To the fullest extent permitted by Law, all parties to this agreement voluntarily and knowingly, WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY after consulting with counsel (or after having waived the opportunity to consult with counsel). THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS A RIGHT PARTIES WOULD OR MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE HAD UNDER THE CONSTITUTIONS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA. THIS WAIVER APPLIES IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. The parties’ reciprocal agreement to the waiver set forth in the foregoing sentence is a material inducement to the parties’ respective agreements to the other terms of this Agreement.
The parties to this agreement agree to cooperate by supporting and fully participating in all efforts to resolve disputes, complaints, claims and other problems that arise or are related to this agreement through mediation or through binding arbitration in accordance with the principles of the Uniform Arbitration Act, and other related laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. THE PARTIES MAKE THE FOREGOING COMMITMENT WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE THAT BY AGREEING TO SUBMIT DISPUTES TO BINDING ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES ARE AGREEING NOT TO RESORT TO THE COURTS OR THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM, AND ARE WAIVING THEIR RIGHTS TO DO SO. Should the parties not be able to resolve their dispute through mediation, each party will voluntarily submit to binding arbitration and shall appoint their own arbitrator. These arbitrators shall select a mutual third arbitrator, thus forming an “Arbitration Panel” that will then proceed to schedule the matter for disposition. In the event that the individual arbitrators are unable to agree on a neutral arbitrator, either party shall have the right to petition the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas to appoint a neutral arbitrator. In order to initiate the binding arbitration process, either party will submit a written request for arbitration to the other party, within a reasonable time following the unsuccessful mediation of their dispute.
Guest acknowledges and agrees that all issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation, and enforceability of this Agreement or the rights and obligations of any Guest in connection with any Tour shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions that would cause the application of any other state’s or country’s laws. If paragraph fourteen (14) is found to be unenforceable, then each Guest hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state courts in Doylestown, Bucks County, Virginia and hereby waives any claim that is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of said courts or that any such suit or other proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or improper venue.

I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS AND HAVE SIGNED IT FREELY WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT OR ASSURANCE OF ANYONE AND INTEND IT TO BE A COMPLETE AND UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF LIABILITY TO THE GREATEST EXTENT OF THE LAW AND AGREE THAT IF ANY PORTION OF THIS AGREEMENT IS HELD TO BE INVALID, THE BALANCE, NOTWITHSTANDING, SHALL CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. I HEREBY AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
