Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if you have given Best Venues Group notice of a dispute under the section called “dispute resolution” (below), no change to the “limitation of liability” section after Best Venues Group received your notice will apply to the dispute.
These terms are to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the applicable country or region and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the relevant jurisdiction of the applicable country. Any lawsuit, claim, action or proceeding relating to this agreement shall be brought in the state or federal courts sitting in the applicable country or region, county, the applicable country or region and both the company and member expressly consent to the jurisdiction of such courts for that purpose.
Waiver of jury trial and class action; agreement to mandatory arbitration.
You and Best Venues Group agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these terms, or the use of the services (collectively, “disputes”) will be submitted to binding arbitration in the relevant jurisdiction of the applicable country. However, each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights. You acknowledge and agree that you and Best Venues Group are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Best Venues Group otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “dispute resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “dispute resolution” section will survive any termination of these terms.
Where a lawsuit must occur.
The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any action to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (“ip disputes”) will be the state and federal courts located in the applicable country or region and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
Arbitration rules and governing law.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with “commercial arbitration rules and mediation procedures (including procedures for large, complex, commercial disputes),” amended October 1, 2013, and the consumer arbitration rules, amended September 1, 2014, or in accordance with the applicable rules then in effect (the “AAA rules”), except as modified by this “dispute resolution” section. (The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879 free.) The federal arbitration act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
Arbitration process.
A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form at www.adr.org). The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the relevant jurisdiction of the applicable country and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Arbitration location and procedure.
Unless you and Best Venues Group otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the applicable country or region. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely based on documents you and Best Venues Group submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. The prevailing party is entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law.
Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.
Notwithstanding the foregoing terms, if Best Venues Group changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to ) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated Date” below. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Best Venues Group in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if you have given Best Venues Group notice of a Dispute under this section called “Dispute Resolution”, no change to the “Dispute Resolution” section after Best Venues Group received your notice will apply to the Dispute.
These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Best Venues Group and you regarding the Services and Site Content, and any Listings or bookings made via the Services, superseding and replacing any prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Best Venues Group and you regarding the Services, Site Content, Listings, and bookings made through the Services.

The failure of Best Venues Group to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of the future enforcement of that right or provision. A waiver of any right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Best Venues Group. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will not prejudice its other remedies. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact us at info@bestvenuesgroup.com.
