24. Agency Intermediary
Upaway is simply an intermediary between Travel Suppliers and you. Upaway does not operate any hotels, shore excursions, tours, transportation providers, cruise lines, vessels, airlines, travel protection companies, attractions, or any other travel related supplies who provide goods and services for Customers.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that Upaway shall not be responsible for any loss, damage, delay, inconvenience or injury to Customer as a result of a breach of contract, act or omission whether willful or negligent, criminal or otherwise of any person other than Upaway or its direct employees, including but not limited to any Travel Supplier, their employees, agents, servants, or representatives.
Travel Suppliers reserve the right to deviate from the direct, customary and/or scheduled route or itinerary for any reason, without limitation and without notice. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Upaway is not responsible for Travel Supplier deviations, delays, cancellations, mandated overnight stays, missed connections or any other condition beyond its control.
Upaway recommends that all Customers be in good physical and mental health and have medical approval to travel. For Upaway to assist with any special accommodations, emotional support requirements, physical disabilities or limitations, or other custom needs (together “Special Accommodations”), all Special Accommodations must be reported to Upaway at the time of reservation upon initial booking so that Upaway can contact the Travel Suppliers to investigate the amenities offered. Customer is required to provide his or her own personal or individually prescribed devices such as wheelchairs, walkers, or similar devices. If more than minor assistance is needed, Travel Suppliers may require that the Customer be accompanied by a companion who is capable of, and responsible for, providing such assistance. Travel Suppliers often reserve the right to reject Customers whose mental or physical condition may interfere with the itinerary. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Upaway shall be held harmless for any and all claims relating to Travel Supplier rejection relating to mental or physical condition.
While Upaway prides itself on selecting top quality Travel Suppliers, no undertaking, guarantee or warranty is given or shall be implied as to the fitness or condition of the Travel Supplier’s accommodations, transportation, or any food, drink, medicine, or provisions supplied.

Customer admits a full understanding of the nature and character of the mode of transport and assumes all risks of travel, transportation and handling of passengers and baggage.
25. Dispute Resolution
If a controversy or claim should arise, the parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve such controversy or claim by negotiation. If the matter has not been resolved within thirty (30) days by negotiation, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the controversy or claim in accordance with mediation, with mutually agreeable rules. If the matter has not been resolved by mediation within sixty (60) days of the commencement of mediation, or if either party will not participate in mediation, then the controversy shall be settled by binding arbitration. The written decision of the arbitrator shall be binding and conclusive on the parties. The parties agree that there shall be no pre-arbitration discovery and the arbitrator shall not award punitive damages to either of the parties. Judgment may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
