Service & Payment
Service
Provider will provide the Service to Recipient pursuant to its standard policies and procedures then in effect. Provider may change, discontinue or impose conditions on any Service.
Payment
The applicable fees for the Service will be specified during checkout (the “Fees”) and/or via invoice. Fees for downloadable and other one-time Services will be due at the time of purchasing such Service. Fees for subscriptions will be charged at the time of purchasing the subscription and on a monthly or annual basis thereafter. Fees for usage-based services will be charged at a predetermined day of the month and reflect the Recipient’s usage from the prior month. If Recipient is paying by credit or debit card, Recipient authorizes Provider to store Recipient’s card information and charge Recipient for Service fees, either as a one-time or recurring subscription or usage basis. The fees are based on the Service purchased, or on usage as indicated for the specific Service. Provider will collect and remit sales tax where required by state laws, based on the Service and the address listed in Recipient’s Account.
Refunds
In general, all Fees associated with a Service are non-refundable. However, should a dispute over Fees for Services rendered arise, the Provider may, at its sole discretion, refund in full or in part, the Fees associated with this Service. Such refunds must be requested in writing by the Recipient within 30 days of the payment, and are subject to approval by the Provider. The Provider may also choose to compensate the Recipient in an equivalent way without issuing a refund, such as credit for future services. Such decisions will be made solely by the Provider and based on the Provider’s assessment of “good faith” on the part of the Recipient.
Changes to Fees
Provider reserves the right to modify the Fees at any time upon notice (provided that prior notice will not be required if pricing increases are due to domestic rate changes or other events beyond Provider’s control), and such changes or modifications may be provided by an email message to Recipient, or in such other form of communication as may be designated by Provider from time to time.

Confidentiality
Definition of Confidential Information
As used herein, "Confidential Information" means all confidential information disclosed by a party ("Disclosing Party") to the other party ("Receiving Party"), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Recipient's Confidential Information shall include Recipient Data; Provider's Confidential Information shall include the Service and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. However, Confidential Information shall not include any information that: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.
Protection of Confidential Information
The Receiving Party shall use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care) and shall: (i) not to use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement; and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates' employees, contractors and agents who need such access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections no less stringent than those herein. Neither party shall disclose the terms of this Agreement to any third party other than its Affiliates and their legal counsel and accountants without the other party's prior written consent.
Compelled Disclosure
The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to such Confidential Information.
Data Management
Access, Use, & Legal Compulsion
Unless it receives Recipient's prior written consent, Provider: (i) will not access, modify, or use Recipient Data other than as necessary to facilitate the Service; and (ii) will not give any third party access to Recipient Data. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Provider may disclose Recipient Data as required by applicable law or by proper legal or governmental authority. Provider will give Recipient prompt notice of any such legal or governmental demand and reasonably cooperate with Recipient in any effort to seek a protective order or otherwise to contest such required disclosure, at Recipient's expense.
