All reservation requests are subject to availability, trade eligibility and certain other terms, limitations and restrictions may apply.

THE NEW YORK EDITION (limited inventory) : 5 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010
This hotel listing was printed from Active International's Travel Website at travel.activeinternational.com. Greater detail about each hotel may be found on the website. You must be a client to log on and purchase any travel inventory.
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.

We may charge you a fee to access your personal data, provided that we advise you of any such fee in advance. Your right to access personal data is not absolute, and we may not be able to allow you to access certain personal data in certain circumstances (e.g., if the information contains personal data of other persons or it is subject to legal privilege). In the event that we cannot provide you with access to, or the ability to correct, your personal data, we will use reasonable means to inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.

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.
16. California Privacy Rights
Data Privacy Rights. Pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CCPA”), California residents are entitled to certain data privacy rights:
Submit a Privacy Request. To submit a privacy request, you may contact us using any of the following means: (email) privacy@activeinternational.com, (mail) Active Media Services, Inc., ATTN: Data Privacy, One Blue Hill Plaza, Pearl River, NY 10965, or (interactive webform) Webform. An authorized agent must be registered with the California Secretary of State to conduct business in California.
Privacy Request Verification Process. If you (or your authorized agent) make any request related to your personal information, the Active will ascertain your identity (and the identity of the authorized agent, to the extent applicable) to the degree of certainty required or permitted under the law before addressing your request. In particular, the Active will, to the extent required or permitted by law, require you (or your authorized agent) to verify your request via email, request certain contact information or government identifiers, and we will match at least two pieces of such personal information with data that we have previously collected from you before granting you access to, erasing, or correcting, specific pieces or categories of personal information, or otherwise responding to your request. We may require written documentation that demonstrates a third party is authorized to serve as your agent for the purposes of submitting the requests set forth herein, unless you have provided the authorized agent with power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code §§ 4121 to 4130. None of the CCPA’s rights are absolute, and such rights are subject to legal and regulatory exceptions and exemptions. For more information about the CCPA, please see: https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa.
Opt-Out Rights / Do Not Sell My Personal Information. California residents have the right to opt out of the “sale” of their personal information. However, the Active does not sell your personal information to third parties for profit or monetary or other valuable consideration, and therefore we do not provide opt-out request processes for the sale of personal information (because we do not undertake such activities).
Opt-Out Rights / Do Not Share My Personal Information. California residents have the right to opt out of the “sharing” of their personal information. The Active uses third-party analytical and targeted advertising features on our Site and similar web tools provided by our marketing partners, and such features, tools and marketing relationships involve the disclosure of your personal information to third parties and may constitute the “sharing” of your personal information for CCPA purposes. To opt out of this sharing of your personal information in these circumstances, please click on the cookie management tool (sometimes visible as a “Privacy Choices” or a “Do Not Sell/Share My Personal Information” link on the footer of the Site) to set your cookie preferences. You, or your authorized agent, may also contact us in accordance with the “Contact Us” section listed below.
Children. The Site is not directed at, and should not be used by, minors under the age of sixteen (16), and therefore the Active does not knowingly sell or share the personal information of minors under sixteen (16) years of age.
Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information. The Active does not use or disclose sensitive personal information for reasons other than those set forth in the CCPA, and therefore we do not provide individuals with the ability to limit how we use or disclose such sensitive personal information.
17. Virginia and other State Privacy Rights
Data Privacy Rights. Pursuant to the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, Virginia residents are entitled to certain data privacy rights:
Submit a Privacy Request. To submit a privacy request, you may contact us using any of the following means: (email) privacy@activeinternational.com, (mail) Active Media Services, Inc., ATTN: Data Privacy, One Blue Hill Plaza, Pearl River, NY 10965, or (interactive webform) Webform.
Privacy Request Verification Process. If you make any request related to your personal information, the Active will ascertain your identity (and the identity of the authorized agent, to the extent applicable) to the degree of certainty required or permitted under the law before addressing your request. In particular, the Active will, to the extent required or permitted by law, require you (or your authorized agent) to verify your request via email, request certain contact information or government identifiers, and we will match at least two pieces of such personal information with data that we have previously collected from you before granting you access to, erasing, or correcting, specific pieces or categories of personal information, or otherwise responding to your request. None of Virginia’s privacy rights are absolute, and such rights are subject to legal and regulatory exceptions and exemptions.

Opt-Out Rights / The Sale of Personal Information. Virginia residents have the right to opt out of the “sale” of their personal information. However, the Active does not sell your personal information to third parties for or monetary consideration, and therefore we do not provide opt-out request processes for the sale of personal information (because we do not undertake such activities).
Opt-Out Rights / Targeted Advertising. Virginia residents have the right to opt out of having their personal information used for targeted advertising purposes. The Active uses third-party analytical and targeted advertising features on our Site and similar web tools provided by our marketing partners. To opt out of this sharing of your personal information in these circumstances, please click on the cookie management tool (sometimes visible as a “Privacy Choices” or a “Do Not Sell/Share My Personal Information” link on the footer of the Site) to set your cookie preferences.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a resident of Nevada, you have the right to opt out of the sale of certain personal data to third parties who intend to license or sell that personal data. You can exercise this right by emailing us at privacy@activeinternational.com with the subject line “Nevada Do Not Sell Request” and providing us with your name and the email address associated with your account.

We collect and use personal information, including personal information provided by a third party (e.g., refer-a-friend program), to administer and maintain any of our sweepstake, contests, rewards, donation, give-aways and/or financial incentive programs (collectively “Rewards Programs”). We use the personal information you provide in these programs to verify your identity, offer unique rewards, track your program status, and facilitate the provision of reward and/or Services, promotional materials, marketing and business offerings, and other items. If you consent to participate in any of our Rewards Programs, you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us in accordance with the “Contact Us” section listed below or in accordance with the instructions set forth in the applicable Rewards Program’s terms and conditions. The Company may use personal information gathered from, or related to, participants in our Rewards Programs for any other purpose or in any other manner set forth in this Privacy Statement.
California Rewards Program Rights. Pursuant to the CCPA, you may be entitled to be informed as to why financial incentive programs, or price or service differences, are permitted under the law, including (i) a good-faith estimate of the value of your personal information that forms the basis for offering the financial incentive or price or service difference, and (ii) a description of the method we used to calculate the value of your personal information. Generally, we do not assign monetary or other value to personal information. However, in the event we are required by law to assign such value in the context of Rewards Programs, or price or service differences, we have valued the personal information collected and used as being equal to the value of the discount or financial incentive provided, and the calculation of the value is based upon a practical and good-faith effort often involving (i) the categories of personal information collected (e.g., names, email addresses), (ii) the transferability of such personal information for us and our Rewards Programs, (iii) the discounted price offered, (iv) the volume of consumers enrolled in our Rewards Programs, and (v) the product or service to which the Rewards Programs, or price or service differences, apply. The disclosure of the value described herein is not intended to waive, nor should it be interpreted as a waiver to, our proprietary or business confidential information, including trade secrets, and does not constitute any representation with regard to generally accepted accounting principles or financial accounting standards.

Availability
We will use our reasonable commercial efforts to keep our Site available on a 24-hour/7-day-a- week basis, subject to necessary scheduled downtime for maintenance, unscheduled maintenance, and system outages. We cannot promise that access to the Site will be uninterrupted or available at all times. We assume no liability or responsibility for any delay, interruption, or downtime. Our Reservation Center is open M-F 8:30 am to 5:30 pm excluding all major holidays and may be contacted at 1-800-852-8864 or reservations@activeinternational.com
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.

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.”
