2. PAYMENT

If you wish to access our Service, you will be required to select a Subscription Plan and provide Part3 information regarding your credit card or other payment instrument. The terms governing the fee, including its frequency and amount, can be found on the Website (the “Subscription Plan”) or are available upon request. Such Subscription Plan may include usage limits for you. The Subscription Plan also may have the option to prepay for your access to the Service before it begins or to receive an invoice for payment after your access of the Service has begun.

To the extent your access of the Service exceeds the usage limits provided for in your Subscription Plan, you were not invoiced for services rendered, or you missed any payments due on your account, Part3 reserves the right to recover such fees and charge you standard and overage fees for any such regular and excessive use.

You represent and warrant to Part3 that any payment information you provide is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You will promptly inform Part3 with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay Part3 the amount that is specified in the Subscription Plan in accordance with the terms of such Plan and these Terms of Use. If applicable, you hereby authorize Part3 to bill your payment instrument in advance of receipt of any Service on a periodic basis in accordance with the terms of the applicable Subscription Plan until you terminate your account, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred. If you dispute any charges, you must let Part3 know in writing within 60 days after the date that Part3 invoices you.

We reserve the right to change our fees. If we change our fees, the Subscription Plan, or any applicable usage limits, Part3 will provide notice of the change on the Website or in an email to you, at Part3's sole discretion, at least 30 days before the change is to take effect. Your continued access to the Service after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount.

Your failure to provide payment in accordance with your Subscription Plan on a timely basis shall afford Part3 the right to terminate your access to the Service. All fees are non-refundable and exclusive of applicable taxes. You are responsible for paying all taxes and government charges, and all reasonable expenses and attorneys fees Part3 incurs collecting late amounts.

In the event the foregoing paragraph, or any part thereof, is void under applicable law, this paragraph, or such part thereof, shall be inapplicable.

5. MUTUAL INDEMNIFICATION

We agree to indemnify and defend you and your respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, representatives, successors and assigns from and against any losses, costs (including reasonable legal fees) or damages actually incurred by you to the extent arising out of a direct infringement claim by any third party that your access to the Service in compliance with these Terms of Use directly infringes such third party’s patents, or infringes or misappropriates, as applicable, such third party’s patent, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property or proprietary rights under applicable laws of any jurisdiction in which the Service is provided or delivered, provided that you promptly notify us in writing of the claim, cooperate with us, and allow us sole authority to control the defence and settlement of such claim. If such a claim is made or appears possible, we will, at our sole discretion, enable you to continue to access the Service, or modify or replace any such infringing material to make it non-infringing. If we determine that none of these alternatives is reasonably available, you must, upon written request from us, cease use of or access to such materials as are the subject of the infringement claim.

However, our obligation to indemnify and defend you will not apply if you are in breach of these Terms of Use or if the alleged direct infringement arises from:

  1. (a) your modification of the Service, but only if infringement would not have occurred absent such modification;

  2. (b) your combination, operation or access to the Service with other software, hardware or technology not provided or recommended by us, but only if infringement would not have occurred absent such combination, operation or use;

  3. (c) your access to a superseded or altered release of the Service, if such infringement would have been avoided by the access to a then-current release of the Service, as applicable, and if such then-current release has been made available to you; or

  4. (d) our compliance with your requests.

You must defend and indemnify us and our respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, representatives, successors and assigns for any losses, costs (including reasonable legal fees) or damages incurred for:

  1. (a) any claim by any third party that arises from or is related to (i) your breach of these Terms of Use or any policy on our Website; (ii) your access to the Service in combination with other technology not provided or recommended by us; or (iii) our compliance with your requests; and,

  2. (b) any loss of data, security breach, fraud or introduction of malware, viruses or malicious code to the Service arising from your access to the Service.

Both our obligation to indemnify and defend each other has a monetary limit. Neither you nor us is required to spend more than $250,000 CDN pursuant to our indemnity obligations, including, without limitation, on court fees, attorneys’ fees, settlements, judgments, and reimbursement of costs.
