Except as otherwise specified herein or in an Work order and/or Agreement, (a) fees are based on Products purchased and not actual usage or any Product, (b) payment obligations are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable, upon expiration regardless of whether Customer has prepaid for any portion of the Services and (c) the Usage Basis purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant Agreement term.

14. Term; Termination.

 

14.1 Term; Renewal. As specified in the applicable Work order and/or Agreement, some Products are provided for a specified term. Unless otherwise set forth in the Work order and/or Agreement, the term for the applicable Product commences on the Effective Date specified in the Work order and/or Agreement and shall remain in effect for the period of time set forth in the applicable Work order and/or Agreement (“Initial Term”). Unless otherwise specified in the relevant Work order and/or Agreement Extend will pro-rate and co-term the Term for any additional Products or increased Usage Basis purchased after the initial order with the expiration of the Term in effect immediately prior to the time additional Users or Products are added. At the completion of the Initial Term, the Term shall renew automatically for successive twelve (12) month periods (each period a “Renewal Term”) unless either party gives written notice to the other party of its intent not to renew at least forty-five (45) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or then current Renewal Term. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term/s shall collectively be referred to as “Term” in the Agreement. Pricing for any Renewal Term is subject to change, as provided in the applicable Work order and/or Agreement, or pursuant to written notice of such price change by Extend at least sixty (60) days prior to the beginning of the Renewal Term for which the pricing has changed.

 

14.2 Termination. Extend may suspend the use of the Products and/or terminate the Agreement upon written notice if: (a) Customer becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (b) the Customer breaches any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement to procure Products from Extend, including its obligation to pay amounts due hereunder. Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, Customer shall immediately pay all amounts due and payable to Extend through the effective date of termination, and in the case of Customer’s uncured breach, or in the event of Customer’s early termination prior to the end of the Term without cause, Customer shall be liable for early termination fees as set forth in Section 14.3 below.

 

14.3 Early Termination Fee. As specified in the applicable Work order and/or Agreement, some Products are provided for a specified term. Customer understands and acknowledges that in the event of an early termination without cause by Customer prior to the end of the Term specified in the relevant Work order and/or Agreement, early termination fees shall apply. Early termination fees are in addition to any other fees owed by Customer for any other Products. Early termination fees shall be computed based on the monthly fees due multiplied by the number of months remaining in the Initial Term, or in the then current Renewal Term, as applicable. Said early termination fees will be invoiced to Customer in one lump sum within fifteen (15) days of Customer’s termination notice, and will be due net thirty (30) days from the date of invoice. Early termination fees shall be deemed to be liquidated damages and not a penalty. Early termination fees shall not apply if a Customer’s termination is due to Extend’s uncured breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

14.4 End of Life.  Extend maintains end of life policies (“EOLPs”) with respect to its products and services as published on its websites from time to time. Extend may amend or modify such policies with or without notice to Customer, and Customer is responsible for reviewing such policies as in effect from time to time.
