Thanks for visiting the Meadowmere Resort.
Please read these Terms carefully. By using our websites or signing up for an account, you’re agreeing to these Terms. This is a legal agreement. We’ll start with the basics, including a few definitions that should help you understand this agreement. Meadowmere (“Meadowmere” or the “Service”) is a website service offered through the URL www.meadowmere.com (we’ll refer to it as the “Website”) that allows you to research, create, and manage reservations to the Meadowmere Resort. Meadowmere is owned and operated by The Meadowmere Motel Corp d/b/as Meadowmere Resort, a Maine limited liability corporation (“Meadowmere,” “we,” or “us”). Meadowmere has employees, independent contractors, and representatives (“our Team”). As a customer of the Service or a representative of an entity that’s a customer of the Service, you’re a “Guest” according to this agreement (or “you”). “Site” means the Internet web site known by the universal resource locators (“URLs”) and domain names: http://www.meadowmere.com, or any other URLs or domain names of Meadowmere, and all pages, sections, areas and parts of it and “Information” (as defined herein) displayed, presented or found at or through it. “Information” means and includes: (1) all text, content, data, information, video, audio, images, messages, advertising, marketing, promotional, and other materials and items that are published, provided, presented, found, offered, described and/or made available at or through the Site, regardless of whether Meadowmere or a third party is the original author of, or is responsible for, the information; and (2) all pages, areas and parts thereof that are accessible and made available to the user. The term “Information” also includes “Trademarks” (as defined herein). “Documents” means materials and documents of third parties submitted by Meadowmere and published or found at or through the Site. “Information” (as defined herein) also includes “Documents.”
These Terms of Use (“Terms,” including our Privacy Policy and Brand Guidelines) define the terms and conditions under which you’re allowed to use Meadowmere, and how we’ll treat your account while you’re a Guest. If you do not wish to be bound by this agreement, please do not use any of the services or products available at this web site. If you have any questions about our terms, feel free to contact us.

The Information is copyrighted material of the respective owner and protected by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and other terms and conditions found at the Site and by the statutes, regulations, ordinances, judicial and governmental decisions, requirements and other laws of the fifty states, as well as of the federal government of the United States of America, including without limitation, those governing agreements, contracts, commercial engagements and those protecting intellectual property and other proprietary rights, and U.S. and international copyright laws and other law. All logos, page headers, custom graphics, images, buttons, graphics, icons, symbols, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and other names, descriptions, brands and marks, whether registered or not (“Trademarks”) found at the Site or in the Information are owned by Meadowmere or others, and are protected by such law, including those specifically addressing rights of trademark owners.

ACCOUNT
1. Eligibility
In order to use Meadowmere website services, you must: be at least eighteen (18) years old and able to enter into contracts; complete the registration process; agree to the Terms; and provide true, complete, and up to date contact information.
By using Meadowmere, you represent and warrant that you meet all the requirements listed above, and that you won’t use Meadowmere in a way that violates any laws or regulations. (Representing and warranting is like making a legally enforceable promise.) Meadowmere may refuse service, close accounts of any users, and change eligibility requirements at any time.
2. Term
The Term begins when you visit Meadowmere, either online or in person, and continues as long as you use the Service. Visiting the site and interacting with Meadowmere in ways such as but not limited to entering your username, means that you’ve officially “signed” the Terms. If you sign up for Meadowmere on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to accept these Terms on their behalf.
3. Closing Your Account
You or Meadowmere may terminate this Agreement at any time and for any reason by giving Notice to the other party. We may suspend our Service to you at any time, with or without cause. If we terminate your account without cause, we’ll refund a prorated portion of your prepayment or reimburse you for unused Credits. We won’t refund or reimburse you if there’s cause, like a violation of these Terms. Once terminated, we may permanently delete your account and all the data associated with it, including your emails from our Website.
4. Changes
We may change any of the Terms by posting revised Terms of Use on our Website and/or by sending an email to the last email address you gave us. Unless you terminate your account within ten (10) days, the new Terms will be effective immediately and apply to any continued or new use of Meadowmere. We may change the Website, the Service, or any features of the Service at any time.
5. Account and Password
You’re responsible for keeping your account name and password confidential. You’re also responsible for any account that you have access to, whether or not you authorized the use. You’ll immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your accounts. We’re not responsible for any losses due to stolen or hacked passwords. We don’t have access to your current password, and for security reasons, we may only reset your password.
6. Account Disputes
We don’t know the inner workings of your organization or the nature of your personal relationships, and we don’t arbitrate disputes over who owns an account. You won’t request access to or information about an account that’s not yours, and you’ll resolve any account-related disputes directly with the other party. We decide who owns an account based on the content of the emails in that account, and if multiple people or entities are identified in the content, then we’ll rely on the contact information listed for that account.
PAYMENT
7. Reservations
Our charges for reservations are posted on our Website and may be changed from time to time. If any part of a reservation is included in the Term, then payment is due for the full reservation. Payments are due for any reservation in accordance with our Deposit & Cancellation Policies.
8. Credit Cards
As long as you’re a Guest or have an outstanding balance with us, you’ll provide us with valid credit card information and authorize us to deduct the charges against that credit card. You’ll replace the information for any credit card that expires with information for a valid one. Anyone using a credit card represents and warrants that they are authorized to use that credit card, and that any and all charges may be billed to that credit card and won’t be rejected. If we’re unable to process your credit card order, we’ll try to contact you by email and suspend your account until your payment can be processed.
9. Refunds
We’ll give you a refund for a prepaid reservation if we stop providing our Services to you for a reason that’s not laid out in these Terms or in our Deposit & Cancellation Policies. You won’t be entitled to a refund from us under any other circumstances. We may offer a refund if a Guest applies for one based on the requirements posted on the Website.
10. Billing Changes
We may change our fees at any time by posting a new pricing structure to our Website and/or sending you a notification by email.
