3. FEES AND PAYMENT

3.1. Fees. In consideration for Customer’s access to and use of the Cloud Service and Documentation and receipt of the Support Services, Customer shall pay to Varicent the fees for Purchased Cloud Services set forth in each Order (the “Fees”). Customer may add additional Entitlements at any time, subject to the Parties’ execution of an Order for such Entitlements and Customer’s payment of the applicable Fees set forth in such Order; provided however, that if Customer’s use of the Cloud Service exceeds its then-current Entitlements at any time during the applicable Subscription Term, Customer shall immediately execute an Order with Varicent for the additional Entitlements to cover such past and, if necessary, future use. Use of Free Services, if applicable, are provided to Customer without charge up to the limits outlined in an Order or on the Online Portal; usage over such limits requires purchase of Entitlements in the foregoing manner directed by Varicent 

3.2.  (A) Payment. All amounts due hereunder shall be due upon receipt of Varicent’s invoice and payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all amounts paid under this Agreement are non-refundable.

When initiating a purchase transaction through the Online Portal, Customer authorizes Varicent to provide Customer’s payment information to third party payment services provider(s) so the transaction can be completed and the applicable payment method can be charged. Any change to pricing with respect to Cloud Services procured through the Online Portal will become effective in the billing cycle following notice of such change to Customer as provided in this Agreement. If payment is not successfully settled for any reason, Customer remains responsible for any amounts not remitted to Varicent. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all amounts paid under this Agreement are non-refundable.

All Taxes (other than taxes on Varicent’s net income), and penalties and interest relating thereto, shall be Customer’s responsibility. If Customer is required to deduct withholding tax from payments to Varicent in accordance with applicable law, Customer shall promptly send to Varicent the official tax certificate certifying such withholding tax deduction. If a deduction or withholding is so required, Customer shall pay to Varicent such additional amounts as will ensure that the net amount received and retained by Varicent equals the full amount which Varicent would have received had the deduction or withholding not been required.

3.4. Suspension for Nonpayment. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy Varicent may have, if Customer fails to pay any undisputed amounts when due and does not remedy such failure within ten (10) Business Days after the date such amounts were due, Varicent may, without liability, cease performing or making available, as applicable, some or all of the Services, including access to the Cloud Service, until full payment of all undisputed outstanding amounts is received.
