16. Fees and Payment 

16.1 Payment. You will pay us the Service fees and other items (“Fees”) in accordance with the applicable Order Form(s). Fees for the Services shall be as set forth in an Order Form and do not include taxes or any third-party provider fees, unless set forth in the Order Form. Any discounts described in the Order Form are for the initial term of the Order only unless otherwise stated in the Order Form. Fees are stated and must be paid in United States Dollars. You must pay any base, minimum, or fixed Fees associated stated in your Order Form even if you do not use the Services.

16.2 Method of Payment.Unless you have made other arrangements with us, you must authorize and maintain a current valid means for us to collect the Fees via payment card, or ACH at all times during the Term. We may charge the fees on or after the following times: (i) for fixed monthly recurring fees, the first day of each billing cycle, (ii) if applicable, for usage fees, and other variable fees, the last day of each billing cycle, or more often if the usage fees are unusually high for the Customer’s account type, (iii) for one-time fees (such as set up fees), the day you submit an Order that includes the Fee, and (iv) for hourly fees, at the time stated in the Order, or if no time is stated, on completion of the hourly services described in the Order.

16.3 Scope of Usage. If applicable, Usage-based Fees are established by counting the units associated with the ordered Services in the Order. If, during the term of an Order, your usage exceeds the quantity of units in the Order, the Fees will increase based on the applicable price per Unit. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, the additional Fees will commence on the date you first exceeded its quantity of units set forth in the Order and be prorated for the remainder of the applicable term.

16.4 Taxes. All Fees are exclusive of taxes, and Customer shall pay or reimburse us for all taxes arising out of the Services. If you are required to withhold or deduct any taxes from the payment of any Fees, you will increase the amount payable to us by the amount of such taxes, so that we receive the full amount of all Fees. If you have the legal obligation to pay or collect taxes for which you are responsible, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by you, unless you provide us with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. Our failure to initially invoice you for any applicable taxes does not relieve you from responsibility for such taxes under this Agreement.

16.5 Late Payments. We may suspend or terminate your Service or the Agreement if your payment is overdue, including, without limitation, if our charge to your payment card or account is rejected. We may charge interest on overdue amounts at the lesser of 1.0% per month or the highest non-usurious amount permitted by applicable law. We shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorney fees in any action of collection pursuant to this Agreement. We may, at our discretion, also require you maintain a valid method of automatic payment for the duration of our relationship.

16.6 General. Fees are non-refundable. If the Order is terminated prior to the end of the Term then, unless the termination was by us for convenience, or by you for our breach, then you must pay the balance of any Fees. 

16.7 Reductions in Services for Ownership or Management Changes. During the term of this agreement, if there’s a change in management or ownership of any subsidiary or property specified in the Order Form, you may request to terminate services for the affected subsidiary or property. To do this, you must provide us with written notice at least 30 days prior to your desired service termination date. We reserve the right to request evidence of the management or ownership change. Your request for service reduction may be denied if the provided proof does not satisfactorily demonstrate the change and its legal implications. If we accept your request, you are obligated to pay the Fees until either (i) the termination date you specified, or (ii) 30 days after we acknowledge receiving your termination notice, whichever is later. If you request a service reduction and less than half of the current Term has passed, you will incur a penalty if this reduction leads to lower total monthly subscription fees. The penalty will be equal to three months of subscription Fees based on the reduced service level. However, no penalty will apply if you facilitate an introduction between us and the new manager or owner, and they agree to continue the Services.

17. General 

17.1 Assignment. You may not assign or otherwise transfer the Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without our consent.

The acquiring company shall be fully bound by all of its terms and conditions without the need for further consent or approval. The acquiring company shall be obligated to adhere to the terms of this Agreement from the date of acquisition or takeover.

17.2 Entire Agreement/Severability/Conflict: The Agreement, including the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, entered into with us in connection with the use of Services, constitutes the entire agreement between you and us concerning the Services.

In the event of a conflict between the Terms of Use and the Order Form, the BAA, or the Privacy Policy, the Terms of Use shall prevail.

17.3 No Waiver. No waiver of any term in the Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

17.7 Dispute Resolution. For any dispute you have with us, including those related to the Agreement, you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. Unless resolved by mutual efforts of the parties hereto, disputes or claims that may arise out of or in connection with the Agreement, the laws of the State of Illinois will govern these Terms of Use, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws. You agree that any action (not governed by Section 17) arising out of the Agreement, or your use of the Services shall be brought in state or federal court in Chicago, Illinois, and you consent to the jurisdiction of such courts. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
