6. PAYMENT FOR SERVICES

Certain features of the Services may require you to pay fees. Before you pay any fees, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. All fees are in U.S. Dollars and, unless explicitly provided otherwise herein, are non-refundable

   6.1    Price. Supplier reserves the right to determine pricing for the Services. Supplier will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on the website up to date, available at https://talenthr.io/pricing. We encourage you to check our website periodically for current pricing information. Supplier may change the fees for any feature of the Services, including additional fees or charges, if Supplier gives you advance notice of changes before they apply. Supplier, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any of Supplier’ customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, will not apply to your offer or this Agreement. The fees set forth in the applicable Order or ordering interface are exclusive of all federal, state, municipal, or other government excise, sales, use, value added or other taxes now in force or enacted in the future, and Customer shall pay any such tax (excluding taxes on Supplier’ net income) that Supplier may be required to collect or pay now or at any time in the future with respect to such fees. Unless otherwise set forth in the Order, Customer shall pay all Supplier’ undisputed invoices within 30 days after Customer receives invoice. For the avoidance of doubt, any Supplier’s invoice sent to Customer via email shall be deemed received upon transmission. Payment of the amounts due to Supplier shall be made in accordance with the payment schedule set forth on the Order or other ordering interface.

   6.2    Authorization. You authorize Supplier or a third-party payment processor to charge all sums for the Orders you enter into, orders that you make and any level of Services you select as described in this Agreement or published by Supplier, including all applicable taxes, to the payment method specified in your account. If you pay any fees with a credit card, a third-party payment processor may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase.

   6.3    Subscription Services. The paid Services may include automatically recurring payments for periodic charges (“Subscription”). The price, term, and restrictions of any Subscription will be set forth in an applicable Order. If you activate a Subscription, you authorize Supplier to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of either the recurring payments or your account, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date for the accrued sums. The “Subscription Billing Date” is the date when you purchase your first Subscription. For information on the “Subscription Fee”, please see our https://talenthr.io/pricing. Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date all applicable fees and taxes for the next Subscription period. The Subscription will continue unless and until you cancel your Subscription, or we terminate it. You must cancel your Subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fee to your account. We will bill the periodic Subscription Fee to the payment method you provide to us during registration (or to a different payment method if you change your payment information). You may cancel the Subscription via your Portal (under Account and Settings) or by contacting us at help at talenthr dot com. If Customer terminates the Subscription for convenience within the first three months of an annual Subscription, Customer will be eligible to receive a pro-rated refund of pre-paid amounts, excluding a cancellation fee of 10% deducted from such refund. Such refund is not available with respect to any renewal Subscription period. If you elect not to renew a Subscription, your account will be downgraded to the free version of the Services, and you acknowledge and accept that this may result to Customer Content becoming inaccessible or permanently deleted.

   6.4    Delinquent Accounts. Supplier may suspend or terminate access to the Services, including fee-based portions of the Services, for any account for which any amount is due but unpaid. In addition to the amount due for the Services, a delinquent account will be charged with fees or charges that are incidental to any chargeback or collection of any the unpaid amount, including collection fees.

7. TERM AND TERMINATION

   7.1    Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue in effect unless terminated in accordance with this Agreement (the “Term”).

   7.2    Termination for Cause. Either party shall have the right at any time, by giving notice, to terminate this Agreement without liability to the other on the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) if the other party commits a breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such breach has not been rectified within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice to rectify served on the defaulting party by the other party; (b) if the other party becomes insolvent, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, suffers or permits an appointment of a receiver for its business or assets, becomes subject to any proceedings under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, whether domestic or foreign, is liquidated, voluntarily or otherwise, or suffers any similar action in consequence of debt; or (c) if the other party engages in illegal activities.

   7.3    Termination for Convenience. Customer may terminate this Agreement any time without cause upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Supplier, in which case any active Subscription will be deemed terminated as well. Customer acknowledges that should Customer terminate for convenience, any pre-paid fees to Supplier corresponding to the unused Subscription term are non- refundable.

   7.4    Effect of Inactivity. If Customer has a free version account and does not log into an account for more than six (6) months, that account will be permanently deleted. Supplier will notify Customer via email at least thirty (30) days before deleting Customer’s account, with a follow-up reminder notification at least seven (7) days prior to the deletion.
