You may signify your acceptance and agreement to the Agreement, including the disclaimers of Section 6, liability limitations of Section 7, and mandatory arbitration provision in Section 8, by either checking the “I Accept” box.  This Agreement is effective as of the date you check the “I Accept” box (the “Effective Date”). If you do not agree to the Agreement, do not check the “I Accept” box.

We reserve the right to change or revise the Agreement at any time, in our sole discretion. If we make changes to the Agreement, we will provide you with notice of such changes, such as by sending an email notification. If you do not accept the changes, you must stop using the Services. Your continued use of our Services after we send you notice of our changes to the Agreement means that you are consenting to the updated Agreement. We encourage you to review this Agreement frequently to ensure that you understand the terms that apply when you use our Services and purchase Services from us. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the you and Savanti regarding the Services, superseding all other agreements between you and Savanti with respect to the Services, whether oral or written.

  1. Services.  We provide our experience, research, guidance, and connections to trusted providers to assist in satisfying your travel needs and the travel needs of your immediate family (the “Services”).  You are responsible for the ultimate choices for your travel as well as for booking and paying for your travel, lodging, and activities.  We do not ordinarily assist in booking activities (i.e., Broadway shows, dining reservations, etc.), though we may from time to time, in our sole discretion, assist in booking such activities.
  2. Fees. For the Services, you agree to pay us a mutually-agreeable monthly fixed fee (the “Fee”), payable in advance at the beginning of each month. We may, upon thirty (30) days prior notice, change the amount of the Fee for any future, unpaid month.  If you do not agree to the new Fee, you may terminate the Services as set forth in Section 3.  In addition to the Fee, you are responsible for (i) all costs associated with carriers, hotels and other suppliers providing travel or other services to you and your immediate family and (ii) all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental entity on any amounts payable by you hereunder. You agree to provide us with current, complete, accurate and authorized payment information (e.g. credit card or ACH).  You represent and warrant to us that you are authorized to use the designated payment method and you hereby authorize us to (i) charge such payment method for the total amount of Fees (including any applicable taxes and other charges) when due, (ii) charge such credit card or other payment method on a periodic recurring basis in accordance with the terms set forth herein, (iii) use a third-party to process such payments, and (iv) disclose such payment information to such third-party.  In the event we are unable to process payment for any amounts owed, we may suspend or terminate the Services at any time following such payment failure.
  3. Term and Termination. This Agreement begins as of the Effective Date and will continue thereafter until terminated as set forth herein (the “Term”).  You or we may, at any time and for any reason, terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party.
  4. Confidentiality. From time to time during the Term, either party (as the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose or make available to the other party (as the “Receiving Party”), non-public, proprietary, and confidential information of Disclosing Party that, if disclosed in writing or other tangible form is clearly labeled as “confidential,” or if disclosed orally, is identified as confidential when disclosed, or, if by its nature, should reasonably be understood to be confidential (“Confidential Information”); provided, however, that Confidential Information does not include any information that: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of Receiving Party’s breach of this Section 4; (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a third-party source, provided that such third-party is not and was not prohibited from disclosing such Confidential Information; or (c) was in Receiving Party’s possession prior to Disclosing Party’s disclosure hereunder. The Receiving Party shall: (x) protect and safeguard the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care as the Receiving Party would protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than a commercially reasonable degree of care; (y) not use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or permit it to be accessed or used, for any purpose other than to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement; and (z) not disclose any such Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the Receiving Party’s Group who need to know the Confidential Information to assist the Receiving Party, or act on its behalf, to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement. If the Receiving Party is required by applicable law or legal process to disclose any Confidential Information, it shall, prior to making such disclosure, use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Disclosing Party of such requirements to afford Disclosing Party the opportunity to seek, at Disclosing Party’s sole cost and expense, a protective order or other remedy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not be liable for (i) a data breach of any system used by us or any third-party with whom we interact in performance of the Services or (ii) any disclosure of Confidential Information by us that required to be disclosed in order for us to perform the Services.
