For example, we may use the Marketing Fee in the following manners: (i) conducting local, regional or national advertising, promotional or brand building programs of any kind; (ii) developing, maintaining, administering, directing, preparing, or reviewing advertising and marketing materials, promotions and programs; (iii) public awareness of any of the Camp Margaritaville Intellectual Property; (iv) public and consumer relations and publicity; (v) brand development; (vi) research and development of technology, products and services; (vii) website and application development and search engine optimization; (viii) development and implementation of quality control programs; (ix) changes and improvements to the Camp Margaritaville System; (x) the fees and expenses of any advertising agency we engage, in our discretion, to assist in producing or conducting advertising or marketing efforts; (xi) any other programs or activities that we deem necessary or appropriate to promote or improve the Camp Margaritaville System; and (xii) our or our affiliates' expenses associated with direct or indirect labor,
administrative, overhead or other expenses incurred in connection with promotional, marketing or advertising efforts or any of the foregoing activities, including working with public relations firms, advertising agencies, advertising placement services, and creative talent.

We retain sole authority to direct the Marketing Program, with sole control over the creative concepts, materials, and media used and the placement and allocation of marketing programs. We reserve the right to use any media, create any programs, and allocate advertising and promotional expenditures to any regions or locales we deem appropriate. We do not use any marketing funds from your contributions principally for the solicitation of new franchisees.
You must advertise and promote the Resort in a commercially reasonable manner and participate in any systemwide marketing and promotional programs we periodically establish.
Before you use them, you must obtain our approval of all advertising, marketing, promotional, and public relations plans, programs, and materials that you desire to use or in which you or the Resort desire to participate and which reference any of the Camp Margaritaville Intellectual Property.
