Supply Agreement

Expedia Local Expert Supply Agreement
Version December 2, 2020

This Supply Agreement (“Agreement”), dated as of the date of Supplier's online agreement to this Agreement (“Effective Date”), is between Expedia, Inc., Travelscape, LLC, VacationSpot, S.L. and BEX Travel Asia Pte Ltd. and the company specified in the online registration process ("Supplier"), and expressly incorporates the attached terms and conditions. When used in this Agreement, “Expedia” means, collectively, Expedia, Inc. and any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Expedia, Inc., or a third party that facilitates reservations through the Service. “Service” means the software, databases, products, and other components that make available Products (as defined below).



1. Products.
Supplier hereby agrees to make its travel or destination products, activities and/or services (its “Products”) available to Expedia for booking through the Service. Supplier hereby authorizes Expedia to accept bookings and issue vouchers, voucher/reservation numbers or other confirmation method as specified by Expedia for the Products (each, a “Voucher”) that Expedia makes available through the Service. Supplier will: (i) accept Vouchers presented by the customers who made the booking through the service (each, a “Customer”); and (ii) verify the identity of each Customer presenting a Voucher prior to accepting it. If Supplier cannot provide a Product to a Customer presenting a Voucher, then Supplier will immediately notify Expedia and, at the Customer’s election, provide Customer with a comparable or better Product at no additional cost, or notify Expedia of Customer’s desire for a refund. Expedia may refrain from offering Products through the Service in its sole discretion. Unless Supplier is located in Australia, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region comprising Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman, or other territory where the following is prohibited by applicable law, Supplier shall: (x) make available to Expedia all Products that it makes available through any other third party distributor of its Products (each a “Distributor”), and (y) offer its Products to Expedia at Rates equal to or less than the Rates it offers any other Distributor for the same or similar products.


2. Supplier Product Information/Rates.
(a) On or before the Effective Date, Supplier shall deliver to Expedia detailed information about the Products, in the form and manner as requested by Expedia, which will include, among other things, the Rates for the Products inclusive of Transaction Tax (as defined below), availability limitations and the cancellation policy for each Product.
(b) As used herein "Rate" shall mean (either (i) the retail rate for each Product inclusive of Transaction Taxes provided by the Supplier (each a "Retail Rate"); or (ii) the net rate inclusive of Transaction Tax as provided by Supplier or a promotional lower net rate inclusive of Transaction Tax mutually agreed upon by the parties for use in promotional offers such as travel packages (each a "Net Rate"). Except as otherwise specified in an approval signed by Supplier, Supplier shall ensure that the margin applicable to the Retail Rates shall be at least {}% below the best available retail rate for each Product (the “Margin”). For Retail Rate bookings, Expedia will act as a facilitator of such booking acting on Supplier’s behalf and in Supplier’s name. For Net Rate bookings, Expedia will act as a facilitator of such booking on Supplier's behalf but acting in its own name.
(c) Supplier will not impose a more restrictive cancellation policy on Customers than the cancellation policies Supplier imposes on customers booking directly with Supplier or through any Distributor. At a minimum, Supplier's cancellation policy shall provide a full refund for Customers cancelling at least 24 hours in advance, unless another cancellation period has been approved by Expedia in writing which may be done via email.
(d) Providing Expedia with competitive rates, rules, restrictions, policies and conditions is part of a fair and balanced commercial bargain between Supplier and Expedia, one which delivers incremental bookings to Supplier on attractive terms (including importantly at no upfront costs), and one which allows Expedia to provide a comprehensive search and booking service to Customers, while protecting Expedia from free-riding on its considerable investments in attracting Customers to Supplier’s Products.
(e) When supplying information to Expedia, Supplier shall follow the instructions provided by Expedia. By this reference, the information submitted to Expedia, once accepted by Expedia, is incorporated into, and made a part of, this Agreement.


3. Customer Service.
Supplier will provide second-tier customer service and support to resolve inquiries or issues escalated to Supplier from Expedia customer support via email and telephone, and will respond to and resolve such escalations at the same service level provided to Supplier’s best customers and in accordance with industry practice. Supplier will treat all Customers in a nondiscriminatory manner and in the same manner as Supplier treats its other customers. In an effort to ensure complete Customer satisfaction, Expedia will work in good faith with Supplier to evaluate and resolve each Customer complaint on a case-by-case basis. In the event that Supplier fails to respond to any Customer complaint escalated to Supplier by Expedia, then Expedia may, in its sole discretion, refund the amount determined by Expedia to be appropriate to the customer and may withhold such refund amount from amounts owing to Supplier.


4. Anti-Fraud Cooperation.
It is Supplier’s responsibility to verify the authenticity of all Vouchers and the identity of each Customer, Expedia shall only pay Supplier for valid Vouchers that have been redeemed and shall not pay for Vouchers that have been altered or reproduced, or have been previously paid by Expedia. If a party believes a Voucher may be or is fraudulent, or certain data provided by a customer cannot be verified, then the parties will work in good faith to address such fraudulent or potentially fraudulent Voucher. In the event of a fraudulent or potentially fraudulent Voucher, Expedia may, if possible, cancel such Voucher at any time. If cancellation of a fraudulent or potentially fraudulent Voucher occurs prior to redemption neither Expedia nor any of its affiliates shall be obligated to pay any cancellation fee or penalty.


5. Term of Agreement.
This Agreement begins on the Effective Date and continues for an initial term of one (1) year, renewing automatically for successive one-year terms thereafter, unless earlier terminated as provided herein. In addition to the termination rights elsewhere in this Agreement, Expedia may terminate all or part of this Agreement if Expedia determines (i) Supplier has materially breached this Agreement and failed to cure that material breach within 30 days’ notice, unless Supplier’s breach exposes Expedia or its Affiliates to liability toward a third-party or Supplier’s breach is a repeated breach, in which case the cure period will not apply, (ii) Supplier have not met Supplier’s payment obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement with Expedia and fail to cure that breach within 30 days’ notice, or (iii) Supplier’s use of the Service is associated with fraudulent or illegal activity or might otherwise harm other suppliers or customers. Expedia may immediately terminate all or part of this Agreement or suspend Supplier’s access to the Service if required by law. Expedia may also suspend Supplier’s access to the Service at any time and in its sole discretion, for whatever reason (including without cause). Expedia will notify Supplier of any termination or suspension and, where relevant, give Supplier reasons for the termination or suspension. Additionally, either Supplier or Expedia may terminate this Agreement for any reason by providing at least 30 days prior written notice to the other. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Supplier will honor all outstanding, previously booked Vouchers, and will continue to comply with the terms of this Agreement until the last Voucher has been redeemed.


6. Data Protection.
(a) Ownership of Customer Data. As between the parties, information including but not limited to Customer name, address, and email (“Customer Data”) that Expedia provides to Supplier pursuant to this Agreement, shall be considered proprietary information of Expedia and all right, title and interest in the Customer Data is owned by Expedia. During the term of this Agreement and thereafter, Supplier will: (i) use such Customer Data only as necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement; (ii) maintain and protect such Customer Data in confidence, with reasonable security precautions at least as great as the precautions it takes to protect its own confidential information of similar importance; and (iii) not market to Customers identified in the Customer Data or otherwise use or permit the Customer Data to be used, sold, licensed, leased, transferred, or distributed, in any form or by any means, without the prior written consent of Expedia. All such Customer databases are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Expedia. The terms of this section shall not prevent Supplier from independently collecting information from a Customer provided that Supplier will not, directly or indirectly, engage in any solicited or unsolicited marketing, promotion or similar communications with any Customer unless Supplier has received consent directly from such Customer.
(b) Expedia Materials. Supplier is not authorized to scrape or otherwise extract information, data or other materials from the Service including Expedia’s or its affiliates’ websites (collectively the “Expedia Materials”). Supplier is not authorized to use in any manner the Expedia Materials including, without limitation, publicly displaying any Expedia Materials on Supplier's websites (other than Content (as defined below) as supplied by Supplier to Expedia).
(c) Access to Information.During the Term, Supplier will have access to information provided or generated Supplier and information relating to the Products collected or generated by Expedia to the extent that this information is generally available in the Expedia Local Expert self-service online tool. The Expedia Local Expert self-service online tool’s privacy policy will apply to Expedia’s storage and use of this information.
(d) Survival.This section will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.


7. Payment Terms.
(a) Once per month, Expedia will remit to Supplier a statement of the previous months redeemed Products along with the applicable Net Rate or Retail Rate less the Margin for such redeemed Products. All payments from Expedia to Supplier pursuant to this section shall be considered final unless disputed by Supplier in good faith and pursuant to a written notice received by Expedia within 60 days of Supplier’s receipt of the disputed payment. For Products booked through Desks please refer to Section 16 for the payment process.
(b) Supplier will not be entitled to payment for cancellations if Supplier was notified of such cancellation in compliance with the cancellation policy for each Product, if applicable, and provided to Expedia in accordance with this Agreement.


8. Rate and Availability Changes.
(a) Subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2, Supplier may change its Retail Rate for any Products under this Agreement using the Expedia Local Expert self-service online tool, provided however that Expedia may in its sole discretion discontinue booking such Product(s). The Retail Rate for such Products will remain in effect until Supplier updates such Retail Rates directly using the Expedia Local Expert self-service online tool. If Supplier has entered an expiration date for a Retail Rate in the Expedia Local Expert self-service online tool and fails to update such Retail Rate then the Retail Rate entered by the Supplier shall automatically extend after such expiration date. Supplier shall provide Net Rates to Expedia in the manner instructed by Expedia. Supplier may change a Net Rate for any Product by providing written notice (which may be sent by email) to Expedia at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such Net Rate change, provided however that Expedia may in its sole discretion discontinue booking such Product(s). For Products booked through Desks please refer to Section 16 for the Rate change process.
(b) Supplier will communicate all supply limitations to Expedia in the form and manner as requested by Expedia. It is Supplier’s sole responsibility to inform Expedia when Products will no longer be available for booking by Expedia at least 48 hours prior to the stop sell date. Supplier shall honor all Vouchers issued by Expedia within 48 hours of receiving notice that a Product is no longer available.
(c) Supplier acknowledges that Expedia has no knowledge of (i) Customers’ actual use of the Products, (ii) any cancellation notice that may be given by Customers to Supplier, or whether any such cancellation notice is sufficient under Supplier’s policies or the terms of this Agreement to relieve Customers of the charges otherwise due, or (iii) any price adjustment negotiated between Supplier and Customers. Accordingly, Expedia may rely upon, and accept as accurate for Supplier’s Products: (x) the pricing information provided by Supplier as may be updated per this section; and (y) the reservation information contained in Expedia’s booking database.


9. Taxes.
(a) Each Party shall be liable for calculating and remitting its own taxes imposed on property, payroll, income, or net worth.

Supplier shall promptly notify Expedia of any change in circumstances that impacts the validity of the information previously provided and provide updated tax documentation. Supplier shall provide Expedia with an updated version of IRS Form W-9, W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto) every three years. If Supplier fails to provide tax documentation, then Expedia shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment due to Supplier under this Agreement such amounts as Expedia is required to deduct and withhold under applicable law.
