  1. INTERNET CONTENT FILTER SITECOACH – The UNIGUEST-Designed Software uses the content filter SiteCoach in order to block harmful content. UNIGUEST claims that this program can only work on the basis of mathematical rules and can therefore not judge whether a website really contains harmful content or not. UNIGUEST does not assume liability in case the browser, in combination with SiteCoach, still displays content- which is unlawful or which the HOTEL, any other person or the general opinion considers to be harmful (e.g. obscene or scandalous content). UNIGUEST also does not assume liability in case blocked web sites are not harmful in the opinion of the HOTEL or any other person. If SiteCoach blocks a website that is not supposed to be blocked, HOTEL shall notify UNIGUEST via email of website and UNIGUEST shall assist HOTEL in making that site available to users. UNIGUEST will update the filter list for SiteCoach free of charge and will continue to do so as long as SiteCoach updates are provided free of charge from the developer. UNIGUEST does not guarantee and is not liable that the filter list comprises a certain scope of content other than those specified at time of installation.
  2. Throughout the term of this HPA, HOTEL agrees that it shall not replace UNIGUEST’S service should the new service contain UNIGUEST-developed software.

HOTEL also understands that UNIGUEST has no control of the pricing of the PrinterOn service except to the initial pricing included in this agreement for the initial term. Should PrinterOn modify its pricing to UNIGUEST, UNIGUEST may modify its pricing to HOTEL in any subsequent renewal term. If the PrinterOn pricing is modified by UNIGUEST to HOTEL, HOTEL will be given the option to continue the service at the new price or terminate the PrinterOn service and be rebated back the prorated portion of the remaining service as part of the annual UNIGUEST subscription fee.

UNIGUEST and HOTEL agree that UNIGUEST will take commercially reasonable efforts to protect against its equipment being susceptible to the use of malicious software, including spyware, malware, adware, computer viruses, trojan horses and worms (“Malicious Software”). UNIGUEST and HOTEL further agree that UNIGUEST cannot protect against any and all, known and unknown Malicious Software, and that UNIGUEST is not an insurer. UNIGUEST shall have no liability for consequential, special, incidental or punitive damages incurred by HOTEL or any third party (even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages), whether based on contract, tort or any legal theory, arising out of or related to this Agreement. HOTEL understands and agrees that if UNIGUEST should be found liable for loss or damage due from a failure of UNIGUEST to perform any of the obligations herein, including but not limited to installation, maintenance, Malicious Software, monitoring or service or the failure of the system or equipment in any respect whatsoever, UNIGUEST’s liability shall be limited to Two Hundred Fifty ($250) Dollars as liquidated damages/limitation of liability and not as a penalty and this liability shall be exclusive; and that the provisions of this section apply if loss or damage, irrespective of cause of origin, results directly or indirectly to persons or HOTEL from performance or non-performance of the obligations imposed by this contract, or from negligence, active or otherwise, its agents, assigns or employees.
  6. Only upon Brand-written approval may UNIGUEST provide and display web-based advertising and other data and information on or through the System. For this consideration, UNIGUEST maintains rights to the “Home Page” of the Internet browser and shall provide at no cost, a standard guest user interface that may be modified from time to time with advertisers. However, HOTEL shall have the right to exclude any advertising, data, information, or display for any reason. Any advertising, data, information, or display which HOTEL or Brand has found to be unacceptable or in violation of this Agreement shall be promptly removed from the System at each location upon receipt of written notice via e-mail or registered postal letter by UNIGUEST.
  7. This Agreement is assignable by HOTEL or UNIGUEST and each agrees that the other would not enter into this Agreement without the absolute right to assign. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first set forth above.

In the event of any conflicts or omissions, the Master Agreement GS-UNIGU.002.2010 shall prevail.

3. Equipment and Materials Required.

Supplier shall provide all equipment and materials required to perform the Services except as specifically set forth in this SOW.

In the event Hotel allows Supplier to use Hotel equipment and/or materials, Supplier will inspect and take all risk associated with using Hotel equipment and/or materials. Further, Supplier waives any claim against the Indemnitees for any damages resulting from use of Hotel’s equipment and/or materials and insures that it will obtain similar waivers from its employees and/or contractors.

Unless otherwise stipulated in this agreement, HOTEL shall be responsible for exercising all warranty information that comes with hardware or software regardless of whether HOTEL purchases equipment on its own or from UNIGUEST.

  1. Microsoft Office – Costs associated with Microsoft Office will be bundled in hardware costs.
  2. Stand-Alone Security Software – Each PC that Uniguest provides service for under this Agreement must have a valid license of UNIGUEST’S security software suite. There is a one-time license “lease” for each PC. When this agreement terminates, HOTEL understands that the leased license reverts back to the custody of UNIGUEST. UNIGUEST maintain ownership of license at all times. Due to the complex nature of the software; HOTEL understands that it is impossible to detail in this Agreement all features of Software. HOTEL understands that Software may require updates in the future to better secure the PC’s configurations or better service System and there may be a charge for that software upgrade. If there is an upgrade, it is HOTEL’s sole discretion as to whether they desire to purchase the upgrade. For existing UNIGUEST customers who have paid in full license fee per SA GS-UNIGU-003, there will be no charge unless property requests additional workstations at which time they will incur the license costs for those machines only.
