Terms of Service

Terms of Service

Hopper Inc. and its affiliates (“Hopper”) provide the Hopper mobile applications and the Hopper website (“Apps”) for use by you (“User”) for the purposes of utilizing Hopper data and proprietary predictive algorithms to search for, and receive notifications about, flights, hotels, and other travel services; booking and payment for such travel services; purchasing Hopper and/or third-party products; utilizing published Hopper reports (“Hopper Research Data”); and other related services (collectively, “Services”). Hopper provides you access to the Services and the Apps, subject to your acceptance of all of the following Terms and Conditions (“Terms”), which constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Hopper.  By accessing, downloading, copying, and/or using a Hopper App, and/or the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. Hopper may make changes to these Terms by updating them at any time and your continued use of our Services after any changes come into effect will constitute your acceptance of the updated Terms. Any existing bookings will continue to be governed by the Terms that applied to your booking when the booking was made. We recommend that you save or print a copy of these Terms.

PLEASE REVIEW THE “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” OF THESE TERMS (SECTION 13) CAREFULLY, AS IT REQUIRES YOU TO RESOLVE ANY FUTURE DISPUTES WITH HOPPER THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, AND YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING AGAINST HOPPER. 

You should also read Hopper’s separate PRIVACY NOTICE, which explains how Hopper handles and uses the data that Hopper collects when you use the Apps and Services, and which is incorporated by reference in these Terms. By agreeing to these Terms, you also consent to the collection and use of data as set forth in Hopper’s Privacy Notice.

If you need to contact Hopper Customer Support, you can reach Hopper 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: 

  • by phone, by calling +1-833-933-HOP1 (+1-833-933-4671) toll-free from the US / Canada, or +1 (347)-695-4555 (a Support ID from the trips section of the App will be required);

1. Use of the Apps and Services; Restrictions

1.1. Acceptable Use. You may use the Apps and the Hopper Services only for lawful personal use, and in accordance with these Terms, to search for and make travel bookings and/or related purchases for yourself, or non-commercially on behalf of a person who has authorized you to do so. Hopper may, in its sole discretion, terminate your right to use the Apps and Services at any time, and may take all available legal recourse for actual or suspected violations of these Terms, including cancellation of bookings made in violation of these Terms. Any delay by Hopper in taking such actions does not constitute a waiver of Hopper’s rights to enforce these Terms. By making the Apps and Services available for your use, Hopper does not consent to act as your agent or fiduciary. Depending on the Service, any termination or cancellation as a result of a violation of these Terms, or an applicable provider’s terms, may result in the termination of an applicable booking without a refund.

1.2. Use Restrictions. The Apps and Services are not intended for use by any person who is, and you are not permitted to use the Apps or Services if you are, under the age of 16 or under the legal age of majority in the jurisdiction in which you reside. Other than information required to complete a booking, Hopper does not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from minors under the age of 16. If a minor under 16 has provided us with personal information without parental or guardian consent, the parent or guardian may contact us by emailing us at privacy@hopper.com, in which case we will remove the information and unsubscribe the minor from any of our electronic marketing lists. 

You may not use the Apps or Services if you are identified on any U.S. or Canadian government list of prohibited, sanctioned, or restricted parties, or if you are located in a country that is subject to a U.S. or Canadian government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. or Canadian government as a "terrorist supporting" country.  

While you may make copies of information related to your booked travel reservations, you may not attempt, or enable any third-party to attempt, to access, copy, decompile, disassemble, or reverse-engineer, distribute, sublicense, publish, interrupt, destroy, or interfere with the source code, libraries, databases, algorithms, data, or Hopper systems or networks that make up the Services or the Apps, or attempt to circumvent any security controls included in the Apps. You may not attempt, or enable any third-party to attempt,  to access the Apps or Services using any automated tools, including without limitation the use of bots, artificial intelligence (AI) systems, spiders, crawlers, scrapers or other similar tools, or other technology not authorized by Hopper. You may not use (through any method, including any of the foregoing), or enable any third-party to use (through any method, including any of the foregoing), any content from the Services or the Apps (including, but not limited to, copying images, customer reviews, descriptions, prices, etc.) for any purpose other than booking travel for an individual user of the Services or the Apps. You may not, nor enable any third-party to, deep-link to any portion of Apps (including, without limitation, the purchase path for any travel services) or frame, mirror or otherwise incorporate any part of the Apps into any other app or site without Hopper’s prior express written authorization.  You may not, nor enable any third-party to, use the Apps or Services for any purpose that is fraudulent or deceptive.  If your right to access the Apps or Services has been previously revoked by Hopper, all use of the Apps or Services is prohibited.

1.3. Updates. Hopper may update the Apps and Services from time to time in order to improve the Apps and/or the Services. You agree to install all updates in a timely manner. If you delay or refuse updates to the App, this may compromise or prevent us from delivering the Services.

2. Payment Authorizations

2.1. Hopper Accounts/Guest Checkout. In order to make purchases using the Apps and Services, from Hopper and/or from third-party travel service providers (e.g., airlines, hotels, rental car providers, property managers, etc.), you will need to register for a Hopper account using the telephone number associated with your mobile device, and a Hopper account will be created automatically using the information you provide (except for Guest Checkout). You may create only one account per individual. You agree: (i) to provide and maintain accurate, current and complete information for your Hopper account, (ii) to maintain the security of your account by not sharing, disclosing, or making available access credentials to any unauthorized person, and (iii) to notify Hopper promptly if you discover or otherwise suspect any security breaches relating to your use of the Apps or Services. You agree to be responsible for all activities and purchases that occur using your Hopper account, and you accept all risks of unauthorized access to your Hopper account resulting from any act or omission by you in violation of these terms. If you are using Hopper’s website to access the Services, you may be permitted to make purchases without creating or logging into an account, by entering your traveler and one-time payment information at the time of booking (“Guest Checkout”).  Information entered in connection with a Guest Checkout will be stored for that booking only, and will not be linked to any prior or future bookings. By accessing Hopper’s website without an account, you may not have access to rates and/or discounts available to logged-in Users.

2.2. Deactivating an Account. If you cease to use the phone number associated with your Hopper account, you must notify Hopper immediately by emailing privacy@hopper.com in order to deactivate your account and your account data.   

2.3. Payment Methods. Hopper enables you to make purchases from Hopper, and/or third-party travel service providers, by linking a valid, authorized debit, credit,  prepaid credit card or other authorized payment method to your Hopper account (“Payment Instrument”).  You may change the Payment Instrument associated with your Hopper account or add additional Payment Instruments at any time. By linking a Payment Instrument to your Hopper account, or entering a payment method in connection with a Guest Checkout, you represent to Hopper that you are an authorized user of the Payment Instrument. You are responsible for ensuring that the Payment Instrument(s) associated with your Hopper account is at all times current, non-expired, and valid for payments. Your Hopper account is not a bank account. Hopper is not a bank and does not offer banking or “money transmission services,” and is not a “money service business,” as those terms are defined by the United States Department of Treasury.

2.4. Payment Authorization. You authorize Hopper, and/or applicable third-party travel service providers, to charge your linked or entered Payment Instrument(s) for the total amount of all purchases or other payment transactions initiated in the Hopper Apps using your Hopper account, or by you as a Guest Checkout, as necessary to complete the purchase, payment or other financial transaction requested or agreed to by you, including without limitation all fees and taxes. In some cases, Hopper may pass your Payment Instrument(s) to a third party travel service provider (such as an airline, rental car service, property manager or hotel) in order to process your authorized payment. By making a booking, you authorize such transfer of your Payment Instrument. In the event you are entitled to a reversal, refund, chargeback, or other adjustment associated with a transaction you made using your Payment Instrument, you also authorize a credit to your Payment Instrument(s) by Hopper as necessary to execute that transaction. Some payments utilizing Klarna may be subject to Klarna’s terms and conditions and privacy notice.

2.5. Failed Transactions. In the event that a charge to any Payment Instrument fails, you agree to link a new, valid Payment Instrument within three (3) business days of notification by Hopper. Your Hopper account will be disabled, and all purchased Hopper products and third party travel services may be cancelled, until a valid Payment Instrument is provided and the outstanding uncharged balance is resolved. You further authorize Hopper to attempt to re-submit any failed charge to any Payment Instrument(s) associated with your account at subsequent times until successful.  Hopper is not responsible for any charges imposed by the issuer of your Payment Instrument as a result of any failed charge or re-charge by Hopper.  To the extent that Hopper is unable to successfully charge any Payment Instrument linked to your Hopper account as payment for authorized transactions for more than thirty (30) days, you understand and agree that Hopper may employ a collection agency or other business in an effort to collect any outstanding debts and fees associated with your Hopper account, and you will not contest the use of a third party to collect the debt and fees owed to Hopper. You agree that you will be responsible for any legal, court, arbitration or collection agency fees associated with rectifying your Hopper account and all monies owed thereunder. You agree that Hopper, or any agency or business employed by Hopper, has the right to contact you and your heirs via telephone, email or (if not prohibited by law) in-person using the information you provided upon registration or during any contact with Hopper, or any other publicly available or attainable information, in an effort to collect any monies and fees owed to Hopper, whether specifically referenced in these Terms or not, and such contact may be made in a manual or automated fashion.

2.6. Test Authorizations. At the time of linking any Payment Instrument to your Hopper Account, you consent to Hopper temporarily authorizing a charge on that Payment Instrument, typically for $1.00 or less, as part of our verification process. You will not be required to pay this charge, and it will disappear from your Payment Instrument statement within a few days.

2.7. Unauthorized Transactions; Lost Devices. If any transaction receipt received by you appears incorrect, or was unauthorized or fraudulent, you shall notify Hopper immediately, by contacting Hopper Support (“Support”) from the “Trips” page within the Apps or the Hopper Help Center. In the event that you lose any mobile device on which an App linked to your Hopper account is installed (“Lost Device”), you shall notify Hopper immediately by contacting Hopper at privacy@hopper.com. You should always secure any device on which a Hopper App is installed.

2.8. Currency Conversions. Some prices and/or fees provided in the Apps or Services for purchases may be displayed to you in a default, or your preferred or selected, currency, although the charge made to your Payment Instrument by a third-party service provider will be in a local currency. In these cases, the amount charged to your Payment Instrument for the purchase may vary slightly from the amount displayed, due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates beyond Hopper’s control. Your Payment Instrument provider or issuer may also include a fee to process the transaction or convert currency, plus any applicable taxes for international purchases.

3. Consent to Electronic Communications, Disclosures and Notices; Paper Copies. 

3.1.  By accepting these Terms, you agree that Hopper will provide the Terms, its Privacy Policy, and all other applicable terms, and any amendments made by Hopper thereto, as well as all disclosures, notices, transaction receipts, transaction authorizations, and all transaction statements or other information required by law (“Disclosures”), electronically by publishing in the Apps, through in-App messaging, and/or to the email address you provide.  Your electronic acceptance or receipt of the Disclosures, and/or your continued use of the Apps and Services after publication of the Disclosures by Hopper, has the same effect as if you received them in paper, or signed them in ink. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, Disclosures are considered received and accepted by you within 24 hours of the time posted to our website or Apps, or emailed or messaged to you, whether or not you choose to read them. In order to access and retain the electronic Disclosures you will need, and represent that you have, the following: (i) a computer or mobile device with an internet connection; (ii) a valid email address that can receive emails from @hopper.com and (iii) sufficient storage space to save past Disclosures and/or an installed printer to print them. You have a right to receive Disclosures in paper form. If you wish to receive a paper copy of any Disclosure, or any transaction receipt, you may request a copy of the Disclosure or receipt within 180 days of the date of the Disclosure or receipt. Hopper will provide paper copies free of charge. Requests to receive any paper copy, or to withdraw your consent to future electronic Disclosures, may be made by mailing a written request to Hopper (USA), Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 265 Franklin Street, Suite 1702, Boston, MA 02110. Requests to cancel your consent to future electronic Disclosures will be completed in a reasonable time. Hopper reserves the right to terminate your Hopper account if you withdraw consent to future electronic Disclosures. You may update the information required to contact you electronically using a Hopper App.

3.2. Consent to Communications and Contact. By registering a Hopper account and/or making any purchase or booking using the Services, you consent to be contacted by Hopper, and/or by the third-party provider of the travel services booked, electronically, including via email, phone, SMS, in-app messaging, or other available digital messaging service, for any purpose related to your use of the Apps or Services, and/or any bookings or other purchases made by you via the Apps or Services.

3.3. Your computer and/or mobile device must be connected to the internet in order to access the Apps and Services and to make and receive communications to/from Hopper, including to contact Hopper’s customer service team within the Apps. You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for your device to have internet connectivity and are responsible for all  third-party charges related to  such access and/or the transmission and receipt of data.

3.4. When you make a booking with Hopper, you agree that communications to Hopper’s Customer Support team related to your booking may be made either within the Hopper App used to make the booking, via in-App messaging and/or chat functionality, or other channels, such as phone, SMS, or email, that may be initiated by Hopper or you.   

4. Hopper Predictions and Sort Order

4.1. Hopper’s price prediction Services and notifications provide a powerful tool to assist you in finding the best time to book travel and save money. Hopper works hard to ensure the accuracy of its predictions based on past data and current trends. However, forecasting price movements in a highly competitive, unpredictable global market has inherent limitations, and no prediction tool can be 100% accurate. Accordingly, while Hopper believes strongly in the accuracy of its predictions, Hopper does not guarantee their accuracy, and shall not be liable for any reliance upon them, except as expressly set forth in the terms of any Hopper product purchased by you, such as a Hopper Price Freeze or Price Drop Protection option. 

4.2. When you search for flights, hotels or homes, or car bookings in the Hopper Apps, Hopper provides you a number of options for displaying, filtering, and sorting the results.

4.2.1. Hopper’s default flight search results provide you first with an identification of the flights identified by Hopper’s algorithms as “Recommended,” including for example as “Best Flight,” “Best Quality,” “Cheapest” or “Fastest.” Hopper uses a number of factors to identify a “Recommended” flight, and Hopper’s recommendation algorithms and core search and order algorithms are not impacted by any fees paid to Hopper. Hopper may sometimes display certain flight listings above the search results, which are paid-for commercial listings from our airline partners. Such listings are labeled for your information as "Ad" or similar labeling.

4.2.2. Hopper offers different options to display your search hotel results. You can use the “sort by” setting to order your search results based on price, user rating, star rating, "Recommended", or other criteria as may be available to you from time to time. When sorting based on star and user ratings, Hopper may use review scores and other data from third party providers, which we do not verify. If no specific sort order option is selected, Hopper’s default hotel search results provide you with a listing of the properties identified by Hopper’s algorithms as “Recommended” for you, based on a number of factors which may include price, location, amenities, the popularity of the property, the quality of the content provided by the property and the competitiveness of the property’s rates and availability. In addition, when determining the relative order of properties with similar offers in your search results listings, Hopper’s recommendation algorithms may be impacted by the compensation received by Hopper in connection with the reservation, any hotel marketing programs and/or marketing relationships with certain properties.  Hopper may also label certain recommended properties as "Hopper Picks", to signify that the property is one of Hopper's preferred partners. As we continue to improve our services to provide you with the best service, we may change our search results criteria and may test different default sort order algorithms from time to time. Hopper also sometimes displays hotels within the search results that are paid-for commercial listings from our hotel partners. Such hotels are labeled for your information as “Ad” or similar labeling.

4.2.3. Hopper’s default vacation rentals search results provide you with an identification of the hotels or rentals identified by Hopper as “Recommended” for you based on a number of factors including price, location, and amenities. Hopper’s recommendation algorithms are not impacted by any fees paid to Hopper.

4.2.4. Hopper’s default cars search results provides you first with an identification of cars identified by Hopper as “Recommended” for you based on a number of factors. In addition, when determining the relative order of rental companies with similar offers in your search results listings, Hopper’s recommendation algorithms may be impacted by the compensation received by Hopper in connection with the reservation, and/or in connection with any car rental marketing programs and/or marketing relationships with certain car rental companies.  As we continue to improve our services to provide you with the best service, we may change our search results criteria and may test different default sort order algorithms from time to time.

5. Third-Party Travel Services

5.1. The Hopper Apps and Services provide access to travel information, such as flight, hotel, vacation rentals, or car pricing and availability, features and amenities, and terms and conditions, provided and maintained by third-parties. These third-party providers are independent contractors and not agents of Hopper. Your contract for these travel services is with the third-party provider, and not with Hopper.  While Hopper works hard to ensure correctness, Hopper cannot verify, and is not responsible for, the accuracy of information provided by third parties regarding their respective services. Hopper also is not liable for the acts, errors, delays, omissions, representations, warranties, breaches, bankruptcy, or negligence of any such third-party providers or for any personal injuries, death, property damage, or other damages or expenses resulting from third-party provided services.  Hopper is not responsible to make any refund in the event of any delay, failure, breach, cancellation, overbooking, strike, force majeure or other causes beyond Hopper’s direct control.  By offering third-party travel services for booking via the Hopper Apps and Services, Hopper does not endorse, or make any representation or warranty about, the quality of any service provider.   In addition, unless otherwise expressly set forth, Hopper does not purport to be affiliated with, or to be endorsed by any third-party service providers.  

5.2. The purchase of third-party travel products and services through the Apps or Services, and entitlement to cancellation or refunds for such services, will be governed by and subject to additional terms and conditions from such providers, and subject to laws and regulations imposed by government entities, and you agree to abide by all such terms, laws, and regulations.  Where possible, Hopper will make these terms available to you. However, additional applicable terms may be provided on the third-party provider’s website. The purchase of certain third-party travel products and services will be subject to these terms and conditions. Please read the additional provider terms and conditions carefully prior to purchase from any third-party service provider using the Hopper Apps and Services, and ensure that you understand the full terms applicable to your airfare, hotel, vacation rental, trip insurance, car rental, or other third-party service. If you make bookings on behalf of another person(s) with their authorization, you agree that you will inform such other person(s) about these Terms and any third-party terms, rules and restrictions that apply to the bookings made on their behalf. You understand and agree that any violation of third party terms of service may result in a cancellation of your bookings, denial of service, and forfeit of any amounts paid. Hopper is not responsible for any damages resulting from your violation of third party terms. 

5.3. Air Bookings: Air travel bookings are only confirmed once the purchase has been completed and the tickets have been issued, as confirmed to you by Hopper by email and/or through in-App messaging following your purchase. In some cases, it may take up to 46 hours for your confirmed Hopper booking to be reflected in the carrier’s ticketing system. Until such time, you may not be able to view information about your reservation on the carrier’s website.

5.3.1. Multi-Ticket Travel. Hopper may offer you the opportunity to book air travel by combining multiple one-way tickets, on one or more airlines, instead of a single one-way or roundtrip ticket. Combining one-way tickets in this manner may provide a greater choice of flights, at lower cost. However, each one-way ticket in your journey will be subject to its own airline rules, restrictions and fees. For such travel, if one of your flights is impacted by a flight irregularity (e.g., an airline-initiated cancelation, delay or schedule change) and such irregularity may cause you to miss your departure for another flight on which you are separately ticketed, the airline for that other flight is under no obligation to re-accommodate you, and you remain responsible for any charges due to changes (if permitted) to the routing, travel dates or times, or carriers, for the portion of your journey covered by such separate ticket(s). Some tickets may not be eligible for passenger-initiated changes under applicable fare rules, and “no-showing” for a flight may result in the ticket being canceled and losing all remaining value.

Multi-ticket travel may require switching terminals and / or picking up baggage and re-checking baggage prior to the next scheduled flight in the itinerary. This may require the possible exit and re-entry of security. Prior to purchasing a multi-ticket itinerary, please be aware of any timing considerations that may impact your ability to complete your trip. You are solely responsible for retrieving your luggage in between destinations and being aware of any baggage and security obligations in between connections.

5.3.2. International Air Travel. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you meet all of the entry requirements imposed by governmental authorities at your destination(s), including countries you may just be transiting through, including health and passport/visa requirements, and that your travel documents, such as passports and visas (transit, business, tourist, and otherwise), are in order. Hopper does not provide advice regarding entry requirements for any destination. You must consult the appropriate embassy or consulate, as well as the applicable airline policies, for such information. Requirements may change and you should check for up-to-date information before booking and departure. Hopper is not responsible if you are refused entry onto a flight or into any country due to your conduct, including your failure to satisfy any entry requirements, or your failure to carry the correct and adequate travel documents required by any travel provider, authority or country (including countries you are transiting through). This includes all stops made by an aircraft, even if you do not leave the aircraft or airport. Some governments require airlines to provide personal information about all travelers on their aircraft. If applicable, the data will be collected either at the airport when you check in or in some circumstances when you make your booking. Please contact the relevant airline you are travelling with if you have any questions. BY OFFERING RESERVATIONS FOR TRAVEL PRODUCTS IN PARTICULAR DESTINATIONS, HOPPER DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT TRAVEL TO SUCH AREAS IS ADVISABLE OR WITHOUT RISK, AND IS NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OR LOSSES THAT MAY RESULT FROM TRAVEL TO SUCH DESTINATIONS. 

5.3.3. Advice to International Passengers on Limitations of Liability. PASSENGERS EMBARKING UPON A JOURNEY INVOLVING AN ULTIMATE DESTINATION OR A STOP IN A COUNTRY OTHER THAN THE COUNTRY OF DEPARTURE ARE ADVISED THAT THE PROVISIONS OF AN INTERNATIONAL TREATY (THE WARSAW CONVENTION, THE 1999 MONTREAL CONVENTION, OR OTHER TREATY), AS WELL AS A CARRIER’S OWN CONTRACT OF CARRIAGE OR TARIFF PROVISIONS, MAY BE APPLICABLE TO THEIR ENTIRE JOURNEY, INCLUDING ANY PORTION ENTIRELY WITHIN THE COUNTRIES OF DEPARTURE AND DESTINATION. THE APPLICABLE TREATY GOVERNS AND MAY LIMIT THE LIABILITY OF CARRIERS TO PASSENGERS FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY, DESTRUCTION OR LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, BAGGAGE, AND FOR DELAY OF PASSENGERS AND BAGGAGE.

ADDITIONAL PROTECTION CAN USUALLY BE OBTAINED BY PURCHASING INSURANCE FROM A PRIVATE COMPANY. SUCH INSURANCE IS NOT AFFECTED BY ANY LIMITATION OF THE CARRIER’S LIABILITY UNDER AN INTERNATIONAL TREATY. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONSULT YOUR AIRLINE OR INSURANCE COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE. 

​​5.3.4. Notice of Contract Terms Incorporated by Reference. Your contract of carriage with the carrier that provides you with carriage by air, whether international, domestic or a domestic portion of an international journey is subject to this notice; to any notice or receipt of the carrier; and to the carrier’s individual terms and conditions (Conditions), related rules, regulations and policies (Regulations) and any applicable tariffs. If your carriage is by more than one carrier, different Conditions, Regulations and any applicable tariffs may apply for each carrier. The Conditions, Regulations and any applicable tariffs of each carrier are, by this notice, incorporated by reference into and made part of your contract of carriage. The Conditions may include, but are not restricted to: (a) Conditions and limits on the carrier’s liability for the bodily injury or death of passengers; (b) Conditions and limits on the carrier’s liability for the loss of, damage to or delay of goods and baggage, including fragile or perishable goods; (c) rules for declaring a higher value for baggage and for paying any supplementary fee that may apply; (d) application of the carrier’s Conditions and limits of liability to the acts of the carrier’s agents, servants and representatives, including any person providing either equipment or services to the carrier; (e) claims restrictions, including time limits by which passengers must file claims or bring actions against the carrier; (f) rules about reconfirmations or reservations; check in times; the use, duration and validity of air transportation services; and the carrier’s right to refuse carriage; (g) rights of the carrier and limits on the carrier’s liability for delay or failure to perform a service, including schedule changes, substitution of alternative carriers or aircraft and re-routing, and, when required by applicable law, the obligation of the carrier to notify passengers of the identity of the operating carrier or substituted aircraft; and (h) rights of the carrier to refuse carriage to passengers who fail to comply with applicable laws or who fail to present all necessary travel documents.

You can obtain additional information on items (a) through (h) above and about your contract of carriage (including how to request a copy thereof) at places where transportation on the carrier is sold.  Many carriers also have this information on their websites.  When required by applicable law, you have the right to inspect the full text of your contract of carriage at the carrier’s airport and sales offices, and upon request, to receive a copy by mail or other delivery service from each carrier free of charge. If a carrier sells air transportation services or checks baggage specifying carriage on another carrier, it does so only as agent for the other carrier.

In certain countries, when payment is taken at the time of booking, Hopper is the travel provider for the purposes of making the travel service available to you. In such instances, the terms and conditions provided by the underlying supplier (such as an airline’s conditions of carriage, or a property’s terms and conditions, etc.) will also apply to your booking.

5.3.5. Itinerary Changes/Cancellations. Itinerary changes or cancellations you request (i.e., voluntary refunds), if permitted under the airline fare rules applicable to your ticket, may be subject to airline-imposed fees in addition to any fare differential at re-ticketing. Such fees vary by airline. Your airline may permit a portion of the fare paid for an unused nonrefundable ticket to be applied toward the purchase of future travel. For many airlines, tickets not changed or canceled prior to departure have no remaining value. Refunds for no-shows will only be due to you in line with the relevant rules and restrictions for the applicable airline.

5.3.6. Tax Refunds. In case of a no-show or cancellation of an air booking, you may be entitled to a refund of government taxes and fees included in the price of the ticket purchased.  Where you are eligible for a refund, you can request such a refund from Hopper customer service, who will submit your request to the airline on your behalf.

5.3.7. EU Traveler Rights. If you are traveling into or out of the European Union, or on an EU-based airline, you may have rights in the event that your flight is cancelled, delayed or you are denied boarding. Please consult Regulation (EC) 261/2004 for more information.

5.3.8. Hazardous Materials. Federal law forbids the carriage of hazardous materials aboard aircraft in your luggage or on your person. A violation can result in five years' imprisonment and penalties of $250,000 or more (49 U.S.C. 5124). Hazardous materials include explosives, compressed gases, flammable liquids and solids, oxidizers, poisons, corrosives and radioactive materials. Examples: Paints, lighter fluid, fireworks, tear gases, oxygen bottles, and radio-pharmaceuticals. There are special exceptions for small quantities (up to 70 ounces total) of medicinal and toilet articles carried in your luggage, spare lithium batteries and certain smoking materials carried on your person. Certain items are required to be carried with you onboard the aircraft. Spare lithium batteries and cigarette lighters must be removed from checked or gate-checked baggage and carried onboard the aircraft.

5.3.9. Airline Prohibited Practices. The circumvention of an air carrier’s rules, including practices such as back-to-back ticketing (booking two or more tickets with overlapping travel dates in order to circumvent minimum stay requirements) and hidden-city, point beyond or throwaway ticketing (booking tickets that include segments you do not intend to use in order to circumvent an air carrier’s pricing structure), is prohibited by many air carriers. You agree that you will not use the Apps or Services to engage in these or similar activities if prohibited by an airline. CARRIERS RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE CARRIAGE TO ANY PERSON WHO HAS ACQUIRED A TICKET IN VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAW OR THE CARRIER’S TARIFFS, RULES OR REGULATIONS.

5.3.10. Required Information. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, requires Hopper to collect information from you for purposes of watch list screening, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. Sec. 114, and the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. TSA may share information you provide with law enforcement or intelligence agencies or others under its published system of records notice. For more information, please see www.tsa.gov

5.3.11. Data Transfer. GOVERNMENTS MAY REQUIRE YOUR AIRLINE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON OR PERMIT ACCESS TO PASSENGER DATA, INCLUDING INFORMATION WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO COLLECT FROM YOU DURING THE RESERVATION PROCESS.

 5.3.12.  U.S. Notice – Overbooking of Flights. Airline flights may be overbooked, and there is a slight chance that a seat will not be available on a flight for which a person has a confirmed reservation. If the flight is overbooked, no one will be denied a seat until airline personnel first ask for volunteers willing to give up their reservation in exchange for a payment of the airline’s choosing. If there are not enough volunteers the airline will deny boarding to other persons in accordance with its particular boarding priority. With few exceptions persons denied boarding involuntarily are entitled to compensation. The complete rules for the payment of compensation and each airline’s boarding priorities are available at all airport ticket counters and boarding locations. Some airlines do not apply these consumer protections to travel from some foreign countries although other consumer protections may be available. Check with the airline or your travel agent.

5.3.13. Baggage. Excess valuation may be declared on certain types of articles. Carriers may apply special rules for fragile, valuable, or perishable articles. Check with your carrier. Checked Baggage: Carriers may permit a free checked baggage allowance, which is set by the carrier and may differ by class, and/or route. Carriers may apply extra charges for checked baggage in excess of their permitted allowance. Check with your carrier. Cabin (Unchecked) Baggage: Carriers may permit a free cabin baggage allowance, which is set by the carrier and may differ by class, route, and/or aircraft type. It is recommended that cabin baggage be kept to a minimum. Check with your carrier. If more than one carrier is providing the transportation for your journey, each carrier may apply different rules on baggage (both checked and cabin). SPECIAL BAGGAGE LIABILITY LIMITATIONS FOR U.S. TRAVEL: For domestic travel wholly between U.S. points, federal rules require any limit on a carrier’s baggage liability to be at least US $3,800 per passenger, or the amount currently mandated by 14 CFR § 254.5.

5.3.14. Check-In Times.  The time shown on the itinerary/receipt is the departure time of the aircraft. Flight departure time is not the same as the time you must check-in or the time you must be available for boarding. Your carrier may refuse you carriage if you are late. Check-in times, as advised by your carrier, are the latest times at which passengers can be accepted for travel; boarding times, as advised by your carrier, are the latest times at which passengers must present themselves for boarding. Flights cannot be held for late-arriving passengers, and Hopper accepts no responsibility in such cases.

5.3.15. Aircraft Disinsection. Some countries may require aircraft cabin insecticide treatment for in-bound foreign flights. A list of such countries is available at https://www.transportation.gov/airconsumer/spray.

5.3.16. Sequence of Travel. Airlines require passengers to travel as per the itinerary shown on their ticket, from the place of departure via any agreed connecting points to their final destination, and vice versa. If all the segments are not used in sequence, the ticket as a whole will lose its validity in most circumstances.

5.3.17. Hopper may receive commissions or other financial incentives from air carriers in connection with your air booking via the Services that Hopper provides. In some cases, this incentive may be realized by Hopper as a markup included within the price that you pay to Hopper for such booking, and that price may differ from the price reflected on your carrier ticket or itinerary.    

5.3.18. Flights sold in the United Kingdom by Hopper are sold as agent of the carrier named on your ticket, and are not protected under the Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing scheme.

5.4. Hotel Bookings. Hotel bookings are only confirmed once the purchase has been completed and a confirmation has been issued to you by Hopper by email and/or through in-app messaging following your purchase. Room rates are dynamic and can change at any time.

5.4.1. Paid Bookings. In some cases, Hopper, directly and/or in partnership with other entities, has pre-negotiated certain room rates with hotel suppliers to facilitate your booking of hotels. In connection with these Services, Hopper sometimes charges a fee, which is combined with and included in the rate that you see displayed in the Apps, and which may vary depending on the booking. This displayed rate may also include applicable taxes and third party service fees. When you make a prepaid hotel booking, you authorize Hopper to charge the full displayed amount and to facilitate the reservation(s) on your behalf at the time of booking (“Paid Booking”), including making payment arrangements with hotel suppliers and third parties. Your payment to Hopper at time of booking shall satisfy your payment obligations to the hotel provider for such Paid Booking. If you select a “Pay Later” room rate when booking, the hotel provider typically will charge your payment method in the local currency at the time of your stay, at any time from the time of booking prior to check-in or as otherwise notified to you during the booking process. You cannot use miles, travel credits, or offers towards paying for your hotel booking when you choose this option.

5.4.2. Cancellations. You may cancel or change your Paid Booking, but you will be charged the cancellation or change fee indicated in the rules and restrictions for the hotel booking, subject to applicable law. If you do not cancel or change your Paid Booking before the cancellation policy period applicable to the hotel you reserved, which varies by hotel (usually 24 to 72 hours prior to your date of arrival), you will be subject to a charge equal to applicable nightly rates, tax recovery charges and service fees. In the event you do not show for the first night of the booking and plan to check-in for subsequent nights in such booking, you must confirm the changes with us no later than the date of the first night of the booking to prevent cancellation of your booking. Refunds for no-show will only be due to you in line with the relevant rules and restrictions for the hotel booking. You agree to pay any cancellation or change fees that you incur. In limited cases, some hotels do not permit changes to or cancellations of Paid Bookings after they are made, as indicated in the rules and restrictions for the hotel. Subject to applicable law,  if you make a “Non-refundable” booking, your payment made at the time of booking is not refundable and will be forfeited in the event of cancellation of the booking. You agree to abide by the Terms of Use imposed with respect to your Paid Booking.

5.4.3. Incidental and Other Charges by Hotel. Some hotel suppliers may require you to present a credit card or cash deposit upon check-in to cover additional expenses incurred during your stay. Such deposit is unrelated to any payment received by Hopper for your hotel booking. You are responsible for payment of all additional expenses during your stay, including for example, resort fees, energy surcharges, newspaper delivery fees, in-room safe fees, tourism fees, or housekeeping fees, parking charges, minibar charges, phone calls, room service and movie rentals.

5.4.4. Ratings. Hotel ratings displayed in the Apps are intended only as general guidelines, and Hopper does not guarantee or endorse any hotel, or the accuracy of any ratings.

5.4.5. Taxes.  In connection with facilitating your hotel booking transaction, Hopper may charge your method of payment for taxes and fees. This charge includes an anticipated amount to recover the amount Hopper pays to the hotel supplier in connection with your reservation for taxes owed by the hotel supplier, including, without limitation, sales and use tax, occupancy tax, room tax, excise tax, value added tax and/or other similar taxes. In certain locations, the tax amount may also include government imposed service fees or other fees not paid directly to the taxing authorities but required by law to be collected by the hotel supplier. Taxes or tax recovery charges are generally calculated or estimated on the prices displayed through the App before any discounts (including Carrot Cash), coupons and loyalty points that may be applicable to your booking, unless those discounts, coupons and loyalty points are considered as a reduction in price for the purposes of calculating or estimating taxes in the relevant jurisdiction for the booking. Taxes and fees displayed during the search and shop stages on the Apps are estimated; taxes and fees payable at the time of booking are calculated and disclosed on the check-out page. Except as provided below, Hopper is not the vendor collecting and remitting taxes to the applicable taxing authorities. The hotel supplier is responsible for remitting applicable taxes to the applicable taxing jurisdiction. Taxability and the appropriate tax rate vary greatly by jurisdiction. In certain jurisdictions, Hopper is responsible for collecting and remitting sales, use and/or local hotel occupancy taxes for the entire price. The amount paid to the hotel supplier or the taxing authority, as applicable, in connection with your reservation for taxes may vary from the amount Hopper anticipates and includes in the charge to you. The amount of taxes can change between the booking date and stay date. If taxes have changed by your stay date, you may be liable to pay taxes at the higher rate.

To the extent applicable, the you acknowledge and agree that the supplier shall be treated by any tax authority in any pertinent jurisdiction as the supplier to the customer of e-collect bookings and the travel service component of an API partner package (where applicable) for VAT purposes as applied by Directive 2006/112/EC (where applicable) and any equivalent domestic legislation in any country.

5.5. Vacation Rental Bookings. Vacation Rental bookings are only confirmed once the purchase has been completed and a confirmation has been issued to you by Hopper by email and/or through in-app messaging following your purchase. 

5.5.1. Paid Bookings for Homes.  Hopper, directly and/or in partnership with other entities, has pre-negotiated certain rates with suppliers or property managers or their third party representatives (“Homes Providers”) to book home reservations and/or vacation rentals (“Homes”). In connection with these Services, Hopper sometimes charges a fee, which is combined with and included in the rate that you see displayed in the Apps, and which may vary depending on the booking. This displayed rate may also include applicable taxes and third party service fees. When you make a Paid Booking for Homes, you authorize Hopper to charge the full displayed amount on behalf of the Homes Provider for the booking of the Home(s),  which may be charged to your payment instrument in a single transaction or multiple transactions as disclosed at the time of booking. Hopper will facilitate communication regarding your reservation(s) with Home Providers. Hopper and its payment processor act as the agent of the Providers in receiving payment for advance Homes bookings, and receipt of your payment by Hopper or its payment processor shall satisfy your payment obligations to the Home Provider for such booking (except in the case of a chargeback or other payment reversal).  

5.5.2. Cancellations. You may cancel or change your Paid Booking for Homes, but you will be charged the cancellation or change fee on behalf of your Home Provider indicated in the rules and restrictions for the applicable reservation, subject to applicable law. If you do not cancel or change your reservation before the cancellation policy period applicable to the property you reserved, which varies by Home Provider, prior to your date of arrival, you may be subject to a charge on behalf of your Home Provider equal to applicable nightly rates, tax recovery charges and service fees. In the event you do not show for the first night of the reservation and plan to check-in for subsequent nights in your reservation, you must confirm the reservation changes either with us or the Homes Provider, as applicable, and such changes must be pursuant to the rules and restrictions applicable to your reservation. Subject to applicable law, you agree to pay any cancellation or change fees that you incur. In limited cases, some Homes Providers do not permit changes to or cancellations of reservations after they are made, as indicated in the rules and restrictions for the reservation. You agree to abide by the applicable terms of use imposed with respect to your Paid Booking for Homes. This may include losing any deposit paid by you for your Paid Booking.

5.5.3. Incidental and Other Charges by Property Managers or Suppliers. Some Homes Providers may require you to pre-authorize a deposit to be charged to your credit card, or require a cash deposit upon check-in to cover additional expenses incurred during your stay. Such deposit is separate and unrelated to any payment received by Hopper on behalf of your Home Provider for your Home rental booking. You are responsible for payment of all additional expenses during your stay, including for example, housekeeping fees, resort fees, etc.

5.5.4. Guest Responsibilities / Assumption of Risk. You are responsible and liable for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you invite to join or provide access to any Home, all areas and facilities where the Home is located that the Home Provider and guest are legally entitled to use in connection with the Home (“Common Areas”), or any other Service. For example, this means: (i) you are responsible for leaving a Home (and related personal property) or Common Areas in the condition it was in when you arrived, (ii) you are responsible for paying all reasonable damage amounts, and (iii) you must act with integrity, treat others with respect, and comply with applicable laws at all times. If you are booking for an additional guest who is a minor or if you bring a minor to a Home, you must be legally authorized to act on behalf of the minor and you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor.

You acknowledge that many activities carry inherent risks and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Apps and any content, including your stay at any Home, or any other interaction you have with other Home Providers whether in person or online. This means it is your responsibility to investigate a Home to determine whether it is suitable for you.

5.5.5. Rules and Restrictions; Property Damage. Each Home has specific restrictions and requirements set forth by the Homes Provider. You are responsible for complying with all terms of the Homes booking including, without limitation, the cancellation policy and any other rules, standards, policies, or requirements identified in the listing, during the checkout process, or otherwise communicated to you by Hopper or the Homes Provider prior to your stay. This may include restrictions on age, guests, pets, etc. Further, you acknowledge that if a valid claim is made, you may be liable for any damage you, your guests, or pets (if applicable) have caused to the Home during your booking. You agree that you have proper authority to enter into and accept any Home Provider’s applicable terms, damage policy, or cancellation policy on behalf of yourself or your guests. 

In the event you are found to violate: (i) these Terms, (ii) any rules or restrictions as set forth by a Home Provider, or (iii) any applicable law, the Home Provider, or Hopper, in its sole discretion or on behalf of a Home Provider, may cancel your Homes booking. This may include terminating your booking without any refund.

5.5.6. Ratings. Home ratings displayed in the Apps are intended as only general guidelines, and Hopper does not guarantee or endorse any Home, property manager, or the accuracy of any ratings.

5.5.7. Taxes and Fees.  In connection with facilitating your Home booking transaction, Hopper may charge your method of payment for taxes and fees. This charge includes an anticipated amount to recover the amount Hopper provides to the Homes Provider in connection with your reservation for taxes owed by the Homes Provider, or which Hopper remits to taxing authority on behalf of a Homes Provider, including, without limitation, sales and use tax, occupancy tax, room tax, excise tax, value added tax and/or other similar taxes. In certain locations, the tax amount may also include government imposed service fees or other fees not paid directly to the taxing authorities but required by law to be collected by the Homes Provider, or by Hopper on behalf of the Homes Provider. Hopper may not always be the entity collecting and remitting taxes to the applicable taxing authorities. The balance of the charge for Service Fees is a fee Hopper retains as part of the compensation for the Services.

5.5.8. Third-Party Terms of Service. In order to secure your Hopper Home reservation, we may be required to provide your information to third-party Home supply aggregators and/or technology or connectivity providers in order to facilitate the reservation. You acknowledge that Hopper is not responsible for any third-party provider terms and conditions or privacy policy, or any information or content provided for any third-party provider’s terms and conditions or privacy policy.

5.5.9. Electronic Communications. In connection with your Hopper Home booking, we may share information and communicate with third-party Homes Providers, including property managers, in order to enable such service providers to fulfill a reservation. As a result, third-party service providers, including property managers, may contact you directly to facilitate your booking. You hereby consent to receive such electronic communications from third party service providers in connection with your Hopper Home reservation. Hopper is not responsible for the content of such third-party communications including, but not limited to, marketing or promotional materials sent directly to you from a third party service provider, including property managers. You further acknowledge that we may contact third party service providers in order to satisfy your reservation and subsequently contact you via electronic communications to complete your booking.

5.5.10. Other Terms Applicable to Home Providers. In addition to these Terms, by listing a Home for use on the Apps, Home Providers, which includes individual property managers or individuals or entities authorized to act on behalf of a Home Provider, agree to abide by applicable law and other Hopper terms and conditions applicable to the Homes they list. This includes, as applicable, Hopper Homes Host Damage Guarantee Terms of Service, Hopper Homes Host Terms of Service, or for other property management companies, Hoppers’ Homes Distribution Agreement, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

In the event a Home is listed on the Apps, Hopper shall have authority to interact with the individual or entity that created the listing on behalf of the Home Provider. In the event such individual gives Hopper authority to enforce any specific rule or restriction of the Home, the Home Provider shall be responsible for abiding by such authorization. This includes payouts or refunds to guests or cancellations. By listing on the Apps, Home Providers represent and warrant that unless a Home is found to be fraudulently listed on the Apps without the Home Provider’s consent, Home Providers and their representatives have authority to create a listing on the App. Home Providers remain responsible and liable for such listing(s) and any content they create or content created on their behalf by any third party. Accordingly, Home Providers represent and warrant that any listing(s) created and posted on the Apps, including any listing(s) created on a Home Provider’s behalf by any third party, and the Home(s) in such listing(s): (i) will not breach any agreements the Home Provider has entered into with any third parties, such as homeowners association, condominium, lease or rental agreements; and, (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws (such as zoning laws and laws governing rentals of residential and other properties), tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Homes included in the applicable listing(s) (including having all required permits, licenses, and registrations), and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties.

5.6. Third-Party Sites. The Apps and Services may contain links to third-party websites that are not operated by Hopper. These links are provided for reference only.

13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION; WAIVER OF RIGHTS

13.1. ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.  You agree that all claims, disputes, or disagreements that may arise out of the interpretation of or performance under  these Terms, any payments to Hopper, or otherwise related in any way to your use of the Apps or Services and/or the content therein, shall be submitted exclusively to binding arbitration, except that each party retains: (i) the right to bring an individual action in small claims court for disputes and actions within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction; and (ii) the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. Arbitration means that an arbitrator and not a judge or jury will decide the claim. Rights to prehearing exchange of information and appeals may also be limited in arbitration. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND HOPPER ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. You further acknowledge and agree that you waive your right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Hopper otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this class action waiver is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Dispute Resolution" section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this "Dispute Resolution" section will survive any termination of these Terms. 

For any Dispute that cannot be resolved by Customer Service, you and Hopper agree to make a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute informally prior to initiating a formal arbitration proceeding.  Before initiating an arbitration, you and Hopper each agree to first provide the other with a detailed written notice (“Notice of Dispute”).  The Notice of Dispute must include (i) the name, telephone number, mailing address, email address, and Account number (if applicable) of the person or entity providing the notice; (ii) sufficient information to enable you or Hopper to identify any transaction at issue (including any receipts or order confirmations); (iii) a detailed statement of the legal claims asserted and the factual basis for those claims; and (iv) a detailed description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good-faith calculation of the amount in controversy.

The Notice of Dispute must be personally signed by the party initiating the Dispute (and their counsel, if represented).  Your Notice of Dispute to Hopper must be sent by mail to Hopper (USA), Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 265 Franklin Street, Suite 1702, Boston, MA 02110 or via email to legal@hopper.com.  Hopper’s Notice of Dispute to you must be sent by mail or email to the most recent contact information that you have provided to Hopper.

For a period of 60 days from the date of receipt of a completed Notice of Dispute from the other party, you and Hopper agree to make attempts to resolve the Dispute prior to commencing an arbitration and not to commence an arbitration proceeding until the 60-day post-notice resolution period expires, which period may be extended by agreement of the parties.  If requested by the party that receives the Notice of Dispute, the other party must personally appear at and participate in a telephone settlement conference (if a party is represented by counsel, counsel may also participate) to discuss the Dispute. 

Compliance with and completing this informal dispute resolution process is a condition precedent to filing any formal dispute resolution proceeding, including a demand for arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in this informal dispute resolution process.

If the sufficiency of a Notice of Dispute or compliance with this mandatory informal dispute resolution process is at issue, it may be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction at either party's election, and any formal dispute resolution proceeding shall be stayed pending resolution of the issue. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce this condition precedent to arbitration, which includes the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of a demand for arbitration or the assessment or payment of arbitration fees.  You or we may also elect to raise non-compliance with this informal dispute resolution process and seek relief in arbitration.

13.2. Arbitration Rules. Any arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” provision, the AAA will administer the arbitration in accordance with either (A) the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect, or (B) the Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect if the matter involves a “consumer agreement” as defined by Consumer Arbitration Rule R-1 (together, the "Applicable AAA Rules"). (The Applicable AAA Rules are available at https://www.adr.org/Rules or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this entire “Dispute Resolution” provision.

13.3. Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the Applicable AAA Rules. (The AAA provides applicable forms for Demands for Arbitration at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Demand_for_Arbitration_0.pdf (Commercial Arbitration Rules) and https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer_Demand_for_Arbitration_Form_1.pdf (Consumer Arbitration Rules), and a separate affidavit for waiver of fees for California residents only is available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/AAA%20Affidavit%20for%20Waiver%20of%20Fees%20Notice%20California%20Consumers.pdf.) The demand for arbitration must be personally signed by the party initiating arbitration (and their counsel, if represented). By signing the demand for arbitration, a party (and their counsel, if represented) certifies that they have complied with (a) the mandatory process described in Section 13.1 above, and (b) all of the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), including that the claims and relief sought are neither frivolous nor brought for an improper purpose. The arbitrator is authorized to award any relief or impose any sanctions available under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 or applicable federal or state law against all represented parties and counsel as a court would. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the county in which you reside and will be selected in accordance with the Applicable AAA Rules. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within fourteen (14) days of the AAA’s notice to the parties of its receipt of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

13.4. Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless you and Hopper otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Hopper submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the Applicable AAA Rules. Subject to the Applicable AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by a phone, video, or in-person hearing, or solely through written submissions, except the respondent in any arbitration where the claimant is seeking $10,000 or more or injunctive relief shall have the right to elect an in-person, video, or phone hearing. You and Hopper reserve the right to request a hearing in any matter from the arbitrator. You and Hopper representative will personally appear at any hearing (with counsel, if represented). Any in-person hearing will be held in the county or parish in which you reside or at another mutually reasonably convenient location.

If 25 or more individuals submit Notices of Dispute or attempt to initiate arbitrations with Hopper raising similar claims, and counsel for the individuals bringing the claims are the same or coordinated for these individuals (“Mass Filing”), you and Hopper agree that if the claims are not resolved and proceed to arbitration, these additional procedures shall apply, and the resolution of your Dispute might be delayed and ultimately proceed in court if not resolved through the process set forth below.

The parties agree that throughout this process, their counsel shall meet and confer in an effort to informally resolve the Disputes, streamline procedures, address the informal exchange of information, modify the number of Disputes to be adjudicated and to promote efficiency, conservation of resources, and the resolution of claims.

If your claim is part of a Mass Filing, any applicable limitations periods (including statutes of limitations) shall be tolled for your Dispute from the time that the Mass Filing is first submitted to AAA until your Dispute proceeds in arbitration or is settled, withdrawn, otherwise resolved, or opted out of arbitration pursuant to this Section.

Counsel for the individuals and counsel for Hopper shall each select 10 cases (per side) to proceed as cases in individual arbitration proceedings as part of an initial staged process.  Alternatively, either side’s counsel may elect to have their 10 cases selected randomly.  The number of Disputes to be selected to proceed as part of this initial staged process can be increased by agreement of counsel for the parties.  The parties will meet and confer in good faith to arrange for a mutually convenient location or manner for the arbitration of Disputes selected for this initial staged process to take place.  No other cases may be filed in arbitration or deemed to have been filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed or collected in connection with those claims by the AAA until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process.  

If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the first stage of arbitration proceedings, the parties shall participate in a mediation session before a mediator jointly selected by counsel for the parties in an effort to resolve the remaining Disputes.  Hopper shall pay the mediation fee.  Upon the conclusion of this mediation session, any Disputes part of the Mass Filing that are not settled or withdrawn shall be opted out of arbitration and may proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of the Terms.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, counsel for the parties may mutually agree to proceed with the adjudication of some or all of the remaining disputes in arbitration and a second mediation session.

If these mass arbitration procedures apply to your Notice of Dispute, any statute of limitations applicable to the claims set forth in that Notice will be tolled from the time the first cases are selected for the initial staged process described above, until the claimant’s Notice is selected for a subsequent staged process, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court will have the authority to enforce these mass arbitration procedures and, if necessary, to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations and the assessment or collection of arbitration fees.

The additional procedures for Mass Arbitration set forth herein and each of its requirements are essential parts of the Arbitration Agreement. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, a court of competent jurisdiction decides that this section applies to your Dispute and is not enforceable, then your Dispute shall not proceed in arbitration and shall only proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of the Terms.

13.5. Arbitrator's Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the Applicable AAA Rules. The arbitrator's decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator's award of damages and/or other relief must be consistent with the terms of the "Limitations of Liability" section above as to the types and the amounts of damages or other relief for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide the relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. If the arbitrator determines that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, and only if authorized under applicable law, the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.

13.6. Fees. Payment of arbitration fees will be governed by the applicable AAA Rules and fee schedule. You and Hopper agree that the parties have a shared interest in reducing the costs and increasing the efficiencies associated with arbitration, and agree to work together in good faith to ensure that arbitration remains economical and cost-effective for all parties.

13.7. Changes. Hopper reserves the right to change this "Dispute Resolution" section, but any such changes will not apply to disputes arising before the effective date of such amendment. Notwithstanding the provisions of the modification-related provisions above, if Hopper changes this "Dispute Resolution" section after the date you first accepted the Terms(or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you agree that your continued use of the Apps or Services after such change will be deemed acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree to such change, you may reject any such change by providing Hopper written notice of such rejection by mail or hand delivery to: Hopper, Attn: Legal Department, 265 Franklin Street, Suite 1702, Boston, MA 02110 or by email from the email address associated with your account to: legal@hopper.com, within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated herein. In order to be effective, the notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this "Dispute Resolution" section. By rejecting changes, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and Hopper in accordance with the provisions of this "Dispute Resolution" section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms, as applicable). 

14. Additional Terms.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement of the parties as to its subject matter, and supersede all prior written and oral representations and discussions between the parties. The Terms shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without reference to principles of conflicts of laws, except as otherwise provided above in Section 13. No delay or omission by Hopper in exercising any of its rights occurring upon any noncompliance or default by you with respect to these Terms will impair any such right or be construed to be a waiver thereof, and a waiver by Hopper of any of the covenants, conditions or agreements to be performed by you will not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or of any other covenant, condition or agreement hereof contained. You may not assign any of your rights arising under these Terms without Hopper’s written consent. Except as provided in Section 13 above (Dispute Resolution), if any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then these Terms will remain in full force and effect and will be reformed to be valid and enforceable while reflecting the intent of the parties to the greatest extent permitted by law. The provisions of these Terms are entered into for the benefit of Hopper and you and there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any other Hopper agreement, terms, or policy provided to you, directly or indirectly, these Terms shall prevail.

15. Updates and Changes.  

Hopper may make changes or updates to these Terms at any time, at its discretion. Hopper will provide notice of such changes by publishing an amended version of these Terms within the Apps, and changes shall be effective upon publication. It is your responsibility to monitor the Apps regularly for changes to these Terms. You agree that if you do not agree to any such change, you shall immediately stop using the Apps and Services. Your failure to do so, or continued use of any App or Service, shall constitute agreement to these Terms as so amended, except as provided for under Section 13.7.

Effective Date of these Terms of Service:  Version 1.19; November 7, 2025
