VI. E-COMMERCE & BUSINESS

1) You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age or older to make purchases on any of our Websites.

2) We reserve the right to limit the quantity of sales of particular items and further reserve the right to cancel multiple orders of such item purchases by the same user and/or users with the same shipment/delivery address.

3) We attempt to be as accurate as possible in our product descriptions. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions or other content of our Websites is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free.  Including but not limited to any advertisements or product descriptions posted by our members or visitors. If a product offered by us is not purchased as described, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition.  If you purchase a product from a Member from the Classified ads published by Members, or products listed in the RV Hobo Store sold by Members, you agree that the transaction and any and all remedies are exclusively between you and the Member and do herein absolve the RV Hobo Network from any and all responsibilities for any such transaction.

4) Except where noted otherwise, the list price or suggested price displayed for products on any of our Websites represents the full retail price listed on the product itself, suggested by the manufacturer or supplier, estimated in accordance with standard industry practice, or is the estimated retail value for a comparably featured item offered elsewhere.  Where an item is offered for sale by one of our merchants, or listed by one of our Members, the list price or suggested price may be provided by the merchant or Member.  In the event a product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to typographical error or error received from its suppliers, we shall, and/or the listing Member shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for the product listed at the incorrect price.  We shall, and the listing Member shall, have the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged.  If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order sold by us is cancelled, we will issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge.  If you have made a payment directly to a listing Member where your credit card was charged, the transaction in its entirety is solely between you and the listing Member.

5) Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell.  We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order for any reason.  We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order, without prior notice to you, to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item.  We may automatically charge and withhold the sales tax for orders based on the applicable state sales tax rate and the location to which the item is being shipped.  Otherwise, you are solely responsible for all sales taxes, or other taxes, on orders shipped to you.

6) All requests for service and support for items purchased from us should be made directly to the manufacturer in accordance with their terms and conditions.

7) Some of our Websites may offer gift cards redeemable for the purchase of goods and/or services (“Gift Cards”).  The risk of loss and title for Gift Cards pass to the purchaser upon our electronic transmission to the purchaser, recipient or delivery to the carrier, whichever is applicable.  We are not responsible if a Gift Card is lost, stolen, destroyed or used without your permission.  We make no warranties, express or implied, with respect to Gift Cards, including without limitation, any express or implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.  In the event a Gift Card is non-functional, your sole remedy, and our sole liability, shall be the replacement of such Gift Card.  Certain state laws do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages.  If these laws apply to you, some or all of the above disclaimers, exclusions or limitations may not apply to you, and you might have additional rights.

8) Some of our Websites may sell vouchers which are redeemable for certain goods, services or experiences (“Vouchers”).  These Vouchers are special promotional offers that you purchase from participating non-RVHN merchants (“Merchants”) through our Websites. The Merchant will be identified on the voucher and such Merchant is solely responsible for redeeming the Voucher. The Merchant is the issuer of the Voucher and is fully responsible for all goods and services it provides to you and for any and all injuries, illnesses, damages, claims, liabilities and costs (“Liabilities”) it may cause you to suffer, directly or indirectly, in full or in part, whether related to the use or redemption of a Voucher or not. You waive and release RVHN and its parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees and agents from any Liabilities arising from or related to any act or omission of a Merchant in connection with your use of a voucher or the services/goods it provides in connection with it.  Additionally, the expiration date on the Voucher sets forth the last date on which you can redeem your Voucher for the full promotional value as stated on the Voucher, but applicable law may provide that the Merchant is responsible for honoring the cash value that you paid for the Voucher for a period of time beyond that expiration date.

9) We provide our Products including, without limitation, Product Content for educational, entertainment and/or promotional purposes. You may not rely on any information and opinions expressed through any of our Products for any other purpose.  In all instances, it is your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, timeliness, completeness, or usefulness of any Product Content.  Under no circumstances will we be liable for any loss or damage caused by your reliance on any Product Content.

10) Any health-related Product Content available is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice. We do not warrant the validity of any such health-related statements found on or through our Products. All such information is general in nature and may be helpful to some persons but not others, depending upon their personal needs. You should always consult with your physician prior to changing or undertaking a new diet or exercise program. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on or through our Products.

11) In many instances, Product Content will include content posted by a third-party or will represent the opinions and judgments of a third-party.  We do not endorse, warrant and are not responsible for the accuracy, timeliness, completeness, or reliability of any opinion, advice, or statement offered through our Products by anyone other than our authorized employees or spokespersons while acting in their official capacities.

12) Our Products may link or contain links to other websites maintained by third parties.  We do not operate or control, in any respect, or necessarily endorse the content found on these third-party websites.  You assume sole responsibility for your use of third-party links.  We are not responsible for any content posted on third-party websites or liable to you for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as a result of your dealings with any third-party or their website.

13) Your correspondence or business dealings with, or participation in contests or promotions of advertisers and other third parties (i.e. entities other than RVHN) found on or through this Website, including payment and delivery of related goods or service, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such party.  You agree that we shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings or as the result of the presence of such advertisers on the website.

VII. INDEMNIFICATION

1) You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless RVHN, our officers, directors, employees, parents, partners, successors, agents, distribution partners, affiliates, subsidiaries, and their related companies (collectively, the “RVHN Parties”) from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) arising out of, related to, or that may arise in connection with:  (a) your use of our Products; (b) User Content provided by you or through use of your Membership; (c) any actual or alleged violation or breach by you of these Terms of Use; (d) any actual or alleged breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant that you have made to us; or (e) your acts or omissions.  You agree to cooperate fully with us in the defense of any claim that is the subject of your obligations hereunder.

2) If you are using our Website on behalf of a business, that business accepts these terms.  It will hold harmless, defend and indemnify the LVHN Parties from any claim, suit or action arising from or related to the use of the Website or violation of these terms, including any liability or expense arising from claims, losses, damages, suits, judgements, litigation costs and attorney’s fees.

VIII. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the cumulative liability of all the RVHN Parties exceed the lesser of the total payments received from you by us during the preceding twelve (12) month period of $100.  Furthermore, you agree that any cause of action arising out of, or relating to, or in any way connected with any of our Products or these Terms of Use must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, such cause of action shall be permanently barred.

3) These limitations shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.  In some jurisdictions limitations of liability are not permitted; in such jurisdictions, some of the foregoing limitations may not apply to you.

X. TERMINATION

1) We reserve the right in our sole discretion and at any time to terminate or suspend your Membership and/or block your use of our Products for any reason including, without limitation, if you have failed to comply with the letter and spirit of these Terms of Use.  You agree that we are not liable to you or any third party for any termination or suspension of your Membership or for blocking your use of our Products.

2) Any suspension or termination shall not affect your obligations to us under these Terms of Use.   The provisions of these Terms of Use (which by their nature should survive the suspension or termination of your Membership or these Terms of Use) shall survive including, but not limited to, the rights and licenses that you have granted hereunder, indemnities, releases, disclaimers, limitations on liability, provisions related to choice of law, and all of the provisions under Section 17 “Miscellaneous.”

XI. COPYRIGHT POLICY

1) We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect users to do the same.  In appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, we may terminate and/or disable the Membership of users suspected to be infringing the copyrights (or other intellectual property rights) of others.  Additionally, in appropriate circumstances and in our sole discretion, we may remove or disable access to material on any of our Websites or hosted on our systems that may be infringing or the subject of infringing activity.

2) In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, Title 17 of the United States Code, Section 512 (“DMCA”), we will respond promptly to claims of copyright infringement that are reported to the agent that we have designated to receive notifications of claims infringement (our “DMCA Compliance Officer”).  The DMCA Compliance Officer for notice of claims of copyright infringement on our Website can be reached by clicking the “Contact Us” link on our Website.

3) If you are a copyright owner (or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner) and believe that your work’s copyright has been infringed, please report your notice of infringement to us by providing our DMCA Compliance Officer with a written notification of claimed infringement that includes substantially the following information:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single Website are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that Website;
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted;
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

We will investigate notices of copyright infringement and take appropriate actions under the DMCA. Inquiries that do not follow this procedure may not receive a response.

XII.  CHOICE OF LAW; JURISDICTION AND VENUE

These Terms of Use shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands without regard to its conflict of laws rules.  Any legal proceedings against us that may arise out of, relate to, or be in any way connected with our Products or these Terms of Use shall be brought exclusively in the  federal courts of Amsterdam, Netherlands and you waive any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.

XIII. DISPUTE RESOLUTION & MANDATORY ARBITRATION

1) We each agree to first contact each other with any disputes and provide a written description of the problem, all relevant documents/information and the proposed resolution. You agree to contact us with disputes by contacting us at the address provided in the “Contact Us” link on our Website. We will contact you based on the contact information you have provided us.

2) If, after thirty (30) days, the parties are unable to resolve any dispute raised under the previous provision, the dispute may only be submitted to arbitration consistent with this section.  The parties understand that they would have had a right or opportunity to litigate disputes through a court and to have a judge or jury decide their case, but they instead choose to have any disputes resolved through arbitration.

3) We each agree that any claim or dispute between us, and any claim by either of us against any agent, employee, successor, or assign of the other, including, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, third parties who are not signatories to this agreement, whether related to this agreement or otherwise, including past, present, and future claims and disputes and including any dispute as to the validity or applicability of this arbitration clause, shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the JAMS under its rules and procedures in effect when the claim is filed. The rules and procedures and other information, including information on fees, may be obtained from JAMS directly.

4) We are entering into this arbitration agreement in connection with a transaction involving interstate commerce.  Accordingly, this arbitration agreement and any proceedings thereunder shall be governed by the Arbitration Laws of the Netherlands. Any award by the arbitrator(s) may be entered as a judgement in any court having jurisdiction.

5)  As set forth below, we each agree that any arbitration will be solely between You and us, not as part of a class-wide claim (i.e., not brought on behalf of or together with another individual’s claim). If for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and the class-wide dispute must be brought in court.

XIV. NO CLASS ACTIONS

To the extent permitted by law, we each waive any right to pursue disputes on a class-wide basis; that is, either to join a claim with the claim of any other person or entity, or assert a claim in a representative capacity on behalf of anyone else in any lawsuit, arbitration or other proceeding.

XV. NO TRIAL BY JURY

To the extent allowed by law, we each waive any right to trial by jury in any lawsuit, arbitration or other proceeding.

XVI. AMENDMENT; ADDITIONAL TERMS

2)      Modifications to these Terms of Use or Additional Terms will be effective immediately upon posting on the Website.  It is your responsibility to review the Terms of Use from time to time for any changes or Additional Terms.  Your access and use of our Products following any modification of these Terms of Use or the provision of Additional Terms will signify your assent to and acceptance of the same.  If you object to any subsequent revision to the Terms of Use or to any Additional Terms, immediately discontinue use of our Products and, if applicable, terminate your Membership.
