Membership, Subscriptions; Charges on Your Billing Account.
Clarus Direct, the provider of Travel Plus, charges you for your access to the Service using the billing information you provide (your "Billing Account") at the time of enrollment. By enrolling in Travel Plus, you authorize Clarus Direct to charge your Billing Account the fees then in effect for the Service. Clarus Direct reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes, even if it has already requested or received payment, and to update your information from available third-party sources.
Recurring Billing. Access to the Service requires a subscription and often consists of an initial period, where you can try the Services for free or an introductory trial, followed by recurring period charges authorized and agreed to by you at the time of your subscription. If your subscription has an initial and recurring payment feature, you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. To change or cancel your subscription at any time, go to Account Settings, or send your request to us using the “Contact Us” link on any page of the Site or by calling the Customer Service Department toll-free at 800-254-5597. Unless canceled, your subscription will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the subscription term originally selected, at the then-current non-promotional subscription rate. If you cancel a monthly subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you won't be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the monthly subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period. If you cancel your membership but want to become a member again, please contact [email protected] for assistance Your non-termination or continued use of the Service reaffirms that TravelPlus.com is authorized to charge your Payment Method on the recurring bases agreed to upon enrollment. TravelPlus.com may submit those charges for payment, and you will be responsible for such charges. TRAVELPLUS.COM MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU AFFIRMATIVELY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION OR NOTIFY US THAT YOU WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE TRAVELPLUS.COM REASONABLY COULD ACT. TO TERMINATE YOUR AUTHORIZATION, GO TO ACCOUNT SETTINGS, OR SEND YOUR REQUEST TO US USING THE “CONTACT US” LINK ON ANY PAGE OF THE SITE OR BY CALLING THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLL-FREE AT 800-254-5597. TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD, GO TO THE MEMBER SERVICES SECTION OF THE WEBSITE.
Current Information Required. YOU MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY TRAVELPLUS.COM IF YOUR PAYMENT METHOD IS CANCELED (E.G., DUE TO LOSS OR THEFT) OR IF YOU BECOME AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF SECURITY, SUCH AS THE UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR USE OF YOUR EMAIL OR PASSWORD. CHANGES TO SUCH INFORMATION CAN BE MADE AT THE MEMBER “UPDATE YOUR ACCOUNT” SECTION OF THE WEBSITE. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE TRAVELPLUS.COM ANY OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, YOU AGREE THAT TRAVELPLUS.COM MAY CONTINUE CHARGING YOU FOR ANY USE OF THE SERVICE UNDER YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT UNLESS WE HAVE EVIDENCE THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED YOUR SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE SERVICE.
Payment Method. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer, or other provider of your chosen Payment Method (the "Payment Method Provider"). If TravelPlus.com does not receive payment from your Payment Method Provider, you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand.
Change in Amount Authorized. If the amount to be charged to your Billing Account varies from the current rate set forth in your initial offer due to an increase in our current rates (other than due to the imposition or change in the amount of state sales taxes), TravelPlus.com shall provide notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge at least 10 days before the scheduled date of the transaction. Any agreement you have with your Payment Method Provider will govern your use of your Payment Method. You agree that TravelPlus.com may accumulate charges incurred and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each billing cycle.
Free and Introductory Trials and Other Promotions. Any free or introductory trial offer or other promotion that provides subscription access to the Service must be used within the specified time of the trial. Your trial period begins on the day that you accept the trial offer; for example, if you accept a 7-day trial offer, your full paid membership term will begin 7 days from the date that you accept the offer, unless you cancel. You must cancel your subscription before the end of the stated trial period in order to avoid being charged the full subscription fee set forth in the offer terms. All trial period and/or promotional offers that refer to a start time and/or deadline use Eastern Time Zone (ET) hours; e.g., if promotional material says that an offer will end at midnight on a certain date, that should be interpreted to mean that it will end at midnight ET on that date.

Dispute Resolution: Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes, Waiver of Class Arbitration, Governing Law, Enforcement of Arbitration Award, Severability, and Jurisdiction.
Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes: Any and all disputes, controversies, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action between you and TravelPlus.com (including but not limited to disputes related in any way to the interpretation and scope of this clause, Terms of Use, Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy, your use of the Site and Services, and the arbitrability of the dispute) must exclusively be settled through binding and confidential arbitration. THERE'S NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, PROCEDURES FOR ARBITRATION ARE SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT, AND REVIEW BY A COURT IS LIMITED.
Arbitration will be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) before one commercial arbitrator. The conduct of the arbitration will be subject to AAA's then-current rules and procedures for consumer arbitration (currently titled “Consumer Arbitration Rules”) (collectively “Rules and Procedures”). YOU SPECIFICALLY AGREE YOU ARE BOUND TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES IN ARBITRATION, AND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT. Payment of arbitration costs will be governed by AAA's fee schedule, unless you are able to show that your portion will be prohibitive as compared to litigation costs, in which case TravelPlus.com will pay as much of your arbitration costs as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to litigation costs. TravelPlus.com also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all arbitration costs imposed by AAA. Each party agrees to pay its own attorneys' fees and expenses unless there is a governing statutory provision or remedy under the governing law that requires the prevailing party to be paid attorneys' fees and expenses.
Information on AAA, its Rules and Procedures, and how to start arbitration can be found at http://www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the dispute arises from a violation of your or TravelPlus.com's intellectual property rights in any manner, both parties agree the non-infringing party may seek injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in a state or federal court consistent with the Governing Law and Jurisdiction subsections below, and both parties’ consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Additionally, you or TravelPlus.com may take the dispute to small claims court if the dispute qualifies for small claims court.
Waiver of Class Arbitration: To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, all disputes must be resolved by binding confidential arbitration on an individual basis. You expressly agree that no other disputes will be consolidated or joined with your dispute, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. You further acknowledge and agree any arbitrator assigned to a dispute must not and lacks the authority to conduct class arbitration proceedings or award class-wide relief and that such arbitrator must only hear your individual dispute. You acknowledge you are voluntarily and knowingly waiving any right to participate as a representative of any class of claimants pertaining to any dispute subject to arbitration, such that you will not be entitled to arbitrate any dispute as a representative plaintiff or claimant, class representative, class member, or private attorney general.
Governing Law: These Terms and all disputes between the parties will be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Connecticut, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Connecticut between Connecticut residents, without regard to any conflict of law provisions. Further, in any arbitration, both parties agree the arbitrator will honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized under Connecticut law.
Enforcement of Arbitration Award: The arbitrator's award will be final and binding on all parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Severability: If any portion of this Dispute Resolution section (with the exception of the Waiver of Class Arbitration subsection) is deemed invalid or unenforceable by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, the invalid or unenforceable portion will be severed and removed from the Terms, and the remaining portions (including the Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes subsection) will remain binding on you and TravelPlus.com. If any arbitrator deems the Waiver of Class Arbitration subsection to be invalid or unenforceable, then the entire Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes subsection will be null and void. Under such circumstances, you expressly acknowledge and agree that the Governing Law and Jurisdiction subsections apply to any disputes between you and TravelPlus.com, and both parties’ consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
Jurisdiction: If, in any dispute, the Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes subsection is determined to be invalid or unenforceable notwithstanding the Severability subsection above, or null and void by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, or if the dispute seeks injunctive remedies arising from a violation of your or TravelPlus.com's intellectual property rights, the dispute must be resolved by a state or federal court located in Hartford County, Connecticut, USA. The parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such Connecticut state or federal courts for the purposes of litigating any such dispute. This subsection does not apply disputes made in small claims court.
Miscellaneous.
These Terms and policies incorporated herein are the entire agreement between you and TravelPlus.com. They supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements between you and TravelPlus.com relating to your use of the Site or the Services. If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, it will not impact any other provision of these Terms, all of which will remain in full force and effect. The failure of TravelPlus.com to partially or fully exercise any rights, or the waiver of TravelPlus.com of any breach of these Terms by you, shall not prevent a subsequent exercise of such right by TravelPlus.com or be deemed a waiver by TravelPlus.com of any subsequent breach by you of the same or any other term of these Terms. The rights and remedies of TravelPlus.com under these Terms and any other applicable agreement between you and TravelPlus.com shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any such right or remedy shall not limit TravelPlus.com's right to exercise any other right or remedy.
THE TERMS OF USE SET FORTH ABOVE AND TERMS OF SERVICE MAY CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
