Google AdWords API or program available on reasonable terms for the Service,
SFDC may cease providing such Service features without entitling Customer to
any refund, credit, or other compensation.
12. Charges and Payment of Fees
This section applies only to the extent you purchase subscriptions or other
salesforce.com services beyond the Limited Free Service, or you incur excess
data storage fees.
You shall pay all fees or charges to your account in accordance with the
fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due
and payable. The initial charges will be equal to the current number of total
User licenses requested times the User license fee currently in effect.
Payments must be made annually in advance unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in an
Order Form or through the Online
Order Center.
All payment obligations are noncancelable and all amounts paid are
nonrefundable.. You are responsible for paying for all User licenses ordered
for the entire License Term, whether or not such User licenses are actively
used. You must provide salesforce.com with valid credit card or approved
purchase order information as a condition to signing up for the Service. An
authorized License Administrator may add licenses by executing an additional
written Order Form or using the Online
Order Center.
Added licenses will be subject to the following: (i) added licenses will be
coterminous with the preexisting License Term (either Initial Term or renewal
term); (ii) the license fee for the added licenses will be the then current,
generally applicable license fee; and (iii) licenses added in the middle of a
billing month will be charged in full for that billing month. Salesforce.com
reserves the right to modify its fees and charges and to introduce new
charges at any time, upon at least 30 days prior notice to you, which notice
may be provided by e-mail. All pricing terms are confidential, and you agree
not to disclose them to any third party.
13. Excess Data Storage Fees
The maximum disk storage space provided to you at no additional charge is the
greater of 1 GB or an aggregate of 20 MB per User license, for Nonprofit
Edition. If the amount of disk storage required exceeds these limits, you
will be charged the then-current storage fees. Salesforce.com will use
reasonable efforts to notify you when the average storage used per license
reaches approximately 90% of the maximum; however, any failure by
salesforce.com to so notify you shall not affect your responsibility for such
additional storage charges. Salesforce.com reserves the right to establish or
modify its general practices and limits relating to storage of Customer Data.
14. Billing and Renewal
You agree to provide salesforce.com with complete and accurate billing and
contact information. This information includes your legal company name,
street address, e-mail address, and name and telephone number of an
authorized billing contact and License Administrator. You agree to update
this information within 30 days of any change to it. If the contact
information you have provided is false or fraudulent, salesforce.com reserves
the right to terminate your access to the Service in addition to any other
legal remedies.
The remaining terms of this section apply only to the extent you purchase
subscriptions or other salesforce.com services beyond the Limited Free
Service, or you incur excess data storage fees.
Salesforce.com charges and collects in advance for use of the Service.
Salesforce.com will automatically renew and bill your credit card or issue an
invoice to you (a) every month for monthly licenses, (b) every quarter for
quarterly licenses, (c) each year on the subsequent anniversary for annual
licenses, or (d) as otherwise mutually agreed upon. The renewal charge will
be equal to the then-current number of total User licenses times the license
fee in effect during the prior term, unless salesforce.com has given you at
least 30 days prior written notice of a fee increase, which shall be
effective upon renewal and thereafter. Fees for other services will be
charged on an as-quoted basis. Salesforce.com's fees are exclusive of all
taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be
responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States
(federal or state) taxes based solely on salesforce.com's income.
Unless salesforce.com in its discretion determines otherwise: (i)
organizations with headquarters and a majority of users resident in the
United States will be billed in U.S. dollars and subject to U.S. payment
terms and pricing schemes ("U.S. Customers"); (ii) organizations
with headquarters and a majority of users resident in Japan will be billed in
Japanese yen and subject to Japanese payment terms and pricing schemes
("Japanese Customers"); and (iii) all other organizations will be
billed in U.S. dollars, Euros or local currency and be subject to either U.S.
or non-U.S. payment terms and pricing schemes at the discretion of
salesforce.com ("Non-U.S./Japan Customers").
If you believe your bill is incorrect, you must contact us in writing within
60 days of the invoice date of the invoice containing the amount in question
to be eligible to receive an adjustment or credit.
15. Non-Payment and Suspension
The terms of this section apply only to the extent you purchase subscriptions
or other salesforce.com services beyond the Limited Free Service, or you
incur excess data storage fees.
In addition to any other rights granted to salesforce.com herein, salesforce.com
reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement and your access to
the Service if your account becomes delinquent (falls into arrears).
Delinquent invoices (accounts in arrears) are subject to interest of 1.0% per
month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever
is less, plus all expenses of collection. You will continue to be charged for
User licenses during any period of suspension. If you or salesforce.com
initiates termination of this Agreement, you will be obligated to pay the
balance due on your account computed in accordance with the Charges and
Payment of Fees section above. You agree that salesforce.com may charge such
unpaid fees to your credit card or otherwise bill you for such unpaid fees.
Salesforce.com reserves the right to impose a reconnection fee in the event
you are suspended and thereafter request access to the Service. You agree and
acknowledge that salesforce.com has no obligation to retain Customer Data and
that such Customer Data may be irretrievably deleted if your account is 30
days or more delinquent.
16. Term
This Agreement commences on the Effective Date. For Limited Free
Service licenses, the initial term will be 12 months unless a different
initial term is stated in an Order Form. Following the initial term,
the Limited Free Service will be eligible for renewal on a yearly basis under
the same terms and conditions. For paid Nonprofit Edition licenses, the
Initial Term will be as you elect during the online subscription process or
as otherwise mutually agreed upon in an Order Form. Upon the expiration of
the Initial Term of a Nonprofit Edition license, this Agreement will
automatically renew for successive renewal terms equal in duration to the
Initial Term (or one year, if the Initial Term is greater than one year) at
salesforce.com's then current fees.
17. Termination
Either party may terminate the Limited Free Service at any time without cause
upon written notice to the other party. Either party may terminate a
paid subscription hereunder or reduce the number of licenses, effective only
upon the expiration of the then current License Term, by notifying the other
party in writing at least five (5) business days prior to the date of the
invoice for the following term. In the case of free trials, notifications
provided through the Service indicating the remaining number of days in the
free trial shall constitute notice of termination. If your breach or
otherwise fail to comply with this Agreement, Salesforce.com may, in its sole
discretion, terminate your password, account or use of the Service. Any
breach of your payment obligations or unauthorized use of the Salesforce.com
Technology or Service will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.
In the event this Agreement is terminated other than by reason of your
breach, salesforce.com will make available to you a file of the Customer Data
within 30 days of termination if you so request at the time of termination.
You agree and acknowledge that salesforce.com has no obligation to retain the
Customer Data, and may delete such Customer Data, more than 30 days after
termination. You further agree and acknowledge that salesforce.com has no
obligation to retain the Customer Data, and may delete such Customer Data, if
you have materially breached this Agreement, including but not limited to
failure to pay outstanding fees, and such breach has not been cured within 30
days of notice of such breach. This Agreement will automatically
terminate upon termination or expiration of all licenses granted hereunder.
