Exclusion of Warranties
Neither Visit Seattle  nor any of its third party suppliers make any warranty of any kind regarding the service and/or any materials provided via the service, all of which are provided on an "as is" basis. Neither Visit Seattle nor any of its third party suppliers warrant the accuracy, completeness, currency or reliability of any of the content or data provided via the service and such parties expressly disclaim all warranties and conditions, including implied warranties and conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and those arising by statute or otherwise in law or from a course of dealing or usage of trade. Neither Visit Seattle nor any of its third party suppliers warrant that this service is free of viruses or other harmful components. Some states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific rights which vary from state to state. The service provides links to other web sites solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement by Visit Seattle or its third party suppliers of the contents of such other web sites or the goods or services provided thereon. Neither Visit Seattle nor any third party supplier shall be responsible for the content of any other web sites and make no representation or warranty regarding any other web sites or the contents or materials on such web sites or the goods or services provided thereon. If you decide to access other web sites, or to use such goods or services, you do so at your own risk. By marketing travel to international destinations, Visit Seattle does not represent or warrant that travel to such destinations is advisable or without risk, and is not liable for damages or losses that may result from travel to such destinations. Visit Seattle expressly reserves the right to correct any pricing errors (including, without limitation, typographical or display errors, incorrect third party supplier information, and currency conversion miscalculations) and/or to change or cancel pending reservations made under an incorrect price. This right applies whether or not the order has been confirmed and/or your credit card charged. In the event of a correction to a pending reservation, as your sole and exclusive remedy we will offer you the opportunity to keep your pending reservation at the correct price or, at your option, we will cancel your reservation without penalty.

Limitation of liability
Visit Seattle assumes no responsibility for, and shall not be liable for, any damage to your computer equipment or other property on account of your access to, or use of, the service or your downloading of any materials, data, text, images, video or audio from the service. In no event shall Visit Seattle or any of its third party suppliers be liable for any injury, loss, claim, damage, or any special, exemplary, punitive, direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages of any kind (including, but not limited to lost profits or lost savings), whether based in contract, tort, strict liability, equity or otherwise, which arise out of or are in any way connected with (i) any use of the service or content found therein, (ii) any failure or delay (including, but not limited to the use of or inability to use any component of this site for reservations or ticketing), or (iii) the performance or non-performance by the Visit Seattle or any of its third party suppliers, including, but not limited to, non-performance resulting from bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation even if such party has been advised of the possibility of damages to such parties or any other party. The third party suppliers providing travel or other services on this site are independent contractors and not agents or employees of Visit Seattle. Visit Seattle is not liable for the unintentional or intentional acts, errors, omissions, representations, warranties, breaches or negligence of any such third party suppliers or agents of third party suppliers or for any personal injuries, death, property damage, or other damages or expenses resulting therefrom. Visit Seattle shall have no liability and will make no refund in the event of any delay, cancellation, overbooking, strike, force majeure or other causes beyond its direct control, and shall have no responsibility for any additional expense, omissions, delays, re-routing or acts of any government or authority. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, Visit Seattle or any third party supplier should be found liable for any loss or damage which arises out of or is in any way connected with any of the above described functions or uses of the service or its content, the liability of Visit Seattle and the third party suppliers shall in no event exceed, in the aggregate, the total amount paid to Visit Seattle in connection therewith. Some states or jurisdictions, to the extent their law might be deemed to apply notwithstanding the selection of Washington state law as described below, do not allow limitation of liability, so the foregoing limitation may not apply to you.

Indemnification
You shall defend and indemnify Visit Seattle and any Third Party Suppliers and its and their respective owners, officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any claim, cause of action or demand, including without limitation reasonable legal and accounting fees, brought by or on your behalf in excess of the liability described herein or by third parties as a result of your use of the Service (including without limitation any violation by you of these terms and conditions, any law or the rights of a third party).

Governing Law and Venue
These Terms of Use and any action related thereto will be governed, controlled, interpreted, and defined by and under the laws of Washington State, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles that require the application of the law of a different state. The parties expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts of Washington for any lawsuits arising from or related to these Terms of Use. The prevailing party in any such action shall be entitled to recover all reasonable attorneys’ fees and any costs of litigation.

Injunctive Relief
You acknowledge that a violation or attempted violation of any of these Terms of Use will cause such damage to Visit Seattle as will be irreparable, the exact amount of which would be impossible or difficult to ascertain and for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, you agree that Visit Seattle shall be entitled as a matter of right to seek an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining such violation or attempted violation of these terms and conditions by you, or your affiliates, partners, or agents, without having to post a bond or other security.

Privacy
You have read the Visit Seattle Privacy Policy, the terms of which are incorporated herein, and you agree that the terms of such policy are reasonable. You consent to the use of your personal information by Visit Seattle and/or its Third Party Suppliers in accordance with the terms of and for the purposes set forth in the BTHA Privacy Policy.

Taxes and Service Fees
The room rate displayed on the Website includes a fee which is retained by us to compensate us for the Services. At the time of booking we collect a deposit payment from you which we retain as a transactional fee and you pay the remaining amount due (including any applicable fees and government taxes) directly to the hotel. Our transactional fees vary based on a variety of factors. If you book a hotel room, activity or rental car, you agree that your credit card will be charged by Regatta Hotel Reservations for the amount of the deposit. By submitting your reservation request you authorize Visit Seattle to facilitate hotel reservations on your behalf. Please remember that you may incur other charges during your stay that are not payable to us and are not included in the quoted price, such as extra-person or extra-bed charges, resort fees, gratuities, hotel energy surcharges, parking fees, telephone fees, room service, movies, mini-bar, and incidentals.

Additional Terms And Conditions
Additional terms and conditions of Visit Seattle and/or its Third Party Suppliers may apply to reservations, purchases of goods and services and other uses of the Service. You agree to abide by any such additional terms and conditions and you understand that if you violate any such terms and conditions, it may result in cancellation of your reservation(s), in your being denied access to the applicable travel product or services, and in your forfeiting any amounts paid for such reservation(s). Visit Seattle may debit your credit or debit card account or charge you for any costs we incur as a result of such violation. You acknowledge that some Third Party Suppliers offering certain services and/or activities may require you to sign their liability waiver prior to participating in the service and/or activity they offer.

Miscellaneous
The relationship between Visit Seattle and you will be that of independent contractors, and neither of us nor any of our respective officers, agents or employees will be held or construed to be partners, joint ventures, fiduciaries, employees or agents of the other. You may not assign, convey, subcontract or delegate your rights, duties or obligations hereunder. These terms and conditions shall be deemed severable. In the event that any provision is determined to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision shall nonetheless be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions. The headings used in these Terms of Use are included for convenience only and will not limit or otherwise affect the terms and conditions herein. These Terms of Use, together with any terms and conditions incorporated herein or referred to herein constitute the entire agreement between us relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any prior understandings or agreements (whether oral or written) regarding the subject matter, and may not be amended or modified except in writing or by making such amendments or modifications available through the Service.
