Fee for Services. Upon enrollment in the Program, User will pay an annual subscription fee (the “Fee”) of $7,500 to participate in the Program. This Fee will be directly billed to User via Marriott’s monthly franchise bill. For any automatically renewed Participation Period (see below), the Fee will be the amount then in effect as determined by Marriott. Marriott will provide User with advance written notice of any Fee adjustment.
Participation Period and Automatic Renewal. User’s participation in the Program will be effective for an initial period of twelve (12) months starting on the date the Program is live on the MI Careers Site and, unless prohibited by applicable law, will automatically renew for additional consecutive 12-month periods (each, a “Participation Period”) at the then current Fee, unless User provides Marriott at least sixty (60) calendar days’ prior written notice of non-renewal. If user provides timely notice of non-renewal, this Agreement will terminate at the end of the then-current Participation Period.
