All fees due under this Agreement are non-cancellable and the sums paid non-refundable.

3.3 Payment. The Customer shall on the start date of this Agreement provide to DEL valid approved purchase order information acceptable to DEL and any other relevant valid, up-to-date and complete contact and billing details, and DEL shall invoice the Customer:

3.4 Renewal. Prior to the end of the then current Initial Term or Renewal Term (as appropriate), DEL will inform the Customer of any Subscription Fee relating to the renewal of the Subscription. The Customer will be informed prior to any invoice being raised, upon which the Customer shall be entitled to opt out of the renewal and terminate this Agreement before being charged, provided it does so at least 30 days before the start of the relevant Renewal Term.

3.6 Taxes and other Incidental Charges. You agree to pay any sales, value-added or other similar taxes imposed by applicable law that DEL must pay based on the Services you ordered.

DEL may use a third party to collect past due amounts. Customer must pay for all reasonable costs incurred by DEL to collect any past due amounts. These costs may include reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal fees and costs. DEL may suspend or cancel the Service if Customer does not pay in full and on time.

4. TERM AND TERMINATION

4.1 Term. This Agreement shall commence on the date DEL notifies you that it has accepted the first Order you place in accordance with its terms and shall continue for a period of 12 months (the “Initial Term”) and, thereafter, this Agreement and any Orders made under it shall be automatically renewed for successive periods of 12 months (each a “Renewal Term”), unless otherwise terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

4.2 Termination by DEL. DEL may terminate this Agreement and/or any Order entered into under it, or suspend Customer’s use of the Service or a portion thereof at any time, if:

(a) Customer breaches the terms of this Agreement;

(b) DEL believes that Customer’s use of the Service represents a direct or indirect threat to its network function or integrity or anyone else’s use of the Service;

(c) the Customer takes or has taken against it any step or action in connection with its entering into administration, provisional liquidation or any composition or arrangement with its creditors (other than in relation to a solvent restructuring), being wound up (whether voluntarily or by order of the court, unless for the purpose of a solvent restructuring), having a receiver appointed to any of its assets or ceasing to carry on business or, if the step or action is taken in another jurisdiction, in connection with any analogous procedure in the relevant jurisdiction, or its financial position deteriorates so far as to reasonably justify the opinion that its ability to give effect to the terms of this Agreement is in jeopardy; or

(d) if DEL is otherwise required by law to do so,

and upon notification by DEL of any such termination or suspension, Customer’s right to use the Service will stop immediately. Termination or suspension of the Service for Customer’s breach of the terms of this Agreement will not change Customer’s obligation to pay any Subscription Fees due for the applicable Initial Term or Renewal Term. DEL may also terminate this Agreement or suspend Customer’s use of the Service for convenience at any time during the Term. Termination or suspension for convenience will only be effective upon a 3-month notification by DEL.

4.3 Termination by Customer. Customer may terminate a Subscription at any time during its Term by giving written notice to DEL by emailing hello@developingexperts.com, and such termination will be effective at the end of the then current Initial Term or Renewal Term (as applicable) during which the Customer terminates the Subscription, provided notice is given at least 30 days’ prior to the end of the then current Initial Term or Renewal Term. If less than 30 days’ notice is given, then the Customer’s Subscription will terminate at the end of the subsequent Renewal Term. Customer must pay the Subscription Fees that relate to the then current Initial Term or Renewal Term.

4.4 Effect of termination. Upon termination or cancellation of the Service by either party for any reason, DEL may delete Customer’s Content permanently from its servers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DEL will keep Customer’s Content for a period of 30 days before it is deleted from DEL’s servers. Customer is solely responsible for taking the necessary steps to back up its Content and ensure that it maintains its primary means of business.

4.5 No liability for deletion of Content.
