THIS AGREEMENT is dated (the “Agreement“)

BETWEEN

SAFARI DEAL LIMITED (company no. 11040155) whose registered address is 4 Deepdene Vale, Dorking, United Kingdom, RH4 1NL (“Safari Deal“); and
TRAVEL PARTNER (company no. 00000 ) whose registered address is XXXX (“Travel Partner”)
together the “Parties” and each is a “Party“

RECITALS

Safari Deal operates as an online aggregator and the owner of a branded online marketing platform which enables third parties to market and sell their respective safari tours, packages, itineraries, and their associated services (the “Safari Deal Platform“). The Safari Deal Platform therefore functions as a blend between an online shop window for safari operators and related service providers and a comparison service for customers.
TRAVEL PARTNER is a provider of travel or itinerary services (or an associated service to these) and wishes to register as a formal, trusted partner on the Safari Deal Platform for the purposes of marketing and separately selling its services using the shop-window provided by Safari Deal (as a Travel Partner).
Both Parties acknowledge and agree that there is a significant benefit to the Travel Partner from having its services displayed in an interactive and customisable way for consumers on the Safari Deal Platform. These significant benefits include marketing, being part of the Safari Deal community and network, having access to Safari Deal strategic partners, and of course transacting business with Safari Deal website visitors or contacts who make a formal enquiry through the Safari Deal Platform.
In return for these benefits the Travel Partner agrees to remunerate and reward Safari Deal under the terms of this Agreement. The reward structure shall take the form of different kinds of referral payments derived from a formula set out in clause 6.2.
It is a fundamental feature of the relationship between Safari Deal and its Travel Partners that Safari Deal does not and shall not sell or transact with customers on behalf of the Travel Partner. Safari Deal in no way acts as an agent or legal representative of a Travel Partner nor does it have the authority or capacity to enter into binding legal agreements for the Travel Partner.

Termination of this Agreement shall not affect any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities of the Parties that have accrued up to the date of termination of this Agreement and shall not affect the rights of Safari Deal with respect to monies owed by a Travel Partner for Platform Enquiries, Other Enquiries and Commissions made during the term of this Agreement but which do not crystallise until the period up to 12 months after termination.
2. Subject to any terms of use and privacy policy created by Safari Deal which shall be incorporated by reference into this Agreement, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between them relating to its subject matter, whether written or oral.
3. No variation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is agreed in writing between the Parties clearly citing this clause. For the avoidance of doubt Safari Deals intends to introduce a new payment system into its business and will offer e-commerce opportunities and trade show opportunities in future which the Travel Partner hereby acknowledges and accepts. These may or may not require a variation to this Agreement or the execution of an extension to this Agreement which the Parties agree in good faith to complete.
4. No one other than a Party to this Agreement (and its successors and assigns) shall have any right to enforce any of its terms.

Save for any right of termination exercisable by either Party under clause 12, the parties hereby agree that this Agreement shall survive and continue upon a change of control or any form of business sale of either Party and that no change of name of either Party shall prevent the full force and all terms of this Agreement from continuing to apply.
8. No failure or delay by a Party to exercise any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by Law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the future exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
9. If any provision or part-provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted. Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this clause shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of this Agreement.
10. Neither Party shall be in breach of this Agreement nor liable for delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under this Agreement if such delay or failure result from events, circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control (a “Force Majeure Event”). Safari Deal shall have no liability to the Travel Partner under this Agreement if it is prevented from or delayed in performing its obligations under this Agreement, or from carrying on its business, by acts, events, omissions or accidents beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes (whether involving Safari Deal, its service providers or any other party), failure of an account servicing payment service provider such as a bank or a pension fund, or account information service provider or a payment service provider, utility service or transport or telecommunications network (or any other provider of a service which experiences an outage beyond Safari Deal’s control), act of God, outbreak of disease or epidemic or pandemic and the economic impacts from these, war, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage, compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, accident, breakdown of plant or machinery, fire, flood, storm or default of suppliers or sub-contractors or the maverick or rogue acts of an employee, agent or contractor.

2. The Parties further assure each other that if required, each shall (i) do or procure all such other acts and things and execute all such documents as may be necessary to give effect to the continuity and applicability of this Agreement to the fullest extent possible (ii) use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that the terms of this Agreement to be performed by them as substantially as possible notwithstanding any impacts or impediments brought about by jurisdictional issues or changes in Law.
