With this Membership, you and other hostel staff, whom you choose to give access, will be able to edit certain tab inputs in the Application for this hostel.BILLING CYCLES AND AUTO-RENWAL
Any Membership recurs on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the subscription plan selected, until the Membership is canceled. Billing occurs at the beginning of the Membership cycle and provides access for one month thereafter or one year thereafter, depending on the subscription plan selected. By purchasing a Membership, you acknowledge that your Membership has recurring payment features and you accept responsibility for all recurring payment obligations prior to cancellation of your Membership by you or Hostel Mate. To change your subscription plan or terminate your Membership, go to your Owner Settings in the Hostel Mate Application or contact Member Support at hostelmate.app@gmail.comOTHER OFFERS
Hostel Mate may offer additional promotions, discounts, or referral rewards related to Memberships from time to time. Please read the details of those offers carefully, as any additional terms presented to you will form part of these Membership Terms. Unless specified in writing, all discount offers that require a payment are non-refundable. Any free trial or other promotion must be used within the specified time frame of the trial or promotion. You may be required to have a valid payment method on file in order to initiate a free trial; in this case, if you do not cancel before your free trial period ends, your account will be converted to a paid Membership and will be charged in accordance with these Membership Terms.

Cancellation or Termination of Membership

CANCELLATION OF MEMBERSHIP

THIRD-PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSORS
You agree to pay us, through our payment processor, all charges at the prices then in effect for any purchase in accordance with the applicable payment terms at the time of purchase. You agree to make payment using the payment method you provide when you set up your account. We reserve the right to correct, or to instruct our payment processors to correct, any errors or mistakes, even if payment has already been requested or received.INQUIRIES AND REFUNDS

You and Hostel Mate mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or any use of the Hostel Mate App or any Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and Hostel Mate agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.20.5 Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and Hostel Mate each agree that the following causes of action and/or claims for relief are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction (as defined by Section 20): (i) any claim or cause of action alleging actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) any claim or cause of action seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack); or (iii) a request for the remedy of public injunctive relief. You and Hostel Mate agree that the remedy of public injunctive relief will proceed after the arbitration of all arbitrable claims, remedies, or causes of action, and will be stayed pending the outcome of the arbitration pursuant to section 3 of the Federal Arbitration Act.20.6 Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act governs all substantive and procedural interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. In order to initiate arbitration, a completed written demand (available at www.adr.org) must be filed with the AAA and provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA rules.20.7 Modification to AAA Rules - Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, Hostel Mate agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option: (a) in the U.S. county where you reside; (b) in New York City; (c) via phone or video conference; or (d) if all parties agree, by solely the submission of documents to the arbitrator.20.8 Modification of AAA Rules - Attorney’s Fees and Costs. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, Hostel Mate will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. Either party may make a request that the arbitrator award attorneys’ fees and costs upon proving that the other party has asserted a claim, cross-claim or defense that is groundless in fact or law, brought in bad faith or for the purpose of harassment, or is otherwise frivolous, as allowed by applicable law and the AAA Rules.20.9 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any relief allowed by law or the AAA Rules, but declaratory or injunctive relief may be awarded only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.20.10 Jury Trial Waiver. You and Hostel Mate acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.20.11 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and Hostel Mate acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative or consolidated proceeding. Unless we agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of the waiver contained in this paragraph as to any claim, cause of action or requested remedy, then that claim, cause of action or requested remedy, and only that claim, cause of action or requested remedy, will be severed from this agreement to arbitrate and will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that a claim, cause of action or requested remedy is severed pursuant to this paragraph, then you and we agree that the claims, causes of action or requested remedies that are not subject to arbitration will be stayed until all arbitrable claims, causes of action and requested remedies are resolved by the arbitrator.20.12 Severability. Except as provided in Section 20.11, in the event that any portion of these Terms are deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision will be severed and the remainder of these Terms will be given full force and effect.20.13 Changes to Agreement to Arbitrate. If Hostel Mate changes this Section 21 after the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject that change by sending us written notice (including by email) within 30 days of the date the change is effective. Rejecting a new change, however, does not revoke or alter your prior consent to any earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between you and Hostel Mate (or your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain in effect and enforceable as to any Dispute between you and Hostel Mate.20.14 Survival. Except as provided in Section 20.12 and subject to Section 12.6, this Section 20 will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the Hostel Mate App or terminate your Hostel Mate account.21. Rest of World Dispute Resolution, Venue and Forum, and Governing Law.
If you reside or have your place of establishment outside of the United States, this Section applies to you and these Terms will be interpreted in accordance with New York State law. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded.22. Miscellaneous.22.1 Other Terms Incorporated by Reference. Our Data Privacy Notice and Membership Terms and other supplemental policies and terms linked to in these Terms apply to your use of the Hostel Mate App, are incorporated by reference, and form part of your agreement with Hostel Mate.22.2 Interpreting these Terms. Except as they may be supplemented by additional terms, conditions, policies, guidelines, standards, and in-product disclosures, these Terms (including those items incorporated by reference) constitute the entire agreement between Hostel Mate and you pertaining to your access to or use of the Hostel Mate App or website and supersede any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Hostel Mate and you. These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon anyone other than you and Hostel Mate. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, except as otherwise indicated in Section 21.11 above, such provision will be struck and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. Where the word “will” is used in these Terms it connotes an obligation with the same meaning as “shall.”22.3 No Waiver. Hostel Mate’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise permitted under law.22.4 Assignment. You may not assign, transfer or delegate this agreement or your rights and obligations hereunder without Hostel Mate’s prior written consent. Hostel Mate may without restriction assign, transfer or delegate this agreement and any rights and obligations hereunder, at its sole discretion, with 30 days’ prior notice.22.5 Notice. Unless specified otherwise, any notices or other communications to Users permitted or required under this agreement, will be provided electronically and given by Hostel Mate via email or any other contact method we enable and you provide.22.6 Third-Party Services. The Hostel Mate App and our website may contain links to third-party websites, applications, services or resources (“Third-Party Services”) that are subject to different terms and privacy practices. Hostel Mate is not responsible or liable for any aspect of such Third-Party Services and links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement.22.7 Apple Terms. If you access or download our application from the Apple App Store, you agree to Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement.22.8 Force Majeure. Hostel Mate shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, pandemics, epidemics or disease, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.22.9 Emails and Communications. You will receive administrative communications from us using the email address or other contact information you provide for your Hostel Mate account. You may also receive promotional emails from us. No fee is charged for these promotional emails, but third-party data rates could apply.22.10 Contact Us.
