Booking Vacation Rentals, Restaurant Reservations and Experiences/Activities with Third-Party Suppliers Listed on Corporate Affiliate Sites. Some of Doggies in Town’s corporate affiliates act as marketplaces to facilitate travelers’ ability to (1) enter into vacation rental agreements with property owners and managers (“Vacation Rentals”), (2) make reservations for restaurants (“Restaurants”) and/or (3) make reservations for tours, activities and attractions (variously, “Experiences/Activities”) with third-party suppliers of such Experiences/Activities (each such supplier of a vacation rental and/or Experience/Activity to be referred to as an “Advertiser”). Those corporate affiliates of Doggies in Town syndicate their advertisements to other entities within Doggies in Town and that is why you see them on the Doggies in Town application and websites.  As a user, you must be responsible for your use of the Services (including, in particular, Doggies in Town application and websites), and any transaction involving Vacation Rentals, Restaurants or Experiences/Activities facilitated by Doggies in Town’s corporate affiliates. We do not own, manage, or contract for any Vacation Rental, Restaurant or Experience/Activity listed on the Services.

One of Doggies in Town’s corporate affiliates may act as an Advertiser’s limited agent solely for the purpose of transmitting your payment to the Advertiser. You agree to pay an Advertiser, or a Doggies in Town corporate affiliate acting as limited payment collection agent on behalf of an Advertiser, any specified fee(s) charged by the Advertiser for any Vacation Rental reservation or Experience.

 

By making a Vacation Rental reservation, Restaurant reservation or Experience/Activity reservation facilitated by one of our corporate affiliates, you will have to acknowledge and agree to its terms and conditions, as well as its privacy policy.

Other than as stated in this section or as explicitly agreed upon in writing between you and Doggies in Town, the Agreements constitute all the terms and conditions agreed upon between you and Doggies in Town and supersede any prior agreements in relation to the subject matter of these Agreements, whether written or oral.

 

Please note, however, that certain aspects of your use of the Doggies in Town Service may be governed by additional agreements. That could include, for example, access to the Doggies in Town Service as a result of a gift card, free or discounted Trials, or together with other services. When you are presented with an offer for such aspects of your use, you will be presented with any related additional agreement, and you may have an opportunity to agree to additional terms. Some of those additional terms are listed on Doggies in Town’s website. To the extent that there is any irreconcilable conflict between any additional terms and these Terms, the additional terms shall prevail.

Unless as otherwise stated in the Agreements, should any provision of the Agreements be held invalid or unenforceable for any reason or to any extent, such invalidity or enforceability shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable the remaining provisions of the Agreements, and the application of that provision shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.

 

Any failure by Doggies in Town or any third party beneficiary to enforce the Agreements or any provision thereof shall not waive Doggies in Town’s or the applicable third party beneficiary’s right to do so.

 

As used in these Terms, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

Doggies in Town may assign the Agreements, and any of its rights under the Agreements, in whole or in part, and Doggies in Town may delegate any of its obligations under the Agreements. You may not assign the Agreements, in whole or in part, nor transfer or sub-license your rights under the Agreements, to any third party.

You agree to indemnify and hold Doggies in Town harmless from and against all damages, losses, and expenses of any kind (including reasonable attorney fees and costs) arising out of or related to: (1) your breach of the Agreements or any one of them; (2) any User Content you post or otherwise contribute; (3) any activity in which you engage on or through the Doggies in Town Service; and (4) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

23.1 Governing Law / Jurisdiction

Unless otherwise required by a mandatory law of a member state of the European Union or any other jurisdiction, the Agreements (and any non-contractual disputes/claims arising out of or in connection with them) are subject to the laws of the state or country listed below, without regard to choice or conflicts of law principles.

 

Country

Spain

 

Choice of Law

Spain

 

Jurisdiction

Exclusive; Courts of Spain

 

Further, you and Doggies in Town agree to the jurisdiction of the court in Spain (Choice of Law and Jurisdiction) to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy that arises in connection with the Agreements (and any non-contractual disputes/claims arising out of or in connection with them). 

 

23.2 CLASS ACTION WAIVER

WHERE PERMITTED UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND Doggies in Town AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both you and Doggies in Town agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

 

23.3 ARBITRATION

If you are located in, are based in, have offices in, or do business in a jurisdiction in which this Section 23.3. is enforceable, the following mandatory arbitration provisions apply to you:

 

23.3.1 Dispute resolution and arbitration

You and Doggies in Town agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Doggies in Town arising in connection with or relating in any way to these Agreements or to your relationship with Doggies in Town as a user of the Service (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of the Agreements) will be determined by mandatory binding individual arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. There may be more limited discovery than in court. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney fees), except that the arbitrator may not award declaratory or injunctive relief benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. This arbitration provision will survive termination of the Agreements.

 

23.3.2 Exceptions

Notwithstanding clause 23.3.1 above, you and Doggies in Town both agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights, at any time, to (1) bring an individual action in a small claims court ,(2) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (3) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (4) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.

 

23.3.3 Arbitration rules

Either you or we may start arbitration proceedings. Any arbitration between you and Doggies in Town will be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) then in force (the “ICC Rules”) by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules, as modified by these Agreements, and will be administered by the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC.

 

Any arbitration will be conducted in the English language and unless otherwise required by a mandatory law of a member state of the European Union or any other jurisdiction, the law to be applied in any arbitration shall be the law of [the relevant state or country listed in clause 23.1], without regard to choice or conflicts of law principles.

 

23.3.4 Time for filing

Any arbitration must be commenced by filing a demand for arbitration within ONE (1) YEAR after the date the party asserting the claim first knows or reasonably should know of the act, omission, or default giving rise to the claim; and there shall be no right to any remedy for any claim not asserted within that time period. If applicable law prohibits a one-year limitation period for asserting claims, any claim must be asserted within the shortest time period permitted by applicable law.

 

23.3.5 Notice; Process

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). Doggies in Town’s address for Notice is: [Doggies in Town, Attn: Calle Pacifico 11, 29004, Málaga, Spain]. The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Doggies in Town may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Doggies in Town shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. In the event our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Doggies in Town shall pay you (1) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any, (2) the last written settlement amount offered by Doggies in Town in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award. All documents and information disclosed in the course of the arbitration shall be kept strictly confidential by the recipient and shall not be used by the recipient for any purpose other than for purposes of the arbitration or the enforcement of the arbitrator’s decision and award and shall not be disclosed except in confidence to persons who have a need to know for such purposes or as required by applicable law. Except as required to enforce the arbitrator’s decision and award, neither you nor Doggies in Town shall make any public announcement or public comment or originate any publicity concerning the arbitration, including, but not limited to, the fact that the parties are in dispute, the existence of the arbitration, or any decision or award of the arbitrator.

 

23.3.6 Modifications

In the event that Doggies in Town makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to Doggies in Town’s address for Notice), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Doggies in Town’s address for Notice, in which case your account with Doggies in Town shall be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject, shall survive.

 

23.3.7 Enforceability

If the class action waiver at Section 23.2 is found to be unenforceable in arbitration or if any part of this Section 23.3 is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 23.3 shall be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 23.1 shall govern any action arising out of or related to the Agreements.
