Subscription Fees and Payments
Subscription Fees. Customer will pay to CFO Scoreboard the applicable annual subscription fee (in effect at the time of purchase or renewal) associated with the type of subscription for the Application Service purchased by Customer (the "Subscription Fee").
Payment Terms; Taxes. Customer will pay the Subscription Fee for the Initial Term in advance on the date of Customer's initial purchase of a subscription to the Application Service. Prior to the date of commencement of each Renewal Term, CFO Scoreboard will provide email notice to Customer of the upcoming Renewal Term and the Subscription Fee payable for such Renewal Term. Customer agrees that, unless Customer terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 8 below prior to the date of commencement of a Renewal Term, Customer will pay the Subscription Fee for the Renewal Term in advance on the date of commencement of such Renewal Term and CFO Scoreboard is authorized to charge the credit card on file for Customer for the amount of the Subscription Fee. Any additional fees for subscription upgrades or additional services purchased by Customer during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term will be due and payable on the date of purchase of such upgrades or additional services, and will apply for the remainder of the then-current Initial Term or Renewal Term. Failure of Customer to pay any amounts when due under this Agreement shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. Customer will pay interest at a rate of 1.5% per month, of, if less, the maximum rate permitted by law, on any unpaid amount to CFO Scoreboard under this Agreement for such time as the outstanding balance remains past due. All amounts payable by Customer to CFO Scoreboard are exclusive of applicable sales, use, value-added and other taxes assessed on the provision of the Application Service by CFO Scoreboard under this Agreement, and Customer agrees to pay any applicable taxes as invoiced by CFO Scoreboard. If Customer asserts a tax exemption with respect to any such taxes, Customer will furnish CFO Scoreboard with a valid tax exemption for each jurisdiction in which it is claiming an exemption.
Term and Termination
Term. The term of this Agreement will commence on the date of Customer's initial purchase of a subscription for the Application Service and, subject to any earlier termination of the Agreement under this Section 8, will continue for a period of one (1) year thereafter (the "Initial Term"), and will automatically renew for consecutive one (1) year renewal periods thereafter unless a party notifies the other party prior to the end of the then-current annual period of its election not to renew (each renewal period will be referred to as a "Renewal Term"; and the Initial Term and any and all Renewal Terms will be referred to collectively as the "Term").
Termination for Breach. This Agreement may be terminated by a party immediately upon notice to the other party if the other party is in material breach of this Agreement and has failed to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after notice of the breach.
Termination for Convenience. CFO Scoreboard may terminate this Agreement at any time for its convenience (i.e., for no reason) upon delivery of at least ten (10) days' prior written notice to Customer.
Effect of Termination.
Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, (A) all Subscription Fees and other amounts payable to CFO Scoreboard under this Agreement through the effective date of termination or expiration shall become immediately due and payable, and (B) the licenses granted to Customer under Section 2 will terminate automatically. In the event the Agreement is terminated by Customer under Section 8(b) or by CFO Scoreboard under Section 8(c), CFO Scoreboard will refund the portion of any pre-paid Subscription Fees attributable to periods following the effective date of such termination (calculated on a pro-rata basis). Except as otherwise provided in the preceding sentence, all Subscription Fees are non-refundable to Customer.
Customer shall be responsible for retrieving all necessary Customer Data from the Application Service prior to termination or expiration this Agreement. Customer acknowledges that following termination or expiration of this Agreement all remaining Customer Data may be deleted from CFO Scoreboard's systems in accordance with CFO Scoreboard's standard practices.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, termination or expiration of this Agreement will not affect any of the parties' respective rights or obligations that (A) are vested pursuant to this Agreement as of the effective date of such termination or expiration (including obligations for payment and remedies for breach of this Agreement); or (B) arise under Sections 3, 4, 6(b), 7(b), 8(b) and 10 through 22 of this Agreement, all of which will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
