3. FEES


3.1 Fees. Customer will pay all fees specified in an Order. Except as otherwise specified herein or in an Order, (i) fees are based on Services and Content subscriptions purchased and not actual usage, (ii) payment obligations are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable, and (iii) quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term.

3.2 Invoicing and Payment. Customer will provide SaaSWorks with valid and updated credit card information, or with a valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably acceptable to SaaSWorks. If Customer provides credit card information to SaaSWorks, Customer authorizes SaaSWorks to charge such credit card for all Services listed in the Order Form for the initial term and any renewal term(s) as set forth in the “Term and Termination” section below or the Order. Such charges shall be made in advance, either annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable Order. If the Order specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, SaaSWorks will invoice Customer in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order. Unless otherwise stated in the Order, invoiced fees are due net 30 days from the invoice date. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to SaaSWorks and notifying SaaSWorks of any changes to such information.

3.3 Payment Information. You will keep your contact information, billing information and credit card information (where applicable) up to date. Changes may be made on your Billing Page within your SaaSWorks account. All payment obligations are non-cancelable and all amounts paid are non-refundable, except as specifically provided for in this Agreement. All fees are due and payable in advance throughout the Term. If you are a SaaSWorks Solutions Partner that purchases on behalf of a client, you agree to be responsible for the Order Form and to guarantee payment of all fees.

3.4 Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any charge owed by Customer under this or any other agreement for Services is 30 days or more overdue (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of amounts Customer has authorized SaaSWorks to charge to Customer’s credit card), SaaSWorks may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, accelerate Customer’s unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Services until such amounts are paid in full, provided that, other than for customers paying by credit card or direct debit whose payment has been declined, SaaSWorks will give Customer at least 10 days’ prior notice that its account is overdue, in accordance with the “Notices” section below for billing notices, before suspending services to Customer.

3.5 Overdue Charges. If any invoiced amount is not received by SaaSWorks by the due date, then without limiting SaaSWorks’ rights or remedies, (a) those 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, and/or (b) SaaSWorks may condition future subscription renewals and Orders on payment terms shorter than those specified in the Sections above.

3.6 Payment Disputes. SaaSWorks will not exercise its rights under the Overdue Charges or Suspension of Service and Acceleration section if Customer is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.

3.7 Tax. All fees are exclusive of taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use, or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). You agree to pay any Taxes associated with your purchases hereunder. If SaaSWorks has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, SaaSWorks will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides SaaSWorks with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, SaaSWorks is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property, and employees.

We will provide you with notice of non-payment of any amount due. Unless the full amount has been paid, we may suspend your access to any or all of the Services ten (10) days after such notice.

  4. is consuming excessive bandwidth, or
  5. is causing harm to us or others,
    then we may, with electronic or telephonic notice to you, suspend all or any access to the Service.


We will try to limit the suspension to the affected portion of the Service and promptly resolve the issues causing the suspension of the Service. Nothing in this clause limits our right to terminate for cause as outlined above, if we determine that you are acting, or have acted, in a way that has or may negatively reflect on or affect us, our prospects, or our customers.

If we terminate this Agreement for cause, you will promptly pay all unpaid fees due through the remainder of the term of all Order Forms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

You shall not accept any settlement that (i) imposes an obligation on us; (ii) requires us to make an admission; or (iii) imposes liability not covered by these indemnifications or places restrictions on us without our prior written consent.

SaaSWorks will defend Customer against any claim, demand, suit, or proceeding made or brought against Customer by a third party alleging that any Service infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights (a “Claim Against Customer”), and will indemnify Customer from any damages, attorney fees, and costs finally awarded against Customer as a result of, or for amounts paid by Customer under a settlement approved by SaaSWorks in writing of, a Claim Against Customer, provided Customer (a) promptly gives SaaSWorks written notice of the Claim Against Customer, (b) gives SaaSWorks sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against Customer (except that SaaSWorks may not settle any Claim Against Customer unless it unconditionally releases Customer of all liability), and (c) gives SaaSWorks all reasonable assistance, at SaaSWork’s expense.
