2. PAYMENT OF FEES. This section applies only if your License Agreement is directly with us. If your License Agreement or sales order is with a foreUP Partner, then the payment terms will be as agreed between you and the applicable foreUP Partner.

2.1 Payments. You agree to pay all Fees described by the Agreement, including all Fees for Services. The License Agreement will set forth your chosen method of payment, invoice frequency and other payment terms. Unless otherwise noted in the License Agreement, all invoices will be due within 30 days from the invoice date. By default, upon the commencement of Services, you will be prompted to enter payment information via a secure automated electronic payment system. Upon entering your payment information (either ACH or credit card), the system will automatically generate invoices in accordance with the payment frequency referenced in the License Agreement. If you opt-out from using the automated electronic payment system in favor of submitting manual paper checks, then you will be required to pay for the next full year (a 12-month period) in advance. These payment methods and the process described herein will supersede any verbal statements to the contrary. We reserve the right to charge you interest at a monthly rate equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law on any overdue Fees from the due date until the date the overdue amount (plus applicable interest) is paid in full. In addition, we reserve the right to charge you a $100 late fee if payment is not made within 30 days from invoice receipt. Except as permitted by the Agreement, all Fees paid are non-refundable. Fees paid are based on Services provided and not actual usage. Any Fees that remain unpaid as of the date of termination or expiration of the Agreement will become immediately due and payable.
2.2 Inventory Exchange Option (As Applicable). If “the Inventory Exchange option (“Inventory Exchange Option”) is selected as a method of payment, then (in lieu of ACH or credit card payment for Services), you expressly authorize us to collect Fees for Services directly from players who prepay at the time of booking and check out. The Inventory Exchange Option will be based on our right to collect all fees related to the applicable number of player bookings per day (including, without limitation, greens fees, cart fees and related player bookings fees) up to the total number of agreed upon players per day as set forth in the License Agreement (collectively, “Inventory Exchange Fees”). We reserve the right to manage and account for Inventory Exchange Fees in our sole discretion, including, without limitation, permitting player slots to be filled (including cart fees) and/or discounting the greens fees associated with player slots. Our right to receive Inventory Exchange Fees will apply at each of the Approved Locations commencing on the Billing Start Date. Our right to receive Inventory Exchange Fees will apply to the first player or players to accept the prepaid booking option. You will be required to activate the online bookings portal for tee times, either on the Site or through your own website (as applicable), within 30 days from the Effective Date of the Agreement or on the Approved Location’s opening date, whichever happens first. If you fail to make the online bookings portal for tee times available within 30 days from the Effective Date or disable online bookings at any time during the Term of the Agreement, then you will be required to pay an additional $1,000 each month until such time as the online bookings portal has been launched at the Approved Locations or the online bookings feature has been re-enabled.
2.3 Failure to Pay. If you fail to pay any amount due under the Agreement (and you have not disputed the invoice as described in Section 2.4 below), then we will send you a notice reminding you that payment remains outstanding. If you fail to pay within 15 days following the date of this reminder notice, then we reserve the right to suspend or restrict your access to the Site or use of Services until payment is made in full. If your failure to pay Fees continues for more than 30 days following your receipt of the reminder notice, then we shall have the right to declare you in default of the Agreement.
2.4 Payment Disputes. If you believe, in good faith, that we have incorrectly billed you for Services, then you must contact us in writing within 30 days of the invoice date with sufficient detail for us to identify the alleged error and be able to properly investigate it. Unless you notify us of a payment dispute, you will be responsible for paying our reasonable collection costs (including our reasonable attorneys’ fees, as applicable). You will be required to pay the undisputed portion of any invoice when due.
2.5 Fee Increases. We reserve the right to increase Fees for Services no more than once annually beginning 12 months from the Effective Date and continuing on the same anniversary date each year thereafter. We will cap any fee increase year over year at 4.0% or the increase in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U), whichever is greater, and will provide you with a 60-day notice prior to any such increase taking effect.
2.6 Taxes. The Fees described in the Proposal/Pricing section of the License Agreement are exclusive of all taxes, including national, state or provincial and local use, sales, value-added, property or similar taxes, if any. You agree to pay all such taxes (excluding U.S. taxes based on our net income). If you believe you are not subject to the payment of taxes, you must provide us with a tax-exemption certificate prior to entering into a License Agreement. If we are providing you with Payment Services, we will be obligated to comply with valid tax liens or levies associated with your account. If we are required to pay any taxes on your behalf, then you agree to reimburse us for such amounts within 30 days from your receipt of a special tax-related invoice.
2.7 CPI Increase. At the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, upon at least 30 days’ prior notice, Clubessential may increase fees by the greater of: (i) five percent (5.0%), or (ii) the maximum annual increase during the term in the Consumer Price Index, specifically the index for All Urban Consumers (or CPI-U), as reported in the annual inflation rate table on this site: https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/ (“CPI”).

3. SERVICES

3.1 Delivery of Services. If we are building a Site on your behalf, then Site delivery occurs when you accept final Site design and the Site goes live. All other Services will be considered delivered within three (3) business days following the Effective Date unless a later delivery date is specified in the License Agreement.

These licensed rights do not constitute a sale and do not convey to you or any third party any right of ownership in or to the Site (as applicable), Services, foreUP Technology, or any of the Intellectual Property Rights therein. All rights not specifically granted under the Agreement are expressly reserved to us.
3.3 License Restrictions. Except to the extent expressly permitted by the Agreement, you agree, as a condition of the license grant, that you are restricted from and must not:
(a) use the Site (as applicable) or Services (i) in violation of applicable law or regulation (including, where applicable, the ADA, COPPA, CAN-SPAM, TCPA, or the Do-Not-Call Implementation Act), or in connection with such unlawful material (such as material that violates any obscenity, defamation, harassment, privacy, publicity or intellectual property laws); or (ii) in a manner that would cause a material risk to the security or operation of the Site, Services or foreUP Technology, or to any of our other customers;
(b) copy, distribute, republish, download, display, sell, rent, lease, host or sub-license the Site (as applicable) or Services;

We reserve the right to immediately suspend or discontinue your access to the Site (as applicable) or use of the Services if we have reason to believe you are, or may be, acting in violation of these license restrictions.
3.4 Site Design & Build (As Applicable). The following terms and conditions apply if we are designing and building a Site on your behalf:
(a) You do not own the Site. You own the URL/domain name and the Client Content loaded or imported to the Site, but we own the Site itself (including the Site’s design). You and your Authorized Users and End Users have rights to access the Site subject to the terms of the Agreement.

(g) You are also responsible for securing an SSL certificate as associated with the Site through an approved provider. The SSL certificate must remain valid and in good standing while the Site is active.
(h) Although foreUP will design, build and maintain the Site, you acknowledge that we are not a full-service website design or remediation shop. While we will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet then-current WCAG 2.0 AA standards for website accessibility by those with disabilities, we cannot and do not guarantee Site compliance with all federal or state laws and disclaim all liability related thereto. You may consult with an independent website design shop at your cost if you believe additional website accessibility changes may be needed to the Site.
3.5 Payment Services. If we are providing you with Payment Services, then you will be required to enter into a separate Merchant Agreement with us. All foreUP clients receiving Payment Services are required to undergo risk underwriting and be approved for receipt of Payment Services. By entering into the Agreement and receiving Payment Services, you expressly authorize us to run credit checks and complete risk underwriting through our normal procedures on your account.
3.6 Beta Services. We may, from time to time, offer services identified as beta, pilot, developer preview, evaluation or by a similar description (“Beta Services”). You are not required to use Beta Services; it will always be your choice. Beta Services are provided only for non-production, evaluation purposes. We may discontinue Beta Services at any time in our sole discretion and may never make Beta Services generally available.
3.7 Third-Party Services. We may, from time to time, make available certain features or functionalities that allow you to integrate the Site (as applicable) or Services in conjunction with products or services provided by third parties (collectively, “Third Party Services”). You are solely responsible for complying with any applicable terms and conditions for Third-Party Services. Any terms for Third-Party Services will be considered separate from the Agreement.

4. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES. Unless expressly provided otherwise in the License Agreement or a separate Statement of Work:
4.1 License to Deliverables. Without limiting or modifying any license granted to you for the Site (as applicable) or Services, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-transferrable license to use the materials developed and provided in our performance of Professional Services (“Deliverables”) solely in connection with your access to the Site and use of Services at the Approved Locations during the Term. We retain all rights, title and interest (including Intellectual Property Rights) in and to the Deliverables.

5. MODIFICATION

5.1 Changes to these Terms of Service. We shall have the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time to reflect changes in our policies, industry requirements or applicable law. We may post Minor Changes to www.foreupgolf.com without notifying you in advance. A “Minor Change” is any modification to the Terms of Service that does not reduce your legal rights under the Agreement. We will notify you at least 10 days in advance of any Material Change to the Terms of Service by emailing you at the contact address associated with your account. A “Material Change” is any modification in the Terms of Service that reduces your legal rights under the Agreement. If you object to a Material Change within 10 days of notification, then the Material Change will not apply to you and you will continue to be subject to the previous, unmodified version of the Terms of Service; provided, however, that the Material Change will automatically take effect at the start of your Renewal Term without further notice. The most current version of the Terms of Service can always be accessed at www.foreupgolf.com.
5.2 Changes to the Proposal/Pricing Section of the License Agreement. You can add or remove Services during the Term provided that we agree to such changes in writing. Our practice will be to document any changes to Services in an updated invoice which we will send to you for review. If you disagree with the addition or removal of Services (and any associated fees) as reflected in the updated invoice, please notify us immediately. If you pay the updated invoice, accept the benefits of added Services, or fail to object to the updated invoice within 14 days after you receive it, then you will be considered to have accepted the changes, which will be considered a valid modification of the then-current License Agreement in place.
5.3 Changes Required by Law. We reserve the right to make immediate changes to our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy, with or without advance notice to you, where such changes are required by applicable law.
5.4 Other Changes to the Agreement. Except as otherwise stated herein, no modification of the Agreement will be binding unless in writing and manually signed by an authorized representative of the parties.

(c) By foreUP. In addition to the termination rights described above in Section 6.2(a), we may terminate the Agreement for cause and without penalty if, after the Effective Date, we discover that providing the Site (as applicable) or Services, or some part thereof, is prohibited by law or has become impractical or unfeasible due to a legal or regulatory reason.
6.3 Suspension Rights. In addition to any of our other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, our termination rights), we reserve the right to suspend your access to the Site (as applicable) or use of Services: (a) if you fail to pay Fees; (b) if you are, or if we have reason to believe, you are violating the License Restrictions described in Section 3.3 above; (c) if you are in material breach of the Agreement; (d) if we deem the suspension necessary to protect the availability, integrity, resilience or security of the Site, the Services or our foreUP Technology; or (e) as required by law or by judicial authority.

Unless we have mutually agreed on an alternate timetable, upon expiration or termination of the Agreement for any reason, you will have 30 days to retrieve your Client Data through our standard off-boarding procedures, as may be revised from time and time, and subject to your payment of our then-current off-boarding fees (“Retrieval Period”). We shall have no obligation to return your Client Data unless and until you have paid all Fees owed.

6.7 Liquidated Damages. Upon the occurrence of an event of default by you, we may at any time thereafter terminate this Agreement by giving you written notice thereof. If, prior to the date on which the then current term of this Agreement is scheduled to expire, either this Agreement is terminated by us as specifically permitted by this Agreement, or you for any reason discontinue receiving the services from us (except as may be specifically permitted by this Agreement), you shall be liable to us for liquidated damages in an amount equal to the average monthly amounts payable to us as a result of the Agreement for the three calendar months in which such amount was the highest during the preceding 12 calendar months multiplied by the number of months remaining during the then current term of this Agreement. You recognize and agree that the liquidated damages are fair and reasonable because it is not possible to establish the actual increase in volume and activity during the term of this Agreement.

Neither party may assign this Agreement without the advance written consent of the other party, except that either party may assign this Agreement in its entirety in connection with a merger, reorganization, acquisition, or other transfer of all or substantially all of such party’s assets or voting securities to such party’s successor. We may assign this Agreement in its entirety to any of our Affiliates. Any attempt to transfer or assign this Agreement except as expressly authorized under this section will be null and void.
15.3 Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of this Agreement to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in effect.
