These terms and conditions for services (these “Terms”) are the only terms that govern the provision of services by Us, The GR8GROUP, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and its officers, board, employees, agents, affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Service Provider,” “We,” “Us” or “Our”) to You (“Client,” “You” or “Your”). We require that any and all individuals, clients, groups, organizations, business, spectators or others who may participate in experiences, activities, events, or travel related services organized by Us adhere to the following terms and conditions, as amended from time to time. The accompanying Client Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement“) and these Terms (collectively, this “Agreement”) comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Services Agreement, these Terms will govern, unless the Services Agreement expressly states that the terms and conditions of the Services Agreement will control.
Service Provider will provide the services to You as described in the Services Agreement (the “Services”) in accordance with these Terms.
Service Provider will use reasonable efforts to meet any performance dates specified in the Services Agreement, and any such dates will be estimates only.
Client will: (a) cooperate with Service Provider in all matters relating to the Services; (b) respond promptly to any Service Provider request to provide information, approvals, authorizations, or decisions that are reasonably necessary for Service Provider to perform Services in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement; (c) provide such client materials or information as Service Provider may request to carry out the Services in a timely manner and ensure that such customer materials or information are complete and accurate in all material respects; and (d) comply with all applicable laws in relation to the Services.
If Service Provider’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of Client or its Participants (as that term is defined in the Services Agreement), Service Provider will not be deemed in breach of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise liable for any costs, charges or losses sustained or incurred by Client, in each case, to the extent arising directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay.
If either party wishes to change the scope or performance of the Services, it will submit details of the requested change to the other party in writing. Service Provider will, within a reasonable time after such request, provide a written estimate to Client of: (i) the likely time required to implement the change; (ii) any necessary variations to the fees and other charges for the Services arising from the change; (iii) the likely effect of the change on the Services; and (iv) any other impact the change might have on the performance of this Agreement. Promptly after receipt of the written estimate, the parties will negotiate and agree in writing on the terms of such change (a “Change Order”). Neither party will be bound by any Change Order unless mutually agreed upon in writing. Notwithstanding, Notwithstanding, Service Provider may, from time to time, change the Services without the consent of Client provided that such changes do not materially affect the nature or scope of the Services, or the fees or any performance dates set forth in the Services Agreement or any supplemental document to such Services Agreement, including all itineraries.

Client agrees to reimburse Service Provider for all reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Service Provider in connection with the performance of the Services. Client will pay all invoiced amounts due to Service Provider according to the payment schedule and terms as provided for in the Service Agreement or, if the Service Agreement does not provide a payment schedule, within the timeframe set forth on the Service Provider’s invoice. Client will make all payments hereunder in US dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds, check, or cashier’s check. In the event payments are not received by Service Provider within 14 days after becoming due, Service Provider may: (i) charge interest on any such unpaid amounts at a rate of 5% per month or, if lower, the maximum amount permitted under applicable law, from the date such payment was due until the date paid; and (ii) suspend performance for all Services until payment has been made in full.
Client will be responsible for all sales, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state or local governmental entity on any amounts payable by Client hereunder.
a. Termination for Convenience. Client may terminate this Agreement by delivering thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Service Provider. In the event of termination, Client acknowledges and agrees that any and all payments made hereunder are non-refundable. Client will remain liable for all outstanding expenses incurred by Service Provider on behalf of Client, or any Participant, but Client will not be liable for the balance of remaining payments, if any.
b. Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement due to the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) bankruptcy or insolvency of either party; or (b) in the event the other party materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within five (5) days of written notice thereof. A material breach includes, but is not limited to, violations of law or covenants contained in any signed documentation between the parties. In the event that this Agreement is terminated for cause by Service Provider due to Client’s material breach hereunder, Client will remain liable for all outstanding expenses properly incurred by Service Provider on Client’s behalf.
