THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBES THE TERMS ON WHICH LEXYL TRAVEL TECHNOLOGIES, INC OFFERS YOU ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES.
Welcome to the user agreement (the "Agreement" or

of this Agreement, do not use or access our services.
You must read, agree with and accept all of the terms
and conditions contained in this User Agreement and
the Privacy Policy, which include those terms and
conditions expressly set out below and those
incorporated by reference, before you may become a
member of GoNomad.HotelPlanner.com.
The Company may amend this Agreement at any time by
posting the amended terms on the Site. Except as
stated below, all amended terms shall automatically be
effective 30 days after they are initially posted on
the Site. This Agreement may not be otherwise amended
except in a writing signed by you and GoNomad.HotelPlanner.com. This
Agreement is effective upon acceptance in registration
for new registering users.
Our services are available only to, and may only be
used by individuals who can form legally binding
contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the
foregoing, our services are not available to children
(persons under the age of 21) or to temporarily or
indefinitely suspended GoNomad.HotelPlanner.com members. If you are under
the age of 21, you cannot use this service. Persons under the age of 21 may not use this service to make reservations at any property in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. If you do
not qualify, please do not use our Site. Further, your

be transferred or sold to another party. If you are
registering as a business entity, (i.e. Travel Agency,
Wholesaler, Group Coordinator, Hotel, or other Travel
Services Vendor.) you represent that you have the
authority to bind the entity to this Agreement. Business entities using this service to receive rate quotes without ever contacting a vendor online are subject to account suspension or termination. If you are responding on behalf of a hotel, you must be a full time employee or owner of the hotel that has authorized access to the hotel's reservations system.
Joining and listing groups at GoNomad.HotelPlanner.com is free for individuals, travel agents, group coordinators, and wholesalers. The Hotel and/or Travel Services Vendor is responsible for paying 10% commissions to GoNomad.HotelPlanner.com for actualized business referred from the basic free bidding. The hotel is responsible for tracking reservations on all groups. If hotel fails to track actualized rooms due to incomplete records, lost or stolen records, or technical failure, then the hotel must pay 10% commission on all requested rooms as found in the online client request for proposal.
GoNomad.HotelPlanner.com will pay a 10% commission on hotel room revenue produced to all Travel Agents for group bookings processed through GoNomad.HotelPlanner.com minus our third party transaction fee of 5% of hotel room revenue produced. In the case an affiliate of Lexyl Travel Technologies, Inc. is credited for the group booking, the Travel Agent commission may be reduced in order to compensate the affiliate. This third party transaction fee will include all hotel rate and information procurement, as well as database and website maintenance, in addition to commission collections performed by GoNomad.HotelPlanner.com. Travel agents must mail in hotel receipts per the cash back terms found on their hotel bid in order to claim commissions. The hotel is only responsible for paying 10% commission as stated above on actualized room revenue produced. If the hotel fails to pay the commission, GoNomad.HotelPlanner.com cannot be held liable for the unpaid commission. Travel Agent bookings are not eligible for any other rebates or cash back promotions through the GoNomad.HotelPlanner.com system.
GoNomad.HotelPlanner.com is not an Auctioneer. The Site acts as a venue
to allow the Hotel and/or Travel Services Vendor to
sell rooms and/or services at any posted rate. The
Company is not involved in the actual transaction
between buyers and sellers. As a result, The Company
has no control over the quality, safety or legality of
the items advertised, the truth or accuracy of the
listings, the ability of sellers to sell items or the
ability of buyers to pay for items. The Company cannot
ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a
transaction.
Identity Verification. The company uses many
techniques to verify the accuracy of the information
our users provide us when they register on the Site.
However, because user verification on the Internet is
difficult, GoNomad.HotelPlanner.com cannot and does not confirm each
user's purported identity. We encourage you to
communicate directly with the hotel or travel agency using the tools available on this site.
Release. Because The Company is a venue, in the event
that you have a dispute with one or more users, you
release GoNomad.HotelPlanner.com (and our officers, directors, agents,
subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from
claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential)
of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected
and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising
out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If
you are a California resident, you waive California
Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does
not extend to claims which the creditor does not know
or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of
executing the release, which if known by him must have
materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
Information Control. The Company does not control the
information provided by other users that is made
available through our system. You may find other
user's information to be offensive, harmful,
inaccurate, or deceptive. Please use caution, common
sense, and practice safe trading when using the Site.
Please note that there are also risks of dealing with
underage persons or people acting under false
pretense. Additionally, there may also be risks
dealing with international trade and foreign
nationals. By using this Site, you agree to accept
such risks and GoNomad.HotelPlanner.com is not responsible for the acts
or omissions of users on the Site.
As a Hotel or Travel Services Vendor, you are
obligated to complete the transaction with the Group
Coordinator, Travel Agent, Wholesalers and/or the
Booking Party that they represent:
By bidding on a group booking you agree to be bound
by the conditions of sale included in the group's
description so long as those conditions of sale are
not in violation of this Agreement or unlawful. Bids
are not retractable except in exceptional
circumstances, such as: when the Group Coordinator,
Travel Agent, Wholesaler and/or Booking Party
materially changes the group's description after you
bid; a clear typographical error is made; you cannot
authenticate the Hotel, Travel Vendor, Travel Agent,
Wholesaler, Group Coordinators and/or Booking Parties
identity. The hotel is responsible for tracking reservations on all groups. If hotel fails to track actualized rooms due to incomplete records, lost or stolen records, or technical failure, then the hotel must pay 10% commission on all requested rooms as found in the online client request for proposal.
Predatory sales techniques are strictly prohibited. Predatory sales techniques include, but are not limited to offering special promotions, discounts, or directions for clients in an effort to incentivize them to work outside the system.

content relevant to the needs of the group.
