      i. Customer’s or any of its Users’ failure to meet any minimum hardware or software requirements set forth in any specifications or Documentation provided by the Company;
      ii. a lack of network availability between Customer and the Company’s hosting servers or other network traffic problems, as network availability can involve numerous third parties and is beyond the control of the Company;

      iv. Customer’s or User’s misuse of the Service, including use in violation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

From time to time the Company may need to schedule downtime for maintenance, upgrades, enhancement, or any other reason, during which the Service will not be available to Customer (collectively, “Scheduled Downtime”). The Company may schedule such downtime at any time, but will endeavor to provide reasonable notice of any Scheduled Downtime and to conduct Scheduled Downtime outside of Customer’s normal business hours.
    d. UNAVAILABILITY PROCEDURE. If Customer experiences a Service outage and is unable to access the Service, Customer must notify the Company within five (5) business days of such outage through the process set forth in Section 5. The Company will use an internal system to measure the Service’s availability to Customer. Customer agrees this system will be the sole basis for resolution of any dispute that may arise regarding Availability.
    e. CREDIT POLICY. If Availability is not met in any given month, and the proper notification/steps were taken by Customer as outlined in section 4(d), then Customer will receive a prorated credit towards future Service fees for that portion of the recurring Service fees corresponding to the amount of time in such month that Availability was not met. In the event that Availability is not met for any four (4) consecutive months, Customer may terminate the Service without fault upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. The remedies set forth in this Section 4(e) (i.e. the service credit and the limited right to terminate the Agreement), together with the remedies set forth in Section 5 (i.e. the technical support provided by Company for issues that arise), provide Customer’s sole remedies in the event that Availability is not met.

Customer shall reimburse the Company for reasonable expenses related to providing any on-site portion of the Service or related support.
    c. TAXES. Customer understands Customer is responsible for paying all taxes associated with Customer’s purchases hereunder and understands that Customer may be invoiced for such taxes in accordance with Section 6(b). Customer agrees to pay any such sales, value-added or other similar taxes imposed by applicable law. The Company is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on the Company’s income, property, and employees.
    d. OVERDUE FEES. All amounts invoiced hereunder are due upon receipt. If the Company does not receive payment from Customer within the thirty (30) days (“Final Payment Due Date”), the Company may at its sole discretion (i) charge late interest at the rate of two percent (2.0%) of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the Final Payment Due Date until the date paid, and/or (iii) suspend the Service until such outstanding balance is brought current.

Any such new fees will be effective at the beginning of a future calendar month as designated in the notice provided or any such modified fees will be effective at the beginning of the next defined Billing Period in the Order Form in which the existing fees were detailed.
    f. The Company must provide at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Customer before any new or modified fees are implemented. In the event of the addition of any fees not included in an existing Order Form, the Customer shall receive an email containing a new Order Form. If Customer accepts the Order Form or does not respond to the email within ten (10) business days of receipt (the “Response Time”), Customer will be deemed to have accepted the Order Form, and the Order Form shall form part of this Agreement.
