2. PAYMENT TERMS.

a. Fees. If Merchant selects the Preferred Customer offering, Merchant agrees to pay to Vivino the following

fees and charges (“Fees”), which are exclusive of any applicable sales tax, value added tax, or service tax, which may be

charged in addition to the Fees and that you agree Vivino may collect using your Payment Method (as defined below):

i. A monthly listing fee (“MLF”) equal $100 per month; and

ii. A pay-per-click fee (“PPC”) equal to $0.30 for each time a Link is displayed to a unique User and

clicked by the User per day (each a “Click”). For clarity Vivino shall use commercially reasonable efforts to identify each

unique User so that if the same unique User clicks on the same Link within a twenty-four (24) hour period, only one PPC

3

shall be charged for such unique User, provided, however, that Vivino shall not be responsible, nor shall Merchant be entitled

to a credit or refund, for any failure to de-duplicate any Clicks where such commercially reasonable efforts are not successful

due to factors outside Vivino’s reasonable control, such as lack of adequate information to identify the User.

b. Fee Changes. Vivino reserves the right to adjust the Fees at any time by providing Merchant with no less

than seven (7) days’ notice prior to the effective date the new Fees will take effect.

c. Invoicing; Suspension.

i. If Merchant selects the Preferred Customer offering, commencing as of the date Merchant clicks

“Sign Up”, the MLF shall be due and payable each month in advance of the next month, and the PPC shall be invoiced at the

end of each monthly cycle for the prior monthly cycle, with the due date for all Fees due for each monthly period on the same

day each month as the date Merchant clicked “Sign Up” (or, in the event that Vivino grants Merchant any free trial period

(“Free Trial”), then on the day immediately following expiration of such Free Trial), or, in the event that the Effective Date

falls the 31st of a Month, the Fees shall be due and payable on the 30th day of any month that does not have 31 days or the

28th day in the case of February (the “Payment Date”);

ii. Merchant shall maintain a current payment method on file with Vivino, which payment method

may include a current credit card, debit card, bank account, or PayPal account (‘Payment Method”);

iii. Merchant hereby authorizes Vivino to charge the Fees to the Payment Method on each Payment

Date; and

iv. In the event that any Payment Method is declined, Vivino shall provide Merchant with an email

invoice for the Fees, which invoice shall be immediately due and payable, and Merchant hereby acknowledges and agrees

that: (A) Vivino shall have the right to charge interest at the lesser of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month or the

highest rate allowed by law, accruing from the Payment Date until the date upon which Merchant makes payment of the

outstanding amount; (B) suspend or terminate this Agreement; and (C) recover from Merchant any and all reasonable

expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Vivino in collecting such amounts.

d. Calculation of Fees. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that tracking of Clicks (the “Fee Metrics”) will be

determined solely by Vivino in accordance with Vivino’s reporting and/or tracking procedures. Merchant further agrees and

acknowledges that the determinations of Vivino with respect to the calculation of the Fee Metrics are final and not subject to

petition or debate.

3. LICENSE. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including payment of the Fees, if applicable,

Vivino hereby grants to Merchant a non-exclusive, limited, revocable, non-assignable, and non-transferable license during

the Term to access and use the interactive, web-based dashboard provided by Vivino (the “Dashboard”) and the data output

setting forth the number of Clicks generated by Merchant (the “Click Data”).

4. TERM AND TERMINATION.

a. Term. The term of this Agreement will commence on the date Merchant clicks “Sign Up” and will

continue until terminated as set forth herein; provided, however, that in the event of a Free Trial of the Preferred Customer

offering, the term of this Agreement shall automatically commence upon the expiration of such Free Trial unless Merchant

notifies Vivino in writing that it elects to discontinue using the Service after expiration of the Free Trial, in which case the

term of this Agreement shall continue until terminated.

b. Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time upon providing seven (7) days prior

written notice to the other party, provided, however, that except in the event of a material breach by Vivino, any and all Fees

pre-paid by Merchant prior to the date of termination shall be forfeited and non-refundable. In the event of a Free Trial of the

Preferred Customer offering, Merchant may terminate this Agreement immediately without notice at any time during a Free

Trial Period. Upon expiration of this Agreement, Vivino reserves the right, without the obligation, to continue to list

Merchant within its App and the Site and to include a Link to the Merchant Site in the Results for Merchant Products

displayed to Users of the App and Site.

c. Survival. Any termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to the rights of either party against

4

the other in respect of any antecedent claim or breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any obligations of the

parties relating to limitations on liability, confidentiality and indemnification, as well as any other obligations under this

Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive, shall survive termination of this Agreement.

5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF MERCHANT.

a. Representations and Warranties. Merchant represents and warrants that:

i. All information provided to Vivino by Merchant is, and will continue to be, accurate, complete,

and current, including, without limitation, Merchant’s legal name, address and other requested contact information, and all

Listing Data.

violates any rights of third parties, including but not limited to copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, confidentiality or

other proprietary rights, (“IP Rights”); (B) promotes the use of illegal substances, nudity, sex, pornography, expletives or

inappropriate language; or (C) violates any applicable law or the Wine Industry Code of Advertising Standards (the “Code”);

and

iii. The publication, reproduction, display, modification, distribution or transmission of any of

Merchant’s Links does not and will not violate the Code or any applicable law, statute, or any rule of any wireless carrier or

of Apple, Inc., or Google, Inc.

6. CONFIDENTIALITY.

a. General. Each party agrees that any information or data: (i) fixed in a tangible medium and furnished by

one to the other under this Agreement and marked as the confidential or proprietary information of the disclosing party; or (ii)

not marked, but which, a reasonable person would conclude is of a confidential nature given the facts and circumstances of

such disclosure, is, in each case, stated to be confidential or proprietary to the other party (“Confidential Information”).

Confidential Information shall not include information that demonstrably: (A) was in the other party’s lawful possession prior

to the disclosure and had not been obtained by the other party either directly or indirectly from the disclosing party; (B) is or

becomes a part of the public domain through no wrongful act or omission of the other party or of any non-party who

use of or reference to the other party’s Confidential Information. The parties shall not, unless required by law, make each

other’s Confidential Information available in any form to any third party (except each party’s respective legal, tax, and

accounting advisors) or to use each other’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than in the performance of this

Agreement. Each party acknowledges and agrees that, because of the unique nature of Confidential Information, there can be

no adequate remedy at law for breach of this confidentiality provision, and that such breach would cause irreparable harm to

the non-breaching party; therefore, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief, in addition to

whatever remedies it might have at law or under this Agreement; and

b. Click Data. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that the Click data constitutes the Confidential Information

of Vivino, and Merchant: (i) shall use the Click Data only for its internal business uses; (ii) shall not permit, authorize, or
