Unless otherwise stated herein, each Party will bear its own costs and expenses in performing its obligations under this Agreement.

5.3 Invoices.

The Subscriber will pay properly submitted, valid invoices within forty-five (45) days after Subscriber’s receipt thereof. If any undisputed amounts remain unpaid and are past due, they shall thereafter bear interest at a rate equal to the lower of: (a) 1% per month, or (b) the rate permitted under applicable law. If any amount is the subject of a dispute between the Parties, and such dispute cannot be resolved promptly, the Subscriber shall pay the amounts due under the applicable invoice, less the disputed amount, and shall advise Vendor in reasonable detail of the reason for the dispute. Vendor shall not invoice Subscriber in advance for Services or expenses without Subscriber’s prior written approval.

5.4 Set-off Rights of Subscriber.

5.5 Taxes.

All amounts payable under the Agreement are exclusive of any value added, goods and services, sales, excise or similar taxes (“Taxes”). If required by any law, statute, or regulation, Vendor will collect from the Subscriber and remit to the appropriate authorities, any Taxes applicable to the provision of the Services. Vendor will issue the required tax invoice to the Subscriber unless the Subscriber provides Vendor with a timely and valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. If the Subscriber has paid such Taxes to Vendor, the Subscriber shall have no other responsibility with respect to such Taxes and Vendor shall be responsible for promptly paying such Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority. If it is later determined that such Tax, or any portion thereof, was not required, Vendor will promptly refund the overpaid amount to the Subscriber together with interest on such amounts at the Late Payment Rate regardless of whether Vendor has recovered such amount from such taxing authority. To the extent applicable law requires any such Taxes to be paid by the Subscriber directly to a governmental authority or to the extent a reverse charge mechanism is available and applicable to the Subscriber, the Subscriber shall account for and pay such Taxes according to applicable legal requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, Vendor will pay income taxes imposed (including by withholding or other means) by any competent governmental authority on any payments made by the Subscriber under this Agreement. If the Subscriber is required by law to withhold or deduct any amount from its payments to Vendor, the Subscriber will provide Vendor with an official tax receipt of other appropriate documentation to support such withholding. The Parties will cooperate to more accurately determine and minimize, to the extent commercially reasonable, their respective tax liability. Each Party will provide tax information or tax documents reasonably requested by the other Party. Each Party will promptly notify the other of any claim for taxes asserted with respect to this Agreement by a taxing authority with jurisdiction over either Party. With respect to any claim arising out of a tax form or return signed by a Party to this Agreement, the signing Party may control the response to and settlement of the claim, but the other Party may participate to the extent it may be liable.

Each Party shall limit disclosure of Confidential Information to its: (i) employees, subcontractors, or agents who have a need to know related to the Parties’ business relationship or (ii) third party auditors or consultants who have a need to know in order to perform their respective contractual obligations for the receiving Party; provided that any person to whom Confidential Information may be disclosed under subsections (i) or(ii) above are subject to a confidentiality agreement, or in the case of a Party’s employees, confidentiality policies, that in either case protects the Confidential Information of the other Party in a manner that is consistent with the terms of this Section. Upon termination of this Agreement or upon the request of the disclosing Party, the recipient of Confidential Information shall promptly deliver to the other Party or destroy any and all such information in its possession or under its control, and any copies made thereof which the recipient of said information may have made, except as the Parties by prior express written permission have agreed to retain. The Parties acknowledge that in the case of Confidential Information communicated through email or which has been scanned or otherwise stored electronically by the receiving Party, the receiving Party’s deletion of (a) email messages from individual mailboxes or(b) documents from its network or individual hard drives will not result in the removal of all copies of such information from the receiving Party’s back-up or archival systems and any such retained Confidential Information shall remain subject to the obligations of confidentiality herein. Neither the receiving Party’s retention of archival copies nor failure to remove copies from its back-up or archival systems will be deemed a breach of this Agreement. Neither Party shall be liable for disclosure of Confidential Information if made in response to a valid order of a court or authorized agency of government; provided that, if available, five (5) days’ notice first be given to the other party so a protective order, if appropriate, may be sought by such Party. The parties acknowledge and agree that a breach of its obligations under this Section may cause harm to the other Party for which monetary damages are not a sufficient remedy.

INFORMATION SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

Compliance
1. Application or service being provided to MI has been reviewed by an independent third party and a compliance
report or certification letter can be provided. (ex. Service Organization Controls (SOC) 1 Type 2 report, SOC 2
Type 2 report, an ISO 27002 review or equivalent).
2. Data Center or Co-location facility used to host the service or application has been reviewed by an independent
third party and a compliance report or certification letter can be provided. (ex. Service Organization Controls
(SOC) 1 Type 2 report, SOC 2 Type 2 report, an ISO 27002 review or equivalent).
3. Vendor allows MI to remotely run non-invasive, credentialed web application/vulnerability scans using industry
accepted tools to test the security of the service or application. Any Critical, High or Medium security issues
discovered by these scans will be remediated within time frames agreed to in coordination with MI. (Typically,
Critical & High flaws within 30 days and Medium flaws within 60 days)
Network Security
4. A firewall exists at each Internet connection and between any demilitarized zone (DMZ) and the internal network
zone.
5. For web applications, an automated solution (such as a web-application firewall) that continually checks traffic to
detect and prevent web-based attacks against externally facing web applications is in place.
6. A formal process is in place for approving and testing all external network connections and changes to the firewall
configuration.
7. Documentation and business justifications exist for the use of insecure services, protocols or ports and includes
documentation of security features implemented to mitigate the risks of using insecure services.
8. Firewall (Security/Network Group) and router rule sets are reviewed at least every six months.
9. MI data is not stored on any system components connected directly to the Internet (i.e. on the web servers or in the
DMZ).
10. A Network Intrusion Detection or Prevention System (NIDS/NIPS) is in place to detect, alert on, and block or initiate
response to potentially malicious activity.
11. For communications via HTTPS (web applications, web services, etc.) only current, non-vulnerable protocols &
ciphers are enabled (i.e. TLS 1.1 or higher).
12. In cloud or co-location environments, all internal data in transit is encrypted. (i.e. end-to-end encryption).
13. Network access (non-console) to systems hosting MI data for administrative purposes use encryption technologies
such as SSH, VPN or TLS for web-based management.
Configuration Management

software.
17. Users have separate accounts for accessing each environment (dev, test, QA, Prod, etc.) with defined and
documented separation of duties between the personnel or functions within each environment.
18. Production MI data is not being used within development environments. Any copies of data used in QA, user
acceptance or staging environments for testing purposes has been properly anonymized (masked) or
pseudonymized (transformed) using security industry-recognized methods.

or vulnerabilities when observed (i.e. an email address is publicly available for submitting security concerns, etc.).
Identity & Access Management
24. For web applications that will allow MI associates to login, the system supports SAML 2.0 to integrate with
Marriott’s Single Sign-On (SSO) solution or an alternative authentication & authorization system is provided that
has been approved by MI and supports MFA for end user access.
25. An access control system has been established that restricts access based on a user’s need to know and is set to
“deny all” unless specifically allowed.
26. Written procedures are in place on user provisioning, authorization and access review processes for the vendors
own systems and for any MI access to the application or service.
27. Passwords require a minimum length and complexity (alphanumeric, unrelated to user ID, contain at least one
number (or special character) and one alpha character, and not all numbers or all characters) based on user type:
a. End Users – minimum 8-characters
b. Privileged Users – minimum of 12-characters
28. User passwords are changed at least every 90 days.
29. The application automatically Removes/disables inactive user accounts at least every 90 days.
30. Passwords do not appear or are masked on the screen when entered.
31. Idle sessions for more than 15 minutes require the user to re-enter the password to re-activate the site or
application.
32. Repeated access attempts are limited by locking out the user ID after 5 attempts within 15 minutes.
33. If a user ID is locked, the lockout duration is a minimum of 30 minutes or until administrator enables the user ID.
34. Users are prevented from using the previous 4 passwords during a password change.
35. The application validates the user identifier and user authenticator as a pair and rejects the logon attempt if the pair
is invalid. The system does not inform the user on which of the two is wrong.
36. All passwords are rendered unreadable (encrypted) during transmission and storage (password hashing) on all
components using NIST approved cryptography.
37. All users are assigned a unique ID before allowing them to access system components. (No shared or group
accounts are used.)
38. Vendor-supplied defaults are changed/removed before installing a system on the network (i.e. passwords, simple
network management protocol (SNMP) community strings, unnecessary accounts, etc.)
39. Remote access to the network or systems that host MI data by employees, administrators or third parties
(contractors) requires multi-factor authentication.
40. All access to web consoles used to manage cloud services are configured to require multi-factor authentication for
access.
System and Application Security
41. Anti-virus software has been deployed on all systems commonly affected by malicious software and is updated at
least weekly with the proper updates or definitions.
42. A file-integrity monitoring (FIM) solution or Host-based IDS has been implemented to detect, alert on, and block or
initiate responses to unauthorized changes, additions, or deletions to critical system files, configuration files, or
audit logs.
43. Marriott production data is stored on a backend file or database server which is physically or virtually different from
the web server.
44. All system components and software have the latest vendor-supplied security patches installed and Critical security
patches are installed within 30 days of release.

confidentiality label or footer added to the report.
Encryption and Key Management
51. NIST approved cryptography is used to protect all MI data during transmission over open, public networks.
52. All MI data is encrypted at rest in storage (including on portable digital media, backup media, logs, etc.) using NIST
approved cryptography (MI does not allow for the use of cipher/protocols that have been proven to be
weak/vulnerable or “home-grown”/non-standard encryption ciphers/protocols/schemes).
