Acai Terms of Service
Last updated:
Not part of the agreement
If your organization has a separately signed agreement with Acai, that agreement governs as described in Section 1.5 below.
These Acai Terms of Service (this "Agreement") are entered into between Acai Travel Inc., a Delaware corporation with a registered address at 2248 Broadway #1554, New York, NY 10024 USA ("Acai"), and the company or other legal entity identified on the applicable Order (the "Customer"). Acai and the Customer are each referred to herein as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties".
BY CLICKING A BOX OR BUTTON INDICATING ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, COMPLETING A CHECKOUT OR PAYMENT PAGE THAT REFERENCES THIS AGREEMENT, OR ACCESSING OR USING ANY ACAI PRODUCT, THE CUSTOMER AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT. THE INDIVIDUAL ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT THEY HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND THE CUSTOMER TO THIS AGREEMENT. IF THE INDIVIDUAL DOES NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR THE CUSTOMER DOES NOT AGREE WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE INDIVIDUAL MUST NOT ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND MUST NOT USE THE ACAI PRODUCTS.
1. Acceptance and Orders
1.1 Acceptance; Effective Date. This Agreement is effective as of the date the Customer first accepts it in the manner described above (the "Effective Date").
1.2 Business Use Only. The Acai Products are intended solely for use by businesses in the travel industry. The Customer represents that it is entering into this Agreement for business purposes and not as a consumer, and that its use of the Acai Products will be in connection with the Customer's Business.
1.3 Orders. An "Order" means each quote, order page, or checkout page made available by Acai (including through Acai's third-party payment processor) and accepted by the Customer, which identifies the Acai Products subscribed to, the applicable Fees, the billing frequency, the Subscription Period, and any discounts or other commercial details. Each Order is governed by, and incorporated into, this Agreement upon the Customer's acceptance of that Order. The Customer may enter into additional Orders during the Term, including Orders for Add-Ons, and each such Order shall be governed by this Agreement without any further signature or other formality.
1.4 Order of Precedence. In the event of an inconsistency between this Agreement and an Order, this Agreement shall prevail, except that the Order shall control as to the identity of the Acai Products, Fees, billing frequency, discounts, Subscription Period, Minimum Term, Baseline Scope description and any other commercial term that this Agreement expressly permits an Order to vary, in each case as expressly stated in that Order. Any terms or conditions contained in any purchase order or other document submitted by the Customer are void and of no effect, regardless of any failure by Acai to object to such terms.
1.5 Separately Signed Agreements. This Agreement governs only the Acai Products purchased through an Order as described in Section 1.3 and any document deemed an Order under this Section 1.5. If the Customer and Acai have entered into, or later enter into, a separately negotiated master or framework agreement signed by both Parties that contains its own general terms and conditions and expressly governs particular Acai Products or a particular order (such as a master services agreement or product license agreement, together with its statements of work), then that signed agreement, and not this Agreement, governs those Acai Products or that order, and this Agreement continues to govern any Order that such signed agreement does not expressly cover. However, a statement of work, order form, quote or similar ordering document issued or countersigned by Acai and signed by or agreed with the Customer that does not contain its own general terms and conditions (including any such document that references a master or license agreement that the Parties have not executed) shall be deemed an "Order" governed by this Agreement, and in the event of a conflict between such ordering document and this Agreement, the ordering document shall prevail with respect to the matters that Section 1.4 permits an Order to control, and this Agreement shall govern all other matters.

3. License of Acai Products
3.1 License to Use and Access the Acai Products. Subject to and conditioned on the Customer's payment of the Fees and compliance with this Agreement, Acai grants the Customer during the Term a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as permitted under Section 19.2) license to access and use the Acai Products and Documentation solely for the Customer's Business within the Baseline Scope and solely by the Customer's employees and Contractors. The Customer may permit its Clients to access and use the Acai End-User Products as End-Users during the Term, solely in connection with the Customer's Business and subject to this Agreement. The Customer is responsible for all acts and omissions of its Clients and End-Users in connection with the Acai Products as if they were the Customer's own. This license does not otherwise permit sublicensing.
3.2 License Use Restrictions. This license does not permit use by or sublicense to any of the Customer's Affiliates. In addition to the Customer's obligations set out in Section 6, use of the Acai Products is strictly limited to the Customer's employees and Contractors and, as to the Acai End-User Products, End-Users, and is not to be extended to any third parties without express written consent from Acai.
3.3 Provisioning; Access. Acai will provision the Customer's access to the Acai Products promptly following acceptance of the applicable Order, except that where the Order is paid by card or other automatic payment method, or where Acai has notified the Customer that payment in advance is required, Acai will provision access promptly following receipt of the initial payment. Fees accrue from the Subscription Start Date and the start of each subsequent Subscription Period, irrespective of the extent of the Customer's actual use of the Acai Products.
3.4 Brand Image. All Acai Products must feature the Acai logo and the phrase "powered by Acai Travel Inc." or equivalent branding elements. Should the Customer desire to include its own branding on the Acai Product interfaces or communication materials such as email notifications, Acai is open to considering such additions. However, Acai retains the right to approve, and to require changes to, the Customer's branding within the Acai Products to ensure consistency and harmony with the Acai brand aesthetic.
3.5 Add-Ons and New Paid Features. Acai may from time to time offer Add-Ons or introduce new features to the Acai Products for which additional charges or fees apply. Such Add-Ons and new paid features will only be added to the Customer's subscription with the Customer's consent, which may be given by accepting an Order (including through Acai's checkout page) that identifies the applicable Add-On or feature and its fees. Access will be granted once the Customer has accepted the applicable Order.
3.6 Acai Product Updates. Acai may make routine updates to the Acai Products and changes to the Services at its sole discretion. For significant modifications, Acai will provide thirty (30) days' prior written notice. Acai will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that updates do not materially degrade the core functionality of the Acai Products during a Subscription Period. By using any updates, the Customer accepts the associated terms and conditions and any Fees agreed in an Order. The Customer agrees that Acai has no obligation to develop any updates at all.
3.7 Customer-Specific Features. Should the Customer desire to customize the Acai Products with specific features, alterations, or modifications, Acai is open to discussing such requests, and reserves the right to consider entering into a separate written agreement or Order with the Customer to address such customization needs, at Acai's sole discretion.
3.8 Feedback. If the Customer, a Client, End-Users or any of their employees or contractors sends or transmits any communications or materials to Acai by mail, email, telephone, or otherwise, suggesting or recommending changes to the Acai Products, including without limitation, new features or functionality relating thereto, or any comments, questions, suggestions, or the like ("Feedback"), Acai is free to use such Feedback irrespective of any other obligation or limitation between the Parties governing such Feedback. The Customer hereby assigns to Acai all of its right, title and interest in and to the Feedback, including any ideas, know-how, concepts, techniques or other intellectual property rights contained in it. To the extent such assignment is ineffective, the Customer grants Acai a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully sublicensable license to use and exploit the Feedback for any purpose, without attribution or compensation to any party. The Customer shall procure that Feedback submitted by its Clients and End-Users is licensed to Acai on the same terms. Acai is not obliged to use any Feedback.
3.9 Expanded Scope. The license does not extend to any Expanded Scope. Servicing an Expanded Scope through the Acai Products requires Acai's prior written consent and a new Order setting out the applicable Fees. Fees that are not measured per agent, user or seat (including any "unlimited" plan) apply only to the Baseline Scope. If any Expanded Scope is serviced through the Acai Products without such an Order, Fees for it accrue at Acai's then-current list rates from the date it was first so serviced, without prejudice to Acai's rights under Section 12 and Section 17.3.
3.10 No Consolidation. If the Customer is or becomes an Affiliate of another customer of Acai, each agreement governs only its own scope, and no users, agents, accounts or volumes may be migrated between them without Acai's prior written consent and an agreed adjustment to the Fees.
4. Term, Renewal and Cancellation
4.1 Term. This Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues for as long as any Subscription Period is in effect or any one-time Order under Section 4.8 remains to be performed, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement (the "Term").
4.2 Subscription Periods. Each Order will specify the Customer's subscription and billing period for the applicable Acai Products (for example, quarterly or annual) (each, a "Subscription Period"). The initial Subscription Period begins on the Subscription Start Date. Any discount applicable to a billing frequency (for example, a discount for annual billing) applies only for so long as the Customer remains on that billing frequency and is otherwise as stated in the Order.
4.3 Automatic Renewal. Each subscription automatically renews at the end of the then-current Subscription Period for successive Subscription Periods of the same length, unless either Party gives notice of non-renewal, or the Customer cancels the subscription through the account or billing management functionality made available by Acai or by written notice to Acai, in each case at least thirty (30) days before the end of the then-current Subscription Period or, for Subscription Periods of one month, at any time before the end of that Subscription Period, or within such shorter notice period as the Order states. Non-renewal or cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current Subscription Period, and the Customer retains access to the Acai Products until that date. Where the Order states a Minimum Term, notice of non-renewal or cancellation given during the Minimum Term instead takes effect at the end of the Minimum Term rather than at the end of the then-current Subscription Period, the Customer retains access to the Acai Products until that date, and the Fees for the remainder of the Minimum Term remain payable. Where the Customer requires the subscription to end before the Minimum Term expires, Section 4.7 applies.
4.4 Fee Adjustments. Acai reserves the right to revise the Fees effective as of the start of any renewal Subscription Period. Any Fee changes will be communicated to the Customer in writing (including by email) at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current Subscription Period. The updated Fees shall become effective at the start of the next Subscription Period. If the Customer does not agree to the revised Fees, the Customer may cancel by written notice given within thirty (30) days after Acai's notice, notwithstanding the notice period in Section 4.3, with effect from the end of the then-current Subscription Period. Fee changes under this Section 4.4 shall not take effect during a Minimum Term unless required by applicable law or expressly provided for in the Order.
4.5 No Refunds. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or as required by applicable law, all Fees are non-cancellable and non-refundable once paid, including where the Customer cancels or ceases to use the Acai Products before the end of a Subscription Period for which the Customer has paid.
4.6 Minimum Term. An Order may state a Minimum Term: a minimum period for which the subscription is committed, running from the Subscription Start Date for that Order. The Minimum Term is separate from the billing frequency, and neither determines the other — an Order may state a Minimum Term of twelve (12) months while the Fees are billed monthly. Where an Order states no Minimum Term, there is none, and the subscription continues from one Subscription Period to the next in accordance with Section 4.3.
On expiry of the Minimum Term the subscription continues from one Subscription Period to the next in accordance with Section 4.3, with no further Minimum Term, unless the Order states otherwise.
4.7 Termination Without Cause; Fees for the Remainder of a Minimum Term. Either Party may terminate a subscription without cause on at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice, and in Acai's case subject to Section 17.2. Where the Customer terminates a subscription before the end of a Minimum Term stated in the Order, the Fees for the remainder of that Minimum Term shall become due and payable within thirty (30) days following the effective date of termination, as the agreed price for the committed Minimum Term and not as a penalty. Fees already paid remain non-refundable in accordance with Section 4.5. No Fees are payable for the remainder of the Minimum Term where the Customer terminates under Section 17.3 (material breach by Acai) or Section 17.4 (Acai's insolvency).
4.8 One-Time Purchases. An Order may provide for a one-time purchase of Services, Add-Ons or other items with no Subscription Period. Such an Order does not renew, Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.6 and 4.7 do not apply to it, and Section 4.5 applies.
5. Services
5.1 Support. Acai agrees to provide the Customer with standard support services (the "Support Services") according to Acai's then-current support services policy, available at https://www.acaitravel.com/about/support-plans or such other location as Acai may notify the Customer (the "Support Policy"). Acai retains the right to alter the Support Services and the Support Policy at its discretion. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Support Policy or any other policy incorporated by reference (other than the DPA, which is addressed in Section 13.6), this Agreement shall prevail. The Customer may opt for additional, premium support at prevailing rates.
5.2 Training and Onboarding. Any training hours, onboarding or other professional services will be as specified in the applicable Order. The Customer is accountable for training its team in the proper use of the Acai Products and associated systems, ensuring measures are in place to prevent unauthorized usage.
6. Customer's Obligations
6.1 The Customer shall:
- (a) provide all necessary co-operation in relation to this Agreement;

6.2 The Customer shall not, and shall not permit any Client or End-User to:
- (a) except as may be allowed by any applicable law which is incapable of exclusion by agreement between the Parties and except to the extent expressly permitted under this Agreement: (i) attempt to copy, modify, duplicate, create derivative works from, frame, mirror, republish, download, display, transmit, or distribute all or any portion of the Acai Products and/or Documentation (as applicable) in any form or media or by any means; or (ii) attempt to de-compile, reverse compile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise reduce to human-perceivable form all or any part of the Acai Products; or (iii) access all or any part of the Acai Products and Documentation in order to build a product or service which competes with the Acai Products and/or the Documentation; or (iv) subject to Section 3.1, license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, display, disclose, or otherwise commercially exploit, or otherwise make the Acai Products, Documentation and/or Services available to any third party; or (v) except for the End-User in accordance with this Agreement, attempt to obtain, or assist third parties in obtaining, access to the Acai Products, Documentation and/or Services;
- (b) use the Acai Products and/or Documentation for any purposes beyond the scope of the access and license granted in this Agreement;
- (c) at any time, directly or indirectly, use the Acai Products or Documentation in any manner or for any purpose that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any intellectual property right or other right of any person, or that violates any applicable law, regulation, or rule; or use the Acai Products or Documentation for purposes of competitive analysis of the Acai Products, the development of a competing software product or service, or any other purpose that is to Acai's commercial disadvantage; or
- (d) access, store, distribute or transmit any viruses, or any material during the course of its use of the Acai Products and Services that: (i) is unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, infringing, harassing or racially or ethnically offensive; (ii) facilitates illegal activity; (iii) depicts sexually explicit images; (iv) promotes unlawful violence; (v) is discriminatory based on race, gender, color, religious belief, sexual orientation, or disability; or (vi) is otherwise illegal or causes damage or injury to any person or property,
and Acai reserves the right, without liability or prejudice to its other rights against the Customer, to disable the Customer's access to any material that breaches the provisions of this Section.
6.3 Data Usage and Restriction. Acknowledging Acai's significant investment in curating datasets and customizing AI and LLM technologies for the travel industry, the Customer agrees to use Acai Data exclusively for accessing and using the Acai Products and Services in accordance with this Agreement. The Customer is expressly prohibited from using Acai Data or the Acai Products for training or retraining large language models (LLMs), any AI/machine learning development or the development of a competing product or service, or from sharing Acai Data with third parties for such activities. Nothing in this Section restricts the Customer's use of Customer Data, or the use of Output in the ordinary course of the Customer's Business, provided that the Customer shall not use Output to train, fine-tune or develop a large language model or a product or service that competes with the Acai Products. This restriction is to prevent unauthorized replication of Acai's technology and to maintain the proprietary value of its investments. In the event of a breach, Acai reserves the right to seek remedies including but not limited to compensatory damages, injunctive relief, and specific performance, as applicable under law.
6.4 Unauthorized Access. The Customer shall use all reasonable endeavors to prevent any unauthorized access to, or use of, the Acai Products and/or Services and, in the event of any such unauthorized access or use, promptly notify Acai.
7. Customer API Keys and Third-Party AI Providers
7.1 Customer-Procured Inference. The Acai Products rely on Third-Party AI Providers to perform AI inference and related processing. Unless otherwise expressly stated in an Order, the Customer is responsible for procuring and maintaining its own accounts with one or more Third-Party AI Providers supported by the Acai Products, and for configuring the associated Customer API Keys within the Acai Products. The Customer is solely responsible for: (a) all fees, usage and inference costs charged by Third-Party AI Providers in connection with the Customer's use of the Acai Products, which are payable by the Customer directly to the applicable provider and are in addition to the Fees; (b) complying with the terms of service, acceptable use policies and other requirements of each Third-Party AI Provider; and (c) keeping the Customer API Keys valid, funded, secure and current.
7.2 Authorization. The Customer authorizes Acai to use the Customer API Keys on the Customer's behalf solely as necessary to provide the Acai Products and Services to the Customer. Acai will implement reasonable measures designed to protect the confidentiality of the Customer API Keys, and will not use them for any purpose other than providing the Acai Products and Services.
7.3 Provider Failures. The Customer acknowledges that the availability, performance, output, pricing and terms of Third-Party AI Providers are outside Acai's control. Acai shall have no liability for any unavailability, degradation, error, output or cost arising from a Third-Party AI Provider or from the Customer API Keys (including invalid, suspended, rate-limited, underfunded or compromised keys, other than compromise caused by Acai's breach of Section 7.2). If any Customer API Key is invalid, exhausted, suspended or otherwise non-functional, Acai may suspend the affected features of the Acai Products until the issue is remedied, and such suspension shall not relieve the Customer of its obligation to pay the Fees.
7.4 Acai-Managed Accounts. If expressly agreed in an Order, Acai may set up and manage Third-Party AI Provider or other SaaS accounts on the Customer's behalf, in which case Acai will charge the Customer for such third-party services on an actual cost basis.
8. Ownership
8.1 Acai Intellectual Property Rights. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Acai Products and Documentation are provided under license and are not sold to the Customer. The Customer does not acquire any ownership interest in the Acai Products and/or Documentation, or any other rights thereto, other than to use the same in accordance with the license granted and subject to all terms, conditions, and restrictions under this Agreement. Acai reserves and retains its entire right, title, and interest in and to the Acai Products and all Intellectual Property Rights arising out of or relating to the Acai Products. The Customer will promptly notify Acai if the Customer becomes aware of any infringement of Acai's Intellectual Property Rights in the Acai Products and fully cooperate with Acai in any legal action taken by Acai to enforce its Intellectual Property Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, Acai owns Aggregated Statistics, and any information, data, or other content derived from Acai's monitoring of the Customer's access to or use of the Acai Products, and all Intellectual Property Rights therein, but does not own Customer Data.
8.2 Customer Data. Acai acknowledges that, as between the Parties, the Customer owns all right, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Customer Data. The Customer hereby grants to Acai a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, copy, process, transmit, display, modify and otherwise use the Customer Data, including through Acai's Affiliates, subcontractors, hosting providers and Third-Party AI Providers, (a) during the Term and any post-termination retention period under Section 17.5, as necessary to provide, maintain, secure and support the Acai Products and Services, to improve them as permitted by Section 9.1, and otherwise to perform Acai's obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement; and (b) on a perpetual and irrevocable basis, to create, use and disclose Aggregated Statistics in accordance with Section 9.
9. Use of Information
9.1 Use of Information. Acai does not use Customer Data, including any personal data of the Customer, its Clients or End-Users, to train or fine-tune large language models or other AI or machine learning models, except where the Customer requests it under a separate written agreement. Acai owns the Acai Products, all improvements to them, its models and Aggregated Statistics. As between the Parties, Output delivered to the Customer through the Acai Products is Customer Data. Acai may use Customer Data in de-identified and aggregated form to compile Aggregated Statistics and to operate, secure, support and improve the Acai Products and Services in accordance with Section 9.2. This Section constitutes the Customer's documented instruction to Acai for the purposes of the DPA.
9.2 Aggregated Statistics. In addition to Section 9.1 and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Acai may monitor the Customer's and End-Users' use of the Acai Products and Services and collect and compile Aggregated Statistics. As between the Parties, all right, title, and interest in Aggregated Statistics, and all Intellectual Property Rights therein, belong to and are retained solely by Acai. The Customer acknowledges that Acai may compile Aggregated Statistics based on Customer Data input into the Acai Products and Services. The Customer agrees that Acai may (i) make Aggregated Statistics publicly available in compliance with applicable law, and (ii) use Aggregated Statistics to the extent and in the manner permitted under applicable law.
10. Travel Suppliers and Third-Party Providers
10.1 Third-Party Services. The Acai Products will be hosted on a third-party cloud service of Acai's own choice. The Acai Products are integrated with a number of third-party software services, including, but not limited to, Third-Party AI Providers and email and SMS providers. Except for services covered by the Customer API Keys under Section 7 (which the Customer pays for directly), where Acai procures third-party services on the Customer's behalf pursuant to an Order, Acai will charge the Customer for such third-party services on an actual cost basis.
10.2 Connection with Travel Suppliers. The Acai Products are integrated with a number of Travel Suppliers. The Customer shall provide Acai with the necessary credentials for those Travel Suppliers that the Customer wishes to connect with the Acai Products, in order to allow Acai to create, modify or cancel booking records under the Customer's accounts registered with the respective Travel Supplier. However, the Customer acknowledges that the Acai Products may or may not be able to connect with certain Travel Suppliers that the Customer has requested. The Customer represents and warrants that it is authorized under its agreements with each Travel Supplier to grant Acai such access and to have Acai perform such transactions on its behalf, and that doing so will not breach those agreements. The Customer is responsible for all fees, charges, debit memos, penalties and claims of Travel Suppliers arising from transactions performed through the Acai Products under the Customer's accounts, except to the extent caused by Acai's breach of this Agreement.
10.3 Third-Party Booking Tools. Acai, not being a travel agency, does not provide, set, or control the pricing for any travel services such as flights or hotels found or booked by End-Users through the Acai End-User Products. All such services and related booking tools, including airlines, hotels, tour operators, GDSs, and fare aggregators, are governed by the terms and conditions of the respective third parties.
10.4 No Representations or Warranties. The Customer acknowledges that the Acai Products and Services may enable or assist the Customer or the End-User to access the website content of, correspond with, and purchase products and services from, third parties or Travel Suppliers via third-party or Travel Suppliers' websites, and that the Customer does so solely at its own risk. Acai makes no representation or commitment and shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever in relation to the content or use of, or correspondence with, any such third-party software, hosts, website or Travel Supplier website, or any transactions completed, and any contract entered into by the Customer or any End-User (as the case may be), with any such third party or Travel Supplier. Acai does not endorse or approve any third party or Travel Supplier website nor the content of any of the third-party or Travel Supplier websites made available via the Acai Products.
11. Fees and Payment
11.1 Fees. In consideration for the license of the Acai Products and the Services, the Customer shall pay the Fees (excluding tax and disbursements) as provided in each Order. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Order, Fees are billed in advance for each Subscription Period.
11.2 Recurring Billing Authorization. The Customer authorizes Acai and its third-party payment processor (such as Stripe) to store the Customer's designated payment method and to automatically charge it: (a) upon acceptance of each Order, for the initial Subscription Period beginning on the Subscription Start Date; (b) at the start of each renewal Subscription Period, for the Fees applicable to that Subscription Period; and (c) for any other amounts payable under this Agreement, including applicable taxes. If Acai agrees in an Order to invoice the Customer instead, each invoice shall be payable by the Customer within thirty (30) days from receipt of invoice by wire transfer to the account designated by Acai.
11.3 Failed Payments; Late Fees. If a charge to the Customer's payment method fails, Acai (or its payment processor) may retry the charge, and the Customer shall promptly update its payment method and pay all outstanding amounts. If the Customer does not pay any amount due under this Agreement by the due date, Acai reserves the right to charge interest at the rate of 1.5% per calendar month on all amounts due and owing, calculated from the due date for payment until the actual date of payment, and to suspend access in accordance with Section 12.
11.4 Taxes. The Fees are exclusive of, and the Customer shall pay, all sales, use, value added, goods and services, digital services, withholding and similar transaction taxes, duties and levies imposed on the supply of the Acai Products and Services, excluding taxes based on Acai's net income, property or employees. If any taxes are assessed and levied by any relevant taxing authority (the "Taxing Authority") in the country in which the Acai Products and Services are used or received under a self-accounting mechanism, then the Customer shall account for such taxes on the Customer's VAT/tax return in accordance with the applicable tax legislation in the relevant country. Any claim by the Taxing Authority for penalties or interest arising out of the late payment of any self-accounted taxes shall be for the Customer's account. If the Customer is required under any applicable law to withhold or deduct any amount from the Fees due to Acai, then the Customer shall increase the amount the Customer pays to Acai by the amount necessary to leave Acai with an amount equal to the amount Acai would have received if no such withholdings or deductions had been made.
11.5 No Set-Off. All amounts due under this Agreement shall be paid in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
12. Suspension
12.1 Acai may suspend the Customer's (and any End-User's) access to all or part of the Acai Products and Services, upon notice where practicable, if: (a) any amount due under this Agreement remains unpaid ten (10) days after notice of non-payment; (b) the Customer breaches Section 6 (Customer's Obligations) or Section 3 (License); (c) Acai reasonably determines that the Customer's use of the Acai Products poses a security risk to, or may adversely impact, the Acai Products, Acai, or any third party; or (d) suspension is required under Section 7.3. Acai will restore access promptly once the grounds for suspension are cured. Suspension shall not relieve the Customer of its obligation to pay the Fees, and Acai shall have no liability for any suspension in accordance with this Section.
13. Confidential Information
13.1 Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, "Confidential Information" means any nonpublic and/or proprietary information that: (a) if disclosed in writing, is labeled as "confidential" or "proprietary"; (b) if disclosed orally, is designated confidential at disclosure; or (c) by its nature and/or the circumstances of its disclosure, should be reasonably considered as confidential. Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) was known to the Recipient prior to the time of disclosure by the Discloser; (ii) was in the public domain at the time of disclosure, or subsequently enters the public domain through no fault or breach of this Agreement by the Recipient; (iii) was disclosed to the Recipient by a third party that, upon the Recipient's reasonable knowledge, was under no obligation of confidentiality to the Discloser; or (iv) has been independently developed by the Recipient without reference to or use of the Confidential Information.
13.2 Use of Confidential Information. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Party receiving Confidential Information ("Recipient") from the other Party (the "Discloser") shall keep Confidential Information strictly confidential and not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party without the Discloser's prior written consent. The Recipient shall treat such Confidential Information with the same degree of care that it treats its own Confidential Information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. The Recipient may only use the Confidential Information in connection with this Agreement and shall not use the Confidential Information for any other purpose whatsoever. The Recipient may disclose the Confidential Information only to its Affiliates, employees, representatives, consultants, subcontractors, service providers, hosting providers and Third-Party AI Providers engaged in connection with this Agreement ("Representatives") on a strictly need-to-know basis. The Recipient shall ensure that Representatives are bound by confidentiality obligations that provide a level of protection substantially equivalent to those set out in this Agreement or, in the case of Third-Party AI Providers and hosting providers, by their standard enterprise terms. Disclosures to a Third-Party AI Provider procured by the Customer under Section 7.1 are made on the Customer's behalf and at its direction, and the Customer is responsible for that provider's treatment of the information. The Recipient shall be liable to the Discloser pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Agreement for any breach by its Representatives.
13.3 Right to Notice. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the event a Recipient receives a request to release Confidential Information pursuant to a court order, subpoena, or other governmental authority, the Recipient shall, to the extent legally permitted, provide the Discloser with prompt written notice in order to permit the Discloser to either consent to the disclosure or seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. The Recipient shall limit the disclosure of Confidential Information to the greatest extent possible under the circumstances.
13.4 Publicity. Except as may be required by law, neither Party shall disclose the commercial terms of any Order without the prior written consent of the other Party. Acai may identify the Customer as a customer, using the Customer's name and logo, in customer lists and marketing materials, in accordance with any reasonable brand guidelines the Customer provides; the Customer may withdraw this permission for future materials by written notice to Acai.
13.5 Customer Data. Acai will not retain, use or disclose Customer Data for any purpose other than in accordance with this Agreement or as required by law.
13.6 Privacy Laws; Data Processing. Each Party shall be responsible for ensuring that performance of its obligations and exercise of its rights under this Agreement comply with all applicable privacy laws. If this Agreement or any practices which could be, or are, employed in performance of this Agreement are inconsistent with or do not satisfy the requirements of any privacy laws, (i) the Parties shall agree in good faith upon an appropriate amendment to this Agreement to comply with such laws and regulations and (ii) the Parties shall execute and deliver any documents required to comply with such privacy laws. To the extent Acai processes personal data on behalf of the Customer in connection with the Acai Products, the Acai Data Processing Addendum available in the Resources section of Acai's Trust Center at https://trust.acaitravel.com/ (the "DPA") is hereby incorporated into and forms part of this Agreement, and is deemed executed by the Parties upon the Customer's acceptance of this Agreement, as further described in the DPA. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the DPA with respect to the processing of personal data, the DPA shall prevail.
13.7 Survival. The Parties' confidentiality obligations under this Section 13 shall survive for five (5) years following any termination or expiration of this Agreement, provided that confidentiality obligations with respect to Confidential Information constituting trade secrets shall continue for as long as such Confidential Information shall be eligible for trade secret protection.

15.2 By Acai. Acai shall defend the Customer, its officers, directors and employees against any claim that the Acai Products, Services or Documentation infringe any United States patent effective as of the Effective Date, copyright, trademark, proprietary right, right of privacy, database right or right of confidentiality, and shall indemnify the Customer for any amounts awarded against the Customer in judgment or settlement of such claims, provided that: (a) Acai is given prompt notice of any such claim; (b) the Customer provides reasonable co-operation to Acai in the defense and settlement of such claim, at Acai's expense; and (c) Acai is given sole authority to defend or settle the claim, provided that Acai shall not, without the Customer's prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), settle any claim in a manner that admits fault or liability on the part of the Customer or imposes any obligation on the Customer other than the payment of money fully indemnified by Acai.
15.3 Remedies. In the defense or settlement of any claim, Acai may procure the right for the Customer to continue using the Acai Products, Services or Documentation, replace or modify the Acai Products, Services or Documentation so that they become non-infringing or, if such remedies are not reasonably available, terminate the affected subscription on ten (10) Business Days' notice to the Customer and refund any prepaid Fees for the unused remainder of the then-current Subscription Period, without further liability or obligation to pay liquidated damages or other additional costs to the Customer.
15.4 Exclusions. In no event shall Acai, its employees, agents and sub-contractors be liable to the Customer to the extent that the alleged infringement is based on: (a) a modification of the Acai Products, Services and/or Documentation by the Customer without the consent of Acai; (b) the Customer's use of the Acai Products, Services and/or Documentation in a manner contrary to the instructions given to the Customer by Acai; or (c) the Customer's use of the Acai Products, Services and/or Documentation after notice of the alleged or actual infringement from Acai or any appropriate authority.

16.3 SUBJECT TO SECTIONS 16.2 AND 16.5, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE CONCERNING THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ANY CLAIM OR ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE), FOR ANY (A) INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, RELIANCE, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS, REVENUES, PROFITS OR GOODWILL, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF OR CORRUPTION OF DATA, LOSS OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THIRD PARTY CLAIMS (OTHER THAN AMOUNTS PAYABLE UNDER SECTION 15), BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS); OR (B) DAMAGES, IN THE AGGREGATE, IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNTS PAID TO IT (IN THE CASE OF ACAI) OR PAID OR PAYABLE BY IT (IN THE CASE OF THE CUSTOMER) HEREUNDER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THESE LIMITATIONS ARE INDEPENDENT FROM ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY REMEDY PROVIDED HEREIN.

16.4 AI-Generated Output. The Customer acknowledges that the Acai Products use large language models and other probabilistic AI techniques and that their output ("Output") may be inaccurate, incomplete or unsuitable for a particular purpose. The Acai Products are tools to assist the Customer's personnel and are not a substitute for professional judgment. The Customer is responsible for (a) reviewing Output before relying on it or communicating it to Clients or Travel Suppliers; (b) configuring and maintaining appropriate approval and control steps for any Output that results in the creation, modification or cancellation of a booking, a payment or refund, or a communication to a traveler; and (c) its and its End-Users' decisions and actions based on Output.

17. Termination
17.1 Cancellation by the Customer. The Customer may cancel its subscription at any time in accordance with Section 4.3, subject to the notice period stated in that Section and to any Minimum Term stated in the Order. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current Subscription Period or, where a Minimum Term applies, at the end of the Minimum Term, and no refund shall be due in respect of any period prior to the effective date of cancellation, in accordance with Section 4.5. Termination before the end of a Minimum Term is addressed in Section 4.7.
17.2 Discontinuation by Acai. Acai may terminate this Agreement or discontinue any Acai Product for convenience upon at least thirty (30) days' written notice to the Customer. If Acai terminates for convenience effective prior to the end of a Subscription Period for which the Customer has paid, Acai shall refund the Customer the pro-rated portion of any prepaid Fees attributable to the unused remainder of that Subscription Period, which shall be the Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for such termination.
17.3 For Breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement if the other Party materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure the breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice of the breach. If the Customer terminates under this Section 17.3, Acai shall refund the pro-rated portion of any prepaid Fees attributable to the unused remainder of the then-current Subscription Period.
17.4 Insolvency. Either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice if the other Party makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a receiver, trustee in bankruptcy or similar officer is appointed to take charge of any or all of the other Party's property, or the other Party seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors arrangement, composition or comparable proceeding or such a proceeding is instituted against the other Party and is not dismissed within ninety (90) days, or the other Party becomes insolvent or, without a successor, dissolves, liquidates or otherwise fails to operate in the ordinary course.
17.5 Effect of Termination. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement: (a) all licenses granted to the Customer under this Agreement immediately terminate and the Customer (and its Clients and End-Users) shall cease all use of the Acai Products and Documentation; (b) except as otherwise provided in Section 4.7, all amounts owed by the Customer under this Agreement become immediately due and payable; and (c) upon the Customer's written request made within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination, Acai will make available to the Customer a copy of the Customer Data in a commonly used electronic format, following which period Acai may delete Customer Data in accordance with its data retention practices and applicable law, provided that Acai may retain Customer Data in routine backups until overwritten in the ordinary course, and as required by law, in each case subject to Section 13 and the DPA, and may retain Aggregated Statistics. Where only a subscription is terminated, this Section applies to the Acai Products covered by that subscription.
17.6 Change of Control. The Customer shall notify Acai in writing within ten (10) Business Days after any Change of Control. A Change of Control does not terminate or otherwise affect this Agreement or any Order, which continue for the remainder of the then-current Subscription Period and any Minimum Term; however, the license remains limited to the Baseline Scope, and any Expanded Scope requires a new Order under Section 3.9. This Section applies only to a Change of Control of the Customer.
18. Changes to These Terms
18.1 Acai may modify this Agreement from time to time. If Acai makes material changes, Acai will notify the Customer at least thirty (30) days before the changes take effect, by email to the address associated with the Customer's account, through the Acai Products, or by other reasonable means. Material changes will take effect on the later of the date stated in the notice and the start of the Customer's next Subscription Period, except that changes applicable to new products, new features or new Orders, or changes required by applicable law, may take effect immediately upon notice. The Customer's acceptance of a new Order, renewal of a Subscription Period, or continued use of the Acai Products after the effective date of the changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Agreement. If the Customer does not agree to the modified Agreement, the Customer's exclusive remedy is to cancel by written notice given within thirty (30) days after Acai's notice, notwithstanding the notice period in Section 4.3, with effect from the end of the then-current Subscription Period. Material changes that are adverse to the Customer shall not take effect during a Minimum Term unless required by applicable law. Otherwise, this Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement executed by both Parties.
19. General Provisions
19.1 Electronic Contracting. The Parties agree that this Agreement and each Order may be entered into electronically, and that electronic acceptance (including clicking to accept or completing a checkout page) shall have the same force and effect as a manual signature. Acai's records of acceptance shall be presumptive evidence of the Customer's acceptance, absent manifest error.
19.2 Assignment. Neither Party may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement, including by merger or operation of law, without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that Acai may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to an Affiliate or in connection with a merger or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its stock or assets. A Change of Control of the Customer is deemed an assignment by the Customer. Acai shall not unreasonably withhold consent to an assignment by the Customer to an Affiliate or successor that is not a competitor of Acai (as reasonably determined by Acai), agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement, and accepts that the license remains limited to the Baseline Scope under Section 3.9. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section is void. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns.
19.3 Choice of Law; Venue; Jury Waiver. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. Exclusive jurisdiction and venue for actions related to this Agreement will be the courts located in Delaware, United States of America, and both Parties consent to the jurisdiction of such courts with respect to any such action; provided that Acai may bring an action to recover unpaid Fees in any court having jurisdiction over the Customer or its assets. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
19.4 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform hereunder if such delay or failure is due to any cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party, including without limitation, power or telecommunications failures, failure of Third-Party AI Providers, Travel Suppliers or hosting providers, fire, natural disasters or acts of God (each, a "Force Majeure Event"); provided that the Party so affected uses commercially reasonable efforts to prepare for, avoid or remove the causes of nonperformance and continues performance hereunder immediately after such causes are removed. A Force Majeure Event does not excuse the Customer's payment obligations. If a Force Majeure Event continues for more than sixty (60) days, either Party may terminate the affected subscription on written notice, and Acai shall refund any prepaid Fees for the unused remainder of the then-current Subscription Period.
19.5 Export and Sanctions. The Customer shall not, and shall not knowingly permit any Client or End-User to, access or use the Acai Products from, or for the benefit of any person located in, organized under the laws of or ordinarily resident in, any country or territory subject to comprehensive sanctions administered by the United States, or any person on an applicable sanctions or restricted-party list, and shall comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws in connection with its use of the Acai Products.
19.6 Independent Contractors. Acai is an independent contractor of the Customer, and this Agreement shall not be construed to create a partnership, joint venture or employment relationship between the Parties.
19.7 Notices. Acai may give notices to the Customer by email to the email address associated with the Customer's account or Order, through the Acai Products, or by any method described below. The Customer shall keep its account email address current. The Customer shall give notices to Acai in writing by (a) email to legal@acaitravel.com, deemed given on the next Business Day after sending unless the sender receives a delivery-failure notification; or (b) certified mail, return receipt requested, or overnight courier of national reputation, to Acai's registered address set forth above, deemed given on the date received as evidenced by proof of receipt. Notices given by Acai by email or through the Acai Products are deemed given on the next Business Day after sending or posting.
19.8 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. If any provision is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all other provisions hereof will remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and will be liberally construed in order to carry out the intent of the Parties hereto.
19.9 Survival. Sections 3.8, 3.9, 4.5, 4.7, 6.2, 6.3, 7.3, 8, 9, 10.2, 10.4, 11, 13 (for the period stated in Section 13.7), 14, 15, 16, 17.5 and 19, and any other provision which by its nature is intended to survive, shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
19.10 Waiver. No delay or omission in exercising any right hereunder will operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A waiver or consent given on one occasion is effective only in that instance and will not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any other occasion. To be effective, a waiver must be in writing and signed by the waiving Party.
19.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with each Order and any policies or addenda expressly incorporated by reference, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements concerning the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that nothing in this Section supersedes, amends or terminates any separately signed agreement described in Section 1.5, which continues to govern in accordance with its terms.
19.12 Subcontracting. Acai may engage subcontractors and subprocessors (other than Third-Party AI Providers procured by the Customer under Section 7.1) to perform its obligations under this Agreement, in accordance with the DPA where personal data is involved, and remains responsible for their performance.
19.13 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns. Except for the persons expressly entitled to indemnification or protection under Sections 15 and 16, nothing in this Agreement confers any right, benefit or remedy on any other person, including any Client or End-User.
19.14 Currency. Unless the Order states otherwise, all Fees are stated in, and shall be paid in, United States dollars.
19.15 Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges that a breach of Section 13, and a breach by the Customer of Section 3, Section 6.2 or Section 6.3, may cause the other Party irreparable harm for which damages would not be an adequate remedy, and that the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, without the requirement to post a bond or prove actual damages, in addition to any other remedies available to it.
