  LiteAPI does not charge per-API-call subscription fees. Access starts with a
  free sandbox API key for testing, and live access uses a commission/markup
  revenue model: sellers set a margin (percentage markup) on net rates and earn
  that margin as commission on each completed booking. A margin of 0 returns
  net rates; any positive margin produces a commissionable rate. Commissions on
  confirmed bookings (guest has checked out) are paid out weekly, with no
  booking fees. Enterprise plans add volume terms and white-label options.
notes: >-
  Exact commission terms, payout schedule, and any enterprise minimums should
  be verified with LiteAPI / Nuitée during reconciliation; pricing here reflects
  the publicly documented commission/markup model rather than fixed list prices.
