  • Term of Purchased Services. The term of the Purchased Services (as defined in Section 10 below) shall be as specified in an applicable Order. Except as otherwise specified in an Order, subscriptions will automatically renew for additional periods equal to the expiring subscription term or one year (whichever is shorter), unless either Party gives the other notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the end of the relevant Term.
  • Termination Without Cause. This Agreement may be terminated without cause during the Trial Offer period. Thereafter, You may terminate this Agreement, effective for the next Renewal Term, by notifying RecruitOps in writing at least 30 business days prior to the expiration of the current Term. RecruitOps reserves the right to terminate this Agreement effective as of the end of the then-current Term by 30 days advance notice thereof. Unless this Agreement is terminated within the first 30 days of the subscription Term, You will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the Term of all Orders. In no event will termination relieve You of Your obligation to pay any fees payable to RecruitOps under Section 10 herein.
  • Termination for Cause. Any breach of Your payment obligations or unauthorized use of the Hosted Service will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. RecruitOps may terminate this Agreement, Your account(s), or Your use of the Hosted Service if You commit a material breach of this Agreement or otherwise fail to comply with this Agreement, and such breach has not been cured within 30 days after notice of such breach.
  • Data Deletion. Upon termination or at anytime other time upon Your written request, RecruitOps will delete or destroy Your Data.

10. FEES AND PAYMENTS FOR PURCHASED SERVICES.

You agree to pay for Purchased Services as set forth in Your Order. “Purchased Services” means Customization Services, Implementation Services, and/or access in the form of a subscription(s) to the Hosted Service and features, if any, that You purchase under an Order, as distinguished from those provided pursuant to a Trial Offer. Except as otherwise specified herein or in an Order, (i) fees for the provision of Hosted Services are based on the number of subscriptions purchased and not actual usage, (ii) fees are payable in the form of currency so designated on the Order, (iii) fees associated with Customization Services or Implementation Services are cancelable and refundable up until RecruitOps has commenced work, at which time such fees become non-cancelable and sums paid are non-refundable, (iv) unless You notify RecruitOps of its desire to cancel within the Trial Offer period, all fees for the provision of Hosted Services due under this Agreement are non-cancelable and the sums paid nonrefundable, (iv) quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term.
  • Taxes. You agree to pay any sales, value-added or other similar taxes imposed by applicable law that RecruitOps must pay based on the Hosted Service subscriptions You ordered, except for taxes based on RecruitOps’s income. Fees for the Hosted Service listed in an Order are exclusive of taxes and expenses.
  • Future Functionality. You agree that you have not relied on the future availability of any services, programs or updates in entering into the payment obligations in the ordering document; however, the preceding does not relieve RecruitOps of its obligation to deliver services that You have ordered per the terms of the Agreement.

11. BILLING AND RENEWAL.

  • Billing. You will provide RecruitOps with valid and updated credit card information or an alternative means of payment reasonably acceptable to us. If You provide credit card information to us, You authorize us to charge such credit card for all Purchased Services listed in the Order for the initial Term and any Renewal Term. If the Order specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, RecruitOps will invoice You in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order. Unless otherwise stated in the Order, invoiced charges are due net 30 days from the invoice date. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to us and for notifying us of any changes to such information.
  • Renewal. Upon the expiration of a Term, the Term will automatically renew for an additional period equal to the expiring subscription term (a “Renewal Term”). The subscription pricing during any automatic Renewal Term will be the same as that during the immediately prior Term unless RecruitOps has given You written notice of a pricing increase at least 30 days before the end of that prior Term, in which case the pricing increase will be effective upon renewal and thereafter.
  • Late Payments and Disputes. Unless You are disputing applicable charges reasonably made in good faith and are cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute, late payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less). RecruitOps reserves the right to suspend the Hosted Service if any such dispute is not resolved within 30 days from the date any payment was due. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, RecruitOps shall have no liability to You for any loss or damages You suffer as a consequence of such suspension.

12. Third Party Providers

  • Network Availability. RecruitOps enables You to more effectively manage your legal practice. RecruitOps does not provide Your computer network or any computing equipment. As such, RecruitOps does not guarantee that You can access the Hosted Service or that You can continue to access the Hosted Service at any time. If Your computer network or computer equipment is defective or otherwise is not functioning, the service agreement between Your computer network and/or computer equipment service provider and You shall provide for Your sole remedy.

Neither party will use or disclose the other party’s Confidential Information without the other party’s prior written consent, except for the purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement or if required by law or court order, in which case, the party being compelled to disclose Confidential Information will give the other party as much notice as is reasonably practical prior to disclosing such information.
