4.1. Recurring Payments; Third Party Payment Processor. In consideration for the Services, Subscriber agrees to pay all Fees and any other amounts stated in the Order Form, in U.S. Dollars; provided, however, the Alpha/Beta Services shall be provided free of charge. Unless otherwise indicated, Fees are non-refundable. Fees are invoiced on the Effective Date indicated in the Order Form, and afterwards, on each anniversary thereof during the Subscription Term. Fees will be charged to the account provided by Subscriber. Subscriber acknowledges that Sennos uses a third-party payment processor to process the payment of the Fees, and such third-party payment processor may have additional terms that are applicable to Subscriber with respect to the processing of such payments. Subscriber hereby authorizes Sennos to use such third-party payment processor to charge the Fees, on a recurring annual basis, to Subscriber’s account. If Subscriber is making payments via credit card or ACH, please note that if Subscriber’s payment date falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment may be executed on the next business day. In the case of an ACH transaction being rejected for non-sufficient funds (“NSF”), Sennos may in its sole discretion attempt to process the charge a second time within thirty (30) days of the first unsuccessful attempt, and you agree that Sennos may include an additional five dollar (USD $5) charge for each attempt that is returned for NSF, which will be initiated as a separate transaction from the authorized recurring payment. The origination of ACH transactions to the Subscriber’s account must comply with the provisions of U.S. law. The Subscriber certifies that they are an authorized user of this credit card/bank account and will not dispute these scheduled transactions with Sennos’s bank or credit card processor so long as the transactions correspond to the terms indicated in the applicable Order Form.

If Sennos plans to increase the Fees in the upcoming Renewal Term, Sennos shall provide written notice to Subscriber prior to the end of the then-current term.
4.3. Taxes. All Fees and other amounts payable by Subscriber under this Agreement are exclusive of taxes and similar assessments. Subscriber is responsible for all sales, use and excise taxes (or for providing Sennos with an appropriate tax exemption certificate), and any other similar taxes imposed by any federal, state or local taxing authority. Subscriber shall not be responsible for taxes imposed on Sennos’s income.
4.4. Late Payment. All amounts payable to Sennos under this Agreement will be paid by Subscriber to Sennos 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). If Subscriber fails to make any payment when due, then, in addition to all other remedies that may be available, (a) Sennos may charge interest on the past due amount at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, calculated daily and compounded monthly or, if lower, the highest rate permitted under applicable law; and (b) if such failure continues for thirty (30) days following the original due date for any given payment, Sennos may suspend performance under this Agreement until all past due amounts and interest thereon have been paid, without incurring any obligation or liability to Subscriber by reason of such suspension.

Sennos will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Subscriber (“Subscriber Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by such Subscriber Indemnitee arising out of any Action brought by a third party (other than an affiliate of a Subscriber Indemnitee) to the extent that such Losses arise from any allegation in such Action that Subscriber’s use of the Equipment or Documentation in compliance with this Agreement infringes a U.S. intellectual property right.
