6. 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 in addition to the any initial setup fees. Payments may be made annually or monthly, 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 SalesOptima 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 using the Upgrade Wizard in the Account Settings Module. 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 a prorated amount calculated at the daily rate from the day the user/s are added to the next billing cycle date. SalesOptima 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. This notice may be provided by e-mail. All pricing terms are confidential, and you agree not to disclose them to any third party. Additional fees may apply to accounts where the number of contacts and/or leads exceeds the maximum number allowable. The number of maximum allowable contacts is determined by the SalesOptima (Express Stratus, Stratus, Cirrus, or Nimbus) you have chosen. Additional fees may apply if the document storage exceeds an aggregate total of 75 megabytes per user.

7. Billing & Renewal

SalesOptima charges and collects in advance for use of the Service. SalesOptima will automatically renew and bill your credit card or issue an invoice to you (a) every month for monthly licenses, (b) every monthly for annual licenses that are billed monthly, (c) each year on the subsequent anniversary for annual licenses billed annually, or (d) as otherwise mutually agreed upon. Annual contracts automatically renew unless written notification is received from the account holder a minimum of 5 business days before the contract is due to renew. The renewal charge will be equal to the then-current number of total User licenses times the license fee in effect during the prior term, unless SalesOptima 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. SalesOptima’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 SalesOptima’s income. You agree to provide SalesOptima 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, SalesOptima reserves the right to terminate your access to the Service in addition to any other legal remedies. 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.

8. Non-Payment & Suspension

In addition to any other rights granted to SalesOptima herein, SalesOptima 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 5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection, including but not limited to court costs and attorney’s fees. You will continue to be charged for User licenses during any period of suspension. If you or SalesOptima 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 SalesOptima may charge such unpaid fees to your credit card or otherwise bill you for such unpaid fees. SalesOptima reserves the right to impose a reconnection fee in the event you are suspended and thereafter request access to the Service. You agree and acknowledge that SalesOptima 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.

9. Termination upon Expiration/Reduction in Number of Licenses

This Agreement commences on the Effective Date. For SalesOptima Express Stratus, Stratus, Cirrus, and Nimbus licenses, 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 SalesOptima’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 event this Agreement is terminated (other than by reason of your breach), SalesOptima 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 SalesOptima has no obligation to retain the Customer Data, and may delete such Customer Data, more than 30 days after termination. If a termination request is made prior to the expiration of the current Licensing term, a termination fee will be charged that is equal to all monthly fees remaining of the current term.

10. Breach of Agreement

Any breach of your payment obligations or unauthorized use of the SalesOptima Technology or Service will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. SalesOptima, 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. You agree and acknowledge that SalesOptima 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.
