ANNEX A: Terms
and Conditions for
Advertising Agreement between Travelzoo and Orbitz, LLC
(“Advertiser”)
For August 1, 2002 – July 31, 2003 Program
Flight
The following terms and conditions
(the “Terms”) shall be deemed to be incorporated into
the insertion order/advertising agreement for Advertiser’s
August 1, 2002 – July 31, 2003 advertising campaign (the
“Insertion Order”):
| 1. |
Terms of payment. This
is a cost-per-click agreement, and Advertiser will be billed only
for click-throughs actually delivered. Travelzoo will invoice
Advertiser at the end of each month during the term of this
agreement for click- throughs actually delivered, as set forth n
the Insertion Order; provided, however, that the total payments
during the term of this agreement shall not exceed $1,980,000,
unless otherwise agreed to in writing. Payment shall be made to
Travelzoo within thirty (30) days from the receipt of invoice
(“Due Date”). Amounts paid after the Due Date shall
bear interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month (or the
highest rate permitted by law, if less). In the event Advertiser
fails to make timely payment, Advertiser will be responsible for
all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred
by Travelzoo in collecting such amounts. Travelzoo reserves the
right to suspend performance of its obligations hereunder (or under
any other agreement with Advertiser) in the event Advertiser fails
to make timely payment hereunder or under any other agreement with
Travelzoo.
|
| 2. |
Positioning. Except for
the positions expressively defined in the Insertion Order,
positioning of advertisements on Travelzoo are determined by
Travelzoo unless Advertiser has objected to certain positions.
Travelzoo may, at its sole discretion, remove from the Insertion
Order (and substitute with similar inventory) any keyword or
category page that it reasonably believes to be a trademark, trade
name, company name, product name or brand name belonging to or
claimed by a third party.
|
| 3. |
Usage Statistics.
Unless specified in the Insertion Order, Travelzoo makes no
guarantees with respect to usage statistics or levels of
impressions for any advertisement. Advertiser acknowledges that
delivery statistics provided by Travelzoo are the official
measurements of Travelzoo’s performance on any delivery
obligations provided in the Insertion Order. The processes and
technology used to generate such statistics can be audited by the
Advertiser or an independent agency. Click-throughs will also be
tracked and reported by Advertiser’s third party ad server
(currently DoubleClick DART), and Travelzoo will be given access to
all third party numbers continuously throughout the length of this
agreement. In the event there is a discrepancy of greater than 5%
between the click-throughs reported by Travelzoo and the
click-throughs reported by advertiser’s third party ad server
for any month (“Discrepancy”), Advertiser’s
payment obligations shall be reduced by an amount equal to the
Discrepancy (provided that Advertiser shall provide documentation
of such Discrepancy with its payment).
|
| 4. |
Renewal. Except as
expressly set forth in the Insertion Order, any renewal of the
Insertion Order shall be upon mutual agreement only, and acceptance
of any additional advertising order shall be at Travelzoo’s
sole discretion. Pricing for any renewal period is subject to
change by Travelzoo from time to time prior to commencement of such
renewal period.
|
| 5. |
No Assignment or Resale
of Ad Space. Neither party shall resell, assign, or transfer any of
its rights hereunder without the prior approval of the other party,
and any attempt to resell, assign or transfer such rights without
such approval shall result in immediate termination of this
agreement, without liability to the terminating party.
|
| 6. |
Limitation of
Liability. In the event (1) Travelzoo fails to publish an
advertisement in accordance with the schedule provided in the
Insertion Order, (2) Travelzoo fails to deliver the number of total
page views specified in the Insertion Order (if any) by the end of
the specified period, or (3) of any other failure, technical or
otherwise, of such advertisements to be delivered as provided in
the Insertion Order, the sole liability of Travelzoo to Advertiser
shall be limited to, at Travelzoo’s sole discretion, a pro
rata refund of the advertising fee representing undelivered page
views, placement of the advertisement at a later time in a
comparable position, or extension of the term of the Insertion
Order until total page views are delivered. In no event shall
either party be responsible for any consequential, special,
punitive or other damages, including, without limitation, lost
revenue or profit, in any way arising out of or related to the
Insertion Order/Terms or publication of the advertisement, even if
such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Without limiting the foregoing, neither party shall have any
liability for any failure or delay resulting from any government
action, fire, flood, insurrection, earthquake, power failure, riot,
explosion, embargo, strikes whether legal or illegal, labor
material shortage, transportation interruption of any kind, work
slowdown or any other condition beyond the reasonable control of
such party affecting production or delivery in any manner. IN NO
EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT
PAID BY ADVERTISER HEREUNDER.
|
| 7. |
Representations.
Advertisements are accepted upon the representation that Advertiser
has the right to publish the contents of the advertisement without
infringing the rights of any third party and without violating any
law. Travelzoo will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver
a number of impressions reasonably calculated to produce the number
of click-through promised in the Insertion Order. Travelzoo shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the advertisements
are not placed in any context that harm the goodwill or reputation
of Advertiser or that disparages or brings Advertiser into
disrepute, including, but not limited to web sites that contain
indecent, illegal, misleading, harmful, abusive, harassing,
libelous, defamatory, or other offensive materials. If Advertiser
requests that its advertisements be removed from or not placed in
any such context, Travelzoo will use commercially reasonable
efforts to comply with such request promptly.
|
| 8. |

Advertiser agrees, at its own expense, to indemnify, defend, and
hold harmless Travelzoo and its employees, representatives, agents
and affiliates, against any and all expenses and losses of any kind

trademark or copyright infringement, defamation, breach of
confidentiality, privacy violation, false or deceptive advertising

or criminal investigations of any kind arising out; (a) of any
content, material, product or service available on a Travelzoo
property that was not provided by or obtained from Advertiser
(including, without limitation, any claim of trademark or copyright
infringement, defamation, breach of confidentiality, privacy
violation, false or deceptive advertising or sales practices), or

warranty under this agreement. All indemnities provided by
