If requested by Cloudbyz, Customer shall confirm such deletion and discontinuance of use in writing and Cloudbyz shall be authorized to provide a copy of such confirmation to any such third party claimant or governmental authority, as applicable.

4. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

4.1. Professional Services. As mutually agreed by the Parties, and in conjunction with the Services, Cloudbyz may perform Professional Services, which may include implementation, training, or other consulting services. Such Professional Services shall be provided for a separate fee, which will be specified in an applicable Order Form or statement of work. Such Professional Services shall be provided in a manner that is consistent with applicable industry standards, and if such standards are not met (with a reasonable opportunity to cure following written notice from Subscriber), Subscriber’s sole remedy shall be the re-performance of such Professional Services.

5. FEES AND PAYMENT

5.1. 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 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.

5.2. Payment Methods. At a time mutually agreeable to the Parties, CLOUDBYZ agrees to submit invoices and/or accept payment by the following methods:

– Electronic Data Interchange (“EDI”)

– Company Check

Prior to EDI transmission, CLOUDBYZ shall execute an EDI Trading Partner Agreement with Subscriber under terms and conditions acceptable to both Parties. Each Party shall bear its own costs, and provide its own appropriate equipment and software necessary to accomplish EDI capability.

5.3. Invoicing and Payment. Fees will be invoiced in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order Form. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, fees are due net 30 days from the invoice date. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Cloudbyz and notifying Cloudbyz of any changes to such information.

5.4. Suspension of Service. If any charge owing by Customer is 30 days or more overdue, Cloudbyz may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend Services until such amounts are paid in full, provided that, other than for customers paying by credit card or direct debit and whose payment has been declined, Cloudbyz has given Customer at least 10 days’ prior notice that its account is overdue in accordance with the “Notices” section below.

5.5. Payment Disputes. Cloudbyz will not exercise its rights under the “Overdue Charges” or “Suspension of Service” section above if Customer is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.

Cloudbyz'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. Subscriber shall be financially responsible for all sales or services taxes that are assessed on the provision of the Services to Subscriber, excluding any withholding or export taxes or taxes based upon CLOUDBYZ’s income. To the extent CLOUDBYZ is required to collect such taxes under applicable law, CLOUDBYZ, to the extent legally or otherwise required, shall separately state the amount of tax due on its invoices to Subscriber. Subscriber and CLOUDBYZ shall cooperate to segregate the fees into: (i) those for taxable Services and (ii) those for nontaxable Services. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other to more accurately determine each Party’s tax liability and to minimize such liability, to the extent legally permissible. In addition, CLOUDBYZ shall provide and make available to Subscriber any information regarding the computation of any such taxes as reasonably requested by Subscriber. CLOUDBYZ shall not pay any taxes based on the Services that Subscriber and CLOUDBYZ disagree on as to whether a tax is due without affording Subscriber a reasonable amount of time after being called upon by the taxing authority to pay such tax to dispute the payment of such tax, at Subscriber’s expense, in the appropriate legal forum.

5.7. Future Functionality. Customer agrees that its purchases are not contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features, or dependent on any oral or written public comments made by Cloudbyz regarding future functionality or features.

THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW.

11. TERM AND TERMINATION

11.1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues until all subscriptions hereunder have expired or have been terminated.

11.2. Term of 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 renewal term will increase by up to 7% above the applicable pricing in the prior term, unless Cloudbyz provides Customer notice of different pricing at least 60 days prior to the applicable renewal term. Except as expressly provided in the applicable Order Form, renewal of promotional or one-time priced subscriptions will be at Cloudbyz’s applicable list price in effect at the time of the applicable renewal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any renewal in which subscription volume 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.

11.3. 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, or (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.

11.4. Suspension of Services. Any unauthorized access, use of passwords or Services, or other abuse or impermissible activity on CLOUDBYZ’s Site or in connection with CLOUDBYZ’s Services may result in immediate suspension or termination of End-User accounts with no refund and without limitation of any other available legal remedies. CLOUDBYZ may suspend Subscriber’s access to any Services until all overdue payments are paid in full. Delinquent invoices are subject to interest of one percent (1.0%) per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection. Subscriber will continue to be charged for the remainder of the term for any delinquent accounts. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that CLOUDBYZ has no obligation to retain User Data and that such User Data, if any, may be irretrievably deleted upon termination of this Agreement. With respect to any Services provided by CLOUDBYZ as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partner on a third-party platform, Subscriber acknowledges that (i) Subscriber’s access to the Services may be suspended due to non-payment by Subscriber to such third-party platform through which CLOUDBYZ Services are accessed or breach of Subscriber’s agreement with such third-party platform, and (ii) in the event such Subscriber’s relationship with the third-party platform through which CLOUDBYZ Services are accessed is terminated as a result of non-payment or other material breach of such Subscriber’s agreement with the third-party platform, such Subscriber’s License to the portion of the Services provided in conjunction with the third-party platform would also be terminated.

11.5. Refund or Payment upon Termination. If this Agreement is terminated by Customer in accordance with the “Termination” section above, Cloudbyz 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 Cloudbyz in accordance with the “Termination” section above, Customer will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all Order Forms. In no event will termination relieve Customer of its obligation to pay any fees payable to Cloudbyz for the period prior to the effective date of termination.

11.6. Surviving Provisions.
