In the event this Agreement is terminated (other than by reason of your breach), HUB Software reserves the right to withhold, remove and/or discard Customer Data without notice for any breach, including, without limitation, your non-payment. Upon termination for cause, your right to access or use Customer Data immediately ceases, and HUB Software shall have no obligation to maintain or forward any Customer Data.
5. Intellectual Property Ownership
HUB Software alone (and its licensors, where applicable) shall own all right, title and interest, including all related Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the HUB Software Technology, the Content and the Service and any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, feedback, recommendations or other information provided by you or any other party relating to the Service. This Agreement is not a sale and does not convey to you any rights of ownership in or related to the Service, the HUB Software Technology or the Intellectual Property Rights owned by HUB Software. The HUB Software name, the HUB Software logo, and the product names associated with the Service are trademarks of HUB Software or third parties, and no right or license is granted to use them.
6. Third Party Interactions
During use of the Service, you may enter into correspondence with representatives of the Service. Any such activity, and any terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such activity, is solely between you and the applicable third-party. HUB Software and its licensors shall have no liability, obligation or responsibility for any such correspondence, purchase or promotion between you and any such third-party. HUB Software does not endorse any sites on the Internet that are linked through the Service. HUB Software provides these links to you only as a matter of convenience, and in no event shall HUB Software or its licensors be responsible for any content, products, or other materials on or available from such sites. HUB Software provides the Service 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 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 must be made as agreed unless otherwise mutually agreed. All payment obligation amounts paid are non-refundable. 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 HUB Software with valid credit card or approved purchase order information as a condition to signing up for the Service. An authorised License Administrator may add licenses by executing an additional written Order Form. Added licenses will be subject to the following: (i) added licenses will be coterminous with the pre-existing 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. HUB Software 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. Excess Data Storage Fees
The maximum disk storage space provided to your organisation at no additional charge is 5 GB. If the amount of disk storage required exceeds these limits, you will be charged the then-current storage fees. HUB Software will use reasonable efforts to notify you when the average storage used per license reaches approximately 90% of the maximum; however, any failure by HUB Software to so notify you shall not affect your responsibility for such additional storage charges. HUB Software reserves the right to establish or modify its general practices and limits relating to storage of Customer Data.
9. Billing and Renewal
HUB Software charges and collects in advance for use of the Service. HUB Software will automatically renew and bill your credit card or issue an invoice to you each billing period (this can be either yearly or on a monthly basis) or as otherwise mutually agreed upon. 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 HUB Software 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. HUB Software's fees are inclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, taxes.
You agree to provide HUB Software 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 and authorised 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, HUB Software 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.
10. Non-Payment and Suspension
In addition to any other rights granted to HUB Software herein, HUB Software 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 1.0% 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 User licenses during any period of suspension. If you or HUB Software 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 HUB Software may charge such unpaid fees to your credit card or otherwise bill you for such unpaid fees.
HUB Software 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 HUB Software 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.
11. Termination upon Expiration/Reduction in Number of Licenses
This Agreement commences on the Effective Date. 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 HUB Software'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. You agree and acknowledge that HUB Software has no obligation to retain the Customer Data, and may delete such Customer Data, more than 30 days after termination.
12. Termination for Cause
Any breach of your payment obligations or unauthorised use of the HUB Software Technology or Service will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. HUB Software, 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, HUB Software may terminate a free account at any time in its sole discretion. You agree and acknowledge that HUB Software 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.
