3.8 Customer may order Services and all upgrades to such Services through the MODX Cloud Dashboard or as otherwise designated by MODX. MODX may accept such Orders in its discretion and shall give notice to Customer of acceptance of such Order through the MODX Cloud Dashboard. For downgrades or cancellation of Services, MODX requires a written cancellation notice by cancellation ticket in accordance with the procedures in the MODX Cloud Dashboard and through the MODX Cloud Dashboard prior to 00:00:01 CST (GMT-6) on the Anniversary Billing Date for downgrades or discontinuance of Services.

#Payment
4.1 All fees for the provision of Services (except as provided below for Additional Service Fees, Hourly Service Fees and One Time Fees) are due in advance of the first day of the relevant term. For example, the fees for such Services during the Initial Term shall be due on the Effective Date or before the provision of Services. The fees for the Services for Renewal Term would be due on or prior to the Anniversary Billing Date for such Renewal Term. The amount due may be adjusted by addition of Services, upgrade of Services, discontinuance of Services or downgrade of Services and through the use of SLA Credits. The fees for additional or upgraded Services for which the Order is accepted on the Anniversary Billing Date will be due on the Anniversary Billing Date. The fees for additional or upgraded Services for which the Order is accepted after an Anniversary Billing Date will be pro-rated on a calendar day basis to the next Anniversary Billing Date and billed as a one-time pro-rata charge on the day said Services are ordered. Such fees will be due for the following Renewal Terms until cancelled as provided in Section 3.8.
4.2 Fees for additional services or hourly service fees shall be due at the time they are ordered. For Orders for Hourly Services, Customer shall specify the period of time for which the Hourly Services are requested in minimum increments of one hour and payment shall be due on the placing of the Order. One time fees, such as setup fees, administrative fees and late fees, are due and payable when invoiced, and/or as agreed by MODX through the MODX Cloud Dashboard.
4.3 Payment shall be made by the credit or debit card maintained on file with MODX, or such other method as approved by MODX. For methods such as credit card, the payment of fees shall be automatic on the due date.
4.4 All prices and fees specified in or referred to in this Agreement are stated exclusive of any tax, including withholding tax, sales, use, value added, levies, import and custom duties, excise or other similar or equivalent taxes imposed on the supply of Services. Any sales, use, levies, excise, withholding taxes or similar charges, direct or indirect, applicable or to become applicable, which are levied as a result of the supply of the Services shall be paid by the Customer. Neither party shall be liable for the other party’s taxes based on income. If withholding tax applies to any payments for Services made under this Agreement the Customer may deduct such taxes and shall pay such taxes to the appropriate tax authority; provided that Customer shall provide MODX with an official receipt for any such taxes withheld and must notify MODX prior to payment that withholding tax is required to be paid and Customer shall pay to MODX any additional amount to ensure that MODX receives the full amount of the invoice. If MODX has the legal obligation to pay or collect taxes for which Customer is responsible under this paragraph, the appropriate amount shall be charged to and paid by Customer in addition to the amount of the invoice, unless Customer provides MODX with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. The parties undertake to cooperate, where possible, to minimize the amount of withholding tax due by making advance clearance applications under the relevant double taxation treaties (where applicable) to the relevant tax authority to reduce the rate of withholding tax or exempt entirely this amount if applicable. In any event, the Customer undertakes to account for any tax withheld to the tax authorities on a timely basis.
4.5 SLA Credits, if issued to Customer’s account, shall be used only to offset future charges for certain Services as provided in the Service Level Agreement. SLA Credits may not be sold, converted to cash or transferred to Third Parties or Affiliates. SLA Credits shall expire on the termination or expiration of the Agreement.
4.6 The Customer’s failure to pay any fees on the due date may, at MODX’s discrection, result in incurring a late fee of $20. If MODX has suspended the Customer’s access to the Services as provided in Section 7, the Customer may, at MODX’s discrection ,incur a $50 reconnection fee. Such fees shall be due upon receipt, and MODX will not reconnect any Services to the Customer until full payment of such fees. Additionally any amount not paid when due will bear late payment interest at the rate of the lesser of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permitted by law from the due date until paid.
4.7Except where otherwise published or written as an offer or promotion by MODX, all fees paid for Services to MODX are non-refundable. If the Customer believes that the bills are in error, the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy is to seek a credit to their account through the MODX Cloud Dashboard by opening a ticket to give notice to MODX within 15 days of the receipt of the disputed bill. Any invoice not disputed by Customer in accordance with Section 4.7 within 15 days of receipt of the invoice shall be conclusively accepted by Customer as correct. Customer shall not chargeback any credit card payments to MODX and any such chargeback will result in an additional payment to MODX of up to $500 which is a reasonable estimate of MODXs additional administrative costs. Customer is responsible for any fees and costs (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and collection agency fees) incurred by MODX in enforcing collection of fees.

- Customer will not be entitled to any SLA Credits under the [Service Level Agreement](policy/modx-cloud-sla) for any period of suspension; and
- At MODXs sole discretion, MODX may terminate Customer’s access to Customer Content stored in the Services during a suspension, and MODX shall not be liable to Customer for any damages or losses Customer may incur as a result of such suspension; and

Each party agrees to safeguard the other’s Confidential Information using measures that are equal to the standard of performance used by the Non-Disclosing party to safeguard its own Confidential Information of comparable value, but in no event less than reasonable care. Neither party will use any Confidential Information of the other party for any purpose except to implement its rights and obligations under this Agreement and as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that if any party or its representatives is requested or required to disclose any Confidential Information by a subpoena or court order, that party will promptly notify the other party (unless prohibited by such subpoena or order) of such request or requirement so that the other party may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate relief and/or waive compliance with provisions of this Agreement, and if, in the absence of such relief or waiver hereunder, any party or its representative are, in the opinion of its counsel, legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information, then that party may disclose so much of the Confidential Information to the person compelling disclosure as is, according to such opinion, required, without liability hereunder.
