3.5 Suspension from Services
Any use of the Services in breach of the foregoing by Customer or Users that in INDEVITY’s judgment threatens the security, integrity or availability of INDEVITY’s services, may result in INDEVITY’s immediate suspension of the Services, however INDEVITY will use commercially reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, to provide Customer with notice and an opportunity to remedy such violation or threat prior to any such suspension. INDEVITY will not be held liable for the loss of data resulting from a permanent suspension from Services as defined in this section.
INDEVITY will not provide any refunds for unused services remaining after a permanent suspension resulting from malignant, harmful or damaging behavior.
FEES AND PAYMENT
4.1 Fees.
Customer will pay all fees as specified in Purchase Agreement(s). Except as otherwise specified in Purchase Agreement (i) fees are based on Services and Content subscriptions purchased and not 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.
4.2 Invoicing and Payment.
Customer will provide INDEVITY with valid and updated credit card information, or with other proof of future payment as is deemed acceptable by INDEVITY. If Customer provides credit card information, Customer authorizes INDEVITY to charge such credit card for all Purchased Services listed in the Purchase Agreement for the initial subscription term and any renewal subscription term(s) as set forth in the “Term of Purchased Subscriptions” section below. Such charges shall be made in advance, which may be (a) as soon as payment method is received for new users or (b) up to 30 days prior to the end of a subscription period (and beginning of a renewal period) for renewing customers. A servicing fee may be applied if the total of Customer credit card payments exceeds $10,000 in a given 12-month period. Unless specified in the Purchase Agreement the servicing fee shall not exceed 5% of the total of all purchases made on the credit card.
If the Purchase Agreement specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, INDEVITY will invoice Customer in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Purchase Agreement. Unless otherwise stated in the Purchase Agreement, invoiced fees are due 30 days from the invoice date, meaning “net 30.” Invoicing for renewal periods shall occur no more than 60 days prior to the renewal date.
4.3 Overdue Charges and Acceleration
If any invoiced amount is not received by INDEVITY by the due date, then without limiting INDEVITY’s rights or remedies, (a) those charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 2% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, and/or (b) INDEVITY may condition future subscription renewals and Purchase Agreements on payment terms shorter than those specified in the “Invoicing and Payment” section above.
If any charge owing by Customer under this or any other agreement for services is 30 days or more overdue, (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of amounts Customer has authorized INDEVITY to charge to Customer’s credit card), INDEVITY may, without limiting its 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 Services until such amounts are paid in full, provided that, other than for customers paying by credit card or direct debit whose payment has been declined, INDEVITY will give Customer at least 10 days’ prior notice that its account is overdue, in accordance with the “Manner of Giving Notice” section below, before suspending services to Customer.
4.4 Taxes.
INDEVITY’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 INDEVITY has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, INDEVITY will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides INDEVITY with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. If INDEVITY is unaware of a legal obligation to collect taxes at the time the Purchase Agreement is executed, INDEVITY shall invoice Customer separately for the taxable amount, Customer will then pay the taxable amount to INDEVITY in accordance with the terms specified in the “Invoicing and Payment.” If taxes charged by INDEVITY are found to be incorrect, Customer and INDEVITY shall make all reasonable efforts to settle the excess or deficiency promptly.
For clarity, INDEVITY is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property and employees.
TERM AND TERMINATION
5.1 Term of Agreement.
This Agreement commences on the date Customer first accepts it and continues until all subscriptions hereunder have expired or have been terminated.
5.2 Term of Purchased Subscriptions.
The term of each subscription shall be as specified in the applicable Purchase Agreement. Except as otherwise specified in a Purchase Agreement, 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 written notice (email acceptable) at least 30 days before the end of the relevant subscription term.
Except as expressly provided in the applicable Purchase Agreement, renewal of promotional or discounted subscriptions will be at INDEVITY’s applicable list price in effect at the time of the applicable renewal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any renewal in which subscription volume or subscription length for any Services has decreased from the prior term will result in re-pricing at renewal without regard to the prior term’s per-unit pricing.
5.3 Termination.
A party may terminate this Agreement for cause if (i) upon 30 days written notice to the other party of a material breach such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such period, or (ii) 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.

If this Agreement is terminated by INDEVITY for cause in accordance with the “Termination” section above, Customer will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all Purchase Agreements to the extent permitted by applicable law. In no event will termination relieve Customer of its obligation to pay any fees payable to INDEVITY for the period prior to the effective date of termination.

CONFIDENTIALITY
7.1 Definition of Confidential Information.
“Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information of Customer includes Customer Data; Confidential Information of INDEVITY includes the Services and Content, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Purchase Agreements (including pricing). Confidential Information of each party includes business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-disclosure obligations set forth in this “Confidentiality” section apply to Confidential Information exchanged between the parties in connection with the evaluation of additional INDEVITY services.
7.2 Protection of Confidential Information.
As between the parties, each party retains all ownership rights in and to its Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to (i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Purchase Agreement to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s or accountant’s compliance with this “Confidentiality” section.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, INDEVITY may disclose the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Purchase Agreement to a subcontractor or Non-INDEVITY Application Provider to the extent necessary to perform INDEVITY’s obligations under this Agreement, under terms of confidentiality materially as protective as set forth herein.
7.3 Compelled Disclosure.
The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND DISCLAIMERS

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AND EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. CONTENT AND BETA SERVICES AND SOFTWARES OFFERED AS PART OF FREE SERVICES OR TRIAL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” AND “AS AVAILABLE” EXCLUSIVE OF ANY WARRANTY WHATSOEVER.
MUTUAL INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 Indemnification by INDEVITY.
INDEVITY shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Customer, its parent company and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), and judgments based on third party claims that Customer’s authorized use of the Software violates or infringes any U.S. patent that has issued as of the Effective Date, copyright, trademark, or trade secret; provided that (i) Customer gives INDEVITY prompt written notice of the claim; (ii) INDEVITY has full and complete control over the defense and settlement of the claim; (iii) CUSTOMER provides assistance in connection with the defense and settlement of the claim as INDEVITY may reasonably request; and (iv) CUSTOMER complies with any settlement or court order made in connection with the claim (e.g., relating to the future use of any infringing materials). INDEVITY shall have the right to settle the claims of any claimant(s) in its sole and absolute discretion.
INDEVITY will have no obligation under this “Mutual Indemnification” for any infringement to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon: (1) any unauthorized combination, operation, or use of the Software if such infringement would have been avoided but for such combination, operation, or use; (2) designs, requirements, or specifications for the Software required by or provided by Customer, if the alleged infringement would not have occurred but for such designs, requirements, or specifications; (3) use of the Software outside of the scope of the Purchase Agreement; (4) Customer’s failure to use the latest release of the Software or to comply with instructions provided by INDEVITY, if the alleged infringement would not have occurred but for such failure; or (5) any modification of the Software not made by INDEVITY where such infringement would not have occurred absent such modification. Customer will reimburse INDEVITY for any costs or damages that result from these actions. This “Mutual Indemnification” states INDEVITY’s sole and exclusive liability, and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, for the actual or alleged infringement by INDEVITY of any third-party intellectual property right by the Software.
9.2 Indemnification by Customer.
Customer will defend INDEVITY and its Affiliates against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against INDEVITY by a third party alleging (a) that any Customer Data or Customer’s use of Customer Data with the Services, infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights, or arising from Customer’s use of the Services or Content in an unlawful manner or in violation of the Agreement, the Documentation, or Purchase Agreement (each a “Claim Against INDEVITY ”), and will indemnify INDEVITY from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against INDEVITY as a result of, or for any amounts paid by INDEVITY under a settlement approved by Customer in writing of, a Claim Against INDEVITY, provided INDEVITY (a) promptly gives Customer written notice of the Claim Against INDEVITY, (b) gives Customer sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against INDEVITY (except that Customer may not settle any Claim Against INDEVITY unless it unconditionally releases INDEVITY of all liability), and (c) gives Customer all reasonable assistance, at Customer’s expense. The above defense and indemnification obligations do not apply if a Claim Against INDEVITY arises from INDEVITY’s breach of this Agreement, the Documentation or applicable Purchase Agreements.
