Updated December 29, 2019
This Services Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement“) is made between Revinate, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Revinate“) and each party (a “Customer“) that executes a Service Order (“Service Order”) for Revinate’s hospitality management services (the “Services“). Between Revinate and each Customer, the Agreement consists of these terms, each Service Order and each exhibit, addendum, and amendment of any of the foregoing. The “Effective Date” of this Agreement is date of Customer’s initial Service Order. By executing the initial Service Order, Customer agrees to all the terms set forth below.
1 Account Terms
1.1 Subscribing. Customers subscribe for Services by executing a Service Order with Revinate. The Service Order lists the Services start date and the initial term of the Customer’s subscription. Except as otherwise set forth on a Service Order, this Agreement will automatically renew for a period equal to the initial term unless either party notifies the other in writing of its intent not to renew at least 30 days prior to expiration of the then-current term. Following full execution of the Service Order, Customer may use the Services in accordance with the terms in the Service Order and the other provisions of this Agreement.
1.2 Orders by Affiliates and Property Managers. Customer’s Affiliates may, upon executing a new Service Order and agreeing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement use the Services identified in that Service Order. Upon execution of a Service Order by Revinate and an Affiliate, the Affiliate will be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as if it was an original party hereto. “Affiliate” means: (a) an entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with a party to this Agreement at any time during the term of this Agreement, for so long as such ownership and control exists, provided such entity is not a competitor to Revinate or in the business of developing and offering products or technologies that are substantially similar to the Services, or (b) a property management company (“Manager“) that has negotiated an agreement with Revinate to provide Services to multiple properties that it manages, which may be owned by third parties.

2.2 Guest Communications. Certain Services permit Customers to send email, SMS, and other messages to their guests. The sending of commercial messages is regulated by law, including CAN-SPAM and the Telephone Consumer Privacy Act in the United States. SMS messaging is further regulated by mobile service carriers and by the policies and best practices of the Mobile Marketing Association and the CTIA, which collectively impose requirements regarding the integrity of SMS content and compliance with acceptable use policies. Customer is responsible for complying with all applicable laws, published rules and policies regarding communication with its guests. If a guest opts out of a specific form of messaging from Customer (e.g. SMS), Customer will update the Services accordingly.
2.3 Use of Proprietary Third-Party Content. Use of Proprietary Third-Party Content. Customer may not modify, republish, reproduce, post, transmit, sell, offer for sale, or redistribute Third-Party Content (as defined in section 3.4) without the prior written permission of Revinate and if applicable, the rights holder of Third-Party Content (such as industry research data).

3 Payment and Pricing Terms
Customer will pay Revinate in the currency described on a Service Order (or US Dollars if not specified) the fees in the amounts and at the times specified on the Service Order. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are due 30 days from the date of Revinate’s invoice, and all fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable. Overdue balances are subject to a service charge equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum legal interest rate allowed by law. Customer will be responsible for any sales, use, value added, excise, property withholding or similar tax and any related tariffs, and similar charges, except taxes based on Revinate’s net income. If Customer is required to pay any such taxes, Customer shall pay such taxes with no reduction or offset in the amounts payable to Revinate hereunder. If an applicable tax authority requires Revinate to pay any taxes that should have been payable by Customer, Revinate will advise Customer in writing, and Customer will promptly reimburse Revinate for the amounts paid.

5.2 What Revinate Owns. The Services (including all Revinate software, Third-Party Content and Revinate Confidential Information used to provide the Services) belong to Revinate and its licensors (if any).

6 Confidentiality
6.1 Confidential Information. Unless information is deemed non-confidential under the following paragraph, all information disclosed by either party to the other during the term of this Agreement, whether in oral, written, graphic, or electronic form, is considered “Confidential Information“.

9.2 By Revinate. Revinate will defend or settle any Claims against Customer and its Indemnitees where the third party expressly asserts that: ( the Services infringe such third party’s trademark or copyright arising under the laws of the United States, or Revinate misappropriated such third party’s trade secrets in the development of Revinate’s software. Revinate will conduct the defense of any such Claim, any related proceedings and actions, and all negotiations for settlement or compromise of the same. Customer may participate in the defense of any such Claim and any related proceedings and actions at Customer’s expense.
9.3 Indemnification Process. Promptly after a party seeking indemnification obtains knowledge of the existence or commencement of a Claim, the party to be indemnified will notify the other party of the Claim in writing; provided however, that the indemnifying party’s indemnity obligations will be waived only if and to the extent that its ability to conduct the defense are materially prejudiced by the indemnified party’s failure to give notice. If the Services become, or in Revinate’s opinion are likely to become, the subject of an infringement or misappropriation Claim, Revinate may, at its option and expense, either: (a) procure for Customer the right to continue exercising the rights licensed hereunder; (b) replace or modify the Services so that they become non-infringing and remain substantially functionally equivalent; or (c) refund to Customer any advance fees paid by Customer to Revinate for periods during which Customer is unable to use the affected Services due to such Claim and terminate this Agreement.
