If there is a conflict between any Third-Party Terms and the terms of these Terms, then the Third-Party Terms shall prevail, but solely in connection with the related third-party component.

10. Subscription; Payments

Subscription Term and Fees. The Platform is provided on a subscription basis for the term specified in the 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 Fees.
Subscription Upgrade. Customer may upgrade its subscription plans by adding more use cases, features or any other upgrade available, during the applicable subscription period, either: (a) by providing Company with written notice specifying the requested upgrade; or (b) by affecting the upgrade through the Platform (collectively, an “Upgrade”). Any such Upgrade is deemed as a new purchase, and therefore the subscription period of the upgraded plan will restart upon the Upgrade in accordance with the terms of the upgraded plan or tier, and Customer will be billed by Company for the additional fees due in respect of such Upgrade. Certain Upgrades may require the Company’s prior written approval, at the Company’s discretion.
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, which may be imposed in respect of these Terms (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, within thirty (30) days of 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 Platform 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 Platform 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.
Travel Expenses. In addition to the Fees, the Customer shall reimburse the Company within 14 days for all travel expenses incurred by the Company in connection with on-site integration and support by Company’s representatives, including flights, hotels and transportation expenses, against submission of invoices.

11. 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 Platform (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 Platform 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 Platform 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 Platform 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 Platform and any Customer Data and shall remove any Platform 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.

12. Confidentiality

Receiving party’s obligations with respect to Confidential Information shall expire seven (7) years from the date of termination or expiration of the last Subscription Term, unless under applicable law a longer period of protection applies.
