Ironclad is not responsible for the operation of any Third Party Software nor the availability or operation of the Enterprise Services to the extent such availability and/or operation is dependent upon Third Party Software.
  3. FEES; EXPENSES; TAXES
    1. Fees. Customer will pay to Ironclad the fees in accordance with the terms set forth in the applicable Order Form(s) and this Section 3. Ironclad may revise subscription fees and/or pricing models upon no less than sixty (60) days’ prior written notice provided that any such modifications shall become effective only upon renewal of Customer’s subscription and shall have no impact on the pricing of the then-current Term. Any refund of Fees whatsoever under the Agreement shall exclude any one-time professional service Fees and/or Fees and expenses related to training, advice or implementation, which have been provided by Ironclad as of the effective date of the related termination, but which have not yet been paid by Customer.
    2. Invoices; Payment. Ironclad will invoice Customer annually in advance for the Enterprise Services and each invoice will be due and payable in accordance with the Order Form. All payment obligations are non-cancellable, and all amounts paid are non-refundable, other than as provided in this Agreement. If any undisputed amounts payable by Customer are still outstanding more than fifteen (15) days after Customer receives notice of non-payment, Ironclad will be entitled, in its sole discretion, to withhold performance and discontinue Customer’s access to the Enterprise Services until all undisputed amounts past due are paid in full. If Customer’s usage exceeds the applicable limits set forth in an Order Form, Ironclad will notify Customer and may invoice Customer for the applicable overage fees at Ironclad’s then-current rates. Overage fees will be invoiced in arrears and payable pursuant to the payment terms in the Order Form. The parties may mutually agree to adjust Customer’s subscription to reflect actual usage. In the event of a payment dispute, Customer has thirty (30) days from receipt of an invoice to dispute such invoice by providing written notice to Ironclad stating the good faith basis for such dispute. The parties agree to work in good faith to resolve any such payment dispute, provided that if any such dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the receipt by Ironclad of a dispute notice, Ironclad shall be free to pursue any remedies available under this Agreement, at law or in equity.
    3. Purchase Orders. If Customer requires the use of a purchase order, Customer is responsible for providing the applicable purchase order at the time of purchase. The parties acknowledge and agree that any terms and conditions included in any purchase order, vendor portal or any similar Customer specific invoicing process are void and will not apply between the parties or to Customer’s purchase of the Enterprise Services.
    4. Taxes. All Fees and other amounts stated or referred to in this Agreement are exclusive of all taxes, duties, levies, tariffs, and other governmental charges (including any value added tax, goods and services tax, or any similar tax on the supply, consumption, or use of goods or services however designated ("VAT")) (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer will be responsible for payment of all Taxes and any related interest, penalties or other charges imposed with respect thereto, resulting from any payments made hereunder, other than with respect to any taxes based on Ironclad’s net income. If any VAT is payable in respect of any services hereunder, Ironclad will provide to Customer a valid tax invoice (or equivalent document) to support the charge to VAT as appropriate.
    5. Business Classification. Customer confirms that it is treated as a business entity in all jurisdictions in which it operates or is established, and that it is not classified as a consumer, individual, or non-business entity for the purposes of VAT. Customer shall promptly notify Ironclad in writing of any change to its classification as a business entity for such purposes.
    6. Tax Mitigation. Both parties shall use reasonable endeavours to take advantage of any zero-rating, reduced rating, exemption, relief or allowance available under applicable Tax laws, in order to minimize any irrecoverable or unanticipated VAT or other Taxes imposed on transactions conducted hereunder. In the event that any competent Tax authority determines that any irrecoverable or unanticipated VAT or Taxes are chargeable in respect of transactions conducted hereunder, Customer shall in the first instance undertake all reasonable steps to refute any such determination, including but not limited to: filing appropriate objections, appeals, or other procedural challenges within the prescribed time limits; providing all necessary documentation and evidence to support the position that such Taxes should not apply; and, keeping Ironclad reasonably informed of the progress and outcome of any such challenge. Both parties shall provide one another with reasonable assistance in connection with their obligations under this Section 3.f and to comply with any other tax obligations imposed by any Tax authority, including but not limited to the provision of relevant documentation and information, as may be reasonably requested.
    7. Withholding Taxes. If any deductions or withholdings are required by law to be made from any sums payable by Customer to Ironclad under this Agreement, Customer shall in addition pay Ironclad such sum as will, after the deduction or withholding has been made, leave Ironclad with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive had no deduction or withholding been required. This Section 3.g shall not apply to the extent that Customer provides Ironclad with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
    8. Limited Liability. Each party shall be responsible for any Taxes due on their own account, including any penalties or interest accruing due to incorrect VAT treatment of the supplies of goods or services made by that party or any failure to correctly account for VAT on any receipt of a supply of goods or services under this Agreement, except where those penalties or interest arise as a result of the actions of the other party or a breach of this Agreement by such other party, in which case that party shall be liable to reimburse the value of the penalties and interest.
