7. FEES AND PAYMENT FOR SERVICES

   All Subscription Plans other than a free trial plan (if available) (“Free Plan”) are referred to herein as Paid Subscriptions. Paid Subscription fees for Your Subscription Plan are charged in accordance with the subscription rates published on https://www.rosette.com/pricing/. You agree to pay all such fees, in accordance with Your Agreement, and You authorize Basis agents to charge Your credit card for subscription fees each month, in advance, throughout the Subscription Term (as defined below). Billing cycles are based on a calendar month ("Billing Cycle").

   You may upgrade Your Subscription Plan at any time and the upgrade will take effect immediately. If You upgrade Your Subscription Plan in the middle of a Billing Cycle, You will be charged on a pro-rated basis, based on the higher subscription rate, for the remaining portion of the Billing Cycle, minus any fees already paid for the same period (based on the previous Subscription Plan). You may downgrade Your Subscription Plan at any time, provided that the lower subscription rate will only be applied in the next Billing Cycle.

   Unless expressly provided herein, Subscription fees are non-refundable.

   You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Basis and notifying Basis of any changes to such information. Basis may charge a late fee on any overdue amounts at the rate of 1% of the outstanding balance per month (or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower). If payment of Your account is refused, and Basis is unable to collect payment of amounts due within five (5) days of Your receipt of Your payment notice, Basis may, without limiting Our other rights and remedies, suspend Your account until all such amounts are paid in full.

   You will not be charged at the beginning of a new Billing Cycle if Your Subscription Plan is suspended. Upon reinstatement of Your Subscription Plan, You will be charged on a pro-rated basis for the remaining portion of the then current Billing Cycle. Suspension of Your Subscription Plan will not entitle You to a refund for any prepaid fees.

   Subscription 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”). You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with Your Subscription Plans. If Basis has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which You are responsible hereunder, Basis will invoice You and You will pay that amount unless You provide Us with a valid tax exemption certificate.

8. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND LICENSES

   Except for the limited rights to use the Service expressly granted hereunder, Basis does not grant to You any express or implied rights or licenses under any patents, trademarks, copyright or other proprietary or intellectual property rights. All right, title and interest in and to the Service and the Rosette Cloud website are owned by Basis and its licensors.

   You grant to Basis a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, royalty-free license to use and incorporate into the Services any suggestion, enhancement request, recommendation, correction or other feedback provided by You relating to the operation of the Services.

You acknowledge and agree that Basis may monitor Your use of the Service (including that of Your End-Users) for the purpose of ensuring quality, improving Basis products and services and confirming Your compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

   The Service and any other services or technology that Basis may make available to You may be subject to export laws and regulations of the United States and other jurisdictions. You represent that You are not named on any U.S. government denied-party list. You shall not permit access to or use of the Service in a U.S.-embargoed country or in violation of any U.S. export law or regulation.

10. ALPHA AND BETA SERVICES

    From time to time, Basis may invite You to try additional, alpha or beta features, functions or services (the “Additional Services”). The Additional Services will be clearly designated as alpha/beta, pilot, limited release, developer preview, labs, or by a description of similar import. The Additional Services are considered part of the “Service” under this Agreement, provided that Basis makes no representation or commitment whatsoever regarding the functionality, reliability or availability of the Additional Services. No support is provided for the Additional Services, which may be subject to additional terms. We may discontinue the Additional Services at any time in Our sole discretion and may never make them generally available. WITHOUT DEROGATING FROM THE GENERALITY OF ANY OTHER PROVISION HEREUNDER, AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, THE ADDITIONAL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND BASIS WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY HARM OR DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH AN ADDITIONAL SERVICE.

11. DISCLAIMER

    THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND. BASIS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. BASIS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE (AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY) FOR THE ACCURACY, CONTENT, COMPLETENESS, LEGALITY, AVAILABILITY OR RELIABILITY OF THE SERVICE. BASIS HOSTS THE SERVICE ON THIRD PARTY INFRASTRUCTURE AND UTILIZES THIRD PARTY VENDORS FOR BILLING AND OTHER SERVICE COMPONENTS; BASIS IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS, HARM OR DAMAGES CAUSED BY HOSTING FAILURES OR THIRD PARTY VENDORS.

Basis will give You prompt notice of any applicable Claim Against Basis and will provide reasonable assistance, at Your expense.

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

    BASIS'S LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SINGLE INCIDENT ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID HEREUNDER IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE INCIDENT , PROVIDED THAT IN NO EVENT WILL BASIS’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID HEREUNDER. THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND WHETHER AN ACTION IS IN CONTRACT OR TORT AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.

    IN NO EVENT WILL BASIS HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, REVENUES OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, COVER OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE AND/OR THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER AN ACTION IS IN CONTRACT OR TORT AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF BASIS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW.

14. TERM AND TERMINATION

    All subscriptions begin on the Order Date and continue until cancelled or terminated in accordance with this Agreement (the "Subscription Term"). You may cancel Your subscription at any time, provided that the cancellation will take effect the day after the last day of the then current Billing Cycle. To eliminate doubt, cancellation of Your subscription will not relieve You of the obligation to pay any unpaid subscription fees due for the period prior to the effective date of cancellation, and will not entitle You to any refund for any prepaid subscription fees.

    Basis has the right (but not the obligation), in its sole discretion, to suspend its provision to You of the Service if in Basis’s reasonable opinion Your use of the Service is in any way harmful or objectionable, including but not limited to any violation of Section 6 above (“Misuse”). Depending on the nature of the Misuse, Basis may, but is not required to, provide You with prior written notice (including by email) of the suspension and/or an opportunity to remedy the Misuse prior to suspension. Basis shall have sole discretion to determine whether and when a Misuse has been remedied and whether and when to reconnect You to the Service.

    Basis may terminate Your account and access to the Service, and any rights granted to You under the Agreement, in any of the following circumstances: (1) immediately, without notice, if You fail to comply with these Terms of Use; or (2) by written notice, if: (i) Your subscription is suspended for non-payment or for Misuse, for a period in excess of ninety (90) days; (ii) You have not accessed the Service for a period in excess of ninety (90) days; and/or (iii) if You become the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors.

To avoid doubt, such termination rights include, without limitation, the right to eliminate and/or modify the terms of one or more Subscription Plans. Basis will not be liable for any costs, expenses or damages as a result of or in connection with suspension and/or termination of this Agreement.
