OZ provides the Services to you pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You recognize, however, that certain third-party providers of ancillary software, hardware or services may require your agreement to additional or different license or other terms prior to your use of or access to such software, hardware or services.
7. Charges and Payment of Fees You shall pay all fees or charges to your account in accordance with the subscription form which outlines fees, charges, and billing terms that are in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. The initial charges will be equal to the current number of total Store licenses requested times the Store license fee currently in effect. Payments may be made annually, semi-annually, monthly, or quarterly, consistent with the Initial Term, or as otherwise mutually agreed upon. You are responsible for paying for all Store licenses added for the entire License Term, whether or not such store licenses are actively used. You must provide OZ with valid EFT or approved purchase order information as a condition to signing up for the Services. An Account Administrator may add store licenses by executing the add store wizard. Added store licenses will be subject to the following: (i) added licenses will be coterminous with the preexisting License Term (either Initial Term or renewal term); (ii) the license fee for the added licenses will be the then current, generally applicable license fee; and (iii) licenses added in the middle of a billing month will be charged in full for that billing month. OZ reserves the right to modify its fees and charges and to introduce new charges at any time, upon at least 30 days prior notice to you, which notice may be provided by e-mail. All pricing terms are confidential, and you agree not to disclose them to any third party.
8. Billing and Renewal OZ charges and collects in advance for use of the Services. OZ will automatically renew and bill your EFT account (a) every month for monthly licenses, (b) every quarter for quarterly licenses, (c) each year on the subsequent anniversary for annual licenses, or (d) as otherwise mutually agreed upon. The renewal charge will be equal to the then-current number of total Store licenses times the license fee in effect during the prior term, unless OZ has given you at least 30 days prior written notice of a fee increase, which shall be effective upon renewal and thereafter. Fees for other services will be charged on an as-quoted basis. OZ's fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States (federal or state) taxes based solely on OZ's income. You agree to provide OZ with complete and accurate EFT information, billing and contact information. This information includes your legal company name, street address, e-mail address, and name and telephone number of an authorized billing contact and Account Administrator. You agree to update this information within 30 days of any change to it. If the contact information you have provided is false or fraudulent, OZ reserves the right to terminate your access to the Services in addition to any other legal remedies. Unless OZ in its discretion determines otherwise: (i) entities with headquarters and a majority of users resident in the United States will be billed in U.S. dollars and subject to U.S. payment terms and pricing schemes ("U.S. Customers"); all other entities will be billed in U.S. dollars, Euros or local currency and be subject to either U.S. or non-U.S. payment terms and pricing schemes at the discretion of DFYM ("Non-U.S.Customers"). If you believe your bill is incorrect, you must contact us in writing within 60 days of the invoice date of the invoice containing the amount in question to be eligible to receive an adjustment or credit. 9. Non-Payment and Suspension In addition to any other rights granted to OZ herein, OZ reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement and your access to the Services if your account becomes delinquent (falls into arrears). Delinquent invoices (accounts in arrears) are subject to interest of 1.0% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection. You will continue to be charged for Store licenses during any period of suspension. If you or OZ initiates termination of this Agreement, you will be obligated to pay the balance due on your account computed in accordance with the Charges and Payment of Fees section above. You agree that OZ may charge such unpaid fees to your EFT account or otherwise bill you for such unpaid fees. OZ reserves the right to impose a reconnection fee in the event you are suspended and thereafter request access to the Services. You agree and acknowledge that OZ has no obligation to retain Customer Data and that such Customer Data may be irretrievably deleted if your account is 30 days or more delinquent. 10. Termination upon Expiration/Reduction in Number of Licenses This Agreement commences on the Effective Date in the Subscription Form. For Store licenses, the Initial Term will be as you elect in the subscription form or as otherwise mutually agreed upon, commencing on the date you agree to pay for the Services by completing the online subscription form or otherwise. Upon the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive renewal terms equal in duration to the Initial Term (or one year, if the Initial Term is greater than one year) at OZ's then current fees. Either party may terminate this Agreement or reduce the number of licenses, effective only upon the expiration of the then current License Term, by notifying the other party in writing at least five (5) business days prior to the date of the invoice for the following term. In the case of free trials, notifications provided through the Services indicating the remaining number of days in the free trial shall constitute notice of termination. In the event this Agreement is terminated (other than by reason of your breach), OZ will make available to you a file of the Customer Data within 30 days of termination if you so request at the time of termination. You agree and acknowledge that OZ has no obligation to retain the Customer Data, and may delete such Customer Data, more than 30 days after termination. Data can be held by signing up for our data storage service option at the current yearly rate. 11. Termination for Cause Any breach of your payment obligations or unauthorized use of the OZ's Technology or Services will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. OZ, in its sole discretion, may terminate your password, account or use of the Services if you breach or otherwise fail to comply with this Agreement. In addition, OZ may terminate a free account at any time in its sole discretion. You agree and acknowledge that OZ has no obligation to retain the Customer Data, and may delete such Customer Data, if you have materially breached this Agreement, including but not limited to failure to pay outstanding fees, and such breach has not been cured within 30 days of notice of such breach. 12. Representations & Warranties Each party represents and warrants that it has the legal power and authority to enter into this Agreement. OZ represents and warrants that it will provide the Services in a manner consistent with general industry standards reasonably applicable to the provision thereof and that the Services will perform substantially in accordance with the online OZ help documentation under normal use and circumstances. You represent and warrant that you have not falsely identified yourself nor provided any false information to gain access to the Services and that your billing information is correct. 13.
