4. Payments and Refunds

  • Billing: You agree to provide accurate payment information. All prices are subject to change without notice.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties ("As-Is")

The Site and all digital itineraries are provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Local disclaims all warranties, express or implied.

7. Indemnification

8. Force Majeure

We shall not be held responsible for any failure to perform our obligations (such as server downtime or delivery delays) due to causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, strikes, or telecommunications failures.

9. Dispute Resolution & Class Action Waiver

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

  • Governing Law: These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of [Insert State], without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

  • Initial Dispute Resolution: Most concerns can be resolved quickly by contacting us. We both agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute directly through consultation before initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

  • Class Action Waiver: You and The Local agree that any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither you nor The Local will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action, representative action, or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity.

10. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect.
