5. Fees and Payment
5.1 Fees. Customer shall pay to Licensor the fees set forth in each Order Form according to the terms of such Order Form (the “Fees”). Payment will be made by deducting the Fees from the revenue Licensor collects from third parties that register for Travel Packages subject to an Order Form.
5.2 Revenue Collection. Customer acknowledges and agrees that (i) Licensor shall collect all payments from third parties that register for Travel Packages subject to an Order Form, (ii) if any such third party pays Customer directly, Customer shall promptly, and in any event within three (3) business days, remit such payment to Licensor with sufficient detail so that Licensor can properly account for such funds (Section 5.2(i) and (ii), collectively, “Travel Package Revenue”), and (iii) Licensor will disburse Travel Package Revenue per the Event’s Order Form.
5.3 Interest. Any Fees and other amounts payable by Customer to Licensor hereunder or any Order Form which remain overdue for thirty (30) days or longer, other than due to Licensor’s failure to deduct such Fees or amounts from sums collected by Licensor for any given Event, shall be subject to interest equal to the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month and the maximum amount permitted by law, calculated daily.
5.4 Taxes. Customer shall be responsible for all determinations with respect to the collection, payment, and reporting of any sales, use, or other similar taxes applicable to the sale of the Travel Packages or products pursuant to this Agreement. Customer shall give Licensor reasonable advance notice if any such taxes are required to be collected by Licensor and its agents in connection with the sale of Travel Packages or products pursuant to this Agreement. When Licensor has the legal obligation to pay or collect any such taxes and charges, the appropriate amount will be included in Net Profit, excluding taxes on the income of the Licensor, and paid by the Customer within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice. Licensor and their Affiliates and agents shall have the right to deduct and withhold taxes from any payments to be made hereunder if such withholding is required by applicable law. To the extent that any of the aforementioned amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to the recipient of payments in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Customer will provide Licensor with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority or such other evidence as is reasonably requested by Licensor to establish that such taxes have been paid.
6. Audit
During the pendency of any Event subject to an Order Form and thereafter for a period of three (3) months after the Close-Out for such Event (the “Audit Period”), the Customer may, at its own expense, audit the books and records of Licensor insofar as they relate to the payments due pursuant to this Agreement or any Order Form, in order to verify the Fees paid and expenses incurred pursuant to any given Order Form. Any such audit shall be conducted with at least ten (10) days advance written notice to Licensor and only during Licensor’s business hours in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal business activities of Licensor. Licensor shall reasonable cooperate with any such audit. Customer must notify Licensor in writing of any claim relating to the amount of Fees paid and expenses incurred for Travel Packages before the end of the Audit Period for such Event, or forever after be barred from bringing any claim against Licensor relating to such Event. Any such notification shall detail with specificity the basis for the claim. The parties shall in good faith try to resolve expeditiously any such claim before filing a lawsuit.
7. Proprietary Rights
As between Licensor and Customer, Licensor shall retain all right, title, and interest, including, without limitation, (i) all Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the Licensed Software and the Service and any portions thereof, including, without limitation, any copy or Derivative Work of the Licensed Software or Service (or any portion thereof) and any Updates thereto and (ii) Customer Data. Customer agrees to take any action reasonably requested by Licensor to evidence, maintain, enforce, or defend the foregoing. Customer shall not take any action to jeopardize, encumber, limit, or interfere in any manner with Licensor’s or its licensors’ ownership of and rights with respect to the Licensed Software or Materials, or any Derivative Work or Update thereof or thereto.

8. Confidential Information; Non-Disclosure
8.1 Confidential Information. Customer acknowledges that, in the course of using the Licensed Software and Service and exercising its rights under this Agreement, it may obtain confidential information relating to the Licensed Software, the Service, or Licensor and its Vendors or other licensors (“Confidential Information”). Such Confidential Information shall, as between Customer and Licensor, belong solely to Licensor and shall include, without limitation, the Licensed Software and the Service (including any and all Derivative Works and Updates), all identification numbers and passwords granted in connection with this Agreement, the existence of any terms of this Agreement, trade secrets, know-how, inventions (whether or not patentable), techniques, processes, programs, ideas, algorithms, formulas, schematics, testing procedures, software design and architecture, computer code, internal documentation, design and functional specifications, product requirements, problem reports, performance information, documents, and other technical, business, product, marketing, third party customer, and financial information, plans, and data.
8.2 Use and Disclosure Restrictions. Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information constitutes and contains valuable proprietary information and trade secrets of Licensor, and embodies substantial creative efforts and confidential information, ideas, and expressions. Customer agrees: (a) to protect the Confidential Information from unauthorized dissemination and use; (b) to use the Confidential Information only for the performance of Customer’s obligations and in connection with the exercise of Customer’s rights hereunder; (c) not to disclose or otherwise provide to any third party, without the prior written consent of Licensor, any Confidential Information or any part or parts thereof; (d) to undertake whatever action is necessary to prevent or remedy (or authorize Licensor to do so in the name of Customer) any breach of Customer’s confidentiality obligations set forth herein; (e) not to remove or destroy any proprietary or confidential legends or markings placed upon or contained within the Licensed Software or the Service, or on any other Confidential Information provided to Customer by Licensor; and (f) not to develop any other materials, products, or services containing any of the concepts or ideas contained in the Licensed Software or Service or any other Confidential Information.

In addition, Customer may use or disclose Confidential Information to the extent (i) expressly approved by Licensor in writing and (ii) Customer is legally compelled to disclose such Confidential Information, provided, however, before any such compelled disclosure Customer shall cooperate fully with Licensor in protecting against any such disclosure and/or obtaining a protective order narrowing the scope of such disclosure and/or use of the Confidential Information.
8.4 Equitable Relief. Customer acknowledges and agrees that due to the unique nature of Licensor’s Confidential Information, there can be no adequate remedy at law to compensate Licensor for the breach of this Section 8 or of Section 2 that any such breach will allow Customer or third parties to compete unfairly with Licensor resulting in irreparable harm to Licensor that would be difficult to measure; and, therefore, that upon any such breach or threat thereof, Licensor shall be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate equitable relief (without the necessity of proving actual damages or of posting a bond), in addition to whatever remedies it may have at law, hereunder, or otherwise.
8.5 Non-Disparagement. Neither party shall commit any action or make any omission (including, but not limited to, posting on social media) that deceives or misleads the public, damages or impairs the reputation or value of the other party, or would lead to or reasonably be expected to lead to unwanted or unfavorable publicity of the other party.

LICENSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT ALL ERRORS, FAILURES, OR DEFECTS SHALL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.

Neither party shall be liable to the other for damages of any kind solely as a result of terminating this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Either party’s termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any other right or remedy that it may have at law or in equity, and shall not relieve either party of breaches occurring before the effective date of such termination.
