The Client can order the Services either by subscribing on the Website to a Plan or by signing the Services Order Form.
After subscribing to the Services, the Client will have a free trial period of fourteen (14) calendar days following the creation of the Client's account.
At the end of the free trial period, the Client will automatically be charged for the Plan. If the Client does not want to pay for the Services, it shall end the subscription before the end of the free trial period.

Unless otherwise specified in the Services Order Form, prices are per Active User per calendar month.
For the annual Plans, if the number of Active Users is less than the number of Authorized Users at the end of a calendar month, the Client will receive proportional credits. The credits will be applied to future payments of the Client.
Example : the Client subscribed in April to an annual plan with 10 Authorized Users. Let's say the price per Active User is $6. The Client paid when he subscribed an amount of $720 (10 x $6 x 12). At the end of May, there are only 5 Active Users. The Client will receive credits for the 5 Authorized Users who are not Active Users, therefore a total credit of $30 ($6 x 5). The $30 will be deducted from the next Client's invoice.
Credits are not transferable or refundable. They have no currency or exchange value. If the annual Plan is terminated they will expire.
If the Client increases the number of Authorized Users during the annual Plan, the Client will be billed the following calendar month for such new Authorized Users as if they were Active Users for the remaining term of the Plan.
Example : the Client subscribed in April to an annual plan with 10 Authorized Users. Let's say the price per Active User is $4. The Client paid when he subscribed an amount of $480 (10 x $4 x 12). In May, it adds 5 Authorized Users. In June, the Client will have to pay $220 (5 x $4 x 11).
Prices displayed for the Services are excluding any applicable taxes or charges (including but not limited to value-added, sales, use, or withholding taxes assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever, late payment legal interest fees).
If the Client resides outside the European Union it will be billed in US Dollars.
If the Client resides in the European Union it will be billed in Euros.
The Services must be paid by credit card via the platform of the provided payment provider or via wire transfer.

All invoices are issued electronically and will be sent by email or accessible in the Client's account, which the Client expressly accepts. The Client needs to make sure its information is always up to date.
Full payment must be received within thirty (30) days from the invoice date, otherwise late payment legal interest fees will accrue.
For monthly Plans, the Client will receive a monthly invoice following every calendar month of subscription.
For annual Plans, the Client will receive an invoice shortly after its subscription and the automatic renewal. It will also receive further invoices if Authorized Users are added. This invoice will be sent the month following the calendar month during which the Authorized Users were added.

The Parties shall not be held liable if the non-performance or delay in the performance of any of their obligations, as described in these T&C, results from a case of force majeure including, for example, an act of God, natural disaster, act of war or terrorism, riot or civil arrest, pandemic.
The Party experiencing a case of force majeure must inform the other Party within a reasonable time of its inability to perform its service and justify this to the latter. The suspension of obligations shall in no case be a cause of liability for non-performance of the obligation in question, nor shall it lead to the payment of damages or penalties for delay.
The performance of the obligation is suspended for the duration of the force majeure if it is temporary. Consequently, as soon as the cause of the suspension of their mutual obligations disappears, the Parties shall make every effort to resume normal performance of their contractual obligations as soon as possible. To this end, the Party prevented shall notify the other of the resumption of its obligation. If the impediment is definitive, the impeded Party shall notify the other by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt and these T&C shall be purely and simply terminated upon receipt of such notification.
