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.
