4.1. Fees.  In consideration for Valimail providing the Subscription Services, Customer shall pay to Valimail the fees in accordance with Valimail’s then-current standard pricing (available at  https://www.valimail.com/products/align) specific to the subscription plan selected by Customer (“Fees”).  Upon conclusion of each Subscription Term or Renewal, Valimail may modify the Fees payable in accordance with updates to Valimail’s then-current standard pricing.  Such Fee modifications will take effect thirty (30) days after notification of such modification to Valimail’s standard pricing, upon commencement of Customer’s Subscription Term or Renewal following such thirty (30)-day period.  If you do not agree to such Fee modifications, you must terminate your subscription in accordance with the termination provisions set forth in Section 3 hereof.  Valimail will automatically charge Customer the annual and/or monthly Fees applicable to Customer’s subscription plan for the Subscription Services in advance at the beginning of each annual and/or monthly billing cycle.  If Customer has elected annual billing cycles in the subscription ordering process, annual Fees are due at the beginning of each annual billing cycle, and monthly overage fees (if applicable) are due at the beginning of each month thereafter.  If Customer has elected monthly billing cycles in the subscription ordering process, Fees are due at the beginning of each monthly billing cycle, and Valimail will automatically charge Customer the monthly Fees applicable to the Subscription Services in advance at the beginning of each monthly billing cycle, including any unpaid overage fees owed in accordance with Section 4.2.  Except as set forth in this Agreement or as required by law, Fees paid are non-refundable and payment obligations are non-cancelable.  For the avoidance of doubt, Valimail’s standard pricing is introductory pricing and does not include overage fees or Taxes, as described in further detail below.

4.2. Overages.  Valimail’s standard pricing is exclusive of overage fees.  Valimail may add overage fees to the Fees payable by Customer, as applicable, and such overage fees shall be billed to Customer one (1) month in arrears.  If the use of the Subscription Services under Customer’s account exceeds any usage limitations that apply to Customer’s subscription, then in addition to in-term overage charges (and without limiting Valimail’s other remedies), the Fees for each Renewal will be increased to cover the higher level of usage in accordance with Valimail’s then-current standard pricing.

Customer hereby authorizes Valimail to automatically charge Customer’s credit card or payment account the applicable Fees owed in accordance with this Agreement. Overdue payments will accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month, but in no event greater than the highest rate of interest allowed by law. If Fees are being paid via credit card or other electronic means, Customer authorizes Valimail to charge the Fees using Customer’s selected payment method.  If Customer’s credit card or payment account is declined, Valimail may suspend the Subscription Services or terminate the Agreement for cause in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement, Customer shall be responsible for all financial institution fees resulting from such decline, and Customer shall be prohibited from creating additional accounts to use the Subscription Services.  Except as otherwise set forth in the Order Form, all Fees are payable in US Dollars.

4.5. Invoicing.  Valimail may, in its sole discretion, allow Customers to receive invoices in lieu of requiring upfront, automatic payment of Fees (or a portion thereof).  In the event that Valimail approves Customer for invoicing, except as otherwise set forth in the Order Form, (a) Valimail shall invoice Customer at the beginning of the Subscription Term and each Renewal, as applicable, via email to the email address(es) designated in Customer’s account; and (b) Customer shall pay the Fees due within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice.  If Customer fails to pay the Fees by the due date and remedy such failure within fifteen (15) days of the date Valimail provides Customer with written notice of the same, then (i) Customer shall pay a late fee of the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowable by law; and (ii) Valimail may terminate the Agreement for cause or suspend the provision of the Subscription Services until the Fees due are paid in full.  Customer is prohibited from creating new accounts for Valimail’s services until all Fees due are paid in full.

4.6. Cardholder Information and Third-Party Terms.  Valimail uses a third-party payment processor to accept fees.  By entering into this Agreement or signing up for the Subscription Services, you are responsible for reviewing and agreeing to the third-party terms available at stripe.com/legal/consumer  and/or other applicable terms.  If Customer includes payment cardholder information in its account setup or use of the Subscription Services, Customer will comply with all requirements, policies, and procedures of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

Where you are disputing any Fees, you must act reasonably and in good faith and will cooperate diligently with Valimail to resolve the dispute. Valimail will not charge you a late fee or suspend the provision of the Services for unpaid Fees that are in dispute, unless you fail to cooperate diligently with Valimail or Valimail determines in its sole discretion the dispute is not reasonable or brought in good faith by you.

The receiving party will promptly return or destroy the other party’s Confidential Information upon request.
