If you purchase a subscription to paid Services (“Purchased Services”), 1Fort will (a) make the Purchased Services available to you and your Permitted Users (as defined below) pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable subscription terms or order form that you enter into with 1Fort or accept in connection with this Agreement (each, an “Order Form”), (b) provide applicable 1Fort standard set-up assistance and support for the Services to you and your Permitted Users at no additional charge (unless otherwise provided in an Order Form), (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to correct errors or defects that prevent the Purchased Services from performing substantially in accordance with their written documentation provided by 1Fort to its end users (“Documentation”), except for any errors, defects or unavailability caused by circumstances beyond 1Fort’s reasonable control, including, for example, an act of God, act of government, flood, fire, earthquake, civil unrest, act of terror, strike or other labor problem (other than one involving 1Fort’s employees), pandemic, epidemic or lock-down restriction (each, a “Force Majeure Event”), or any Internet service provider failure or delay, power failure, non-1Fort application or other non-1Fort systems, equipment, network or facilities, or denial of service attack or other security breach of your, your Permitted Users’ or any third party provider’s systems, and (d) provide the Purchased Services in accordance with laws and government regulations applicable to 1Fort’s provision of its Services to its customers generally (i.e., without regard for your or your Permitted Users’ particular use of the Services), and subject to your and your Permitted Users’ use of the Services in accordance with this Agreement, the Documentation and the applicable Order Form.

1.2 Creating and Safeguarding your Account.

To use the Services, you need to create an account on the Platform (“Account”). You agree to provide us with accurate, complete and updated information for your Account. You can access, edit and update your Account via the following means: sign into your account and go to My Settings. You are solely responsible for any activity on your Account and for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your password. We are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your Account. You must immediately notify us at hello@1fort.com if you know or have any reason to suspect that your Account or password have been stolen, misappropriated or otherwise compromised, or in case of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of your Account.

2. Subscriptions, fees and payment

(2.1) Fees.

Customer will pay all fees specified in Order Forms. Except as otherwise specified herein or in an Order Form, (a) fees are based on Services subscriptions purchased and not actual usage, and (b) payment obligations are non-cancelable and except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, fees paid are non-refundable.

(2.2) Invoicing and Payment.

Customer will provide 1Fort with valid and updated credit card information, or with a valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably acceptable to 1Fort. If Customer provides credit card information to 1Fort, Customer authorizes 1Fort to charge such credit card for all Purchased Services listed in the Order Form for the initial subscription term and any renewal subscription term(s) as set forth in the section titled “Term of Purchased Subscriptions” in Section 6.2 below. Such charges shall be made in U.S. dollars, in advance, either annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable Order Form. If the Order Form specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, 1Fort will invoice Customer in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order Form. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, invoiced fees are due net thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to 1Fort and notifying 1Fort of any changes to such information.

(2.3) Overdue Charges.

If any invoiced amount is not received by 1Fort by the due date, then without limiting 1Fort’s rights or remedies, (a) those charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, and/or (b) 1Fort may condition future subscription renewals and Order Forms on payment terms shorter than those specified in the “Invoicing and Payment” section above.

(2.4) Suspension of Service and Acceleration.

If any charge owed by Customer under this Agreement is thirty (30) days or more overdue, (or ten (10) or more days overdue in the case of amounts Customer has authorized 1Fort to charge to Customer’s credit card), may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, accelerate Customer’s unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Services to Customer and its Permitted Users until such amounts are paid in full, provided that, other than for customers paying by credit card or direct debit whose payment has been declined, 1Fort will give Customer at least ten (10) days’ prior notice that its account is overdue before suspending Services to Customer and its Permitted Users.

(2.5) Taxes.

1Fort’s fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder. If 1Fort has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, 1Fort will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides 1Fort with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, 1Fort is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property and employees.

(2.6) Pricing Changes.

‍We may change our prices for the Purchased Services at any time in our sole discretion, in which case we will notify you at least ten (10) days prior to the end of the then-current month of your subscription, and the price change will be effective on the first day of the following month, unless you notify us in writing by emailing us at hello@1fort.com that you wish to cancel your subscription effective at the end of the then-current month. If you do not terminate your subscription within such notice period, the price change shall be deemed accepted by you.

(2.7) Subscription Renewals and Cancellations.

You agree that if you purchase a Purchased Service, your subscription will automatically renew at the subscription period frequency referenced on your order form or subscription page (or if not designated, then monthly) and at the then-current rates, and your payment method will automatically be charged at the start of each new subscription period for the fees and taxes applicable to that period.  To avoid future subscription charges, you must cancel your subscription  30 days before the subscription period renewal date by doing the following: emailing us at hello@1fort.com.
