Orders and Payment

Upon execution by Customer and Hidden Spark, each Order Form is non-cancellable and non-refundable, except as provided in this Agreement. Prices stated in each Order Form are final. Subscription Service fees are invoiced annually in advance. Each Subscription Term is a non-divisible, continuous commitment, regardless of the invoice schedule, and pricing is based on a purchase of the entire Subscription Term. Professional Services fees are invoiced on a time and materials basis, monthly in arrears. Customer will pay each invoice within 30 days after the invoice date. If Customer issues a purchase order, then it shall be for the full amount of the Order Form. Any such purchase order submitted by Customer is for its internal purposes only, and Hidden Spark rejects, and in the future is deemed to have rejected, any purchase order’s terms to the extent they add to or conflict in any way with this Agreement or the applicable Order Form, SOW, or Service Description, and such additional or conflicting terms will have no effect. On request, Hidden Spark will reference the purchase order number on its invoices (solely for administrative convenience), so long as Customer provides the purchase order at least 15 business days before the invoice date.

Customer is solely liable for and will pay all Taxes associated with its purchase of, payment for, access to, or use of, any Hidden Spark Products. For the avoidance of doubt, Taxes will not be deducted from payments to Hidden Spark, except as required by Law, in which case Customer will increase the amount payable as necessary so that, after making all required deductions and withholdings, Hidden Spark receives and retains (free from any liability for Taxes) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. Each party is solely liable for and will pay taxes imposed on its net income. If Customer is a tax-exempt entity or claims exemption from any Taxes under this Agreement, it will include its tax exemption number on, and provide a tax exemption certificate on execution of the Order Form and, after receipt of valid evidence of exemption, Hidden Spark will not charge Customer any Taxes from which it is exempt.
