Terms and Conditions

1. Restaurant Reservations. NewYearsEveParty.com provides the Reservation Services to User for the purpose of assisting User in securing dining reservations at participating third-party restaurants (each, a “Restaurant”). In response to a User’s online request for a Restaurant reservation through the NewYearsEveParty.com Site or NewYearsEveParty.com Application, NewYearsEveParty.com directly contacts the Restaurant’s computerized database of reservations. The availability of reservations is determined at the time of User’s query. Once a reservation is made by User through the NewYearsEveParty.com Site or NewYearsEveParty.com Application, NewYearsEveParty.com will provide confirmation of the reservation to User by email. By using the Reservation Services, User agrees to receive reservation confirmations by email after booking a reservation through the Reservation Services.
2. No-Show Policy. NewYearsEveParty.com is committed to providing superior quality services to Users and Restaurants. To assist us in maintaining a consistently high level of service for the Restaurants and their patrons, Users must cancel any reservations that they will be unable to honor at least 24 Hours in advance of the reservation. You may cancel your reservation via the NewYearsEveParty.com Site or NewYearsEveParty.com Application or by calling us directly. Some Restaurants may require a debit or credit card number to finalize your reservation. In order to use the Reservation Services for these Restaurants, you must provide valid debit or credit card information. To confirm that the debit or credit card information you have provided is accurate, we may place a temporary authorization on your debit or credit card at the time you provide your debit or credit card information. After we verify that your debit or credit card information is accurate, usually within a few days, the authorization will be removed. You may be required to cancel your reservation in accordance with the Restaurant’s cancellation policy, which is disclosed at the time the reservation is made. NewYearsEveParty.com uses this debit or credit card information as described in our privacy policy and shall have no liability for any charges made to the debit or credit card account for any failure to cancel your reservation in accordance with a Restaurant’s cancellation policy.

If you are unable to keep your reservation and you fail to cancel at least 24 hours in advance of the reservation, NewYearsEveParty.com will send you an email or text letting you know that our records indicate that you were a no-show. By using the Reservation Services, User agrees to receive no-show notifications by email after a report that your reservation was not honored, whether or not that was in fact the case. Your Account will be terminated if you are a no-show for four reservations within a 12-month period. If you receive a no-show notification email in error, please contact us for information on how to dispute it. User agrees that all final no-show determinations will be made by NewYearsEveParty.com in its sole discretion.

3. Usage Guidelines. User agrees to use the Reservation Services only to book reservations at Restaurants and then honor those reservations by arriving at the Restaurants on time and ordering and paying for beverages and meals. User further agrees not to book more than one reservation for User’s personal use during any one meal time (e.g., lunch, dinner, etc.). User may be able to book multiple reservations through NewYearsEveParty.com’s Administrative Assistant and/or Concierge programs. Resale or attempted resale of reservations is prohibited and is grounds for, among other things, cancellation of your reservations or termination of your access to the Services.

In order to use the Payment Services, you must provide account information for at least one valid debit or credit card or other payment method through or to the NewYearsEveParty.com Application. NewYearsEveParty.com uses this payment method account information as described in our privacy policy. If you provide account information for a debit or credit card to the NewYearsEveParty.com Application via a third party, your provision of such debit or credit card shall also be subject to the terms and conditions specified by such third party. NewYearsEveParty.com takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any actions or omissions of such third party.

To the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to our privacy policy, you acknowledge and agree that we may use certain third-party vendors and service providers to process payments, manage debit and credit card information and detect and prevent fraud.

By providing debit or credit card account information through or to the NewYearsEveParty.com Application, you represent, warrant, and covenant that: (1) you are legally authorized to provide such information to us; (2) you are legally authorized to perform payments from the debit or credit card account(s); and (3) such action does not violate the terms and conditions applicable to your use of such debit or credit card account(s) or applicable law.

9. Payment Authorization and Settlement. After you place an order at a participating bar, club, or restaurant, you may indicate through the NewYearsEveParty.com Application that you intend to pay your Restaurant bill using the Payment Services. You may review your bill and select the gratuity from certain options through the NewYearsEveParty.com Application; provided, however, in lieu of the gratuity you set, a minimum gratuity may be added in accordance with the restaurant’s gratuity policies. When you indicate through the NewYearsEveParty.com Application that you intend to pay your Restaurant bill using the Payment Services, you authorize the Restaurant to charge your debit or credit card for the full amount of your final bill, which may include among other things a gratuity based on your selection or minimum gratuity, if any, charged by the restaurant, any applicable taxes, surcharges or fees and may include adjustments for any errors or omissions. You may only use the Payment Services to pay the full amount of the bill; no split checks or partial payments are permitted. This Agreement does not alter your payment obligations to Restaurants; you are responsible for timely payment of all amounts owed by you to any Restaurant. Depending on your payment method, you may be subject to certain minimum charges. Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law, NewYearsEveParty.com is not responsible or liable for any payments authorized through the NewYearsEveParty.com Application using your payment method information.

38. Severability.

40. Waiver. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or a delay by any party in the enforcement of any right hereunder, shall neither be construed as a continuing waiver nor create an expectation of non-enforcement of that or any other provision or right.
41. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER, CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND FORUM SELECTION CLAUSE. Any and all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action (including the interpretation and scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of the controversy, dispute, demand, count, claim, or cause of action) between you and the NewYearsEveParty.com Parties or their successors or assigns shall exclusively be settled through binding and confidential arbitration.

Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). As modified by this Agreement, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the “Rules and Procedures”).

You are thus GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights EXCEPT for matters that you file in small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.

You and NewYearsEveParty.com must abide by the following rules: (1) ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR NewYearsEveParty.com MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (2) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF; (3) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, NewYearsEveParty.com will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation, (4) NewYearsEveParty.com also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all of the costs of the arbitration; (5) the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (6) the arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award; (7) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and (8) each side pays its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses, and, in such instance, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by the applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or NewYearsEveParty.com may bring an individual action in small claims court. Further, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret shall not be subject to this arbitration agreement. Such claims shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California. Additionally, notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and hereby agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within San Francisco County, California for such purpose. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.

With the exception of subparts (1) and (2) in this Section (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis), if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting part was not contained herein. If, however, either subpart (1) or (2) is found to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor NewYearsEveParty.com shall be entitled to arbitration. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California.

For more information on AAA, the Rules and Procedures, or the process for filing an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at http://www.adr.org.

42. Choice of Law. This Agreement is made under and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction.
