3. Terms of Sale.

3.1 Sales of Products to End Users Only

R.E.M. sells all-inclusive travel packages for outdoor enthusiasts in Slovenia, Italy, Austria and beyond (the “Products”) from the Site to Customers. You may not purchase the Products for further resale beyond the scope of this Agreement or for any other commercial or business purpose.

3.2 Pricing

Pricing for the Products is mostly custom-based and, therefore, once a travel package is created, the pricing shall be confirmed with the Customer. There may also be pre-defined Products that have a set itinerary and price which will also be available for purchase. We reserve the right to change prices for the Products at any time, and We do not provide price protection or refunds in the event of promotions or price decreases.

3.3 Deposit

Once the Customer has ordered a Product, they must pay a deposit of thirty percent (30%) of the Product price. The balance of the Product price must be paid no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Product’s initial date of activity, whether that means the first tour, flight departure, or so forth. No Product order shall be confirmed until the deposit is received by R.E.M.

3.4 Refund/Cancellation Policy

If You are dissatisfied with any Product provided to You by R.E.M., please contact [email protected] to state any complaints with such Product(s). We shall strive to work with you to modify or cancel any existing orders to the extent possible but please be aware that fees may apply both from R.E.M. and third-party vendors which we have contracted with (e.g., airlines, hotel accommodations, and so forth) and who will have their own Terms of Service which will apply to the Services as well. Currently, R.E.M. charges an administrative fee of ten percent (10%) for any cancellations or modifications to an existing Product order. Any resolution regarding refund to the Consumer will not exceed the amount the Customer paid for their returned Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in NO EVENT will a modification, cancellation or refund be honored or issued less than thirty (30) days prior to a purchased Product.

3.5 Payment Methods

R.E.M. accepts only valid credit card payments and bank transfers. Credit card payments are collected by a third party specializing in the collection, transmitting and storing of credit card information. This third party is PCI DSS compliant and all credit card and payment information is stored by said third party to ensure complete privacy and security of the Consumer’s payment credentials.

THE SITE, CONTENT, AND PRODUCTS ARE FURNISHED TO YOU “AS IS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR CONDITIONS, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, OF ANY KIND. R.E.M., ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS AND THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS (COLLECTIVELY THE “R.E.M.

6. Limitation of Liability.

6.1 IN NO EVENT SHALL R.E.M. BE LIABLE TO YOU, OR ANY THIRD PARTY, FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, RELIANCE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOSS OF VALUE OF THE PRODUCTS OR LOSS OF THE USE OF THE PRODUCTS, WHETHER BASED ON BREACH OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION, BREACH OF CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY), EVEN IF R.E.M.

7. Choice of Law; Dispute Resolution; Class Action Waiver.

7.1 Choice of Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regards to its conflict of laws principles.

7.2 Dispute Resolution

In the event that the R.E.M.’s customer service department is unable to resolve a complaint to Your satisfaction, We agree to resolve such disputes arising out of this Agreement (except as to those related to R.E.M.’s enforcement and protection of its intellectual property rights) through binding arbitration or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction.

All disputes, controversies or claims relating in any way, directly or indirectly, to R.E.M. will be administered by the Arbitration Association of America (“AAA”) in Kent County, Delaware, before one arbitrator and in accordance with the provisions of its then current Arbitration Rules, except as may be modified herein or by mutual agreement of the parties. In the event a dispute is submitted to arbitration, the arbitrator may award costs and reasonable attorney’s fees to the prevailing party.
The arbitration award shall be in writing and shall be final and binding on the parties. The award may include an award of costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements. Judgment upon award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the parties or their assets.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall prevent R.E.M. from seeking immediate injunctive relief from the AAA or a court of competent jurisdiction in the event of breach of this Agreement. In the event that injunctive relief is sought through the AAA, R.E.M. shall bear all costs of filing and initiating the arbitration; however, in the event the arbitrator finds in favor of R.E.M., You shall reimburse R.E.M. for these costs.

7.3 Class Action Waiver

Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. Neither You nor R.E.M. has the right to act as a class representative or participate as a member of a class of claimants with respect to any claim.

8. Electronic Communications.

Whenever You visit Our Site or send emails to Us, You are communicating with Us electronically. For that reason, You also consent to receive communications from Us electronically. We will communicate with You by email (if You have provided Your email address to Us), by posting notices on Our Site or by such other means as We may determine from time-to-time. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that We provide to You electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing to the extent permitted by applicable law.

9. General Terms.
