HOTEL USER AGREEMENT

THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBES THE TERMS ON WHICH LEXYL TRAVEL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC OFFERS YOU ACCESS TO
OUR SERVICES.
Welcome to the user agreement (the "Agreement" or "User Agreement") for Lexyl Travel Technologies, LLC. This Agreement
describes the terms and conditions applicable to your use of our services available under the domain and sub-domains of
HotelPlanner.com. If you do not agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, do not use or access our
services.
You must read, agree with and accept all of the terms and conditions contained in this User Agreement and the Privacy Policy,
which include those terms and conditions expressly set out below and those incorporated by reference, before you may become
a member of HotelPlanner.com.
The Company may amend this Agreement at any time by posting the amended terms on the Site. Except as stated below, all
amended terms shall automatically be effective 30 days after they are initially posted on the Site. This Agreement may not be
otherwise amended except in a writing signed by you and HotelPlanner.com. This Agreement is effective upon acceptance in
registration for new registering users.
1. Membership Eligibility.
Our services are available only to, and may only be used by individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable
law. Without limiting the foregoing, our services are not available to children (persons under the age of 21) or to temporarily or
indefinitely suspended HotelPlanner.com members. If you are under the age of 21, you cannot use this service. Persons under
the age of 21 may not use this service to make reservations at any property in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. If you do not
qualify, please do not use our Site. Further, your HotelPlanner.com account (including feedback) and User ID may not be
transferred or sold to another party. If you are registering as a business entity, (i.e. Travel Agency, Wholesaler, Group
Coordinator, Hotel, or other Travel Services Vendor.) you represent that you have the authority to bind the entity to this
Agreement. Business entities using this service to receive rate quotes without ever contacting a vendor online are subject to
account suspension or termination. If you are responding on behalf of a hotel, you must be a full time employee or owner of the
hotel that has authorized access to the hotel's reservations system.
2. Fees and Services.
Joining and listing groups at HotelPlanner.com is free for individuals, travel agents, group coordinators, and wholesalers. The
Hotel and/or Travel Services Vendor is responsible for paying 10% commissions to HotelPlanner.com for actualized business
referred from the basic free bidding. The hotel is responsible for tracking reservations on all groups. If hotel fails to track
actualized rooms due to incomplete records, lost or stolen records, or technical failure, then the hotel must pay 10% commission
on all requested rooms as found in the online client request for proposal.
HotelPlanner.com will pay a 10% commission on hotel room revenue produced to all Travel Agents for group bookings processed
through HotelPlanner.com minus our third party transaction fee of 5% of hotel room revenue produced. In the case an affiliate of
Lexyl Travel Technologies, LLC is credited for the group booking, the Travel Agent commission may be reduced in order to
compensate the affiliate. This third party transaction fee will include all hotel rate and information procurement, as well as
database and website maintenance, in addition to commission collections performed by HotelPlanner.com. Travel agents must
mail in hotel receipts per the cash back terms found on their hotel bid in order to claim commissions. The hotel is only responsible
for paying 10% commission as stated above on actualized room revenue produced. If the hotel fails to pay the commission,
HotelPlanner.com cannot be held liable for the unpaid commission. Travel Agent bookings are not eligible for any other rebates
or cash back promotions through the HotelPlanner.com system.
3. HotelPlanner.com is a Venue.
HotelPlanner.com is not an Auctioneer. The Site acts as a venue to allow the Hotel and/or Travel Services Vendor to sell rooms
and/or services at any posted rate. The Company is not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. As a
result, The Company has no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings,
the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to pay for items. The Company cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will
actually complete a transaction.
Identity Verification. The company uses many techniques to verify the accuracy of the information our users provide us when they
register on the Site. However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, HotelPlanner.com cannot and does not confirm
each user's purported identity. We encourage you to communicate directly with the hotel or travel agency using the tools available
on this site.
Release. Because The Company is a venue, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you release
HotelPlanner.com (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and
damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and
undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil
Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his
favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
Information Control. The Company does not control the information provided by other users that is made available through our
system. You may find other user's information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. Please use caution, common
sense, and practice safe trading when using the Site. Please note that there are also risks of dealing with underage persons or
people acting under false pretense. Additionally, there may also be risks dealing with international trade and foreign nationals. By
using this Site, you agree to accept such risks and HotelPlanner.com is not responsible for the acts or omissions of users on the
Site.
4. Bidding.
4. Bidding.
As a Hotel or Travel Services Vendor, you are obligated to complete the transaction with the Group Coordinator, Travel Agent,
Wholesalers and/or the Booking Party that they represent:
By bidding on a group booking you agree to be bound by the conditions of sale included in the group's description so long as
those conditions of sale are not in violation of this Agreement or unlawful. Bids are not retractable except in exceptional
circumstances, such as: when the Group Coordinator, Travel Agent, Wholesaler and/or Booking Party materially changes the
group's description after you bid; a clear typographical error is made; you cannot authenticate the Hotel, Travel Vendor, Travel
Agent, Wholesaler, Group Coordinators and/or Booking Parties identity. The hotel is responsible for tracking reservations on all
groups. If hotel fails to track actualized rooms due to incomplete records, lost or stolen records, or technical failure, then the hotel
must pay 10% commission on all requested rooms as found in the online client request for proposal.
Predatory sales techniques are strictly prohibited. Predatory sales techniques include, but are not limited to offering special
promotions, discounts, or directions for clients in an effort to incentivize them to work outside the system.
HotelPlanner.com should always receive the hotel's lowest group rates. Periodically HotelPlanner.com will conduct group hotel
rate audits on behalf of their group coordinators. If a contracted group rate has become uncompetitive for any reason, the hotel
must adjust the contracted group rate to be inline with other discounted group and transient rate promotions over the group's
contracted dates at the group's contracted hotel.
5. Listing.
Listing Description. When posting a group booking for bidding you must be legally able to represent the booking party you list on
the Site. An IATA Card is significant identification that you are a qualified listing agent, or a signed agreement from the booking
party. You must describe your group and all terms of sale on the group registration page of the Site. Your listings may only
include text descriptions and other content relevant to the needs of the group.
Fraud. Without limiting any other remedies, HotelPlanner.com may suspend or terminate your account if The Company suspects
that you (by conviction, settlement, insurance or escrow investigation, or otherwise) have engaged in fraudulent activity in
connection with the Site.
Manipulation. Neither Travel Agents, Group Coordinators, Individuals, Wholesalers, Travel Services Vendors nor Hotels may
manipulate the price of any item nor may you interfere with other user's listings or transactions.
