General

You agree to use the Website in strict compliance with all applicable laws, rules, rulings and regulations and in a fashion that does not, in the sole judgment of the hotel, negatively reflect on the goodwill or reputation of the hotel and shall take no actions that would cause us to be in violation of any laws, rules, rulings or regulations applicable to us. The Hotel and the Website are based in the United States. The Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, USA without reference to the principles of conflicts of law of that state or any other jurisdiction.
