Terms & Conditions
About Us
Whereas ORAH WELLNESS is a fully-appointed, qualified, and acting full-service travel management company engaged in the general business of arranging, planning, and reserving of domestic and international passenger transportation, lodging and ancillary services; WHEREAS, ORAH WELLNESS and a third party have entered into an alliance agreement whereby ORAH WELLNESS is a reseller of a certain web-based online booking tool; and whereas Orah Wellness, Client and ORAH WELLNESS desire to enter into an agreement, pursuant to which ORAH WELLNESS will provide Travel Management Services as may be requested by authorized representatives of Client, its subsidiaries and affiliates. NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby mutually acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
TERM AND TERMINATION. The term hereof will commence when you first access the Services and continue in effect until terminated by either party. ORAH WELLNESS may, in its sole discretion, terminate or suspend your access to all or part of the Services for any or no reason and with no prior notice to you; provided, however, if ORAH WELLNESS terminates for a reason other than your misconduct or breach of these Terms, and you have prepaid for Services, ORAH WELLNESS will provide a refund on a pro rata basis for such pre-paid amounts. You may terminate this Agreement at any time by discontinuing use of the Services.
DEFAULT. If either Party breaches any material provision of this Agreement, the non-defaulting Party shall give written notice to the other Party, specifying the nature of the default. If such default is not remedied or substantial efforts acceptable to the non-defaulting Party are not made to remedy such default within thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice, then the non-defaulting Party may at its option, either (a) suspend the performance of its obligations under this Agreement until such default is remedied, or (b) terminate this Agreement upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to the other Party. Either Party may also terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the other Party if: (w) the other Party begins liquidation or dissolution proceedings; (x) the other Party assigns a substantial portion of its assets for the benefit of its creditors; (y) bankruptcy proceedings or similar federal or state court proceedings are filed with respect to the other Party’s business; or (z) the other Party fails to pay its debts as they become due. Termination under this provision or any provision of this Agreement shall not relieve or release either Party from any rights, liabilities, or obligations which it has accrued prior to the date of such termination.
TRAVEL INDUSTRY CHANGE. The Parties acknowledge that the travel industry is volatile, and therefore presents special inherent risk of change that is outside of the control of ORAH WELLNESS. A “Travel Industry Change” means changes including, but not limited to, operating rules and charges imposed by airlines, hotels, car rental companies, the Airline Reporting Corporation (“ARC”), Global Distribution Systems (“GDS”), credit card companies, and other distributors and suppliers. The Parties agree that upon written notice by ORAH WELLNESS of a Travel Industry Change, which materially increases the cost to ORAH WELLNESS to perform its obligations hereunder, the Parties will renegotiate in good faith the terms of this Agreement. If the Parties are unable to agree upon new terms of this Agreement within thirty (30) days of such notice by ORAH WELLNESS, then ORAH WELLNESS may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days written notice to Client.
DATA PROTECTION.
4.1. Each party warrants and represents to the other that it will comply with all applicable privacy and data security laws. Client acknowledges and agrees that ORAH WELLNESS will collect, use, disclose and transfer across borders personally identifiable information of Client’s Travelers (“Personal Data”) and, to the extent that Client provides ORAH WELLNESS with Personal Data, Client agrees to ensure that Client’s Travelers are given notice of the foregoing and legally consent to our collection, use, disclosure and transfer of their Personal Data. ORAH WELLNESS will not attempt to collect, use, disclose, or transfer any Personal Data for any purpose other than as: (i) reasonably necessary to perform the Services or as otherwise necessary to perform ORAH WELLNESS´s obligations or exercise ORAH WELLNESS´s rights under the Agreement (including, without limitation, using Personal Data to develop reports at Client’s request), or (ii) otherwise required by law. Client agrees to make available only that Personal Data which is necessary for ORAH WELLNESS to perform the Services, is solely responsible for the accuracy of such information, and has valid and enforceable rights to disclose Personal Data for the purposes contemplated hereunder.
4.2. In order to provide the Services to individual travelers and to satisfy ORAH WELLNESS´s obligations under the Agreement, ORAH WELLNESS will maintain, enhance and expand Traveler Profiles. As between ORAH WELLNESS and Client, Client owns the Personal Data contained in these profiles; however, the law in certain jurisdictions provides that the Personal Data contained in the Traveler Profiles are owned by the Client’s Travelers. All Traveler Profile templates are ORAH WELLNESS´s property and Travel Agent reserves all rights therein.
4.3. For the avoidance of doubt, Client acknowledges and agrees that (i) nothing contained in this Section will limit or otherwise effect ORAH WELLNESS´s right to disclose information to a governmental authority (or to a third party that the governmental authority requires) to the extent required by applicable law, and (ii) nothing contained in this Section will limit or otherwise effect ORAH WELLNESS´s right to use any data which is in an aggregate form or otherwise in a format that does not contain Personal Data.
PROPRIETARY AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
5.1. ORAH WELLNESS hereby grants Client a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable license for the Term to use intellectual property that ORAH WELLNESS provides to Client in connection with the Services for the sole purpose of using the Services in accordance with the terms of this agreement.
5.2. All rights not specifically granted in this Agreement are expressly reserved to ORAH WELLNESS and/or its Suppliers. Neither Party shall use the trademarks, trade names, service marks, or logos of the other Party in advertising, publicity, promotional marketing or other material in a derogatory way. Notwithstanding, ORAH WELLNESS may state in its presentation materials (including website landing pages for promotional purposes) to prospective and current clients the fact that it is the travel management company of the Client and use the Client’s name for this purpose only, unless written request by Client is made to decline such use of logos, trademarks etc.
CONFIDENTIALITY. The Client and ORAH WELLNESS agree that all information pertaining to the other, obtained pursuant to the negotiation and/or administration of this Agreement (collectively, “Confidential Information”), shall be maintained in strict confidence and shall not be released or disclosed to any other corporation, company, association, or individual for any reason whatsoever except (a) as agreed to in writing; (b) information that is travel data in an aggregate form or otherwise in a format that does not contain personally identifiable information; (c) information that when received by the receiving Party is in the public domain or subsequently enters the public domain without fault of the receiving Party; (d) information that when received was known to receiving Party; (e) information that at any time is received in good faith by receiving Party from a third party which receiving Party had no reason to believe was not lawfully in possession of the same or did not have the right to disclose the same; (f) as required by law or by judicial, administrative, or civil legal process; provided that the Party receiving such process, or subject to such requirement, shall promptly advise the other in writing so that the other may seek an appropriate protective order; (g) by ORAH WELLNESS for internal purposes; or (h) to any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, advisers, representatives, or travel suppliers, to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably necessary for performance of a Party’s obligations or the provision of Services under or pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Except as otherwise explicitly set forth in this agreement, the services are provided “AS IS”, and ORAH WELLNESS disclaims all oral, written, express, implied, and statutory warranties and representations with respect to the use, misuse, or inability to use the services, their quality, their accuracy or reliability, or their merchantability, title, non-infringement of third-party rights, or fitness for a particular purpose or that the services are error free or will be offered without interruption.
7.2. The total liability of either Party hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the total amount of the compensation due by the Client to ORAH WELLNESS hereunder in the six (6) months period immediately preceding the claims. Nevertheless, if either Party becomes liable to pay for any loss, cost, or expense before the end of the first six (6) months of this Agreement, either Party’s liability for such loss, cost or expense shall be limited to the equivalent of the total amount of compensation accrued at the time such loss, cost, or expense became payable and any such amount shall be included in the total liability of such Party for any subsequent claim.
7.3. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Party nor its direct or indirect subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees or representatives shall be liable to the other Party for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages of any kind (including, without limitation, lost revenues, loss of profits, or loss of business), arising from this Agreement or relating to the obligations hereunder.
7.4.

ORAH WELLNESS shall have no liability for the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or correct sequencing of any Third-Party Information, or for any decision made or action taken by Client in reliance upon any Third-Party Information. To the extent that ORAH WELLNESS collects any passenger data on behalf of air carriers or other vessels for purposes of meeting governmental requirements (such as the United States’ Advance Passenger Information System requirements), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Client hereby waives and releases any and all obligations and liabilities of ORAH WELLNESS, expressed or implied, arising by law or otherwise, related to such activities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Client acknowledges that ORAH WELLNESS will not be liable if ORAH WELLNESS is supplied with incorrect data regarding a Client’s Traveler’s residence in the United States or a Client’s Traveler changes his or her plans without informing ORAH WELLNESS.
7.6. ORAH WELLNESS shall not be responsible for any direct or consequential damages resulting from any of the aforementioned acts or omissions of any Supplier.
7.7. In some instances, ORAH WELLNESS passes the proceeds from the sale of travel services to the Supplier of such services.

7.8. ORAH WELLNESS shall not be liable for any fluctuation in price or change in schedule or equipment or accommodations for any travel service that occurs subsequent to payment for such service.

In addition, Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless ORAH WELLNESS from any third party claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) asserted against ORAH WELLNESS and arising out of any of Client’s affiliate’s breach or alleged breach of any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement.

GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of Florida. Both Parties to this Agreement waive any and all right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding, brought or commenced by either Party, which is directly or indirectly related to this Agreement. If a dispute arises from or relates to this Agreement or the breach thereof, and if the dispute cannot be settled through direct discussions, the Parties agree to endeavor first to settle the dispute by mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Mediation Procedures before resorting to arbitration. The Parties further agree that any unresolved controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be Florida. The arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Except as may be required by law, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both Parties.
FORCE MAJEURE. Neither Party shall be liable for any delay or failure in performance of any part of this Agreement during any period in which such Party cannot perform due to Force Majeure Conditions. If any Force Majeure Condition occurs, the Party delayed or unable to perform shall use reasonable efforts to furnish prompt notice to the other Party, stating the nature of the Force Majeure Condition and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect.
RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES.

Client acknowledges that ORAH WELLNESS’ human resources programs, policies, and procedures shall be followed as they relate to ORAH WELLNESS employees who are servicing Client. ORAH WELLNESS considers all information relating to an employee confidential and will not release any personal information on an employee to the Client.
14.2. Client agrees that the hiring, training, management, and retention of employees by ORAH WELLNESS to perform the Services for Client represents significant cost to ORAH WELLNESS, which cannot be specifically quantified.

; (ii) not to encourage, assist, or otherwise participate in the hiring of any such employee by another Party who provides travel services to Client substantially similar to those provided herein. Parties agree that the damages they may suffer as a result of this Section are not readily ascertainable, and therefore agree that a reasonable liquidated damage amount for a breach would equal one-third (1/3) of the annual salary (or annualized hourly wages) of the wrongfully hired, solicited or contacted employee.
WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY. Any delay or omission of a Party to exercise any of its rights hereunder shall not waive, affect, or impair the rights of such Party and any such waiver must be in writing and signed by the Parties. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
NO ASSIGNMENT. The rights of ORAH WELLNESS and Client hereunder shall not be assignable, nor shall the obligations and duties of ORAH WELLNESS and Client hereunder be delegable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ORAH WELLNESS may delegate any duty hereunder to an affiliate, when, in the reasonable business judgment of ORAH WELLNESS, such affiliate can provide equal or better service to Client in compliance with this Agreement. In addition, either Party may assign its interest in this Agreement to any affiliate of that Party in a merger, consolidation, or other business combination or restructuring where the assignee affiliate continues the business of the assigning Party. For the purposes of this Section, “affiliate” shall mean any entity controlled by, controlling, or under common control with a party, whether directly or indirectly.
