Subscription; Payments.
Subscription Term and Fees. The Service is provided on a subscription basis for the term specified in Customer’s Order Form (the “Subscription” and the “Subscription Term”). During the Subscription Term Customer shall pay the Company the applicable fees set forth in the Order Form (the “Fees”). Unless expressly indicated otherwise, Fees are stated in US dollars. Customer hereby authorizes the Company, either directly or through the Company's payment processing services, to charge the Fees via Customer’s selected payment method, upon the due date. Unless expressly set forth herein, the Fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable. The Company reserves the right to change the Fees at any time, upon notice to Customer, provided that any increase shall only become effective upon the end of the then-applicable Subscription Term.
Subscription Auto-Renewal. In order to ensure that Customer will not experience any interruption or loss of services, Customer’s Subscription shall automatically renew by default, unless canceled by either the Company or the Customer at least 30 days prior to its expiration, for a renewal period equal in time to the original Subscription Term (excluding any renewal period) at the then applicable Fee.
Taxes. The Fees are exclusive of any and all taxes (including without limitation, value added tax, sales tax, use tax, excise, goods and services tax, etc.), levies, or duties (the “Taxes”), except for income tax imposed on the Company. If Customer is located in a jurisdiction which requires Customer to deduct or withhold Taxes or other amounts from any amounts due to the Company, Customer shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall make reasonable efforts to avoid any such Tax withholding, provided, however, that in any case, Customer shall bear the sole responsibility and liability to pay such Tax and such Tax shall be “grossed up” and added on top of the Fees payable by Customer.
Payment Terms. The Fees set forth in each Order Form are final. Customer shall pay each invoice according to the payment terms set forth in the Order Form. Unless otherwise set forth in the Order Form, the Fees shall be paid annually, in advance, upon receipt of an invoice. All Fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable, unless required otherwise by mandatory law. Delinquent payments may bear compounded interest, as of the payment due date and until paid in full, at a rate equal to the lower of: (i) 1.5% per month, or (ii) the highest rate permitted by law. The aforesaid shall not derogate from any other right or remedy to which the Company may be entitled. Customer will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company in collecting any payment. The Service shall be made available to Customer for the applicable Subscription Term only following receipt by the Company or the amounts due by Customer.
Credit Card. Credit card details may be needed to complete an order, and the Service will be available to Customer following successful completion of billing. Customer will be notified accordingly. Customer authorizes the Company to continue to charge its credit card or any replacement card upon the beginning of each billing period for the agreed amount of such period, but failure to charge Customer’s card does not derogate from Customer’s payment obligation.
Termination
Termination for Cause. A breach of obligations by either party hereto which is not cured within 10 days from receiving notice thereof, shall entitle the non-breaching party to immediately terminate these Terms by written notice. Notwithstanding, if a party files for petition or action for relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law or any other law for the relief of, or relating to, debtors, now or hereafter in effect, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or takes or becomes subject to any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing, the other party will be entitled to terminate these Terms immediately by written notice.
Termination or Suspension by Company. Company may terminate or suspend Customer’s use of and access to the Service (or any part thereof) immediately, without prior notice or liability, if Customer breaches, or fails to comply with, any of the provisions contained in these Terms, and in each of the following events: (i) the Company believes, in its sole discretion, that Customer or any third party is using the Service in a manner that may impose a security risk, may cause harm to the Company or any third party, and/or may create any liability to the Company or any third party; (ii) if the Company believes, in its sole discretion, that Customer or any third party is using the Service in breach of these Terms or applicable laws; or (iii) if the Company is unable to charge the Fees through Customer’s approved payment means or if any payment is or is likely to become overdue. The aforementioned rights are in addition to any rights and remedies that may be available to the Company in accordance with these Terms and/or under any applicable law.
Termination by Customer. Customer may terminate its Subscription to the Service by cancelling its Subscription, whereby termination will take effect at the end of the then-current Subscription Term and shall not derogate from Customer’s obligation to pay the applicable Fees for the Subscription Term.
Effect of Termination. Unless expressly indicated otherwise in these Terms, the termination or expiration of these Terms shall not relieve Customer from its obligation to pay due Fees. Upon termination or expiration of these Terms, Customer’s Subscription and all rights granted to Customer and the Users hereunder shall terminate, and Customer shall cease to have access to the Service and any Customer Data and shall remove any Service components from Customer’s systems. Customer is solely responsible to export all available Customer Data prior to such termination or expiration, and following termination or expiration, the Company may delete the Customer Data without retaining any copy thereof. In addition, Customer shall return or destroy, at Company’s choice, Company’s Confidential Information (as defined below) then in Customer’s possession and Customer shall have no claim against the Company in this regard.
Survival. All the provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination (including, without limitation, confidentiality, ownership and intellectual property, warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability) shall remain in full force and effect following termination thereof, for any reason whatsoever. Termination of these Terms shall not relieve Customer from any obligation arising or accruing prior to such termination or limit any liability which Customer otherwise may have to the Company.
Confidentiality
Confidential Information. For purposes of these Terms, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean any and all non-public business, product, technology and marketing data and information, whether written, oral or in any other medium disclosed or otherwise provided by either party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”), that is either identified as such or should reasonably be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information shall not include any information which the Receiving Party can prove: (a) is publicly available at the time of disclosure or subsequently becomes publicly available through no act or omission of the Receiving Party in breach of these Terms; (b) is already known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure; (c) is disclosed to the Receiving Party free from confidentiality obligations by a third party who is not, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party, in breach of an obligation of confidentiality; or (d) was or is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reliance upon the Confidential Information.
Confidentiality Obligations. Receiving Party undertakes and warrants that: (i) it shall hold the Confidential Information of Disclosing Party in confidence and shall take all reasonable steps to safeguard and protect the Confidential Information including, without limitation, those steps that it takes to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature; (ii) it shall not disclose or otherwise provide any Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, except to those of its employees who have a need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of fulfilling this Agreement and provided that such employees are bound by written confidentiality obligations which are at least as restrictive as those contained herein; (iii) it shall not copy or use the Confidential Information for any purpose except to the extent required to perform its obligations, or exercise its rights, hereunder, whilst maintaining the Disclosing Party’s interests; and (iv) if the Receiving Party is requested or legally compelled to disclose any Confidential Information pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body, the Receiving Party shall make best efforts to provide the Disclosing Party prompt notice thereof, and, at the request and expense of the Disclosing Party, uses reasonable efforts to limit such disclosure to the extent requested. Receiving party’s obligations with respect to Confidential Information shall expire five (5) years from the date of termination or expiration of the last Subscription Term, unless under applicable law a longer period of protection applies.
Right to Disclose. Company reserves the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information that it obtains in connection with the Service as the Company reasonably believes necessary to: (i) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, subpoena or governmental request, (ii) enforce this Agreement, including to investigate potential violations hereof, (iii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, (iv) respond to Customer’s support requests, and/or (v) protect the rights, property or safety of the Company, its users or the public.
