Attachment 1
9 11. Force Majeure and Disaster.
a. Liability.
No Party shall be liable for delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement if and to the extent such delay is caused, directly or indirectly, by: fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God, riots, civil disorders, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party (a “Force Majeure Event”). However, in the case of a Force Majeure Event, Provider shall immediately commence disaster recovery services as described in this Section 10.
b. Duration.
In a Force Majeure Event, the non -performing Party shall be excused from further performance or observance of the obligation(s) so affected for as long as such circumstances prevail and such Party continues to use its best efforts to recommence performance or observance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay. Any Party so delayed in its performance shall immediately notify the Party to whom performance is due by telephone (to be confirmed in writing within two (2) days of the inception of su ch delay) and describe at a reasonable level of detail the circumstances causing such delay.
c. Effect.
If a Force Majeure Event substantially prevents, hinders, or delays performance of the Services as critical for more than fifteen (15) consecutive days, then at City’s option: (i) City may terminate any portion of this Agreement so affected and the charges payable hereunder shall be equitably adjusted to reflect those terminated Services; or (ii) City may terminate this
Agreement without liability to City or Provider as of a date specified by City in a written notice of termination to Provider. Provider shall not have the right to any additional payments from City for costs or expenses incurred by Contractor as a result of any force majeure condition that lasts longer than three (3) days. d. Recovery.
A Force Majeure Event shall not excuse Provider of its obligations for performing disaster recovery services as provided in this Section. In the event that a disaster or force majeure event occurs and Provider fails to restore the hosting services within 24 hours of the initial disruption to Services, City may, in its discretion, deem such actions to be a material default by Provider incapable of cure, and City may immediately terminate this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “disaster” shall mean an interruption in the hosting services or the inability of Provider to provide City with the SaaS Application and hosting services for any reason that could not be remedied by relocating the SaaS Application and hosting services to a different physical location outside the proximity of its primary Data Center.

The Scope of Work shall include: the Service Level Agreement attached as Exhibit A and the Support and Maintenance Services terms attached as Exhibit B, Merchant Services Agreement attached as Exhibit C, and insurance requirements attached as Exhibit D.

1.5. Affiliates. Client’s Affiliates may order Products from Active (or one of Active’s Affiliates) by entering into a Schedule. In the event that a Client Affiliate enters into a Schedule with Active (or an Affiliate of Active), reference in this Agreement to “Client” and “Active” will mean the respective entity that accepts (as described in the Preamble) the applicable Schedule. Each such Schedule will be deemed to be a separate agreement.
2. FINANCIAL TERMS.
2.1. Payment Terms. Unless otherwise specified in the Schedule, all amounts owed by Client that are not directly collected by Active are due from Client within thirty (30) days from either (a) the end of the remittance cycle during which the fees accrued (if related to regist rations or transaction processing), or (b) the date of the applicable invoice. If the Agreement Effective Date is on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the month, Active will invoice Clients on the fif teenth (15th), or on the following business day when such date falls on a weekend day. If the Agreement Effective Date is after the fifteenth (15th) day of the month, Active will invoice Clients on the first (1st) day of the following month, or on the following business day when such date falls on a weekend day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Active shall invoice Client for fifty percent (50%) of total Service costs at Service initiation. The remaining fifty percent (50%) of th e total Service costs will be invoiced at Service completion..
2.2. Fees and Currency. Fees and currency, are specified in the applicable Schedule. Payment of fees is under no circumstances subject to, or conditioned upon, the delivery of future Products or functionality. In special circumstances, Active, in its sole discretion and upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Client (which may be sent by email), shall have the right to further increase the transaction fees on an annual basis by an additional amount (the “Additional Increase”) provided that the Annual Fee Increase and the Additional Increase cumulatively do not exceed twelve and a half percent (12.5%) for transaction fees.
2.3. Additional Payment Terms.

Active will notify Client of the reason for such offset provided that it is lawful to do so.
2.4. Credit Card Surcharging. All fees described in the applicable Schedule are in consideration of the Products that Active provides. Active and Client acknowledge that certain credit card network rules and laws prohibit imposing a surcharge that is based on the type of payment method used (e.g., having a different fee for the use of a credit card vs. debit card), and therefore, each agrees not to impose such a surcharge on any End User.
2.5. Taxes. The prices stated in this Agreement do not include Taxes. Client is responsible for, and agrees to pay, any and all required Taxes which may be assessed on Client’s invoices. If Client is tax-exempt, Client will send Active a copy of its valid tax-exempt certificate (or, as applicable, its reseller’s certificate) prior to execution of any Schedule. Client is solely responsible for determining which, if any, Taxes apply to End Users or licensees in connection with Client’s use of the Products and for collecting, remitting, and reporting the correct amounts of all such Taxes to the applicable governmental authorities, ev en if Active provides Client with tools that assist Client in doing so. In the event that a gover nmental authority requires Active to pay any Taxes attributable to Client’s use of the Products, to the extent not prohibited by law, Client agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Active harmless from all such Taxes and all costs and expenses related thereto. Active reserves the right to modify this section and apply all required Taxes to this Agreement upon providing a thirty (30) day written notice t o Client in order to comply with applicable laws. When Active is acting as the payment facilitator and Client elects to include an additional fee in the End Users’ cart that is identified as a “sales tax” or similar designation, then, no more frequently than once per calendar year during the Term of the Agreement, Active may, upon at least five (5) business days’ prior written notice, (a) require Client to send to Active Client’s books and records related to its sales tax payments, and/or (b) visit C lient’s premises during Client’s normal business hours to review Client’s sales tax payments.

This Product Attachment is effective as of the date it is “accepted” (in accordance with the Preamble to the General Terms). Any capitalized terms not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the General Terms.
1. SERVICES. Active will provide the Products related to events, camps, licenses, classes, tickets, contests, permits, facility/equipme nt use, transactions, sales, memberships, reservations, donations, and/or activities (together, “ Events”). Client agrees to cooperate with Active and to provide Active with certain information relating to Client’s organization as necessary for Active to provide the Products. Products provided hereunder are deemed delivered when access is made available to Client.
2. LICENSE TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY/PROMOTION.
2.1. Active hereby grants to Client a limited, non -exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license during the Term of this Product Attachment (a) to use the Products for the purposes of offering, promoting, managing, tracking, and collecting fees in connection with Client’s Event(s) solely in accordance with the Agreement and the Schedule, which for purposes hereof will include the support and maintenance handbook applicable to the Products (available for review in the Client portal), as may be updated from time to time, and (b) to display, reproduce, distribute, and transmit in digital form Active’s name and logo solely for the purposes set fo rth in this Section 2. Client hereby grants to Active a limited license to use information provided by Client relating to Client’s organization an d Event, which may include content regarding the Event, Client’s organization’s name, trademarks, service marks, and logo (collectively, the “Marks”), in connection with the promotion of Client’s organization or Events and the Products that Active provides.
2.2. Client will make reasonable efforts to promote and encourage the use and availability of the Products in connection with the promoti on of Events. During the Term of this Product Attachment, Active will be the provider of registration software and other services similar to the Products provided to Client’s Recreation Services Division hereunder for Events selected by Client, in its sole discretion, for which registration begins during the Term of this Product Attachment until the Event occurs.
For clarity, if an Event selected by Clients occurs after this Agreement is terminated, other than for Active’s uncured material breach, and reg istration for such Event begins during the Term of this Agreement, then Active Products shall be used. Client expressly understands and agrees that the exclusivity set forth in this Section 2.2 is consideration in exchange for the pricing and other benefits being provided to Client hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, Client will not enter into any agreement, arrangement, or relationship with any other party to offer online registration or transaction processing services for events like camps or clas ses that are configured in the Product provided to Client’s Recreation Services Division hereunder, but may enter into other arrangements for other Events not configured in the product provided to the Client, or for events offered by departments and divisions of Client outside of the Recreation Services Division, such as golf, tennis, and outdoor pickleball, at Client’s sole discretion.
3. PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION.
3.1 End User Personal Information. The Products are designed to enable Client to collect information from and about End Users. Information that identifies, re lates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a p articular End User shall be referred to herein as “End User Personal Information.” The Products process two forms of End User Personal Information:
3.2 End User Accounts. When an End User interacts with the Products for the first time, Active creates an account for that End User (“ End User Account”). Active authenticates the End User in future interactions with the Products by requiring the End User to log in to their End User Account. Active maintains End User Accounts pursuant to the Terms of Use and Privacy Notice that Active displays to the End User when the End User creates the End User Account.
3.3 Participant Information. Client will have the ability to use the Products to collect a wide variety of End User Personal Information from authentica ted End Users, including through the use of forms and features that enable the collection of images and other attachments (“Participant Information”). As between the Parties, Client is exclusively responsible for providing any notices, procuring any consents, and otherwise taking any steps that are necessa ry to ensure that Active’s collection, storage, and processing of Participant Information on behalf of Client, as contemplated by this Agreement, is compliant with Data Protection Laws. For the purposes of this Product Attachment, “Data Protection Laws” means all local, state, federal and foreign privacy, security, marketing and consumer protection laws and regulations applicable to the processing of Participant Information. Active will process Participant Information solely for the purpose o f providing the Products to Client, and as otherwise permitted by Data Protection Laws. Client agrees that it will process Participant Information at all times in compliance with Data Protection Laws, and that it will not use any Participant Information to communicat e with any End User in a manner that violates the CAN -SPAM Act, the Canadian Anti -Spam Legislation, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, or any other law or regulation applicable to Client’s outreach to End Users via email or SMS. Client further agrees that Client will not permit any Affiliate or third party to access or process any Participant Information in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement, or in a manner which would cause Active’s processing of such Participant Information, as contemplated by this Product Attachment, to violate Data Protection Laws. If Client is subject to a Data Protection Law that requires the Parties to enter into a Data Protection Addendum that includes terms supplemental to this Product Attac hment, it is Client’s obligatio n to notify Active of that requirement.
3.4 Data Retention. The Products are not designed to serve as a permanent system of record. During the Term, Active reserves the right to delet e any Participant Information that has not been accessed or modified within a trailing period of six (6) years. At the conclusion of the Term, Active will: (i) convert all Participant Information to a backup format approximately thirty (30) days after the end of the Term; and (ii) permanently and securely delete all Participant Information approximately one (1) year after the end of the Term. If Client is subject to any legal obligation that would require Client to maintain any Participant Information for a longer period than those set forth in this Section 3.2, it is Client’s responsibility to retrieve that Participant Information from the products and to store it in another form at within the time periods allotted. Notwithstanding anything else set forth in the Agreement or in this Product Attachment, Activ e shall not be in any way responsible for any negative consequences associated with Client’s failure to adhere to the requirements set forth in this Section 3.2.
3.5 Prohibition on Certain Categories of Participant Information . The Products are customizable, meaning Client has the ability to choose what kinds of Participant Information Client will use the Products to collect. Client agrees, however, that Client will not use the Products to collect or otherwise process: (i) any personal health information that is subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and its accompanying regulations, or any relevant amendments thereto; (ii) any Participant Information from or about a minor, without procuring and documenting a prior consent that meets the requirements of any applicable Data Protection Laws, and maintaining such documentation for the duration of the Term; (ii) any cardholder data subject to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard Attachment 1
Contract # 00142630
Version: 07/05/24 Page 2 of 3 Recreation and Membership Management Product Attachment DC3 - Sensitive (“PCI-DSS”), or any other payment card or financial account information, except within pre-defined fields designed for that purpose; or (iii) any unredacted social security numbers or other similar government identifiers, except within pre-defined fields designed for that purpose. If Active discovers any violation of this Section 3.3 by Client, Active reserves the right to promptly and securely dispose of any prohibited Participant Information found within the Products.
3.6 User Accounts. Client is exclusively responsible for: (a) creating and defining under Client’s account in the Products any logons or IDs for Client’s Users of the Products; and (b) defining and maintaining at all times with respect to each such logon or ID the appropriate scope of the ap plicable User’s authority and permission with respect to the use of the Products and the security controls, restrictions, and limitations that apply with respect to each such User and his or her use of the Products.
Client is solely and exclusively responsible for all access and use of the Products (and for any resulting activity or communications) by Client or its Users or that occurs through the use of any logon or ID established by or with respect to Client or any of its Users. Active shall not be liable or responsible for any activity, loss, or damage arising from any unauthorized access to or use of any such logons or IDs or resulting from any failure by Client or its syste m administrator to establish or assign an appropriate scope of authority or permission, or appropriate security controls, restrictions, or limitations, with respect to any given U ser, logon, or ID. Client shall immediately notify Active of any known or suspected unauthorized access to or use of Client’s account, or of any logons or IDs established or assigned with respect to Client or its Users, of which Client becomes aware.
4. FEES.
4.1. Client will pay the fees as more fully described in the applicable Schedule. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Schedule, Active will charge registration fees to individuals who register for the Events or purchase goods or services online, and will process and collect such fees as a payment facilitator according to the card networks. On a bi-weekly basis, unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Schedule, Active will pay Client sums due to Client based on the t otal fees collected, net of Active’s service fees as set forth in the applicable Schedule and any other deductions provided herein. The applicable currency will be set forth in the Schedule.
4.2. If applicable, any minimum volume commitment will be set forth in the applicable Schedule. The minimum volume calculation will begin on the date of the first live operational use of the Products for the Event(s) (“Go-Live Date”). If the Schedule indicates that Client is paying on a subscription basis, Client will be invoiced for the first month of subscription fees upon the Go-Live Date, with subsequent subscription fees being invoiced monthly.
4.3. If (a) there are any overdue or overage amounts owed by Client; or (b) there are returned charges or items, including those resulting from any error or complaint related to an Event, Active has the right to charge fees owed to Active by Client by issuing an invoice, or by offsetting the deficiency from any account balance Client maintains with Active or any payment Active owes Client.
4.4. In the event Client is entering into this Product Attachment and using the Products for the benefit of a third-party Event or organization (“Third Party Recipient”), Client agrees that Active can remit amounts directly to the Third Party Recipient identified by Client. In addition, Client will cause each Third Party Recipient to agree to and comply with provisions that are at least as protective of Active as Sections 3 and 4 of the General Terms in Client’s agreement with such Third Party Recipient.
Should Client fail to obtain such agreement to such provisions and the failure results in costs or damages to Active, to the extent not prohibited by law, Client agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Active harmless from any such costs and damages, including, without limitation, reasonable att orneys’ fees. In addition, Client is responsible and liable for each Third Party Recipient’s compliance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
4.5. It is Client’s responsibility to notify End Users of Client’s refund policy. Client must ensure that Client’s refund policies are consistent with the Agreement. Client agrees that all fees for a given Event are earned by Client only following either the co nclusion or delivery of the applicable Event (as applicable) and all amounts ultimately due to Client will be net of all service fees, reversals, refunds, disputed charges, chargebacks and other deducti ons whether due to customer complaints, allegations of fraud, discrepancies related to the applicable Event or otherwise. No payments will be made to Client with respect to any Eve nt that is cancelled. If payments have already been made by Active to Client for a cancelled Event or if Active reasonably determines that it is prudent or otherwise necessary to pay a refund to or honor a chargeback request from an End User, Active may issue an invoice or offset an equivalent amount from Client’s a ccount or payment owed by Active to Client and return the value to the End User, and if sufficient funds are not available, Client must reimburse Active on demand. Active will notify Client of the reason for such offset provided that it is lawful to do so.
4.6. Client hereby authorizes and appoints Active as its limited agent to initiate payment card and ACH credit or debit entries to and from Client’s bank account.
Payment by Receiver (in the case of ACH entries) or card networks (in the case of Payment Card tr ansactions) to Active is considered the same as payment made directly to Client. Client, upon receipt of funds by Active, must (1) provide the purchased goods or services to the End Use r, or (2) credit the End User for the full amount of funds received by Active, which credit is not revocable by Client, and evidence this credit in writing in a form capable of being retained for future reference.
For transactions involving goods or services, Client must provide the purchased goods and services as agreed to between Client and End User, regardless of whether Active transmits the funds to Client.
5. TERM AND TERMINATION.
5.1. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Schedule, this Product Attachment will commence on the Effective Date and will remain in effect until the earlier of (i) termination in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”). Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Schedule, if Client enters into a Schedule for additional Products that are related to or interoperable with the Products und er an existing Schedule, the Term of such subsequent Schedule shall, if mutually agreed, be made concurrent and coterminous with the Term of the existing Schedule.
5.2. If Client has entered into a sub-merchant agreement for payment processing services, and such agreement is terminated by the applicable acquiring bank, Active may terminate this Product Attachment and the effected Schedule.
6. NON-APPROPRIATION.
Client’s obligations and all amounts payable hereunder are contingent upon sufficient appropriations therefor e by Client’s Governing Body. If sufficient appropriations are not made, Client will notify Active of the same, and this Agreement will terminate forthwith. Client represents that it intends to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement and reasonably believes that funds in amounts sufficient to fulfill these obligations lawfully can and will be appropriated and made available for this purpose.
In the event funds are not appropriated in amounts sufficient to fulfill these obligations, Client shall use its best efforts to satisfy any requirement for payment from any other source of funds legally available for this purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client shall notify Active within ten (10) days of any action by Client's governing Attachment 1

Merchant is required to disclose the fee to the Cardholder and provide the Cardholder with the opportunity to cancel the Transaction, if the Cardholder does not want to pay the convenience fee. In addition to the foregoing, (i) Visa requires Merchants to have a brick and mortar location in order to be allowed to charge a convenience fee; (ii) MasterCard requires processors to register any government or education merchant; and (iii) AMEX requires that the convenience fee be shown as a separate charge on the Cardholder’s receipt for the goods or services.
Surcharge: A charge in addition to the initial amount of the sale on a credit card to cover the merchant’s cost of acceptance. All Card Schemes allow surcharging. Visa, MasterCard and Discover require Merchants to register with the Card Schemes. The Merchant is required to disclose the fee at the entry of its establishment and at the point of sale. The Cardholder must be given the opportunity to cancel the Transaction if they do not want to pay the surcharge fee. The amount of the charge cannot exceed the amount of the Merchant’s discount fee on Visa, MasterCard and Discover and is capped at 4%. The surcharge must appear on the sales receipt separately from the sales amount. All Card Schemes must be charged equally. Currently there are several states that prohibit surcharging. Merchants should check their state and local laws prior to initiating a surcharge.
Service Fee: Visa allows government and education merchants to charge a different type of fee called a “service fee”. This fee is assessed for accepting payments for taxes, fees and fines for government MCCs and for tuition, room and board, lunch programs, etc. for education MCC merchants. The service fee can be charged on credit and debit Transactions, in a face-to-face or card not present environment. The service fee must appear separate from the sales amount on the receipt. Merchants must be registered through Visa. Service fee must be disclosed prior to completion of the transaction, allowing the cardholder to cancel the Transaction if they do not wish to accept the service fee. MasterCard allows government and education merchants to charge “convenience fees” and has no separate “service fee” for these MCCs.
Other Fees: Handling fees and payment fees are allowed on all Card Schemes as long as these fees are charged on all payment channels; cash, checks, ACH, etc. These are not governed by the Card Schemes specifically.
