7. Legal Disputes and Arbitration Agreement.
Please Read the Following Clause Carefully – It May Significantly Affect Your Legal Rights, Including Your Right to File a Lawsuit in Court

• Initial Dispute Resolution. We are available by e-mail at [email protected] or 415.981.7625 to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Service. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. The Company will work in good faith to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
• Agreement to Binding Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to Section 7(a) above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration. All claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Service shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered on a confidential basis by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in accordance with the provisions of its Consumer Arbitration Rules, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act.
• Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver. The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above in Section 7(b) shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
• Exception – Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
• 30 Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in Sections 7(b), 7(c) and 7(d) by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: Alcatraz City Cruises, Pier 33 South, Suite 200, San Francisco, CA 94111, Attn: Group Services Department, or by fax to 415.394.9904.
  1. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of commencing use of the Service, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those Sections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, the Company also will not be bound by them.
• Exclusive Venue for Litigation. To the extent that the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 7(b) do not apply, the parties agree that any litigation between them shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in [San Francisco, California] (except for small claims court actions which may be brought in the county where you reside). The parties expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction in [San Francisco, California] for any litigation other than small claims court actions.

8. Non-Waiver. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not operate as a waiver of the applicable right or provision.

9. Severability. These Terms of Service operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Service is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Service and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

10. Assignment. We may assign our rights under these Terms of Service without your approval.

11. No Third Party Beneficiaries. These Terms of Service constitute an agreement entered into between you and the Company. There are no third party beneficiaries to this agreement.
