Use your Active Trade Credits to Purchase Travel

We facilitate your purchase of hotel accommodations but do not ourselves sell hotel accommodations nor are we a co-vendor associated with the vendors of hotel rooms booked through this Site.

Hotel accommodations marketed on our Site are offered pursuant to two different models.

Under the first model, you will pay Active the prevailing room rate available to Active at the time of reservation request, including estimated state and local room taxes and a service fee to cover Active's costs of processing and handling the payment of your room taxes (this is referred to on the Site as the "Estimated Taxes and Service Fee"). We provide an estimate of such state and local room taxes based on tax rate information that has been provided to us by the hotels or which we reasonably expect the hotels to charge. Taxability and the appropriate tax rate and the type of applicable taxes vary greatly by location. Active makes reasonable efforts to ensure that the estimated tax rates charged through this Site are accurate. If you pay to Active the Estimated Taxes and Service Fee, you will have no liability to Active should additional room taxes be due in respect of your room rate beyond what you are charged upon completing your transaction for the room and room nights booked through the Site. In the unlikely event that actual tax rates are in fact lower than the estimated tax rates charged through this Site, Active will retain the difference as part of its service fee.

Under the second model, you will pay Active the prevailing room rate, excluding room taxes. When room taxes are excluded, i.e. required to be paid by you directly to the hotel rather than to Active on the Site, you will be required to pay all such applicable room taxes directly to the hotel at checkout. In this case, we will still provide to you estimated state and local room taxes based on tax rate information that has been provided to us by the hotels or which we reasonably expect the hotels to charge (this is referred to as "Estimated Taxes" on the Site). We do not include any service fee with respect to Estimated Taxes, which are not paid to Active. While Active makes reasonable efforts to ensure that the estimated tax rates are accurate, the actual state and local room taxes charged by the hotel and required to be paid by you may vary.

Please be aware that you (and/or any guests) may also incur charges at hotel(s) that are not payable to Active or included in your quoted price on the Site which nonetheless are your sole responsibility and must be paid by you directly to the hotel at the time of check-out in accordance with the hotel's prevailing policies, including, without limitation, any other governmental charges or taxes, any resort fees/service charges, charges for food and beverage, extra-person or extra-bed charges, gratuities, hotel energy surcharges, parking fees, internet, WI FI, telephone fees, room service, movies, mini-bar, transfers/transportation, and any other incidentals. For this reason, you will be required to provide a valid credit card at time of check-in to cover all such charges. All Members, authorized users and hotel guests must comply with each hotel's standard terms and conditions.

15. European Union (EU), Switzerland, and United Kingdom (UK)

Data Protection Rights. If you are located in the EU, Switzerland, or the UK, you have the following data protection rights:

• Right to Know. The right to know about what personal data we collect and process about you, including the types and categories of personal data we collect and process, the sources of such personal data, our retention criteria, with whom we share your personal data, cross-border data transfers, and how to file complaints and inquiries. Such information is set forth in this Privacy Statement.
• Automated Decision Making. We do not engage in any activity that subjects our customers, Site users, survey participants, or others to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects, or similarly significant results, impacting them.
• Access Rights. You may ask us whether we process any of your personal data and, if so, receive access to such personal data. When complying with an access request, we will also provide you with additional information, such as the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned as well as any other information necessary for you to exercise the essence of this right.
• Rectification. You have the right to have your personal data corrected/rectified in case of inaccuracy or incompleteness. Upon request, we will correct inaccurate personal data about you and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, update any incomplete personal data, which may include the provision of a supplementary statement.
• Erasure. You have the right to have your personal data erased, which means the deletion of your personal data by us and, where possible, any other controller to whom your data has previously been disclosed. However, your right to erasure is subject to statutory limits and prerequisites (e.g., where your personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the initial purposes for which it was processed, your personal data was processed unlawfully).
• Restriction of Processing. You have the right to obtain the restriction of the processing of your personal data, which means that we suspend the processing of your personal data for a certain period of time. Circumstances which may give rise to this right include situations where the accuracy of your personal data is contested, but we need time to verify the inaccuracy (if any) of your personal data.
• Data Portability. You have the right to request us to provide you with your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to have such data transmitted directly to another controller, where technically feasible.
• Right to Object. You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data, which means you may request us to no longer process your personal data. This only applies in case the “legitimate interests” ground (including profiling) constitutes the legal basis for processing (see below “Legal Basis for Processing”). However, at any time (and free of charge) you can object to having your personal data processed for direct marketing purposes.
• Withdrawing Consent. You also may withdraw your consent at any time if we are solely relying on your consent for the processing of your personal data. However, this will not impact our legal basis to process such personal data prior to the withdrawal of your consent.

To exercise any of these data privacy rights, please contact us, or have your designated agent contact us, in accordance with the “Contact Us” section listed below. To the extent permitted by law, we will need to verify your identity (or the identity of your agent) and ensure the authenticity of your request.

Legal Basis for Processing. We process your personal data in accordance with the legal bases set forth in law. For example, our processing of personal data (as described herein) is justified based on the following legal grounds:

• Consent. Processing is based on your consent (e.g., you register to receive our marketing materials, you voluntarily contact us).
• Legitimate Interests. Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests as set out herein (e.g., monitoring your use of the Site and your compliance with the terms and conditions governing the same, improving our Services).
• Contract Undertaking. Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party (e.g., you purchase or consider purchasing our Services).
• Legal Compliance. Processing is required to comply with a legal or statutory obligation (e.g., tax disclosures)

Complaints. In the event you have concerns about our data processing, you have the right to file a complaint with your data protection authority. For data protection authorities in the EU, please see here: https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/about-edpb/members_en. For the data protection authority in Switzerland, please contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/en/home.html). For the data protection authority in the UK, please contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to deal with your concerns before you approach a data protection authority with a complaint, and invite you to contact us in the first instance.

17. Virginia and other State Privacy Rights

The categories of personal data we process, our purposes for processing your personal data, the categories of personal data that we share with third parties and the categories of third parties with whom we share it are detailed above in our Privacy Statement.

• Right to delete. You have the right to delete personal data that you have provided by or that we have obtained about you.

Content

Through our Site, we provide an online platform through which you can browse different types of then available Products and Services and make and/or request to make a Booking, including making payment for such Bookings on line in advance with a credit card. 

When rendering our services, the information that we disclose about Products and Services is based on the information provided to us directly or indirectly by Providers (or service providers engaged or licensed by us or Providers to provide information about Providers), including all rates, availability, description, pictures, booking conditions, accommodation policies and other information which is displayed on the Site.  Although we will use commercially reasonable skill and care in performing our services we will not verify if, and cannot guarantee that, all information is accurate, complete, correct or up to date, nor can we be held responsible for any errors (including manifest and typographical errors), interruptions (whether due to any (temporary and/or partial) breakdown, repair, upgrade or maintenance of the Site or otherwise), inaccurate, misleading or untrue information or non-delivery of information. Additionally, changes in market conditions or circumstances may occur on short notice which may make information displayed on the Site inaccurate or outdated. We assume no liability or responsibility for any errors or omissions regarding information provided on the site about Products and Services or any Provider. You are responsible for evaluating the accuracy, completeness, and usefulness of any opinion, advice, or other content available through the Site.

In case of problems, our Reservation Center customer service will use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist you and serve as a point of contact with the Provider.  Please note that Active’s inventory with Providers is finite, and that when a search result indicates that a particular Provider is not available through our Site, that means the room type is not available for reservation through us.

The Site does not constitute and should not be regarded as a recommendation or endorsement of (the quality, service level or rating of) any Providers or Products and Services listed on the Site. We hereby expressly disclaim any representation, warranty or undertaking in relation to the quality, status or adequacy of any Accommodation listed on the Site.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right to, and our discretion, refuse or cancel bookings in exceptional cases and will notify you of the refusal or cancellation by email to the address you provided when you made your booking. Typical reasons for rejecting or cancelling a booking include, but are not limited to: Provider request(s), actual or suspected violation of Club rules, e.g. reselling of any accommodations booked through the Site on an individual, breach of the Terms, force majeure events, trade or economic sanctions, embargoes, legal restrictions, closures (by reason of pandemic, e.g. Covid 19 or otherwise) (suspicions of) fraud or theft, suspected criminal activity, suspicious bookings, submission by you of misleading or erroneous information, payment instrument problems, inappropriate behavior, threats, insults, violence, refusal to supply information, practical obstacles, communication problems, obvious errors (see below), history, blacklisting by governments or international organizations, etc. If your booking is rejected or cancelled by Active and a payment has already been made, you will receive a refund of the total booking value, (except in the case of breach of the Terms wherein refund of the total booking value or any part thereof is not justifiable).

In rare cases, we may also have to cancel or reject a booking or make adjustments due to “obvious errors”, independent of the origin of such errors. For clarity, an obvious error is a mistake on the Site (e.g. in terms of price, conditions, points) which a reasonable person would not consider to be normal. If your booking is affected by an obvious error, we will notify you by email at the address you provided when you made the booking and will adjust the booking, and will, if  relevant, refund some or all of the amount charged.

A star or other denoted ratings, or any reference on the Site to a rating on the Site are provided for your information only and are based on information we have received from Providers or services providing information about Providers to our Site. We do not independently verify star ratings. Please be aware that star ratings can vary greatly on the basis of location, available alternatives, local market conditions, practices or other circumstances.

Copyright Counter-Notices
If Content you posted on the Site was removed for copyright or intellectual property infringement and you would like to dispute that removal, the process for counter-notifications is governed by Section 512(g) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act:

• To file a counter-notification with us, you must provide a written communication that sets forth the items specified below.
• Please note that under Section 512(f) of the Copyright Act, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability.  Please also be advised that we enforce a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of Customers who are infringers.  Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain material infringes the copyrights of others, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.

Elements of Counter-Notification
To expedite our ability to process your counter-notification, please use the following format (including section numbers):

• Identify the specific URLs of material that Active has removed or to which Active has disabled access.
• Provide your full name, address, telephone number, email address and the Customer name of your Active account.
• Provide a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or New York County, New York; if your address is outside of the U.S.A.), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification to Active in accordance with the process outlined above or an agent of such person.
• Include the following statement: “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.”
• Sign the notice.  If you are providing notice by email, a scanned physical signature or a valid electronic signature will be accepted.  Send the communication to the following address:

After we receive your counter-notification, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original claim of copyright infringement.  Please note that when we forward the counter-notification, it includes any of your Identifying Information set forth in the counter-notification.  By submitting a counter-notification, you consent to having such Identifying Information revealed in this way.  We will not forward the counter-notification to any party other than the original claimant.

After we send out the counter-notification, the claimant must then notify us within ten (10) days that he or she has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Site.  If we receive such notification, we will be unable to restore the items.  If we do not receive such notification, we may, but are not obligated to, reinstate the disputed item(s).

Foreign Counter-Notification:  If you reside outside of the United States, please understand that filing a counter-notice may lead to legal proceedings between you and the complaining party to determine ownership.  Be aware that there may be adverse legal consequences in your country if you make a false or bad faith allegation by using this process.  Please also be advised that we enforce a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of Customers who are infringers.  So, if you are not sure whether Content you posted on the Site is being infringed, or are otherwise unsure of whether to file a counter-notification using these procedures, we strongly recommend you first contact a lawyer knowledgeable in the laws of the United States.  If you do wish to file a counter-notice, you should follow the process set forth above under the heading “Elements of Counter-Notification.”
