- Fees and Payment.
- For paid plan Customers, Customer will pay Safara all fees associated with the applicable Subscription (the "Fees"). Fees are charged automatically to Customer's designated payment method at the start of each billing period, in advance, on a monthly or annual basis as selected by Customer through the Safara 360 dashboard. By subscribing, Customer authorizes Safara to charge the applicable Fees on a recurring basis until the Subscription is cancelled. If Customer believes that Safara has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must notify Safara in writing no later than 30 days from the date the charge appeared.
- All Fees are non-refundable, except as otherwise required by applicable law or as expressly stated in this Agreement.
- Fees are based on services purchased and not actual usage, but Customer’s use of the Safara Portal or Application(s) and/or Guests use of the Guest Demand Platform may be subject to usage limits in accordance with the package Customer selects. If Customer exceed its usage limits, extra charges may apply.
- Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection, and may result in immediate termination of access to the Safara Software. Customer will pay all Fees in U.S. Dollars. Safara may suspend access to the Safara Software if Customer fails to make any payment due within 10 business days after Safara provides notice of the failure. Suspension of the access to the Safara Software under this section does not relieve Customer of its payment obligations under this Agreement. Safara will not be liable to Customer nor to any third party for any suspension of access to the Safara Software pursuant to this section.
- For prepaid reservations facilitated through the Guest Demand Platform where Safara collects payment from a Guest, Safara may remit settlement to Customer net of applicable third-party transaction costs, including (a) a 2.9% credit/debit card processing fee and (b) a distribution platform fee of 1–2%, depending on the applicable distribution partner. Safara does not apply any additional markup or commission beyond the transaction costs described above. Safara may update such transaction costs from time to time to reflect changes in third-party fees.
- Term and Termination.
- Term.
- Paid Plans. The term of this Agreement will commence on the date Customer activates a paid plan through the Safara 360 dashboard and will continue until terminated in accordance with this Agreement (the "Term"). Paid Subscriptions will automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual, as selected by Customer) unless Customer cancels at least 30 days before the end of the current billing period. Safara may change the Fees applicable to any renewal period by providing Customer with at least 60 days' written notice before the start of the next billing period.
- Free Plans. The term of this Agreement will commence on the date Customer activates a free plan through the Safara 360 dashboard and will continue until terminated in accordance with this Agreement (the "Term"). Free Subscriptions will renew on a monthly basis unless either party terminates at any time. Safara may change the terms applicable to free plans at any time with written notice to Customer.
- Termination for Breach or Insolvency. Either party may terminate this Agreement or Subscription, effective upon written notice to the other party, if the other party materially breaches this Agreement and such breach is incapable of cure, or (if such breach capable of cure) the breaching party does not cure such breach within 30 days of receiving notice of it. Safara may terminate or suspend this Agreement or any part of it immediately upon written notice to Customer without a cure period if Customer breaches Sections 3 (Restrictions and Responsibilities) or 6 (Confidentiality). Either party may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon written notice, if the other party files, or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or pursuant to any other insolvency law, makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or applies for, or consents to, the appointment of a trustee, receiver, or custodian for a substantial part of its property.
- Effect of Termination. Termination of this Agreement will automatically terminate all active Subscriptions, but termination of a single Subscription will not result in termination of this Agreement or any other Subscriptions. Upon the termination of this Agreement, or a Subscription, all rights and licenses granted by Safara to Customer under this Agreement or the applicable Subscription will terminate, and Customer will uninstall and delete any Safara IP and Implementation-Related IP from its (or its hosting provider’s) equipment. Either party’s termination of this Agreement is without prejudice to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, and does not relieve either party of liability for breaches occurring prior to the effective date of termination. Neither party will be liable to the other for damages arising solely as a result of terminating this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
- Post-Termination Obligations. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Safara will make all Customer Data then held on Customer’s behalf by Safara pursuant to this Agreement available to Customer for electronic retrieval for a period of 30 days. After such period, Safara will delete any such Customer Data. If Customer terminates this Agreement for material breach or if Safara terminates this Agreement under Section 10.C (IP Infringement), Customer will pay a pro rata amount of the Fees for any terminated Services up to and including the last day on which the Services are provided. If this Agreement is terminated for any other reason, within 10 days after such termination, Customer will pay Safara all remaining Fees owed under any terminated Subscriptions. The following sections of this Agreement will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: Sections 1 (Definitions), 3 (Restrictions and Responsibilities), 4 (Ownership; Licenses), 5 (Usage Data), 6 (Confidentiality), 7 (Fees and Payment), 8.C (Effect of Termination), 8.D (Post-Termination Obligations), 9.C (Disclaimer), 9.D (Non-Safara Reservation Systems), 10 (Indemnification), 11 (Limitations of Liability), 13 (Arbitration), and 15 (Miscellaneous).

- Customer Warranties. Customer represents and warrants to Safara that: (1) Customer has the necessary rights, licenses, authorizations, and permissions to authorize Safara to use and otherwise process the Customer Data and Transaction Data and to integrate and operate the Guest Demand Platform in accordance with this Agreement, and the foregoing does not and will not violate Applicable Law, including by infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating any third-party right, including any Intellectual Property Right or privacy right; (2) Customer’s operation of the Site does not and will not (i) violate any Applicable Law, or (ii) breach any agreement to which Customer is a party; and (3) Customer will use the Safara Software in compliance with the Documentation and Applicable Law.

- Paid Plan. Except for the limited warranties described in this Section 9 (Warranties and Disclaimer), Safara makes no other express or implied warranties with respect to the Services, Safara Software, Implementation-Related IP, Documentation, or otherwise, and specifically disclaims all implied and statutory warranties, including the implied warranties of non-infringement of third-party rights, merchantability, satisfactory quality, accuracy, title, and fitness for a particular purpose, and any warranties arising from course of dealing, usage, or trade practice. Except for the limited warranties described in this Section 9, the Services, Safara Software, Implementation-Related IP, and Documentation are provided “as is.” Safara does not warrant that the Services, Safara Services, Implementation-Related IP, or Documentation will satisfy Customer’s requirements, are without defect or error, or that the operation of the Safara Software will be uninterrupted. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of warranties, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to Customer.
- Non-Safara Reservation Systems. Portions of the Guest Demand Platform rely on and requires integration with reservation systems and databases that Customer utilizes to enable Guests to book reservations for Customer’s products and services (“Non-Safara Reservation Systems”). Customer agrees and acknowledges that Safara does not control Non-Safara Reservation Systems and will not be in breach of this Agreement (or otherwise liable to Customer) for any loss of functionality or features of, or other adverse effect to, the Safara Software arising out of or relating to any malfunction of a Non-Safara Reservation System or change (including a loss) to Safara’s rights or ability to access or use a Non-Safara Reservation System (any such malfunction or change, a “Non-Safara Reservation Failure”). For the avoidance of doubt, Customer will not be entitled to any refund, credit, or other compensation under this Agreement for any loss or liability incurred as a result of a Non-Safara Reservation Failure. Without limiting the foregoing or anything else contained in this Agreement, Safara (1) does not warrant or provide support for Non-Safara Reservation Systems, whether or not they are designated by Safara as “recommended,” “certified,” or otherwise; (2) is not responsible for any violations of Applicable Law relating to Non-Safara Reservation Systems, or arising from Customer’s or a Guest’s use of a Non-Safara Reservation Systems; and (3) does not guarantee the continued availability of any Non-Safara Reservation Systems (or any integration with any Non-Safara Reservation Systems).

- IP Infringement. If any Safara Software is held to infringe (or if Safara reasonably believes will be held to infringe) any third-party Intellectual Property Rights, Safara may, at its option and expense: (1) modify the applicable Safara Software to make it non-infringing; or (2) obtain a license that permits Customer (or if applicable, Guests) to continue using such Safara Software .

Free plan Customers agree that Safara will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from use of the Services.
- Paid Plans.
- Exclusion of Damages. Except for damages resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct, neither Safara nor its suppliers, officers, affiliates, representatives, contractors, or employees will be liable to Customer for any lost profits, loss of business, or loss of data, consequential, incidental, special, or exemplary damages arising out of or related to this Agreement, even if Safara is apprised of the likelihood of such damages occurring.

Except for damages resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct, Safara’s total liability of all kinds arising out of or related to this Agreement (including warranty claims), regardless of the forum and regardless of whether any action or claim is based on contract, tort, or otherwise, will not exceed (1) with respect to any particular claim, the total amount paid by Customer to Safara during the six months immediately preceding the claim (determined as of the date of any final judgment in an action), or (2) in the aggregate, the total Fees paid or payable to Safara under this Agreement.
- Basis of the Bargain. This Section 11 (Limitations of Liability) is to allocate the risks of this Agreement between the parties and will apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose . This allocation is reflected in the pricing offered by Safara to Customer and is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between the parties. Each of these provisions is severable and independent of all other provisions of this Agreement. The limitations in this Section 11 will apply notwithstanding the failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy in this Agreement.
- Applicability. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of damages. This Section 11 (Limitations of Liability) will apply to Customer solely to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
- Insurance.
- Each party will obtain and maintain throughout the Term commercially reasonable insurance coverage appropriate for their respective operations. Each party will provide a certificate of insurance upon the other party's written request.
- Arbitration.
- Any claim, dispute, or controversy between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement which cannot be satisfactorily settled by the parties will be finally and exclusively settled by binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) upon the written request of either party. The Arbitration will be administered under the American Arbitration Association’s Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures in force when the notice of arbitration is submitted (the “Rules”). The Arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator selected in accordance with the Rules. The seat of the Arbitration will be in New York, New York. The Arbitration will be conducted in English. The Arbitration award will be final and binding upon the parties, and judgment upon such award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The Arbitration proceedings and any award will be each party’s Confidential Information. The arbitrator’s award may include compensatory damages against either party but the arbitrator will not be authorized to and will not award punitive damages against either party. The parties agree to keep confidential the existence of the arbitration, the arbitral proceedings, the submissions made by the parties, and the decisions made by the arbitrator, including its awards, except as required by Applicable Law and to the extent not already in the public domain. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (A) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (B) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
- Publicity.
- Safara may publicly list Customer as a customer of Safara and use Customer’s trademark, trade name, and logo for marketing or promotional purposes and in other communication with existing or potential Safara customers, resellers, or investors.
- Miscellaneous.
- Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by New York law without reference to its conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this Agreement. Subject to Section 13 (Arbitration), all claims arising under this Agreement will be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of New York, New York. The parties submit to the jurisdiction in those courts. In any proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees.
- Non-Solicitation. During the Term and for two years thereafter, Customer will not directly or indirectly solicit for employment or otherwise induce, influence, or encourage any employee or contractor of Safara to terminate their engagement with Safara. This Section 15.2 will apply solely to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
- Injunctive Relief. If either party breaches Sections 3.1 (Use Restrictions) or 6 (Confidentiality), the other party may suffer irreparable harm, and monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate the non-breaching party. Accordingly, either party may, in addition to any other remedies available, seek injunctive or other equitable relief in response to any such breach.
- Further Assurances. Each party will execute and deliver any documents or instruments, and take any further actions that are reasonably required, to provide the other party the full benefits and rights described in this Agreement.
- Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement or delegate its performance without the other party’s prior written consent, and any attempt to do so is void; except either party may assign this Agreement to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to which this Agreement relates. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties’ permitted successors and assigns.
- Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or portion of a provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the rest of this Agreement will remain in effect.
- No Waiver. Neither party will be treated as having waived any rights by not exercising (or delaying the exercise of) any rights under this Agreement.
- Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any Subscriptions) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes any other agreement of the parties relating to its subject matter (including any nondisclosure agreements entered into in anticipation of this Agreement). Any additional provisions (including any “click wrap” terms, terms referenced via URL, or otherwise) in any purchase order or other document provided by Customer will be void and have no binding effect on Safara, except as described in Section 2.1 (Subscriptions). No usage of trade or other regular practice or method of dealing between the parties will be used to modify, interpret, or supplement the terms of this Agreement.
- Amendment. Safara may modify this Agreement from time to time by posting an updated version on its website or by otherwise providing notice to Customer. The updated Agreement will be effective as of the “Last Updated” date indicated therein (or such later date as specified). Customer’s continued access to or use of the Services following the effective date of any updated Agreement constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.
- Relationship. The parties are independent contractors of each other. Each party is responsible for instructing and managing its employees and personnel. This Agreement does not create any agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship between the parties.
