11. Fees and Taxes

In consideration of the provision by Fornova to Customer of the Services, Customer shall pay the fees and other charges as set forth in the Order Form (the “Fees”). The Fees shall be invoiced and paid as set forth in the Order Form. All amounts due for more than 30 days under this Agreement shall be paid in cash or cleared funds to the bank account specified from time to time by Fornova. Any payments not made within 30 days as of the due date, shall accrue interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1½%) per month as of the due date, and until full payment thereof. In case a payment due is not paid within 60 days from the due date, Fornova shall be entitled to suspend its Services or terminate the Agreement, without derogating from any right or remedy available to Fornova. All amounts payable will be made without setoff or counterclaim and without any deduction or withholding. All fees and charges payable by Customer are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties, including, but not limited to, VAT and applicable sales tax. Customer will provide Fornova any information Fornova may reasonably request to determine whether it is obligated to collect VAT or applicable sales tax from Customer, including the Customer’s VAT identification number. Customer shall pay to the relevant taxing authority and Fornova for any liability relating to such taxes and duties, other than taxes based upon Customer's net income. If Customer is legally entitled to an exemption from any sales, use, or similar transaction tax, Customer is responsible for providing Fornova with legally-sufficient tax exemption certificates for each taxing jurisdiction. Fornova will apply the tax exemption certificates to charges occurring after the date Fornova receives the tax exemption certificates. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, Customer will notify Fornova in advance and in writing and will pay Fornova any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that Fornova receives, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount Fornova would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required. Additionally, Customer will provide Fornova with documentation showing that the withheld and deducted amounts have been paid to the relevant taxing authority. Customer retains the responsibility for settling all outstanding balances in a timely manner and maintaining updated billing information. Unless expressly set forth herein or on the Order Form, the Fees are non-cancellable and non-refundable. Fornova reserves the right to change the Fees at any time, upon notice to Customer, provided that any increase shall only become effective upon the end of the then-applicable subscription Term.

(i) hold the Confidential Information in strict confidence and protect the Confidential Information to the same extent and by the same means it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own proprietary or confidential information that it does not wish to disclose, but in no event, less than reasonable means, and

(ii) refrain from disclosing or facilitate disclosure of the Confidential Information to anyone, without the disclosing party's prior written consent, except to those of its employees and/or subcontractors with a need to know such information for the purposes of the performance of this Agreement who are bound by confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those set forth herein.
