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.

Such advertisement shall be reviewed by Travelzoo and must be approved in writing by Travelzoo before it can be served by Third Party Ad Server. In accordance with Section 10, Travelzoo reserves the right to reject any advertisement or any element thereof.
(2)       The Advertiser shall post all scheduling changes, new target URLs, new HTML specifications, new graphics and all other new or revised advertisements (“Revisions”) to a staging area and shall notify Travelzoo of such postings at least four (4) days prior to the date Advertiser wishes such Revisions to take effect. Revisions shall not be implemented until approved by Travelzoo in writing, which approval shall be in accordance with Travelzoo’s policies generally applied to its advertisers.
(3)       If Advertiser discovers that Advertiser or Third Party Server has served, or caused to be served, an advertisement to a Travelzoo property in violation of this Agreement, Advertiser must immediately provide notice to Travelzoo of the violation (along with a written explanation) and remove the advertisement from its placement or rotation to the Travelzoo properties. Nothing in this Section shall limit any of Travelzoo’s rights or remedies in the event of such breach.
(4)     In the event Travelzoo exercises its right to cancel an advertisement in accordance with Section 10 hereof, Travelzoo shall notify Advertiser in writing. The Advertiser must cause the advertisement to be removed from the Travelzoo properties and from its advertising rotation no later than two (2) business days after written notification by Travelzoo.


16.  

Domestic Traffic. Travlezoo acknowledges that Advertiser may sell travel services to customers located in the United States of America only. Travelzoo will use commercially reasonable efforts to display advertisements on web pages directed at U.S. customers, and will in no event display advertisements on web pages directed primarily at non-U.S. residents. In the event that an audit determines that during the audited period the number of click-throughs from users originating from outside the U.S. (as indicated by a non-U.S. domain or ISP, or other indicia showing non-U.S. origin) (the “Non-U.S. Click-Throughs”) are 5% or more of the total number of click-throughs during the audited period (the “Total Click-Throughs”), then Travelzoo shall promptly refund to Advertiser any amounts paid by Advertiser associated with the number of Non-U.S. Click-Throughs in excess of 5% of the Total Click-Throughs. [By way of illustration, in the event that the number of Non-U.S. Click-Throughs is 6.5% of the Total Click-Throughs, then the amount refunded by Travelzoo shall be the amount paid by Advertiser associated with 1.5% of the Total Click-Throughs.]
