7. Third Party Interactions
During use of the Service, you may enter into correspondence with, purchase

Any such activity, and any terms, conditions, warranties or
representations associated with such activity, is solely between you
and the applicable third-party. VanillaSoft and its licensors shall
have no liability, obligation or responsibility for any such
correspondence, purchase or promotion between you and any such
third-party. VanillaSoft does not endorse any sites on the Internet
that are linked through the Service. VanillaSoft provides these links
to you only as a matter of convenience, and in no event shall

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.
8. Charges and Payment of Fees
You shall pay all fees or charges to your account in accordance with the
fees, charges, and billing terms 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 User licenses requested times the User license fee
currently in effect. Payments may be made annually, monthly, or
quarterly, consistent with the Initial Term, or as otherwise mutually
agreed upon. You are responsible for paying for all User licenses
ordered for the entire License Term, whether or not such User licenses
are actively used. You must provide VanillaSoft with valid credit card
or approved purchase order information as a condition to signing up for
the Service. An authorized License Administrator may add licenses by
executing an additional written Order Form or using the Online Order
Center. Added 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. VanillaSoft 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.
9. Excess Data Storage Fees
The maximum disk storage space provided to you at no additional charge is
the greater of 50 MB or an aggregate of 10 MB per User license. If the
amount of disk storage required exceeds these limits, you will be
charged the then-current storage fees. VanillaSoft will use reasonable
efforts to notify you when the average storage used per license reaches
approximately 90% of the maximum; however, any failure by VanillaSoft
to so notify you shall not affect your responsibility for such
additional storage charges. VanillaSoft reserves the right to establish
or modify its general practices and limits relating to storage of
Customer Data.
10. Billing and Renewal
VanillaSoft charges and collects in advance for use of the Service. VanillaSoft
will automatically renew and bill your credit card or issue an invoice
to you (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 User licenses
times the then-current license fee in effect at the time of renewal.
Fees for other services will be charged on an as-quoted basis.
VanillaSoft'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 VanillaSoft's income.
You agree to provide VanillaSoft with complete and accurate 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 License 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,
VanillaSoft reserves the right to terminate your access to the Service
in addition to any other legal remedies.
Unless VanillaSoft in its discretion determines otherwise 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") and 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
VanillaSoft ("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.
11. Non-Payment and Suspension
In addition to any other rights granted to VanillaSoft herein, VanillaSoft
reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement and your
access to the Service if your account becomes delinquent (falls into
arrears). Delinquent invoices (accounts in arrears) are subject to
interest of 1.5% 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 User licenses during any period of
suspension. If you or VanillaSoft 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 VanillaSoft may charge such unpaid fees to your
credit card or otherwise bill you for such unpaid fees.
VanillaSoft reserves the right to impose a reconnection fee in the event you are suspended and thereafter request access to the Service. You agree and
acknowledges that VanillaSoft 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.
12. Termination upon Expiration/Reduction in Number of Licenses
This Agreement commences on the Effective Date. The Initial Term will be as
you elect during the online subscription process or as otherwise
mutually agreed upon, commencing on the date you agree to pay for the
Service 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
VanillaSoft'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 Service 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), VanillaSoft 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 VanillaSoft has
no obligation to retain the Customer Data, and may delete such Customer
Data, more than 30 days after termination.
13. Termination for Cause
Any breach of your payment obligations or unauthorized use of the
VanillaSoft Technology or Service will be deemed a material breach of
this Agreement. VanillaSoft, in its sole discretion, may terminate your
password, account or use of the Service if you breach or otherwise fail
to comply with this Agreement. In addition, VanillaSoft may terminate a
free account at any time in its sole discretion. You agree and
acknowledge that VanillaSoft 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.
