General Terms and Conditions

Arbitration and Dispute Resolution

Disputes and Arbitration

EJW Media, Inc. is committed to customer satisfaction. If you have a problem or dispute, we will try to resolve it. If we are unsuccessful, you may pursue your claim as explained in this section.

You agree to give us an opportunity to resolve any problem, dispute, or claim relating in any way to the www.mostromantictable.com website and/or any of its related applications or services (the “Site”); any dealings with our customer service agents; the purchase, use, or performance of any services or products available through this Site; any representations made by EJW Media, Inc.; or our Privacy Policy (collectively, “Claims”) by providing Notice to Customer Support as described in section I.A.2.b below. If we are unable to resolve your Claims within 60 days, you may seek relief through arbitration or in small claims court, as set forth below.

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, United States of America, without regard to conflict of laws provisions that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. All Claims or other matters in dispute between you or any Third-party (as defined in Paragraph K, below) and EJW Media, Inc., its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any Dining Services Providers or companies offering products or services through the Site, whether based upon contract, tort, statute, or otherwise, shall likewise be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of laws provisions that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Limitation on Claims

Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, any Claim must be brought within two (2) years from the date on which such Claim arose or accrued.

Mandatory Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES THAT ANY AND ALL CLAIMS MUST BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT, AND IT PREVENTS YOU FROM PURSUING A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING IN ANY FORUM. THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY TO ANY CLAIMS AGAINST EJW MEDIA, INC., ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES, OR ANY DINING SERVICES PROVIDERS OR COMPANIES OFFERING PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THROUGH THE SITE.
IN ARBITRATION, A DISPUTE IS RESOLVED BY AN ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY. THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION WILL GENERALLY BE FINAL AND BINDING, WITH NO RIGHT OF APPEAL. ARBITRATION PROCEDURES ARE SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN COURT PROCEDURES.

By using this Site, you, any Third-party (as defined in paragraph K, below), and EJW Media, Inc. agree that any Claim, including claims regarding the applicability or validity of this arbitration provision, shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to the then applicable Rules and Procedures established by AAA (“Rules and Procedures”), except that, pursuant to subsection (e) below, under no circumstances may any claim be brought or arbitrated as a class action or be joined with another person’s claim, or proceed on a basis involving claims brought on a purported representative capacity (either on behalf of the general public or other users or persons). This agreement applies to, and includes, any and all Claims, including any Claims that arose prior to entering this agreement.

As an exception to arbitration, you, any Third-party, and EJW Media, Inc. retain the right to pursue in a small claims court located in the federal judicial district that includes your or the Third-party’s billing address at the time of the Claim, any Claim that is within the court’s jurisdiction and proceeds on an individual basis. All Claims you or a Third-party bring against EJW Media, Inc., its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any dining service providers or companies offering products or services through the Site must be resolved in accordance with this Disputes and Arbitration Section. All Claims filed or brought contrary to this Section shall be considered improperly filed and void.

If you decide to seek arbitration, you must first send, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) addressed to: Legal Department, EJW Media, Inc., 6605 Ascot Drive, Oakland, CA 94611 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the Claim; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If EJW Media, Inc. and you, or EJW Media, Inc. and any Third-party, do not reach an agreement to resolve the Claim within 60 days after the Notice is received, you, or the Third-party, may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you, any Third-party, or EJW Media, Inc. is entitled. A form to initiate arbitration may be downloaded here.
The arbitration shall be held at a location determined by AAA pursuant to the Rules and Procedures (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for you, or any Third-party asserting a Claim), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon.

To the extent that any Claim is held not to be subject to arbitration and proceeds in a Court other than small claims court, such Claim shall be filed only in the United States District Court for California or, if there is no federal jurisdiction over the action, in the courts of the State of California located in Alameda County, California. You hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such Claim that is not subject to the arbitration provision and not pursued in small claims court, and agree that any such claim shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action (as described more fully in section I.A.2.e below). You further agree that any and all Claims or other matters asserted in such dispute, whether based upon contract, tort, statute, or otherwise, shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of laws provisions that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

YOU AND ANY THIRD-PARTY FURTHER AGREE THAT NO PROCEEDING AGAINST EJW MEDIA, INC., ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES, OR ANY DINING SERVICES PROVIDERS OR COMPANIES OFFERING PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THROUGH THE SITE (UNDER THIS PROVISION OR OTHERWISE) MAY PROCEED AS A CLASS ACTION, BE JOINED WITH ANOTHER PERSON’S CLAIM, OR PROCEED ON A BASIS INVOLVING CLAIMS BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY (EITHER ON BEHALF OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC OR OTHER USERS OR PERSONS). ANY AND ALL PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE CLAIMS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. IN ADDITION, NO ARBITRATION PROCEEDING UNDER THIS PROVISION SHALL BE CONSOLIDATED OR JOINED IN ANY WAY WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION PROCEEDING WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES.

If you prevail in the arbitration of any Claim against EJW Media, Inc. and are awarded an amount greater than EJW Media, Inc.’s last written settlement offer to you, EJW Media, Inc. will pay a minimum recovery of $5,000, and EJW Media, Inc. will reimburse you for all reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in arbitrating the Claim(s) upon which you have prevailed. If any Third-party prevails in the arbitration of any Claim against EJW Media, Inc. and is awarded an amount greater than EJW Media, Inc.’s last written settlement offer to such Third-party, EJW Media, Inc. will pay a minimum recovery of $5,000 to the Third-party, and EJW Media, Inc. will reimburse such Third-party for all reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in arbitrating the Claim upon which he or she has prevailed. Any dispute regarding attorney’s fees to be paid pursuant to this paragraph will be decided by the arbitrator who decided the underlying Claim. If you or the Third-party do not prevail on the claim or prevail but are awarded an amount less than or equal to EJW Media, Inc.’s last written settlement offer to you, EJW Media, Inc. will pay only the amount of the award, not the minimum recovery or attorneys’ fees.

With the exception of sub-part (e) above (the class action waiver), if any part of this arbitration provision is held to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures established by AAA, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart (e) above (the class action waiver) is held to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor any Third-party, nor EJW Media, Inc. shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute.

Arbitration rules and forms may be obtained from AAA at http://www.adr.org or by calling AAA at 1-800-778-7879.

IF YOU OR ANY THIRD-PARTY DO NOT CHOOSE TO ACCEPT THIS BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU OR SUCH THIRD-PARTY MUST NOTIFY EJW MEDIA, INC.. IN WRITING BY CERTIFIED MAIL WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF YOUR PURCHASE OR BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO USE THE SERVICES PURCHASED ON THIS SITE, WHICHEVER DATE IS SOONER. SUCH NOTICE SHALL BE SENT TO THE NOTICE ADDRESS DEFINED IN SUBSECTION (b), ABOVE. IF YOU SO NOTIFY US BY THAT TIME THAT YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THE BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU AND ANY SUCH THIRD-PARTY MAY NOT CONTINUE TO PURCHASE SERVICES OR PRODUCTS ON THIS SITE UNLESS AND UNTIL EJW MEDIA, INC. NOTIFIES YOU OR SUCH THIRD-PARTY OTHERWISE. EJW MEDIA, INC. SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROHIBIT YOUR AND SUCH THIRD-PARTY’S FUTURE PURCHASE OF SERVICES OR PRODUCTS ON THIS SITE.

Important Information Regarding Currency and Exchange Rates

Purchases made on our Site are transacted in different currencies, depending on the user’s IP address and/or the currency that the user selects. If you make a purchase from us using a credit or debit card, please be aware that, due to the constant fluctuation in exchange rates, our charge to your card or the estimated charge amount we provide you, may differ based on the exchange rate at the time you make your reservation versus the rate at the time the charge is reflected on your credit card statement. Also, in the event that we must credit your account, we will refund the exact amount in the currency initially charged and will not be responsible for any fluctuations in exchange rates which may cause differences in your billing statement.

Late Arrival

While you should call EJW Media, Inc. (800-756-4071) if you wish to cancel a cancellable reservation in advance of your reservation, if you are going to be delayed on the date of your reservation or find that you cannot dine at the restaurant you booked on the date you requested, you should contact the restaurant to let them know. If you fail to check in for your reservation within 15 minutes of the reservation time, your table may be given away, and you will not be entitled to a refund. In that event, EJW Media, Inc. and the Dining Services Provider will credit your account and you will be allowed to use the credit for another reservation with that specific Dining Services Provider for another date.

If your disability needs cannot be accommodated by the Dining Services Provider, please call EJW Media, Inc. customer service.
