A party may terminate these SaaS Terms for cause: (i) upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party of a material breach by the other party if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such period; or (ii) if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors. Upon any termination for cause by You, Giatec shall refund You any prepaid fees for any time periods after the termination of these SaaS Terms.

6.3 SaaS Service Suspension or Termination by Giatec. Without limiting any other remedies Giatec may have, Giatec may limit, suspend, or terminate Your right to access and use the SaaS Service and/or delete Your SaaS Service account and Calibration Data, with immediate effect, if any outstanding invoices are more than thirty (30) days past due, if Giatec reasonably believes You are in breach of these SaaS Terms, creating problems, legal liabilities (actual or potential), acting inconsistently with respect to Giatec’s policies, infringing someone else’s intellectual property rights, engaging in fraudulent or illegal activities, or for other similar reasons.

6.4 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of these SaaS Terms, Your SaaS Service subscriptions shall also terminate and Giatec will remove Your SaaS Service account and Calibration Data thirty (30) days after a failure to renew Your subscription or if these SaaS Terms are terminated for any other reason.

Termination or expiration of these SaaS Terms shall not relieve You of the obligation to pay any Fees accrued or payable to Giatec prior to the effective date of termination or expiration of these SaaS Terms.

  1. PAYMENT TERMS

7.1 Fees. The right to access and use the SaaS Service is purchased for subscription terms with payment for the specific period being due and payable in advance. There are no charges for basic support. Professional services are available on a time and materials or fixed quote basis as agreed with Giatec in an order form or quotation provided by Giatec to You.  The Fees are non-refundable except if these SaaS Terms have been terminated by You for Giatec’s material breach.

7.2 Payment and Charges. Unless otherwise stated in Giatec’s invoice, all invoiced amounts are due upon receipt and will be processed immediately using the credit card on file for You. You shall: (i) keep the billing, credit card and payment information You provide to Giatec or its payment processors, including name, credit card number and expiry date, mailing address, email address and telephone number, accurate and up to date; otherwise, Giatec may suspend Your access to and use of the SaaS Service; (ii) promptly advise Giatec if Your credit card information changes due to loss, theft, cancellation, card renewal or otherwise; (iii) be liable for Your failure to pay any Fees billed to You by Giatec caused by Your failure to provide Giatec with up to date billing information. To offset its additional processing costs, Giatec may charge You for administrative charges as set from time to time for administrative or account activities including: collection efforts due to non-payment or having a balance over Your credit limit; returned or rejected payments; or changes in personal identifier information. All administrative charges charged to You will be indicated on Your invoice or receipt and You shall pay all such charges.

7.3 Taxes. You are responsible for paying any applicable governmental sales, use, value-added, commodity, harmonized and other taxes imposed on Your purchase of SaaS Service subscriptions and professional services.

7.4 Pre-authorized Payment. By providing credit card information to Giatec as part of Your account set-up for pre-authorized payments, You authorize Giatec to charge Your credit card for all outstanding Fees, taxes and charges and outstanding account balances due under these SaaS Terms, and this constitutes Giatec’s good and sufficient authority for so doing. If Your pre-authorized payment method fails, Giatec will provide notification to You of payment failure. If You fail to rectify the payment failure within ten (10) days of written notice, Giatec may immediately deactivate Your account without notice to You and collect Fees owing using other collection mechanisms. If You have not paid applicable fees within thirty (30) days of the due date, Giatec will automatically terminate Your account and all Calibration Data from our servers. You are solely responsible for all charges incurred under Your account by You or third-parties.
