4. Fees
4.1 Payment. Customer shall pay fees in accordance with the amounts and dates specified on the applicable Order Form or Statement of Work. The subscription fees set forth in each Order Form are fixed during the Subscription Term. The Subscription Term and fees set forth in each Order Form hereunder will be invoiced upon execution of such Order Form. All fees are based on services purchased and not actual usage, payment obligations are non-cancelable, payment terms are quoted from the date of invoice and fees paid are non-refundable. If Customer has not used Professional Services within one (1) year of payment for such Professional Services, Genemod's obligation to provide such Professional Services terminates and Customer shall not be entitled to a refund, unless set forth in the applicable SOW.
4.2 Billing. Fees are due thirty (30) days from the invoice date, unless otherwise noted in an Order Form. Customer agrees to provide Genemod or the applicable Authorized Reseller, with complete and accurate billing and contact information and to notify Genemod or the applicable Authorized Reseller of any changes to such information. The parties agree that if Customer purchases subscriptions through an Authorized Reseller and such Authorized Reseller’s order form or invoice includes different payment terms, the Authorized Reseller’s payment terms shall prevail. If Customer does not pay fees when due, late charges may be added at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid. Customer shall reimburse Genemod for all reasonable, actual costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Genemod in the collection of overdue amounts. The parties agree that if Customer purchases subscriptions through an Authorized Reseller and such Authorized Reseller’s order form or invoice includes different overdue charges, the Authorized Reseller’s overdue charges terms shall prevail.
4.3 Taxes. If Genemod has the legal obligation to pay or collect taxes for which Customer is responsible, including but not limited to, sales, use, transfer, privilege, excise, and all other taxes and duties that are levied or imposed by reason of Genemod’s performance under this Agreement, Genemod shall invoice the appropriate amount to Customer. Customer shall pay all applicable taxes, unless Customer provides Genemod with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
4.4 Suspension of Services.If any amount owed by Customer is thirty (30) days or more overdue, Genemod may, with seven (7) days’ prior notice to Customer, without limiting Genemod’s other rights and remedies, suspend Genemod Services until Customer pays such amounts owed. Genemod shall not exercise its rights under this Section 4.4 if the applicable charges are under reasonable and good-faith dispute and Customer is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute. If Customer believes, in good faith, that an invoice contains incorrect fee information, Customer shall send a written notice to Genemod or its Authorized Reseller within fifteen (15) days of receipt of invoice (“Dispute Period”) providing a reasonably detailed explanation of the nature of the dispute, and specifying the dollar amounts withheld and the reasons for withholding such amounts. If Genemod or Authorized Reseller does not respond to the notice within thirty (30) days, Customer’s determination as to the correct fee information set forth in the written notice shall be final. If Customer does not dispute the applicable invoice during the Dispute Period, any such dispute shall be deemed waived. Customer remains obligated to pay Genemod or the Authorized Reseller for all portions of the applicable invoice that are not under reasonable and good faith dispute. The parties shall work together expeditiously and in good faith to resolve all fee disputes. The parties agree that if Customer purchases subscriptions through an Authorized Reseller and such Authorized Reseller’s order form or invoice includes different payment dispute procedures, the Authorized Reseller’s payment dispute procedures shall prevail.
