3) Fees and Payment.
3.1) Fees and Payment.
Customer will pay Zenoti the then-current one-time and/or recurring fees and payment charges associated with the applicable Subscription that Customer has ordered (”Fees”) in accordance with this Section 3. Zenoti will submit an invoice to Customer for payment of applicable Fees, in advance of provision of the Services set forth on the Order Form, on a monthly or annual basis (as requested by Customer), payable within thirty (30) days of receipt. All Fees are non‐refundable (except as otherwise set forth herein). Customer shall make all payments hereunder in US dollars by placing a Credit Card on file with Zenoti or an alternative method that Zenoti may specify in writing from time to time. A SMS and text messaging Subscription provides for a maximum number of messages to be sent each month and there is no roll-over of unused text messages to the following month(s). If Customer believes Fees have been incorrectly charged, Customer must contact Zenoti in writing within thirty (30) days of Customer’s receipt of the invoice or payment transaction date, whichever is earlier. At the conclusion of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term as set forth in Section 13.1, Zenoti shall increase the Fees associated with the applicable Subscription by no more than 20% of the then-current Fees for the subsequent Renewal Term. The Initial Term is calculated on the full number of fully-paid subscription fees exclusive of subscription months subject to fee discounts or credits.
Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties storage for Photos and Uploaded files of any form shall be limited to 5GB per organization. In the event Customer's usage exceeds this amount then the customer shall be billed at a rate of USD 10 per month per 5GB of additional space being used on a monthly basis.
3.2) Taxes
All Fees and other amounts payable by Customer under this Agreement are exclusive of taxes, levies, duties and similar assessments imposed by applicable taxing authorities. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer is responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory authority on any amounts payable by Customer hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on Zenoti’s income.
3.3) Billing Information.
Customer will provide Zenoti with complete and accurate billing and contact information. This information includes Customer’s account or name, billing address, postal or zip code, and telephone number. Customer will update this information within ten (10) days of any change to it. If the contact information Customer has provided is false or fraudulent, Zenoti reserves the right to suspend or terminate Customer’s access to the Services in addition to pursuing any other legal remedies pursuant to Section 2.6.
3.4) Late Payment.
If Customer fails to make any payment when due then, in addition to all other remedies that may be available, Zenoti may charge interest on the past due amount at the rate of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month or, if lower, the highest rate permitted under applicable Law. Customer will reimburse Zenoti for all reasonable costs incurred by Zenoti in collecting any late payments or interest, including attorneys’ fees, court costs, and collection agency fees. If Customer’s failure to timely pay continues for thirty (30) days following written notice thereof, Zenoti may suspend performance of the Services until all past due amounts have been paid, without incurring any obligation or liability to Customer or any other Person by reason of such suspension.
3.5) No Deductions or Setoffs.
All amounts payable to Zenoti under this Agreement shall be paid by Customer to Zenoti in full without any setoff, recoupment, counterclaim, deduction, debit, or withholding for any reason (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as may be required by applicable Law).
3.6) Fee Increases.
Zenoti may increase Fees at any time by providing written notice to Customer at least sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of the Fee change. In the event that Zenoti increases the Fees in accordance with this Section 3.6, or that Customer chooses to change its Subscription to enroll in a more expensive Subscription, the following terms will apply: (a) the Term of this Agreement for the Subscription affected by the Fee change will remain unchanged; and (b) the Fees for the higher-priced Subscription will be prorated for the remainder of the current billing cycle.
4) Use Restrictions; Service Usage and Data Storage.
4.1) Use Restrictions
Customer will not, and will not permit any other Person to, access or use the Services or Zenoti Materials except as expressly permitted by this Agreement and, in the case of Third-Party Materials, the applicable third-party license agreement.

The total number of Authorized Users will not exceed the number permitted under the Subscription, except as expressly agreed to in writing by the parties and subject to any appropriate adjustment of the Fees payable hereunder. Customer may increase the number of Authorized Users during the Term by purchasing a new Subscription for the then-current Fees applicable to the new Subscription. Customer and the applicable Authorized Users will treat such Access Credentials as strictly confidential and not permit any other Customer personnel to access the Services using such Access Credentials. An Authorized User may only access and use the Services using the Access Credentials provided to that Authorized User, and Customer will be fully responsible for any unauthorized access or use of the Services or Access Credentials by other Customer personnel; (b) Customer will notify Zenoti promptly of any unauthorized access or use of the Services. Customer will reasonably cooperate with Zenoti to remedy any such unauthorized access or use to Zenoti’s reasonable satisfaction and, at the request of Zenoti, Customer will pay Zenoti additional Fees for such unauthorized access and use that are attributable to such unauthorized user as if such user were an Authorized User; (c) Customer acknowledges and agrees that Subscriptions are location-specific, and that each applies to the Zenoti location at and from which Zenoti will provide and perform the Services as set forth in that particular Subscription. Co-location of a single Subscription will not be permitted.

If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to such Confidential Information.

The foregoing obligation does not apply to the extent that the alleged infringement arises from: (a) Third-Party Materials or Customer Data; (b) access to or use of the Zenoti Materials in combination with any hardware, system, software, network, or other materials or service not provided by Zenoti or specified for Customer’s use in the Documentation; (c) modification of the Zenoti Materials other than: (i) by or on behalf of Zenoti; or (ii) with Zenoti’s written approval in accordance with Zenoti’s written specification; (d) failure to timely implement any Updates made available to Customer by or on behalf of Zenoti; or (e) any act, omission, or other matter described in Section 11.2(a), Section 11.2(b), Section 11.2(c), Section 11.2(d) or Section 11.2(e), whether or not the same results in any Action against or Losses by any Zenoti Indemnitee.

Each party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under Section 8 (Confidentiality) or, in the case of Customer, Section 4.1 (Use Restrictions), would cause the other party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise.
15.17) Counterparts.
