10.1.2. The obligations in this Section do not apply with respect to any third party claim arising from infringement arising in whole or in part from any portions or components of the Spotnana Services: (i) not supplied by Spotnana; (ii) that are modified after delivery by Spotnana where the alleged infringement relates to such modification; or (iii) combined with other products, processes or materials where the alleged infringement relates to such combination; or (iv) where Client continues allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (v) where Client’s use of the Spotnana Services is not strictly in accordance with this Agreement. If, due to a claim of infringement, the Spotnana Services are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be or are believed by Spotnana to be infringing, Spotnana may, at its option and expense: (a) replace or modify the Spotnana Services to be non-infringing, or (b) obtain for Client a license to continue using the Spotnana Services, or (c ) if neither of the foregoing is commercially practicable, terminate this Agreement and Client’s rights hereunder and provide Client a refund of any prepaid, unused Spotnana Fees for the Service. Spotnana’ obligations under this Section are contingent upon: (a) Client providing Spotnana with prompt written notice of such claim; (b) Client providing reasonable cooperation to Spotnana, at Spotnana’ expense, in the defense and settlement of such claim; and (c ) Spotnana having sole authority to defend or settle such claim.

10.2. Indemnification by Client.

10.2.1. Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Spotnana, its officers, directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates from and against any Losses in connection with any third party claim that (A) arises out of Client’s or any of Client’s Authorized User’s use of the Services that violates this Agreement, (B) alleges that Client Data violates a third party’s privacy or intellectual property rights, (C) arises from any infringement of Spotnana’s Intellectual Property Rights, or (d) arises out of Client’s willful misconduct or fraud.

11. Limitation of Liability.

11.1. Consequential Damages Waiver. In no event shall either party be liable to the other party for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including loss of income, data, profits, revenue or business interruption, or cost of substitute services, or other economic loss, whether or not such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages, and whether any claim for recovery is based on theories of contract, warranty, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or otherwise.

11.2. Liability Cap. Except as set forth in Section 11.3 or Client’s obligation to pay the Spotnana Fees, each party’s aggregate liability to the other party in connection with the Agreement shall not exceed the total Spotnana Fees paid or payable by Client in the twelve-month period preceding the claim or action, regardless of the form or theory of the claim or action.  If the Agreement has been in effect for less than 12 months, the actual total Fees paid or payable shall be annualized.

11.3. Exceptions. The limitation of liability in Section 14.2 will not apply to the (a) indemnification obligations set forth in Section 10 or (b) either party’s breach of confidentiality obligations under Section 9.3 (the “Excluded Claims“). With respect to Excluded Claims, in no event shall either party’s aggregate liability to the other party exceed five (5) times the total Spotnana Fees paid or payable in the twelve-month period preceding the claim or action, regardless of the form or theory of the claim or action.  If the Agreement has been in effect for less than 12 months, the actual total Spotnana Fees paid or payable shall be annualized.

12. Disputes

12.1. Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue.

12.2. Informal Resolution. Before filing a claim, the parties will consult and negotiate with each other and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a solution satisfactory to both parties. If the parties do not reach settlement within a period of sixty (60) days, either party may bring a formal proceeding.

12.3. Agreement to Arbitrate. Spotnana and Client agree to resolve any claims relating to the Agreement through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth below. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be held in San Francisco, CA or any other location mutually agreeable to the parties.

12.4. Exceptions. Either party may bring a lawsuit in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco, California: (i) to enforce the arbitration provisions of the Agreement; or (ii) for equitable relief as described below. Spotnana and Client hereby consent to exclusive jurisdiction in such courts.

12.5. Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges that a breach by the other party of any confidentiality or Intellectual Property Rights provisions of the Agreement may cause the non-breaching party irreparable damage, for which the award of damages would not be adequate compensation. Consequently, the non-breaching party may institute an action to enjoin the breaching party from any and all acts in violation of those provisions, which remedy shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and a party may seek the entry of an injunction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of those provisions, in addition to any other relief to which the non-breaching party may be entitled at law or in equity.

In particular, but without limitation, Spotnana Services may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any United States embargoed countries, or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Denied Persons List or Entity List. By using Spotnana Spotnana Services, Client represents and warrants that neither Client or any of its Authorized Users (i) are  located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country and (ii) are listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

13.16. International Users. The Spotnana Services can be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to services and content that are not available in your country. These references do not imply that Spotnana intends to announce such services or content in your country. The Spotnana Services are managed and offered by Spotnana from its facilities in the United States of America. Spotnana makes no representations that the Spotnana Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use Spotnana Services from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.

Spotnana Travel Addendum

Through the Spotnana Services, including the Booking Services and Content Services, Spotnana may provide Client and its Authorized Users with access to travel services and products (collectively, the “Travel Services“) from travel providers, including airlines, hotel operators, travel inventory aggregators, rail carriers, car companies and other related suppliers and vendors (“Travel Vendors“). This Travel Addendum covers the reservation, purchase and use of all Travel Services, and is incorporated into the Spotnana Terms and Conditions of Service Agreement (the “Agreement”).  All terms used in this Travel Addendum but not defined herein shall have the same meaning as assigned to them under the Agreement.

1. Authorization of Client’s Travel Service Information. While Client will be ultimately responsible for all purchases of Travel Services from the applicable Travel Vendors, in order to facilitate the purchase of Travel Services by an Authorized User from the applicable Travel Vendor, Client authorizes Spotnana to submit certain information, including the name and other personal information of the Authorized User and the applicable payment information (the “Travel Service Information”), to the Travel Vendor to the extent required by the Travel Vendor to effect purchases of Travel Services.

2. Client’s Use of Travel Services.  Client acknowledges and agrees that the following terms apply to Client’s use of the Travel Services:

2.1. Spotnana acts only as a booking platform for the Travel Vendors and is not responsible for the acts or omissions of Travel Vendors, including, without limitation, their failure to provide services, adhere to their own schedules, provide services or refunds, financial default, failure to honor future trip credits, or otherwise honor their contracts. We have no special knowledge regarding the financial conditions of any Travel Vendor and accordingly will have no liability for recommending a trip credit in lieu of a refund. In our role as a booking platform and provider of Spotnana Services, we act as an intermediary agent and independent third party between you and the Travel Vendors; no joint venture, partnership, employment, agency, representative, fiduciary or similar relationship exists between you and us, or any Travel Vendor, as a result of your use of our Travel Services.  We assist you in finding Travel Vendors and making certain arrangements for travel. We consider various factors in identifying Travel Vendors and recommending specific itineraries.

2.2. Additional terms, conditions , policies, rules, or restrictions dictated by the applicable Travel Vendor (the “Travel Vendor Terms”) may apply to the reservation and/or purchase of applicable Travel Services on the Spotnana Platform. By purchasing any Travel Services through the Spotnana Services, you agree to abide by all the Travel Vendor Terms, and to be bound by the limitations therein, including, payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the applicable Travel Vendor Terms. If the Travel Vendor Terms are ever in conflict with the Agreement, the Agreement including this Spotnana Travel Addendum, will control all issues relating to the liabilities and responsibilities of Spotnana.

2.3. Client understands that any violation of any such Travel Vendor Terms, including timely payment, may result in: (i) Client forfeiting any monies paid for such reservation or purchase, (ii) cancellation of your reservation or purchase, (iii) Client being denied access to any flights, hotels, or any other products or services, and (iv) Spotnana debiting Client’s account for any costs we incur as a result of such violation. Client acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Travel Vendors may change their prices without notice prior to reservation or purchase by Client, and (ii) Client shall be responsible for all charges, fees, duties, taxes, and assessments arising out of your use of Travel Services, including, without limitation, all reservations and purchases you make through the Travel Services. Client acknowledge that some Travel Vendors may require an Authorized User to sign a liability waiver or other forms prior to using their services, and Client understands that such person’s unwillingness to do so may result in a cancellation of your reservation(s), being denied access to the Travel Vendor’s services, and forfeiting any monies paid for such reservation(s), in accordance with applicable Travel Vendor Terms. Through the Travel Services an Authorized User may make a reservation for a combination of two one-way air tickets instead of a roundtrip air ticket. Unlike roundtrip air tickets, each one-way ticket is subject to its own rules, restrictions, and fees. If one of these flights is affected by an airline change (e.g., cancellation or rescheduling) that causes an Authorized User to make changes to the other flight, Client acknowledges that it or such Authorized User shall be responsible for any fees incurred for making changes to the unaffected flight, including any difference in fare and change/cancellation penalties.

2.4. At the time of reservation/purchase, Client’s credit/charge card may be charged the total cost of the Travel Vendor products and services selected for a Trip, including taxes and fees (but excluding any mandatory hotel-imposed charges that may be applicable upon check out from the hotel). Client may see separate charges on its credit/charge card statement (from Spotnana and from the Travel Vendors you selected). If applicable, certain mandatory hotel-imposed charges are payable to the property upon check-out (e.g., mandatory resort fees); any incidental charges that an Authorized User makes during their stay will be charged by the property upon check-out, including but not limited to parking, phone calls, internet access and room service. Some properties have age requirements that Client will be responsible for checking and confirming on behalf of any Authorized Users. Trips booked on the Spotnana Platform include the travel products/services that an Authorized User selected; therefore, if baggage, seat-selection, or similar ancillary items were not included in those products/services, additional Travel Vendor fees may apply. If an Authorized User purchases a flight, this flight is not confirmed until ticketed.

2.5. Client acknowledges that Authorized Users or Client, as applicable, are solely responsible for reviewing and complying with Travel Vendors’ restrictions and requirements, including with respect to luggage allowances and restrictions, as well as bag-check and check-in timing requirements, and COVID-19 specific rules and requirements; and all purchases of Travel Services are subject to fare rules and any other terms and conditions presented at the time such booking is made, including without limitation, rules regarding refunds and/or cancellations.

2.6. Client will ensure that Authorized Users use the Travel Services to make legitimate reservations or purchases and shall not use any Travel Services  for any other purposes, including, without limitation, making any speculative, false, fictitious or fraudulent reservation. Client will not use, nor permit any Authorized User to use, any Spotnana Services from a country prohibited under U.S. export and/or Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations, including, without limitation, regulations based upon sanctions, country programs against, or embargoes. For more information regarding these regulations, visit www.treas.gov/ofac. Client shall become unauthorized to use any Spotnana Services in the event of a breach of these obligations, and shall indemnify and hold harmless us and Travel Vendors for any breach of this section.

2.7. Client represents and warrants, on behalf of itself and its Authorized Users, that any Authorized User that uses the Travel Services is (A)at least 18 years of age, and is of sufficient legal age to use the Travel Services and to create binding legal obligations for any liability they may incur as a result of the use of the Travel Services and (B) all information supplied by Client and/or any Authorized using their name or account, in using Travel Services is true, complete, and correct. Client acknowledges and agrees that: (i) it is financially responsible for all uses of Travel Services by Client and its Authorized Users, (ii) some Travel Vendors have age requirements and restrictions for use of their products and services, and any Authorized User and those traveling with such person shall be subject to such requirements and restrictions, and (iii) should an Authorized User make a reservation and/or purchase for other people, Client or such Authorized User shall inform those people of all terms, conditions, policies, rules, and restrictions that apply.

3. Disclaimers.

3.1. Travel Services Disclaimer. Spotnana does not guarantee the description of the Travel Services and the accuracy of the information displayed on the Spotnana Services (including, without limitation, the summary of the Travel Service (including a summary of the fare rules), the photographs, list of hotel amenities, pricing, general product descriptions, etc.). Spotnana disclaims any and all liability for any inaccuracies or other errors relating to the Travel Services except to the extent such errors are introduced or caused by a willful act of Spotnana. Spotnana expressly reserves the right to correct any pricing errors on the Spotnana Services and/or pending reservations made under an inaccurate and/or incorrect price.

3.2. Travel Risk Disclaimer. By offering reservations for Travel Services via the Spotnana Services, in particular for international destinations, Spotnana does not represent or warrant that travel to such areas is advisable or without risk, and is not liable for damages or losses that may result from travel to such destinations. The Travel Vendors are independent contractors and not agents, subcontractors, or employees of Spotnana. Spotnana disclaims all liability relating to the actions or inactions of Travel Vendors or to any Travel Services, including any actions or inactions that result in any personal injuries, death, property damage, or other damages to Client or an Authorized User. Spotnana has no liability to Client or any Authorized User and will make no refund in the event of any delay, cancellation, overbooking, strike, force majeure or other causes beyond Spotnana’ control.

3.3. COVID-19 Disclaimer. We assume no responsibility for and shall not be liable for unsafe conditions or health hazards including pandemics or other illnesses. We have no special knowledge of dangers during travel or at destinations. For information related to such dangers, we recommend going to the State Department travel website at www.travel.state.gov, click on “Find International travel Information” then click on “Country Information”, and  fill in the name of the destination country. For medical and health information, we recommend going to the Centers for Disease Control website at www.cdc.gov/travel, then click on “Destinations” and scroll to the name of the destination country. We have no responsibility for COVID-19-related requirements that travel suppliers and governments may impose from time to time, such as health affidavit forms, health screenings prior to departure or upon arrival, face coverings, or quarantines. For the latest COVID-19 government travel regulations, we recommend going to IATA’s website at https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/international-travel-document-news/15802262.

3.4. Travel Vendor Disclaimer.  TRAVEL VENDORS ARE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, INDEPENDENT DATA CONTROLLERS, AND NOT EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS OF SPOTNANA. WE ACT SOLELY AS A BOOKING PLATFORM FOR TRAVEL VENDORS AND ARE NOT LIABLE FOR, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE ACTS, ERRORS, OMISSIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR NEGLIGENCE OF ANY SUCH TRAVEL VENDOR OR FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOSS, ACCIDENT, DELAY, IRREGULARITY, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OR EXPENSES RESULTING THEREFROM, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY. WE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY AND WILL MAKE NO REFUND IN THE EVENT OF ANY DELAY, CANCELLATION, OVERBOOKING, SCHEDULE CHANGE, CESSATION OF OPERATIONS, LABOR DISPUTE, STRIKE, ACTS OF GOVERNMENT, ACTS OF WAR, TERRORISM, DISEASE, QUARANTINE, WEATHER OR OTHER FORCE MAJEURE EVENT OR OTHER CAUSE BEYOND OUR DIRECT CONTROL (EXCEPT WHERE REQUIRED UNDER APPLICABLE CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW).  WE HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ADDITIONAL EXPENSE, OMISSIONS, DELAYS, OR RE-ROUTING CAUSED BY ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY TRAVEL VENDOR OR GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY. THE FACT THAT WE INCLUDE OR OFFER ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE ON/THROUGH THE TRAVEL SERVICES DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE ENDORSING OR RECOMMENDING SUCH PRODUCT OR SERVICE. ANY AND ALL CLAIMS REGARDING ANY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OFFERED THROUGH THE TRAVEL SERVICES ARE LIMITED TO CLAIMS AGAINST THE TRAVEL VENDOR OF SUCH PRODUCTS AND SERVICE. WE HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OUR INDIRECT DAMAGES, IN CONNECTION WITH PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY ANY TRAVEL VENDOR THROUGH THE TRAVEL SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LIABILITY FOR ANY ACT, ERROR, OMISSION, INJURY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOSS, ACCIDENT, DELAY, IRREGULARITY OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OR EXPENSES WHICH MAY BE INCURRED THROUGH THE FAULT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE, OF SUCH TRAVEL VENDOR AND YOU HEREBY EXONERATE US FROM ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE SAME.

3.5.   Prices and Surcharges.

3.5.1. Only items and fees explicitly advertised as included in the price of a Travel Service will be included as part of Travel Service’s advertised price. Spotnana will use commercially reasonable endeavors to publish and maintain accurate prices and information for Travel Services through the Spotnana Services and through our agents. Travel Vendors provide us with the price, availability and other information related to the Travel Services. In the event, however, that a Travel Service is listed or provided to us at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to typographical error or other error in pricing or service information received from a Travel Vendor, we retain the right to refuse or cancel any purchase for such Travel Service, whether or not the order has been confirmed and/or your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your purchase is canceled because of incorrect Travel Vendor information, we will promptly issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge.

3.5.2. Travel Services involving airline and cruise components are subject to Travel Vendors’ supplemental price increases that may be imposed by the Travel Vendor and/or government, even after you have completed your purchase. You hereby consent to any such price increases and authorize your credit or debit card to be used for them.

3.5.3. We expressly reserve the right to correct any pricing errors for Travel Services and/or on pending reservations made under an incorrect price. In such an event, if available, we will offer you the opportunity to keep your pending reservation at the correct price or we will cancel your reservation without penalty.

3.5.4. Our prices are contractual tariffs. No claim relating to the price of a Trip will be considered once the reservation is effective. All prices are quoted in US dollars (USD) unless otherwise denoted. Rates for Travel Services are based on tariffs and exchange rates in effect at the time of posting and are subject to change prior to departure. Substantial changes in tariffs, exchange rates, the price of fuel, services and labor sometimes increase the cost of Travel Service arrangements significantly.

4. Cancellation Substitution, Alteration Policies; Insurance

4.1. Cancellations or Modifications attributable to Authorized User: Once ticketed, the name on the ticket cannot be changed and tickets are non-transferable. Cancellations, substitutions, no-shows, and/or alteration of terms of any Travel Services purchased vary by Travel Vendor. Your reservation/purchase may be non-refundable and non-cancellable. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the applicable Travel Vendor Terms prior to purchase, so we urge you to read them carefully. You will be responsible for any and all charges and fees levied by the Travel Vendor in connection with any such cancellation, substitution, no-show, or other alteration (each, a “Change”).  In case of any such Change, Spotnana will refund to the Authorized User the corresponding booking amounts less any costs applied by the Travel Vendor for such Change (provided that said Travel Vendor expressly allows and previously reimburses such amount to Spotnana). In this regard, Spotnana may, at its sole discretion, refund the corresponding amount, if applicable, by wire transfer to the Client/Authorized User’s bank account or by means of discounting such amount from the next invoice to be issued to the Client/Authorized User. Upon such receipt, you are responsible for promptly reviewing your reservation/purchase confirmation/itinerary for accuracy and immediately notifying us of any errors. If your reservation/purchase is with multiple Travel Vendors, and if cancellation is permitted by one Travel Vendor and not the other, you will not be refunded for the portion of your trip for which cancellations are not permitted and you will be required to cancel your entire trip.

4.2. Cancellations and/or Alterations not attributable to Authorized User: Due to Force Majeure or Travel Vendor requests, changes and/or cancellations may need to be made to confirmed purchases. While we always endeavor to avoid changes and cancellations, we must reserve the right to do so and to substitute alternative arrangements of comparable monetary value. Spotnana reserves the right to adjust the Travel Service or change the modes of ground and air travel, change the quality of accommodations or otherwise change the Travel Service without prior notice. We accept no liability for loss of enjoyment as a result of these changes. Any additional charges incurred arising from the postponement, delay or extension of a Trip or adjustment to the itinerary due to Force Majeure will be either the Client or an Authorized User’s responsibility. Spotnana will attempt to provide Authorized Users’ with advanced notice of any changes to a Trip or Travel Services to the extent commercially possible.

4.3. Insurance: For your protection, we strongly recommend that Client ensures that Authorized Users have access to trip cancellation and travel accident insurance. Please note that, unless an Authorized User buys a cancel-for-any-reason policy, most policies have a specific clause stating they do not cover epidemics and pandemics, especially when travel warnings are in place. Spotnana will not be responsible for a Client or any Authorized User’s election to not purchase travel insurance or for any denial of claim by travel insurance as it relates to COVID-19 or any other claim under the policy.

5. Issuing Travel Documents. Travel documents will only be sent to the purchasing Authorized User who places the order (including, without limitation, this Spotnana Travel Addendum). Should any Authorized User change its email address, phone number, or address before the departure date, such Authorized User is required to advise us of the change. If an Authorized Traveler provides incorrect information to Spotnana, we do not assume any liability if the purchase is adversely affected or made impossible by the non-receipt of travel documents.

6. Passports, Visas, Reciprocity Fees, and Travel Health Requirements. An Authorized User assumes full and complete responsibility for checking and verifying any and all passport, visa, vaccination, or other entry requirements of the destination and connecting points, and all conditions regarding health, safety, security, political stability, and labor or civil unrest at such destination with respect to Trips booked on the Spotnana Platform. Many countries have restrictions or rules relating to travel documents, including the requirement that a traveler’s passport must be valid for six months or more after date of entry or the consent of both parents with respect to travel of a minor. Some countries will not admit persons convicted of a crime. Spotnana is not responsible for verifying, checking or complying with any such requirements.

7. Credit Card Merchant. We also strongly recommend that you use a credit card for your purchase of Travel Services, so that you can exercise your rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act if you do not receive the Travel Services you purchased. However, if we are the credit card merchant, our role is to facilitate the sale, collect funds on your behalf, and remit those funds to the applicable Travel Vendors. If the Travel Vendors do not provide the Travel Services, your only recourse would be against the applicable Travel Vendor, and you agree not to initiate a chargeback against us.

8. CLAIMS DEADLINE — YOU AGREE TO PRESENT ANY CLAIMS AGAINST US RELATING TO TRAVEL SERVICES WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER YOUR TRIP ENDS AND TO FILE SUIT WITHIN ONE YEAR OF THE INCIDENT, AND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS EXPRESSLY LIMITS THE APPLICABLE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS TO ONE YEAR.

9. The EU Package Travel Directive (Directive (EU) 2015/2302 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015 on package travel and linked travel arrangements) does not apply to travel purchased through Spotnana on the basis that the Agreement is a general agreement for the arrangement of business travel.

10. Seller of Travel Registration Information.

10.1. California Registration Info: Spotnana is registered with the California Department of Justice, registration number: 2146606. Registration as a seller of travel does not constitute approval by the State of California.

10.2. This business is a participant in the Travel Consumer Restitution Corporation (TCRC). You, the passenger, may request reimbursement from TCRC if you’re owed a refund of more than $50 for transportation or travel services which was not refunded in a timely manner by a seller of travel who was registered and participating in the TCRC at the time of sale. The maximum amount which may be paid by the TCRC to any one passenger is the total amount paid on behalf of the passenger to the Seller of Travel, not to exceed $15,000. *Please note that if you were outside of California at time of purchase, such transactions are not covered by the TCRC. A claim must be submitted to the TCRC within six months after the scheduled completion date of the travel. A claim must include sufficient information and documentation to prove your claim and a $35 processing fee. You must agree to waive your right to other civil remedies against a registered participating seller of travel for matters arising out of a sale for which you file a claim with the TCRC, if you were located in California at the time of the sale. You may request a claim form by writing to: Travel Consumer Restitution Corporation, P.O. Box 6001, Larkspur, CA 94977-6001; or by faxing a request to: 415-927-7698.
