated special rates for LoungeBuddy users. When you select and agree to purchase lounge access in a transaction, you agree to pay the lounge operator the access price displayed on the Service. American Express will process and remit your payment to the applicable lounge operator.
LoungeBuddy does not own, operate, control, manage or sell access to any of the lounges available through the Service and is not a party to any transaction. Each transaction is between you and a lounge operator. By using the Service and entering into a transaction, you acknowledge and agree that you are entering into an agreement with the lounge operator to purchase lounge access directly from such lounge operator. LoungeBuddy receives a finder’s commission for each transaction from the lounge operator. LoungeBuddy has no liability to you for any failure on the part of the lounge operator to provide access or to provide any particular service or amenity.
Your use of the Service, and the terms of any particular transaction, are also governed by the terms of use, policies and code of conduct for any particular lounge which is established solely by each lounge operator. Such terms of use, policies and/or codes of conduct may include additional terms and conditions not stated in these Terms of Use, and your failure or refusal to comply with such policies may result in your being refused entry to, or removed from, the lounge, with no refund of any fees paid. By completing a transaction, you agree to comply with all such terms of use, policies and/or codes of conduct.
All purchases are subject to applicable service fees and charges, which are non-refundable unless otherwise specified in these Terms of Use.
LoungeBuddy or American Express may, in their sole discretion or at the direction of a lounge operator, determine not to process or to cancel your transaction. LoungeBuddy and American Express also reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to take steps to verify or authenticate your identity prior to processing your transaction. If LoungeBuddy or American Express decides to take steps to verify or authenticate your identity, you agree to assist with the verification or authentication process by providing any information or documentation requested by LoungeBuddy or American Express. You authorize LoungeBuddy and American Express to access information with or obtain reports from third parties if LoungeBuddy or American Express believes that such information or reports may assist with the identity verification or authentication process. If LoungeBuddy or American Express asks you to execute a supplemental authorization to access such information or reports, then you agree to do so. If you do not cooperate with the identity verification or authentication process as described in this paragraph, then you will not be able to complete the transaction, and might not be able to use the Service for future transactions. LoungeBuddy and American Express also reserve the right, in its sole discretion, to take steps to verify your identity prior to processing your transaction. You will not be charged for transactions that LoungeBuddy does not process. Unless a different currency is specified during the check-out process, all transactions will be processed in United States Dollars, notwithstanding that some prices may be displayed in local currencies. You shall be solely responsible for all fees incurred in connection with any currency conversion.
Each transaction is cancellable and refundable (less applicable service fees and charges, including any amounts associated with currency conversion) if you cancel a transaction at least 24 hours before the lounge entry time you have purchased. Transactions booked less than 24 hours before the scheduled lounge entry time are not refundable and you will be charged whether or not you actually use the lounge. To be eligible to receive a refund, you must notify us at support@loungebuddy.americanexpress.com at least 24 hours before your scheduled lounge entry time and provide the following information: (i) your full name and email address (as they appear in your booking confirmation); and (ii) your booking confirmation code.
LoungeBuddy provides descriptions of lounges and other related content based on information provided by the lounge operator or other third parties. As a result, LoungeBuddy is unable to guarantee the accuracy of any such content or information. LoungeBuddy is not responsible for any claims associated with such descriptions. Lounge operators are solely responsible for honoring the lounge access that they advertise, market and sell via the Service and for any and all liabilities arising from the sale of lounge access and your use of the lounge.
Lounge operators are ultimately responsible for any disputes raised by you except to the extent arising out of the operation of the Service itself. LoungeBuddy and American Express reserve the right to investigate any transactions or fees that you dispute, and LoungeBuddy and American Express, in their sole discretion as intermediary between you and the lounge operator, may cancel any of your upcoming reservations and/or suspend your account while reviewing any disputed charges.
Any gift cards or promotional codes (including discounts, coupons or other similar promotions) offered by LoungeBuddy are subject to these Terms of Use, their own terms and conditions and any other terms or conditions communicated in connection with the sale or offering of such gift cards or promotional codes. In the case of any conflict between the terms or conditions of such gift cards or promotional codes and these Terms of Use, these Terms of Use shall control. Any attempt to redeem a gift card or promotional code in violation of these Terms of Use will render the gift card or promotional code void except to the extent of any value such gift card or promotional code must be accorded by law.
LoungeBuddy reserves the right to amend or modify these Terms Governing Use of the Service to Purchase Access to Lounges from Lounge Operators at any time and from time to time, without notice to you.
The Service is limited to private purpose. A tax invoice according to respective taxation laws of selected countries will not be issued.

Indemnification

You (and also any third party for whom you operate an account or activity on the Service) agree to defend (at LoungeBuddy’s or American Express’ request), indemnify and hold the LoungeBuddy Parties harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with any of the following (including as a result of your direct activities on the Service or those conducted on your behalf): (i) your Content or your access to or use of the Service; (ii) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms of Use; (iii) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation, any intellectual property right, publicity, confidentiality, property or privacy right; (iv) your violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances or orders of any governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, including, without limitation, all regulatory, administrative and legislative authorities; or (v) any misrepresentation made by you.

LoungeBuddy and American Express reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you will not in any event settle any claim without the prior written consent of LoungeBuddy or American Express.

Arbitration

Except if you opt-out or for disputes relating to: (1) your, American Express’ or LoungeBuddy’s intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights and patents); or (2) violations of provisions 13 or 14 of the Basic Terms, above (“Excluded Disputes”), you agree that all disputes between you and LoungeBuddy or you and American Express (whether or not such dispute involves a third party) with regard to your relationship with LoungeBuddy or American Express, including without limitation disputes related to these Terms of Use, your use of the Service, and/or rights of privacy and/or publicity, will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration under the American Arbitration Association’s rules for arbitration of consumer-related disputes and you, American Express and LoungeBuddy hereby expressly waive trial by jury. As an alternative, you may bring your claim in your local “small claims” court, if permitted by that small claims court’s rules. You may bring claims only on your own behalf. Neither you nor LoungeBuddy nor American Express will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by this agreement. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if LoungeBuddy or American Express is a party to the proceeding. This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. In the event the American Arbitration Association is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within one hundred and sixty (160) days of filing the case, then either LoungeBuddy, American Express or you can elect to have the arbitration administered instead by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Terms of Use.

You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you do so, neither you nor LoungeBuddy, nor American Express can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify LoungeBuddy in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision. You must use this address to opt out:

LoungeBuddy, Inc. ATTN: Arbitration Opt-out, 200 Vesey Street New York, NY 10285.

You must include your name and residence address, the email address you use for your LoungeBuddy account, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement.

If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with LoungeBuddy and American Express.

Time Limitation on Claims

You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with LoungeBuddy or American Express must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred.

Governing Law & Venue

These Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law AND WILL SPECIFICALLY NOT BE GOVERNED BY THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTIONS ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS, IF OTHERWISE APPLICABLE. For any action at law or in equity relating to the arbitration provision of these Terms of Use, the Excluded Disputes or if you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, you agree to resolve any dispute you have with LoungeBuddy or American Express exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco, California, and to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in San Francisco County for the purpose of litigating all such disputes.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable during arbitration or by a court of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. LoungeBuddy’s or American Express’ failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. No waiver of any of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition. LoungeBuddy and American Express reserve the right to change this dispute resolution provision, but any such changes will not apply to disputes arising before the effective date of the amendment. This dispute resolution provision will survive the termination of any or all of your transactions with LoungeBuddy.

Entire Agreement

If you are using the Service on behalf of a legal entity, you represent that you are authorized to enter into an agreement on behalf of that legal entity. These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and LoungeBuddy and American Express related to the Service and these Terms of Use govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and LoungeBuddy and you and American Express related to the Service. You will not assign the Terms of Use or assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of LoungeBuddy or American Express. Any purported assignment or delegation by you without the appropriate prior written consent of LoungeBuddy or American Express will be null and void.
