IN NO EVENT SHALL EXPEDIA BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, YOUR ACCESS TO, OR USE OF THE SITE OR WITH ANY DELAY OR INABILITY TO ACCESS, DISPLAY OR USE THE SITE, INCLUDING OUR INVESTIGATION OF YOUR USE OF THE SITE, WHETHER BASED ON A THEORY OF NEGLIGENCE, CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, AND EVEN IF EXPEDIA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

The limitations of liability provided in these terms inure to the benefit of Expedia.

GENERAL TERMS

You hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of courts located in King County, Washington, USA, for all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or use of the Site.

If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired.
