    3. OpsRamp will invoice Subscription Service Fees based on Resources and any additional Fees that Subscriber commits to purchase (“Committed Resources”) as set forth in an accepted Order Form.

If Subscriber believes OpsRamp has billed Subscriber incorrectly, Subscriber must contact OpsRamp within thirty (30) days of the due date of the applicable invoice. Except for an adjustment or credit, if any, that may be forthcoming as a result of an incorrect billing, all payments are final and non-refundable.
    4. Subscriber acknowledges that the monthly Committed Resources Fee is based on Subscriber’s access requirements as provided to OpsRamp by Subscriber as further set forth on an Order Form. In the event Subscriber wishes to subsequently expand access to additional users, sites, other assets, or Affiliates, as applicable, Subscriber may purchase additional Committed Resources by executing a separate Order Form.
    5. Invoices are due and payable in full within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month (or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower) on any outstanding balance.

    6. Subscriber shall be responsible for all taxes associated with Subscription Service, and other services provided under this Agreement, other than U.S. taxes based on OpsRamp’s net income. All payments shall be made in U.S. dollars unless otherwise agreed by OpsRamp in writing.
    7. At reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice, OpsRamp may audit the business records of Subscriber to ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement and to verify the number and kind of Resources being managed by the Subscription Service pursuant to this Agreement and any outstanding Order Forms. OpsRamp will bear all costs of audits unless an audit shows greater than a five percent (5%) error in Fees owed in favor of OpsRamp, in which case Subscriber will bear all reasonable expenses incurred by OpsRamp to perform the audit.
  8. TERM AND TERMINATION
    1. Subject to earlier termination as provided below, this Agreement is for the initial service term as specified in the Order Form (the “Initial Service Term”), and, unless otherwise provided in an Order Form, shall be automatically renewed for additional periods of one (1) year (collectively, the “Term”), unless either party requests termination at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term.
    2. In addition to any other remedies it may have, either party may also terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ notice, if the other party materially breaches any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, and does not cure such breach within the thirty (30) day notice period.

Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Subscriber shall cease to access the Subscription Service and shall delete and destroy all copies of Resident Software in Subscriber’s possession. Subscriber will pay in full for the Subscription Service up to and including the last day on which the Subscription Service is provided. Upon any termination, OpsRamp will make all then-current Subscriber Data available to Subscriber for electronic retrieval for a period of thirty (30) days, but thereafter OpsRamp may, but is not obligated to, delete stored Subscriber Data.
    4. All sections of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including, without limitation, accrued rights to payment, confidentiality obligations, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
  9. WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER
    1. OpsRamp shall use reasonable efforts consistent with prevailing industry standards to maintain the Subscription Service in a manner which minimizes errors and interruptions in the Subscription Service and shall perform the Professional Services and Support Services in a professional and workmanlike manner.

OpsRamp will not be responsible for any settlement it does not approve in writing. The foregoing obligations do not apply with respect to infringement claims arising from (i) a modification of the Subscription Service by any party other than OpsRamp; (ii) a combination of the Subscription Service with other software products, processes or materials not supplied by OpsRamp; or (iii) use of the Subscription Service not in accordance with this Agreement or the Documentation.
    2.

    11. U.S. Government Usage. As defined in FAR section 2.101, the Subscription Service and Documentation are “commercial items” and according to DFAR section 252.227-7014(a)(1) and (5) are deemed to be “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation.” Consistent with DFAR section 227.7202 and FAR section 12.212, any use modification, reproduction, release, performance, display, or disclosure of such commercial software or commercial software documentation by the U.S. Government will be governed solely by the terms of this Agreement and will be prohibited except to the extent expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

    14. Data Backup. The Subscription Service will maintain certain data transferred for the purpose of the performance of the Subscription Service. Although OpsRamp performs regular routine backups of data, Subscriber is primarily responsible for all data that Subscriber has transferred (including Subscriber Data) or that relates to any activity Subscriber has undertaken using the Subscription Service. Subscriber agrees that OpsRamp shall have no liability to Subscriber for any loss or corruption of any such data, and Subscriber hereby waives any right of action against OpsRamp arising from any such loss or corruption of such data.
