  2. . ALTSMARK and/or its affiliated companies will issue an invoice or credit memo for any payment of Fees or refund made to or by ALTSMARK (“Invoice”). Each Invoice will be issued in electronic form and based on the country stated in your billing address and will be made available to you via your User Account and/or by e-mail. For issuing the Invoice, you may be required to furnish certain Personal Information (as such term is defined in the Privacy Policy) in order to comply with local laws. Please note that the Invoice presented in your User Account may be inadequate with your local law requirements, and in such case may be used for pro forma purposes only.
     

  3. You will provide and maintain with Us valid and updated credit card information, or with alternative payment means as specified in the Subscription Form , or with a valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably acceptable to Us.  If You provide credit card information to Us, You authorize Us to charge such credit card for all Purchased Services listed in the Subscription Form  for the initial subscription term and any renewal subscription term(s) as set forth in Section 10.2 (Term of Purchased User Subscriptions).  Such charges shall be made in advance, either annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable Subscription Form. If the Subscription Form  specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, We will invoice You in advance and otherwise in accordance with the payment terms contained in the Subscription Form . Unless otherwise stated in the Subscription Form , invoiced charges are due on the payment date reflected on the invoice date. You are responsible for maintaining complete and accurate billing and contact information with Us.
     

  4. Overdue Charges. If any charges are not received from You by the due date, then at Our discretion, (a) such charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 2.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid, and/or (b) We may condition future subscription renewals and Subscription Form  on payment terms requiring payment in advance or periods shorter than those specified in Section 4.2 (Invoicing and Payment).
     

  5. Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any amount owing by You under this or any other agreement for Our services is 30 or more days overdue (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of amounts You have authorized Us to charge to Your credit card), We may, without limiting Our other rights and remedies, accelerate Your unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Our services to You until such amounts are paid in full.
     

  6. Payment Disputes. We shall not exercise Our rights under Section 6.4 (Overdue Charges) or 6.5 (Suspension of Service and Acceleration) if the applicable charges are under reasonable and good-faith dispute and You are cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.
     

  7. Chargebacks. If, at any time, we record a decline, chargeback or other rejection of a charge of any payable Fees on your ALTSMARK account (“Chargeback”), this will be considered as a breach of your payment obligations hereunder, and your use of the ALTSMARK Services may be automatically disabled or terminated.  In the event a Chargeback is performed, your User Account may be blocked without the option to re-purchase or re-use it, and any data contained in such User Account, including any domains, applications and Third Party Services may be subject to cancellation and Capacity Loss (as defined in Section 7.3 below). Your use of the ALTSMARK Purchased Services will not resume until you re-subscribe for any such ALTSMARK Purchased Services, and pay any applicable Fees in full, including any fees and expenses incurred by ALTSMARK and/or any Third Party Services for each Chargeback received (including Fees for ALTSMARK Services provided prior to the Chargeback, handling and processing charges and fees incurred by the payment processor). If you have any questions or concerns regarding a payment made to ALTSMARK, we encourage you to first contact our Customer Support team before filing a Chargeback or reversal of payment, in order to prevent the ALTSMARK Services from being cancelled and your User Account being blocked, and to avoid the filing of an unwarranted or erroneous Chargeback, which may result in your being liable for its applicable Fees, in addition to re-payment of all the Fees applicable to the ALTSMARK Services purchased (and charged-back) by you. We reserve our right to dispute any Chargeback received, including by providing the relevant credit card company or financial institution with any information and documentation proving that the User responsible for such Chargeback did in fact authorize the transaction and make use of the services rendered thereafter.
     

  8. Unless otherwise stated, Our fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including but not limited to value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction (collectively, " Taxes"). You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with Your purchases hereunder. If We have the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which You are responsible under this paragraph, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to, and paid by, You unless You provide Us with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, We are solely responsible for taxes assessable against Us based on Our income, property and employees.

The per-unit pricing during any such renewal term shall be the same as that during the prior term unless We have given You written notice of a pricing increase at least 30 days before the end of such prior term, in which case the pricing increase shall be effective upon renewal and thereafter. By entering into this Agreement and by purchasing a Renewing Paid Service, you acknowledge and agree that the Renewing Paid Service shall automatically renew in accordance with the above terms. You may turn-off the auto-renewal option for Renewing Paid Services at any time via your User Account or by visiting ALTSMARK Help Center.
     

  4. Termination for Cause. A party may terminate this Agreement for cause: (i) upon 30 days written notice to the other party of a material breach 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.
     

  5. Refund or Payment upon Termination. Upon any termination for cause by You, We shall refund You any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all subscriptions after the effective date of termination. Upon any termination for cause by Us, You shall pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all Subscription Forms after the effective date of termination. In no event shall any termination relieve You of the obligation to pay any fees payable to Us for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
     

  6. Return of Your Data. Upon request by You made within 30 days after the effective date of termination of the Purchased Services, We will make available to You for download a file of Your Data in either comma separated value (.csv), tab delimited (.txt) or Microsoft® Excel (.xls) format along with attachments in their native format.
