- CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. “Confidential Information” means any technical and business information disclosed by a Party to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) in discussions and activities related to this Agreement, provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be Confidential Information due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure. Client’s Confidential Information includes the Client Data. Zenmer’s Confidential Information includes the Zenmer Properties, the Subscription Services and Aggregated Data, the terms and conditions of and all Order Forms (including pricing), as well as business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by Zenmer.

During the Term and for a period of five (5) years after expiration or termination of this Agreement, neither Party shall make the other’s Confidential Information available to any third party or use the other’s Confidential Information for any purposes other than exercising its rights and performing its obligations under this Agreement. Neither Party shall disclose Confidential Information except to such Party’s advisors, accountants, attorneys, investors (and prospective investors), and prospective acquirers that have a reasonable need to know such information, provided that any such third parties shall, before they may access such information, either (a) execute a binding agreement to keep such information confidential or (b) be subject to a professional obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

- DISPUTES.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY: IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND GOVERNS HOW YOU AND Zenmer CAN BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER. THIS SECTION WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU AND Zenmer TO SUBMIT CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
13.1. Informal Resolution. Before filing a claim, each Party agrees to try to resolve the dispute by contacting the other party through reasonable means and providing notice of the dispute. Both Parties will use good faith efforts to attempt to reach a resolution. If a dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of notice, either party may bring a formal proceeding.
13.2. Agreement to Arbitrate. Zenmer and Client agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Zenmer Properties, or Client’s use of the Subscription Services including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitration (collectively “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. THIS MEANS THAT YOU AND Zenmer BOTH AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. Any Dispute shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration pursuant to the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996, but the parties do not necessarily intend for the ACA to administer the arbitration. The arbitration will take place in Nagpur, Maharashtra, or any other location mutually agreeable to the Parties, and the internal laws of the State of Maharashtra (other than conflicts of laws rules) and of India shall apply. Part or all of the arbitration may be conducted by telephone or based on written submissions, and will not require the personal appearance of the parties or any witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties. The allocation of costs and fees for such arbitration shall be determined in accordance with the ACA Rules. If such costs are finally determined to be excessive in a consumer dispute, Zenmer will be responsible for paying all arbitration fees and arbitrator compensation in excess of what is deemed reasonable. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator engaged in the practice of law who is mutually agreed upon by the Parties or failing such agreement within 14 days from the delivery of the original arbitration demand, each Party shall select one arbitrator and the two selected arbitrators shall mutually agree upon the selection of a third arbitrator within 30 days from the delivery of the original arbitration demand. The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be final and binding and may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. Nothing in this User Agreement will prevent a party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief with respect to the infringement, misappropriation or other violation of such party’s intellectual property or other proprietary rights in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event the foregoing agreement to arbitrate is deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable with respect to any claim, dispute or controversy, then you agree that any such claim, dispute or controversy shall be filed and adjudicated only in the state and relevant courts located in Nagpur, Maharashtra and you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of this User Agreement.
13.3. Exceptions. Either party may bring a lawsuit in the state or relevant courts located in Nagpur, Maharashtra (i) to enforce the arbitration provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) for equitable relief. Zenmer and Client hereby consent to exclusive jurisdiction in such courts.
13.4. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CLIENT OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANOTHER CLIENT OR USER.

Zenmer Travel Addendum
This Zenmer Travel Addendum governs the reservation, purchase and use of all Travel Services, and is incorporated into the Zenmer Terms and Conditions of Service Agreement (the “Agreement”). All terms used in this Travel Addendum but not defined herein shall have the same meaning as assigned to them under the Agreement.
- Use of the Travel Services. Client and each Client Representative acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) Zenmer acts only as a booking platform for the TMCs and is not responsible for the acts or omissions of TMCs, including, without limitation, their failure to provide services, adhere to their own schedules, provide services or refunds, financial default, failure to honor future trip credits, or otherwise honor their contracts. We have no special knowledge regarding the financial conditions of any TMC and accordingly will have no liability for recommending a trip credit in lieu of a refund. In our role as a booking platform and provider of Subscription Services, we act as an intermediary and independent third party between you and the TMCs; no joint venture, partnership, employment, agency, representative, fiduciary or similar relationship exists between you and us, or any TMC, as a result of your use of our Subscription Services. We assist you in finding TMCs and making certain arrangements for travel. We consider various factors in identifying TMCs and recommending specific itineraries.
(b) Additional terms, conditions , policies, rules, or restrictions dictated by the applicable TMC (the “TMC Terms”) shall apply to your reservation and/or purchase of applicable Travel Services. By purchasing any Travel Services through the Subscription Services, you agree to abide by all the TMC Terms, and to be bound by the limitations therein, including, payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the applicable TMC Terms. If the TMC Terms are ever in conflict with the Agreement, the Agreement including this Zenmer Travel Addendum, will control all issues relating to the liabilities and responsibilities of Zenmer. You understand that any violation of any such TMC Terms, including timely payment, may result in: (i) you forfeiting any monies paid for such reservation or purchase, (ii) cancellation of your reservation or purchase, (iii) you being denied access to any flights, hotels, or any other products or services, and (iv) us debiting your account for any costs we incur as a result of such violation. You acknowledge and agree that: (i) TMCs may change their prices without notice prior to reservation or purchase by you, and (ii) you shall be responsible for all charges, fees, duties, taxes, and assessments arising out of your use of Travel Services, including, without limitation, all reservations and purchases you make through the Travel Services. You acknowledge that some TMCs may require you to sign a liability waiver or other forms prior to using their services, and you understand that your unwillingness to do so may result in a cancellation of your reservation(s), being denied access to the TMC’s services, and forfeiting any monies paid for such reservation(s), in accordance with applicable TMC Terms. Through the Travel Services you may make a reservation for a combination of two one-way air tickets instead of a roundtrip air ticket. Unlike roundtrip air tickets, each one-way ticket is subject to its own rules, restrictions, and fees. If one of these flights is affected by an airline change (e.g., cancellation or rescheduling) that causes a you to make changes to the other flight, you acknowledge that you shall be responsible for any fees incurred for making changes to the unaffected flight, including any difference in fare and change/cancellation penalties.
(c ) At the time of reservation/purchase, your credit/charge card may be charged the total cost of the TMC products and services that you selected, including taxes and fees (but excluding any mandatory hotel-imposed charges that may be applicable upon check out from the hotel). You may see separate charges on your credit/charge card statement (from Zenmer and/or from the TMCs you selected). If applicable, certain mandatory hotel-imposed charges are payable to the property upon check-out (e.g., mandatory resort fees); any incidental charges that you make during your stay will be charged to you by the property upon check-out, including but not limited to parking, phone calls, internet access and room service. Some properties have age requirements; please check with the property for more information. Your reservation/purchase includes the products/services that you selected; therefore, if baggage, seat-selection, or similar ancillary items were not included in those products/services, additional TMC fees may apply. If you purchased a flight, your flight is not confirmed until ticketed.
(d) You are solely responsible for reviewing and complying with TMCs’ restrictions and requirements, including with respect to luggage allowances and restrictions, as well as bag-check and check-in timing requirements, and COVID-19 specific rules and requirements; and all purchases of Travel Services are subject to fare rules and any other terms and conditions presented at the time such booking is made, including without limitation, rules regarding refunds and/or cancellations
(e) You may only use the Travel Services to make legitimate reservations or purchases for you or other persons for whom you are authorized to act, and you shall not use any Travel Services for any other purposes, including, without limitation, making any speculative, false, fictitious or fraudulent reservation. You shall not use, nor shall you permit any use of, any Subscription Services in conjunction with any of your activities or by anyone that resides, stays, or is accessing a Travel Service from a country prohibited under India export and/or Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) regulations, including, without limitation, regulations based upon sanctions, country programs against, or embargoes. You shall become unauthorized to use any Subscription Services in the event of a breach of these obligations, and you shall indemnify and hold harmless us and TMCs for any breach of this section.
(f) You represent and warrant that: (i) you are of sufficient legal age to use the Travel Services and to create binding legal obligations for any liability you may incur as a result of the use of the Travel Services, (ii) you shall supervise all use of Travel Services by minors using your name or account, and (iii) all information supplied by you, or using your name or account, in using Travel Services is true, complete, and correct. You acknowledge and agree that: (i) you are financially responsible for all uses of Travel Services by you and those using your name and/or account, (ii) some TMCs have age requirements and restrictions for use of their products and services, and you and those traveling with you shall be subject to such requirements and restrictions, and (iii) should you make a reservation and/or purchase for other people, you shall inform those people of all terms, conditions, policies, rules, and restrictions that apply.

- Travel Risk. By offering reservations for Travel Services via the Subscription Services, in particular for international destinations, Zenmer does not represent or warrant that travel to such areas is advisable or without risk, and is not liable for damages or losses that may result from travel to such destinations.

WE HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ADDITIONAL EXPENSE, OMISSIONS, DELAYS, OR RE-ROUTING CAUSED BY ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY TMC OR GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY. THE FACT THAT WE INCLUDE OR OFFER ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE ON/THROUGH THE TRAVEL SERVICES DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE ENDORSING OR RECOMMENDING SUCH PRODUCT OR SERVICE. ANY AND ALL CLAIMS REGARDING ANY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OFFERED THROUGH THE TRAVEL SERVICES ARE LIMITED TO CLAIMS AGAINST THE TMC OF SUCH PRODUCTS AND SERVICE. WE HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, IN CONNECTION WITH PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY ANY TMC THROUGH THE TRAVEL SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LIABILITY FOR ANY ACT, ERROR, OMISSION, INJURY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOSS, ACCIDENT, DELAY, IRREGULARITY OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OR EXPENSES WHICH MAY BE INCURRED THROUGH THE FAULT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE, OF SUCH TMC AND YOU HEREBY EXONERATE US FROM ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE SAME.
- Prices and Surcharges.
(a) Only items and fees explicitly advertised as included in the price of a Travel Service will be included as part of Travel Service’s advertised price. Zenmer will use commercially reasonable endeavors to publish and maintain accurate prices and information for Travel Services through the Subscription Services and through our agents. TMCs provide us with the price, availability and other information related to the Travel Services. In the event, however, that a Travel Service is listed or provided to us at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to typographical error or other error in pricing or service information received from a TMC, we retain the right to refuse or cancel any purchase for such Travel Service, whether or not the order has been confirmed and/or your credit card charged.
(b) Travel Services involving airline and cruise components are subject to TMCs’ supplemental price increases that may be imposed by the TMC and/or government, even after you have completed your purchase. You hereby consent to any such price increases and authorize your credit or debit card to be used for them.
(c ) We expressly reserve the right to correct any pricing errors for Travel Services and/or on pending reservations made under an incorrect price. In such an event, if available, we will offer you the opportunity to keep your pending reservation at the correct price or we will cancel your reservation without penalty if available and possible from Zenmer’s end without causing any penalty to Zenmer.
(d) Our prices are contractual tariffs. No claim relating to the price of a Trip will be considered once the reservation is effective. All prices are quoted in Indian Rupee (INR) or US dollars (USD) unless otherwise denoted. Rates for Travel Services are based on tariffs and exchange rates in effect at the time of posting and are subject to change prior to departure. Substantial changes in tariffs, exchange rates, the price of fuel, services and labor sometimes increase the cost of Travel Service arrangements significantly and Zenmer won’t be held responsible for any claims arising out of these.
- Cancellation Substitution, Alteration Policies; Insurance
(a) Cancellations or Modifications attributable to Client Representative: Once ticketed, the name on the ticket cannot be changed and tickets are non-transferable. Cancellations, substitutions, no-shows, and/or alteration of terms of any Travel Services purchased vary by TMC. Your reservation/purchase may be non-refundable and non-cancellable. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the applicable TMC Terms prior to purchase, so we urge you to read them carefully. You will be responsible for any and all charges and fees levied by the TMC in connection with any such cancellation, substitution, no-show, or other alteration (each, a “Change”). In case of any such Change, Zenmer will refund to the Client Representative the corresponding booking amounts less any costs applied by the TMC for such Change (provided that said TMC expressly allows and previously reimburses such amount to Zenmer). In this regard, Zenmer may, at its sole discretion, refund the corresponding amount, if applicable, by wire transfer to the Client/Client Representative’s bank account or by means of discounting such amount from the next invoice to be issued to the Client/Client Representative. Upon such receipt, you are responsible for promptly reviewing your reservation/purchase confirmation/itinerary for accuracy and immediately notifying us of any errors. If your reservation/purchase is with multiple TMCs, and if cancellation is permitted by one TMC and not the other, you will not be refunded for the portion of your trip for which cancellations are not permitted and you will be required to cancel your entire trip.
(b) Cancellations and/or Alterations not attributable to Client Representative: Due to Force Majeure or TMC requests, changes and/or cancellations may need to be made to confirmed purchases. While we always endeavor to avoid changes and cancellations, we must reserve the right to do so and to substitute alternative arrangements of comparable monetary value. Zenmer reserves the right to adjust the Travel Service or change the modes of ground and air travel, change the quality of accommodations or otherwise change the Travel Service without prior notice. We accept no liability for loss of enjoyment as a result of these changes. Any additional charges incurred arising from the postponement, delay or extension of a Trip or adjustment to the itinerary due to Force Majeure will be the Client Representative’s responsibility. Zenmer will attempt to provide Client Representatives’ with advanced notice of any changes to a Trip or Travel Services to the extent commercially possible.
(c ) Insurance: For your protection, we strongly recommend that you purchase trip cancellation and travel accident insurance. Please note that, unless you buy a cancel-for-any-reason policy, most policies have a specific clause stating they do not cover epidemics and pandemics, especially when travel warnings are in place. No representation or description of the insurance made by our staff constitutes a binding assurance or promise about the insurance. You agree to hold us harmless for your election not to purchase travel insurance or for any denial of claim by travel insurer as it relates to COVID-19 or any other claim under the policy.
- Issuing Travel Documents. Travel documents will only be sent to the purchasing Client Representative who places the order and personally agrees to this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Zenmer Travel Addendum). Should you change your email address, phone number, or address before your departure date, you are required to advise us of the change. If an Authorized Traveler provides incorrect information to Zenmer, we do not assume any liability if the purchase is adversely affected or made impossible by the non-receipt of travel documents.
- Passports, Visas, Reciprocity Fees, and Travel Health Requirements. You assume full and complete responsibility for checking and verifying any and all passport, visa, vaccination, or other entry requirements of your destination and your connecting points, and all conditions regarding health, safety, security, political stability, and labor or civil unrest at such destination. Many countries require your passport to be valid for six months or more after your date of entry. Some countries will not admit persons convicted of a crime. Some countries require both parents’ consent for minors to travel.
- Credit Card Merchant. We also strongly recommend that you use a credit card for your purchase of Travel Services, so that you can exercise your rights if you do not receive the Travel Services you purchased. However, if we are the credit card merchant, our role is to facilitate the sale, collect funds on your behalf, and remit those funds to the applicable TMCs. If the TMCs do not provide the Travel Services, your only recourse would be against the applicable TMC, and you agree not to initiate a chargeback against us.
- Algorithms. The Subscription Services make use of certain proprietary algorithms (collectively, the “Zenmer Algorithm”) that take into account factors such as Corporate Travel Program, Client Representative profiles and behavior, current market conditions, and other relevant factors to determine dynamic travel policy limits, market price, sorting of Travel Services results, availability of special products and discounts, or other features. The Zenmer Algorithm does not determine or affect the price of any Travel Services. Client acknowledges that the Zenmer Algorithm is a dynamic feature of the Subscription Services and may display different results in connection with different Client Representatives, travel dates, locations and other profile and search elements.
- Modification. Zenmer reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to enhance, modify, discontinue or terminate all or any portion of this Zenmer Travel Addendum, at any time and without prior notice. If we modify this Zenmer Travel Addendum, we will post the modification on the Zenmer Site or provide you with notice of the modification. If you do not agree to any change(s) after such notice of such change(s) is provided or posted, you shall stop using the Zenmer Services to purchase the Travel Services. Otherwise, your continued use of the Zenmer Services to purchase Travel Services, constitutes your acceptance of such change(s).
- Claims Deadline. YOU AGREE TO PRESENT ANY CLAIMS AGAINST US RELATING TO TRAVEL SERVICES WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER YOUR TRIP ENDS AND TO FILE SUIT WITHIN ONE MONTH OF THE INCIDENT, AND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS EXPRESSLY LIMITS THE APPLICABLE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS TO ONE MONTH.
