4. PAYMENT TERMS.

4.1 Billing – Cloud

 

At the end of the applicable Fee Accrual Period, O3 will issue an electronic bill to Customer for all charges accrued above the Fee Threshold based on (i) Customer’s use of the Services during the previous Fee Accrual Period (including, if any, the relevant Fee for TSS set forth in the Fees definition below); (ii) any Reserved Units selected; (iii) any Committed Purchases selected; and/or (iv) any Package Purchases selected. For use above the Fee Threshold, Customer will be responsible for all Fees up to the amount set in the Account and will pay all Fees in the currency set forth in the invoice. If Customer elects to pay by credit card, debit card, or other non-invoiced form of payment, O3 will charge (and Customer will pay) all Fees immediately at the end of the Fee Accrual Period. If Customer elects to pay by invoice (and O3 agrees), all Fees are due as set forth in the invoice. Customer’s obligation to pay all Fees is non-cancellable. O3's measurement of Customer’s use of the Services is final. O3 has no obligation to provide multiple bills. Payments made via wire transfer must include the bank information provided by O3.

 

4.2 Billing – SaaS

 

For Customers of the Time Off Products. The users license fees will be invoiced in advance of the bidding period. All fees shall be payable in accord with provisions specified in the electronic agreement that describe Programs or Services, and shall be deemed overdue if such fees remain unpaid after the applicable due date for any such fees. Failure to pay any portion of any fee when due shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

 

4.3 Taxes.

 

Customer is responsible for any Taxes, and Customer will pay O3 for the Services without any reduction for Taxes. If O3 is obligated to collect or pay Taxes, the Taxes will be invoiced to Customer, unless Customer provides O3 with a timely and valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. In some states the sales tax is due on the total purchase price at the time of sale and must be invoiced and collected at the time of the sale. If Customer is required by law to withhold any Taxes from its payments to O3, Customer must provide O3 with an official tax receipt or other appropriate documentation to support such withholding.

 

4.4 Invoice Disputes & Refunds.

 

Any invoice disputes must be submitted prior to the payment due date. If the parties determine that certain billing inaccuracies are attributable to O3, O3 will not issue a corrected invoice, but will instead issue a credit memo specifying the incorrect amount in the affected invoice. If the disputed invoice has not yet been paid, O3 will apply the credit memo amount to the disputed invoice and Customer will be responsible for paying the resulting net balance due on that invoice. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Customer waives all claims relating to Fees unless claimed within sixty days after charged (this does not affect any Customer rights with its credit card issuer). Refunds (if any) are at the discretion of O3. Nothing in this Agreement obligates O3 to extend credit to any party.

 

4.5 Delinquent Payments; Suspension.

 

Late payments may bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) from the payment due date until paid in full. Customer will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by O3 in collecting such delinquent amounts. If Customer is late on payment for the Services, O3 may suspend the Services or terminate the Agreement for breach pursuant to Section 9.2.

 

4.6 No Purchase Order Number Required.

 

For clarity, Customer is obligated to pay all applicable Fees without any requirement for O3 to provide a purchase order number on O3’s invoice (or otherwise).

5. SUSPENSION AND ACCOUNT REMOVALS

5.1 Suspension/Removals.

 

If Customer becomes aware that any Customer Data violates the AUP, Customer will immediately remove the relevant Customer Data (as applicable). If Customer fails to remove as noted in the prior sentence, O3 may specifically request that Customer do so. If Customer fails to comply with O3’s request to do so within twenty-four hours, then O3 may disable disable the Customer’s Account(s) (as may be applicable) until such violation is corrected.

 

5.2 Emergency Security Issues.

 

Despite the foregoing, if there is an Emergency Security Issue, then O3 may automatically suspend the offending Account. Suspension will be to the minimum extent required, and of the minimum duration, to prevent or resolve the Emergency Security Issue. If O3 suspends an Account, for any reason, without prior notice to Customer, at Customer’s request, O3 will provide Customer the reason for the suspension as soon as is reasonably possible.

5. CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS

5.1 Compliance.
