By using the Site you agree to these terms and conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms and conditions, you must not use the Site. We reserve the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time. All amended terms automatically take effect when these Terms & Conditions are updated. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes to the Terms and Conditions will mean you accept those changes. Please return to this page periodically to review any changes.

SAFE SHOPPING GUARANTEE

CheapOair.ca values your trust. We seek to use reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures to protect your personal information within our organization. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of your account has been compromised), please immediately notify customer service at 1-800-525-0400 or feedback@CheapOair.ca so that we have an opportunity to try to address your concerns.

General Disclaimer

CheapOair shall not be liable for failure of travel service suppliers, including but not limited to airlines, hotels, cruise lines, railroads, car rental agencies, tour operators and consolidators, vacation package providers, activities suppliers, Traveler Assist Classic service providers, Travel Protection providers and distributors (all such suppliers referred to within these terms and conditions as a “Partner Travel Supplier” or “Partner Travel Suppliers”) to provide the services or property offered by such suppliers in conjunction with CheapOair through this website (all such services or property, together with any related CheapOair activities, referred to within this website as a “Travel Service” or Travel Services”). In the event that a Partner Travel Supplier defaults prior to providing the Travel Service to you for which payment has been made, the sole recourse for refund shall be with the defaulting Partner Travel Supplier, from insurance covering such defaults if any or from other responsible third party unless such was caused by CheapOair. CheapOair, in facilitating Partner Travel Suppliers’ provision of Travel Services to you, does not guarantee or ensure the Travel Services to be provided by any such Partner Travel Supplier, the financial position of such Partner Travel Suppliers or the reimbursement to you from any loss experienced as a result of the financial condition of such Partner Travel Suppliers. In those situations in which a Partner Travel Supplier defaults prior to providing Travel Services you may pursue any recourse against that Partner Travel Supplier for refund, which may be permitted by law or statute.

Except as expressly stated herein, CheapOair assumes no responsibility for actions relating to Travel Services beyond the control of CheapOair or its employees. CheapOair is not responsible or liable for any act, error, omission, injury, loss, accident, damage, delay, non-performance, irregularity, or any consequence thereof, which may be occasioned through neglect, or default or any other act or inaction of any Partner Travel Supplier of Travel Services. CheapOair shall not be liable for any fluctuation in Charges or change in schedule or equipment or accommodations for any Travel Service, which occurs subsequent to payment for such Travel Service.

We act as an intermediary or as an agent for providers of travel-related products and/or services by promoting, selling or accepting reservations or bookings for such products and/or services (such as air and ground transportation, hotel accommodations, meals, tours, cruises, travel insurance, etc.). CheapOair works with Partner Travel Suppliers to provide Travel Services to you, pursuant to agreements between CheapOair, Partner Travel Suppliers, and each of their respective affiliates. CheapOair has no control over and assumes no liability for the actions of Partner Travel Suppliers with whom it collaborates with to provide you with Travel Services. The term “Partner Travel Supplier” is colloquially used to reflect our collaborative business relationship with such Partner Travel Suppliers, which may involve us acting as agent on behalf of these suppliers when collaborating to provide Travel Services to you. Nothing in this Agreement operates to or is intended to disclose, create or suggest the existence of a partnership or joint venture of any kind between CheapOair and Partner Travel Suppliers.

Once Travel Services like airline tickets have been issued there may be a Charge involved for refunds. We do not have control over printed prices on the tickets, although some tickets may have BT (Bulk fare) printed on them, some may have a specific value on them, which may be different (lower or higher) than the Fare collected.

Discounts offered may vary depending on a number of factors including Airlines utilized, class of service, destination, time of year (low, mid or high season), advance notice provided, minimum stay requirements fulfilled and flight load.

CheapOair does not guarantee, endorse, validate or promote other advertiser products and services that are advertised on this web Site.

PRICE MATCH PROMISE

When booking with CheapOair.ca, we want you to be confident that you have found a great deal.

That’s why, if you see a lower price (including taxes and fees) for the same flight itinerary offered and available for booking on a Major OTA Competitor’s site the same day of your booking up to 10 PM EST, we will match that lower price by refunding the difference in price, or if you prefer, we will cancel your booking with us for a full refund.

That’s our Price Match Promise (“PMP”).

Questions? Here are some answers:

  • What does “the same itinerary” mean?

    The same itinerary means that each and every element of each offer matches; airline(s), flight number(s), itinerary, date(s), number of customers and seat type.

  • What does “offered and available for booking” mean?

    It means that the itinerary you found is actually live on a Major OTA Competitor’s site and available to be booked by the general public at the time you contact us, as determined by our customer service representatives.

  • What is a “Major OTA Competitor”?

    For purposes of the PMP, it means the Canadian English-language websites of Expedia.ca, flightnetwork.com and Flighthub.com

  • How do I notify you that I want to invoke the PMP?

    To invoke the PMP, all you need to do is contact us at pmp@cheapoair.ca with your CheapOair.ca booking number and all of the key details of the lower priced itinerary (airline(s), flight(s), itinerary, date(s), number of customers and seat type), along with documentation such as the exact URL or screen shots that will enable our customer service representatives to verify that such itinerary satisfies the terms and conditions of the PMP. Customer service must be able to locate the lower fare from the information you provide; we reserve the right to deny any claims that cannot be reasonably verified, or for which you have provided incomplete information. Once our representative has verified that the PMP applies, you will be given the choice to either keep your itinerary with a refund of the difference in total price, or cancel your booking with us for a full refund.

  • Are there exceptions that apply to the PMP?

    The PMP does not apply to fares offered on membership program websites, corporate discounts or rates; group, charter, rewards program, incentive, meeting, convention, or consolidator fares; or fares available only by using a coupon or other promotion not offered to the general public. Military, student, government, tour operator, bulk, vacation package or "Web Only" fares are excluded. The PMP does not apply to “opaque” tickets (where the airline booking details are unknown until after purchase) or tickets issued under a “bidding” or “auction” model. Fare errors are also excluded.

CANCEL AND EXCHANGE

All airline tickets are fully non-refundable. In certain cases where the Airline may allow cancellations, a credit may be available for future ticket purchase with applicable Charge and a Fare difference if any, with travel valid on the same airline. Usually the credit is valid with time constraints and a specific expiration date and should be discussed with the customer service agent. All such bookings where the cancellation may be permitted must be cancelled prior to the scheduled departure time of the first flight segment by calling our customer service agent. We do not guarantee any cancellation. A cancellation fee of CAD 50 per person per ticket must be paid to us as Our Fee at the time of canceling the booking. We retain this Charge. The credit will be held for a limited time period, please ask the customer service agent for the specific date by when you must use this credit or you will lose the credit amount. When you are ready to make the new booking, you will have to pay an additional Charge equal to the Fare difference (if any), Our Fee (if applicable) and/or the Partner Travel Supplier’s Fees. All such changes are governed by the airlines’ rules and regulations, CheapOair does not provide any representations or guarantees on changes or Charges. If you are cancelling the booking and applying for a refund then please read our Refunds Policy. Please read more about Change policy if you wish to exchange the tickets for new dates or routing.

Domestic Travel = US and CANADA

No additional representation is made for our activities related to cancellations and exchanges except that an agent will assist you in locating your desired new flights and attempt to re-book the new flights based on availability and other factors.

CANCEL AND REFUND

All Charges including Our Fees for Airline tickets, hotels, pre-paid Car rentals and vacation packages are NON-REFUNDABLE. Travel Protection is refundable within 10 days of purchase if travel has not commenced and you have called our customer service center to cancel. All cancellations must be done over the phone only.

  1. If you have applied for a cancellation and refund with us and if the fare rules provide for cancellation and refunds
  2. If you are not a "no show" (most "no show" bookings are in-eligible for any waiver from suppliers for refund processing)
  3. If we are able to secure waivers from suppliers to process this cancellation and refund

We are still unable to provide a specific time line it may take for this refund to be processed. All refund requests are processed in a sequential format. Once you have provided our customer service agent with your cancellation request, we will then send you an email notification that your request has been received. This notification does not automatically qualify you for a refund. This only provides you with an acknowledgement of your request and provides you with a tracking number. Upon receipt of your request we will work with our Partner Travel Suppliers such as airlines, hotels, car-rental companies to generate a waiver based on airline and other Partner Travel Suppliers’ rules and we will then notify you of the Partner Travel Supplier’s decision. Please note that we are dependent on the Partner Travel Suppliers for receiving the refunds. Once the refund has been approved by the Partner Travel Suppliers it may take additional time for this to appear on your credit card statement. Generally, you will pay a Charge for a refund equal to any Partner Travel Suppliers’ Fee charged plus Our Fee ranging from CAD 50.00 – CAD 300.00 (CAD Fifty to CAD Three Hundred). All Our Fees for refunds are charged on per-passenger, per-ticket basis. Our Fees will only be assessed if a refund has been authorized by the Partner Travel Supplier or a waiver has been received and when the airline/ Partner Travel Supplier rules permit such refunds. If such refund is not processed by the Partner Travel Supplier, we will refund you Our Fees that may have been charged to you for such processing. All Partner Travel Suppliers will charge a Partner Travel Suppliers’ fee for refund. This entire process may take 60-90 days from receipt of your request to receiving credit on your statement.

Cancellation Password – For you security, when requesting CheapOair to cancel a booking on your behalf, our agents will send you an email with a unique Cancellation Password to the e-mail you entered when the booking was created.

Please communicate the Cancellation Password to our agents when asked, in order to complete your cancellation request. Depending on your booking, you may complete your cancellation via the link provided in the email we will send in response to your request.

If you cannot access your email and/or communicate your Cancellation Password, we may not be able to process your request for cancellation.

The Cancellation Password will expire within 3 hours of issuance. If your Cancellation Password expired before we were able to process your request please call us back to obtain a new Cancellation Password.

CHEAPOAIR CANADA REWARDS

Welcome to the CheapOair ("CheapOair," "we," "our," "us") Rewards Program (the "Program"). As a member ("you", "your"), you will be able to earn CheapOair Rewards Points ("Points") every time you make a qualifying purchase from CheapOair. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms and Conditions, you must opt out of joining the Program and not use any Points.

By enrolling in the Program member and you agree to the following:

Eligibility

Only residents of Canada who have reached the age of majority in their province/territory of residence, and have provided CheapOair with a valid email address, are eligible to become Program members and earn Points. No corporation, trust, partnership, household or other entity may be a Program member. You automatically become a member when you create an account on CheapOair unless you opt out of the Program. The Program is void if prohibited by law in the province/territory of the customer’s residence, and subject to change as may be necessary to comply with such laws or regulations.

Your Account

When you sign up, your Program account (“Account”) will automatically be tied to your email address or a unique Program account number and you will be automatically enrolled in the Program. When you are logged into the Site you will be able to see the total amount of Points in your account, when the Points were earned as well as what Points have been redeemed.

You must have a valid email address to become a Program member. All communications from CheapOair to members relating to the Program will be made via email. You will not be able to unsubscribe to Program-related email notifications but may unsubscribe from promotional email via the unsubscribe link at the bottom of such emails. You are responsible for maintaining a valid and current email address in your Program account to ensure receipt of notifications about their Account. You must advise CheapOair immediately of any change of address or email address by updating your Account profile online.

Collecting Points

CheapOair awards Points to the Account through which a Qualifying Purchase is made. “Qualifying Purchase” means a Points-eligible booking which has been completed through cheapoair.ca or over the phone using CheapOair’s toll free number. For every dollar (C$1) you spend with CheapOair when you book a flight, hotel or rental car, you will earn 1 (one) Point. For every dollar (C$1) you spend with CheapOair.ca when you book ancillary offerings such as flight upgrades and baggage fees that are purchased in the same transaction as your flights, you will earn two (2) Points. Qualifying purchases can be made online at cheapoair.ca or over the phone using CheapOair’s toll free number. No Points will be provided for any other travel items or post-booking purchases of ancillary offerings such as flight upgrades and baggage fees. Except where required by law or provided for in these Terms and Conditions, Points have no cash value. Points have no exchange rate to any market currency. Points earned for partial or full refunds, refused charges or other cancelled transactions will be reversed.

CheapOair will attempt to credit your Account with the awarded Points on a timely basis, usually thirty (30) days after the booked travel was completed. Your Tier status will be updated (if applicable) when your points are credited to your account. Points are not earned on bookings that are cancelled. However, you have the responsibility of making sure that your Points are properly credited. Please retain copies of your purchases for your records. Any claim for Points not credited accurately must be received by us within six (6) months of the date of claimed accrual of such Points.

In instances where the logged in account is different from the billing email, the ClubMiles points will be awarded to the logged in account.

For clarity, where a purchase is made in whole via redemption of the Points, the portion of such purchase that includes a Points redemption will not be included in the total of the Qualifying Purchase. Points you earn upon making a Qualifying Purchase cannot be redeemed for that purchase and can only be redeemed for a subsequent Qualifying Purchase. In the event of any ambiguity, uncertainty or dispute as to whether any particular itinerary or part thereof is a Qualifying Purchase, CheapOair shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine whether such travel is a Qualifying Purchase.

You may also earn Points through offers, promotions or incentives that may be offered by CheapOair from time to time. CheapOair reserves the right to make offers on specific dates, times or routes and to modify such offers, at its sole discretion.

Points Expiration

Points will not expire as long as a Qualifying Purchase was made through your CheapOair Rewards Program Account at least once every two (2) years. All Points on your Account shall expire if no Qualifying Purchase was made through your Account for the preceding two (2) year period. For the purposes of determining expiration, Points are earned on the date of the Qualifying Purchase.

Flights: The maximum savings from the redemption of Points on flights is Our Fees, excluding enhanced seat assignment fee, baggage service fee, and Our Fees charged post-ticketing. The redemption of Points does not apply to Super Saver Fares or vacation packages.
Add-ons: Points can be redeemed for up to 50% of the Add-on value. Redemption currently applies to following Add-ons:
• Travel Assist Classic
• Support Package (Premium Support or Supreme Support)
• Flexible Ticket

We may discontinue your membership and void or cancel your entire Points balance if any Points in your Account are issued, received, or redeemed through fraud or theft, or otherwise illegally, or not as authorized in these Terms and Conditions.

Member Obligations

You agree not to misuse Program privileges by conduct which is detrimental to us, including without limitation: attempting to accrue Points or redeem Points in a manner inconsistent with our policies or the intent of these Terms and Conditions; having multiple accounts; or participating in purchasing or redemption fraud. Points may not be shared or transferred, and are not divisible in case of separation or divorce.

CheapOair reserves the right to terminate the Program with six months’ notice, without compensation. This means that regardless of the number of Points you accumulate in the Program, your right to accumulate and redeem Points can be terminated six months after we give you notice.

If you reside in Quebec, we may change the Program as described above, and we will provide you notice at least 60 days before the amendment comes into effect. Such notice will be provided by posting the amended Terms and Conditions online at https://cheapoair.ca/rewards/, by sending you written notice using your email or mailing address (if you have provided us with such an address), and setting out the new clause, or the amended clause and how it read formerly, and the date on which the change will come into effect. Upon receipt of such notice, and if the amendment entails an increase in your obligations or a reduction in our obligations, you may refuse the amendment and rescind or cancel your participation in the Program without cost, penalty or cancellation indemnity, by sending us notice to that effect no later than 30 days after the amendment comes into force, at the address or email address indicated in the notice. You will then have 45 days to redeem any remaining Points you have accumulated. Any Points that are not redeemed after 45 days will be forfeited. If you do not exercise your right to rescind or cancel your participation in the Program by sending us notice no later than 30 days after the amendment comes into force, your continued participation in the Program at any time after such 30-day delay has expired will constitute your consent to be bound by the amendment. CheapOair reserves the right to terminate the Program with six months’ notice, without compensation. This means that regardless of the number of Points you accumulate in the Program, your right to accumulate and redeem Points can be terminated six months after we give you notice.

Payment, Taxes & Fees

In connection with facilitating your hotel transaction, the charge to your debit or credit card will include a charge for Taxes and Fees. This charge includes an estimated amount to recover the amount we pay to the hotel in connection with your reservation for taxes owed by the hotel including, without limitation, sales and use tax, occupancy tax, room tax, excise tax, value added tax and/or other similar taxes. In certain locations, the tax amount may also include government imposed service fees or other fees not paid directly to the taxing authorities but required by law to be collected by the hotel. The amount paid to the hotel in connection with your reservation for taxes may vary from the amount we estimate and include in the charge to you. The balance of the charge for Taxes and Fees is a fee we retain as part of the compensation for our services. The charge for Taxes and Fees varies based on a number of factors including, without limitation, the amount we pay the hotel and the location of the hotel where you will be staying, and will include profit that we retain.

For new reservation CheapOair will charge booking Fares - up to C$32 CAD per night, per room.

For changes/cancelations/refunds of hotel reservation, all CheapOair hotel reservation booking Fares are non-refundable. CheapOair will charge a Fare up to C$25 per room in addition to Partner Travel Supplier’s Fees, if any.

Except as described below, we are not the Partner Travel Supplier collecting and remitting taxes to the applicable taxing authorities. Our Partner Travel Suppliers, as vendors, include all applicable taxes in the amount billed to us and we pay over such amounts directly to the Partner Travel Suppliers. We are not a co-vendor associated with the Partner Travel Suppliers with whom we book or reserve our customer's travel arrangements. Taxability and the appropriate tax rate and the type of applicable taxes vary greatly by location.

For transactions involving hotels located within certain jurisdictions, the charge to your debit or credit card for Taxes and Fees includes a payment of tax that we are required to collect and remit to the jurisdiction for tax owed on amounts we retain as compensation for our services.

Please note that we are unable to facilitate a rebate of Canadian Goods and Services Tax ("GST") for customers booking Canadian hotel accommodations utilizing our services.

Currency Conversions are based on approximate exchange rates at the time of booking and should be used for an approximate guide only. These rates are approximate base room charges. Individual hotels collect payment for per night room tax, resort fees, and cleaning fees, which may be accessed on a daily basis. They also will collect for incidentals such as meals, movies, games, wet bar, parking, and phone calls.

RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND WE MAY HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.
Customer satisfaction is the foundation of our success. That is why, if a dispute arises between us, our goal is to resolve the dispute quickly in a fair and cost-effective way. Accordingly, before taking any other action, first reach out to us by contacting customer service at feedback@CheapOair.ca or 1-800-525-0400 so we have an opportunity to try to address your concerns. Otherwise, you and we agree that any dispute, claim or controversy between you and us, including our agents or any representatives acting on our behalf, arising out of or relating to your use of the Site, these Terms & Conditions, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or our relationship in connection with the Site or these or previous versions of these Terms & Conditions (each, a "Claim"), shall be resolved in accordance with one of the subsections of this Resolution of Disputes section below or as otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing.

GOVERNING LAW; CLAIMS
These Terms & Conditions and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, USA, exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules. 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. The preceding sentence does not apply to New Jersey residents.

WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY AND CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, AND PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. WE ARE ALSO EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, MASS, REPRESENTATIVE, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING, OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING, WITH RESPECT TO THE CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS PROVISION, WHETHER SUCH CLAIMS ARE SUBJECT TO MANDATORY ARBITRATION OR ARE BROUGHT IN ANY OTHER COURT OR TRIBUNAL, INCLUDING SMALL CLAIMS, AS SET FORTH BELOW. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE EXPRESSLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVED THESE RIGHTS. ANY DISPUTE ABOUT WHETHER A CLAIM IS BROUGHT AS A CLASS, MASS, REPRESENTATIVE, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING, OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING, MUST BE DECIDED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND MANDATORY ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT
For disputes or claims you have against Cheapoair, you must first give us an opportunity to resolve your claim by sending a written description of your claim to feedback@CheapOair.ca or 1-800-525-0400. You and we each agree to negotiate your claim in good faith. You agree that you may not commence any arbitration or court proceeding unless you and we are unable to resolve the claim within 60 days after we receive your claim description and you have made a good faith effort to resolve your claim directly with us during that time.

If we are unable to resolve your claim within 60 days despite those good faith efforts, then either you or we may start arbitration or small claims court proceedings.

Claims shall be resolved via binding arbitration initiated through AAA except for claims asserted on an individual basis that are properly filed in a small claims court.

For small claims court proceedings: if your claim falls within the jurisdiction of a small claims court, then either party may choose to take the claim to small claims court instead of arbitration. Either party may seek to have a claim resolved in small claims court in your county of residence or the small claims court in closest proximity to your residence, and you may also bring a claim in small claims court in New York County, the State of New York, USA. The parties may take their claims to small claims court without first filing with AAA. After a case is filed with AAA, but before the arbitrator is formally appointed to the case by AAA, a party can send a written notice to the opposing party and AAA that it wants the case decided by a small claims court. After receiving this notice, AAA will administratively close the case without further inquiry. Any dispute about whether a claim falls within the jurisdiction of a small claims court shall be resolved by that court, not by an arbitrator. In the event of any such dispute, the arbitration proceeding shall remain closed unless and until a decision by the small claims court that the claim is not within its jurisdiction.

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, except as set forth below, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. An arbitrator should apply the Terms & Conditions as a court would.

The arbitration will be governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) and the AAA Consumer Due Process Protocol, Statement of Principles, as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by AAA. The AAA Rules and Consumer Due Process Protocol, Statement of Principles are available online at www.adr.org/consumer or by calling AAA at 1-800-778-7879. If you initiate arbitration the only fee you shall be required to pay is US $200; all other costs will be borne by the Company, except in the event that the arbitrator determines that the claims were frivolous, the arbitrator may award to the prevailing party the costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred in connection with the arbitration, except that, in arbitrations proceeding in California, the arbitrator is not empowered to award the prevailing party the fees and costs it incurred in connection with the arbitration.

Notwithstanding the provision above with respect to applicable substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Terms & Conditions shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Secs. 1-16, the “FAA”) and any dispute about the interpretation of this arbitration clause shall be covered by the FAA. AAA and the parties must comply with the following rules: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator approved by or otherwise affiliated with AAA; (b) the party initiating the arbitration shall choose the form in which they would like the arbitration to be conducted: via telephone, online, solely based on written submissions, or at an in-person hearing; (c) notwithstanding the foregoing, if either party requests an in-person hearing: (i) the arbitrator shall decide whether a hearing is necessary or whether the arbitration should proceed via telephone, online or solely based on written submissions, (ii) 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 selected by the arbitrator and is reasonably convenient to all parties, and (iii) either party may elect to participate in an in-person hearing by phone, unless the arbitrator decides otherwise; (d) the arbitrator may not award any: (i) incidental, indirect or consequential damages, including damages for lost profits, or (ii) punitive or exemplary damages, except where permitted by statute, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damages described in subparagraphs (d)(i) and (d)(ii); (e) the arbitrator may award injunctive or declaratory relief only in favor of the party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's claim; and (f) 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.

The arbitrator shall decide all issues relating to jurisdiction and arbitrability and the interpretation, applicability, formation, existence, validity, scope or enforceability of this Mandatory Arbitration provision. Claims, if any, determined by the arbitrator not to be within the scope of this Mandatory Arbitration provision must be brought exclusively in a Federal or State court located in New York County, the State of New York, USA. If subparagraph (f) above is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Mandatory Arbitration provision shall be null and void. Judgment on the award issued by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This Mandatory Arbitration provision shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
