You solely are responsible, and agree to take reasonable precautions, for all of your communications and interactions with any persons with whom you communicate or interact as a result of your acces to and use of the misterb&b Platform, particularly if you decide to meet out of the misterb&b Platform or in person.
Whether or not the Professional Lodging Provider has charged you for your booking, you agree and acknowledge that the Professional Lodging Provider is at all times responsible for the collection, withholding, remittance, and payment to the relevant authorities of the applicable taxes due on the total amount of the Booking Price and other relevant fees you might be charged. misterb&b is not liable or responsible for the collection, withholding, remittance, and payment to the relevant authorities of the applicable taxes due on the total amount of the Booking Price and other relevant fees you might be charged. misterb&b does not act as the merchant of record for any Professional Lodging Provider.
You agree that you have had whatever opportunity you deem necessary to investigate the misterb&b Services, laws, rules, or regulations that may be applicable to the Agency Partner Listings, Professional Lodgings and the products/services offered/rendered on-site that you book as a Guest. You agree you are not relying upon any statement of law or fact made by misterb&b relating to an Agency Partner Listing. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from misterb&b or through the misterb&b Platform, will create any warranty not expressly made herein.
The foregoing disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. You may have other statutory rights. However, the duration of statutorily required warranties, if any, shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
12.1. Unless your country of residence is a Member State of the European Union, subject to the limitations set out in these Agency Partner Offer Conditions and to the extent permitted by law, you acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the misterb&b Platform, your booking of any Agency Partner Listings, your stay at any Professional Lodgings and your use or participation in the products/services that are offered/rendered on-site or any contacts you have with any Professional Lodging Providers, Professional Lodging Provider’s team or any other individual present at the Professional Lodging, whether in person or online remains, remains with you.
misterb&b will only be liable for direct damages actually suffered, paid, or incurred by you due to an attributable shortcoming of misterb&b's obligations in respect to the Services, up to an aggregate amount of the aggregate cost of your booking as set out in the Booking Confirmation Email (whether for one event or series of connected events), or one hundred U.S. dollars (USD 100), if no such payments have been made, as applicable.
Neither misterb&b nor any of misterb&b’s officers, directors, employees, representatives, subsidiaries, affiliated companies, distributors, affiliate (distribution) partners, licensees, agents, or others involved in creating, producing, or delivering the misterb&b Platform will be liable for
(i) any punitive, special, indirect, or consequential loss or damages, any loss of production, loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of contract, loss of or damage to goodwill or reputation, loss of claim;
(ii) any inaccuracy relating to the (descriptive) information (including rates, availability, and ratings) of the Professional Lodging Provider and of the Professional Lodging as made available on the misterb&b Platform;
(iii) related services/products that are furnished/offered on-site by the Professional Lodging Provider or any other business partners;
(iv) any (direct, indirect, consequential, or punitive) damages, losses, or costs suffered, incurred, or paid by you, pursuant to, arising out of or in connection with the use, inability to use, or delay of the misterb&b Platform; or (v) any (personal) injury, death, property damage, or other (direct, indirect, special, consequential, or punitive) damages, losses, or costs suffered, incurred or paid by you, whether due to (legal) acts, errors, breaches, (gross) negligence, willful misconduct, omissions, non-performance, misrepresentations, tort or strict liability by or (wholly or partly) attributable to the Professional Lodging Provider or any of our other business partners (including any of their employees, directors, officers, agents, representatives, subcontractors, or affiliated companies) whose services or products are (directly or indirectly) made available, offered, or promoted on or through the misterb&b Platform, including any (partial) cancellation, overbooking, strike, force majeure, or any other event beyond misterb&b’s control.
The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between misterb&b and you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
12.2. If your country of residence is a Member State of the European Union, misterb&b is liable under statutory provisions for assumption of guarantees or any other strict liability, or in the case of a culpable injury to life, limb, or health by misterb&b, its legal representatives, directors, or other vicarious agents. misterb&b is liable for any negligent breaches of essential contractual obligations by misterb&b, its legal representatives, directors, or other vicarious agents. Essential contractual obligations are such duties of misterb&b in whose proper fulfilment you regularly trust and must trust for the proper execution of the contract but the amount shall be limited to the typically occurring foreseeable damage. Any additional liability of misterb&b is excluded.
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold SFO84, Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, Pinklab360, and their officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any and all costs, claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with:
(i) Your violation of these Agency Partner Offer Conditions;
(ii) Your access to or use of the misterb&b Platform in connection with the Agency Partner Offer, by any person using your user name and/or password;
(iii) Your provision of any content (such as, without limitation, Guest Review and Notations) or your reliance on the content of any Agency Partner Listings;
(iv) Your interaction with any Professional Lodging Provider (including the team of the Professional Lodging Provider);
(v) Your dispute with any Professional Lodging Provider (including the team of the Professional Lodging Provider) or connected with your booking of a Professional Lodging;
(vi) your stay at a Professional Lodging, your use of or participation in the related services/products that are furnished/offered on-site, including but not limited to any injuries, losses, or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of a stay at a Professional Lodging, use of or participation in the related services/products that are furnished/offered on-site.
14.1. This Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration Provision shall apply if (i) you are a resident of the United States of America; or (ii) you are not a resident of the United States but bring any claim against misterb&b in the United States of America (to the extent not in conflict with the section “Applicable law and jurisdiction” below).
14.2. Definition. As used in this Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration Provision, the term “misterb&b” refers to SFO84, Inc., including its subsidiaries and agents. The terms “you” and “your” refer to you as an individual and any legal entity you control, work for, or represent when you access or use the misterb&b Platform. The term “Claims” means all claims, disputes, or controversies between you and misterb&b of any nature or kind, whether pre-existing, present, or future, that arise from or relate to the misterb&b. This includes but is not limited to disagreements about the validity, enforceability, or scope of this Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration Provision.
14.3. Informal Efforts to Resolve Dispute. If a dispute arises between you and misterb&b, you should first attempt to resolve it by contacting the misterb&b Customer Support by email or by sending the details of your complaint, including your contact information for a response, to the SFO84, Inc. address as listed in the introduction of these Agency Partner Offer Conditions. misterb&b will attempt in good faith to resolve all Claims submitted this way in a timely manner after being notified of such Claims.
14.4. Agreement to Arbitrate. If informal efforts to resolve Claims fail or are not used, you agree that any and all Claims will be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration as described herein, except that: (i) you may assert Claims in a small claims court in the United States if your Claims meet the court’s jurisdictional requirements; and (ii) either party may pursue Claims and relief in a court of competent jurisdiction regarding the validity and/or infringement of a party’s intellectual property rights. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award to you on an individual basis the same damages and forms of relief as a court could (including injunctive and declaratory relief as well as statutory damages), and must follow the law and these Agency Partner Offer Conditions as a court would. Any arbitration under this agreement will take place on an invidivual basis; class arbitrations and class actions and private attorney general actions are not permitted.
14.5. Right to Opt Out. If you do not wish to be bound by this Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration Provision, you must notify misterb&b in writing within thirty (30) days from the date that you first accept or have access to these Agency Partner Offer Conditions by mailing or faxing an opt-out request to the misterb&b Customer Support listed below. Your written notification must include your name, address, the email address you used to register with misterb&b or to complete the Professional Lodging booking, and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with misterb&b through arbitration. Your decision to opt out of this Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration Provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with misterb&b or the delivery of Site, Application and/or Services to you by misterb&b. If you have previously notified misterb&b of your decision to opt out of arbitration, you do not need to do so again.
14.6. Arbitration Fees. The allocation and payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the rules of the JAMS (“JAMS”), which limits the amount a consumer is required to pay. If the arbitrator determines that your Claims are not frivolous applying the standards of the U.S. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, misterb&b agrees to reimburse you the amount of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees you are required to pay for the arbitration.
14.7. Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the JAMS under its rules if you are a resident of the United States; if your use of the Site, Application and/or Services has been principally for personal or household use, the JAMS’ procedures for consumer-related disputes including the minimum fairness standards will also apply. If you are a resident of a country other than the United States or a Member State of the European Union, the arbitration will be conducted by the JAMS in San Francisco, California, under its rules for international arbitration, and you and misterb&b agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the U.S. federal court in San Francisco, California in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. If you are a resident of a country within the European Union, the arbitration will be conducted by the JAMS in Paris, France, under its rules for international arbitration, and you and misterb&b agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts in Paris, France in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the applicable arbitration rules and this Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration Provision, this Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration Provision shall govern and control. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language by a single arbitrator who is a licensed trial attorney or licensed trial lawyer with at least fifteen (15) years’ experience in consumer and technology transactions and who is also a member of the JAMS roster of arbitrators. If you and misterb&b cannot agree on a mutually acceptable arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the arbitration is initiated, then the JAMS will pick a neutral arbitrator who meets the qualifications. The JAMS rules are available at https://www.jamsadr.com, or by calling the toll free number: 1-800-352-5267 from inside the United States or +44 207 583 9808 from outside the United States.
14.8. Initiating Arbitration. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must follow the procedures specified by the applicable JAMS rules as described on their website at https://www.jamsadr.com
14.9. Time restriction. You must file a complaint with JAMS or a permitted court within one (1) year of the date of the occurrence of the event or facts giving rise to a Claim, or you waive the right to pursue any Claim based upon such event, facts or dispute.
14.10. Arbitration Process. Because appearing in person for arbitration can be unduly burdensome in the circumstances, arbitration under this Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration Provision shall not require any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless mutually agreed. Either or both parties may participate by written submissions, telephone calls, or other means of remote communication as allowed by the arbitrator. The arbitration proceedings will be conducted in the English language at a location designated by the JAMS that is the most convenient for you. The arbitration can only decide Claim(s) between you and us and may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons that may have similar claims. There shall be no pre-arbitration discovery except as provided for in the applicable JAMS rules. The arbitrator will honor claims of privilege recognized by law and will take reasonable steps to protect customer account information and other confidential or proprietary information. In conducting the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator will apply the law of the State of California (without regard to its conflicts of law provisions) including U.S. federal law for matters covered by federal law (e.g. the Federal Arbitration Act). The confidentiality provisions of these Agency Partner Offer Conditions will be enforceable under the provisions of the California Uniform Trade Secrets Act, California Civil Code Section 3426, as amended. At the request of any party, the arbitrator shall provide a brief written explanation of the basis for the decision and award. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding on the parties except for any right to appeal under the JAMS rules or the Federal Arbitration Act.
14.11. Recovery and Attorneys’ Fees. If the arbitrator rules in your favor on the merits of any Claim you bring against misterb&b and issues you an award that is greater in monetary value than the last written settlement offer made by misterb&b to you before written submissions are made to the arbitrator, then misterb&b will (i) pay you one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of your arbitration damages award, up to one thousand U.S. dollars (USD$1,000) over and above your damages award; and (ii) pay your reasonable attorneys’ fees, and reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that you or your attorney reasonably incurred for investigating, preparing, and pursuing your Claim in arbitration. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of such fees, expenses, and the alternative payment and the attorney premium at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits. The right to attorneys’ fees and expenses discussed above supplements any right to attorneys’ fees and expenses you may have under applicable law, although you may not recover duplicative awards of attorneys’ fees or costs. If your use of the Site, Application and/or Services was principally for personal or household use, neither party will be entitled to any award of punitive or special damages and misterb&b waives any right it may have to seek an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses from you in connection with any arbitration of Claims between us.
14.12. Confidentiality. You and misterb&b shall keep confidential any information exchanged during the arbitration as well as the decision of the arbitrator made with respect to any Claim(s) arbitrated under this Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration Provision and, with the exception of disclosure to your or misterb&b’s attorneys, accountants, auditors, and other legal or financial advisors, neither party shall disclose such information or decision to any other person unless required to do so by law.
14.13. Continuing Obligation to Arbitrate; Severability. This Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration Provision shall survive termination of your access to or use of any Site, Application and/or Services and these Agency Partner Offer Conditions. If any portion of this Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration Provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable at law, such invalid or unenforceable provision will be interpreted, construed or reformed to the extent required to make it valid and enforceable, and this shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration Provision.
