The parties acknowledge that any such modifications will improve the Services and agree that, in the event that the Service Provider has made any such modifications to a Service during a given year of the relevant Subscription Term as indicated in the Order Form, the fees due for that Service shall, as of the one-year anniversary date of the Order Form's Effective Date immediately following implementation of such modification, automatically increase to an amount equal to the fees due during the immediately prior Subscription Term plus an additional seven percent (7%).
5.2 Removing a Material Feature or Functionality. In the event that, in the context of the continuous development of and innovation to the Services, Service Provider removes a material feature or functionality of a Service, it shall provide Customer with two (2) months prior notice before implementing such removal, unless security, legal, or system performance considerations require an expedited removal. With regard to such removal, the fee increase of Section 5.1 ("Continuous Development and Innovation") above shall not apply.
6. FEES AND PAYMENT
6.1 Fees. Customer shall pay all fees specified in Order Forms, at the time indicated in each Order Form. For each Service purchased under an Order Form, the fees may consist of any or a combination of (i) a monthly rate per contracted user, (ii) an annual recurring fee, and/or (iii) a one-time fee. Except as otherwise specified herein or in an Order Form and to the greatest extent permissible under applicable law, (i) fees are based on Subscriptions purchased and not actual usage, (ii) payment obligations are non-cancellable and fees paid are non-refundable, and (iii) quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant Subscription Term other than as explicitly provided in this Agreement or in an applicable Order Form.
6.2 Actual Users. Notwithstanding the above, except as otherwise specified in an applicable Order Form, and to the greatest extent permissible under applicable law, monthly fees shall accrue for all actual Users provided that the number of actual Users is greater than the number of Contracted Users. Actual Users are the actual number of Users of a Service that Customer uses. Contracted Users indicated in an Order Form will be adjusted by Customer on a quarterly basis to reflect any increase in actual Users.
6.3 Invoicing and Payment. Customer agrees to pay at the time indicated in each Order Form all fees due from Customer thereunder. If not otherwise indicated in the Order Form, all payments are due thirty (30) days as from the invoice date.

6.4 Overdue Charges. If any invoiced amount is not received by Service Provider by the due date, then without limiting Service Provider’s rights or remedies, (i) those charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower, and/or (ii) Service Provider may condition future Subscription renewals and Order Forms on payment terms shorter than those specified above.
6.5 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 Service Provider to charge to Customer’s credit card), Service Provider 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, Service Provider will give Customer at least ten (10) days’ prior notice that its charges are overdue, in accordance with the “Manner of Giving Notice” section below for billing notices, before suspending Services to Customer.
6.6 Payment Disputes. Service Provider will not exercise its rights under the “Overdue Charges” or “Suspension of Service” sections above if Customer is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.
6.7 Taxes. Service Provider's fees do not include any 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”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder. Customer agrees to hold Service Provider harmless from all claims and liability arising in connection with Purchaser’s failure to report or pay such Taxes. If Service Provider has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, Service Provider will invoice Customer and Customer shall pay that amount unless Customer provides Service Provider with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

9. SECURITY, PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION
9.1 Security. Service Provider shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures, physical safeguards, internal controls, and data security routines for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Customer Data. Those safeguards shall include, but shall not be limited to, measures designed to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of Customer Data (other than by Customer or Users).
9.2 Customer Data Responsibility. Customer is solely responsible for the content of all Customer Data. Customer shall secure and maintain all rights in Customer Data necessary for Service Provider to provide the Services to Customer and any Users without violating the rights of any third party or otherwise obligating Service Provider to Customer or to any third party. Service Provider does not and will not assume any obligations with respect to Customer Data or Customer's use of the Services other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement or as required by applicable law. Without prejudice to the foregoing, Service Provider reserves the right to monitor the content of any Customer Data provided via the Services and, at its sole discretion, to withhold, remove, and discard any such Customer Data without notice in case of non-compliance with the Agreement.
9.3 Privacy and Data Protection. Each party undertakes to comply with its respective obligations under the Data Protection Legislation.
For the processing activities where Service Provider, in the context of its tasks, is a data processor processing personal data on behalf of Customer within the meaning of the Data Protection Legislation, by signing this Agreement, by purchasing a Subscription, or accessing and using the Services and the associated website, applications and tools, the parties conclude the Data Processing Agreement under Annex 1 to this Agreement, which complies with Article 28 of the GDPR, and agree to amend such Data Processing Agreement in case of changes to the processing activities performed by Service Provider on behalf of Customer.
To the extent personal data (within the meaning of the Data Protection Legislation) from the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom and Switzerland are processed by Service Provider, standard contractual clauses (“SCCs”) will be concluded between Service Provider, acting as data importer, and Customer, acting as data exporter, in order to comply with Chapter V of the GDPR. These SCCs shall be included under Annex 2 and shall form an integral part of the Agreement.
In the event the parties undertake processing activities for which they jointly determine the purposes and the means of processing of personal data within the meaning of the Data Protection Legislation, by signing this Agreement, by purchasing a Subscription, or accessing and using the Services and the associated website, applications and tools, the parties commit to agree and conclude in good faith a joint-controllership agreement in compliance with Article 26 of the GDPR.
9.4 Re-use of Non-Personal Customer Data. For the purpose of this section, the term “Processing”, and all derivatives of such term, shall mean any operation or set of operations which is performed on Non-Personal Customer Data or on sets of Non-Personal Customer Data such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination. Customer grants to Service Provider the right to aggregate, Process, or have Processed by a third party, and re-use any and all Non-Personal Customer Data, including for purposes of performing big data analytics and/or generating industry-wide analyses, statistics and reports, to the extent such Processing does not conflict with the normal exploitation of the Customer Data by Customer and does not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of Customer.
9.5 Third-party Requests. The Service Provider shall not disclose Customer Data to a third party (including law enforcement, other government entities, or civil litigants; but excluding Service Provider's subcontractors) except as Customer directs or unless required by law. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the event of a merger dissolution, reorganization, or similar corporate event, or the sale of all or substantially all of Service Providers assets, Service Provider expects that the information that Service Provider has collected, including Customer Data, would be transferred to the surviving entity in a merger or the acquiring entity. Should a third party contact Service Provider with a demand for Customer Data, Service Provider will attempt to redirect the third party to request that data directly from the Customer. As part of this effort, Service Provider may provide Customer's basic contact information to such third party. If compelled to disclose Customer Data to a third party, Service Provider will promptly notify Customer and provide a copy of the demand, unless legally prohibited from doing so. Customer shall be responsible for responding to requests by third parties regarding its or any Users' use of the Services.
9.6 Customer Data Return and Deletion. Customer may extract and/or delete Customer Data at any time. When a Subscription expires or terminates, Service Provider shall retain any Customer Data not deleted for at least ninety (90) days so that Customer may extract it. Customer remains responsible for all storage and other applicable charges during this retention period. Following the expiration of this retention period, Service Provider will delete all Customer Data, including any cached or back-up copies, within thirty (30) days as from the end of the retention period. Customer agrees that Service Provider has no additional obligation to continue to hold, export or return Customer Data and that Service Provider has no liability whatsoever for deletion of Customer Data pursuant to these terms.
10. CONFIDENTIALITY
10.1 Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information of Customer includes Customer Data. Confidential Information of Service Provider includes the Services, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Order Forms (including pricing). Confidential Information of each party includes business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-disclosure obligations set forth in this “Confidentiality” section apply to Confidential Information exchanged between the parties in connection with the evaluation of additional Service Provider services.
10.2 Protection of Confidential Information. As between the parties, each party retains all ownership rights in and to its Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to (i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to that of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those set forth herein. Neither party shall disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s or accountant’s compliance with this “Confidentiality” section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Service Provider may disclose the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Order Form to a subcontractor or third-party supplier to the extent necessary to perform Service Provider’s obligations under this Agreement, under terms of confidentiality materially as protective as set forth herein.
10.3 Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.
