2.6.2. TripActions is not responsible for the provision of Travel Services and does not guarantee the correctness of any material, information or results made available to Customer by or from Travel Service Providers, and the presentation of travel inventory through the Subscription Services does not constitute a binding contract offer by TripActions or the respective Travel Service Provider. Customer acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase of Travel Services may be subject to the terms and conditions, agreements (such as contract of carriage), and privacy and security policies of the specific Travel Service Provider selected by the Authorized User, and (ii) the use of Travel Services will be subject to Customer’s and Authorized Users’ compliance with applicable law.

TripActions has discretion to determine what categories of travel inventory are eligible for Rewards. (iii) “Eligible Savings” means the difference between the Price to Beat and the total actual purchase price of the Reward-Eligible Booking, where the purchase price is less than the Price to Beat. (iv) “Reward Points” means a percentage of the Eligible Savings (which percentage is determined by the Algorithm), which is allocated to, and may be redeemed by, the Authorized User as a personal reward via the TripActions Reward Program. Reward Points accrue to the Authorized User upon the Authorized User’s completion of travel for the Reward-Eligible Booking. (v) “Reward Program Funds” means the aggregate accrued Reward Points for all Authorized Users.
2.7.2. Invoicing and Payment. Each month, Customer shall pay to TripActions the Reward Program Funds that have accrued during the prior calendar month, whether or not the Reward Points have been redeemed by the Authorized Users. Customer is solely responsible for the cost of the Reward Program Funds, and any redemption of Reward Points by an Authorized User is subject to Customer‘s payment of the applicable Reward Program Funds. TripActions shall invoice Customer for the Reward Program Funds on the third day of each calendar month (or the first business day thereafter, if the third day is not a business day), and payment shall be due by credit card on the tenth day of the calendar month (or the first business day thereafter, if the tenth day is not a business day).

Invoices will be sent by email only to the address indicated by Customer in the Employer Account. All Fees are non-refundable.

4.1.1. Booking Fees are applied to each Trip and charged on the payment method used for the Trip. A “
Trip

4.2. Taxes. All amounts and fees stated or referred to in this Agreement, are exclusive of taxes, duties, levies, tariffs, and other governmental charges (including, without limitation, VAT) (collectively, “Taxes”).

Rewards Program Funds and Management Fees (if applicable) will be invoiced in US Dollars.

4.4. Changes in Pricing. If a change in governing law, currency fluctuation, or travel industry conditions directly results in a significant increase in TripActions’ costs to provide the Subscription Services, TripActions shall have the right to adjust the Fees in proportion to the impact of the change. TripActions will notify Customer of any such pricing adjustment in writing and provide reasonable supporting documentation substantiating the basis for the adjustment (“Adjustment Notice”). In each case, Customer shall be entitled to request in writing a good faith renegotiation of the Fees. If upon 30 days from the receipt of such Adjustment Notice, Customer has not requested renegotiation, the respective pricing adjustment shall be deemed accepted by Customer. If upon 30 days from the receipt of such Adjustment Notice, Customer has requested renegotiation, but the Parties remain unsuccessful in renegotiating mutually satisfactory terms, either Party shall have the right to terminate Agreement at any time thereafter.

5. OWNERSHIP

As between TripActions and Customer, the Subscription Services and Software (and all copies of the Software), and all Intellectual Property Rights therein or relating thereto, are and shall remain the exclusive property of TripActions or its licensors.

6. CONFIDENTIALITY

During the Term and for a period of two (2) years after expiration or termination of this Agreement, neither party shall make the other’s Confidential Information available to any third party or use the other’s Confidential Information for any purposes other than exercising its rights and performing its obligations under this Agreement. Neither party shall disclose Confidential Information except to such party’s advisors, accountants, attorneys, investors (and prospective investors), and prospective acquirers as have a reasonable need to know such information, provided that any such third parties shall, before they may access such information, either (a) execute a binding agreement to keep such information confidential or (b) be subject to a professional obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information. Each party shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that the other’s Confidential Information is not disclosed or distributed by its employees or agents in violation of the terms of this Agreement, but in no event will either party use less effort to protect the Confidential Information of the other party than it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of like importance. Each party will ensure that any agents or subcontractors that are permitted to access any of the other’s Confidential Information are legally bound to comply with the obligations set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information may be disclosed as required by any governmental agency, provided that before disclosing such information the disclosing party must provide (to the extent permitted by applicable law) the non-disclosing party with sufficient advance notice of the agency’s request for the information to enable the non-disclosing party to exercise any rights it may have to challenge or limit the agency’s authority to receive such Confidential Information.

7.4. Algorithm Disclaimer. The Subscription Services make use of certain proprietary algorithms (collectively, the “Algorithm”) that take into account factors such as Customer policy, Authorized User profiles and behavior, current market conditions, and other relevant factors to determine dynamic travel policy limits, market price, price to beat, Rewards availability and amounts, sorting of Travel Services results, availability of special products and discounts, or other features. Customer acknowledges that the Algorithm may display different results for different Authorized Users, locations, dates, and other elements.

TripActions further disclaims any and all warranties with respect to the Subscription Services as to merchantability, accuracy of any information provided, or fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. TripActions further disclaims any and all warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. No advice or information, including but not limited to tax advice and reporting responsibilities, whether oral or written, obtained from TripActions or elsewhere shall create any warranty not expressly stated in this Agreement.

8. TERM AND TERMINATION

8.1. Term. This Agreement shall commence on the date Customer completes the sign-up process through the Onboarding Services, and shall continue until such time as Customer cancels the Employer Account, unless terminated earlier as provided in this Agreement (the “Term”).

8.2. Termination for Convenience. At any time, Customer may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately, by cancelling their Employer Account. Customer may, in its sole discretion, elect to offer TripActions advance notice of any such termination, and if so, TripActions will reasonably cooperate with Customer, in a wind-down of services prior to such termination. TripActions may immediately suspend or terminate Customer’s access to the Subscription Services, by written notice to Customer, in the event that (i) TripActions determines on the basis of reasonable evidence that the Subscription Services are being used for fraudulent or criminal activities, or in violation of any applicable law or regulation, or (ii) in the event that a governmental, legal or other law enforcement authority so requires, or instructs TripActions to terminate or suspend services to Customer. In the event TripActions suspects or anticipates such termination, TripActions will, to the extent practical under the circumstances, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer with prior written notice of the same and an opportunity to cure the same prior to (and in avoidance of) termination; provided that Customer acknowledges that under certain circumstances such prior notice and/or cure period may not be possible or practical. Outside of the circumstances described above, TripActions may only terminate the Agreement to provide Subscription Services to Customer with ninety (90) days prior notice. In no event shall any termination relieve Customer of the obligation to pay any undisputed Fees payable to TripActions for the period prior to the effective date of termination or cancellation.

If either Party commits a material breach of its obligations in this Agreement (including payment obligations), the non-defaulting Party may give written notice to the defaulting Party specifying the nature of the default, and if such default is not remedied, or substantial efforts are not made to remedy such default, within thirty (30) days from the receipt of such notice, then the non-defaulting Party shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement by written notice. In the event of any termination for breach by Customer, Customer shall be entitled to a pro-rated refund of Fees paid until the date of termination.

8.4. Termination for Insolvency.

TripActions’ obligations under this Section 9.2 are contingent upon: (a) Customer providing TripActions with prompt written notice of such claim; (b) Customer providing reasonable cooperation to TripActions, at TripActions’ expense, in the defense and settlement of such claim; and (c) TripActions having sole authority to defend or settle such claim. With respect to claims described in subsection (i) herein, in the event that TripActions’ right to provide the Subscription Services is enjoined or in TripActions’ reasonable opinion is likely to be enjoined, TripActions may obtain the right to continue providing the Subscription Services, replace or modify the Subscription Services so that they become non-infringing, or, if such remedies are not reasonably available, terminate this Agreement without liability to Customer and provide a pro rata refund of any fees prepaid and unused upon such termination. The foregoing states the entire obligation of TripActions and its licensors with respect to any alleged or actual infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights by the Subscription Services.

12.4. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

12.5. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder (except for the payment of money) on account of events beyond the reasonable control of such party, which may include without limitation denial-of-service attacks, strikes (except by its own employees), shortages, riots, insurrection, fires, flood, storm, explosions, acts of God, war, terrorism, governmental action, labor conditions, earthquakes and material shortages (each a “Force Majeure Event”). Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the non-performing party will be excused from any further performance of its obligations effected by the Force Majeure Event for so long as the event continues and such party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance.

12.6. Compliance with Laws. Each party agrees to comply with all applicable laws, including U.S. export laws, and regulations with respect to its activities hereunder.

12.7. Relationship Between the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between the parties. Neither party will have the power to bind the other or to incur obligations on the other’s behalf without such other party’s prior written consent.

12.8. Assignment/Successors. Neither party may assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the other party’s written consent except to its Affiliate or in the event of a Change of Control (as defined below). Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this Section will be null and void. “Change of Control” means, with respect to a party: (a) the direct or indirect acquisition of either (i) the majority of voting stock of such party or (ii) all or substantially all of the assets of such party, by another entity in a single transaction or a series of transactions; or (b) the merger of such party with another entity. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns. “Affiliate” means with respect to a party, any entity which (i) is controlled by, (ii) controls, or (iii) is under common control with such party, where the term “control” means the ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares entitled to vote for the election of directors.

12.9. Feedback. If Customer or its Authorized Users submit suggestions, ideas, comments, questions, or post any information through the Subscription Services (“Feedback”), Customer grants TripActions and its Affiliates a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, and irrevocable right to use (and full right to sublicense), reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, transmit, and display such Feedback in any form. Customer shall have no intellectual property right in the Subscription Services as a result of TripActions’ incorporation of Feedback into the Subscription Services.

12.10. Changes. TripActions reserves the right to, without materially affecting the functionality of the Subscription Services: (1) discontinue, impose limits on, or restrict access to any aspect of the Subscription Services at any time, with or without cause or notice, including the availability of any of the features, delivery services, databases, or content, or (2) edit or delete any documents, information, or other content appearing in the Subscription Services. In the event that changes permitted by this Section 12.10 materially impact the features available to Customer and its Authorized Users for a substantial period of time, Customer may terminate this Agreement without penalty (and shall be entitled to receive a prorated refund of any prepaid Fees) after providing 30 days’ prior notice to TripActions.

12.11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between the parties concerning its subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, written or oral, concerning the subject matter of this Agreement.

12.12. Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges that a breach by the other party of any confidentiality or proprietary rights provision of this Agreement may cause the non-breaching party irreparable damage, for which the award of damages would not be adequate compensation. Consequently, the non-breaching party may institute an action to enjoin the breaching party from any and all acts in violation of those provisions, which remedy shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and a party may seek the entry of an injunction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of those provisions, in addition to any other relief to which the non-breaching party may be entitled at law or in equity.

12.13. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the signatories and is not intended to benefit any third party. Only the parties may enforce this Agreement.
