INTRODUCTION

Welcome to WJT websites and mobile properties, located at https://www.worldjewishtravel.org/ and applicable country top level domains (including sub-domains associated with them), related software applications (sometimes referred to as “apps”), data, SMS, APIs, email, chat and telephone correspondence, buttons, widgets and ads (collectively, all of these items shall be referred to herein as the “Services”; more generally, WJT websites and mobile properties shall hereinafter be referred to herein as “websites”). The Services are offered to you conditioned upon your acceptance of the terms, conditions, and notices set forth below (collectively, this “Agreement”). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and represent that you have read and understood its terms. Please read this Agreement carefully, as it contains information concerning your legal rights and limitations on these rights, as well as a section regarding applicable law and jurisdiction of disputes. If you do not accept all of these terms and conditions, you are not authorized to use the Services. If you have a WJT account and wish to terminate this Agreement, you can do so at any time by closing your account and no longer accessing or using the Services. To do this please contact us at [email protected] detailing your request.

Any information, text, links, graphics, photos, audio, videos, data, code or other materials or arrangements of materials that you can view on, access or otherwise interact with through the Services shall be referred to as “Content”. The terms “we”, “us”, “our” and “WJT” refer to The World Jewish Heritage Fund, Inc, a Massachusetts limited liability company located in the United States of America (“WJT”). “Services” as defined above refers to those provided by WJT or our corporate affiliates (WJT and such entities, when one or more are referred to, shall be collectively defined as the “WJT”). For the avoidance of doubt, the websites are all owned and controlled by WJT.  However, some specific Services made available via the websites may be owned and controlled by WJT’s corporate affiliates, for example Services facilitating the booking of Vacation Rentals, Restaurant Reservations and Experiences with third-party suppliers (see below).

The term “you” refers to the individual, company, business organization, or other legal entity using the Services and/or contributing Content to them. The Content that you contribute, submit, transmit and/or post to or through the Services shall be referred to variously as “your Content”, “Content of yours”, and/or “Content you submit.”

The Services are provided solely to:

  1. Assist customers in gathering travel information, posting Content, and searching for and booking travel services and reservations; and
  2. Assist travel, tourism and hospitality businesses in engaging with customers and potential customers, by way of free and/or paid-for services offered by or through WJT Company.

We will notify you by email at least 30 days before any changes are made to our terms and conditions.

USE OF THE SERVICES

As a condition of your use of the Services, you warrant that (i) all information supplied by via the Services to WJT is true, accurate, current and complete, (ii) if you are an Account Holder, you will safeguard your account information and will supervise and be completely responsible for any use of your account by anyone other than you, (iii) you are 13 years of age or older (in some jurisdictions, local laws may have an older age requirement) in order to register for an account, use the Services and contribute to our websites, and (iv) you possess the legal authority to enter into this Agreement and to use the Services, including our websites in accordance with all terms and conditions herein. WJT do not knowingly collect the information of anyone under the age of 13. We retain the right at our sole discretion to deny anyone access to the Services, at any time and for any reason, including, but not limited to, for violation of this Agreement. By using the Services, including any products or services that facilitate the sharing of Content to or from third party sites, you understand that you are solely responsible for any information that you share with WJT. You may access the Services solely as intended through the provided functionality of the Services and as permitted under this Agreement.

Copying, transmission, reproduction, replication, posting or redistribution of (a) Content or any portion thereof and/or (b) the Services more generally is strictly prohibited without the prior written permission of WJT. To request permission, write to us at [email protected].

In order to access certain features of the Services, you will need to become an Account Holder by creating an account. When you create an account, you must provide complete and accurate information. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, including your interaction and communication with others, and you must safeguard your account. Towards this end, if you are an Account Holder, you agree to keep your contact information up to date.

If you are creating a WJT account for commercial purposes and are accepting this Agreement on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to do so and have the authority to bind such entity to this Agreement, in which case the words “you” and “your” as used in this Agreement shall refer to such entity and the individual acting on behalf of the company shall be referred to as a “Business Representative.”

Through your use of the Services you may encounter links to third party sites and apps or be able to interact with third party sites and apps. This may include the ability to share Content from the Services, including your Content, with such third party sites and apps. Please be aware that third party sites and apps may publicly display such shared Content. Such third parties may charge a fee for use of certain content or services provided on or by way of their websites. Therefore, you should make whatever investigation you feel is necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with any third party to determine whether a charge will be incurred. Where WJT provide details of fees or charges for such third party content or services, such information is provided for convenience and information purposes only. Any interactions with third party sites and apps are at your own risk. You expressly acknowledge and agree that WJT are in no way responsible or liable for any such third party sites or apps.

Some Content you see or otherwise access on or through the Services is used for commercial purposes. You agree and understand that WJT may place advertising and promotions on the Services alongside, near, adjacent, or otherwise in close proximity to your Content (including, for video or other dynamic content, before, during or after its presentation), as well as the Content of others.

ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS

We also offer other services that may be governed by additional terms or agreements. If you use any other such services, the additional terms will be made available and will become part of this Agreement, except where such additional terms expressly exclude or otherwise supersede this Agreement. For example, if you use or purchase such additional services for commercial or business purposes, you must agree to the applicable additional terms. To the extent any other terms conflict with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the additional terms shall govern to the extent of the conflict with respect to those specific services.

You acknowledge and agree that your Content is non-confidential and non-proprietary.

The Services may contain discussion forums, bulletin boards, review services, travel feeds or other forums in which you may post your Content, such as reviews of travel experiences, messages, materials or other items (“Interactive Areas”). If WJT provides such Interactive Areas on the websites, you are solely responsible for your use of such Interactive Areas and use them at your own risk. WJT do not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to any of your Content you provide to the Services or in any Interactive Area.  To the extent that any entity that is one of WJT provides any form of private communication channel between Account Holders, you agree that such entity(ies) may monitor the substance of such communications in order to help safeguard our community and the Services. You understand that WJT do not edit or control the user messages posted to or distributed through the Services, including through any chat rooms, bulletin boards or other communications forums, and will not be in any way responsible or liable for such messaging.  In particular, WJT does not edit or control users’ Content that appears on the websites.  WJT nevertheless reserve the right to remove without notice any such messaging or other Content from the Services, where they believe in good faith that such Content breaches this Agreement or otherwise believe the removal is reasonably necessary to safeguard the rights of WJT and/or other users of the Services. Should you disagree with the removal of your Content from the websites, you may contact WJT using the Help Center to make your objections.  By using any Interactive Areas, you expressly agree only to submit Content of yours that complies with WJT’s published guidelines, as are in force at the time of submission and made available to you by WJT.  You expressly agree not to post, upload to, transmit, distribute, store, create or otherwise publish through the Services any Content of yours that:

As a provider of interactive services, WJT is not liable for any statements, representations or any other Content provided by its users (including you as to your Content) in the websites or any other forum. Although WJT has no obligation to screen, edit or monitor any of the Content posted to or distributed through any Interactive Area, WJT reserves the right, and has absolute discretion, to remove, screen, translate or edit without notice any Content posted or stored on the Services at any time and for any reason, or to have such actions performed by third parties on their behalf, and you are solely responsible for creating backup copies of and replacing any Content you post or otherwise submit to us or store on the Services at your sole cost and expense.

Any use of the Interactive Areas or other aspects of the Services in violation of the foregoing violates the terms of this Agreement and may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to use the Interactive Areas and/or the Services more generally.

Restricting WJT’s License Rights.  You may elect on a going forward basis to limit WJT’ use of your Content under this Agreement (as described above) by opting to provide WJT with a more limited license as described further below (such limited license to be referred to herein as a “Restricted License”).  You may make this election by selecting such Restricted License grant here (note that to do so you shall need to be logged into your account). If you make this election, the rights you grant WJT to your Content pursuant to the license terms set forth above (referred to as the “Standard License”) shall be limited in some important ways described in paragraphs 1 through 6 directly below, such that WJT shall not hold a Standard License to any of your Content other than the text-based reviews and associated bubble ratings you post (as to which WJT shall continue to be granted a Standard License), but shall be granted a “Restricted License” as to the balance of your Content as defined below:

  1. When you post your Content to the Services, the license you grant WJT in Your Content shall be limited to a nonexclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, reproduce, publicly display or perform, translate, and create derivative works of your Content for purposes of displaying such on the Services, as well as using your name and/or trademark in connection with that Content. Subject to Paragraph 6 below, the Restricted License applies to any of your Content (again, other than text-based reviews and associated bubble ratings) you or another on your behalf (e.g., a third party that contributes to or otherwise manages your account) make available on or in connection with the Services.
  2. As to any individual item of your Content that is subject to the Restricted License, you can terminate WJT’ license rights hereunder to such by deleting such post from the Services.  Correspondingly, you may terminate WJT’ license rights in all of your Content that is subject to the Restricted License by terminating your account (a description of how to do so is available here).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, your Content (a) shall remain on the Services to the extent you shared it with others and they copied it or stored it prior to you deleting it or terminating your account, (b) may continue to be displayed upon the Services for a reasonable amount of time after you delete it or terminate your account as we seek to remove it, and/or (c) may be retained (but not publicly displayed) for technical, fraud moderation, regulatory or legal reasons in backup copy form for a period of time.
  3. WJT will not use your Content in advertisements for the products and services of third parties to others without your separate consent (including sponsored Content), although you agree and understand that WJT may place advertising and promotions on the Services alongside, near, adjacent, or otherwise in close proximity to your Content (including, for video or other dynamic content, before, during or after its presentation), as well as the Content of others.  In all instances in which your Content is displayed on the Services, we shall provide attribution by using the name and/or trademark that you submit in connection with your Content.
  4. WJT will not give third parties the right to publish your Content beyond the Services. However, sharing your Content on the Services (save for our “Trips” feature, which can be made private) shall result in your Content being made “public” and we will enable a feature that allows other users to share (by way of embedding that public post or otherwise) such Content of yours (save, as noted, Trips you configure to be private) onto third-party services, and we will enable search engines to make that public Content of yours findable through their services.
  5. Except as modified by paragraphs 1 through 6 of this section of this Agreement, your and our rights and obligations shall remain subject to the balance of the terms of this Agreement. The license you grant WJT as modified by these paragraphs 1-6 shall be referred to as a “Restricted License”.
  6. For the sake of clarity, the Content you submit to the Services in connection with other WJT services or programs is not subject to the Restricted License, but shall instead be governed by the terms and conditions associated with that specific WJT service or program.

BOOKING WITH THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS THROUGH WJT

Use of WJT Booking Services. WJT offer you the ability to search for, select, and book travel reservations with third-party suppliers without leaving the Services. By booking travel reservations via the websites, you will become an Account Holder if you are not one already.

By booking via the websites, you acknowledge that you accept the practices described in our Privacy Policy and this Agreement. In addition, you warrant, either in your individual capacity or as a Business Representative, that you are 18 years of age or older, that you possess the legal authority to enter into this Agreement and use the Services (including WJT’ booking facilitation services) in accordance with this Agreement, and that all information you supply is true and accurate. You further agree that you will use WJT’ booking facilitation services only to make legitimate reservations for you or others for whom you are legally authorized to act. Any false or fraudulent reservation is prohibited, and any user who attempts such a reservation may have his or her account terminated.

AS A USER OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WJT’ BOOKING FACILITATION SERVICES, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT: (1) WJT WILL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU OR OTHERS FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS MADE USING YOUR PASSWORD OR ACCOUNT; AND (2) THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OF YOUR PASSWORD OR ACCOUNT COULD CAUSE YOU TO INCUR LIABILITY TO WJT, ITS CORPORATE AFFILIATES AND/OR OTHERS.

When you book a reservation facilitated by WJT, your payment information will be collected and transmitted to the supplier to complete the transaction, as described in our Privacy Policy. Please note that the supplier, not WJT, is responsible for processing your payment and fulfilling your reservation.

WJT will not interfere with reservations arbitrarily, but reserve the right to withdraw booking facilitation services because of certain extenuating circumstances, such as when a reservation is no longer available or when we have reasonable cause to suspect that a reservation request may be fraudulent. WJT also reserve the right to take steps to verify your identity to process your reservation request.

In the unlikely event that a reservation is available when you place an order but becomes unavailable prior to check-in, your sole remedy will be to contact the supplier to make alternative arrangements or to cancel your reservation.

Third-Party Suppliers. WJT are not travel agencies and do not provide or own transportation services, accommodations, restaurants, tours, activities or experiences. Although WJT display information about properties owned by third-party suppliers and facilitate reservations with certain suppliers on or through WJT’ websites, such actions do not in any way imply, suggest, or constitute WJT’ sponsorship or approval of third-party suppliers, or any affiliation between WJT and third-party suppliers. Although Account Holders may rate and review particular transportation services, accommodations, restaurants, tours, activities or experiences based on their own experiences, WJT do not endorse or recommend the products or services of any third-party suppliers, save that WJT does issue certain businesses awards that are based on the reviews posted by Account Holders. WJT do not endorse any Content posted, submitted or otherwise provided by any user or business, or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein, and WJT expressly disclaim any and all liability in connection with such Content. You agree that WJT are not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of information they obtain from third-party suppliers and display on the Services.

If you book a reservation with a third-party supplier, then in addition to this Agreement, you agree to review and be bound by the supplier’s terms and conditions of purchase and website use, privacy policy, and any other rules or policies related to the supplier’s site or property. Your interactions with third-party suppliers are at your own risk. WJT will have no liability with respect to the acts, omissions, errors, representations, warranties, breaches or negligence of any third-party suppliers or for any personal injuries, death, property damage, or other damages or expenses resulting from your interactions with third-party suppliers.

The Services may link you to supplier sites or other sites that WJT does not operate or control. For further information, please refer to the “Links to Third-Party Sites” section below.

Booking Vacation Rentals, Restaurant Reservations and Experiences with Third-Party Suppliers Listed on Corporate Affiliate Sites. Some of WJT’s corporate affiliates act as marketplaces to facilitate travelers’ ability to (1) enter into vacation rental agreements with property owners and managers (“Vacation Rentals”), (2) make reservations for restaurants (“Restaurants”) and/or (3) make reservations for tours, activities and attractions (variously, “Experiences”) with third-party suppliers of such Experiences (each such supplier of a vacation rental and/or Experience to be referred to as an “Advertiser”). Those corporate affiliates of WJT syndicate their advertisements to other entities within WJT group and that is why you see them on WJT’ websites.  As a user, you must be responsible for your use of the Services (including, in particular, WJT’ websites), and any transaction involving Vacation Rentals, Restaurants or Experiences facilitated by WJT’s corporate affiliates. We do not own, manage, or contract for any Vacation Rental, Restaurant or Experience listed on the Services.

Because neither WJT nor its corporate affiliates are parties to Vacation Rental transactions, Restaurant reservations or Experience-related transactions between travelers and Advertisers, any dispute or conflict involving an actual or potential transaction between you and an Advertiser, including the quality, condition(s), safety or legality of a listed Vacation Rental, Restaurant or Experience, the accuracy of the listing Content, the Advertiser’s ability to rent a Vacation Rental property, provide you with a reservation, meal or other service at a Restaurant or provide an Experience, or your ability to pay for a Vacation Rental property, a Restaurant meal or service or an Experience, is solely the responsibility of each user.

One of WJT’ corporate affiliates may act as an Advertiser’s limited agent solely for the purpose of transmitting your payment to the Advertiser. You agree to pay an Advertiser, or a WJT corporate affiliate acting as limited payment collection agent on behalf of an Advertiser, any specified fee(s) charged by the Advertiser for any Vacation Rental reservation or Experience.

For further information on Vacation Rental fees, security deposits, fees for Experiences, payment processing, refunds and the like, please consult our affiliates’ terms and conditions (for Experiences visit Viator; for Restaurants visit The Fork; for vacation rentals, visit WJT’ Vacation Rentals. By making a Vacation Rental reservation, Restaurant reservation or Experience reservation facilitated by one of our corporate affiliates, you will have to acknowledge and agree to its terms and conditions, as well as its privacy policy.

If you enter into a dispute with an Advertiser in the EU, alternative methods for resolving that dispute are available online here: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.

  • (ii) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party; or
  • (iii) your use of the Services, including WJT’ websites.

LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY SITES

The Services may contain hyperlinks to websites operated by parties other than WJT. Such hyperlinks are provided for your reference only. WJT do not control such websites and are not responsible for their contents or the privacy or other practices of such websites. Further, it is up to you to take precautions to ensure that whatever links you select or software you download (whether from this or any other website) is free of such items as viruses, worms, trojan horses, defects and other items of a destructive nature. WJT’ inclusion of hyperlinks to such websites does not imply any endorsement of the material on such third party websites or apps or any association with their operators.

In some cases, you may be asked by a third party site or app to link your WJT account profile to a profile on another third party site. You are responsible for deciding if you choose to do so, it is purely optional, and the decision to allow this information to be linked can be disabled (with the third party site or app) at any time. If you do choose to link your WJT account to a third party site or app, the third party site or app will be able to access the information you have stored on your WJT account, including information regarding other users with whom you share information. You should read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of the third party sites and apps that you visit as they have rules and permissions about how they use your information that may differ from the Services, including our websites. We encourage you to review these third party sites and apps and to use them at your own risk.

Notice and Take-Down Policy for Illegal Content

If you have any complaints or objections to Content, including user messages posted on the Services, or if you believe that material or content posted on the Services infringes a copyright that you hold, please contact us immediately at [email protected].  WJT will then respond to valid and properly substantiated complaints by making all reasonable efforts to remove manifestly illegal content within a reasonable time.

MODIFICATIONS TO THE SERVICES; TERMINATION

WJT may change, add or delete these terms and conditions of this Agreement or any portion thereof from time to time in its sole discretion where we deem it necessary for legal, general regulatory and technical purposes, or due to changes in the Services provided or nature or layout of Services. Thereafter, you expressly agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement as amended.

WJT may change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time, including availability of any of the Services’ features, databases or Content. WJT may also impose limits or otherwise restrict your access to all or parts of the Services without notice or liability for technical or security reasons, to prevent against unauthorized access, loss of, or destruction of data or where WJT and/or its corporate affiliates consider(s) in its/their sole discretion that you are in breach of any provision of this Agreement or of any law or regulation and where WJT and/or its corporate affiliates decide to discontinue providing any aspect of the Services.

YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SERVICES NOW, OR FOLLOWING THE POSTING OF ANY SUCH NOTICE OF ANY CHANGES, WILL INDICATE ACCEPTANCE BY YOU OF SUCH MODIFICATIONS.

WJT may terminate this Agreement with you at any time, without advanced notice, where it believes in good faith that you have breached this Agreement or otherwise believes that termination is reasonably necessary to safeguard the rights of WJT and/or others users of the Services. That means that we may stop providing you with Services.

JURISDICTION AND GOVERNING LAW

This website is owned and controlled by The World Jewish Heritage Fund, Inc, a U.S. limited liability company. This Agreement and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA. You hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of courts in Massachusetts, USA and stipulate to the fairness and convenience of proceedings in such courts for all disputes, both contractual and non-contractual, arising out of or relating to the use of the Services by you or any third party. You agree that all claims you may have against WJT arising from or relating to the Services must be heard and resolved in a court of competent subject matter jurisdiction located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Use of the Services is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these terms and conditions, including, without limitation, this paragraph. Nothing in this clause shall limit the right of WJT to take proceedings against you in any other court, or courts, of competent jurisdiction. The foregoing shall not apply to the extent that applicable law in your country of residence requires application of another law and/or jurisdiction – in particular, if you are using the Services as a consumer – and this cannot be excluded by contract and will not be governed by the United Nations Conventions on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, if otherwise applicable.  If you use the Services as a consumer, and not as business or Business Representative, you may be entitled to bring claims against WJT in the Courts of your country of residence. This clause shall otherwise apply to the maximum extent allowed in your country or residence.
