7. TERM AND TERMINATION 

A. Term of Agreement. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Sections 7 or 13.C, this Agreement commences on the date Customer first accepts it and continues until all subscriptions hereunder have expired or have been terminated.

B. Term of Purchased Subscriptions. The term of each subscription shall be as specified in the applicable Order Form. Except as otherwise specified in an Order Form, subscriptions will automatically renew for additional periods equal to the expiring subscription term or one year (whichever is shorter), unless either party gives the other notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the end of the relevant subscription term. The per-unit pricing during any automatic renewal term will be the same as that during the immediately prior term unless SOSPES has given Customer written notice of a pricing increase at least 30 days before the end of that prior term, in which case the pricing increase will be effective upon renewal and thereafter.

C. Termination. A party may terminate this Agreement for cause (i) upon 30 days written notice to the other party of a material breach if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such period, (ii) if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (iii) Customer makes an unauthorized assignment of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, Sospes will retain Customer Data for a maximum of 30 days. At Customer’s written request, Sospes will provide raw Customer Data to Customer electronically in Sospes’ standard comma delimited format. Alternate formats will be provided on a fee basis. After expiration of the 30 day period, Customer agrees that SOSPES has no obligation to retain Customer Data, which may be irretrievably deleted. After the support or Services subscription period expires, Customer has no further rights to receive any updates or upgrades.

D. Refund or Payment upon Termination. If this Agreement is terminated by Customer in accordance with Section 7.C (i) or (ii), SOSPES will refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all Order Forms after the effective date of termination. If this Agreement is terminated by SOSPES in accordance with Section 7.C, Customer will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all Order Forms. In no event will termination relieve Customer of Customer’s obligation to pay any fees payable to SOSPES for the period prior to the effective date of termination.

E. Effect of Termination / Data Deletion. On the termination of this Agreement for any reason: (A) all rights granted to Customer under this Agreement, including its ability to access any data stored in the Software or Services, will immediately terminate; and (B) Customer must promptly discontinue all use of the Software or Services and delete or destroy any SOSPES Confidential Information. Upon termination of the Agreement, SOSPES will have no obligation to maintain or provide Customer Data, and shall have the option to thereafter delete or destroy all copies of Customer Data in SOSPES’s systems or otherwise in its possession or control, unless legally prohibited. Termination of the Agreement will not entitle Customer to any refunds, credits, or exchanges except as provided for in 7.D. above.

8. FEES AND PAYMENT FOR PURCHASED SERVICES 

A. Fees. Customer will pay all fees specified in Order Forms. Except as otherwise specified herein or in an Order Form, (i) fees are based on Services purchased regardless of actual usage, (ii) payment obligations are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable, and (iii) quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term.

B. Invoicing and Payment. Customer will provide SOSPES with valid and updated credit card information, or with a valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably acceptable to SOSPES. If Customer provides credit card information to SOSPES, Customer authorizes SOSPES to charge such credit card for all Services listed in the Order Form for the initial subscription term and any renewal subscription term(s) as set forth in Section 7.B (Term of Purchased Subscriptions). Such charges shall be made in advance, either annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable Order Form. If the Order Form specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, SOSPES will invoice Customer in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order Form. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, invoiced charges are due net 15 days from the invoice date. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to SOSPES and notifying SOSPES of any changes to such information.

C. Overdue Charges. If any invoiced amount is not received by SOSPES by the due date, then without limiting any rights or remedies, (a) those charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, and/or (b) SOSPES may condition future subscription renewals and Order Forms on payment terms shorter than those specified in Section 8.B (Invoicing and Payment).

D. Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any amount owing by Customer under this or any other agreement for Services is 30 or more days overdue (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of

amounts Customer has authorized SOSPES to charge to Customer’s credit card), SOSPES may, without limiting any other rights and remedies, accelerate Customer’s unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend the Services to Customer until such amounts are paid in full. SOSPES will give Customer at least 10 days’ prior notice that the account is overdue before suspending Services.

E. Payment Disputes. SOSPES will not exercise its rights under Section 8.C (Overdue Charges) or 8.D (Suspension of Service and Acceleration) above if Customer is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.

F. Taxes. SOSPES’s fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder. If SOSPES has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer are responsible under this Section 8.F, SOSPES will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides SOSPES with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, SOSPES is solely responsible for taxes assessable against SOSPES based on SOSPES’s income, property and employees.

9. SUSPENSION OF SERVICE 

SOSPES may suspend the Services: (a) if SOSPES deems it necessary to prevent or terminate any Prohibited Use; or (b) upon notice to Customer if: (i) Customer commits a material breach of this Agreement; or (ii) if SOSPES receives credible notice from a third party or agency that Customer is in material breach of the Agreement. Suspension of Services shall be without prejudice to any rights or liabilities accruing prior to or during the suspension, including Customer’s obligation to pay fees. SOSPES may temporarily suspend the Services for maintenance purposes. SOSPES will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any such disruption of Services. Upon suspension for any reason, SOSPES will provide Customer with written notice specifying the reason for the suspension. Customer will not be entitled to any Service Credits under the Service Level Agreement that Customer might have otherwise accrued during the suspension period.

Customer acknowledges that SOSPES’s pricing, services access codes and Intellectual Property are SOSPES’s Confidential Information. The party receiving Confidential Information (“Receiving Party”) will exercise the same degree of care and protection for the Confidential Information of the party that has disclosed Confidential Information (“Disclosing Party”) that it exercises with its own Confidential Information but no less than a reasonable degree of care. The Receiving Party may not directly or indirectly disclose, copy, distribute, republish, sell, license or otherwise allow any third party access to such Confidential Information. The Parties agree to maintain the confidentiality as described herein for two (2) years after the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, either party may disclose Confidential Information: (1) to its employees, contractors or agents who have a need to know in order to provide and improve the Services and are subject to substantially similar obligations of confidentiality; and (2) if required by law (including a court order or subpoena), provided, the Receiving Party, where lawfully permitted, promptly notifies the Disclosing Party in time to review and challenge the potential disclosure. In the event of any termination or expiration of this Agreement, each party will either return or, at the Disclosing Party’s request, destroy the Confidential Information of the other party; provided however, that SOSPES may retain copies of Customer’s Confidential Information for routine backup and archival purposes.

11. PRIVACY
