Responsibilities under European Legislation

If the European Data Protection Legislation applies to the processing of CUSTOMER Personal Data, the CUSTOMER agrees and acknowledges that it is compliant with obligations applicable to it under the European Data Protection Legislation with respect to the processing of that CUSTOMER Personal Data.

Subscription Fee

The Subscription Fees will be fixed during the subscription Term, except that: (i) the CUSTOMER exceeds the Limits established in the subscription and as defined in the corresponding Purchase Order, in particular the limit of users or other limitations that may apply (see the section Subscription Limits); or (ii) the CUSTOMER subscribes to additional Services or change Subscription Limits, including Users, Devices and/or additional Places. In the case of Services to which limits of Users, Devices or Places apply, the CUSTOMER will be charged the fees associated with all Users, Devices and/or Places to be invoiced.

Subscription Limits

The Purchase Order associated with the subscribed Services sets the monthly usage limits established in it. These limits are designated based on particular Service being purchased and may include the following options. In the case of Services to which user limits apply, the CUSTOMER will be charged the additional fees associated with the excess of the number of users in a calendar month with respect to the limit contracted in the subscription Term.

Limit Adjustments In The Next Calendar Month

DIPROTECH will determine if the CUSTOMER has exceeded the monthly Subscription Limits established in the subscription for the next calendar month. This revision is completed at the end of each calendar month. If the CUSTOMER exceeds any monthly limit by more than 20% unless specified otherwise in the Purchase Order, when this revision is completed, the CUSTOMER’s Subscription Fee will increase at the beginning of the next calendar month to bring it to the price of the level corresponding to the maximum limit revised. This review and update process will be applied to each calendar month during the subscription Term.

Payment

All payments must be made in the currency indicated in the Purchase Order or invoice (as applicable). The CUSTOMER will pay for the Services according to one of the methods included below, which the CUSTOMER must choose when placing an order for Services. Payment methods may not be available to all CUSTOMERS.

Payment by credit card

The Prices of orders paid by credit or debit card, or by direct debit from the CUSTOMER’s bank account, expire at the beginning of the subscription Term during which the CUSTOMER receives the Services. The CUSTOMER expressly authorizes that DIPROTECH will charge to the CUSTOMER’s credit or debit card, or to the CUSTOMERs bank account (as applicable), all applicable Prices once expired. Likewise, the CUSTOMER authorizes DIPROTECH to employ a third party to process the payments, and accepts the disclosure of its payment information to said third party.

Payment against invoice

If the CUSTOMER chooses payment against invoice, he expressly authorizes DIPROTECH to invoice no more than forty-five (45) days before the beginning of the subscription Term and each subsequent Billing Period, and other times during the subscription Term when there are fees that must be paid. All invoiced amounts are due and payable within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice, unless specified otherwise in the Purchase Order, and are considered pending payment from that date.

DIPROTECH may occasionally offer the CUSTOMER alternative options or billing plans (for example, in the Purchase Order). If the CUSTOMER accepts an option or alternative billing plan, the terms of said option or plan will be applicable as identified in the offer.

Suspension for non-payment

Automatic Suspension

If the CUSTOMER does not pay DIPROTECH the fees pending payment within 30 days from its due date, DIPROTECH may automatically suspend the use of the Services by the CUSTOMER until the CUSTOMER pays the remaining amount.

During Suspension

If the CUSTOMER has an annual commitment to DIPROTECH Services and is suspended for non-payment, DIPROTECH will continue charging the subscription fee while the CUSTOMER is suspended.

Termination after Suspension

If any pending amount is not paid within 60 days of its expiration, DIPROTECH may immediately terminate this AGREEMENT with a written notice to the CUSTOMER (which may be by email).

Claims regarding billing

Any claim related to billing must be submitted prior to the due date of the invoice. If the parties determine that certain billing system errors are attributable to DIPROTECH, DIPROTECH will not issue a corrected invoice but a credit voucher specifying the amount of the invoice that was found to be incorrect. If the claimed invoice has not yet been paid, DIPROTECH will apply the amount of the credit voucher to it and the CUSTOMER will be responsible for paying the resulting net balance due on said invoice.

Purchase Orders

If the CUSTOMER requests a purchase order number on his/her invoice, the CUSTOMER must inform DIPROTECH and DIPROTECH will include that order number in the invoices after the notification. If the CUSTOMER does not provide the order number, the CUSTOMER waives any order requirement and (a) DIPROTECH will invoice the CUSTOMER without order number; And (b) the CUSTOMER agrees to pay those invoices without a referenced order number. The parties agree that none of the terms and conditions set forth in the purchase orders issued by the CUSTOMER shall apply to this AGREEMENT and may not modify it, and that any term or condition set forth in such purchase orders shall be null and void.

The CUSTOMER acknowledges and accepts that the information contained in the DIPROTECH website about the contracting of the Services does not constitute a contractual offer or the beginning of a commercial relationship with the CUSTOMER, but must comply with the established requirements for the purchasing process as stated in this AGREEMENT and in accordance with the applicable regulations

Taxes

All subscription fees exclude taxes, which will be charged accordingly with the applicable regulations. CUSTOMER is responsible for any Taxes, and CUSTOMER will pay DIPROTECH for the Services without any reduction for Taxes. The CUSTOMER is not responsible for any taxes that corresponds to gross income or net income of DIPROTECH.

If the CUSTOMER resides in the European Union, the CUSTOMER may provide DIPROTECH in a timely fashion with a valid tax exemption certificate issued by the relevant tax authority in his/her corresponding member state in order to be exempt from VAT tax. Otherwise, DIPROTECH is obliged to collect taxes, and these will be billed to the CUSTOMER.

If the CUSTOMER is subject to the GST (Tax on goods and services), we inform you that none of the DIPROTECH rates include this tax. In the event that the CUSTOMER must deduct or withhold any tax, he/she must pay the corresponding amount required by law and pay the DIPROTECH an additional amount so that DIPROTECH receives the full payment without any deduction or withholding.

Provided By The CUSTOMER

The CUSTOMER must, at his/her own expense, answer any questions and claims that may be raised by the Users or any third parties in relation to the use of the Services by the CUSTOMER or the Users. The CUSTOMER shall make reasonable efforts in order to solve for itself the incidents that in the matter of technical support could be notified, before forwarding them to DIPROTECH in accordance with what is established in “Provided by DIPROTECH” Clause.

Provided By DIPROTECH

If the CUSTOMER is unable to solve an incident in accordance with the provisions of Clause “Provided by Customer”, he/her may submit it to DIPROTECH in accordance with the terms associated with the subscribed Services in the corresponding Purchase Order.

SUSPENSION Of The User Accounts By DIPROTECH

If DIPROTECH warns that a User Account is being used in breach of this AGREEMENT, DIPROTECH may specifically request the CUSTOMER to suspend the corresponding User Account. If the CUSTOMER does not suspend a certain User Account at the request of DIPROTECH, DIPROTECH may suspend it by itself. Such suspension will continue until the User in question corrects the breach that would have given rise to it.

Security Emergencies

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any Security Emergency, DIPROTECH may automatically suspend the impacted User Accounts. The Suspension will have the minimum entity and the shortest duration necessary, according to DIPROTECH, to prevent or solve the Security Emergency. In case DIPROTECH Suspends any User Account(s), for any reason, without previous notification to the CUSTOMER, at the request of the latter, DIPROTECH will provide to the CUSTOMER the reasons that have motivated the Suspension, as soon as reasonably practicable.
