The Travel Planners Compass acts solely as a provider of publicly available information and opinions, often aggregated from third-party sources over which we have no control. We disclaim liability for errors, omissions, changes, or inaccuracies in such sources, including travel conditions, supplier performance, or external links. Travelers are solely responsible for verifying passport and visa requirements, health advisories, local laws, and all other travel prerequisites through official channels such as government websites or embassies.

By using this site, you agree to release, discharge, and hold harmless The Travel Planners Compass, its affiliates, and its representatives from any claims, demands, losses, or damages arising from your use of the Content or any trips planned therewith. This includes risks from known or unknown hazards, supplier negligence, or unforeseen events. You voluntarily assume all such risks.

The Travel Planners Compass reserves the right to update, modify, or remove the Content at any time without notice. Governing law shall be that of the State of California, with any disputes resolved as specified in the arbitration provision below. If any provision of this disclaimer is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Your continued use of this site constitutes acceptance of this disclaimer.


Arbitration and Dispute Resolution

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of The Travel Planners Compass or the Content, including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this disclaimer (collectively, “Disputes”), shall be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration and not in a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding.

The arbitration shall be administered by a reputable arbitration provider (such as the American Arbitration Association) under its consumer arbitration rules then in effect, and the arbitration shall take place in Los Angeles County, California, unless you and The Travel Planners Compass mutually agree to a different location or to a documents-only or remote proceeding. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any relief that would be available in a court under law or in equity, subject to the limitations of this disclaimer. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

You and The Travel Planners Compass each waive any right to a jury trial and agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. If a court determines that this class action waiver is unenforceable with respect to a particular claim, then that claim shall proceed in court and not in arbitration, but the remaining claims shall be arbitrated.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court or seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction in Los Angeles County, California, to protect its rights or property pending final resolution of the Dispute through arbitration.
