  1. Marketing Practices. In connection with your participation in the Program, you are required to comply with the following marketing practices:

 

  1. Email Marketing – Any email marketing relating to citizenM or any of its Hotels can only be done to your customers that have opted-in to receive email marketing from you and any such email marketing must look and feel like your website rather than sent from citizenM.

 

  1. Domain and Subdomain Names – You are not permitted to use misspellings or confusingly similar terms of the citizenM portfolio of brands to create a false impression that the misspelt domain is a citizenM official website.

 

  1. Destination URL Selection – You are not permitted to send traffic directly to any citizenM website in any language and therefore any internet marketing traffic you generate must land on your own website first.

 

  1. Use of Marks – You will not attempt to use or register any term, alone or as a part of any other trademark, service mark, or domain name, which is the same as or confusingly similar to any brand, trademark, domain name or keyword of citizenM or any of its portfolio properties or brands (the “Marks”), including but not limited the brand names, trademarks, domain names and keywords listed in Exhibits A and B. You will not use any of the Marks, directly or indirectly, in any way in connection with your business or operations unless previously approved by citizenM expressly in writing and, in the event of such approval, only in the manner and at such times as shall be prescribed in such approval. Any Marks or citizenM-related content on your website(s) not sourced by citizenM that influences your organic placement on search engines should only be displayed in the normal course of business, and not to suggest or imply that your website is a citizenM website or to unfairly influence organic placement for search results. You will abide by any trademark usage guidelines and practices relating thereto provided by citizenM to you in writing, as such guidelines may be amended by citizenM from time to time in its sole discretion. You will promptly remedy any failure to conform to such guidelines and practices. You will not harm, disparage, or bring into disrepute the goodwill or reputation of any of the Marks.

 

  1. Search Engine Marketing – You will not bid on, purchase or otherwise use any of the Marks in connection with any search engine optimization practices, search retargeting based on the fact that a consumer had searched for a Mark, paid search advertising or any other form of on-line or other advertising, including, without limitation, as on-line identifiers, "metatags," "scumware," "spyware," vanity addresses, social media site pages, on-line handles or similar designations of source, or any other service that results in such party being referenced in regard to internet searches for the Marks or attracts internet users to citizenM websites, call centers or other services. You will actively apply negative keywords for all of the Marks (and common misspellings thereof) within any internet search engine through which you run on- line search campaigns. For the avoidance of doubt, you agree to add, across all platforms:

    1. negative phrase match for each of the core brand keywords of citizenM listed on Exhibit B;

    2. negative phrase match for each of the Marks listed on Exhibit B, and common misspellings thereof;

    3. negative exact match for citizenM’s combination of terms set forth on Exhibit B;

    4. negative phrase match across all your platforms for unique citizenM hotel property names set forth on Exhibit B. 

    5. Exhibit B may be updated from time to time at citizenM’s sole discretion. After receiving each updated list from citizenM, you will promptly apply negative keywords in accordance with this paragraph and such updates. You will regularly monitor your search query reports for broad matches to citizenM’s Marks and add negatives accordingly. You are solely responsible for ensuring full compliance with this section by your affiliates, distributors and subcontractors.

  2. Representations – In no event will you make or extend any representations or warranties of any kind on citizenM or any of its Hotel’s behalf.

  5. Rebates - All advertising of citizenM discounts must match citizenM’s advertised discounts. Any rebates offered by your website must be shown as a discount off of the Hotel rates as posted by the Hotel (i.e. you may not display Hotel rates other than the relevant rates provided by the Hotel) and must be clearly separated and identified as paid by your website. For the sake of clarity, you may not discount Hotel rates.

  6. Cash Back Promotions/Marketing - You will not advertise or offer any cash payments as a reward, discount or promotion.

  7. DSAs and Toolbars – You may not advertise any Hotels or use any Marks in connection with a downloadable software application, browser toolbar, or browser plug-in.

  8. Endorsements and Testimonials – You will comply with the following requirements in the use of an Endorsement or Testimonial. “Endorsement” or “Testimonial” (collectively “Testimonial”) means any advertising message (including but not limited to consumer testimonials, celebrity or expert endorsements, blogs, verbal statements, demonstrations, or depictions of the name, signature, likeness or other identifying personal characteristics of an individual or the name, logo or seal of an organization) that consumers are likely to believe reflects the opinions, beliefs, findings, or experience of a party other than citizenM.
