Customer agrees to pay the Fees for the Services, and the Professional Services set forth in each Order Form or SOW or as invoiced by Growthonics in accordance with the payment terms in this Agreement.
If Customer’s use of the Services exceeds the allocation set forth for the Customer or otherwise, Customer shall pay the Additional Fees as set forth above in the Order Form or as invoiced by Growthonics. The Services can be upgraded at any time, and the parties agree that this shall cause the initiation of a new Initial Term and the increased Fees will be charged starting on the next billing cycle.

Growthonics reserves the right to increase Fees annually and/or modify its fee structure for the Services upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Customer (which may be sent by email). All Fees are non-cancellable and non-refundable, and not subject to pro-rata refund in case of early termination of an Initial or Renewal Term.
The fees do not include applicable taxes or (if applicable) withholdings. Customer shall be responsible for any applicable sales, use, excise, VAT, GST, or other taxes (excluding taxes based on Growthonics’ net income), levies, duties or withholdings that may apply. In the event that Growthonics pays any taxes or withholdings on Customer’s behalf, Growthonics will invoice Customer for such amounts as separately stated charges, and Customer agrees to pay such taxes in accordance with this Agreement.
If any reasonably undisputed payment for the Services is overdue, Growthonics may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, for payments more than fourteen (14) days overdue, suspend Customer access to any or all Services until all outstanding amounts are paid in full; and/or for payments more than thirty (30) days overdue, assess a late charge equal to 1.5% per month on all outstanding amounts.
