RECITALS
WHEREAS, Client desires to have Company web host certain Client sponsored events (each an “Event”) at various locations and to have Company act as coordinator for the internet registration of participants (“Participants”) at the Events; and
WHEREAS, Company is willing to facilitate Client Events and act as internet registration coordinator for Event Participants under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows.
AGREEMENT
- WEBSITE
- Client hereby authorizes Company to create one or more websites (each a “Website”) for the promotion of and registration of Participants at Client Events. During the Term of this Agreement (defined below), Client grants to Company a non-exclusive license to use, reproduce and post Client’s information (including but not limited to any Client trademarks, service marks and other proprietary information of Client) on the Website to the extent deemed reasonably necessary by Company to properly and effectively promote Client’s Events, all subject to Client’s prior approval, not to be unreasonably withheld. Following initial Client approval, Client may request minor modifications or revisions to Client’s content presented on the Website at no additional charge.
- TERM AND TERMINATION1
- The initial term (“Initial Term”) of this Agreement will be three (3) years beginning on the Agreement Date. The Initial Term will automatically renew for successive periods of one (1) year or different duration by mutual written agreement (“Renewal Term”), unless sixty (60) days advance written notice is given by either party prior to expiration of the Initial Term or Renewal Term. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term, if any, shall collectively be the “Term.” The Term shall end at midnight on the last day of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term (“Agreement End Date”), as applicable. The Agreement will automatically terminate upon the Agreement End Date unless extended pursuant to this Section 2.1.
- SERVICE
- Client will establish and maintain all Event links and information in order to direct Participants to Client’s home page on the Website for registration. Each Website will be dedicated solely to Client matters; no other client of Company shall be referenced on such Website. At the time of Participant registration, Company will provide Client a confirmation via email, in mutually agreeable format, regarding the particular Event and the Participant’s registration. At the time Client’s Event schedule and related information is posted on the Website, Client shall provide Company a welcome packet and information page relating to the Event in electronic form (“Event Particulars”). Company will make the Event Particulars available to the Participant in an email (addressed to Participant at the email address provided during the registration process) that provides a link and/or attachment containing such information following Participant’s registration for a particular Event.
- Client agrees that Company shall be its exclusive vendor for the types of services that are the subject of this Agreement (unless Client obtains Company’s prior written consent to retain other vendors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Company).
- To insure viability of the relationship and financial practicality of Company facilitation of Client Events, Client agrees that the parties will establish a minimum number of Participant registrations (“Minimum”) for Client’s Events. In the event (a) Client terminates this Agreement prior to the Agreement End Date for reasons other than breach by Company and (b) Client has not met the Minimum registration requirements for its Event(s) as of the date of termination, Client agrees to pay Company liquidated damages in an amount calculated as the difference between the fees projected to be earned (but not met) on the Minimum and the fees earned by Company on Client’s similar Events during the immediately preceding year.
- In the event Client cancels or reschedules an Event and a registered Participant is unable or unwilling to attend an alternate Event, then Client will promptly return all Event fees to such Participant.
- COMPENSATION
- Client agrees to pay Company based upon the fee structure as follows:
- Online Registration Fee – Client agrees to pay Company a non-refundable fee of 3% of each Participant’s Event registration fee generated via the Company hosted Website for Client Events.

- Company will collect the Online Registration and the Management and Administration Fees immediately upon receipt of a Participant’s registration fee. Any refunds allowed to a Participant by Client will be the sole responsibility of the Client. If there is a credit card or other payment dispute between Client and a Participant, Company will keep any credit card chargebacks from fees due to Client plus a $35.00 chargeback fee per incident.
- All fees due and payable to Company hereunder are non-refundable regardless of cause, including but not limited to any cancellation or postponement of an Event or Participant is unable/unwilling to participate.
