9. PAYMENTS
9.1 Fees
You agree to pay the fees for the Services based on the rates and charges set forth in the Platform or in your Order, as applicable. All Order(s) placed on our Platform are prepaid. From time to time, SlickAlpha may impose additional fees or surcharges on certain Services provided to you, which such additional fees and surcharges shall in each case be communicated to you through our Platform or an update to your Order, as applicable.
9.2 Renewals
Renewal notices are emailed twenty (20) days before the actual renew date in your account. Renewal fees must be paid before the date of expiry. If you have arranged for payment by credit card, SlickAlpha may charge your card or account on or before the renewal date.

IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT YOU DO NOT EXPERIENCE AN INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF SERVICES, MOST SERVICES OFFER AN AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OPTION. THE AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OPTION WILL ATTEMPT TO AUTOMATICALLY RENEW THE APPLICABLE SERVICE FOR A RENEWAL PERIOD EQUAL IN TIME TO THE MOST RECENT SERVICE PERIOD, EXCEPT FOR DOMAIN NAMES WHICH WILL RENEW FOR THE ORIGINAL SERVICE PERIOD. FOR EXAMPLE, FOR PRODUCTS OTHER THAN DOMAINS, IF YOUR LAST SERVICE PERIOD IS FOR ONE YEAR, YOUR RENEWAL PERIOD WILL BE FOR ONE YEAR. WITH THE AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OPTION, SLICKALPHA WILL ATTEMPT TO RENEW THE APPLICABLE SERVICE WHEN IT COMES UP FOR RENEWAL AND WILL TAKE PAYMENT FROM THE PAYMENT METHOD YOU HAVE ON FILE WITH US AT SLICKALPHA’S THEN CURRENT RATES, WHICH YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE MAY BE HIGHER OR LOWER THAN THE RATES FOR THE ORIGINAL SERVICE PERIOD. PLEASE NOTE THAT RENEWAL DATES VARY BY SERVICE. FOR INSTANCE, SOME SERVICES MAY RENEW FOURTEEN (14) DAYS PRIOR TO EXPIRATION AND OTHERS MAY RENEW SEVEN (7) DAYS PRIOR TO EXPIRATION. YOU MAY ENABLE OR DISABLE THE AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OPTION AT ANY TIME. HOWEVER, SHOULD YOU ELECT TO DISABLE THE AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OPTION AND FAIL TO MANUALLY RENEW YOUR SERVICES BEFORE THEY EXPIRE OR IF YOUR PAYMENT METHOD CHOSEN FOR YOUR AUTOMATIC RENEWAL SHOULD FAIL, YOU MAY EXPERIENCE AN INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF SERVICES, AND SLICKALPHA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY REGARDING THE SAME. SLICKALPHA RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DETERMINE WHETHER A SECOND ATTEMPT AT PAYMENT WILL BE MADE SHOULD THE CHOSEN PAYMENT METHOD FAIL.

IN ADDITION, SLICKALPHA MAY PARTICIPATE IN “RECURRING BILLING PROGRAMS” OR “ACCOUNT UPDATER SERVICES” SUPPORTED BY YOUR THIRD-PARTY BILLING PROVIDER. IF YOU ARE ENROLLED IN AN AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OPTION AND WE ARE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY CHARGE YOUR EXISTING PAYMENT METHOD, YOUR CREDIT CARD PROVIDER (OR YOUR BANK) MAY NOTIFY US OF UPDATES TO YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER AND/OR EXPIRATION DATE, OR THEY MAY AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE YOUR NEW CREDIT CARD ON OUR BEHALF WITHOUT NOTIFICATION TO US. IN ACCORDANCE WITH RECURRING BILLING PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS, IN THE EVENT THAT WE ARE NOTIFIED OF AN UPDATE TO YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER AND/OR EXPIRATION DATE, SLICKALPHA WILL AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE YOUR PAYMENT PROFILE ON YOUR BEHALF. SLICKALPHA MAKES NO GUARANTEES THAT WE WILL REQUEST OR RECEIVE UPDATED CREDIT CARD INFORMATION. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO MODIFY AND MAINTAIN YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO (I) SETTING YOUR RENEWAL OPTIONS AND (II) ENSURING YOUR ASSOCIATED PAYMENT METHOD(S) ARE CURRENT AND VALID. FURTHER, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN THE INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF SERVICES, AND SLICKALPHA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY REGARDING THE SAME.

If your undisputed payment is overdue for more than thirty days, SlickAlpha may suspend the Services and any other services you receive from SlickAlpha on written notice. SlickAlpha shall undertake collection efforts prior to any suspension. Invoices that are not disputed within one hundred and twenty days of the invoice date are conclusively deemed accurate. Fees must be paid in the currency identified in our Platform or Order, as applicable. You are solely responsible for all bank fees and charges associated with the delivery of payments to SlickAlpha. SlickAlpha may charge interest on overdue amounts at the greater of 1.5% per month or the maximum legal rate, and may charge you for any cost or expense arising out of our collection efforts.
9.3 Currency
While all purchases are tax invoiced in US dollars, SlickAlpha may process billing and provide proforma invoices in currencies other than US dollars. You acknowledge and agree that the currency conversion is provided at daily/weekly rates and are subject to market fluctuations and volatility. Due to potential time delays between billing process and the payment settlement, the settlement price charged may fluctuate. Accordingly, SlickAlpha makes no representations or warranties that the actual price will be the same or substantially similar to the settlement price You will pay and You waive any and all claims based upon any discrepancy between the actual price and the settlement price.
9.4 Fee Increases
SlickAlpha may revise the pricing terms that apply to your use of the Services at any time by providing you with notice pursuant to Section 11 of these Terms. With respect to Customers that are not party to a then-effective Order, such rate changes will be effective immediately upon the posting of an update to our Platform. With respect to Customers that are party to a then-effective Order, the revised rates, charges and fees assessed to you for Services under such Order will not become effective until the commencement of the next renewal term of such Order and in any event may not increase by more than ten percent (10%) (as compared to the rates and charges in effect for the immediately preceding term) effective upon the commencement of each renewal term (and the Order will be deemed amended to reflect such increased rates and charges). If at any time during either an initial or renewal term of a Order a third party license provider directly or indirectly increases the fee they charge SlickAlpha for your use of Third Party Software, SlickAlpha may increase your fees by the same percentage amount on sixty (60) days’ advance written notice.
9.5 Taxes
All amounts due to SlickAlpha under the Agreement are exclusive of any value added, goods and services, sales, use, and like taxes, (collectively, “Tax”).

You must provide SlickAlpha with accurate and adequate documentation sufficient to permit SlickAlpha determine if any Tax is due. All payments to SlickAlpha shall be made without any withholding or deduction for any taxes except for withholding (or similar) taxes imposed on income that may be attributable to SlickAlpha in connection with its provision of the Services that you are legally required to withhold and remit to the applicable governmental or taxing authority (“Local Withholding Taxes”). You agree to timely provide SlickAlpha with accurate factual information and documentation of your payment of any such Local Withholding Taxes.

  2. Assignment/Subcontactors. Neither party may assign the Agreement or any Orders without the prior written consent of the other party except to an Affiliate or successor as part of a corporate reorganization or a sale of some or all of its business, provided the assigning party notifies the other party of such change of control. SlickAlpha may use its Affiliates or subcontractors to perform all or any part of the Services, but SlickAlpha remains responsible under the Agreement for work performed by its Affiliates and subcontractors to the same extent as if SlickAlpha performed the Services itself. You acknowledge and agree that SlickAlpha Affiliates and subcontractors may be based outside of the geographic jurisdiction in which you have chosen to store User Data and if legally required the parties will enter into good faith negotiations of such agreements as are necessary in order to legitimize the transfer of User Data.
  3. Governing Law. The Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, exclusive of any choice of law principle that would require the application of the law of a different jurisdiction, and the laws of the United States of America including the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1, et seq. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically excluded from application to this Agreement.
  4. Arbitration. Any dispute or claim relating to or arising out of the Agreement shall be submitted to binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in the state and county (or equivalent geographic location) of the non-asserting party’s principal business offices in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in effect at the time the dispute or claim arose. The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator from AAA or a comparable arbitration service. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned award with findings of fact and conclusions of law. Either party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration under this Agreement, or to enforce an arbitration award. Neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.
  5. Class and Collective Action Waivers. Customer and SlickAlpha mutually agree that by entering into this Agreement and agreeing to the arbitration provisions set forth herein, both waive their right to have any dispute or claim brought, heard or arbitrated as a class action and/or collective action, and an arbitrator will not have any authority to hear or arbitrate any class and/or collective (“Class Action Waiver”). Notwithstanding any other clause contained in the arbitration provision set forth in Section 11(j) or the AAA rules, any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The Class Action Waiver will be severable from the arbitration agreement in this Agreement in any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class and/or collective action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable. In such case, the class and/or collective action to that extent must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of the Class Action Waiver that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration.
  6. No Waiver. The failure of either party to require strict performance by the other party of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter, nor shall the waiver by either party of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself. Any waiver of the provisions of this Agreement, or of any breach or default hereunder, must be set forth in a written instrument signed by the party against which such waiver is to be enforced.
  7. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for any failure to perform under this Agreement to the extent due to any act of God, fire, casualty, flood, war, strike, lock out, failure of public utilities, injunction or any act, exercise, assertion or requirement of any governmental authority, epidemic, destruction of production facilities, insurrection or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the party invoking this provision.
