7. Confidentiality
As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means, subject to the exceptions set forth in the following sentence, any information or data, regardless of whether it is in tangible form, disclosed by either you or the Company (the “Disclosing Party”) that the Disclosing Party has either marked as confidential or proprietary, or has identified in writing as confidential or proprietary within thirty (30) days of disclosure to the other party (the “Receiving Party”); provided, however, that a Disclosing Party’s business plans, strategies, technology, research and development, current and prospective customers, billing records, and products or services will be deemed Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party even if not so marked or identified. The Company’s Confidential Information includes, without limitation, the Service, the Weather 20/20 Technology, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any information related to any of the foregoing. Your Confidential Information includes Your Data, excluding Aggregated Data derived therefrom. Information will not be deemed Confidential Information if such information: (a) is known to the Receiving Party prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party; (b) becomes known (independently of disclosure by the Disclosing Party) to the Receiving Party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party; (c) becomes publicly known or otherwise ceases to be secret or confidential, except through a breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; or (d) is developed independently by the Receiving Party without use of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Each party agrees that it will use the Confidential Information of the other party solely to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement. Neither you nor the Company will disclose, or permit to be disclosed, the other party’s Confidential Information directly or indirectly, to any third party without the other party’s prior written consent. Both you and the Company will use commercially reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality and value of the other party’s Confidential Information. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, either party may disclose the other party’s Confidential Information, in whole or in part: (i) to its employees, officers, directors, consultants and professional advisers (e.g., attorneys, auditors, financial advisors, accountants and other professional representatives) who have a need to know and are legally bound to keep such Confidential Information confidential by confidentiality obligations or, in the case of professional advisors, are bound by ethical duties to keep such Confidential Information confidential consistent with the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) as required by law (in which case each party will provide the other with prior written notification thereof, will provide such party with the opportunity to contest such disclosure, and will use its reasonable efforts to minimize such disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law). Both you and the Company agree to exercise due care in protecting the Confidential Information of the other party from unauthorized use and disclosure. In the event of actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section, the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without waiving any other rights or remedies available to it. Both you and the Company will promptly notify the other in writing if it becomes aware of any violations of the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Agreement.
8. Fees
In consideration of the provision of the Service to you, you will pay us the fees set forth in the Order in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
All fees are quoted in US Dollars and will be paid by you in US Dollars, unless expressly stated otherwise. Fees are payable by wire transfer, check or major credit cards. We may, from time to time, and without specific notice to you, add additional payment methods to the then-current payment methods, or cease to use previously supported payment methods. You represent and warrant that you are lawfully permitted to use the selected payment method in connection with the Service. We may require additional information from you before completing payment transactions.
You must keep the billing information you provide to us current, complete, and accurate, and notify us promptly in case of any change in your billing information. By providing any credit card, online account or bank information, you authorize the Company to automatically charge or debit the selected payment method for the full amount due on a recurring basis (if applicable) until you notify the Company in writing with an alternative, authorized payment method. You will ensure that you have sufficient funds or credit (as applicable) associated with the selected method of payment. You understand that the amounts charged or debited may vary and that this authorization will remain in effect until the expiration or termination of this Agreement. If a payment is returned from a bank account for insufficient or uncollected funds or for erroneous information, the Company may reinitiate the returned debit to the applicable bank account. Any amounts owed to the Company that cannot be collected by debit may be charged to any backup credit card on file for you.
Unless otherwise set forth in the Order, the applicable subscription fees will be due and payable at the beginning of each subscription cycle set forth in the Order. All fees are exclusive of all sales, use, excise, value added, withholding and other taxes, and all customs duties and tariffs now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority upon your use of the Service will be paid by you. The fees are exclusive of VAT. In the event you are required by law to deduct and/or withhold any amounts from any payments due hereunder, you shall gross-up and increase the amounts to be paid to the Company so that the actual net amount to be paid to the Company shall equal the fees that would have been due to the Company without such deduction or withholding. The Company reserves the right to increase fees at any time, although increases in fees will not go into effect until the next renewal of the then-current term.
All your payment obligations are non-cancelable and all amounts paid in connection with the Service are non-refundable, except as expressly set forth herein. You are responsible for paying all fees applicable to your subscription to the Service, whether or not you actively used, accessed or otherwise benefited from the Service.
Payment may be processed and handled through relevant third party payment processors. Any payments processed through third party payment processors are therefore subject not only to this Agreement, but also the terms and conditions of the applicable third party payment processor pursuant to your agreement with them. You acknowledge that such third party payment processors may charge you commission. We are not responsible for such commission, which is strictly between you and the relevant payment processor.
Fees that we are unable to charge through the payment method you provided is deemed an overdue fee. Failure to settle any overdue fee within twenty (20) calendar days of its original due date will constitute a material breach of this Agreement and, without limiting any remedies available to the Company, the Company may: (i) terminate this Agreement; or (ii) suspend performance of or access to the Service, until payment is made current. Without derogating from any other rights and remedies available to us under applicable law, overdue fees will accrue interest at the lesser of the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month or part thereof, cumulative monthly on the total amount due from the due date until the date of actual payment and the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. You will reimburse us for all legal costs and attorney fees we incur in the course of collecting your overdue fees.
We may modify, adapt, improve, or enhance the Service, or any of its features, user interface, design or any other aspect related to it, without being obligated to provide you notice thereof.
