You may only use this Site to make legitimate reservations or purchases for you or for another person for whom you are legally authorized to act and you further agree that you will not use this Site for any other purposes, including without limitation, to make any speculative, false or fraudulent reservations, or any reservation in anticipation of demand.

For any reservations or other services for which fees may be charged, you agree to abide by the terms or conditions of purchase imposed, including, but not limited to, payment of all amounts when due and compliance with all rules and restrictions regarding availability of rates, or services. You shall be completely responsible for all charges, fees, duties, taxes, and assessments arising out of the use of this Site.

We reserve the right to cancel or modify reservations where it appears that a customer has engaged in fraudulent or inappropriate activity or under other circumstances where it appears that the reservations contain or resulted from a mistake or error, or from an attempt to circumvent MCR policies, terms or conditions.

Some rates have special eligibility requirements such as AAA or AARP membership. It is your responsibility to verify that you qualify for the rate that you have booked. Hotels are not obligated to honor rates if you do not qualify.

Any such Promotional Offer is subject to its specific terms, conditions and restrictions. Please refer to and read carefully the terms, conditions and restrictions of each Promotional Offer. MCR reserves the right to alter or withdraw any Promotional Offer at any time without notice. Each Promotional Offer is void where prohibited by law.

Currency Conversion

Currency rates are based on publicly available sources and should be used as guidelines only. Room rates are guaranteed only in hotel’s local currency. Currency quotes are not updated every day. The currency information supplied by this web site is believed to be accurate, but MCR and/or its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates do not warrant or guarantee such accuracy.

Wireless Reservations

Functionality is not guaranteed with all types of mobile devices in using this Site. In addition, the connection to a mobile device will not work if your device is not configured for SSL encryption. You should contact your service provider directly for technical assistance or any questions. Please note that security features vary by carrier/service provider and mobile device. Additional minutes/charges may apply and may be charged by your mobile carrier/service provider.

Keyless Entry

From time to time, keyless entry functionality may be available at a participating hotel to guests who have downloaded a keyless entry application, who have a valid reservation for a single guest room, and who have elected to use keyless entry. Valid reservations may not include certain reservations made through meeting planners, travel agents, wholesalers, and third-party websites.

In order to use keyless entry you must ensure that all necessary settings and required network communications are enabled and correct, including, without limitation, allowing and enabling push notifications to be sent to your mobile device. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that keyless entry can only be used when bluetooth functionality is enabled on your mobile device and that mobile keys can only be issued to or deleted from the approved application when your mobile device has network connectivity. If your mobile device does not have network connectivity at any time, you may only be able to use valid mobile keys already installed in the approved application. Mobile keys licensed to you will be specific to your mobile device and you will have to re-download the authorized application and re-register for keyless entry if you get a new mobile device.

If keyless entry is available to you, you acknowledge and agree that your guest room number for a valid reservation will be sent to your mobile device through the approved application and will be viewable to anyone with access to your mobile device through the approved application. You are solely responsible for restricting use of the approved application on your mobile device and keeping your mobile device secure—for example, by using passwords or other security functions necessary to restrict access to your mobile device or the approved application. You agree that you will not allow a third party to use your mobile device to access the approved application or use keyless entry on your mobile device.

If at any time while you have a reservation that can be accessed via keyless entry your mobile device is lost, stolen, or hacked, you agree to immediately contact the front desk of the hotel where the reservation was made and to follow any instructions that the hotel or that MCR provides, including, without limitation, deleting or consenting to the deletion of any mobile keys from your mobile device. Neither MCR nor any participating property will be responsible for any problems or claims that may result from your failure to adequate secure your device or to notify the applicable hotel in the event that your mobile device is lost, stole, or hacked or is otherwise no longer in your possession or control or is compromised.

You agree that you will only use keyless entry in connection with a valid reservation for the intended purposes of checking-in and of using your mobile device to access designated areas that you are lawfully permitted to access, including the guest room assigned to you. You shall not use keyless entry for any other purpose and you may only use keyless entry on a mobile device that you control.

Copyright and patent laws and international treaty provisions protect keyless entry software and mobile keys. Any reproduction or redistribution of the software or mobile keys is expressly prohibited by law and may result in severe civil and criminal penalties. Without limiting the foregoing, copying or reproduction of the software or mobile keys for further reproduction or redistribution is expressly prohibited. MCR grants to you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use keyless entry functionality on your mobile device while it is in your possession and under your control and only for use as otherwise set forth in these terms.

MCR’s policy does not allow us to accept or consider creative ideas, suggestions, or materials other than those that we have specifically requested. We employ a talented staff and consultants who may be working on the same or similar ideas.

Please do not send us any unsolicited original creative materials of any kind. While we do value your feedback on the Site and the services offered in connection therewith, we request that you be specific in your comments with respect to the same, and not submit any creative ideas, suggestions, or materials (unless specifically requested by us).

If you participate in a Forum within the Site, if applicable, you must not: (i) defame, abuse, harass or threaten others; (ii) make any bigoted, hateful or racially offensive statements; (iii) advocate illegal activity or discuss illegal activities with the intent to commit them; (iv) post or distribute any material that infringes and/or violates any right of a third party or any law; (v) post or distribute any vulgar, obscene, discourteous or indecent language or images; (vi) advertise or sell to, or solicit others; (vii) use the Forum for commercial purposes of any kind other than to facilitate a transaction on the Site; (viii) post or distribute any software or other materials which contain a virus or other harmful component; or (ix) post material or make statements that do not generally pertain to the designated topic or theme of any chat room or bulletin board. You shall remain solely responsible for the content of your messages and shall indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties, as hereinafter defined, harmless for the content of such messages. We reserve the right to remove or edit content from any Forum at any time and for any reason.

Class Action, Collective Action, Representative Action and Class-Wide Arbitration Waivers

YOU AND MCR AGREE THAT NEITHER PARTY MAY FILE OR COMMENCE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, COLLECTIVE ACTION LAWSUIT, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION (WHEREBY A PARTY FILES OR COMMENCES A LAWSUIT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON YOUR OR MCR’ BEHALF), OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY, OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY SUCH LAWSUIT, ACTION OR ARBITRATION AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY. YOU AND MCR SPECIFICALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE OR HAVE HAD TO FILE OR COMMENCE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, COLLECTIVE ACTION LAWSUIT, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY SUCH LAWSUIT, ACTION OR ARBITRATION AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY.

Mandatory Arbitration Except for Matters Relating to MCR Intellectual Property

EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE INVOLVING THE OWNERSHIP, VALIDITY OR USE OF ANY MCR’ PATENTS, TRADEMARKS OR SERVICE MARKS, AND EXCEPT AS AND TO THE EXTENT BOTH PARTIES AGREE OTHERWISE IN A WRITING EXPRESSLY INTENDED TO MODIFY THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR MATERIALS (INCLUDING ANY CLAIM THAT ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR MATERIALS ARE INVALID, ILLEGAL, OR OTHERWISE VOIDABLE OR VOID), SHALL BE SUBMITTED FOR CONFIDENTIAL, BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION TO THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (AAA). You and MCR waive any rights to maintain other available resolution processes for such disputes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding, to settle disputes. YOU AND MCR HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY NOW HAVE OR HEREAFTER POSSESS TO A TRIAL BY JURY. The rules in arbitration are different from the rules that apply in court. There is no judge or jury, and review is limited, but an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief, and must honor the same limitations stated in the Agreement, as a court would.

MCR shall have the right in a proper case where it may suffer irreparable harm to move to obtain a temporary restraining order or temporary or preliminary injunctive relief and/or declaratory relief (other than declarations with respect to the amount of money damages) from a court of competent jurisdiction. You agree that the exclusive jurisdiction for any such action, or any action between you and MCR that is not covered by the terms of the arbitration provision in this Agreement, shall be filed only in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if there is no federal jurisdiction over the action, in the courts of the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan. You hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action with MCR.

Any arbitration proceeding between you and MCR shall be heard by one independent arbitrator who shall be an attorney or retired judge. The arbitration shall be held in New York, New York and in accordance with the then-existing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA. All matters within the scope of the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. 1, et seq.) will be governed by it and not by any state arbitration law

Discovery during the arbitration proceeding shall be limited. Documents or information may not be requested from any period more than two years prior to the commencement of the arbitration unless both parties agree or permitted by the arbitrator for good cause shown. Interrogatories and requests for admissions shall not be permitted. The exchange of electronic discovery shall not be permitted. The parties shall be limited to 15 requests for production of documents. All documents will be provided in paper form. Each party may take no more than three depositions, including third-party depositions, each of which shall last no more than three hours. You and MCR may bring dispositive motions, including motions to dismiss the arbitration demand and summary award motions before the commencement of the hearing. If brought, the arbitrator shall decide these motions three weeks or more before the commencement of the arbitration hearing. Each party shall provide its expert reports to the other side 15 days or more before the commencement of the arbitration hearing.

The party who commences the arbitration will pay the initial arbitration fee. All other arbitration fees or costs, including the cost of the independent arbitrator, shall be split between you and MCR unless the arbitrator rules otherwise.

In reaching his or her decision, the arbitrator shall follow this Agreement, including the Limitations of Liability provisions in this Agreement, shall be bound to apply the applicable law and shall not rule inconsistently with the applicable law. The arbitrator shall include in his or her award any relief he or she deems proper in terms of money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the date due at the maximum rate allowed by law), and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. The arbitrator is not required to issue a reasoned decision. The award of the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Other than as may be required by law, the entire arbitration proceedings (including, but not limited to, any rulings, decisions or orders of the arbitrator), shall remain confidential and not be disclosed to anyone other than the parties to this Agreement.

The foregoing waiver of a jury trial, waiver of litigation in court or other forums besides AAA arbitration, and other waivers outlined in the Class Action, Collective Action, Representative Action, and Class-Wide Arbitration Waivers section above and in this Mandatory Arbitration section shall not apply to the extent that applicable law in your country of residence requires application of another law and/or jurisdiction and cannot be excluded by contract.
