5. Membership Payment. If paying by credit or debit card, PayPal, a Crypto-currency, e-Wallet or
ACH/Bank Debit (hereby called “Payment Methods”) you hereby certify that the account used to
make payment is held in your name, or that you are an authorized user of the account. You
hereby authorize inCruises to charge your Payment Methods identified in your Application, or
advised to inCruises from time to time, with the Monthly Membership Payment . You agree to
submit to any payment verification protocols that are requested by inCruises in order to verify
your payment. You confirm that you understand and agree that the transaction contemplated by
this purchase consists of the Total Initial Payment and the recurring Monthly Membership
Payment until the Membership is canceled by notice in writing in accordance with these Terms
and Conditions.

6. Refunds and Disputes. Members, if eligible, can request a refund of the Activation Fee and/or the
Membership Payment based on the refund rules of your country and/or state of residency. By
requesting a refund you are agreeing to a full cancellation of your account, thus forfeiting any
available Reward Points. In the event that your account is closed due to a refund request, only
those payments that are eligible will be refunded and the account will be permanently closed. In
the event that a dispute and/or chargeback is brought forth in relation to any Membership
payment, the entire account will be canceled and permanently closed, thus forfeiting any
available Reward Points, and only eligible payments refunded. Payments eligible for a refund are
those payments made within fourteen (14) days prior to a refund request. Any payments made
outside of (14) day period will not be eligible for a refund. A charge against any applicable refund
will be made for any chargeback fees incurred by inCruises.

7. Reward Points Program. All Members will have two Reward Points accounts: a (1 for 1) Reward
Points account and a (2 for 1) Reward Points account. The (2 for 1) Reward Points account is
established and grows by payment of the Monthly Membership Payment. For every ONE dollar in
paid Monthly Membership Payments, the Member is given TWO Reward Points. The Reward
Points can be applied to book any of the available cruises or hotels and resorts on our website 15
days after activation or reactivation of the Membership. Reward Points are not transferable.
Reward Points can only be used by the Member on a cruise they are a passenger of, or a
hotel/resort where they will be staying, and for which the Reward Points were used to book the
stateroom or guest room they are traveling or staying in.

From time to time, inCruises may offer a promotion or other program whereby (1 for 1) Reward
Points are given to a Member under certain conditions for a limited time. The conditions and time
period will be explained in inCruises marketing and promotion materials or on the inCruises
website.

If a Member misses a Membership payment for three (3) consecutive months, the Member’s (2 for
1) Reward Points account will be converted to (1 for 1) and added to the Member’s (1 for 1) Reward
Points account. Accordingly, the Member will lose the benefit of the (2 for 1) Reward Points
provided for each dollar of Monthly Membership Payments paid. When booking a cruise, the
Member may not mix the two Reward Point balances to pay. You must use either the (1 for 1)
Reward Points balance or the (2 for 1) Reward Points balance. Use of Reward Points is subject to
the additional conditions as described below:

a) Cruises and hotel/resort stays must be booked through our Website and Reward Points
can only be used for cruise fare(s) or hotel/resort room fees quoted and confirmed at
booking, including port charges and applicable government taxes and fees.

b) Reward Points may not be used to pay for flights, stateroom or guest room upgrades after
a confirmed booking, travel insurance, processing fees, cancellation fees, name change

fees or fees of any kind related to the cruise or hotel/resort stay, pre-paid gratuities, tours
and excursions, specialty meals and beverage packages and/or personal expenditures
once onboard (including medical expenses and/or gratuities).

c) Members can book any cruise or hotel/resort stay available on our Website and we will
automatically use their available Reward Points to reduce the cost of the booking.

d) inCruises Members may use 100% of their Reward Points balance to pay for a cruise or
hotel/resort stay up to an amount that will be assigned by inCruises for each booking.

e) The amount of Reward Points that may be used for each booking is the decision of
inCruises.

f) A Member who is active can book a cruise using their (2 for 1) Reward Points up to 50% of
the total retail price of that cruise. A Member that is not active, and has not yet reached the
90 day period when the Member’s (2 for 1) Reward Points are converted to a (1 for 1)
amount, may not book a cruise until such time as that Member’s Reward Points are finally
determined to remain as (2 for 1) due to the Member making the appropriate invoice
payment, or finally converted to a (1 for 1) amount after the 90 day period is complete. The
Member who pays the invoice during the 90 day period to maintain a (2 for 1) Reward
Points status may immediately book a cruise without any waiting period.

g) inCruises Members must be active paying Members through the entire booking and
embarkation process where (2 for 1) Reward Points are used. Once a booking is confirmed,
the Member must remain as an active paying Member at least through the embarkation
process of the cruise for which (2 for 1) Reward Points were used to book the cruise. If a
Member fails to make Monthly Membership payments after booking the cruise and before
embarkation, and consequently their account goes into Pending or Inactive status,
inCruises has the right to cancel the cruise booking. Reward points used and partial
payments (Out of Pocket) that may have been made to make the booking possible, will
not be eligible for a refund.

h) Members with only (1 for 1) Reward Points may book cruises, as well as hotels and resorts
using those Reward Points in an amount that is determined by inCruises and displayed in
the inCruises booking engine for each booking.

i) Some inCruises Members who also participate in the inCruises Partnership program may
use their (2 for 1) Reward Points balance for cruise bookings in an amount greater than
50% of the price of the booking and up to 100% of the price based on incentives that are
set by inCruises from time to time as explained in the inCruises Incentive Program
Overview and Guide. Please check these relevant documents for more details.

j) Members may book only one cruise using (2 for 1) Reward Points at a time. Upon
disembarkation from a cruise, a Member may then book the next cruise using (2 for 1)
Reward points but not before that time. Members may book multiple cruises using (1 for 1)
Reward Points.

k) ALL CRUISE SALES AND HOTEL/RESORT STAY SALES ARE FINAL. REFUNDS AND NAME
CHANGES ARE NOT ALLOWED.

8. Reactivation. If you miss a Membership payment for three (3) consecutive months, the Reward
Points in your account will be converted to a (1 for 1) ratio by reducing the amount in your (2 for 1)
Reward Points account by 50% and added to your (1 for 1) Reward Points account. Consequently,
you will lose the benefit of the (2 for 1) Reward Points provided for each dollar of your Monthly

MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT |

9. Membership Payments paid. In order to reactivate your account, you must pay the $100 Activation
Fee plus the Monthly Membership Payment of $100 for a total payment of $200, and continue
paying the Monthly Membership Payment. You will receive 200 (2 for 1) Reward Points for the $100
Membership Payment paid upon reactivation of your account plus 100 (1 for 1) Reward Points for
payment of the Activation Fee.

10. Expiration of Reward Points. Reward Points do not expire, subject to the (1 for 1) status of an
inactive account Reward Points balance, or the (2 for 1) status of an active account Reward Points
balance as set forth in paragraph 7.

11. Cruise Pricing. Cruise Prices are typically quoted per person double occupancy. Some cruise lines
offer incentives.

12. Cancellation of Membership. Your Membership shall remain in effect at our sole discretion and
can be (i) terminated by you by sending, in writing, a notice of cancellation of your Membership to:

entities.

14. You agree that it is your responsibility to choose which Benefits you use and the cruises or
hotel/resort stays you purchase and that not electing to participate in all or any of the Benefits
offered does not constitute a breach of this agreement. You further agree that, except in

accordance with our 14-day money-back guarantee and these Terms and Conditions, you will

Membership Payments as a result of your non-use of any of the Benefits of the Program.
Benefits available may vary or be replaced by alternative Benefits at any time based on

amenities are not guaranteed and may be subject to limits on availability or price, which may
vary. You further agree that inCruises will make every available opportunity to offer you the best

only if required by law. You consent to inCruises and its parent and associated or affiliated

by the laws of Puerto Rico. You and inCruises shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute
concerning, relating, or referring to a Cruise, Services sold by us, our Privacy Policy, Credit Card
charges, inCruises Website, any literature or materials concerning inCruises, and these Terms
and Conditions or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof,
(hereinafter a “Dispute”) through preliminary negotiations. If the Dispute is not resolved through

and judgment may be entered thereon. In the event a party fails to proceed with arbitration, the
other party is entitled to costs of suit including a reasonable attorney’s fee for having to compel
arbitration. Nothing herein will be construed to prevent any party’s use of injunction, and/or any
other prejudgment or provisional action or remedy. Any such action or remedy shall act as a
waiver of the moving party’s right to compel arbitration of any dispute. You and inCruises agree
to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in San Juan, Puerto
Rico, with respect to any legal proceedings that may arise in connection with, or relate to, our

Members Terms and Conditions, our Privacy Policy, inCruises’ Website or any literature or
materials concerning inCruises, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover actual
reasonable attorney’s fees, costs, and expenses.
