Customer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Advertory against any damages, losses, liabilities, settlements and expenses (including without limitation costs and attorneys’ fees) in connection with any claim or action that arises from an alleged violation of the foregoing or otherwise from Customer’s use of Services. Although Advertory has no obligation to monitor the content provided by Customer or Customer’s use of the Services, Advertory may do so and may remove any such content or prohibit any use of the Services it believes may be (or are alleged to be) in violation of the foregoing.
b) Customer shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment and ancillary services needed to connect to, access or otherwise use the Services, including, without limitation, modems, hardware, server, software, operating system, networking, web servers, web services, long distance and local telephone service (collectively, “Equipment”).

5 Fees, Billing and Renewal

Unless otherwise indicated by Advertory for the relevant Service, Fees for the subscription or use of a Service are payable and remitted to Advertory, as further described immediately below.
Payments made by the Customer under this Agreement exclude any taxes or duties payable in respect of the goods or services supplied in the jurisdiction where the payment is either made or received. To the extent that any such taxes or duties are payable by Advertory, the Customer must pay to Advertory the amount of such taxes or duties in addition to the Service Fees under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Customer may have obtained an exemption from relevant taxes or duties as of the time such taxes or duties are levied or assessed. In such event, Customer shall have the right to provide to Advertory with any such exemption information and Advertory will use reasonable efforts to provide such invoicing documents as may enable the Customer to obtain a refund or credit for the amount so paid from any relevant revenue authority if such a refund or credit is available.
The per-unit pricing, “Active Clients per Month” during any such renewal term shall be the same as that during the prior term unless We have given You written notice of a pricing increase at least 30 days before the end of such prior term, in which case the pricing increase shall be effective upon renewal and thereafter. Any such pricing increase shall not exceed 7% over the pricing for the relevant Services in the immediately prior subscription term, unless the pricing in such prior term was designated in the relevant Order Form as promotional or one-time.

5.1 Monthly Plans

a) Unless otherwise indicated by Advertory, Advertory charges and collects Fees in advance for use of the Service. During any Term, Advertory will automatically renew and bill Customer’s credit card or issue an invoice (a) every month for monthly service, or (b) as otherwise mutually agreed upon. Our charges for monthly plans are posted on our Website and may be changed from time-to-time. Payments are due for the full month for which any part of the month is included in the “Term.” Payments are due for any month on the same date, or the closest date in that month, to the date of the month you signed up with us and made your first monthly payment (the “Pay Date”). If the Term ends before such payment is due, you will still be required to make payment.

b) As long as you are a Customer or have an outstanding balance with us, you agree to at all times provide us with valid credit card information and authorize us to deduct the monthly charges against such credit card and to replace the information for any credit card that expires with information on a different valid credit card. Any individual using a credit card represents and warrants that he or she is authorized to use such credit card and that any and all charges may be billed to such credit card and will not be rejected.
c) Whenever you increase the number of “Active Clients”, it will affect your monthly bill, and will require you to pay the difference in the monthly payment before the next month commences.

5.2 Pay-as-You-Go-Plans

You may elect to buy “Pre Paid” credit to use our Services, as explained on the “Pricing” page of our website, rather than sign up for a monthly plan. If you elect a “Pay-as-You-Go” you will still be considered a Customer and all the terms of this Agreement will still apply to you other than the requirement that you pay us monthly. You will be responsible to ensure you have sufficient credit to use our Service, and Advertory will not be required to provide Services to Customers with insufficient credit.

5.3 Refunds

We are required to provide a refund only if we terminate our Services to you without cause before the end of a month for which you have paid. There is no other circumstance in which you will be entitled to a refund from us. We may, at our sole discretion, offer refunds in other situations subject to any Customer seeking such refund applying for the refund in accordance with the requirements we post on the website, which may be changed from time to time.

6 Non-Payment And Suspention

All payments for Fees shall be due according to the terms in Section 5 (Fees, Billing and Renewal) and as provided on the relevant Service, and shall be deemed delinquent if not received by the due date. In addition to any other rights granted to Advertory herein, Advertory reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement and Customer’s access to the Service if Customer’s account becomes delinquent. Delinquent invoices are subject to interest charges of 1.8% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection. Customer will continue to be charged for Active Clients during any period of suspension. If Customer or Advertory initiates termination of this Agreement, Customer will be obligated to pay the balance due on account computed in accordance with this Section and the Fees, Billing and Renewal Section above. Customer agrees that Advertory may charge such unpaid Fees and charges to Customer’s credit card or otherwise bill Customer for such unpaid Fees and charges. Customer agrees and acknowledges that Advertory has no obligation to retain Customer Data and that such Customer Data may be irretrievably deleted if Customer’s account becomes delinquent for over a period of 12 months.

7 Term, Terminiation and Removal

a) Either party may terminate the Term of this Agreement at any time for any reason by providing Notice to the other party. We may suspend our Services to you at any time with or without cause. We will refund a pro rata portion of your monthly prepayment or reimburse you for Active Client Credits if we terminate you without cause. We will not refund and/or reimburse you in such manner, if there is cause. Once terminated, we may remove any of your Data and files from our Website and any other storage. Additionally, if you do not log in to your account for 12 or more months, we may deem your account delinquent and permanently delete your account and all data associated with it.

b) Any breach or delinquency of Customer’s payment obligations or unauthorized use of the Advertory Technology or Service will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. Advertory, in its sole discretion, may terminate Customer’s password, account or use of the Service and this Agreement if Customer breaches or otherwise fails to comply with this Agreement. In addition, Advertory may terminate a free account at any time in its sole discretion. Customer agrees and acknowledges that Advertory has no obligation to retain the Customer Data, and may delete such Customer Data, if Customer has 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 payment delinquency or notice of such breach.
