Customer acknowledges and accepts compliance with the following restrictions:
Customer shall pay to Cubbit or Customer's reseller the fees for the Services specified in the Order Form in accordance with the terms and conditions specified therein (hereinafter, the "Fees"). Fees due for a Subscription, which provides for a specific quantity of Services, to be used within the term specified in the Order Form, will be billed upfront or on a periodic basis in advance of use. Fees due for Services provided on a pay-as-you-go basis will be billed at the beginning of each calendar month in arrears, based on the Customer's actual usage during the previous month. Fees are non-refundable, except as required by law or provided in this Agreement.
Payment of the Fees is due within the term set out in the Order Form in the currency stated in the invoice. On all overdue payments, after 10 (ten) days have expired unsuccessfully from the payment reminder notice, Cubbit shall be entitled to charge late payment interest at the applicable rate pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2002 accrued on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment. The Customer will be responsible for all recovery costs incurred by Cubbit, including legal fees, upon submission of supporting documents.
Fees are quoted exclusive of taxes. Customer shall be responsible for payment of any taxes, duties or other charges of any kind or nature (excluding taxes calculated on Cubbit's revenues), associated with the Services, including related interest. Value Added Tax and other taxes due by law will be added to the Fees by Cubbit or Customer's reseller.
Customer may dispute an invoice amount, in good faith, within thirty (30) days from the date the invoice was issued. The notice of dispute shall be detailed, enclosing any supporting documentation and receipt of payment of the disputed amount. If the notice of dispute is submitted after the aforementioned term, the Customer waives all rights to dispute such amounts, including any right to set-off or refund.
If the Customer has purchased the Services through a reseller, the scope of the Services and payment details are governed by the agreement entered into with said reseller. In such case, Customer shall make payment to the reseller in accordance with the covenants agreed upon between Customer and said reseller.

Use of the Services during the Free Trial is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and additional terms specified periodically on the Cubbit Website. In the event of any conflict between this paragraph and any other provision contained in the Agreement, this paragraph shall take precedence. At the expiration of the Free Trial period, any Customer Content within the Services will be permanently deleted. Customer shall export its Content from the Services before the end of the Free Trial period accordingly. The Customer Account registered for the Free Trial may not be converted to a paid Account. In the event of a subsequent purchase of a paid Subscription, Customer must create a new Account.

Cubbit will, in good faith, give prior notice to the Customer of suspension of the Services, unless it has reason to believe that: (i) this is prohibited by applicable law or the order issued by public authority; or (ii) the suspension notice should be delayed to prevent imminent harm to the Services or third parties.
Suspension of the Services, pursuant to paragraph 5.1 above, will not relieve the Customer of the obligation to pay the full amount of the Fees due to Cubbit under the Agreement, without entitling the Customer to receive any service credits under the SLA. Customer Content will not be deleted during the suspension, unless otherwise specified in the AUP or Customer explicitly requests deletion.
This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until terminated either by Customer or Cubbit. The term for which Customer agrees to use the Services requested shall be the term specified in the applicable Order Form (the "Service Term").
Services provided on a pay-as-you-go basis will automatically renew for a term equal to the initial term.
