Unless otherwise specified on the applicable Order Form, each Subscription Term will automatically renew every month or for additional twelve month periods unless either party gives the other written notice of termination at least fourteen (14) days prior to expiration of the then-current Subscription Term. Customer can also cancel their subscription using the self-serve Subscriptions Portal, in which case they can usually cancel the subscriptions themselves on a shorter notice, up to the moment it is set to renew.

7.2. Refunds and Money Back Guarantee.
Due to the nature of the digital service provided, InfraNodus will not provide any refunds unless requested by the customer within the initial 14 day trial period (as per InfraNodus money-back guarantee).

7.3. Trial.
InfraNodus offers a trial period to the customers: they can use the service for free for 14 days after opening an account after which period the subscription is activated. Each customer or organization is only allowed one trial. In case these conditions are breached, InfraNodus reserves the right to immediately terminate access to the service and ban the customer from using it in the future. We are a small company and subscription payment is what enables us to exist. So we ask the customers not to game the system and if they find this service useful to be fair and to pay a monthly subscription, so we can continue developing this service and making it better.

7.4. Fees and Payment.
All fees are as set forth in the applicable Order Form and will be paid by Customer within thirty (30) days of invoice, unless (a) Customer is paying via Credit Card or PayPal (as defined below) or (b) otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form. Except as expressly set forth in Section 9 (Limited Warranty) and Section 14 (Indemnification), all fees are non-refundable. The rates in the Order Form are valid for the initial one (1) (for monthly subscriptions) or twelve (12) month period (for annual subscriptions) of each Subscription Term and thereafter may be subject to an automatic adjustment increase. Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes, and all Taxes are excluded from any fees set forth in the applicable Order Form. If Customer is required by Law to withhold any Taxes from Customer's payment, the fees payable by Customer will be increased as necessary so that after making any required withholdings, InfraNodus receives and retains (free from any liability for payment of Taxes) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such withholdings been made. Any late payments will be subject to a service charge equal to 1.5% per month of the amount due or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less.

7.5. Payment Via Credit Card or PayPal.
If you (Customer) is purchasing the Services via credit card, debit card, other payment card ("Credit Card”) or PayPal, the following terms apply:

Recurring Billing Authorization. By providing Credit Card information and agreeing to purchase any Services, Customer hereby authorizes InfraNodus (or its designee) to automatically charge Customer's Credit Card or PayPal account on the same date of each calendar month (or the closest prior date, if there are fewer days in a particular month) during the Subscription Term for all fees accrued as of that date (if any) in accordance with the applicable Order Form. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the amount billed and charged each month may vary depending on Customer's use of the Services and may include subscription fees for the remainder of Customer's applicable billing period and overage fees for the prior month.

Foreign Transaction Fees. Customer acknowledges that for certain Credit Cards, the issuer of Customer's Credit Card may charge a foreign transaction fee or other charges.

Invalid Payment. If a payment is not successfully settled due to expiration of a Credit Card, insufficient funds, or otherwise, Customer remains responsible for any amounts not remitted to InfraNodus and InfraNodus may, in its sole discretion, either (i) invoice Customer directly for the deficient amount, (ii) continue billing the Credit Card once it has been updated by Customer (if applicable) or (iii) terminate this Agreement.

Changing Credit Card Information. At any time, Customer may change its Credit Card information by entering updated Credit Card information via the "Subscriptions" page on InfraNodus dashboard (self-serve subscriptions portal).

Termination of Recurring Billing. In addition to any termination rights set forth in this Agreement, Customer may terminate the Subscription Term by sending InfraNodus notice of non-renewal to info@noduslabs.com in accordance with Section 7.1 (Subscription Term and Renewals) or, if Customer's Subscription Term is on a monthly basis (or if otherwise permitted by InfraNodus), by terminating via the "Settings / Subscription" page on the Dashboard, with termination effective at the end of the current Subscription Term. As set forth in Section 2.9 (Trial Subscriptions), if Customer does not enter into a paid Subscription Term following a Trial Period, this Agreement and Customer's right to access and use the Services will terminate at the end of the Trial Period and Customer's Credit Card will not be charged.

Payment of Outstanding Fees. Upon any termination or expiration of the Subscription Term, InfraNodus will charge Customer's Credit Card (or invoice Customer directly) for any outstanding fees for Customer's use of the Services during the Subscription Term, after which InfraNodus will not charge Customer's Credit Card for any additional fees.

Payment Processor. We use Stripe via Chargebee to process the recurring payments. Your statement may say InfraNodus or Nodus Labs on it, depending on the subscription type. The payments are processed by InfraNodus SAS (SIRET 98426867200016, VAT FR25984268672), registered at 60 rue François Ier 75008 Paris, France. In some cases subscription payments may be processed by Ways Ltd company (Carrwood Park, Selby Road, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS15 4LG, United Kingdom, Company number in UK: 05039341) acting on behalf of Nodus Labs.

7.6. Suspension of Service.
If Customer's account is thirty (30) days or more overdue, or if the Subscription is cancelled, in addition to any of its other rights or remedies (including but not limited to any termination rights set forth herein), InfraNodus reserves the right to suspend Customer's access to the applicable Service (and any related services) without liability to Customer until such amounts are paid in full. InfraNodus also reserves the right to suspend Customer's access to the Services without liability to Customer if Customer's use of the Services is in violation of the acceptable use policy. After the access to the service is suspended InfraNodus reserves the right to erase the customer's data 30 (thirty) days after the suspense was put into place (60 days after the monthly / annual payment was not made).

EXCEPT FOR EXCLUDED CLAIMS (DEFINED BELOW), NEITHER PARTY (NOR ITS SUPPLIERS) SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, LOST DATA, LOST PROFITS, FAILURE OF SECURITY MECHANISMS, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, RELIANCE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE.

13.2. Liability Cap.
InfraNodus'S AND ITS SUPPLIERS' ENTIRE TOTAL LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION AMOUNT (totaling €9, €29 or €79, depending on the account) PAID BY THE CUSTOMER.

13.3. Excluded Claims.
"Excluded Claims" means any claim arising (a) from Customer's breach of Section 2.7 (General Restrictions); (b) under Section 3.3 (Customer Obligations) or 3.4 (Indemnification by Customer); or (c) from a party's breach of its obligations in Section 15 (Confidential Information) (but excluding claims arising from operation or non-operation of any Service).

13.4. Nature of Claims and Failure of Essential Purpose.
The parties agree that the waivers and limitations specified in this Section 13 apply regardless of the form of action, whether in contact, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise and will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in this Agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

14. Indemnification

InfraNodus will not defend the Customer from and against any claim by a third party alleging that a Service when used as authorized under this Agreement infringes a U.S. patent, U.S. copyright, or U.S. trademark and will indemnify and hold harmless Customer from and against any damages and costs finally awarded against Customer or agreed in settlement by InfraNodus (including reasonable attorneys' fees) resulting from such claim. InfraNodus may consider doing so, provided that InfraNodus will have received from Customer: (i) prompt written notice of such claim (but in any event notice in sufficient time for InfraNodus to respond without prejudice); (ii) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense and settlement (if applicable) of such claim; and (iii) all reasonable necessary cooperation of Customer. If Customer's use of a Service is (or in InfraNodus's opinion is likely to be) enjoined, if required by settlement or if InfraNodus determines such actions are reasonably necessary to avoid material liability, InfraNodus may, in its sole discretion: (a) substitute substantially functionally similar products or services; (b) procure for Customer the right to continue using such Service; or if (a) and (b) are not commercially reasonable, (c) terminate this Agreement. InfraNodus may consider to refund to the Customer the fees paid by Customer for the portion of the Subscription Term that was paid by Customer but not rendered by InfraNodus (but that decision stays at InfraNodus' discretion). The foregoing indemnification obligation of InfraNodus will not apply: (1) if such Service is modified by any party other than InfraNodus, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such modification; (2) if such Service is combined with products or processes not provided by InfraNodus, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such combination; (3) to any unauthorized use of such Service; (4) to any action arising as a result of Customer Data or any third-party deliverables or components contained within such Service; (5) to the extent the alleged infringement is not caused by the particular technology or implementation of the Service but instead by features common to any similar product or service; or (6) if Customer settles or makes any admissions with respect to a claim without InfraNodus's prior written consent. THIS SECTION 14 SETS FORTH InfraNodus's AND ITS SUPPLIERS' SOLE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT.

15. Confidential Information

Each party (as "Receiving Party") agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical and financial information it obtains from the disclosing party ("Disclosing Party") constitute the confidential property of the Disclosing Party ("Confidential Information"), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be confidential or proprietary due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure. Any InfraNodus Technology, performance information relating to any Service, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement will be deemed Confidential Information of InfraNodus without any marking or further designation. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will (1) hold in confidence and not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties and (2) not use Confidential Information for any purpose other than fulfilling its obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors and other representatives having a legitimate need to know (including, for InfraNodus, the subcontractors referenced in Section 17.8 (Subcontractors)), provided that such representatives are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective of the Disclosing Party than this Section 15 and that the Receiving Party remains responsible for compliance by any such representative with the terms of this Section 15. The Receiving Party's confidentiality obligations will not apply to information that the Receiving Party can document: (i) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (ii) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (iii) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (iv) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information. The Receiving Party may make disclosures to the extent required by law or court order, provided the Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party in advance and cooperates in any effort to obtain confidential treatment. The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.

17. General Terms

17.1. Assignment.
This Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each party's permitted successors and assigns. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the advance written consent of the other party, except that either party may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, reorganization, acquisition or other transfer of all or substantially all of such party's assets or voting securities. Any attempt to transfer or assign this Agreement except as expressly authorized under this Section 17.1 will be null and void.

17.2. Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement will be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in effect.

17.3. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.

a) Direct Dispute Resolution.
In the event of any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising from or relating to this Agreement, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, ("Dispute"), the parties shall first use their best efforts to resolve the Dispute. If a Dispute arises, the complaining party shall provide written notice to the other party in a document specifically entitled "Initial Notice of Dispute," specifically setting forth the precise nature of the dispute ("Initial Notice of Dispute"). If an Initial Notice of Dispute is being sent to InfraNodus it must be emailed to info@noduslabs.com and sent via mail to:

Attn: INFRANODUS SAS (Dmitry Paranyushkin)

60 RUE FRANCOIS 1ER, 75008

PARIS FRANCE

Following receipt of the Initial Notice of Dispute, the parties shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interest, attempt to reach a just and equitable solution of the Dispute that is satisfactory to both parties ("Direct Dispute Resolution"). If the parties are unable to reach a resolution of the Dispute through Direct Dispute Resolution within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the Initial Notice of Dispute, then the Dispute shall subsequently be resolved by arbitration as set forth below.

b) Arbitration.
IN THE EVENT THAT A DISPUTE BETWEEN THE PARTIES CANNOT BE SETTLED THROUGH DIRECT DISPUTE RESOLUTION, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, THE PARTIES AGREE TO SUBMIT THE DISPUTE TO BINDING ARBITRATION. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, THE PARTIES AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be conducted before a single neutral arbitrator, in the European Union (France or Germany). The arbitration shall be administered in accordance with this document.

The arbitration will occur in Paris, France but the parties may choose to appear by person, by phone, by another virtual means, or through the submission of documents.

The arbitrator will issue a ruling in writing. Any issue concerning the extent to which any dispute is subject to arbitration, the applicability, interpretation, or enforceability of this agreement shall be resolved by the arbitrator. To the extent state law is applicable, the arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of France.

All aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential and neither the parties nor the arbitrators may disclose the content or results of the arbitration, except as necessary to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. The result of the arbitration shall be binding on the parties and judgment on the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration.

c) Choice of Law and Jurisdiction. FOR ANY CLAIM WHICH IS NOT SUBJECT TO THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION, CUSTOMER AGREES TO SUBMIT AND CONSENT TO THE PERSONAL AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION IN, AND THE EXCLUSIVE VENUE OF, THE GOVERNMENT COURTS LOCATED WITHIN PARIS, FRANCE. IN ANY DISPUTE, FRANCE LAW SHALL APPLY.

d) Construction and Joinder. THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE CONSTRUED AS IF IT WAS JOINTLY WRITTEN BY BOTH PARTIES. BOTH CUSTOMER AND InfraNodus AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN THEIR RESPECTIVE INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS. NO ARBITRATION OR CLAIM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION OR CLAIM INVOLVING ANY OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER USER OF THE SERVICES, AND NO CLASS ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE PERMITTED. IN THE EVENT OF ANY DISPUTE CONCERNING THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION, SUCH CLAIM MUST BE ADJUDICATED BY A COURT AND NOT BY AN ARBITRATOR.

e) Injunctive Relief.
Notwithstanding the above provisions, InfraNodus may apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.

17.4. Notice.
Any notice or communication required or permitted under this Agreement will be in writing to the parties at the addresses set forth on the Order Form or at such other address as may be given in writing by either party to the other in accordance with this Section and will be deemed to have been received by the addressee (i) if given by hand, immediately upon receipt; (ii) if given by overnight courier service, the first business day following dispatch or (iii) if given by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, the second business day after such notice is deposited in the mail.

17.5. Amendments; Waivers.
Except as otherwise provided herein, no supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement will be binding, unless executed in writing by a duly authorized representative of each party to this Agreement. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce or exercise rights under this Agreement, nor will any waiver be effective unless in a writing signed by a duly authorized representative on behalf of the party claimed to have waived. No provision of any purchase order or other business form employed by Customer will supersede the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any such document relating to this Agreement will be for administrative purposes only and will have no legal effect.

17.6. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements and communications relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. Customer acknowledges that the Services are on-line, subscription-based products, and that in order to provide improved customer experience InfraNodus may make changes to the Services, and InfraNodus will update the applicable Documentation accordingly. The support and service level availability terms described in the Support Policy and the SLA may be updated from time to time upon reasonable notice to Customer to reflect process improvements or changing practices (but the modifications will not materially decrease InfraNodus's obligations as compared to those reflected in such terms as of the Effective Date).

17.7. Force Majeure.
Neither party will be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement (except for a failure to pay fees) if the delay or failure is due to unforeseen events that occur after the signing of this Agreement and that are beyond the reasonable control of such party, such as a strike, blockade, war, act of terrorism, riot, natural disaster, pandemic, failure or diminishment of power or telecommunications or data networks or services, or refusal of a license by a government agency.

17.8. Subcontractors.
InfraNodus may use the services of subcontractors and permit them to exercise the rights granted to InfraNodus in order to provide the Services under this Agreement, provided that InfraNodus remains responsible for (i) compliance of any such subcontractor with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) for the overall performance of the Services as required under this Agreement.

17.9. Subpoenas.
Nothing in this Agreement prevents InfraNodus from disclosing Customer Data to the extent required by law, subpoenas, or court orders, but InfraNodus will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer where permitted to do so.

17.10. Independent Contractors.
The parties to this Agreement are independent contractors. There is no relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency created hereby between the parties. Neither party will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other party's behalf without the other party's prior written consent

17.11. Export Control.
In its use of the Services, Customer agrees to comply with all export and import laws and regulations of France and other applicable jurisdictions. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Customer represents and warrants that it is not listed on any U.S. or EU government list of prohibited or restricted parties or located in (or a national of) a country that is subject to a U.S. or EU government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. or EU government as a "terrorist supporting" country, (ii) Customer will not (and will not permit any of its users to) access or use the Services in violation of any U.S. or EU export embargo, prohibition or restriction, and (iii) Customer will not submit to the Services any information that is controlled under the U.S. EU International Traffic in Arms Regulations. In case Customer retains any such information, any obligations and costs that arise as a result on the side of InfraNodus will be Customer's full responsibility.

17.12. Government End-Users.
Elements of the Services are commercial computer software. If the user or licensee of the Services is an agency, department, or other entity of the United States or European Union Government, the use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure, or transfer of the Services, or any related documentation of any kind, including technical data and manuals, is restricted by a license agreement or by the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 12.212 for civilian purposes and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 227.7202 for military purposes (as well as appropriate EU acts). All Services were developed fully at private expense. All other use is prohibited

17.13. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will be considered one and the same agreement.
