Customer has sole responsibility for delivery of the services being reserved by the consumer. It is the sole responsibility of the Customer to carefully manage their reservations and inventory.

  • Provider’s Services are integrated with a facilitated payment solution offered by a certain payment services provider (“Processor”). The Processor’s role is to accept and process credit card, debit card, and other types of payments with respect to Transactions. By accepting this SaaS Agreement and the Processor Terms as identified in Section 10, Customer agrees to the creation of an account with the Processor for payment processing.
  • To the extent permitted by law, Provider may collect Provider’s Platform Services Fees by requesting Processor to deduct the corresponding amounts from the funds received for the Customer Website Booking or On-Site Booking. Provider’s Platform Services Fees will be assessed at the time the Customer Website Booking or On-Site Booking is processed and first deducted from the funds received for such booking. Alternatively, and to the extent permitted by law, Provider may collect Provider’s Platform Services Fees by requesting Processor to deduct the corresponding amounts from the Reserve Account (as that term is defined in Section 10).
  • Consumers are not charged and do not pay additional fees to the Processor for use of the Processor’s facilitated payment solution. Rather, the fees of the Processor are charged to Provider. Provider may consolidate Processor’s fees with the Provider’s Platform Services Fees. To the extent permitted by law, Provider may request Processor to deduct such fees from the funds received from the applicable Customer Website Bookings and On-Site Bookings at the time of processing or from the Reserve Account as identified in Section 10.
  • For the avoidance of doubt, if any Customer Website Booking or On-Site Booking is cancelled, Provider has the right to retain the Platform Services Fees collected for such booking. Pursuant to Section 10, Provider does not assume any liability for reservations and/or purchases of accommodations, products, and/or services of Customer that may later be reversed or charged back.
  • Provider may increase Platform Services Fees for any Renewal Term as identified in Section 12 by providing written notice to Customer at least sixty (60) calendar days prior to the commencement of such Renewal Term and the rates for the Platform Services Fees as set forth in the Order will be deemed amended accordingly.
  • Taxes: All Platform Services Fees and amounts payable by Customer under this SaaS Agreement are inclusive of any taxes imposed by any governmental authority (whether federal, state, local, or tribal) on the Services. To the extent that Customer’s purchase of the Services is tax exempt, Provider will not invoice Customer for tax provided that Customer gives Provider a properly executed tax exemption certificate within thirty (30) calendar days of the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section does not govern taxes based on Provider’s net income.

8. Upgrades:

  • Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Software, Documentation and other materials that may be made available by Provider as part of the Software may be updated and modified from time to time, in Provider’s sole and reasonable discretion.

9. Provider Subcontractors:

  • Provider may from time to time in its discretion engage third parties to perform Services (each, a “Subcontractor”).

10. Backup:

  • Customer is solely responsible for maintaining a copy and backup of Customer Data. Provider shall not be responsible for maintaining a copy and/or backup of Customer Data. PROVIDER IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, ALTERATION, DESTRUCTION, DAMAGE, CORRUPTION, OR RECOVERY OF CUSTOMER DATA.

11. Feedback:

  • If Customer or any of its employees or contractors sends or transmits any communications or materials to Provider by mail, email, telephone, or otherwise, suggesting or recommending changes to the Software, including without limitation, new features or functionality relating thereto, or any comments, questions, suggestions, or the like (“Feedback”), Provider is free to use such Feedback irrespective of any other obligation or limitation between the Parties governing such Feedback.

    • negligence or more culpable act or omission (including recklessness or willful misconduct) by Customer, any Authorized User, or any third party on behalf of Customer or any Authorized User, in connection with this SaaS Agreement.

    • “Receiving Party” means the party receiving any Proprietary Information hereunder, whether such party is the Provider or the Customer whether such disclosure is received directly or through the Receiving Party’s employees, contractors, or agents.
  • The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party will remain the sole and exclusive property of the Disclosing Party or a third party providing such information to the Disclosing Party. The disclosure of the Proprietary Information to the Receiving Party does not confer upon the Receiving Party any license, interest, or right of any kind in or to the Proprietary Information, except as provided under this SaaS Agreement. At all times and notwithstanding any termination or expiration of this SaaS Agreement, the Receiving Party agrees that it will hold in strict confidence and not disclose to any third party the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party, except as approved in writing by the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party will only permit access to the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its employees or authorized representatives having a need to know and who have signed confidentiality agreements or are otherwise bound by confidentiality obligations substantially similar to those contained in this SaaS Agreement. The Receiving Party will be responsible to the Disclosing Party for any third party’s use and disclosure of the Proprietary Information that the Receiving Party provides to such third party in accordance with this SaaS Agreement and written instructions of Disclosing Party.

Each Party to this SaaS Agreement specifically acknowledges that money damages alone may be an inadequate remedy for the injuries and damages that would be suffered and incurred by the non-breaching Party as a result of a breach of any provision of this Section 17. In the event that either Party should seek an injunction hereunder, the other Party hereby waives any requirement for the submission of proof of the economic value of any Proprietary Information or the posting of a bond or any other security. In the event of a dispute between the Parties, the non-prevailing Party will pay all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, associated with resolving the dispute.

With respect to trade secrets, nondisclosure and use obligations pursuant to this SaaS Agreement will continue for so long as such information continues to constitute a trade secret under applicable law.
