NOTICE: These Terms of Services apply to the website located at www.elcamino.travel (“Our website” or “Site”), and all associated web pages linked to it by El Camino Travel, Inc. dba El Camino Travel (also “El Camino Travel,” “We,” “Us” or “Our”), including, but not limited to, the Clubhouse. These Terms of Services (the “Terms” or “Terms of Services”) are legally binding. It is you the user’s or visitor’s (also “You” or “Your”) responsibility to read these Terms of Services carefully prior to purchase, use, or access of Our website and/or any of Our Services, including without limitation, our searching, planning, and booking services (collectively, the “Services”). BY USING OUR WEBSITE, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS; IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE OUR WEBSITE OR SERVICES.
Please note that the Section “Disputes with El Camino Travel” contains an arbitration clause and class action waiver. By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve all disputes through binding individual arbitration, which means that you waive any right to have those disputes decided by a judge or jury, and that you waive your right to participate in class actions, class arbitrations, or representative actions.
These Terms incorporate the following additional policies whenever you use the Services or access the Site:
Clubhouse Community Guidelines
Subject to Your compliance with these Terms, We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable privilege to enter and use Our website. We may revoke this privilege at any time for any reason.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
This Site is owned and operated by El Camino Travel, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
You must be at least sixteen years of age to use Our website. Use of this Site is at Your own risk. We host Our website on a reputable platform and take reasonable efforts to maintain and host the Site. However, We make no explicit representations or warranties as to the safety of Your individual use of the Site. The Terms are subject to change at any time.
User Accounts and Registration
To access certain features of Our website and/or Services, You may need to create a user account and provide certain personal information, such as Your name, email address, and a password. You agree that the information You provide during account registration is accurate and complete, and You will keep Your account information up to date. You may be asked to provide additional information to verify Your identity.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Your account login information and for all activities that occur under Your account. You agree to immediately notify Us of any unauthorized use, or suspected unauthorized use, of Your account or any other breach of security. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from Your failure to comply with this section.

Upon receiving Your request, We will remove Your personal information from Our active databases, unless retention is necessary for legal or legitimate business purposes. However, residual data may remain in our archives and records or otherwise as indicated below under User Content.
Fees
Subscription fees for the Services are recurring payments (except where identified as otherwise). The term may be monthly or annual, as described in the course of the transaction. Your subscription begins upon payment of a first installment of subscription fees. The subscription renews monthly or annually as applicable upon the payment of automatically recurring subscription fees. Monthly or annual fees are charged on the same day of the month that the subscription began. (For example, if a monthly subscription began on the 29th, 30th, or 31st day of a month, then membership will renew on the last day of any month that doesn’t have that many days.)
Payment
El Camino Travel accepts payment via the current payment method indicated at time of purchase, which may include credit card, Paypal, Square, Affirm, and any other form of payment that we make available to you from time to time. You agree to abide by any relevant terms of service or other legal agreement whether with El Camino Travel, PayPal, Square, Affirm, or another third party, that governs your use of a given payment processing method. Prices for the Services may change at any time, and El Camino Travel does not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price reduction or promotional offering. You agree to pay for any Services that you order (except during a free trial period, if any, in existence and that you are eligible for). El Camino Travel will charge your credit card or other form of payment for the price listed on the relevant Services offer, along with any additional amounts relating to applicable taxes, bank fees and currency fluctuations. If you purchase any automatically renewing subscriptions, you agree that El Camino Travel will charge the payment method on file on the first day of each billing period for the relevant subscription, and if the payment method on file becomes invalid due to an expired credit card or other similar reason and we are unable to charge you on the next billing period, El Camino Travel reserves the right to immediately revoke your access to any Services you have ordered until you update your payment method. If you fail to update your payment method within a reasonable amount of time, El Camino Travel may cancel your subscription.
Taxes
If El Camino Travel is required to collect or pay any taxes in connection with your purchase of the Services, such taxes will be charged to you at the time of each purchase transaction or other appropriate time as applicable. Additionally, if required by law, you are responsible for reporting and paying certain taxes in connection with your purchase and use of the Services. Such taxes may include duties, customs fees, or other taxes (other than income tax), along with any related penalties or interest, as applicable to your purchase or country of purchase.
Cancellations and Refunds
You can cancel your access to the Services at any time. If you purchase a subscription to the Services that automatically renews, you may cancel the subscription any time before the end of the current billing period and the cancellation will take effect on the next billing period, except as otherwise communicated to you by El Camino Travel. You will retain access to the Services from the time you cancel until the start of the next billing period, and you will not receive a refund or credit for any remaining days in your current billing period. The subscription fees paid are final and nonrefundable, unless otherwise determined by El Camino Travel. If El Camino Travel reasonably determines that a user has violated these Membership Terms of Services, El Camino Travel may immediately terminate the subscription and your access to the Services without notice and without refund. You may cancel and manage your subscription here at the Memberful account you create while signing up for the subscription. You may submit any refund request through the Memberful portal by emailing community@elcamino.travel.
Free Trial
El Camino Travel may offer free trials to new Service users. If you initiate a subscription to the Services through a free trial offer, you will receive free access to such Services for the duration of the free trial period. At the end of the applicable free trial period, you will be charged the price of the subscription and will continue to be charged until you cancel your subscription. To avoid any charges, you must cancel before the end of the free trial period.

Your use of the Services must be only for personal, non-commercial use. You agree not to use the Service, in whole or in part in connection with any public presentation even if no fee is charged (except where such use would not constitute a copyright infringement). You are receiving a non-exclusive license to access the Services and all rights, title and interest in the Services (including any content offered through the Services) not expressly granted to you in these Terms are reserved by El Camino Travel and its licensors.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT
Before You register with Our website or make any purchases therefrom, You will be asked to consent to Our Privacy Policy, Booking Terms & Conditions, and Traveler Values. If You have consented, or once You do consent, the terms of the Privacy Policy together with these Terms, the information contained herein constitutes the entire agreement between site users and Our company relating to the use of this website.
DISPUTES WITH EL CAMINO TRAVEL
If you’re upset with us, let us know, and hopefully we can resolve your issue. But if we can’t, then these rules will govern any legal dispute involving our Services:
Governing Law: The Terms are governed by the laws of the Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules, and the laws of the United States of America. These laws will apply no matter where in the world you live, but if you live outside of the United States, you may be entitled to the protection of the mandatory consumer protection provisions of your local consumer protection law.
Arbitration
You and El Camino Travel agree that any dispute or claim arising from or relating to the Terms shall be finally settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms you can find the AAA Rules here), unless otherwise required by law. Arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the dispute, will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with those rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction.
For EU merchants, if any dispute arises in connection with the Terms, the parties should first try to resolve the dispute through the complaints procedure published here. In addition, the dispute may be referred by either party to the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (“CEDR”) for mediation. The Parties agree to enter into mediation to settle a good faith dispute and will do so in accordance with the CEDR’s mediation procedures. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties within 14 days of notice of the dispute, the mediator will be nominated by CEDR. To initiate the mediation a party must give notice in writing to the other party to the dispute, referring the dispute to mediation. A copy of the referral should be sent to CEDR.
Any arbitration or mediation under the Terms will take place on an individual basis. You understand that by agreeing to the Terms, you and El Camino Travel are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action lawsuit. Class arbitrations shall only be available if requested by either party under its Class Action Arbitration Rules and approved by the arbitration entity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall have the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, pending a final decision by the arbitrator or mediator. You may instead assert your claim in “small claims” court, but only if your claim qualifies, your claim remains in such court, and your claim remains on an individual, non-representative, and non-class basis.
Costs of Arbitration: Payment for any and all reasonable AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules, and in the case of CEDR, its rules. If the value of your claim does not exceed $10,000 USD, El Camino Travel will pay for the reasonable filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. For mediation through CEDR, the parties will pay their share of mediation costs, and under certain conditions such fees may be refundable to you, depending on the outcome of the mediation.
Forum: We’re based in the District of Columbia, so any legal action against El Camino Travel related to our Services must be filed and take place in the District of Columbia. For all actions under the AAA Rules, the proceedings may be filed where your residence is, or in the District of Columbia, and any in-person hearings will be conducted at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties taking into account their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. For any actions not subject to arbitration or mediation, you and El Camino Travel agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state or federal court located in District of Columbia.
Government Exception: If you are a government agent or entity in the United States using the Services in your official capacity, and you are legally unable to agree to the clauses in this section, then those clauses do not apply to you. In that case, the Terms and any action related to the Terms will be governed by the laws of the United States (without reference to conflict of laws) and, in the absence of federal law and to the extent permitted under federal law, the laws of the District of Columbia
Modifications
If we make any changes to this “Disputes with El Camino Travel” section after the date you last accepted the Terms, those changes will not apply to any claims filed in a legal proceeding against El Camino Travel prior to the date the changes became effective. El Camino Travel will notify you of substantive changes to the “Disputes with El Camino Travel” section at least 30 days prior to the date the change will become effective. If you do not agree to the modified terms, you may send El Camino Travel a written notification (including email) or close your account within those 30 days. By rejecting a modified term or permanently closing your account, you agree to arbitrate any disputes between you and El Camino Travel in accordance with the provisions of this “Disputes with El Camino Travel” section as of the date you last accepted the Terms, including any changes made prior to your rejection. If you reopen your closed account or create a new account, you agree to be bound by the current version of the Terms.
