5. Fees and Payment Terms
5.1. Fee. You will pay the fees due to Kaazing set forth in the Order in U.S. dollars (collectively “Fees”). Unless otherwise set forth in the Agreement, all Fees will be due within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice. All Fees are non-refundable and non-cancelable. Kaazing may notify You if it approaches its usage limits specified in the Order. If You exceed the usage parameters specified in the Order, then Kaazing will notify You, and You will have thirty (30) days to enter a new Order for additional usage rights. If You fail to execute a new Order within thirty (30) days, Kaazing reserves its rights to suspend the Service or limit Your use of the Service to those in Your existing Order. Subscription Fees are paid annually in advance. Kaazing will invoice You thirty (30) days prior to the anniversary of the Effective Date at Kaazing’s then current pricing for a new Subscription Term. All undisputed late payments will accrue interest at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower. Such interest will be in additional to any other rights and remedies of Kaazing.
5.2. Multi-Year Subscription Terms and Termination Fee. In the event You have purchased a Subscription Term in excess of one (1) year, You agree to be bound to pay all Fees for the full Subscription Term specified in the Order. As a convenience to You, Kaazing will permit You to pay the full Fees for the Subscription Term in equal annual installments, in advance, commencing on the Effective Date. You agree that the payment of the full Fees through annual installments does not change Your commitment to pay all Fees for the Subscription Term specified in the Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, You may, upon prior written notice to Kaazing, not less than sixty (60) days before the anniversary of the Effective Date, terminate the balance of a Subscription Term by payment to Kaazing of a termination fee (“Termination Fee”). The Termination Fee will be equal to the difference between the price actually paid for the Service by You from the Effective Date to the date of termination and Kaazing’s list price for the Service ordered by You as of the Effective Date and any applicable anniversary of the Effective Date. By way of example and not limitation, if You ordered a three (3) year Subscription Term and gave notice of Your intent to terminate at the end of year two, the calculation of the Termination Fee would be as follows: On the Effective Date the annual Fee for a one-year Subscription Term to the Service is $100, but You received a 20% discount and commited to pay $240 for the three-year Subscription Term. One year after the Effective Date, Kaazing’s Fee for a one-year Subscription Term increased to $110. In year one, You paid $80, but the list price for that year was $100, so the difference of $20 is part of the Termination Fee. In year two, You paid $80, but the list price for year two was $110, so the difference of $30 is part of the Termination Fee. The total Termination fee in the example is $50.
5.3. Disputed Invoices. In the event You reasonably and in good faith dispute any fee(s) set forth on any invoice or record of payment issued by Kaazing, You must notify Kaazing in writing, setting forth the reasons for and the amount of such dispute (a “Dispute Notice”), no later than ten (10) days following the receipt of the invoice or record of payment. Upon receipt of a Dispute Notice, both parties will promptly make available appropriate personnel to work in good faith to resolve the dispute within fifteen (15) days. Upon resolution of the dispute by the parties, additional amounts due from You, if any, in relation to the applicable invoice must be remitted to Kaazing within ten (10) days following such resolution. If the dispute remains unresolved sixty (60) days after the date of the invoice at issue, either party may declare the other party in breach of the Agreement and pursue any or all legal remedies available to it.
5.4. Fee Increases. Kaazing reserves the right at any time to increase the Fees for the Service or institute new charges for Services upon reasonable notice to You, such notice to be not less than thirty (30) days prior to such change being effective. Fee increases will not apply to the then current Subscription Term for You and will only apply to new Orders.
5.5. Taxes. Other than federal and state net income taxes imposed on Kaazing’s income in the United States, You will bear all taxes, duties, levies, fees and other governmental charges (collectively, “taxes”) resulting from the Agreement and Your use of the Services. You will pay any additional taxes as are necessary to ensure that the Fees received after all such taxes are paid are equal to those specified in the Agreement as if the taxes did not exist.
5.6. Billing Information. You certify that any information provided directly or indirectly to Kaazing, including contact information, is accurate. You also agree to maintain and update such information as necessary so that it remains accurate and current. In the event that any information provided is inaccurate or not up-to-date, Kaazing reserves the right to suspend the Service or terminate the Agreement.

7.4. Legally Required Disclosure. In the event either party is required to disclose, pursuant to a judicial order, a requirement of a governmental agency or by operation of law, any Confidential Information provided to it by the other party then such party will provide the other party written notice of any such requirement immediately after learning of any such requirement, and take commercially reasonable measures to avoid or limit disclosure under such requirements and to obtain confidential treatment or a protective order and allow the other party to participate in the proceeding. Any disclosure will be the minimum disclosure as recommended by a party’s legal counsel and no disclosure will remove the obligations of confidentiality to any remaining Confidential Information nor permit any other disclosure of the Confidential Information in other circumstances.
7.5. Injunctive Relief. Each party recognizes and acknowledges that any use or disclosure of the Confidential Information of the other party in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of the Agreement will cause the other party irreparable damage for which remedies at law may be inadequate. Accordingly, the non-breaching party will have the right to seek an immediate injunction in respect of any breach of these confidentiality obligations to obtain such relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph will not in any way limit the remedies in law or equity otherwise available to the non-breaching party.

Except for an obligation to pay Fees, the parties hereto will be excused from any failure to perform any obligation hereunder to the extent such failure is caused by war, acts of public enemies, strikes or other labor disturbances, fires, floods, acts of God, or any causes of like or different kind beyond the control of the parties, provided that such party gives prompt written notice of such condition and resumes its performance as soon as possible, and provided further that the other party may terminate the Agreement by written notice to the non-performing party if such condition continues for a period of thirty (30) days
16.2. Assignment. You may not assign, by operation of law or otherwise, Your rights or obligations under the Agreement without the express written consent of Kaazing, which will not unreasonably be withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, in no event will any such assignment result in an expansion of the scope of the license granted herein. In particular, such assignment will not create rights that did not exist prior to the assignment, nor will such assignment result in an expansion of the scope of the use specified in any Order.
16.3. Severability, Entire Agreement, Waiver. In the event any provision of the Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severed from the remainder of the Agreement, and such remainder will remain in force and effect. The parties agree to replace any such invalid provision with a valid provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating to this subject matter and supersedes all prior and/or simultaneous representations, discussions, negotiations and agreements relating to the subject matter herein, whether written or oral. The failure of Kaazing to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Agreement does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision, which will still be available to Kaazing.
16.4. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in the Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person, other than the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of the Agreement.
16.5. Marketing. You agree to permit Kaazing’s reasonable reference to Your status as a user of the Service, including captioned quotations in product literature or advertisements, websites, articles, press releases, marketing literature, presentations and the like, and occasional use as a reference for potential new users.
16.6. No Solicitation. To promote an optimum working relationship, the parties agree in good faith not to knowingly solicit for employment, directly or indirectly, employ or otherwise engage any employee who has been involved in rendering or receiving Services hereunder as an employee of the other party without that party’s prior written consent. This restriction will apply during the term of and for a period of one (1) year after the termination of the Agreement. The provisions of this Section will not restrict the hiring of any person who: (i) has not been involved in rendering or receiving services, on behalf of Kaazing or You, under the Agreement; (ii) as of the time of hiring, has not been an employee of the other party at any time during the preceding one hundred eighty (180) days; or (iii) responds to a public notice for employment.
