6. Fees; Payment; Renewals; Payment Processing
6.1 Fees and Payment
Unless otherwise agreed in an Order, Hovn will charge you fees for the subscription-based Services in advance of providing the Services. Hovn will charge you for Professional Services, if any, on a time and materials basis monthly in arrears unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Order. To the extent the subscription-based Services or any portion thereof is made available for any fee, you will be required to select a payment plan in your Order and provide Hovn information regarding your credit card or other payment instrument. If your Services are priced based on volume, you will be solely responsible for selecting a subscription package based upon your anticipated needs, and any ancillary features you wish to obtain. Certain Services pricing may include additional charges for any volume that exceeds a maximum established between the parties, in which event you shall be charged for such additional volume. Hovn shall not be liable for any inaccurate forecasting or Services package selection made by you. You represent and warrant to Hovn that your payment information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay Hovn the amount that is specified in the payment plan (as well as any applicable taxes) in accordance with the terms of such plan and these Standard Terms. You hereby authorize Hovn to bill your payment instrument in accordance with the terms of the applicable payment plan (as well as any applicable taxes) and these Standard Terms, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred. If you dispute any charges, you must provide written notice to Hovn within fourteen (14) days after the date that Hovn charges you. In the event your Order permits a payment method that is not automatic, you agree that payments are due within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the applicable invoice. Hovn may suspend the Services or terminate these Standard Terms for non-payment by you as set forth in Section 7.3. You will pay a late fee equal to one-and-one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum amount allowed by law, if less, on all past due amounts. You are also liable for all costs of collection incurred by Hovn for past due sums, including without limitation, collection agency fees, reasonable attorneys' fees, and court costs.
6.2 Recurring Subscriptions; Price Changes
Unless otherwise agreed in an Order From, all subscription-based Services automatically renew according to the then-current subscription plan unless you provide written notice of termination at least thirty (30) days prior to your renewal date to Hovn by emailing support@hovn.app. You authorize Hovn to maintain your account information and charge that account automatically upon the renewal of the Services you choose with no further action required by you. Hovn reserves the right to change pricing for the Services upon renewal. If you disagree with the change in price for the Services, then you may terminate such Services by providing Hovn written notice prior to the change in price becoming effective. Your continued use of the Services after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. In the event that Hovn is unable to charge your account as authorized by you when you enrolled in the Services, or your payment is not received by the payment due date, Hovn, may, in its sole discretion: (i) bill you for the Services and suspend your access to the Services until payment is received, and/or (ii) seek to update your account information through third party sources (i.e., your bank or a payment processor) to continue charging your account as authorized by you.
6.3 No Refunds
Unless otherwise agreed in an Order, fees are nonrefundable and there are no credits for partially used volumes or periods.
6.4 Taxes and Other Charges
All amounts payable by you are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties, including VAT and applicable sales tax. You shall be responsible for and shall pay all such taxes and indemnify Hovn from any liability thereon. If you are legally entitled to an exemption from any sales, use, or similar transaction tax, you are responsible for providing Hovn with legally sufficient tax exemption certificates for each taxing jurisdiction. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, you will notify Hovn and will pay Hovn any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount of payment that Hovn receives, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount of payment Hovn would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required. Additionally, you will provide Hovn with documentation showing that the withheld and deducted amounts have been paid to the relevant taxing authority. In no event shall you be responsible for any state or federal income tax incurred by Hovn, due to our relationship with you.
6.5 Payment Processing
Hovn offers the ability to process payments through the Services ("Payment Services"). Payment Processing Services are provided by our third party payment processing partners as Third Party Products (as defined in Section 13) and any procurement by you or your Affiliates will be subject to a separate merchant agreement which will be solely between you (or your Affiliate) and the applicable third party processor. If you use Payment Services you agree that you and your Affiliates will comply with the terms and conditions of any applicable merchant agreements and all applicable card network rules, policies, laws and regulations, at all times while using such Payment Services. In addition to any fees collected by the applicable third party payment processor, Hovn may charge you an administrative fee, which will be calculated and charged on the sales price as described in your applicable order (the "Administrative Fee") and deduct it from the processed payments prior to transferring fees resulting from the transaction amount to you for payout. The Administrative Fee, if any, will be listed on your Order Form. If an Administrative Fee is added during the Term, Hovn will provide written notice to you before any such Administrative Fee is implemented and you may discontinue your use of the Payment Services if you do not agree to such Administrative Fee. If the applicable third-party payment party processing partner does not offer a way for Hovn to automatically deduct Administrative Fees prior to payout, then Hovn will bill you each month for the sum of Administrative Fees due on transactions not automatically deducted during the previous month. Administrative Fees are exclusive of all taxes required by any applicable governmental tax authority to be charged, and Hovn is entitled to the Administrative Fee without reduction for any taxes or government levies, including any taxes described under Section 6.4. To the extent Hovn is responsible for discharging taxes arising from Administrative Fees per applicable law, Hovn may pay such taxes, and you are responsible for reimbursing Hovn. You are responsible for compliance with any all laws and regulations, including without limitation, tax requirements, for the revenue and payments that you receive, and agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Hovn harmless for any breach or alleged breach of thereof.
7. Term & Termination; Suspension
7.1 Term
Unless otherwise specified in the Order, the Initial Term of your subscription will begin on the Effective Date and continue from the Go-Live Date for the time period identified on the Order, and thereafter shall automatically renew for the same time period and/or volume as your prior Order unless either party provides written notice of its intention not to renew to the other party at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the then-current term (each a "Renewal Term", and collectively together with the Initial Term, the "Term").
7.2 Termination

Hovn will endeavor to give you advance notice of pending suspension or termination, unless Hovn determines, in Hovn's reasonable commercial judgment, that a suspension on no or shorter notice is necessary to protect Hovn, its customers, or others.
7.4 Effect of Termination
Upon termination of these Standard Terms: (i) you will cease using the Services; and (ii) each party shall return or destroy all Confidential Information in accordance with Section 8. Termination will not relieve a party from any accrued payment obligations.

Recipient shall use commercially reasonable standards to protect the Confidential Information from disclosure using equal measures as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature. A Recipient may disclose Confidential Information when compelled to do so by law, provided that Recipient shall give the Discloser prior written notice and an opportunity to limit or prevent such compelled disclosure if permitted by law. Each party may also transfer Confidential Information to an acquiring third party as part a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of its assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding.

Any such retained Confidential Information will remain subject to Section 8 (Confidentiality). Upon request, you agree to provide Hovn with written certification by an authorized officer that all information from the Services has been removed and deleted from all of your hardware and storage devices.

Hovn will indemnify, defend and hold you and your Authorized Users harmless against any losses, damages, expenses or liabilities arising from claims that your use of the Hovn Services infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of a third party; provided that, Hovn shall not be required to indemnify you to the extent that the claim was caused by your use of the Hovn Services in violation of these Standard Terms or due to your unauthorized modifications or combinations of the Hovn Services with and into other technologies or services without Hovn's written consent. If Hovn is obligated to indemnify you under this Section 12 or if it reasonably believes it may have liability under this Section 12, Hovn may, in addition to its other obligations hereunder: (i) obtain for you the right to continue using the Hovn Services on a non-infringing basis; or (ii) modify the Hovn Services so they are no longer infringing but of equivalent or better functionality, performance and interoperability.

12.2 By You

12.3 Process
A party seeking indemnity (an indemnified party) must give the indemnifying party prompt written notice of any claim for indemnification under this Section 12; provided that, the failure or delay in doing so will not excuse an indemnifying party of its indemnification obligations except to the extent its ability to defend the claim is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. An indemnified party shall thereafter have the sole right to control the investigation, defense, and settlement of the claim at its sole cost and expense, provided that any settlement unconditionally releases the indemnified party of all liability and does not make any admissions on behalf of the indemnified party or include payment of any amounts by the indemnified party. An indemnified party may retain counsel to represent it on a non-controlling basis at its own cost and expense. An indemnified party shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in the investigation, trial and defense of such claim and any appeal arising therefrom at the indemnifying party's expense.

If any changes to these Standard Terms are unacceptable to you, you may terminate your Order prior to renewal in accordance with Section 7.1. For purpose of this Section 15, the posting of an updated copy of these Standard Terms to the Services shall constitute written notice of the change(s) to these Standard Terms.
16. Miscellaneous
16.1 Notices
Each Party consents to receive all communications including notices, agreements, legally required disclosures or other information in connection with the Services electronically. Hovn may provide such notices by posting them on the Services or at the email address you provided to Hovn.

The Order together with these Standard Terms and any other terms and conditions incorporated into these Standard Terms by reference constitutes the complete agreement between Hovn and you regarding the Hovn Services and supersedes all previous communications between the parties relating to the subject matter herein.
16.3 Assignment
You may not assign these Standard Terms or the rights granted hereunder without Hovn's prior written consent, and any such assignment without consent is void. Hovn's failure to enforce any rights hereunder, irrespective of the length of time for which such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver of those or any other rights.
16.4 Governing Law and Venue
These Standard Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio without reference to its conflicts of law principles or your state or country of residence. Each party hereby consents to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in Cuyahoga County, State of Ohio, United States of America, and you consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in such courts and waive any objection as to inconvenient forum.

You agree that any claim arising out of or related to these Standard Terms must be brought within one (1) year after the date it first accrued.

16.5 Injunctive Relief
Each party acknowledges that a breach by a party of Section 8 (Confidentiality) or Section 9 (Intellectual Property Rights), may cause the non-breaching party irreparable damages, for which an award of damages would not be adequate compensation and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a restraining order, injunctive relief, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, in addition to any other remedy to which the non-breaching party may be entitled at law or in equity. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be exclusive but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, subject to any express exclusions or limitations in these Standard Terms to the contrary.

If any part of these Standard Terms is found unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision(s) will be ineffective to the extent of the court's ruling and the remainder of these Standard Terms will remain in full force and effect. The waiver by a party of any breach of any provision of these Standard Terms will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. The parties' relationship is that of independent contractors. Neither party is an agent for the other, nor does either party have the right to bind the other to any agreement with a third party. Portions of the Services may utilize or include third party software, open source software, and other copyrighted material. Use of such third party or open source software is governed exclusively by their respective terms and not by these Standard Terms. Except for payment obligations, neither party shall be held responsible for any delay or failure in its performance to the extent that such delay or failure is caused by any cause or event beyond its reasonable control.
