2. Order of Precedence

In the event of any conflict between a provision contained in these Terms of Use and a provision contained in any Order Form, the provisions in the Order Form shall control (provided, however, that the fact that a provision appears in an Order Form but not these Terms of Use, or in these Terms of Use but not the applicable Order Form, shall not be deemed to be a conflict for purposes of this sentence).

3. Price and Payment

3.1 You agree to pay all fees and other charges in accordance with the Agreement. All fees are due net thirty (30) days from invoice date or as otherwise set forth in the Order Form. If you do not pay the fees or other charges when they are due, then a daily finance charge at a per annum rate of two percent (2%) above the base lending rate of the Reserve Bank of Australia for the period beginning on the date on which payment was due and ending on the date on which payment is made. Payment shall be by check unless otherwise specified on your Order Form. Except where prohibited by applicable laws, if Supplier pays any fees due hereunder via credit or debit card, then Cvent reserves the right to charge Supplier a surcharge of three percent (3%) of the total amount due hereunder, and Supplier hereby consents to such charge being made against the credit or debit card provided by Supplier.

3.2 Supplier may reasonably and in good faith dispute an invoiced amount, that incorrectly lists Services, fees, metrics, excluding overages, other than those listed on the applicable Order Form, within thirty (30) days after receipt, provided that Supplier will promptly pay the undisputed portion of the invoice and will only withhold payment of the disputed portion until the dispute is resolved. The parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve any payment dispute within ninety (90) days.

3.3 If you exceed the contracted level of Services during the Term set forth in the Order Form, You will be charged as specified in your Order Form, or if not specified, using the then-current rates for the overage. You are responsible for all taxes, charges or duties including, without limitation, sales, use, value added, royalty or withholding taxes imposed by a federal, state, provincial, local or other government entity on Services provided under this Agreement, excluding taxes based on Cvent's net income.

3.4    If Customer requests Cvent personnel to travel in conjunction with the Services, then all travel-related expenses, including but not limited to airfare, local transportation, hotel, and daily per diem for Cvent personnel will be charged separately.  Cvent’s charges (in accordance with Cvent’s expense policy) will be invoiced after they are incurred and shall be payable by Customer in accordance herewith.

4. Subscription Right

Subject to these terms and conditions, and any additional terms contained in an Order Form, if any, Cvent will provide You with a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable subscription right, without the right to grant sublicenses, to access and use the Services, as upgraded from time to time.

You and Cvent agree to comply in all material respects with the Data Privacy Policy and Rules, and to provide such help and cooperation as is reasonably necessary or requested to the other to comply with the same. You acknowledge and agree that if You send or otherwise provide information (including but not limited to RFP data) to others using the Services, the recipients of such information may copy or redistribute such information, for instance by using standard interfaces to transfer data into external systems, by exporting data electronically into files or reports, by printing or other means. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer is responsible for obtaining any legally required consents to process personal data, or to process and transfer data in compliance with any other legally permitted conditions for processing personal data. Furthermore, to the extent Cvent processes Customer Personal Data of Data Subjects located in the EEA or Switzerland on behalf of a Customer or a Customer Affiliate, or Customer or Cvent are otherwise subject to EU Data Protection Laws, the Parties will comply with the provisions in the Data Protection Addendum (https://www.cvent.com/dpa).

You shall take reasonable precautions to protect against theft, loss or fraudulent use of such IDs and passwords, and You are solely responsible for any losses arising from another party’s use of such IDs and passwords, either with or without your knowledge. Provided You are then in good standing and subject to Section 10.2, Cvent may provide one or more login IDs and passwords to other employees of Supplier or Supplier’s parent company but who are not employees of the hotel, motel, resort or short-term lodging facility designated on the Order Form and/or employees of a Supplier Affiliate (as defined in Section 9.2) (all of foregoing collectively as, “Above Property Users”).  Such additional logins may be subject to an additional charge by Cvent. .  If You are a hotel, motel, resort, or short term lodging facility owned or managed by an Above Property User, (each, a “Property User”),  You hereby consent to Cvent providing such logins to yours account with Cvent to such Above Property Users.

When funds in Supplier's RFP Showcase account have been depleted such that Supplier cannot respond to a showcased RFP, Supplier must refund its RFP Showcase account with another Account Funding Fee payment. The number of RFP responses exhausted and amount of funds depleted shall be calculated solely based on records maintained by Cvent. No other measurements or statistics of any kind shall be accepted by Cvent or have any effect under this Agreement.

However, any fee or portion of a fee that is due and payable shall be paid, and Cvent will not be obligated to refund to Supplier any fee or portion of a fee associated with any unused portion of the subscription term. In addition, Cvent may immediately and without notice terminate the subscription prior to the expiration of a term for any of the following reasons: (a) Supplier is in default of its payment obligations hereunder; or (b) Supplier or a Permitted User breaches any of the terms of this Agreement, in which case Supplier will pay all fees due to Cvent for the entirety of the subscription term, regardless of the amount of time remaining under the subscription term.
