All payment obligations are noncancelable and all amounts paid are nonrefundable. You are responsible for paying for all User licenses ordered for the entire License Term, whether or not such User licenses are actively used. You must provide CimpleBox with valid credit card or approved purchase order information as a condition to signing up for the Service. An authorized License Administrator may add licenses by executing an additional written Order Form or using the Online Order Center.

All pricing terms are confidential, and you agree not to disclose them to any third party.

  14. BILLING AND RENEWAL

CimpleBox will automatically renew and bill your credit card or issue an invoice to you each year on the subsequent anniversary or as otherwise mutually agreed upon. The renewal charge will be equal to the then-current number of total User licenses times the license fee in effect during the prior term, unless CimpleBox has given you at least 30 days prior written notice of a fee increase, which shall be effective upon renewal and thereafter. Fees for other services will be charged on an as-quoted basis. CimpleBox's fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties.

Delinquent invoices (accounts in arrears) are subject to interest of 2.0% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection. You will continue to be charged for User licenses during any period of suspension. If you or CimpleBox initiates termination of this Agreement, you will be obligated to pay the balance due on your account computed in accordance with the Charges and Payment of Fees section above.
