5. Fees and Payment

a. Fees and Payment. All charges associated with Customer’s Account (“Fees”) are set forth in the applicable SOF or Website. For credit card payments, the payment is due immediately upon receipt of invoice. Customer hereby authorizes EventHQ or our authorized agents, as applicable, to bill your credit card upon subscription to the Service(s) (and any renewal thereof). For payments through other accepted methods, payment is due and payable in full within thirty (30) days from the invoice date or as stated in the applicable SOF. Payment obligations are non-cancelable, regardless of utilization by the Customer and except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, Fees paid are non-refundable. Customer will pay the Fees through an accepted payment method as specified in the applicable SOF or Website. Unless otherwise set forth in the SOF, Customer’s subscription to the Services will renew automatically for a Subscription Term in accordance with the renewal terms and conditions set forth in Section 6(b) below. During the Subscription Term, the Customer shall not reduce their Service Plan.

b. Late Payments. If undisputed Fees are more than thirty (30) days overdue, then, following written notification from EventHQ, EventHQ may suspend Customer’s access to the EventHQ Technology, including, without limitation, Customer’s Account, until such unpaid Fees are paid in full. 

c. Payment Disputes. EventHQ will not exercise its rights under Section 5(b) (Late Payments), 6(d) (Termination for Cause) or Section 6(c)(i) (Suspension of Service) with respect to non-payment by Customer if Customer is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute. If the parties are unable to resolve such a dispute within thirty (30) days, each party will have the right to seek any remedies it may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, irrespective of any terms that would limit remedies on account of a dispute. For clarity, any undisputed amounts must be paid in full.

d. Applicable Taxes. The Fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments, including value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes assessable by any local, state, provincial or foreign jurisdiction (collectively “Taxes”). Customer agrees to pay applicable direct or indirect Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder, which, to the extent EventHQ is legally required to collect the same, will be itemized on the EventHQ invoice. If Customer has an obligation to withhold any amounts under any law or tax regime (other than U.S. income tax law), Customer will gross up the payments so that EventHQ receives the amount actually quoted and invoiced. If EventHQ has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, the appropriate amount will be invoiced and paid by the Customer, unless, prior to the invoice date, the Customer provides EventHQ with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

e. Orders by Affiliates. Customer’s Affiliates may purchase Services directly from EventHQ by executing an SOF which is governed by the terms of this Agreement. Such SOF will establish a new and separate agreement between the Customer’s Affiliate and the EventHQ entity signing such SOF.

EventHQ reserves the right to increase the Fees at the beginning of each Subscription Term, including any automatically renewed term. Any Fees for a renewed Subscription Term are due upon the date of renewal.

c. Suspension.

EventHQ will notify Customer of any such suspension. EventHQ will use diligent efforts to attempt to limit, where commercially feasible, the suspension to affected Users or EventHQ Technology, and will immediately restore the availability of the same as soon as the issues leading to the suspension are resolved. Such suspension will in no way affect Customer’s other obligations under this Agreement.

d. Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party in the event that (i) such other party materially breaches this Agreement and does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days of such notice, or (ii) immediately in the event 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.

e. Free Trial Customers. Upon the expiration of Customer’s free trial, EventHQ may immediately suspend Customer’s access to the Services. Customer must export Customer Data before the end of the free trial or Customer Data will be permanently deleted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement EventHQ will have no obligation to maintain, store or otherwise retain Customer Data beyond the end of the free trial period.

7. Data Export and Retention 

Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement or any SOF for any reason, Customer’s access to the Services, Software, Mobile Apps, APIs, and other EventHQ Technology will terminate. EventHQ strongly recommends that Customer export their data before account closure or termination. EventHQ will make Customer Data available for export for fourteen (14) days from the effective date of the closure of the Customer’s Account due to: (i) the termination or expiration of this Agreement, or (ii) termination or expiration the applicable SOF (“Data Export Period”). Where Customer Data is retained by EventHQ and can be exported, and provided that Customer is currently on its payment obligations as described in Section 5, Customer may contact EventHQ within the Data Export Period to have EventHQ export their Data. Beyond such Data Export Period, EventHQ reserves the right to retain Customer data for up to thirty (30) days before deleting all Customer Data in the normal course of operation except as necessary to comply with EventHQ legal obligations, maintain accurate financial and other records, resolve disputes, and enforce its agreements. Customer Data cannot be recovered once it is deleted. Customer may contact support@EventHQ.com  within the Data Export Period to export Customer Data.

8. Confidentiality 

Each party will protect the other’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as it protects its own Confidential Information of similar nature or importance, and in any event, using no less than reasonable care. Except as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement, the receiving party may use the disclosing party’s Confidential Information solely to exercise its respective rights and perform its respective obligations under this Agreement, and will disclose such Confidential Information solely (i) to those of its respective employees, representatives, and agents who have a need to know such Confidential Information for such purposes and who are bound by obligations to maintain the confidentiality of, and not misuse, such Confidential Information; (ii) as necessary to comply with an order or subpoena of any administrative agency or court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) as reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law or regulation. The provisions of this section will supersede any non-disclosure agreement by and between the parties entered into prior to this Agreement that would purport to address the confidentiality of any information shared by the parties, including Customer Data, and such agreement will have no further force or effect with respect to the foregoing. The receiving party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the receiving party, the disclosing party will be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.
