5. NON MAR-KOV PROVIDERS
5.1. Non Mar-Kov Applications and Your Data. If You
install or enable Non Mar-Kov Applications for use with Services, You acknowledge that We may
allow providers of those Non Mar-Kov Applications to access Your Data as required for the
interoperation of such Non Mar-Kov Applications with the Services. We shall not be responsible for
any disclosure, modification or deletion of Your Data resulting from any such
access by non Mar-Kov Application providers. The Services
shall allow You to restrict such access by restricting
Users from installing or enabling such non Mar-Kov Applications for use with the Services.
5.2. Integration with non Mar-Kov
Services. The Services may contain features designed to interoperate with Non
Mar-Kov Applications (e.g., QuickBooks). To use such features, You may be required to obtain access to such non Mar-Kov
Applications from their providers. If the provider of any such non Mar-Kov
Application ceases to make the non Mar-Kov
Application available for interoperation with the corresponding Service
features on reasonable terms, We may cease providing
such Service features without entitling You to any refund, credit, or other
compensation.
6. FEES AND PAYMENT FOR PURCHASED SERVICES
6.1. Fees. You
shall pay all fees specified in all Order Forms hereunder. Except as otherwise
specified herein or in an Order Form, (i) fees are
based on services purchased and not actual usage, (ii) payment obligations are
non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable, and (iii) the number of User
subscriptions purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription
term stated on the Order Form. User subscription fees are based on monthly
periods that begin on the subscription start date and each monthly anniversary
thereof; therefore, fees for User subscriptions added in the middle of a
monthly period will be charged for that full monthly period and the monthly
periods remaining in the subscription term.
6.2. Invoicing and Payment. You will provide Us with valid and updated credit card
information, or with a valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably
acceptable to Us. If You
provide credit card information to Us, You authorize Us to charge such credit
card for all Services listed in the Order Form for the initial subscription
term and any renewal subscription term(s) as set forth in Section 12.2 (Term of
Purchased User Subscriptions). Such charges shall be made in advance, either
annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable
Order Form. If the Order Form specifies that payment will be by a method other
than a credit card, We will invoice You in advance and
otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order Form. Unless otherwise stated
in the Order Form, invoiced charges are due in advance of the Service start
date. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and
contact information to Us and notifying Us of any
changes to such information.
6.3. Overdue Charges. If any charges are not received from You by the due date,
then at Our discretion, (a) such charges may accrue late interest at the rate
of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by
law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date
paid, and/or (b) We may condition future subscription renewals and Order Forms
on payment terms shorter than those specified in Section 6.2 (Invoicing and
Payment).
6.4. Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any amount owing by You under this
or any other agreement for Our services is 30 or more days overdue (or 10 or
more days overdue in the case of amounts You have authorized Us to charge to
Your credit card), We may, without limiting Our other rights and remedies,
accelerate Your unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such
obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Our services to You
until such amounts are paid in full. We will give You
at least 7 days’ prior notice that Your account is overdue, in accordance with
Section 13.2 (Manner of Giving Notice), before suspending services to You.
6.5. Payment Disputes. We shall not exercise Our rights
under Section 6.3 (Overdue Charges) or 6.4 (Suspension of Service and
Acceleration) if You are disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in
good faith and are cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.
6.6. Taxes. Unless
otherwise stated, Our fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar
governmental assessments of any nature, including but not limited to
value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any local, state,
provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction (collectively, "Taxes"). You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with Your purchases hereunder. If We
have the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which You are responsible
under this paragraph, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by
You, unless You provide Us with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by
the appropriate taxing authority.
7. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
7.1. Reservation of Rights in Services. Subject to the limited rights
expressly granted hereunder, We reserve all rights,

Agreement. Subject to the above, We acquire no right,
title or interest from You or Your licensors under this Agreement in or to such

therein.

Party") to the other party ("Receiving Party"), whether orally or in writing, that is designated
as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given
the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Your
Confidential Information shall include Your Data; Our Confidential Information
shall include the Services; and Confidential Information of each party shall
include the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Order Forms, as well
as business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product
plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential
Information (other than Your Data) shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without
breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the
Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of
any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third
party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv)

8.2. Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall use the
same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own
confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable
care) (i) not to use any Confidential Information of
the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, and
(ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, to
limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of
its and its Affiliates’ employees, contractors and agents who need such access
for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality
agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections no less stringent
than those herein. Neither party shall disclose the terms of this Agreement or any
Order Form to any third party other than its Affiliates and their legal counsel
and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent.
8.3. Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information
of the Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so, provided the
Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of such compelled disclosure
(to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing
Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the
Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential
Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a
party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the
Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling
and providing secure access to such Confidential Information.
