8. Subscription, Fees, Upgrades, Renewals, and Cancellation.

8.1. Order Form. The Services may be purchased via an order form, e.g. a sales order, purchase document or any other instrument as determined by us, which shall be completed and placed either online, in-product, offline, or in any other form designated by us (“Order Form”). Such Order Form will list, at a minimum, the Services ordered, the associated fees, the subscription plan and term, as applicable. If Customer provides GrantAppli a purchase order related to an Order Form, such is deemed to incorporate these Terms and if such contains terms regarding the Services then such shall have no force or effect.

8.2. Subscription. Unless stated otherwise in an Order Form, the Services are provided on a subscription basis for the subscription term specified in the Order Form, in accordance with the respective subscription plan, as applicable, purchased under such Order Form “Subscription Term” and “Subscription Plan”, respectively, and collectively the “Subscription”).

8.3. Fees. In consideration for the provision of the Services (except for Evaluation Services), Customer shall pay us the applicable fees, as set forth in the applicable Order Form (“Fees”). Unless indicated otherwise, Fees are stated in US dollars. Customer hereby authorizes us, either directly or through our payment processing service or our affiliates, to charge such Fees via Customer’s selected payment method, upon due date or shall otherwise remit payment to GrantAppli upon the due date. Unless expressly set forth herein, the Fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable. We reserve the right to change the Fees at any time, upon notice to Customer if such change may affect Customer’s existing subscriptions upon renewal. In the event of failure to collect the Fees owed by Customer, we may, at our sole discretion (but shall not be obligated to) retry to collect later, and/or suspend or cancel the Account, without notice.

8.4. Taxes. The Fees are exclusive of all taxes (including without limitation, value added tax, sales tax, use tax, excise, goods and services tax, etc.), levies, or duties, which may be imposed in respect of these Terms and the purchase or sale, of the Services hereunder (“Taxes”). If Customer is located in a jurisdiction which requires Customer to deduct or withhold Taxes or other amounts from any amounts due to us, Customer should notify us, in writing, promptly and we shall join efforts to avoid and/or reduce any such Tax withholding, provided, however, that in any case, Customer shall bear the sole responsibility and liability to pay such Tax and such Tax should be deemed as being added on top of the Fees payable by Customer.

8.5. Upgrades. Customer may upgrade and/or enhance its Services by either: (i) adding Users; (ii) upgrading to a higher type of Subscription Plan; (iii) adding additional services, products, Add-Ons, features, or functionalities; and/or (iv) upgrading to a longer Subscription Term (collectively, “Upgrades”). Some Upgrades or other changes may be considered as a new purchase, hence will restart the Subscription Term for all or some of the Services and some will not, as indicated within the Services and/or the Order Form. Upon an Upgrade, Customer will be billed for the applicable additional Fees, at our then-current rates (unless indicated otherwise in an Order Form), either: (a) prorated for the remainder of the then-current Subscription Term, or (b) whenever the Subscription Term is being restarted, then the Fees already paid by Customer will be reduced from the new upgraded Fees, and the difference shall be due and payable by Customer upon the date on which the Upgrade was made. “Add-Ons” means additional enhancements and/or additional functionalities for the applicable Services for the respective Subscription Plan purchased by Customer that are made available for purchase, which may be subject to additional Fees.

8.6. Adding Users. Customer acknowledges that unless it disabled these options: (i) Users within the same email domain will be able to automatically join the Account; and (ii) Users within Customer’s Account may invite other persons to be added to the Account as Users (collectively, “Users Increase”). For further information on these options and how to disable them, contact info@grantappli.com. Any changes to the number of Users within a certain Account, will restart the Subscription Term for all or some of the Services, and Customer will be billed for the applicable additional Fees at our then-current rates and the Fees already paid by Customer will be reduced from the new additional Fees, unless otherwise agreed in an Order Form in which case Users will be added for the remainder of the Subscription Term on a prorata basis. We will bill Customer upon the Users increase unless such alternative time is otherwise agreed by us.

8.7. Excessive Usage. We shall have the right, including without limitation where we, at our sole discretion, believe that Customer and/or any of its Users, have misused the Services or otherwise use the Services in an excessive manner compared to the anticipated standard use at our sole discretion (for instance, an excessive number of guests, excessive use of automations, etc.), to offer the Services in different pricing and/or impose additional fees or other restrictions as for the upload, storage, download and/or use of the Services, including, without limitation, restrictions on Third Party Services, network traffic and bandwidth, size and/or length of content, quality and/or format of content, sources of content, volume of download time, etc.

8.8. Billing. As part of registering, or submitting billing information, to the Services, Customer agrees to provide us with updated, accurate and complete billing information, and Customer authorizes us (either directly or through our affiliates, including GrantAppli Inc. or other third parties) to charge, request and collect payment (or otherwise charge, refund or take any other billing actions) from Customer’s payment method or designated banking account, and to make any inquiries that we (or our affiliates and/or third-parties acting on our behalf) may consider necessary to validate Customer’s designated payment account or financial information, in order to ensure prompt payment, including for the purpose of receiving updated payment details from Customer’s credit card company or banking account (e.g., updated expiry date or card number as may be provided to us by Customer’s credit card company).

8.9. Subscription Auto-Renewal. To ensure that Customer will not experience any interruption or loss of services, Customer’s Subscription includes an automatic renewal option by default. Accordingly, unless Customer cancels its Subscription prior to its expiration, which in the case of an annual Subscription, such cancellation notice shall be no less than 30 days prior to its expiration (unless otherwise permitted by GrantAppli), the Subscription to the underlying Services will automatically renew upon the end of the then applicable Subscription Term, for a renewal period equal in time to the original Subscription Term and, unless otherwise notified to Customer, at the same price (subject to applicable Tax changes and excluding any discount or other promotional offer provided for the first Subscription Term). Accordingly, unless either Customer or we cancel the Subscription prior to its expiration, we will attempt to automatically charge Customer the applicable Fees upon or immediately prior to the expiration of the then applicable Subscription Term. If you wish to avoid the auto-renewal, cancel the subscription prior to its expiration at any time, and for annual subscriptions, cancel thirty days prior to the expiration date, per the method outlined in section 8.10.

8.10.  Cancellation. Customer may cancel its subscription at any time.  Customer’s cancelation will take effect at the end of the current paid term.  Cancel through the Account settings or by contacting our team at info@grantappli.com. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, if you cancel your Subscription during a Subscription Term, the Subscription will not renew for an additional period, but you will not be refunded or credited for any unused period within the Subscription Term.  

8.11. Discounts and Promotions. Unless expressly stated otherwise in a separate legally binding agreement, if Customer received a special discount or other promotional offer, Customer acknowledges that upon renewal of the Subscription to the Services, GrantAppli will renew such Subscription to the Services, at the full applicable Fee at the time of renewal.

8.12. Payment through Partner. If Customer purchased Services from a GrantAppli authorized reseller, distributor or engages with an intermediary to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder to us which is approved by us (“Partner”), then to the extent there is any conflict between these Terms and the agreement entered between Customer and the respective Partner, including any purchase order (“Partner Agreement”), then, as between Customer and GrantAppli, these Terms shall prevail. Any rights granted to Customer and/or any of the other Users in such Partner Agreement which are not contained in these Terms, apply only as between Customer and the respective Partner. In that case, Customer must seek redress or realization or enforcement of such rights solely with the Partner and not GrantAppli. For clarity, Customer’s and its Users’ access to the Services is subject to our receipt from Partner of the payment of the applicable Fees paid by Customer to Partner. Customer hereby acknowledges that at any time, at our discretion, the billing of the Fees may be assigned to us, such that Customer shall pay us directly the respective Fees.

9. Refund Policy; Chargeback.

9.1. Refund Policy. If Customer is not satisfied with its first purchase of the Services and solely with respect thereto (“Initial Purchase”), then Customer may terminate such Initial Purchase of the Services by providing us a written notice, within 30 days of such Initial Purchase (“Refund Period”). If Customer terminates such Initial Purchase, within the Refund Period, we will refund Customer the prorata portion of any unused and unexpired Fees pre-paid by Customer in respect of such terminated Services, unless such other sum is required by applicable law, in the same currency we were originally paid (“Refund”). The Refund is applicable only to the Initial Purchase and does not apply to any additional or subsequent purchases, upgrades, modification, or renewals of the Services (even if such were performed during the Refund Period). Please note that we shall not be responsible to Refund any differences caused by change of currency exchange rates or fees that Customer was charged by third parties, such as wire transfer fees. After the Refund Period, the Fees are non-refundable and non-cancellable. To the extent permitted by law, if we find that a notice of cancellation has been given in bad faith or in an illegitimate attempt to avoid payment for Services actually received and enjoyed, we reserve our right to reject Customer’s Refund request. Subject to the foregoing, upon termination by Customer under this Section 9.1 all outstanding payment obligations shall immediately become due for the used Services and Customer will promptly remit to GrantAppli any fees due to GrantAppli under these Terms.

9.2. Non-Refundable Services. Certain Services may be non-refundable. In such event we will identify such Services as non-refundable, and Customer shall not be entitled, and we shall not be under any obligation, to terminate the Services and give a Refund.

9.3. Chargeback. If, at any time, we record a decline, chargeback or other rejection of a charge of any due and payable Fees (“Chargeback”), this will be considered as a breach of Customer’s payment obligations hereunder, and Customer’s use of the Services may be suspended, disabled or terminated at GrantAppli’s discretion. Customer may not have any further access to the Services in the event of such suspension, disablement or termination, unless GrantAppli otherwise enables Customer to resume its access to the Services, at its sole discretion, subject to Customer’s payment of any applicable Fees in full, including any fees and expenses incurred by us and/or any Third Party Services for each Chargeback received (including handling and processing charges and fees incurred by the payment processor), without derogating from any other remedy that may be applicable to us under these Terms or applicable law.

10. Evaluation Services; Pre-Released Services.

10.1. Evaluation Services and Free Versions. We may offer, from time to time, part or all of our Services on a free, no-obligation trial and/or in connection with a free Subscription Plan to the Services for a limited duration and with limited functionality (“Evaluation Services”). The term of the Evaluation Services shall be as communicated to you within the Services, in an Order Form or separately in writing by GrantAppli, unless terminated earlier by either Customer or us, for any reason or for no reason. We reserve the right to modify, cancel and/or limit the Evaluation Services at any time, with or without notice, and without liability or explanation to you. In respect of the Evaluation Services, upon termination, we may change the Account web address at any time without any prior written notice.

10.2. Pre-Released Services. Note that we may offer, from time to time, certain Services or parts thereof as Alpha or Beta versions (“Pre-Released Services”) and we use best endeavors to identify such Pre-Released Services as such. Pre-Released Services are Services that are still under development, and as such they may be inoperable or incomplete, and may contain bugs, suffer disruptions and/or not operate as intended and designated, more than usual.

10.3. Governing Terms of Evaluation Services and Pre-Released Services. The Evaluation Services and Pre-Released Services are governed by these Terms, including relevant Specific Services Terms, provided that notwithstanding anything in these Terms or elsewhere to the contrary, in respect of Evaluation Services and Pre-Released Services (i) such services are licensed hereunder on an “As-Is”, “With All Faults” “As Available” basis, with no representations and/or warranties, express or implied, of any kind; (ii) the indemnity undertaking by us set forth in Section ‎16.2 herein shall not apply; and (iii) IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF GrantAppli, ITS AFFILIATES OR ITS THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, UNDER, OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH, THESE TERMS (INCLUDING THE SITES, THE SERVICES AND THE THIRD PARTY SERVICES), EXCEED US $100.

11.3. Termination by Customer. Customer may terminate its Subscription to the Services by canceling the Services and/or deleting the Account, whereby such termination shall not derogate from Customer’s obligation to pay applicable Fees except where such termination is made within the Refund Period.
