Resolution of Disputes
- Except for resolution of disputes concerning TripCase’s Safe Harbor Program which is outlined in TripCase’s Privacy Statement, these Terms shall govern any disputes between You and Us. If a dispute does arise between You and Us, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, You and We agree that we shall resolve any action, claim or controversy at law or equity (a “Claim”) that arises out of your use of the Services, these Terms, or the parties’ relationship in connection with the Services or these Terms in accordance with one of the subsections below or as otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing. Before resorting to these alternatives, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution by contacting customer service, since most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and satisfactorily in this manner.
- Submission to Jurisdiction in Texas. You agree that unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing or as described in the “Mandatory Arbitration” subsection below, any Claims shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in Tarrant County, the State of Texas, United States of America. Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, any Claim must be brought within two (2) years from the date on which such Claim arose or accrued.
- Mandatory Arbitration. Any Claim where the total amount in controversy is less than US$10,000, shall be resolved via binding arbitration initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. AAA and the parties must comply with the following rules: (a) if either party requests an in-person hearing the process shall be governed by subsection (c) below, otherwise, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (b) the arbitration shall be conducted by an arbitrator in Tarrant County, Texas who is approved or otherwise affiliated with the AAA; (c) if either party requests an in-person hearing, the arbitrator shall decide whether a hearing is necessary or whether the arbitration shall proceed as described in subsection (a) above. If the arbitrator deems that a hearing is necessary, the hearing shall occur at a mutually agreed upon location, or, if the parties are unable to agree on a location, at a location that is reasonably convenient to You and is selected by the arbitrator. Either party may elect to participate in an in-person hearing by phone, unless the arbitrator decides otherwise (d) the arbitrator may award injunctive or declaratory relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim; (e) unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding; and (f) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If subparagraph (e) above is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Mandatory Arbitration provision shall be null and void. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court in Tarrant County, Texas.
- Improperly Filed Claims. All Claims You bring against Us must be resolved in accordance with this “Resolution of Disputes” section. All Claims filed or brought contrary to this “Resolution of Disputes” section shall be considered improperly filed and void.

- Attorney’s Fees. If we take any action to enforce these Terms, and such Claim is not resolved pursuant to the “Mandatory Arbitration” subsection above, we will be entitled to recover from you, and you agree to pay, all reasonable attorney’s fees and any costs of litigation, in addition to any other relief, at law or in equity, to which we may be entitled. Moreover, you agree that we may debit your credit or debit card or charge you for any such amounts.
- Injunctive Relief. You acknowledge that a violation or attempted violation of any of these Terms will cause such damage to us as will be irreparable, the exact amount of which would be impossible or difficult to ascertain and for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, you agree that we shall be entitled as a matter of right to seek an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining such violation or attempted violation of these Terms by you, or your affiliates, partners, or agents, without having to post a bond or other security.
