03. Orders, Fees, and Payments

3.1 General Terms and Billing. WIP Systems will invoice Customer and Customer agrees to pay the Fees at the start and upon renewal of the Subscription, along with any applicable Taxes, unless Customer cancels the Subscription in a timely manner or WIP Systems terminates it. The Subscription will automatically renew for subsequent Subscription Terms, unless either Party provides written notice of non-renewal before the current Subscription Term expires. WIP Systems may increase the Fees for the upcoming renewal term (if any) by notifying Customer of the increase at least sixty (60) days before the new term begins. The increased Fees will be no more than either (i) the publicly marketed list price on WIP Systems' website or (ii) seven percent (7%) of the previous Subscription Term's Fees, whichever is greater. Customer must cancel the Subscription before it renews to avoid being charged for the next Subscription Term. Fees may include changes in Service levels as requested by Customer.

WIP Systems will automatically invoice Customer for each renewal period on the same calendar day the Subscription commenced. If Customer chooses to upgrade Services or add paid components or features, WIP Systems will prorate the amount owed based on the remaining days in the billing cycle. However, such proration will be based on Customer's existing Service levels, paid components, or features before the upgrade or addition. If Customer downgrades Services, there may be a loss of Customer Data or features in the Customer Account, for which WIP Systems shall not be held liable. Except to the extent required by applicable law (including, without limitation, Australian law), all purchases are final and WIP Systems DOES NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR PARTIALLY USED OR UNUSED SUBSCRIPTION PERIODS, DOWNGRADED SERVICES LEVELS, REMOVED PAID COMPONENTS OR FEATURES, OR ANY UNUSED PAID FEATURES OR COMPONENTS.


3.2 Fee Increase Grace Period. WIP Systems reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to offer a grace period where Customer's Fees will remain unchanged for a specified duration. In the event that Customer does not accept an increase or addition to the existing Fees, Customer has the option to terminate its Subscription within the current billing period. In such cases, Customer will not be held liable for the Fee increase after the applicable billing period. However, any subsequent renewal of the Subscription will be subject to the increased Fees. If Customer's credit or debit card used to pay the Fees reaches its expiration date, Customer's continued use of the Services constitutes its authorisation for WIP Systems to continue billing Customer, and Customer remains responsible for any uncollected amounts.

3.3 Taxes. In relation to the purchase and/or use of the Services, Customer may be liable for Taxes imposed by the relevant authority with jurisdiction to impose such Taxes. Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for fulfilling its obligations and making the necessary payments for any applicable Taxes. Unless otherwise mandated by applicable law, Customer agrees to indemnify WIP Systems for any obligations or liabilities incurred by WIP Systems in connection with such Taxes. It is important to note that WIP Systems' failure to charge appropriate Taxes due to incomplete or inaccurate information provided by Customer will not exempt Customer from its responsibilities as outlined in this Section 3.3.

3.4 Payment Fees. If Customer makes any payment via credit card, foreign currency, or wire transfer, any associated credit card fees, currency exchange fees, and outgoing and incoming bank fees (referred to collectively as "Payment Fees") will be the responsibility of Customer. WIP Systems is entitled to recover these Payment Fees from Customer. Customer has the option to include the Payment Fees at the time of payment to WIP Systems. However, if Customer does not include the Payment Fees during the payment process, WIP Systems is entitled to seek full reimbursement of the Payment Fees from Customer within sixty (60) days of the relevant payment initiated by Customer.

04. Term and Termination

4.1 Term. These Terms are in full force and effect, commencing upon the Agreement Date, until the end of the Subscription to the Services, either paid or unpaid, unless terminated otherwise in accordance with these Terms.

4.2 Termination for Cause. Either Customer or WIP Systems may terminate Customer's Account, Subscription, Subscription Term, and/or access to the Services, as applicable, upon written notice, in case that the other party (a) is in material breach of these Terms and to the extent, curable, fails to cure such breach, within a reasonable cure period, which shall not be less than 10 days following a written notice from/by the non-breaching party; or (b) ceases its business operations or becomes subject to insolvency proceedings and the proceedings are not dismissed within 45 days.

4.3 Termination by Customer. Customer may terminate Customer's Account, Subscription, Subscription Term, and/or access to the Services by canceling the Services, whereby such termination shall not derogate from Customer's obligation to pay applicable Fees. The effective date of such termination will take effect at the end of the then-current Subscription Term, and Customer's obligation to pay the Fees throughout the end of such Subscription Term shall remain in full force and effect, and Customer shall not be entitled to a refund for any pre-paid Fees.

05. Customer Data and Account

5.1 Customer Data. Customer maintains full ownership of its Customer Data and retains all rights to it. Customer grants WIP Systems a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use the Customer Data as necessary to provide the Services as outlined in this Agreement. Both parties are responsible for implementing reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative security measures, appropriate to the Services, to protect the Customer Data in accordance with industry standards. WIP Systems has its own security measures as specified in Section 8.4. If WIP Systems reasonably believes that any issues with the Services are caused by the Customer Data or Customer's use of the Services, Customer agrees to cooperate fully with WIP Systems to identify and resolve the problem. Customer is responsible for complying with all intellectual property laws and obligations related to the Customer Data, as well as any legal duties that arise from using the Services. This includes providing necessary information and notices, as well as obtaining any required consents. This Agreement outlines WIP Systems' exclusive obligations concerning the care and handling of Customer Data. After an account has been inactive for one hundred twenty (120) days, WIP Systems will automatically delete any remaining Customer Data and the Customer Account. It is the Customer's responsibility to download their desired Customer Data before deletion by WIP Systems as stated in this Agreement.

5.2 Customer Account. Customer assumes full responsibility for the following: (i) configuring its Customer Account; (ii) operating, maintaining performance, and ensuring the security of its own equipment, networks, and other computing resources used to connect to the Services; (iii) enforcing Customer's session policy and ensuring that all Users properly exit or log off from the Services at the end of each session; (iv) maintaining the confidentiality of its Customer Account, User IDs, conference codes, passwords, and/or personal identification numbers associated with the Services. Customer agrees not to share login information among Users; and (v) accepting liability for all activities and uses of the Services that occur using Customer's password or Account. Customer is obligated to promptly notify WIP Systems of any unauthorised use of its Customer Account or any security breaches related to its use of the Services. Customer will be held responsible for any losses, damages, liabilities, expenses, and attorneys' fees incurred by WIP Systems or a third party resulting from unauthorised use of a Customer Account. Ownership of a Customer Account is directly tied to the individual or entity that completes the registration process for that particular Customer Account. Customer acknowledges that WIP Systems will rely on the information provided by Customer to address any issues or concerns related to the Customer Account.

5.3 Customer Account Access. The owner of the Customer Account, along with authorised Users, will have access to the information within the Customer Account, subject to the sharing settings configured for the account. WIP Systems will not grant access to any other individual or entity without prior consent from the Customer Account owner. Customer acknowledges that WIP Systems may rely on instructions provided by the Customer Account owner through the Account dashboard or via email from the registered address associated with the Customer Account. Customer agrees not to request access to or information about an account that is not owned by the Customer. In the event of a dispute concerning Customer Account data, WIP Systems will only disclose information to individuals other than the Customer Account owner in accordance with a court order or other legally authorised waiver and release as determined by WIP Systems. Customer bears sole responsibility for understanding the settings, privileges, and controls pertaining to the Services. This includes managing permissions for User access and privileges, such as the ability for Users to invite other Users (whether paid or unpaid) to utilize the Services, incur charges on the Customer Account, and access, modify, or share estimates, projects, and other relevant data. Customer is accountable for the actions and activities of all Users, including any orders placed and how Users handle the Customer Data, even if those Users are not part of Customer's organization or domain.
