Terms and Conditions

Expedia-Branded OpenClaw Plug-In Terms of Use 

Last revised: May 18, 2026 

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern a user’s download, installation, access to, and use of the Expedia, Inc. (“Expedia”) OpenClaw plugin and related documentation, authentication flow, and supporting services (collectively, the “Plugin”). The Plugin is intended to enable compatible OpenClaw agents to search travel services made available on the Expedia service, retrieve pricing and availability information, and generate redirect links to the Expedia booking path. 

OpenClaw is an open-source autonomous AI service that users download and run locally on their own hardware, and Expedia does not have privity with OpenClaw itself. 

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Plugin, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not download, install, access, or use the Plugin.  

Expedia may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or any part of the Plugin at any time. Expedia may update these Terms from time to time. Your continued use of the Plugin after the updated Terms become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. 

If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and “you” will refer to that entity. 

Section 15 (Disputes and arbitration) below contains an arbitration agreement and class action waiver that apply to all claims brought against Expedia in the United States. Please read them carefully. 

2. Eligibility

You may use the Plugin only if: 

• • you are at least 18 years of age; 
• • you are legally capable of entering into a binding agreement; 
• • your use of the Plugin is not prohibited under applicable law; and 
• • you comply with these Terms and all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. 

3. Plugin

The Plugin is an experimental, evolving, and potentially limited offering enabling compatible OpenClaw agents to search Expedia travel services, retrieve pricing and availability information, and generate redirect links to the Expedia path. Expedia may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue the Plugin, or any feature, integration, inventory source, or functionality of the Plugin, at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice. The Plugin may not be continuously available, fully functional, or supported, and compatibility with OpenClaw, third-party models, or related tooling may change at any time. The Plugin is designed to support redirect-based booking only. Transactions are intended to occur on the Expedia service, and the Plugin does not support in-agent booking, payment processing, or PNR creation. 

Travel service details, availability, pricing, property descriptions, fare rules, photos, amenities, and other booking-related content surfaced through the Plugin may be supplied by third parties, including third-party travel providers. Expedia does not independently verify all such third-party information and does not guarantee the availability of any specific travel service, fare, rate, room, property, or offer. Expedia is not responsible for inaccuracies, omissions, or unavailable offers, except to the extent directly caused by Expedia. 

The price of the travel service(s) will be as displayed on the Expedia service, except in cases of obvious error. Pricing, availability, and booking options are dynamic and may change at any time between the time the redirect link is provided to you and the time you access the Expedia service via the link. Displayed results may be delayed, incomplete, or no longer available by the time you click through to the Expedia service. A booking on the Expedia service is not confirmed unless and until you complete the applicable booking flow for the relevant travel service and receive a booking confirmation from Expedia.  

The prices displayed through our Service may include taxes or tax recovery charges. Such taxes or tax recovery charges may include amounts associated with value-added tax, goods and services tax, sales tax, occupancy tax and other taxes of a similar nature. 

Taxes or tax recovery charges are generally calculated or estimated on the prices displayed through our Service before any discounts (including those funded by us), coupons and loyalty rewards that may be applicable to your booking, unless those discounts, coupons and loyalty rewards are considered as a reduction in price for the purposes of calculating or estimating taxes in the relevant jurisdiction for the booking. 

Because the Plugin interoperates with AI systems that may make mistakes, generate inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or outdated content, or misunderstand user instructions, you are solely responsible for reviewing all results before taking action. With this in mind, before executing any transaction, you must review the Expedia booking page you are redirected to and confirm all material details, including itinerary, traveler information, dates, property or flight details, price, taxes, fees, cancellation terms, and any other applicable booking terms before proceeding with a booking. If any information presented by an AI system conflicts with the information provided on the Expedia service, the information in the Expedia service will prevail. 

If you use the Plugin to access, evaluate, or complete a booking on the Expedia service, that access and booking is subject to Expedia’s then-current Terms of Service, Expedia’s Privacy Statement, and the applicable Rules and Restrictions presented for the relevant travel service, including payment terms, cancellation policies, refundability, availability restrictions, and use conditions.  

4. Relationship to OpenClaw and Third-Party Systems

The Plugin is provided by Expedia, Inc., not by OpenClaw. Expedia does not own or control OpenClaw, any third-party large language model, or any third-party agent, client, environment, or device through which you access or use the Plugin. 

You acknowledge and agree that: 

• • OpenClaw, your device, your local environment, and any model or agent you use with the Plugin are outside Expedia’s control; 
• • Expedia is not responsible for the availability, security, performance, legality, or behavior of OpenClaw or any third-party software or hardware; and 
• • your use of OpenClaw and any third-party tools is governed by your separate agreements with those providers, if any. 

You are solely responsible for any actions taken by any third-party agent, model, automation, or other software using Expedia-provided links, content, credentials, or outputs made available through the Plugin, whether or not such actions were initiated automatically, agentically, or based on your prior instructions. Expedia is not responsible for any booking, modification, cancellation, purchase, submission, or other act taken by a third-party system after Expedia provides a link, result, or other output through the Plugin. 

5. License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Expedia, Inc. grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use the Plugin solely for your personal, individual, non-commercial use with supported OpenClaw environments, unless Expedia, Inc. expressly authorizes otherwise in writing.  

For clarity, the license  is intended solely for your personal use as a private assistant.  

You may not: 

• • share your authorization code, linked account, or access to the Plugin with any other person, deploy the Plugin in a shared or multi-user environment, or permit any third party to submit prompts or instructions using your linked Expedia account or credentials; 
• • sell, resell, lease, or commercially exploit the Plugin except as expressly permitted by applicable open-source licensing terms and these Terms; 
• • reverse engineer, decompile, decode, disassemble, engage in model extraction or stealing attacks, prompt injection attacks or otherwise attempt to derive or gain improper access to any software components, models, algorithms or systems of the Plugin, in whole or in part, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law;use the Plugin in violation of law or regulation; 
• • use the Plugin to build or support unlawful, harmful, deceptive, infringing, or abusive workflows; 
• • interfere with, disrupt, or circumvent any security, authentication, rate limiting, or usage restrictions; or 
• • use the Plugin in a way that could harm Expedia, its affiliates, its partners, or other users. 

To the extent any portion of the Plugin is made available under a separate open-source license, that open-source license will govern solely with respect to that portion in the event of a conflict.

8. Privacy and Data Use

The Plugin is intended to operate with a privacy-forward architecture in which raw OpenClaw conversation history is not transmitted to or stored by Expedia systems, and only anonymized, structured intent summaries are intended to be captured. The documented design also states that no PII, payment data, or personal context is intended to be persisted by Expedia through the Plugin itself. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

• • you acknowledge that information necessary to authenticate requests and provide Plugin functionality may be processed by Expedia; 
• • Expedia may collect technical, operational, security, and usage information relating to the Plugin; 
• • Expedia may use such information to operate, secure, maintain, support, improve, and protect the Plugin and related services, subject to applicable law and Expedia’s Privacy Statement; and

You represent, warrant, and covenant that Expedia data, including any prompts, outputs, interaction logs, context, traces, conversation history, vector stores, weights, parameters, embeddings, metadata, or any derivatives thereof, will not be used to pre-train, train, fine-tune, integrate, optimize, or otherwise improve any artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, neural network, large language model, foundation model, or any other system that learns, adapts, generates content, makes predictions, or automates decision-making. 

You further covenant that Expedia data, including raw response data, prompts, traces, conversation history, vector stores, weights, embeddings, and any agent memory or similar artifacts containing Expedia data, will not be cached, stored, or retained longer than reasonably necessary to generate and return a response to an individual end-user request or to comply with documented legal, regulatory, audit, or security obligations.

Disputes and Arbitration 

Please read this Section carefully. It requires that any and all claims be resolved by binding arbitration or in small claims court, and it prevents you from pursuing a class action or similar proceeding in any forum. Arbitration is required if your country of residence enforces arbitration agreements, including without limitation, the United States. If you are outside the United States but attempt to bring a claim in the United States, arbitration is required for determination of the threshold issue of whether this dispute resolution section applies to you, as well as all other threshold determinations, including residency, arbitrability, venue, and applicable law. If your country of residence does not enforce arbitration agreements, the mandatory pre-arbitration dispute resolution and notification and prohibition on class actions or representative proceedings provided below still apply to the extent enforceable by law. 

Expedia is committed to traveler satisfaction and to resolving consumer disputes in a timely and efficient manner. We have a two-step dispute resolution process that includes: (1) investigation and negotiation of your claim with Expedia’s Traveler Support team; and, if necessary, (2) binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or, for arbitrations outside of the United States, an agreed upon arbitral tribunal. You and Expedia each retain the right to seek relief in small claims court as an alternative to arbitration. 

Agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”) 

You and Expedia mutually agree that any disputes between us arising out of or relating in any way to the Plugin, these Terms, our Privacy Statement, any services or products provided by Expedia or any of its subsidiaries, travel providers, or companies offering products or services through Expedia, any dealings with Expedia’s Traveler Support agents, or any representations made by Expedia (“Claims”), will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court except those resolved in small claims court. This includes any Claims you assert against us, our subsidiaries, travel providers, or any companies offering products or services through Expedia (which are beneficiaries of this Arbitration Agreement). This Arbitration Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall include any claims brought by or against, any third parties, including but not limited to your spouses, heirs, third-party beneficiaries, and assigns, where their underlying claims are in relation to your use of the Plugin. To the extent that any third-party beneficiary to these Terms brings claims against the entities covered by these Terms, those claims shall also be subject to this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including without limitation the existence, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement, any defense to arbitration such as issues relating to whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced, is unconscionable or illusory, and any defenses to arbitration, including without limitation jurisdiction, waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel. 

Small claims court matters 

Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration provisions, either you or Expedia may bring, or remove, any claim in small claims court if the claim is within such court’s jurisdictional limit; provided that such court does not have the authority to entertain any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated in such proceeding. Further, if the claims asserted in any demand for arbitration is within the small claims court’s jurisdictional limit, then either you or Expedia may elect to have the claims heard in small claims court, rather than in arbitration, at any time before the arbitrator is appointed, or in accord with the AAA rules, by notifying the other party of that election in writing. 

No class actions or representative proceedings 

You and Expedia agree that any and all proceedings to resolve Claims will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action, including without limitation as a private attorney general. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s Claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. You and Expedia further acknowledge that you are each waiving your right to a jury trial. 

Arbitration rules and governing law 

This Arbitration Agreement is a “written agreement to arbitrate” evidencing a transaction in interstate commerce. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs all substantive and procedural interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. The arbitrator shall apply the law of the state of Washington, regardless of conflict of laws principles, except for claims arising in the state of California in which event, the arbitrator shall apply the law of California. The FAA governs all provisions relating to arbitration. Foreign laws do not apply. This Arbitration Agreement can only be amended by mutual agreement in writing. 

Mandatory pre-arbitration dispute resolution and notification 

Prior to initiating arbitration, you agree to give Expedia the opportunity to resolve any Claims by notifying Expedia of the Claim in writing and attempting in good faith to negotiate an informal resolution. 

You must send, by certified mail, a written and signed Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) addressed to: Legal Department/Dispute Resolution Provision, Expedia, Inc., 1111 Expedia Group Way West, Seattle, WA, 98119. 

The Notice must contain the following information: (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) the email address you used to make your reservation, (4) a brief description of the nature of your complaint, (5) the resolution that you are seeking, and (6) your signature. 

If Expedia is not able to resolve your complaint within 60 days of you providing Notice, you may commence an arbitration proceeding. Engaging in this pre-arbitration dispute resolution and notification process is a requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. AAA does not have authority to administer or adjudicate the Claim unless and until all Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification requirements have been met. The statute of limitations shall be tolled while the parties engage in the dispute resolution process required by this Section. 

Commencing arbitration 

To initiate arbitration, you must file the Demand with the AAA as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration – Consumer Arbitration Rules at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. 

A party initiating an arbitration against us must send the written Demand for Arbitration to Legal Department/Dispute Resolution Provision, Expedia, Inc., 1111 Expedia Group Way West, Seattle, WA, 98119 concurrent with filing the Demand with AAA. 

Arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules or by mutual agreement between you and Expedia. The Arbitration shall be held either: (i) at a location determined by AAA pursuant to the AAA Rules (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for you and does not require travel in excess of 100 miles from your home or place of business); or (ii) at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and Expedia; or (iii) via videoconference; or (iv) at your election, if the only claims in the arbitration are asserted by you and are for less than $40,000 in aggregate, by telephone or by written submission. 

Attorneys’ fees and costs 

Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules, and where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. In order to initiate arbitration, each party will be responsible for paying the filing fees required by the AAA, which are approximately equivalent to current court filing fees. In the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, or you would otherwise be eligible for a fee waiver in court, we will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, regardless of the outcome of the arbitration, unless the arbitrator determines that your claim(s) were frivolous or asserted in bad faith. Either party may make a request that the arbitrator award attorneys’ fees and costs upon proving that the other party has asserted a claim, cross-claim, or defense that is groundless in fact or law, brought in bad faith or for the purpose of harassment, or is otherwise frivolous, as allowed by applicable law and the AAA Rules. 

Arbitrator’s decision 

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited under the FAA. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator bases the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any relief allowed by law or the AAA Rules, but declaratory or injunctive relief may be awarded only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. 

Severability and survival 

If any portion of this Disputes and Arbitration Provision is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) such portion will be severed and the remainder of the Provision will be given full force and effect; and (2) to the extent that any Claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such Claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual Claims in arbitration. 

15. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflict of laws principles. 

Except as otherwise provided in Section 15, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Plugin will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in King County, Washington, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts. 

16. General

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Expedia regarding the Plugin and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications regarding the Plugin. 

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. 

Expedia’s failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver. 

You may not assign or transfer these Terms without Expedia’s prior written consent. Expedia may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of assets.
